Ranch Story: Start Over

Yun Feifei stretched and said slowly:

"No problem. It should be done between seven and eight in the evening. How about our dinner?"

"No problem. You guys can go back after dinner. I'll make it right away. But Sister Yun, you guys should eat first. I have to go back to town at 7:30. Remember to wash the dishes for me."

"Is this the Mineral Town Residents' Meeting? Tsk, tsk, did the tax revenue from last night come out?"

Yun Feifei quickly thought of the first quarter residents' meeting of Mineral Town, and asked:

"No, the results haven't come out yet, but I will definitely attend the residents' meeting. This is my first time attending a residents' meeting in Mineral Town, and it's a good opportunity to get to know everyone. I was busy with work last night, and no one got to know me properly."

Yun Feifei said with a smile:

"Then congratulations, you're finally joining the big family of Mineral Town. Remember to look back and remember us, your sisters."

Feng Ling nodded and agreed. He still had a lot of things to do. A partner like Yun Feifei would definitely be one of his helpers in the future. After all, she could be considered one of the decision makers in their town. But the strange thing was that the mayors of other towns all had an assistant, but Mayor Thomas only had himself, and yet he was able to maintain the normal operation of the Mineral Town, which was not easy.

At this moment, Yun Feifei suddenly thought of something, and then rummaged through the briefcase. Finally, she found what she wanted, a letter of authorization.

"Today, Feng Ling, a resident of Mineral Town, is granted the title of Honorary Resident of Star-Moon Town. He can enjoy a 5% discount on all goods in the town, the right to develop all materials such as minerals, and can participate in the Star-Moon Town Residents' Assembly to issue tasks."

This description made Feng Ling wipe his eyes and look at Yun Feifei in surprise.

Yun Feifei smiled and said:

"Don't be surprised. This is the result of a discussion between the mayors of the other four towns and our assistants last night. Their people will give you this authorization letter when they come to Mineral Town in two days. We have been discussing what kind of reward we should give you last night. How about this treatment? Is it useful to you? There will also be a special resident badge delivered to you later. That thing is the work of a master."

It is more than useful, it really fits Feng Ling's wishes. Although I don't know what the badge looks like, I think it shouldn't be too bad.

Moreover, with this letter of authorization, Feng Ling can participate in the residents' meeting tasks issued by other towns. Usually these tasks are issued to residents of this town, and outsiders are not qualified to participate, make suggestions or make decisions.

And now, with this, Feng Ling can accept missions in other towns.

Plus this 5% discount, don’t underestimate this 5%, it can definitely save you a lot of money for valuable items.

Feng Ling took the authorization letter with both hands and took another careful look at it. Then, Feng Ling saw that his resident attributes on the system panel had changed.

Thomas, Mayor of Mineral Town, Honorable Citizen (-10%)

Xingyue Town Mayor - Luo Xi - Honorary Resident (-5%)

Mayor of Shashi Town - Qian Jiangxin - Honorary Resident (-5%)

Mayor of Greenfields - Shirley - Honorary Resident (-5%)

White Peach Town Mayor Kevin - Honorary Resident (-5%)

It's strange. When did Mayor Thomas give himself the certificate of honorary resident? It seems that he has tacitly agreed that it is very likely that the Mineral Town Residents' Meeting to be held tonight will award this honorary certificate.

Seeing the product price drop by 10%, Feng Ling felt regretful. If he had known, he should have waited until the award ceremony was over before buying the magic backpack. Now, he has spent an extra 6.5. It is a lot of money!

Yun Feifei said to Feng Ling solemnly:

"Feng Ling, you have to pay attention. The honorary resident status of each town is time-limited. You must complete at least one construction task for the other town every year to continue to enjoy this privilege. Otherwise, it will be deemed that you have automatically given up."

Feng Ling asked tentatively:

"Sister Yun, isn't 5% a little too little? Do you think you can give us a bigger discount?"

“How greedy! You can save 5 out of a million in turnover materials. For a future ranch tycoon like you, it’s already a lot. Many people don’t even get the reward of honorary resident.

You know, as far as I know, the residents of Mineral Town have the most honorary residents among our five towns. Otherwise, how do you think Thomas could have held on until now? The competition between them and you has put a lot of pressure on you!

Even in our small towns, each town has no more than 10 honorary residents, and our Xingyue Town only has 3. Do you think this honorary resident is cheap?"

Feng Ling was surprised by Yun Feifei's answer. It was so difficult to obtain just such an honorary resident. Could it be that there was another way to become his honorary resident?

"Sister Yun, where is the Honored Resident? What is this title?"

"Oh, Thomas is so generous that he actually directly awarded you the privileges of Honorary Resident?"

Feng Ling shook his head, deciding not to let anything out.

"No, I just heard them talking about it when I went shopping today, and now that you've awarded me this, I'm asking about it."

Yun Feifei said seriously:

"You heard it right. The level of privileges of residents in each town is different. Honor residents have more privileges. Just reducing the price of goods by 10% is already very scary.

This is especially true in economically underdeveloped towns where the gap between the rich and the poor is greater.

Many people don't care about this honorary resident at all. They just want to live their own lives well. For example, except for the honorary residents, everyone else in your Mineral Town is the same. They may have no confidence as they see the Mineral Town becoming more and more decadent.

Although honorary resident seems very tempting, it is of little significance to a small town with weak economic strength. It seems that Thomas is planning to use you to stimulate others. "

"Uh, using me? Look how poor I am, Sister Yun. I only cultivated the land today because of your advantage. No one else has time to care about me. This honorary title doesn't seem to have much appeal to me now."

Feng Ling had no choice. He had just arrived and was really poor and pitiful. He lived in Mineral Town, a sparsely populated town near the sea. Although many residents of Mineral Town in the game were wealthy, that was only on the surface. In reality, there were more than a hundred people in Mineral Town.

Now that he has money with great difficulty, he is unable to recruit suitable residents to work on the ranch due to geographical constraints and inconvenient transportation. Otherwise, he would not have been so excited when he heard during the day that Aunt Anna was willing to lend her nephews and nephews to him to help on the ranch.

Anyway, we are short of people, money and everything.

Yun Feifei shook her head:

"Let me explain briefly. You may not know after traveling around the continent for so many years. There are four levels in total: Honorary Resident, Honorary Resident, Core Resident, and Guest Elder. The first two are relatively simple.

For the last two, for example, guest elders have the right to participate in the town's construction and management, and enjoy 10% of the town's fiscal revenue. Your grandfather Feng Qingyang is like this, but it's a pity that Grandpa Feng is not permanent. If he had lasted for another five years, you wouldn't have to do everything by yourself when you came, at least you wouldn't be so short of money, and it's still very enviable to enjoy the blessings of your predecessors, not to mention the transfer of people."

After hearing this result, Feng Ling finally realized the importance of these titles. This really is treating the town as his own home, and he even has the power to control it, which is equivalent to half the mayor.

"! To put it bluntly, even if you are not the mayor, everything in this town has your share?"

"Yes, what do you think? Don't you think this is particularly useful? Whether it is for yourself, your family, or your descendants, this is a permanent guarantee. Are you interested?"
