Chapter 257

At noon, the sun shone through the dense leaves of the elm tree, sprinkling the sunlight on the ground. The sultry weather made the air stagnant. The small stones lying on the road made diligent sounds and the scorching heat in the soles of the feet. Even the cicadas on the elm seemed to have already been energetic at this time, making a few weak chirpings intermittently. The white clouds with blurry outlines floated leisurely in the blue sky. A vague sound of reading came from afar, mixed in the intoxicating fragrance, making people feel drowsy.

Wang Dafu sat in the lobby of the Happy Forest Hotel in depressedly, looking at the open space outside the store with his eyes blank. His dull eyes fully proved that the lord of Green Willow City was now in a daze. His silly figure and the annoying and stuffy heat of the Qiu Tiger Nian made the atmosphere in the entire hall look extremely dull.

"Dalang? What's wrong with you these days?" The clear and soft voice suddenly broke the dull air and slowly came into Wang Dafu's ears.

"No... nothing is wrong, haha~~" Wang Dafu smiled extremely reluctantly.

"It's nothing? You've been sitting here like a door god for three days. Every day, you're looking like you're dying. Are you lying?" Perhaps because of this dull atmosphere, Sister Gao's voice was much louder than usual.

"Haha~~Really, Sister Gao, it's really nothing. I'm just thinking about how to attract more popularity for Green Willow City..." Touching his nose, Wang Dafu answered honestly. Although Sister Gao has always given up on him, if she really gets angry, it's not something that ordinary Hedong lion roar can describe.

"Attract more popularity? Is it necessary?" Sister Gao looked at the endless stream of people on the street with some confusion, and asked in confusion: "Dalang, is our Green Willow City still lacking popularity now? I think it should be overcrowded, right?"

No wonder Sister Gao feels misunderstood. As the first player city in the East Continent and even in the entire "Life", Green Willow City is the so-called "popularity". Many players hope to visit Green Willow City, and everyone who has been here will be attracted by the magnificent scenery and rich and diverse specialties here.

The mysterious and strange shining grass, the towering world tree, the cute emperor penguin... No girl who likes romance can resist this strange temptation; gorgeous and cool Western magic, amazing enchantment equipment, mysterious martial arts hall with a collection of amazing skills... No man with dreams can ignore these fatal attraction. Every tourist who comes to Green Willow City will find something that makes them excited. With the development of time, the Green Willow City area has gradually become one of the most worthwhile areas in the East Continent! The reason why it is a tourist destination, rather than a settlement holy place is entirely because the land price of Green Willow City is now soaring, and the basic requirements for players to settle down have soared to a "sky-high price" of 100,000 gold coins in a house.

After reading Sister Gao's words helplessly, Wang Dafu said half-deadly: "Quality, Sister, I'm talking about quality!"

"Quality? What quality?" Sister Gao was completely confused by this guy. As a hotel owner and a businessman, she was very satisfied with the value of tourists coming to Green Willow City, and everyone was willing to spend money!

"The quality of tourists..." Wang Dafu sighed and continued to say half-deadly: "Although ordinary tourists can bring us gold coins of very good quality, but... sister, although I like gold coins very much, I now hope to get some talents of very good quality!"

"Talent...I understand~~" After talking for a long time, Sister Gao finally figured out what happened to Wang Dafu. It turned out that this man was worried about the lack of talent. Sister Gao hesitated and frowned and said, "Dalang, do you have any plans?" Wang Dafu has been in a daze for more than three days. She would not naively think that Wang Dafu was just staring blankly.

After hearing Sister Gao’s question, Wang Dafu fell into deep thought without answering it. In fact, Wang Dafu already had a few preliminary ideas about recruiting talents.

In "Life", there are only a few ways to recruit suitable talents: wait for the master's brain to send him; then find a way to recruit him through his subordinates; take the initiative to attack, send his subordinates or set out on his own to find him; and then attract him through some special activities... Generally speaking, there are only these ways.

These methods do not matter whether they are good or bad, but they each have some shortcomings. Although waiting for the help of the master's brain can definitely solve the problem, the time spent is difficult to master, and the level of talents obtained through this method is often very limited. The chances of senior talents like Ma Jun appearing are rare, and those who usually appear are junior talents like Skeleton Alchemist or Silver-haired Magician.

It is a relatively safe form through the introduction of subordinates, and there is a certain guarantee in time, but the number is extremely limited. Moreover, it is the so-called "birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups". The friends currently subordinates often come into contact with are all the same type of talents. For example, Lin Chong and Zhu Wu gathered all the military talents, and Tang Bohu interacted with them all the literati and elegant people, so it is difficult to discover new types of talents in this way.

The method of taking the initiative is actually the most commonly used method of collecting talents by lord players at present, but the harvest is hard to say. When you are lucky, you may find a very powerful special talent without any effort, but when you are lucky, you may have tried your best and still get nothing. By the way, this method that depends purely on luck is the method that Wang Dafu dislikes the most and despises the most. A sentence he often says is: "The quality of luck is often inversely proportional to the brain capacity!" But then again, it seems that this guy has always been lucky.

The last one that Wang Dafu likes and wants to adopt now is the last one - attracting it through some special activities! Various large-scale events held in Green Willow City have always been the earliest "Xiayuan Festival", "Music Festival" or later "Flower Appreciation Conference" have left Wang Dafu very beautiful memories. At each conference, countless special talents will automatically gather from every corner to Green Willow City, and at each conference, a large number of gold coins will automatically gather from every corner to Green Willow City... Through these times, he not only gained a large amount of gold coins and earned a lot of heart, but also gained top special talents such as Tao Yuanming, Tang Bohu, Jiang Yan, Zheng Banqiao, etc. It can be said that he is simply a pure "no profit without a foundation"!

In fact, it is not just Green Willow City, but many other territories have also made repeated gains through similar methods. Not to mention the nearest one is the "Poetry and Wine Conference" that just ended in the Jinwen Empire. The lords of that territory also gained a lot.

——So when Wang Dafu faced a talent gap again, his first idea was to create such an event! But the problem is... To create such an event, there needs to be an appropriate "good" reason that can be recognized by the world, otherwise it will be difficult to invite a real expert! What Wang Dafu is in a difficult situation now is - what reason should he use this time?

After sorting out his ideas, Wang Dafu told Sister Gao about his plans and hesitation: "I have been thinking about what reasons I can use to hold a grand event in the past few days?"

To be honest, there is definitely no problem with what kind of event Green Willow City is going to hold. Moreover, because of the special attribute of the Fenglai Tower - with Fenglaiyi, and with the special building - Mingchen Fountain, it is quite attractive to special talents. But as the saying goes, if Wang Dafu cannot come up with a more reasonable reason to hold such a grand event, then even if there was no problem at that time, it would be difficult to say in the long run. After all, if the "evening" is like a cabbage, what is the point of time?

"Haha, a reason~~ There is one here~~Brother!" The person who spoke not Gao, but Wang Dafu's fucking sister Wen Xianglan, who had not appeared for a long time.

"Oh? Xianglan, what are you good ideas?" Since this girl's winemaking technique officially broke through the master's realm, Wang Dafu has rarely seen her. In order to brew better wine and develop a new wine-induced technique, she can't see anyone at all at any time except when she returns to the city lord's mansion to sleep. Today she actually appears on her own initiative and says that she has an idea, which surprised Wang Dafu.

"Brother, have you forgotten? You will be in the Ullambank in more than half a month~~" Wen Xianglan blinked mischievously and said softly.

"The Ullambana will..." Wang Dafu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't say Xianglan, but he really couldn't remember this day. In fact, he didn't forget this day, but he had no special impression at all. Modern people have almost forgotten these ancient festivals.

Before Wang Dafu could speak, the eldest sister Gao next to him was already smiling and said, "Yes! Dalang, if you want to hold a celebration, wouldn't the Ullamban be just right?" Hearing Sister Gao say this, Wang Dafu could no longer sit still, and immediately jumped up and headed straight for the Senate.
