"Yes, Lord. Wobes frowned slightly, and said with a worried expression, "If you encounter this strange fish on the way out to sea, it will most likely die at the bottom of the sea, and unless you can build a larger ship, you can defend against it." ”

Xiao Li gasped, he didn't expect the mutant monster fish he was looking for so fiercely at the moment, it was not as easy to catch as a spotted fish, and it was extremely dangerous.

After this kind of thing happened, he was even a little worried, what if it was a shark and a whale that mutated?

He remembered that some time ago, Sea Shark Island lowered the purchase price of dried fish, which was caused by the panic caused by the failure of the mainland's ships transporting grain to arrive on time.

Now it seems that the cargo ship may have encountered an accident on the way.

"I see, you don't need to travel back and forth to Sea Shark Island frequently in the near future, we already have enough food. Xiao Li suddenly remembered the recruitment of personnel, looked at him and said, "By the way, how did the things I told you go?"

Wobes nodded, "Fourteen young laborers have already been recruited, and if it weren't for the fact that our impression of Chongtian Island was too bad, there would have been more people coming." ”

Xiao Li thought about it for a while, only to realize that what he said was the truth. Before he came, Chongtian Island was an island about to be submerged, and the population would always only flow out, and it was normal for outsiders to have a bad impression of it.

However, thinking that there would be a steady stream of people entering Chongtian Island to work in the future, he felt that the defense work should also be arranged in advance, otherwise he was afraid that there would be people with bad intentions who would come in and make trouble.

"Let them come for an interview, and if they do well, they will get an additional pay bonus. Xiao Li loaded the magazine into the Desert Eagle and said lightly.

"Interview?" Wobes was stunned for a moment, but when he contacted the context, he nodded as if he didn't understand, turned and walked out of the house.

After a while, fourteen laborers lined up neatly at the door under his leadership, and they looked around, really a little puzzled, as if there were big people who wanted to see themselves?

Under the gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, Xiao Li appeared brightly, his gaze swept over these laborers, and they immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other.

"Each of you only has one interview opportunity to give you a brief overview of your personal experience and why you came to Chongtian Island. "Xiao Li also interviewed a lot of people for his parents before crossing over, although this is all nonsense, but the process still has to go.

When the words fell, a middle-aged man stood up, he bowed deeply to Xiao Li, and then introduced himself:

"I've seen adults, the small name is Li Xiaosi, a native of Bird Island, who used to work on Sea Shark Island and did loading and unloading work. I heard that you are going to recruit laborers, and the price is much higher than others, so I wanted to come and try it. ”

Xiao Li nodded, and casually recorded it on the thick paper with a quill pen, and √ at the same time.

"Pass, next. ”

Li Xiaosi was a little excited when he heard this, and bowed again before retreating to the back.

The second man stepped forward, and he seemed a little nervous.

"See... I've seen adults, and the little one's name is Ai... Ivy, a native of Mousse Island, used to fish on Sea Shark Island, and then returned to his hometown to learn carpentry from the master carpenter for a few days, and knew a thing or two about shipbuilding. Ivy was a little nervous at first, but as soon as he spoke, he became more and more bold, peeking at the handsome face in the seat from time to time.

"Have you learned carpentry, do you know a thing or two about shipbuilding?" Xiao Li frowned slightly, looked at him and said, "You also know what happened in the Poli Sea recently, right?

"The adults and the small ones think that in addition to building a bigger ship, there is another way, and that is to strengthen the hull with a layer of iron sheets, so that it can effectively prevent the attack of strange fish. ”

Before Ivey finished speaking, a sarcastic voice immediately sounded behind him, and a white-faced young man walked out, saluted the handsome man in the seat, and then said slightly:

"Adult, the little one thinks he's talking nonsense, not to mention how precious those pieces of iron are, the problem is that with our technology in the Polly Sea, we can't crack it into thin slices at all, so the little one thinks he's talking nonsense. “

'It's kind of interesting', Xiao Li smiled slightly, didn't stop it, and motioned for him to continue.

Seeing this, the white-faced young man also felt a little more confident, and continued: "My lord, in my humble opinion, we should fight poison with poison and kill them. ”

"The little ones think that since they can penetrate even wooden boats, it must not be easy, and if they are a commodity, they must be worth a lot. ”

Although the white-faced young man did not give a solution in the end, his thoughts coincided with Xiao Li, which made him a little impressed.

"Yes, tell me about your personal experience. ”

The white-faced young man saluted again and said, "My lord, the youngest is the second son of the Oliver family on Sea Shark Island, named Oreo, who was kicked out by his father because he bumped into his brother at a banquet. ”

"I happened to hear that you want to recruit laborers, so the little one is very curious, with the situation in Chongtian Island, it is difficult to even have food and clothing, and now he actually wants to recruit laborers, so the little one wants to try his luck. ”

Although it was a little bizarre, Xiao Li still made a √ on the rough paper, now is the time when there is a shortage of people, let's try it for the time being.

"Both of you passed, next. ”

Subsequently, the rest of the people stepped forward to report in turn, and Xiao Li's comers did not refuse, and all of them made a √ and cleared the customs. Originally, he didn't think of rejecting them, and the record was just to select talents for job matching.

After passing the interview, Wobes left with them.

Xiao Li looked at the list on the rough paper and muttered, "There is a large population, and it is definitely not enough to rely on yourself, you must train managers." I think Harriman is good, why don't you let him try?"

"Ryan is also old, and I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to help myself in the future, so I must look for good candidates in advance in this regard. In addition, the defense forces need ...... people."

After thinking about it, Xiao Li suddenly had a headache, he didn't expect to be an island owner so tiring, how can he be a shopkeeper?

Xiao Li shook his head and decided to chop his hands, and his thoughts moved into his mind.

"List the reputation required for various commonly used items. After Xiao Li made a wish, he immediately got a response in his mind.

Mobile: 20 reputation.

Computer: 30 reputation.

Toothpaste: 1 reputation.

Toothbrush: 1 reputation.

......

The catalog was long, but he was patient enough to go through all the items, and then shouted:

"Exchange for a steel knife, kitchen knife, and kitchen three-piece ......"

When the words fell, the original reputation value of more than 1,000 suddenly dropped a lot, changing to 658 points.

At the same time, there was a large number of extra items inside the house.
