Chapter 206: Hiring NPCs
With a flash of golden light, a golden management interface immediately appeared in front of Li Xu.
The three big characters on the panel are impressively in the smoke city!
Li Xu saw the city management interface for the first time and couldn't help but be surprised by the content on it
The whole interface is divided into three functional areas, on the left and above two sub-interfaces, respectively, the introduction and function management of the Gunsmoke City, and in the whole area on the right, there is a tattered three-dimensional city picture.
He understood that the dilapidated city shrouded in black smoke shown on the right was the current state of the Gunsmoke City.
Looking at the tragic situation of the outer city, now even the city walls have disappeared, and the city is in ruins.
The situation in the inner city is better, although the castle tower has collapsed countless openings, but the general outline is still there, most of the buildings in the city have collapsed, and several buildings have remained, including the city administration hall near the foot of the mountain.
Li Xu withdrew his gaze from the right and began to pay attention to the various command options in the ribbon on the left
The upper interface on the left side shows the list of city personnel management, as well as some basic information about the city
Illegal fiefdom: [Gunsmoke City]
Size: Junior town
Construction: -3000/10000
Vault: 0/300,000
Strength: 0/300
Population: 0/3000
Status: Not upgradeable
Looking at the simple information of the city, the crimson number in the construction column is shocking, and the system seems to be telling him that the current Gunsmoke City is on the verge of being completely destroyed at any time, and the restoration work is urgent!
And the current state, the word "non-upgradeable", means that the current city cannot be expanded
Li Xu was very curious about what the expanded city would look like, which made him look forward to it.
After a brief look at the basic information of the city, he found that there was a faint golden light flashing around this interface, as if he could look further.
Li Xu immediately stretched out his hand curiously and clicked at this sub-interface
Swish!
With a flash of golden light, this interface quickly became larger, covering the original city interface, and more detailed information appeared in front of his eyes
Gunsmoke City Lord: Fight against fate
Deputy City Lord: Vacant
Deputy City Lord: Vacant
Castle Guard General: Vacant
The Castle Warden "Vacancy."
Captain Dongmen: Vacant
Captain Simon: Vacant
Captain South Gate: Vacant
Captain North Gate: Vacant
Captain Treasurer: Vacant
Behind the long list of official positions, except for the position of the city lord occupied by Li Xu, all of them were vacant.
Li Xu curiously stretched out his finger and clicked on the two small words on the vacancy behind the deputy city lord
In an instant, a small box appeared, which seemed to require Li Xu to enter the name of the deputy city lord in order to take effect.
So that's the case, he thought in his heart, and wanted to try the function of appointing the deputy city lord
Without hesitation, Li Xu immediately entered the name of Bing Xue Xin in this box.
Ding: I'm sorry, Ice Heart doesn't have any contractual agreement with you, and can't serve as the deputy city lord of Gunsmoke City!
Ah, and a covenant agreement is needed to appoint NPCs?
Li Xu instantly understood that at present, due to the scale of Gunsmoke City, two deputy city lords can only be appointed at the same time.
Ice and Snow Heart can't do it, Bing Wan and Xiao Lu, and the thirty Snow Army soldiers are probably not good.
"Fighting against fate, are you appointing me as the deputy city lord?" Bing Xuexin's crisp voice came from his side in confusion.
"Yes, I tried it and wanted you to be the deputy city lord, but" Li Xu shook his head speechlessly.
"How can Miss be the deputy city lord of the broken city, she is the princess of our Ice and Snow City." Midori said with a smile.
"Mortal, you have nothing to do with our young lady, it is impossible for her to accept your invitation to an official position, not to mention that you are an illegal fief, it is even more impossible." Bingwan smiled.
"I just want you to live safely in this city, that's why I," Li Xu said embarrassedly.
"Fighting against fate, I understand your intentions, now I am wanted by the royal family, we are all enemies of the human royal family, if you want to stay safely within the jurisdiction of Tianmeng City, I am afraid that you can only temporarily stay in this city, I am willing to accept your official position." Ice Heart nodded.
"But miss, you have nothing to do with him, and you can't serve as the deputy city lord of your private territory." Midori said.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the young lady casually reaches a contract with the rebel sky, she can accept the position of deputy city lord." Bingwan smiled.
"I think so too, at present, the city is about to start repairing, I need more manpower to help me manage this city, Sister Bingwan can serve as the general of the town guard, Xiao Lu can serve as the manager of the treasury, and Wei Cheng can serve as the long history, so that when I am not in the city, everyone can perform their duties and help the city develop rapidly, and there will be no need to worry about the harassment of the enemy in the future." Li Xu said.
"It's a good job, but there's a problem, I don't know what kind of contract to sign to accept your position." Bing Xuexin frowned and said suspiciously.
"Yes, what kind of contract should I sign, we can all say that it's a big deal to sign a temporary employment agreement with you and become your temporary bodyguard, but the young lady's status is noble, and the general contract has no effect." Bingwan said hesitantly.
"What is a temporary employment agreement?" Li Xu asked in surprise.
"A temporary employment agreement is an agreement in which you make a condition to hire us to be your servants temporarily and protect you for a certain period of time, and this is the lowest level of agreement, which can be entered into immediately as long as both parties are willing." Bingwan smiled.
"Okay, I'll prepare a contract immediately, and let Sister Bingwan and Xiao Lu establish a contract with me first." Li Xu hurriedly said.
"Yes, you can draw up a contract now, we won't embarrass you, and the reward will be set at one gold coin a day." Midori said with a smile.
"Okay." Li Xu opened the social management interface with a smile, found the contract bar, and immediately began to set it up
In the contract column, sure enough, as Bingwan and Xiaolu said, the most basic system contract is this temporary employment contract
This kind of contract can only be signed between players and NPCs of the same faction, which roughly means that players want to ask those fighting NPCs to temporarily protect themselves from monsters or NPCs of the opposing faction.
However, this contract also has a big limitation, which is that players cannot hire NPCs to help them against players, even those from opposing factions.
And the hired NPCs can't help players with quests and leveling
As soon as he opened the template of the temporary employment contract, the content on it was already very complete, and Li Xu only needed to set the employment period and remuneration, and he could formally apply for the contract to the other party
Set the maximum contract time for one week, and the minimum remuneration per day is one gold coin, and this simple contract is complete
Li Xu successively applied for a contract with Xiao Lu and Bingwan, and even thirty Flying Snow Army soldiers at the same time, and in an instant, he saw thirty-two white rays of light flying out of his body
The halo flew all over the sky, flying towards Bingwan and Xiao Lu, as well as the entrance of the main hall.
Ding Ding Ding
In less than a few seconds, a long series of prompts continued to pop up in front of Li Xu's eyes
System: Congratulations to the player, the temporary employment contract between you and [Bingwan] has been accepted by the other party, and the contract is officially established, please ensure that the amount of gold coins in the package every day is enough to pay the reward!
System: Congratulations to the player for going against the grain, and your temporary employment contract with [Green] has been accepted by the other party
At the moment when the prompt appeared, the top of the heads of the two NPC beauties, Bingwan and Xiao Lu, whose names were originally blue, immediately changed to friendly green names.
This means that their relationship with Li Xu has gone one step further and has become a teammate-like intimate relationship
Even the names of the thirty fierce warriors standing on the top of the ruined city tower turned green
"What about me, you have all signed a contract, what should I do?" Bing Xuexin asked anxiously with a wink of beautiful eyes.
"Miss, your status is noble, and you can't sign a contract like ours with him." Midori said with a smile.
"Little girl is right, your status and rank limit your freedom, and you can't be the same as us." Bingwan smiled.
"Xuexin, don't worry, I'll look again, and I'll always find a contract agreement that can be signed between us." Li Xu said comfortingly.
In the city management interface for the first time, he set all the thirty soldiers of the Flying Snow Army who had just signed the contract as the soldiers defending the city, and then appointed Bingwan as the general of the city guard, responsible for the security management of Gunsmoke City.
Midori was directly appointed as the Treasurer of the City, handling the management of the vault and material warehouse.
Wei Cheng was appointed as the city warden, overseeing the city's infrastructure and restoration.
With a series of orders, all the NPCs in the city were hung with new official positions on their heads
On the head of the beautiful assassin, there is a striking golden [City Guard General] on her head, and from this moment on, she has the right to manage the defense of the entire city, but at present, when the city has not been repaired, she has not much authority to govern
"Wow, I don't have a copper plate in my vault." Midori exclaimed in a fuss.
"It's okay, there will be more and more money in it in the future." Li Xu explained with a smile, and was already in the contract bar in his hand, rummaging through the contract options that could be signed with Bing Xue Xin
For each contract, the system has a corresponding template for players to choose from, but Li Xu and his party searched for dozens of contract templates, but they still didn't find an agreement that applied to the fairy.
Because in each contract, as soon as you enter the name of Ice Heart, you will immediately be warned that the object is invalid
Ice Heart's identity, level, and strength make her now a high-level NPC that players can't hire at all, and she is a god-level existence that can only be looked up to
Originally, with her status, it was impossible for any player to come into contact with her at this stage, let alone abduct her from the palace.
It is simply impossible to sign a primary contract with such a high-level NPC with close proximity to the top
