The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Hula-la-la

The captain's loudspeaker was still broadcasting the message for the second time when the arrivals swarmed over.

Seeing the large and chaotic crowd rushing towards them, the captain immediately asked Ruan Mianmian, "Do you need help?"

"No need, you just need to help maintain order," Ruan Mianmian said.

This time, she brought a simulated mini-market. Anyone who goes in and takes something must give something in return to leave. Moreover, the artificial intelligence will calculate the specific value so that no one will be at a disadvantage.

Upon seeing that the small shopping mall was indeed filled with all sorts of items, the arriving passengers, forgetting their excitement, rushed over as quickly as possible, heading straight for the food section, grabbing whatever they could find without any selection.

After getting the small package of potatoes, I noticed the rice next to it and quickly grabbed that too. Then, when I saw the bags of noodles, I grabbed those as well. I wanted everything.

However, small shopping malls have purchase limits, so even though they were extremely reluctant, they had to make a choice.

If you have valuable items, you can easily take them with you when you go to pay. But if you have low-value items, you often have to return some of the items you chose before you can afford to buy them.

However, these people, who were originally on the verge of starvation, are now very satisfied with the food they have, even if it is small.

However, these people were also worried because they didn't have much food on hand, and once it ran out, they would face the crisis of running out of food. Therefore, they were extremely worried and asked the patrol team every day if there was any work they could do.

The team leader has already received the notification from above, and each time he answers that there is no work to do.

This makes those entering the country even more worried.

They will starve to death once they run out of valuable items.

How am I supposed to survive?

Some desperate people couldn't resist having bad thoughts, but these thoughts were as faint as fireflies, and they were extinguished with a "poof" when they saw the weapons in the patrol team's hands.

If you can't win, you can only save yourself.

They couldn't even worry about where to stay for the time being, prioritizing digging underground, and they increased the speed and duration of their digging.

There was an earthquake before, so there must be useful things hidden underground. If we can dig up something useful, we can buy supplies and survive.

However, this area was originally a border region and was basically wasteland. If it weren't for the earthquake and subsequent floods that brought supplies over, they wouldn't have been able to dig anything up.

The scarcity of finds left the arrivals in despair, forcing them to reduce their daily food and water intake.

Basically, everyone only ate about half full, and they wouldn't drink water unless they were extremely thirsty.

Everyone wants to save money so they can live a little longer.

Besides these, they still asked the patrol team every day if there was any work available, and tried their best to show off their skills, hoping that the patrol team would take notice and give them a job opportunity.

But the patrol team's response remained the same: "We ourselves are all looking for work, and there is a huge shortage of positions. We don't have any positions available for you at the moment."

The arrivals were in utter despair.

They thought that by climbing mountains and wading through rivers, risking their lives to get to the vast and resource-rich Dongda University, they would find a chance to survive. However, they never expected that even after all the hardships they had endured to get here, they still could not escape death.

Just as the arrivals were in despair and all knelt on the ground begging the patrol team for a job, the patrol team leader looked troubled and said he would try to help them apply, but he couldn't guarantee whether they could get the job.

To convince these immigrants that they were truly without work, the patrol team contacted their superiors directly in front of them, requesting some job openings and explaining how miserable and hardworking the intruders were. After much persuasion and agreeing to many conditions, they finally received confirmation.

After hanging up the phone, the captain looked at the inbound travelers kneeling on the ground, their faces full of pleading and despair, and said, "I've secured some opportunities for you, but the treatment isn't good. Now I'll announce the work and benefits. You can do what you want, and you don't have to force yourself if you don't want to."

He cleared his throat, saying, "Ten hours of digging per day, ten yuan a month. No slacking off, no being lazy. Anyone caught doing the above will be fired."

A student at Dongda University works 8 hours a day and earns 40 yuan.

But those are our own people, so their wages and working hours are naturally different.

Upon hearing the price, the newcomers didn't even bother to calculate whether it was cheap; they immediately shouted that they wanted to do the job.

Seeing them scrambling and shouting to sign up, creating a chaotic scene, the team leader immediately shouted, "Stop shouting! Everyone can be selected for work. Now, line up and come over to register your names."

Everyone signed up, and then they began to calculate in their minds whether ten yuan a day could support them.

Rice costs 2.5 yuan per jin (0.5 kg), so 10 yuan can buy 4 jin.

They survive by working every day!

Everyone wept with joy and resolved to work hard so that they could survive in this terrible cold.

Seeing the joy on everyone's faces, the team leader said in a stern voice, "Don't think that signing up means you're all set. If you don't work hard, we'll find out and you'll be fired immediately. Also, don't even think about comparing your salary with those from Dongda University. They are our citizens, and their treatment is naturally better than yours."

He paused here, glancing at the crowd, and seeing no sign of displeasure on their faces, continued...

"Not only in terms of salary, but also in terms of rules and regulations, the requirements for you are stricter than theirs. I'll say it again: if you're not satisfied, you don't have to do it. This time, in order to secure jobs for you, we've reduced the number of positions for our own people, and there's a lot of dissatisfaction in the country right now."

The arrivals all said, "We will definitely work hard." As for differential treatment, isn't that just a given?

Just like parents, they treat their own children better than other people's children.

Listening to the team leader's words, Ruan Mianmian asked Professor Zhao, who had come specifically to see the recruitment, "Do you think those people will harbor resentment because everything is so strict?"

Professor Zhao shook his head: "It's generally unlikely. Many people are afraid of authority but not morality. If you treat them too well, they won't know how to be grateful. Instead, they'll treat you normally. If you're stricter and more demanding than you are with others, they won't dare to cause trouble."

Ruan Mianmian thought about it and agreed, so she asked another question: "There are only a few hundred people. Can we just ignore them completely? Once they die, will their country's territory automatically belong to us?"

"Ultimately, it lacks legitimacy and proper justification," Professor Zhao said.

"Besides, this country only has so few people left. What about other countries? We can't just wait until they're all wiped out before taking their land, can we? That's simply impossible. So, it's better to use this policy to gradually get these people closer to us, hoping they'll join us, and then let them fully integrate."
