Chapter 24: Hiring Gophers
Encouraged by the rewards, players successfully completed the task of collecting wood before going offline.

Looking at the exhausted players in front of him who were panting and their legs were shaking, Ryan couldn't help but sigh.

We still underestimate the potential of players. They really dare to fight for rewards.

Ryan even felt that if he could give enough rewards when dealing with the Circle Bear before, these players would dare to fight against the Circle Bear.

"Congratulations, you have successfully completed the task of collecting wood. This is the reward you deserve."

Ryan distributed some experience points and elf coins to the players.

Experience points are automatically added to them through the panel.

As for the elf coins, Ryan asked White to find someone to make them out of scrap iron.

The elf coins issued by the panel are virtual and cannot be withdrawn at all. They can only be purchased in the store module.

He also couldn't transfer these elf coins to players, after all, they didn't have a mission panel.

Ryan had no choice but to create some currency himself, and then act as a middleman. Players would buy whatever props they wanted from him with these currencies, and he would then go to the panel store to purchase the items.

Of course, the price sold to the player must not be the same as in the store, he still has to earn a little agency fee.

Moreover, distributing physical currency can also improve the player's sense of gain, and they are playing with the elf currency fondly at this time.

"As for the right to use farmland, after you come back from the God Realm tomorrow, I will let someone lead you to choose."

Ryan turned his attention to Chen Yan.

"The one among you who collects the most wood is Silent. His farmland will be larger, and he will also receive special rewards."

Ryan took out an elf ball and a sticky pill and handed them to Chen Yan.

"I have already mentioned the function of the Poké Ball before. This sticky ball is used to restrict the movement of Pokémon. I used this prop when I fought the Ring Bear this morning. You can see the effect."

Chen Yan accepted the reward with an excited face. He originally thought that the special reward was just a poke ball, but he didn't expect that there was an extra sticky ball.

This prop can trap such a powerful circle bear, and it will provide another way to save life in the future.

He happily put away the two props, and heard Ryan say again:

"On top of that, you can rent a gopher for free to help you plow the land."

"Gopher? What kind of Pokémon is it again? It can actually help cultivate the land."

"I only know whack-a-mole. Don't mice destroy farmland?"

Seeing the confused looks on the faces of several players, Ryan decided to take them to observe on the spot.

He led the players to the courtyard and found the gophers gnawing at tree roots.

"Is this a gopher? It looks nothing like a mouse, but more like an earthworm."

"In reality, earthworms are indeed good for the soil. Is it possible that they also have this ability?"

"They eat tree roots? No wonder the lord asked us to bring some roots back when we cut down trees."

The gophers all gathered together after seeing Ryan. They had been very comfortable these two days. They had Pokémon food and fresh roots to eat every day.

What Ryan promised at the beginning has been fulfilled, and they naturally have to fulfill their duties and work hard to help humans farm.

Moreover, if they keep eating without doing anything, the gophers will not feel at ease, fearing that one day Ryan will no longer want them.

"These people need your help in plowing the fields, but they don't know what you are capable of. Show them your skills first."

Ryan knelt down and said to them.

"Whisper!"

The gophers nodded, they didn't want to disappoint Ryan.

The gophers turned their heads and burrowed into the ground next to them. As they advanced, large areas of soil were turned over.

After a while, they turned over this large piece of land.

This left the players stunned.

"How long does it take? They are too efficient!"

"The soil is well turned, and after a little tidying it can be sown directly."

Ryan looked at the players with glaring eyes and knew that they were already moved, so he added again:

"You have all seen that gophers are good at plowing the ground. It doesn't take long to turn over the soil."

"And their dung will make the soil more fertile, which can greatly increase the production of food."

Ryan pointed to one of the gophers and said to Chen Yan:

"This gopher will be rented to you for free. You just need to find some tree roots for it to eat every day."

The other four players were very envious when they saw Chen Yan taking away a gopher. They also wanted a gopher to help cultivate the land.

"Okay, the rewards have been distributed, you can return to the God Realm, see you tomorrow."

Ryan made a show of returning to the castle.

Seeing that Ryan was about to leave, some players finally couldn't help it anymore.

"Wait! Please ask, Lord, if we can rent these gophers."

Lao Ye stopped Ryan.

"I'm afraid it won't work. In fact, these gophers are used to renovate the land of those whose cultivated land has been damaged."

"The reason why I rented it to Wuyan for free is because it is a special reward for him. You are not qualified to rent it for the time being."

Ryan shook his head and refused, which made the players anxious.

"Lord, we are also your subjects. We came from the God Realm to help you build the territory. What's more, we have also completed many territory tasks. There is no credit but hard work. Please rent it to us!"

"It's not unreasonable what you said." Ryan pretended to hesitate.

Lao Ye and the others saw that Ryan was a little shaken, and hurriedly continued to persuade:

"And we don't rent in vain, we can pay elf coins!"

Ryan was overjoyed, waiting for your words!
He pretended to think for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, let's rent it to you!"

After seeing Ryan nodding in agreement, the players all happily came over to pay.

But when they handed over the money, they realized that their spirit coins seemed to be a bit insufficient.

"Is the cost so high? I only have enough elf coins to rent it for two days."

"That's pretty good of you. After deducting the elf coins used for resurrection, I don't even have enough money to rent it for a day."

Ryan seemed to see that they were cash-strapped, and specially provided them with a solution.

You can temporarily owe it first, and then deduct it from the reward after completing the task later.

The players were very moved after hearing this. They did not expect the lord to be so considerate of them that he was willing to lend them money to rent gophers, even without interest.

So when Ryan suggested they could rent the Three Gophers, they agreed without a second thought.

The lord will not lie to us!
Although the rental price of the three-gopher is a bit more expensive, it can turn the soil faster, and it can also use the 'ploughing' technique, which can further increase the growth rate and yield of food.

Anyway, we are already in arrears, why not rent a three-gopher if we owe more.

So except for the calmer Xiyue and Chen Yan who can rent the hamster for free, the other three players have rented the three hamsters.

At the same time, they were also burdened with heavy debts.

But they were very happy and thought they were getting a bargain. They even expressed their gratitude to Ryan when they were about to log off.

After the players were all offline, Ryan went back to the study and looked at the elf coins that had just been issued and returned to him. He still felt a little guilty in his heart.

He obviously wants players to use gophers to plow the land to set an example for those who are afraid of Pokémon, but he still has to pretend that he doesn't want to rent it to players.

His purpose is to recover the elf coins in the hands of players.

After this operation, not only did the players help him promote the benefits of farming with Pokémon, but they even owed him money.

"Why am I becoming more and more like a capitalist, I won't be hung up by players in the future."

Ryan murmured.

"Probably not. They even thanked me when they went offline. Besides, although they have debts, they have gained happiness. In fact, they are not at a loss."

"Dong Dong~"

A knock on the door interrupted Ryan's thoughts.

"Master Ryan, the circle bear has woken up, do you want to go over and have a look?"

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Ryan got up and walked out. He had a lot of questions to ask Circle Bear.
