He suddenly opened his eyes and was instantly shocked by the scene before him.

This is no longer a dilapidated wooden hut.

"This is the territory my benefactor spoke of? This is practically the legendary holy city where the gods reside!"

Alec stared in disbelief, muttering to himself.

Just then, Clara stepped forward with a smile and said...

"Hello, welcome to the base. I am Clara. The lord sent me here to greet you."

Upon hearing the words "Lord," Alec immediately realized what was happening and quickly pulled his two granddaughters into a deep bow.

"I will now take you to the accommodations that have been specially assigned to you for rest."

Clara gently gestured for them to proceed, then turned and led the way.

Alec and his two grandchildren followed Clara as if in a dream.

Along the way, Alec's eyes were practically not enough to take it all in; he looked around at everything with curiosity and awe.

Chapter 168 Recruiting People

Towering city walls, neat farmland.

Clara walked along, patiently explaining the rules of survival in this world to them.

"Here, no one will harm you. We will provide you with basic food and shelter. Old man, you can go to the farm or ranch to help with whatever work you can. As for these two children..."

Clara turned to look at the two little girls who were looking around, a hint of affection flashing in her eyes.

"Tomorrow morning, dedicated staff will take them to the school to register. There, they will learn to read, do arithmetic, and if they are talented, they may even learn all sorts of amazing skills."

Alec listened to these wonderful promises and nodded repeatedly with excitement, tears welling up in his eyes once again.

He knew that he had truly encountered the legendary savior, and that the fate of his family would be completely changed from this day forward.

And above the village at this time.

Xu Tian had just sent the three back to the base when a system notification suddenly popped up on his screen.

[Ding! Player "天下唯一" has successfully recruited three wandering human NPCs to their territory!]

[System Reward Received: Gold Coins +3]

Xu Tian glanced at the notification that the gold coins had been credited to his account and paid no further attention to it.

For him now, this paltry reward of gold coins no longer stirs any strong emotions in him.

He flipped over and remounted the massive Ice Shadow Eagle, clapping his hands together sharply.

"Wow!"

With a sudden flap of its massive wings, the Ice Shadow Eagle whipped up a gust of wind, carrying Xu Tian straight up into the air and hurtling towards the east, as Alec had pointed.

"Finally, I've come across a well-organized orc town."

During this period, although players have been expanding their activity range in Eshilia, they have mostly encountered scattered wild monsters or small monster camps.

The biggest one was yesterday's revenge against Zhu Shitian.

For these players who crave battle and resource plunder, small-scale skirmishes simply cannot satisfy their appetite.

And now, a huge orc town.

This means piles of spoils.

With this in mind, Xu Tian had no intention of keeping this secret to himself.

He immediately brought up the group chat that all players had joined, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he typed and sent a message.

[The Only One Under Heaven: @Everyone, attention! I've just discovered a massive orc town in the eastern region and am currently en route to investigate.]

Immediately afterwards, he used the built-in far-view screenshot function to capture the outline of the huge black city wall that was faintly visible on the distant horizon and sent it directly to the group.

[The only one in the world: Image.jpg]

As soon as Xu Tian sent out these two messages, the previously quiet player group was thrown into an uproar, and the entire group chat channel was instantly flooded with messages.

[Peak: Holy crap, an orc town?! Really?! I'm here!]

[Kitten: There's even a town-level map! I'm here! I thought this game was just endless wilderness. Finally, I can see what the enemy faction towns are like!]

[Niu Niu: My axe is itching to get going!]

Seeing the players' replies that instantly went into a frenzy on the chat panel, Xu Tian smiled slightly and closed the chat box.

He knew very well that once this news spread among the players, it would definitely trigger an unprecedented wave of exploration.

I wonder how many players will flock to this town then.

On the way to the orc town, Xu Tian spared some attention to open his system panel and carefully examine the various data on it.

After accumulating and spending money over this period, the number of personal gold coins displayed on his panel has now reached a rather astonishing figure.

Gold Coins: 50123

Looking at the number, Xu Tian nodded in satisfaction, secretly calculating in his mind.

"It seems that the two modules updated in the store today really helped me recoup a huge amount of gold coins."

Currently, there are a total of 230 qualified players across the entire server.

The pet-raising module, priced at 100 gold coins, is extremely popular due to its low entry barrier and high entertainment and companionship value; almost all players with some savings have purchased it.

The Industrial 1.0 module, which also costs 100 gold coins, has had relatively poor sales.

After all, that thing is too hardcore, requiring extremely strong logical thinking and hands-on skills. Apart from logistics supervisors like Yang Qinyu, ordinary combat-oriented players simply can't handle it, so its sales are estimated to be only about half that of pet modules.

Combined with the mods that other players had purchased sporadically, Xu Tian's gold coin reserves finally saw such a surge.

"The price for purchasing a spot with gold coins has now risen to 200 gold coins per spot as the number of participants has increased..."

Xu Tian's gaze deepened as he looked at the clearly priced quota purchase option on the system interface.

As more and more human NPCs are rescued from the base, a large number of professionals are needed to support all aspects, including agricultural production, urban planning, and education.

With only 230 players at present, we are already feeling the strain.

Especially with the quiet advent of the industrial age, the liberation of labor and the leap in productivity, there is an urgent need for more fresh blood to join in order to fully revitalize this grand strategy.

"It's time to expand our forces again."

[Coins deducted successfully!]

Gold Coin Balance: 123 Gold Coins

[System expansion complete! The current server's maximum player capacity has been changed to 480 players.]

Seeing his gold coin balance shrink to only three digits in an instant, Xu Tian didn't feel heartbroken.

"Now that we have the spots, the next question is how to allocate them."

Xu Tian quickly formulated a recruitment plan in his mind.

"Aishlia is expanding rapidly, and those messy wooden and stone houses are really an eyesore, and the defense system is too weak."

"Professional urban planning and renovation are necessary. Therefore, out of these 250 positions, 30 must be reserved for recruiting professionals in the real world who understand urban planning and architectural design."

"besides……"

Xu Tian frowned slightly as he recalled the scene of sending Alec's family into the base.

"The number of human NPCs is increasing every day, and the base's school is already overcrowded. The demand for teachers has become unprecedented. We must reserve 20 more places to recruit professional teachers with real teaching experience."

Chapter 169 Promotional Video

When Xu Tian thought about the issue of teachers, the image of a koi fish immediately came to mind.

Speaking of koi fish, Xu Tian felt a little helpless.

Some players, like Shangshangqian and Jinli, are actually full-time teachers in the real world. They not only teach real students at real schools every day.

After putting on the helmet and entering the game at night, you still have to teach tirelessly in the school of Asheria, facing hundreds of pairs of NPCs eager for knowledge.

As the base has been receiving more and more NPCs recently, the number of classes in the academy has been expanding, causing serious conflicts in the schedules of these part-time teachers.

Some people even sacrifice their real-life rest time so much to get extra lessons in the game that they barely have enough time left.

Xu Tian originally planned to contact Jinli privately to see if she could use her connections to secretly recruit a few more colleagues from their elementary school to join the teaching profession.

However, a couple of days ago, Jinli complained to him in a private chat that she had recently recruited too many colleagues, resulting in several teachers in the school having dark circles under their eyes every day when they came to work.

This unusual situation seems to have caught the attention of their school's dean of students.

The director even spoke to her privately, warning her to tone it down and emphasizing that as a teacher, she must focus on real-world teaching.

We must never allow other teachers to become addicted to so-called virtual reality games while teaching; that would be a waste of their professional duties and a detriment to students.

We should focus more on the children in reality who truly need education.

Hearing Jinli's heartfelt complaints, Xu Tian felt ashamed and embarrassed to continue burdening Jinli with the responsibility of recruiting more people.

If she continues down this path, she'll probably completely drain the teaching staff of their elementary school, and Asheria's school will practically become an alternate world branch of their school.

Therefore, to solve the problem of teacher shortage, Xu Tian could only turn his attention to his Douyin account and publicly announce a recruitment notice.

Since we need to recruit people, dry words alone are definitely not enough; we must have real images that can touch people's hearts.

Xu Tian opened his friends list and sent a private message to Jinli.

[The only one in the world: Koi, are you still taking classes in the game? If so, could you please record some real videos of you teaching NPCs from a first-person perspective and send them to me?]

I just secured a new batch of game slots, and I'm planning to edit a recruitment video to specifically recruit some professional instructors to help you alleviate some of the pressure.

Not long after the message was sent, a reply came from the other end.

[Koi: That's great, Brother Tian, ​​you're a lifesaver! If you don't hire new teachers soon, Shangshangqian and I are about to collapse from exhaustion on the podium. I'm teaching a class right now, wait for me, I'll go out and film some real footage for you right away.]

……

At this moment, in the spacious school specially allocated in the central base of Eshilia.

Koi was sitting on a wooden chair next to the podium, rubbing her temples during a break when the students were studying.
