Chapter 50 Reward System
After the excited Andele left, Richard looked at Karu.
"Where did the search and rescue team get this information?"
After Karu organized his words, he said softly.
"Sir, this information was informed by them and a team of Luanwei Flower Merchants who stayed in that area to search."
"Besides the information about Andele's father, is there anything else to gain?"
"We also found some residents trapped in the oasis, but the search and rescue team had just returned and were still having a meal, so I didn't have time to ask for too much information."
Richard nodded. He was already back anyway, so he was not in a hurry.
"What are the casualties on other teams?"
"Seven people were injured and four died."
"The dead will be buried in the place of glory, and the injured will be rewarded with some Desert Crown honey."
"Yes, my lord."
After a simple arrangement, Richard unloaded all the prey that was almost filling the system space and let the residents deal with it.
He returned to the lord's mansion and had a sumptuous dinner in comfort.
After they had had enough wine and food, they summoned the search and rescue team.
There were 60 people when we went out, 6 of them were killed the day before yesterday, and now 4 more have been sacrificed, and of the 10 mummies sent out, only 5 are left.
The vast desert is indeed full of dangers.
But in exchange for an A-level hero, this wave is not a loss.
Compassion does not command troops, and as a lord, one must not be indecisive.
He will not hesitate if he should be sacrificed.
This is the background of a world where all races are fighting for hegemony. There is peace now, but it is just that war has not yet broken out.
"Good night, Lord."
After entering the house, all residents immediately saluted, and no one dared to exceed it.
The person in front of them is the only master of this land, and he can decide their fate with just one word.
After Li Cha stood up, he looked around with admiration.
He chuckled and said, "No need to be polite, every resident who contributes to Twilight City deserves respect."
"You have worked hard these days."
Two simple sentences immediately warmed the hearts of the crowd.
Lord, I have not forgotten them.
"Can any of you tell me what you have encountered these days?"
With his encouragement, a young man stepped forward and said tentatively.
"Lord, can I?"
His tone was a little trembling, and his hands were clenched into fists.
When the crowd turned their attention, he felt that his legs were a little weak.
Richard glanced at him appreciatively.
"Of course, there is no need to be nervous. You have completed the task and are heroes of the Twilight City. You will also be rewarded by me."
Phew~
The young man was immediately relieved and his tone was a little higher.
"Master Richard, we have been here for the past few days."
He then elaborated on the experiences of the search and rescue team in the past few days.
Although it seemed to him that it was extremely dangerous and he encountered many powerful field soldiers, to Richard it was just an ordinary encounter and did not contain the information he wanted.
After repeated inquiries, he encouraged the other party and changed to the next searcher team.
Next, each team sent a representative to describe their team's experiences these days.
Richard couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard the end. Because of the weak strength of the explorer team, even if they discovered something unusual, they didn't dare to get close.
Not to mention buildings like temples or one-way portals, not even a few resource points were found.
"Are you sure you haven't encountered any temple-like buildings these days?"
"No." Everyone shook their heads.
"Have you found any territory similar to Twilight City?"
"No." Everyone shook their heads again.
This is strange.
Richard thought for a long time and didn't know what went wrong.
Are there so few lord players in the desert camp? Why is there no player territory around Twilight City?
Or is it that the Desert of Death is too big and spread out widely, and these guys are afraid of death and dare not approach even if they see it from a distance?
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't come up with a reason, so I simply stopped worrying and changed the question.
"Have you found anyone else who was blown away by the sandstorm?"
"Yes!"
Finally there was a response that piqued Richard's interest.
"Where are they? Why not bring them back?"
"This"
The middle-aged man who spoke was a little embarrassed.
"They are in an oasis. They are unwilling to return to the Twilight City with us and want to wait for the people from the Luanwei Flower Merchant Guild to take them away."
Richard's eyes narrowed slightly.
"How many people are there?"
"More than 300 people"
"Is there a map?"
"Please take a look."
The middle-aged man stepped forward, carefully spread a rough map on the table, and pointed at one of the circled points.
"This is it, they have enough water and food, and they don't want to leave"
Feeling a little embarrassed after saying that, they went out to find each other, but they didn't expect to find those people who were unwilling to come back with them.
However, the other party's strategy of waiting for the Luanwei Flower Merchant Guild to come to the rescue is not wrong.
After all, they originally planned to follow the Luanwei Flower Merchant Guild across the Desert of Death.
Compared to a territory that I have never heard of, it is self-evident who is more reliable.
"Aren't those your companions? Why don't they come back with you?"
"Lord, most of the people who followed the Luanwei Flower Merchant Guild were strangers."
Richard understood, and then felt a little playful.
“It’s not surprising that an oasis has water, but what kind of oasis can have enough food to feed hundreds of people?
And it’s been almost two weeks since you were hit by a sandstorm, right? Can you survive this long with leftover food alone? ”
This question made the middle-aged man stunned, and then he shook his head in embarrassment.
"I don't know, they didn't let us in."
He hesitated to speak, and finally struggled to say.
"Lord, they also asked us to take the others back. They said there is no shortage of food and there is no need to stay in the Twilight City. It is safer there."
oh?
These words greatly increased Richard's interest.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
These few hundred people were in a small desert oasis, so they just stayed there and refused to leave.
He also said that he had enough food and even wanted to poach him.
Isn't this a little too abnormal?
"Okay, I know about this. I will go there in person in a few days, and you will lead the way for me."
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
After Richard finished speaking and encouraged the residents, he let them go down to rest.
He originally wanted to give some rewards, but he was embarrassed to find that apart from food, there were only some furs of wild beasts in the warehouse.
There seems to be nothing to offer.
After the crowd left, Richard looked at Karu who had followed the crowd and remained silent at the back.
"Karu, what kind of rewards do you usually use to reward your subordinates?"
Kalu noticed Richard's embarrassment and immediately understood.
He spoke.
"Sir, general rewards can be gold coins, beast furs, or some common medicinal materials and supplies."
"Desert Crown Honey is a precious reward item"
"Those who have made great achievements can be rewarded with honors, such as the title of Twilight City, or some kind of honorary title, or even a certain piece of land."
After hearing this, Richard felt a sudden realization.
That's right, rewards can not only be given in kind, but also spiritual and glorious rewards can be given.
At a low level, material rewards may be required. In the future, if the subordinates reach a higher level and are rewarded with materials, they will undoubtedly be a bit inferior.
In the future, those who have made great achievements can be given the title of Baron of Glory or Earl of Glory.
There is no need to spend money and no real power is given, and it will be more face-saving to speak out
Simply accomplishing multiple things with one stone. (End of chapter)
