As for the reputation of Star Dew Valley Brand organic vegetables,
the common people naturally had no idea about it at all.
They had never even heard of it.
However, speaking of the imperial proclamation recruiting people for farming,
there were quite a few who were informed.
"I have a friend who signed up for it. Although he is very busy, leaving early and returning late every day, his income is quite substantial. Sometimes he can earn several gold coins or even more than ten gold coins in a single day!"
"What?!"
"Hiss... that's too exaggerated, isn't it? It's even more profitable than my business!"
"I also heard about it. Alas, when I first learned that I had to go to some Internet Cafe to learn farming, I thought it was strange, so I didn't go!"
Someone shook their head and regretfully said, "And now, even if I want to go, I still have to sign up and wait in line for a long time. It's truly regrettable when I think about it!"
"I know about this too, but it doesn't seem right. Didn't that imperial proclamation just get posted a few days ago? How could they have already grown crops so quickly?"
"Exactly! Not to mention that our Feiyun Country's land is barren, even with normal cultivation, it shouldn't be this fast, right?"
"Is this so-called new technology really that amazing?"
The managers in charge of selling, seeing that their words had already caused quite a stir among the people, did not explain further, but instead said,
"Since today is the first day of sales, everyone can also have a free taste. Is there anyone willing to try?"
The people looked at each other, somewhat moved.
Because the managers had already personally tasted them before, they were not worried that these ingredients had any problems.
So, one by one, they stepped forward.
They picked the vegetables and fruits they were interested in and began to taste them.
For a moment, crisp "crunching" sounds were heard incessantly.
"Hmm~, what kind of ingredient is this that I'm eating? This taste is... too delicious!"
"Hmm~, mine too, delicious, absolutely delicious!"
Then, they devoured it, showing an intoxicated expression.
"Ouch..."
Someone bit their tongue accidentally because they ate too fast and too eagerly, their mouth full of blood, yet they remained completely absorbed: "The taste of this ingredient is simply incredible!"
At this moment, an eighty-year-old man whose teeth were almost all gone also exclaimed in surprise:
"When I was young, I was fortunate enough to visit those famous gourmet restaurants and taste rare delicacies, but I have never tasted anything so delicious. I feel like my life has been worth it!"
Other people also nodded repeatedly, amazed.
However, since it was a free tasting, the quantity and portions were naturally limited.
This feeling of merely scratching the surface was truly unbearable.
The people who hadn't eaten enough even cast greedy glances at the shelves full of vegetables and fruits, seemingly wanting to snatch them.
However, seeing several martial artist guards standing nearby, they reluctantly withdrew such thoughts.
Then everyone became somewhat anxious.
Someone couldn't help but ask worriedly, "How much do these ingredients cost? They won't be very expensive, will they?"
"Yeah, we don't have money!"
They were well aware that the price of ingredients in Feiyun Country had been consistently high for years, ridiculously expensive.
Even ordinary ingredients felt somewhat unaffordable to them.
Not to mention delicious ingredients like these, bearing the imperial name, wouldn't the price soar to the sky?
"Hehe!"
The managers smiled slightly upon hearing this, pointing to the various vegetables and fruits on the shelves and saying, "This is a tomato, one kilogram costs 3.2 copper coins."
"This is a cucumber, one kilogram costs 3.4 copper coins."
"This is an apple, one kilogram costs 5.5 copper coins."
"This is..."
The managers introduced the names of these vegetables and fruits while also stating their prices.
"This..."
However, the people were already dumbfounded and wide-eyed!
"These ingredients are actually so cheap?"
No, it couldn't even be described as cheap, but rather inexpensive!
The prices were even lower than the unpleasant and stale food they usually ate.
This was simply too incredible.
The managers said loudly, "From today onwards, the shortage of grain and ingredients in Feiyun Country will slowly become a thing of the past. Afterwards, we will continue to introduce more ingredients that are both cheap and delicious for everyone!"
"Of course, since these are the first batch of cultivated ingredients, the quantity is still limited."
"It is only because His Majesty sympathizes with the people's plight and knows that everyone has suffered from famine for many years that he decided to prioritize promotion and implementation in the commoner areas!"
"Those who want to buy should hurry..."
However, before the managers could finish speaking,
the people cheered "Long live His Majesty" and then swarmed forward, scrambling for the ingredients.
It wasn't long before everything was snatched up.
Although the farm's output on the first day was very high,
it was far from enough, not to mention supplying the entire city, but even for the commoner areas.
However, the managers were not worried at all, because they knew that the crops on the farm ripened daily.
Moreover, the scale of cultivation and manpower at the farm were still continuously expanding.
If it wasn't enough today, they would continue tomorrow. If this continued day after day, it would almost be considered an unlimited supply.
It is estimated that it won't be long before Feiyun City no longer lacks food.
And the reputation of Star Dew Valley Brand organic vegetables also began to spread throughout the city from this moment...
...
Before 8 AM.
Outside the Internet Cafe.
Many players had already arrived early.
"What?"
"You mean, as long as your game progress surpasses the boss's, you can get prizes from the boss?"
"And it might even be precious skill equipment from the Game Store?"
"And the boss is going to hold some game event?"
Some players who left early yesterday or didn't come, upon hearing this news, all showed surprised expressions.
But a player immediately shook his head: "But the boss's gaming skills are so amazing, and he's so familiar with the game, it feels too difficult to surpass him!"
However, the informed player smiled and said, "Don't worry, the boss's game progress is very slow this time. He was stuck on the same level as us for a whole day yesterday!"
"Yeah, this shows that the boss isn't very familiar with this game either."
Everyone else was stunned upon hearing this.
Really? Is there a game the boss isn't familiar with?
Many players were still somewhat skeptical about this.
Before long, the Internet Cafe opened.
After the farming players waiting in line went in, they also quickly walked in.
However, they were not in a hurry to get on a computer.
Instead, they secretly walked to the bar, and looked a few times behind Su Ran, who was already playing the game.
Upon seeing this, they were all shocked.
They found that Su Ran's game progress overnight had not only not changed,
but it even seemed to have regressed a bit compared to yesterday. He was still on his way to Xianling Island by boat.
Did he start the game over again?
Instantly, many people's eyebrows lifted in delight, feeling that catching up to the boss was a matter of minutes.
And those players who had been half-believing, half-doubting, also somewhat believed it after seeing the boss's current game progress.
At this moment, they no longer continued to watch Su Ran play, but instead rushed to the next room, started up a computer, and entered the game.
