"Creak!" The door of the conference hall opened gently.

The person who walked through the door was Xu Zhiyu. He had just gone out to the market and informed his grandfather about the foundation-building talisman.

Of course, because the matter was serious, he didn't make it too clear in the communication talisman. He just mentioned it vaguely, believing that his grandfather would understand.

The main reason for this is that the Baiyi Sect set a trap for the family last time, which made people have to be wary. You must know that the general communication talismans used by the Xu family to convey messages can be intercepted by Jin Dan's methods. High-level communication talismans are too expensive, so they will not be used unless there is an emergency.

In fact, if possible, he thought it would be best for the Xu family to own a 'Wanli Travel Instrument' that Shopkeeper Xi had in his hands, which could communicate spiritually across millions of miles. However, just thinking about it, that thing was different. He said that the family couldn't afford it, and even if he bought it, it would probably only be left to gather dust in the family's treasure house, because the family basically had no access to high-grade spiritual stones.

In fact, after he came out of Shopkeeper Xi's room last time, he asked Wan Lao again to see if there was any magic weapon that could transmit messages freely within a range of thousands of miles and at the same time maintain confidentiality. The final result disappointed him.

According to Wan Lao, this kind of magic weapon does exist, but its grade is not lower than the fourth level. This is because refining this kind of magic weapon requires the use of a fourth-level weapon refining material called the 'Near End of the World Stone' , this material exists in very small quantities. I would like to ask the monks who got this rare material, they must regard it as a treasure, how can they use it to refine ordinary magic weapons? Isn't that a waste of natural resources? No monk would do that.

"Brother Nineteen!" The conference hall was not empty, but four people were sitting there. They were Xu Zhifeng, who was in charge of the city, Xu Zhixin, who was in charge of the refining and supply of magic weapons, Xu Zhinan, who was in charge of the security of the city, and Xu Zhifeng, who was assisting the city. Xu Zhijuan, who manages Fangshi. After he stepped into the door, everyone said hello in unison.

"Yes!" He sat down at the main seat and glanced around the brothers and sisters. Finally, his eyes fell on the first row to his left.

"Zhifeng, I've seen you looking at this storage bag since you walked in. I want to share with you what's in it!"

After hearing this, Xu Zhifeng took his consciousness back to the sea of ​​​​consciousness, smiled slightly and said:

"To tell you the truth, this is the prize pool that countless monks who have purchased the 'Meteor Ticket' have been dreaming about. It is filled with spiritual stones. Can you guess how many are in it?"

Seeing his clan brother's eyes falling on him, Xu Zhixin smiled knowingly and guessed:
  "At the end of last month, there were over 100,000 spirit stones in the prize pool. This month, three more batches were sold, and there was no first prize. So I guess, the number of spirit stones in the prize pool now should be no less than 10,000. Fifty thousand spiritual stones.”

"Now the streets and alleys are discussing our Xu family's 'Meteor Ticket', and more and more people are buying it. I guess there are 160,000 spirit stones." Xu Zhinan said.

"What about you, Zhijuan? What are your guesses?"

Looking at Xu Zhijuan who had been silent, Xu Zhifeng asked, since the "Meteor Ticket" came out, he is the most active and excited one.

"I guess there are two hundred thousand spirit stones!"

"Can't you? Thirty-third sister, how can there be so many? There are only more than 30,000 monks in the city, and more than half of them are reluctant to spend spiritual stones to buy 'Meteor Tickets'. It's impossible to count them up like this. Will you sell so many bets?" Xu Zhinan felt it was impossible.

"Sister clan, don't forget that some monks buy 'Meteor Tickets' and make several or dozens of bets at a time. It is possible that there will be 200,000 spirit stones in the prize pool."

Xu Zhixin, who knew clan sister Xu Zhijuan, changed his tone. He knew that something might have happened that they didn't know about, because she was now in charge of the Fangshi escort team and secret guards, and any disturbance in Fangshi could not be hidden from her eyes.

This thought also lingered in the minds of Xu Zhiyu and Xu Zhifeng, so now everyone's eyes fell on her again, waiting for answers to questions.

"Five days ago, many strange monks suddenly came to Fang City. The secret guards immediately reported the news to me. According to their indirect investigation, they found that these people were casual monks from nearby counties and monks from small families. , are all interested in our family’s newly launched ‘Meteor Tickets’, and I heard that a lot of them have been purchased. And this trend is still increasing, causing the supply of inn housing in every city to exceed demand.”

Xu Zhijuan explained the reason for her judgment. These monks who came all the way to join in the fun were often more generous with their actions.

"Okay, stop looking at me, I won't guess anymore! Reveal the answer quickly, haven't you noticed that everyone is looking at you eagerly?" Xu Zhiyu laughed and cursed as he looked at his clan brother whose eyes were on him.

"Okay, then I will announce it. The total number of spiritual stones in the prize pool is now 211,300 yuan!"

After Xu Zhifeng finished speaking, he was ready to take a look at the shocked expressions on the faces of the tribesmen, but he did not expect that no one would cooperate at all. This was mainly because Xu Zhijuan had already leaked part of the information just now, so that everyone could be mentally prepared.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Xu Zhixin, the youngest, began to change the topic:

"Strange! It stands to reason that meteors can be seen everywhere in the sky. Why don't other cities follow our Xu family's example and issue gambling products such as 'Meteor Tickets'? So that it makes those living in their cities The casual cultivators here traveled thousands of miles to come to us and gave us spiritual stones for free?"

After hearing this question, both Xu Zhinan and Xu Zhinan began to think carefully, as if they didn't understand the problem. Only Xu Zhiyu looked at each other and smiled calmly.

"Let me answer this question for you! In fact, after the family's 'Meteor Ticket' was issued and they made a lot of spiritual stones, the shopkeepers of other forces who opened shops in Fangshi reported everything that happened here, as well as our Xu family's information about the 'Meteor Ticket' All the rules were sent to the headquarters of the respective forces, and immediately some forces began to imitate the family and issue various 'tickets', but all failed without exception!" Xu Zhifeng explained with a smile.

"How is that possible? I feel like the whole process is very simple! You can't even imitate it?"

"Haha, Zhixin! Not every force is willing to make those processes as transparent as our Xu family. Their main purpose is to make money, and they can be said to do whatever they can. The casual cultivators are not stupid either. , after seeing this situation, fewer and fewer people are willing to choose to believe in them, and gradually no one cares about the various 'tickets' they issue.

Another factor in their failure was that they didn't think about it in advance. Although they used turquoise as the raw material for making the 'Meteor Tickets', they didn't have the special materials that Brother Nineteen got from Taiyang Tower to use as anti-counterfeiting marks, which resulted in many problems. The young man made a fake and was defrauded of a lot of bonuses. In desperation, he could only stop it temporarily. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhijuan continued to explain:
  "There is another reason that is also very important, that is, according to the casual cultivators who came to Fang City recently, although the meteor shower can also be seen in Biejiafang City, it is not as clear as ours in Xujiafang City. The conditions are unique.

Think about it, if you encounter this situation, how should you calculate the number of meteors? If the calculation is too low, the monk who buys more will not agree. If it is too much, the monk who buys less will not agree. This leads to disputes every time the lottery is drawn. . ” ˆ ˆ “That’s why many monks came to our city, right, Sister Thirty-Third?” "Xu Zhinan finally answered.

"Yes, now the monks attracted to Fang City, in addition to those from several nearby counties, gradually even monks from outside Jincheng Mansion have come to settle down." She paused here and took a look. Everyone circled around and continued:
  "In view of the current situation of Fang City, I suggest that a few of us jointly submit suggestions to the family to expand Fang City again. What do you think?"

To be honest, the normal development of a city, from small to large, upgrading spiritual veins, and expanding its scale, takes hundreds or even hundreds of years. However, the Xu family's Taoyuan City obviously does not conform to this law. After it was established A few years later, it underwent an expansion, and the last expansion was only more than ten years ago. There are too many reasons involved. There is the settlement of Taiyang Tower, the hard work of the Xu family, and the superior geographical location.

After hearing Xu Zhijuan's proposal, everyone was considering the feasibility. In the end, Xu Zhiyu felt that the matter should not be rushed and should wait for a while, just in case those casual cultivators who came for the 'Meteor Ticket' were just looking for something new and would wait until the game After getting tired, did they all go back?

Then it is not appropriate to rush to expand Fang City. You must know that the expansion of Fang City involves the upgrade of spiritual veins, the upgrade of the guardian formation, and the planning of the newly expanded area. Each of these must be carefully considered. Thinking about it, it is impossible to make a decision just by slapping your forehead.

Seeing that his brothers and sisters were not very interested, he smiled and said:

"Don't be like this, you have to eat one bite at a time and walk step by step. Just watch, the family market will develop better and better!
  Okay, let me tell you another piece of good news. In view of the great success of the ‘Meteor Ticket’ we launched, I have already reported to the family that all clan members who perform tasks in Fang City will have their salaries increased by 20%. "

"Really? Thank you, Brother Nineteen!" As soon as they heard about the salary increase, the little emotions just now were forgotten long ago, and everyone said with a smile.

"Don't thank me in a hurry. What if the family rejects it?" Xu Zhiyu joked.

"Hey, how is that possible? If I and several clan brothers and sisters reported it, the clan leader might reject it, but Brother Nineteenth, it's different for you, the clan will definitely approve it!"

"You kid!" He pointed at Xu Zhixin and cursed with a smile.

After talking and laughing for a while, Xu Zhijuan and Xu Zhinan, who were busy, left first.

"Brother, there are not many special materials for refining the 'Meteor Card'. Please get me some more!"

Xu Zhiyu handed the jade box containing the materials to his clan brother and sternly warned:

"It has been prepared for you, take it! Remember, these materials can only be kept by you alone. When the family's first-level weapon refiner refines the blank 'Meteor Card', you must be extremely cautious and never allow anyone to keep it privately." Hiding this thing, do you understand?”

"I understand, Brother Nineteen, I will never let a mouse excrement ruin a pot of soup. The 'Meteor Ticket' is related to our Xu family's millennium foundation. I will definitely check it carefully. If something goes wrong, I will go to the ancestor in person to receive the punishment!" Xu Zhixin said confidently.

Looking at the clan brother who turned to leave, Xu Zhifeng, who was standing behind him, hesitated to speak several times.

"If you have something to say, just say it, don't hesitate!"

"Brother Nineteen, I want to say, is it appropriate for us to guard against clan members like we guard against thieves?"

"What's inappropriate? We just have to resolutely prevent the clan members from making mistakes through the system. This is also for their own good. Otherwise, when the matter is exposed, the problem will be big. Have you forgotten Xu Zhiqi's lesson?"

"But such scum are in the minority after all, and most of the clan members are good!"

Xu Zhifeng argued that he found that although the clan brother in front of him was smart and wise in making money, which he greatly admired, he sometimes seemed unreasonable.

"Really? Then how do you explain Xu Zhihui's matter? If it hadn't been traced in time, not to mention how much loss the family would have suffered, even the issuance of 'Meteor Tickets' might have been affected. The collapse of trust might have happened in an instant. !”

Hearing him mention this matter, Xu Zhifeng fell silent again. As the person in charge of catching the 'Meteor Ticket', he was very clear about the causes and consequences of this matter.

Xu Zhihui, ranked 70th in the family Zhizi generation, is considered one of the lowest ranked Zhizi clan members. She has four spiritual roots and poor qualifications. However, thanks to the increase in family salary, she has also reached the late stage of Qi training.

She was one of the first batch of people to receive training and became the family's window person for selling the 'Meteor Card'. During the sales process, she discovered a loophole, and then she began to harm the public and enrich herself.

It turns out that every time during the sales process, she would secretly hide a blank card without numbers on it while others were not paying attention, and then wait until the meteor shower was over to engrave the corresponding numbers on it. Then when someone comes to redeem the prize, she will offer to help, then go to the side room, put the card that has been prepared to verify the authenticity into the corresponding drawer, and then take it out.

Of course, she would not redeem the prizes herself. She usually found someone else to collect the prizes on her behalf. When someone asked her, she said that she also liked to buy ‘Meteor Tickets’. Since they were all members of the tribe, no one doubted her.

But if you walk too much at night, you will inevitably encounter ghosts!
  Think about it, although she successfully forged the winning 'Meteor Ticket', don't forget that the small light curtain on the counter and the large light curtain outside the building are integrated. The sales status was clearly marked. Because her lottery ticket was counterfeited afterwards, it was not displayed on the big light screen, which was not accurate.

Of course, at first, no one cared about it, thinking that the tribesman who sold it was careless and did not record it. However, this unusual thing was discovered and noticed by Xu Zhiyu. In the end, someone took away the stolen goods and Xu Zhihui was fined for three years. salary, and at the same time transferred him away from Fangshi.

"Zhifeng, you have to remember one thing, that is, the system is always more reliable than people! In the final analysis, this matter is because the system is not perfect enough. In the future, you must remember that the clan members who sell the 'Meteor Tickets' cannot be fixed, and everyone must It’s our turn, and we should learn from the lesson, and place a ‘picture stone’ behind every window, so that if something happens, there will be a basis for investigation!”

Looking at his clan brother who was in a daze, Xu Zhiyu patted him on the shoulder, turned and left the conference hall.
