Although the branch's requirements were stringent, Su Yao was still willing to work hard for it.

Because in the depths of her mind, Su Yao sensed that exploring the underwater world required a large amount of gold coins.

Currently, none of the system's tasks are without value. There's the underwater world, and with the map of the underwater world, her next step is definitely to go there. Moreover, the system has provided the currency of the sea in advance, which proves that the sea pearls are extremely important.

Currently, the underwater clam pearls can only be accumulated through tasks, but Su Yao looked at the gold coins in her hand and had a feeling that in the future, gold coins might also be exchanged for underwater clam pearls... just waiting for the system to continue opening tasks and permissions.

Anyway, no matter what, she must open this branch!

"Mayors, let's not talk about anything else for now, just the matter of deliveries. Uneven roads are the biggest hassle for delivering goods everywhere. I can't rely solely on this war star for deliveries; it has other tasks at the inn."

Leopold was very disappointed after being rejected, but upon hearing Su Yao's explanation, he immediately regretted it and slapped his forehead, "That's exactly it, I was really too hasty. I was thinking about eating the meat before there were even any eggs!"

"However, building roads is not a problem," another mayor continued. "I think the road in front of the hotel is really good, both smooth and clean, even better than a stone road. Starting with road construction wouldn't be bad either; it might take some time, but it's all beneficial!"

Although he arrived on a flying cloud, he still noticed the unusual black surface at the entrance of the inn.

The weather was scorching, yet he still pressed his hands firmly against the road to feel it, despite the heat. He couldn't imagine how happy people would be if their city had roads like this!

"To be honest, I've been eyeing this path for a long time."

As soon as these words were spoken, they received the agreement of many people.

"I just wonder if this road will be difficult to build? Master, do you think we can construct it? We have manpower, we have minerals..."

"The materials for this road are a bit troublesome, but not too troublesome." Su Yao looked at the mayors whose expressions kept changing with her words and raised her hand, "Manpower is the greatest resource, unity is strength!"

[Task Release: Assist in the construction of roads in major southern cities.]

[Since cement road fragments can only be synthesized inside the hotel, all materials collected by personnel outside the hotel will be replaced with cement, just like ordinary cement in the real world.]

[This task is a beneficial one for the people, so the system is willing to provide a random doubling buff. From this moment on, until the task is completed, any cement or cement road fragments handled by the host will be randomly doubled.]

The things inside the hotel still somewhat exceeded the rules of this world. To ensure the world's rules remained consistent, the system patched this loophole in another way.

It's just that... Su Yao couldn't help but stare blankly. This system really likes to gamble on luck!

If it weren't for Felix by her side, she would have really dissed the system!

After the system released the task, Su Yao also set her plan for the upcoming steps.

"Then let's start by building roads." Su Yao praised the mayors' idea and imparted a wise saying to them, "If you want to get rich, build roads first. To change the overall spirit of the South, we must begin with road construction!"

The mayors were taken aback and immediately followed Su Yao's train of thought to start making arrangements.

Taking advantage of everyone being present, making communication convenient, the mayors wasted no time and discussed a broad outline for all future matters.

"Building roads is the first step, and where we build them is crucial. I suggest connecting the roads of all our cities."

The area was too large, making it impossible to turn all the roads into concrete ones in a short period of time. Therefore, they had to prioritize, selecting the most important roads first, and these roads had to be connected, allowing for links with other cities as well.

"There is also the manpower issue. We can hire the mages, employ them to go to various places to fight swamp monsters and obtain cement. As for ordinary people, they can work too. I think the master mentioned that turning cement into a cement floor requires an additional step. This step, I believe, is best left to ordinary people, since what we have in abundance is ordinary people."

Su Yao clearly explained the construction process of the cement ground, and the mayors immediately divided it into two parts.

A part of it involves fighting monsters; all the ghosts and beasts with "swamp" in their names have a chance to drop cement. However, since their level is not too low, ordinary people can't handle them and have to leave it to the mages.

However, the latter task can be done by ordinary people. It's labor-intensive work, and as long as the pay is right, there will definitely be no shortage of workers.

Su Yao printed out dozens of southern maps with gold coins and handed them to the mayors.

The mayors once again saw something good here, their eyes wide open, fingers carefully stroking, "Good stuff! Really good stuff!"

"I've never seen such a colorful map before; the mountains, rivers, and cities are all clearly visible on it. Why didn't we think of using colors and symbols to make maps?"

"Hahaha, it's not too late to know now. When I get back, I'll have my subordinates find a few good artists to make some copies of this!"

"With the map, our road planning has become easier. I'll go first. In Zheng City, we want to build the main road in the very center of the city. This road runs north to south, connecting to Liuhe City in the north and Qingshui City in the south!"

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"Alright, my route through Liuhe City happens to go in the same direction. I'll join you, and then we'll take this folk road through the city, heading towards Goat Head City."

"Ah, there's a moat around our city, and there's a big river inside the city as well... This road is not easy to travel..."

"Idiot, a river is a waterway. Your cement road won't just be built here and then take a turn to connect with the waterway. That way, everything would be convenient!"

"That makes sense! Thank you for the idea, big brother!"

After more than a day of discussions, Su Yao and the mayors, apart from drinking water and using the restroom, did not take a single break. Finally, as night fell, they had all the roads planned out.

"The specific situation can only be determined after an on-site investigation. If there are any changes, the mayors will have to find ways to communicate and exchange more."

[After testing, the southern route planning is complete, with a maturity level of 50%. Congratulations to the host for obtaining "The Complete Guide to Road Construction" *20.]

[Work together to build roads, and exchanges between various southern regions begin to deepen. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the method to create communication cards.]

[Communication Card Making Method:

The materials required for each communication card are as follows:

Mechanical Card*1, Magic Ore*1, Communication Antenna*3, Text Shrinking Treasury*1.

[Communication Antenna: From a Tier 3 Beast Communication Bird. This bird lives in the southwestern mountainous regions, with a 30% chance of obtaining a communication antenna from it.]

[Text Reduction Treasury: From the Level Six Evil Spirit Nagging Mosquito. This mosquito is only found on the easternmost side of the Misty Forest and the eastern side of the continent's southernmost end. Although the evil spirit is difficult to kill, the probability of obtaining the Text Reduction Treasury is 19%.]

Su Yao discovered another secret of the system: it seemed to highly praise initiatives that encouraged the improvement of people's livelihoods. Just by building a road, good things kept coming one after another.

"Could it be that I've really gotten the script to dominate the Longyin Continent?" The Water Avoidance Pearl was still in her hand.

The system did not answer Su Yao's question but instead chose to let her draw cards: [I've gathered enough for ten card draws again, this time I can get the guaranteed level five.]

Since winter began, Su Yao had fewer opportunities to draw cards, mostly receiving rewards like inn decorations, personal decorations, and food items. Moreover, she frequently used communication cards and defense cards, which she had set to draw these specific cards. So, even though she had completed 110 card draws, the good items in her possession hadn't increased much.

"This time, we're not setting a course."

Although Su Yao had confirmed the number of times, she still did not continue to set the course without the premise of lacking specific things.

Last time, she suffered a big loss, so Su Yao vowed to make fewer predictions! Anyway, with her lucky charm by her side now, she could draw cards and have her wishes come true!

The system remained silent, and the more Su Yao thought about it, the angrier she became.

She hadn't expected that when there was a conflict between the fixed track and the guaranteed bottom, the system would automatically default to the fixed track!

Su Yao didn't keep staring at the number of card draws. She wanted to set a track, so she let the system draw a card for her. However, she didn't expect that when it was time for the guaranteed draw, the system would quietly hide this fact and directly use the opportunity that should have been a five-star guarantee to set a track and draw a four-star communication card!

[Please confirm the card draw, host.]

"Changing the subject again!"

[Compensation has been given to the host, please do not dwell excessively on past matters. (Kneeling and admitting fault.jpg)]

The system text was rigid, while the emojis were soft, leaving Su Yao at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"You are truly becoming more and more intelligent." It's unclear whether it's the big data doing such a good job or if it has mutated.

"Draw a card."

Ten opportunities fed in, brilliance burst forth.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 3 Food Card: Orange Tree.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 4 Treasure Hunt Card: This card is limited to seeking treasures in sunken ships at the bottom of the sea.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 4 Translation Card: Communication is key, a one-time-use card, valid for 72 hours.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 3 Clothing Card: A Pretty Little Dress~]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 4 Blueprint Card: One Weapon Shop Blueprint. With a branch store, the weapon shop shouldn't be far off either. Let's store the blueprint for now.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 4 Mechanical Card*1.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 3 #○× Level 4 Mist Card: works better with the dense fog of the Misty Forest.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 3# ○× Level 4 Strong Card: Quickly triples your strength value, truly making you strong! (Note: This card has a side effect, the user will temporarily have a "Strong Mom" hairstyle.)]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 3 Bald Card: Just from the name, you can tell this card isn't anything good, but it might be quite effective when used on an enemy, or it can be paired with the side effects of the Strong Card, allowing you to avoid social death!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 5 Employee Card *1.]

At first glance, Su Yao noticed the bald card.

Truly vicious!

A brief moment of social embarrassment with Zhuangzhuang's mom's hairstyle, or a long period of baldness, she knew which one to choose!
