Chapter 119: Saint Yuan Vein

Li Shi supported the throne of the city lord with one hand, and looked at the dark crowd in the government affairs hall speechlessly.

These people are all merchants in Seven Star City.

Wei Hong and Yang Luokui followed Li Shi's instructions and kept spreading the news of the establishment of a chamber of commerce in the past few days.

Li Shi once thought that the chamber of commerce could attract many merchants to join.

But he never expected that this number would be so terrifying.

Basically, all the prominent businessmen in Seven Star City gathered in the government affairs hall at the moment, and they were looking eagerly at the moody young governor on the throne.

Li Shi underestimated the enthusiasm of these businessmen and the importance of the Chamber of Commerce to them!

The status of merchants in Xuanhuang Continent is actually almost the same as that of ancient merchants on Earth, they are very low!

By the way, businessmen count pennies and pennies, and use various methods to collect money from the common people, and they are not welcomed by the common people.

By the way, merchants even have more money than nobles, which greatly affects the status of the ruler, and they are not welcomed by nobles.

So in this era, not to mention the establishment of organizations like chambers of commerce to protect businessmen, it would be very polite not to yell at them!

It is estimated that only a traveler like Li Shi can do such a thing as establishing a chamber of commerce.

So upon hearing this news, all the merchants in Seven Star City went crazy, and they desperately rushed to the City Lord's Mansion to hug Li Shi's thick leg.

But Li Shi would not let them have the illusion that the city lord's mansion treats businessmen preferentially, lest they be too arrogant.

So he just said a few words in a casual manner, and then left the government affairs hall, leaving Wei Hong and Yang Luokui to take full responsibility for this headache.

Just after Li Shi returned to the inner mansion, a system prompt sound that he hadn't heard for a long time came from his ear.

"Ding dong! Due to the successful establishment of the chamber of commerce, a branch task is automatically triggered - building the Seven Star City. Task requirements: Increase the popularity of the Seven Star City and its affiliated territories to more than 80%. Task deadline: None."

"Current Seven Star City popularity value: 54963."

I've been waiting for a side mission for a long time, but I didn't expect to give it such a difficult one!

It seems that 80% of the popular opinion value is very simple, but it is not.

The entire Seven Star City, including eighteen towns and more than three hundred villages attached to them, has a total population of close to 300,000.

80% of the popularity value, that is, at least 240,000 people need to have a sense of identity with Li Shi, the city lord.

But let alone agree now, many people in remote areas don't even know that their city lord has changed from Ma Huan to Li Shi.

Therefore, the current popularity value can reach more than 50,000, and there is still a long way to go before 240,000.

Fortunately, there is no task deadline for the side missions, otherwise Li Shiyi really doesn't know how to deal with this mission for a while.

But another more urgent problem arose

Li Shi's Saint Yuan points are not enough again!

The daily expenses of several holy spirit bosses are too huge. He now only has 180 saint yuan points left, and he will not be able to pay the wages of the employees again!

If they really waited until this side mission was completed, the employees would probably starve to death.

This boss is really tiring!

"Meier, besides completing the mission, is there any other way to obtain Saint Yuan points?"

"Unlock all kinds of achievements, kill the most vicious people, eradicate evil monsters, and discover holy yuan mines."

"Wait! What is the Saint Yuan vein?"

"[Sacred Yuan Lode]: In some special geological layers underground, [Sacred Yuan Crystal] will be formed, and such places are collectively called the Holy Yuan Lode."
