"Has the recruitment of the steward ended?"
"I heard that a young girl was eventually selected, personally chosen by the third prince."
"Her parents must also be remarkable people, right?"
"It seems to be from the Milky Way, the specific situation is not clear."
On the commercial street of the capital, groups of people gathered to discuss matters related to the dungeon.
Some people showed a gloating expression.
"I bet, I bet, everyone guess how long the new steward will last?" A little boy sat on a floating carpet, his legs crossed, holding a bamboo tube in his hand.
"Three days!"
"Seven days!"
"I bet half a month!"
"Forever!-" In the crowd, there was a clear voice, and everyone looked down to see a goblin.
It wore a brown horned hat, with curly bangs slightly messy, a youthful face full of vitality, a round nose made it look a little cute.
"Sister won't leave, the third prince will definitely treat her very well." Vivian opened her round eyes and said seriously.
The little boy laughed.
"Vivian, do you understand what forever means?"
"I do, forever is like the moon in the sky, it appears at night. It's eternal and unchanging."
"The moon doesn't exist forever. Hasn't your brother ever told you about the deeds of cosmic monsters? They thrive on light sources, and wherever they go, eternal darkness follows."
Vivian's curly and long eyelashes lifted as she exclaimed, "You're lying! The moon will definitely always be there!"
Saying this, she swiftly grabbed a bright red apple from the nearby stall and took off.
The middle-aged owner of the fruit shop was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly shouted, "You little thief! Put my apple down!"
The young boy flicked a coin from his hand onto the owner's fruit stall.
He said, "Goblins don't steal. How can you call it stealing?"
Xiaoxiao stood by the wishing pool, looking at the floating screen. She brought up the map of the entire underground city.
The exact area is not clearly stated.
There are many places hidden in the darkness waiting to be excavated. The map shows the size of a royal capital, many times larger than the city she previously resided in.
The first thing to be worked on is the railway.
Currently, only two lines are in operation, but according to the map, at least eleven more need to be opened.
She clicked the "commence work" button, and the system immediately processed it.
A chat video appeared on the small screen. Upon connection, a group of dwarfs crowded in front of the camera, raising various building tools.
The grey dwarfs with blue scarves proudly asked, "Your Highness Officer, did you issue the railway construction task?"
"Um, yes," Xiaoxiao asked, "How long will it take?"
The blue-scarved dwarfs proudly claimed, "At most three days!"
They are a tribe specializing in construction, their various foundation-building magical abilities enabling them to rapidly meet their objectives.
Other dwarfs also expressed their desire to participate.
"Your Highness Xiaoxiao, don't hesitate to ask for construction in other places as well!"
"We've been waiting for this day for so long!"
"Ah! Just eleven railway lines will be finished soon! Considering how dangerous it is for you to take a vehicle, should we build a few lighthouses?"
"Lighthouses?"
The grey dwarfs gave Xiaoxiao a wake-up call; the underground city is too dark, and sometimes it's a little scary for a person to be alone. Having light should improve the situation.
She searched for information about lighthouse construction. Currently, the underground city can build large lighthouses in eight locations, so she clicked the "commence work" button, and the lighthouse's task was quickly taken on by the dwarfs.
The system showed that the tasks were accepted by a total of 59 grey dwarfs.
And there are many more grey dwarfs in the underground city, not fully accounted for, at least 2,000 or more. They live in different corners. Xiaoxiao thought she should find a good location to specifically make room for building grey dwarf houses.
On the way back, the slime gave a brief introduction to the other situations in the underground city.
Many are buildings left over from the past. If Xiaoxiao minds, she can completely demolish and rebuild them.
As for other places, they have long been too badly damaged.
Of course, the most rudimentary is the "Prince's Chamber", but it is beyond the construction area and cannot be approached.
In the kitchen, a familiar figure was standing at the door.
The slime ran over, "Lord Roco, Xiaoxiao has been bound with Ineng. She is now a true Officer!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Roco's eyes, but he soon smiled, "It seems that Your Highness has not chosen the wrong person."
Ordinary officers can execute tasks, but only officers truly recognized by Ineng have more rights to act.
His gaze fell on the girl's chest.
There hung an inconspicuous purple crystal necklace, very small, easily overlooked.
Xiaoxiao, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, "Actually, I don't understand what's going on."
That voice suddenly appeared and then vanished.
What was left to her was this necklace.
"I issued two tasks today, eight lighthouses and eleven railways. Lord Roco, do you think this is feasible?" Xiaoxiao asked.
"Correct," Roco praised, "Just assumed office today and solved two major problems. Miss Xiaoxiao, it seems you are very suitable for this job."
He gestured, and the slime immediately drew out a document from under the table.
Xiaoxiao sat down on the sofa, looking at the document that the slime handed to her. It was an employment contract.
This contract specifies the officer's job scope.
The most important part concerns the personal affairs of the Prince and the city's secrets, which must be kept confidential.
Breach of the contract will result in loss of personal freedom.
There are corresponding penalties for making mistakes, but regarding the salary, Xiaoxiao displayed a puzzled expression.
The currency referred to in this document is called the Kalya Star Coin, which comes in silver and gold.
The monthly salary of the official steward is 100,000 gold coins.
It is said that it will increase every year in the future.
"Can these be exchanged for RMB?" This is the most important thing Xiao Xiao wants to know.
"We do not currently provide this service," Luo Ke said with a smile. "However, you can use the gold coins to purchase products here and resell them. They should fetch a good price. And in the Kalia Empire, there are many things that can be purchased with gold coins. You will like it here."
Slime also added, "I checked, according to the exchange rate, Xiao Xiao, your monthly salary is equivalent to 300,000 RMB!"
- Three hundred thousand!
Xiao Xiao was stunned!
As an ordinary college student, after graduating, the job will probably be translation, training, and the like. She never thought she could find a job that could earn 300,000 a month.
In an instant, she saw a lot of money falling from the sky...
The old house at home will soon be inundated with these gold coins.
Ah! Yes!
She hurriedly asked, "Are these gold coins given directly to me?"
If stored in a bag, 100,000 gold coins would be as high as a mountain!
Luo Ke answered, "It is all deposited in your personal account. When needed, you can withdraw it directly. Large transactions can be handled with virtual data, and I believe your technology should already have this capability."
Earth is a magic-free plane.
But technology is thriving.
The middle-aged man placed the chip in his hand on the coffee table and said gently, "Miss Xiao Xiao, this is your exclusive chip, equivalent to an interstellar passport, please keep it safe."
Personal chips are very valuable.
People from other planets dream of settling here, but the conditions are very strict.
Being a steward can help them get it for free, and this was specifically instructed by the king.
With the ID, Xiao Xiao can move freely in the empire without any hindrance.
When necessary, she can seek help from any army.
As a royal steward, her position is quite high.
