Qinglin Villa Employees! Need 15,000 Bougainvilleas!

Qin Lin was well aware of the appeal of the seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea grown on Level 3 land.

Beauty +2, Ornamental Value +2, Attractiveness +2. The moment he entered, he was captivated.

Photography +2. This should be a bonus effect for taking photos or videos.

Transplant Survival Rate goes without saying. This was the most useful part for him.

If he wanted to create a bougainvillea sea at Qinglin Villa, he would have to take these bougainvilleas out of the game and successfully transplant them in reality.

These seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea plants were already easy to transplant, and with the Transplant Survival Rate +2 attribute, this was no longer a problem.

Qin Lin exited the game and planned to find a place to bring out a seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea. However, as soon as he left the restroom, he saw a pure-looking girl about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a white shirt and jeans, looking at him warily. "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The girl looked like a high school student, possibly even underage.

Qin Lin was stunned and retorted, "I'm the boss here. Why can't I be here? Who are you, for that matter?"

"You're the new boss?" The girl's face lit up with surprise. "Then will you fire the previous employees?"

"Are you an employee here?" Qin Lin asked instinctively.

This pure-looking girl seemed a bit young; he wasn't sure if she was an adult.

Knowing Qin Lin was the boss, the pure-looking girl seemed to drop her guard. She trotted forward and introduced herself, "Boss, I'm Gao Yaoyao. I was originally in charge of the jungle adventure and rainbow slide ticket sales at the back. Do you still want the old employees?"

So she was indeed an employee of the villa.

Qin Lin looked at Gao Yaoyao and instinctively asked, "Um, are you an adult?"

Gao Yaoyao quickly replied, "Boss, I've already graduated from vocational school. I'm 19 years old. I can show you my ID."

Since she wasn't underage, Qin Lin felt relieved. He thought for a moment and then asked, "How many employees did the villa have originally?"

He did need employees. If the original employees were decent, he could keep them. Someone like the pure-looking girl in front of him was very suitable for the tourism industry. If she had some other talents, she could probably do well in well-known scenic spots.

It was a bit of a waste for her to be a small ticket seller at this little villa.

However, this was also because she was young, had limited experience, and hadn't been contaminated by the comparisons in university. Otherwise, her mind would have wandered, and she wouldn't have thought much of this job.

Gao Yaoyao explained, "Besides me, the ticket seller, there's a security guard, a receptionist, a cashier, and 4 chefs, plus...!"

"Wait, 4 chefs??" Qin Lin was completely baffled.

Did this villa really need 4 chefs?

Most people who came here to play did their own cooking, didn't they?

Gao Yaoyao nodded. "It seems only Master Lin cooks. The other three are one head chef and two sous chefs!"

"Damn it!" Qin Lin was stunned.

He roughly understood what was going on.

This villa was originally a place for a few corrupt officials to indulge in gluttony. The person in charge was a front man, and the head chef and sous chefs were probably also brought in by the front man to collect salaries.

Qin Lin asked again, "Gao Yaoyao, do any of the original employees know carpentry?"

"Master Lin does!" Gao Yaoyao replied. "Besides cooking, he also repairs tables. Many shelves were broken, and Master Lin fixed them."

Qin Lin asked again, "Is there anyone who knows gardening? Like someone with experience in transplanting and caring for plants? I see the villa has quite a few potted plants; there should be someone responsible, right?"

Gao Yaoyao answered again, "Master Lin is also responsible for the vegetable garden and transplanting those potted plants. Um, we sometimes help water them too. Oh, and Master Lin has always wanted to save those two ginkgo trees, but he hasn't succeeded yet."

Qin Lin was astonished.

Why did he feel like this Master Lin was like a beast of burden? He did everything.

Hiring just one employee felt like hiring several.

Qin Lin thought for a moment and asked again, "Gao Yaoyao, do you have the contact information for the previous employees?"

"We have a WeChat group," Gao Yaoyao replied.

Qin Lin decisively said, "Except for the head chef and sous chefs, ask the others if they're willing to continue working, especially Master Lin."

He had to hire employees anyway. It was better to use familiar people than strangers. He could assess their suitability later and hire replacements if they weren't a good fit.

"Boss, Master Lin will definitely be willing, but he'll probably make demands related to those two ginkgo trees. I'll ask the others," Gao Yaoyao immediately showed joy and took out her phone to open WeChat.

Qin Lin asked these questions because of his bougainvillea sea plan. To create a bougainvillea sea, during the transplanting process, he would need a construction team to build some matching fences, stone paths, swings, pavilions... all of which would require supervision.

A moment later, Gao Yaoyao said, "Boss, I've asked. Except for the cashier, who has found a new job, everyone else is willing to continue working. They'll be here tomorrow morning."

"Alright, you can go back now too. Come again tomorrow morning." Qin Lin planned to send Gao Yaoyao away and then bring out a bougainvillea from the game.

"Boss, I actually live in the villa's dormitory and don't rent an apartment in the county town," Gao Yaoyao said immediately. "If you want to see more of the villa, I can give you a tour."

There was no other way. He couldn't bring out the bougainvillea while Gao Yaoyao was at the villa.

Qin Lin had no choice but to give up and leave the villa.

He didn't want his secret to be discovered.

Back in the county town, he first went to a custom sign studio to order a retro-style sign to replace the "Fuhai Villa" sign.

Next, he planned the bougainvillea sea project.

Bougainvillea seas could be scattered or dense. Naturally, the dense type would cost more but would be more stunning and beautiful.

For a dense Bougainvillea Sea of a certain scale to be truly stunning, the area needs to be at least 20 mu. Excluding facilities like stone paths, swings, stone chairs, pavilions, and dedicated viewing platforms, it would require at least 10,000 bougainvillea plants.

Naturally, it's impossible to grow all 10,000 plants using Level 3 land for the seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea. After all, it only yields 25 plants in three days. Getting 5,000 plants would take 600 days, which is no joke.

This type of seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea is only suitable as the main feature. Other bougainvillea will be needed for accent.

If 250 plants of the seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea, each 2.5 meters tall with a 2-meter canopy spread and 12-centimeter main trunk, can be produced per month, that would be enough as the main feature.

Qin Lin remembered that there were lower-level ornamental bougainvillea seedlings in the game. He immediately looked at the light screen in his mind and controlled his game character to visit the seed shop in Miner's Town. He searched and indeed found ordinary ornamental bougainvillea seedlings on Level 2 land, with several different color varieties.

He checked online and found that these ornamental bougainvilleas were also not cheap, costing around 400 yuan each and growing to dozens of centimeters tall.

This was excellent.

Products from the game would surely have attribute bonuses, making their value far exceed 400 yuan.

However, there was one issue: game currency. Both the seven-colored symbiotic and ordinary ornamental seedlings required game currency to purchase.

Qin Lin thought about it and decided to stop growing strawberries on his Level 2 land, using it all to plant ordinary ornamental bougainvillea. He would tell Manager Chen that the strawberries were out of stock.

The okra planted on the newly opened land would continue to be sold in the game to buy seedlings.

However, the ordinary ornamental bougainvillea on Level 2 land could still yield 25 plants per day, with a growth cycle of one day. This would result in over 4,500 ordinary bougainvillea plants per month.

This was still far from the 10,000 plants needed, with over 5,000 still short.

However, with these game-produced bougainvilleas as a base, supplemented by ordinary bougainvilleas from reality around the periphery, it should be fine.

Therefore, he could purchase over 5,000 more ordinary bougainvilleas. This would also help mask things slightly, preventing people from suspecting the origin of those bougainvilleas.

Qin Lin checked online and found that although ordinary bougainvilleas were far inferior to those produced in the game, there were many beautiful and aesthetically pleasing varieties.

After some selection, he found a cultivation base in the city. The price was 30 yuan per plant, so over 5,000 plants would cost just over 150,000 yuan. He only needed to pay a 20% deposit initially.

He went ahead and placed an order for 10,000 plants.

Since he was going to do it, he decided to expand by another 10 mu and make the flower sea larger, using these 10,000 plants to complement the nearly 5,000 game-produced plants.

For a bougainvillea sea of this scale, it would normally cost millions to create. However, he would only spend 300,000 yuan.

Furthermore, others couldn't obtain so many seven-color symbiotic bougainvilleas, let alone have game attribute bonuses.

Once this flower sea was unveiled and well-promoted, it was certain to become a hugely popular attraction in You City and Shacheng.

As long as enough people were attracted, the items grown in the game could be sold directly at the villa.
