After that woman said that, some low-ranking soldiers nearby came to the stands and distributed the spiritual crystals to each of those 50 people.
"Hehehe, this is what I like!" One man said out loud, smiling with satisfaction.
Gaining spiritual crystals that easy was enjoyable for him. However, not all were like that. Some had their doubts about this. After all, there were no free lunches in this world!
'Very strange, I have never seen such a thing as payment in advance...' Some thought about it while looking at the small bags with spiritual crystals delivered by those low-ranking soldiers.
Finally, when she saw that all 50 people had received their crystals, the woman then returned to speak. "Well, now that the payment has been made, let's get down to business..."
"You are here today for an opportunity. The Dry City is paying for each one of you to stay here for two days and get to know the services offered by our city and the advantages of becoming a citizen of this place."
'Huh?' An old man who was sitting in the stands almost let out a cry of surprise. 'Are they paying 50 crystals just to lure us here?'
And not only was he finding this strange, but many of them had strange expressions on their faces. That was just too good to be true!
At the same time, that woman continued her speech. "I know that you must be surprised by this, thinking that all of this is too easy for you to be paid with these 50 crystals."
"But don't get it wrong, it is not only for this that we are paying you. We also need you to talk about your experiences here in the Dry City, of the two days to come, to your friends and acquaintances in the City of Waters."
"So, we're not just giving you crystals, but paying you to advertise in your city."
Upon hearing this, several of them began to relax. Even though it was still effortless for them to do, and 50 crystals was just too much for this type of job, at least they could see that there was work here.
The human mindset was an extraordinary thing. Someone could be very suspicious of something if he received effortless, undeserved money. However, if there were any exchange, even the most absurd, this would not be seen with such uncertainty.
It was as if unconsciously, the human mind was trying to convince itself that a prize was deserved, as long as there was some exchange. Even if this exchange involved something simple, with an absurd payment!
Anyway, many of them were more open after hearing that they were receiving to advertise this place, not just because they came here.
The woman then continued. "However, I must say that you cannot speak to anyone else about this. We want you to speak with only five people who are in the same situation as you. People with White talent, below level 30, unemployed, or in economic difficulty."
"And it must be said that the opportunities in this place will only be valid for those who follow some instructions..." She then started talking about it.
The job of these people was to contact five other people with the characteristics described by that woman, without talking to anyone else, not even their families. They also had to ask the same for those people they spoke not to spread this to anyone else.
After that, all these five people would have to go to one of Minos' soldiers, who were in the City of Waters, to receive further instructions. Like, for example, when they could travel to the Dry City.
Anyway, she finally continued. "Now I'm going to talk about some job opportunities in the Dry City. Well, for starters, the main current occupation here is agriculture. It is straightforward to get a job as a farmer, and the starting salary is 50 low-grade crystals per month."
"But there are other areas as well, such as crystal mining, public cleaning services, civil construction, local commerce, and various informal activities that are also in great demand here. Anyway, our city is constantly growing, so there will be more possibilities in the future."
While listening to this, all of these people were surprised. A salary of 50 crystals a month was a dream for them, but that was very easy to achieve here!
'If it's really like that, then I have to move here!' That was the prevailing thought among them.
"Finally, there are several services in the Dry City for residents, which you will be able to see in these two days. To mention an example, we have the local public library, where any regular citizen of the town can learn techniques of Blue-grade, from cultivation techniques to defense, attack, etc."
"What? Is that really true?" A middle-aged woman who was in the group screamed in surprise.
Upon hearing this, that woman smiled and said. "Hmm, you can ask anybody on the streets of our city about it. Even the kids know about this. There are other attractive services here as well, so try to look for them in the next two days!"
"And to finish, after those two days, when you are going to leave our town, to return to the City of Waters, you will receive some instructions at the south exit of the Dry City."
"In case you want to come back, there will be a day and time for that. Do not disrespect this. Otherwise, we will not receive you!" She finished while she had a severe expression on her face.
After that, those 50 people were very impressed with everything they heard and did not want to wait any longer to get to know the Dry City.
Many of them had doubts if this place really was as good as that woman said, or if it was all just talk...
Therefore, they soon began to explore the bustling central region of Dry City.
There were many services around here, and it wouldn't be difficult for them to find out a bit of the truth of this place. After all, there were people everywhere to talk about these things.
But some of them were interested in that library. People with White talent generally could only dream of having Blue-grade techniques, so this was indeed a fantastic thing for them.
Not only that, a cultivation technique was even more valuable, since it was crucial for people interested in just increasing their life expectancy!
People with White talent generally did not participate in fights since they did not go very far in cultivation. For this reason, specialized battle techniques were not very popular with them.
What could draw the most attention from someone like that were the cultivation techniques.
After all, most people just wanted to live longer, even if they didn't become famous or rich!
Anyway, it didn't take long, and they all spread across the Dry City.
...
While the 50 people in Eden's group knew the reality of the Dry City, the people from the City of Waters in the previous groups had already gone through the same experiences as Eden's group. Some had even left this place to return to their own territory.
Almost all the groups had the same reactions and doubts, but after two days of getting to know the city of Minos, they were all convinced that this was the best place for them.
In Dry City, there were not only jobs for these unemployed people from the City of Waters, but there were also services that they had never heard about in their lives.
Forget about jobs. Just the chance to learn Blue-grade cultivation techniques was enough for many of them to convince themselves to come here. After all, if they were to be unemployed, it would be better if they did it in a place that would give them this kind of opportunity!
Anyway, there were already many attractive things in the current Dry City, such as the fighting arena, the cultivation tower, the rankings that could give a good increase in the income of these people, and the job offers.
Some of them went several weeks without getting a single spiritual crystal in their city, so having so many opportunities here was convincing for them.
And in relation to the fact that other services here are still not as good as those from the place where they came from, as, for example, about the quality of the local cuisine and the offer of products made by specialists, well, it didn't matter for them.
People with White talent generally could not afford to pay for these services, so there was no reason why this would bother them...
These were humble people who did not demand much. Receiving a decent technique and a regular salary already satisfied them completely!
Finally, these people returned to the City of Waters after receiving guidance on when they could move here, at the southern exit of the wall. Each of them was excited about the idea of moving here. Still, they had understood the risks of missing out on this opportunity.
So, they were all more than good at waiting for a while until they did it!
