Black Rabbit's utterly miserable wails quickly spread throughout No Name's territory.
The children playing in the backyard, Kanroji Mitsuri rebuilding her home in the front yard ruins, and Akame and others who had just arrived today all heard the sound and came to watch.
After understanding what had happened, everyone looked at Lin Que with horror.
Making Black Rabbit solely responsible for all the preparations for a large festival—who would even think of such a thing?
"Um… Black Rabbit, how about we help too?"
The fox-eared loli, Lili, helped Black Rabbit, who was kneeling on the ground, onto a nearby sofa and spoke.
"Although we're a bit weaker in strength, we can certainly help with purchasing or moving things."
"No, Lili, you can't."
Due to her frequent role as an MC in various Communities, Black Rabbit knew perfectly well just how troublesome this matter was.
"Even with the older children, there's still too much of a manpower shortage."
There were a total of more than twenty older children.
In addition, even counting Leticia, Kanroji Mitsuri, and Akame, the total number was less than forty.
With so few people, it was simply impossible to host a Harvest Festival.
But to give up just like that, Black Rabbit was also unwilling.
After digesting the spoils from Perseus, No Name had already mastered the methods for mass-producing invisible helmets and flying greaves.
Coupled with the Three-Color Haki cultivation method, the Breathing Style, and the Imperial Arms that Lin Que told her about today.
No Name now had several channels for accumulating wealth, just waiting to make a name for itself.
And hosting the Toli Tunis Great Falls Harvest Festival was just such an opportunity.
Not only could they set up a temporary shop at the Harvest Festival for initial publicity,
if they could successfully host it and spread No Name's reputation, it could attract more people to buy.
With such a good opportunity right in front of her, Black Rabbit, who wanted to revive No Name, naturally wasn't willing to give up.
On the other side, seeing Black Rabbit deep in thought, Lili came up to Lin Que and asked,
"Brother Lin Que, isn't there a good solution?"
"There is a way, actually."
Picking up Lili and placing her on his lap, Lin Que stroked her head and replied with a smile.
"If there aren't enough people, just recruit some help."
He had, after all, cleared three worlds; with a little integral, he could pull people from other worlds to work.
"Recruit people? That is a way to solve the problem."
Black Rabbit, who was beside him, thought for a moment: "But recruiting a large number of people in a short time can easily lead to inconsistent personnel quality."
Strength was secondary, as No Name currently relied on Lin Que and a few others.
The real trouble would be if malicious individuals or those with poor character mixed in.
Without careful attention, No Name's reputation could easily be damaged, or even property losses could occur.
Black Rabbit, unaware that Lin Que could quickly recruit a wave of trustworthy temporary workers, remained silent for a moment before offering a suggestion.
"How about we hire some temporary workers with money?"
"Although it might cause financial problems, everything will be recouped as long as the event is successfully held."
"As for the arrangement of some key areas, we can ask our former allies for help."
"Out of respect for Lin Que and Leticia, they probably won't refuse, though we'll owe them a favor."
"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome."
Bai Xue Ji, who had been silent in the distance, raised her hand to signal at this moment.
"I can help find people to work, for free, and it's a good way to repay favors."
"Huh? Isn't this… Bai Xue Ji?"
Black Rabbit then noticed there was an extra person in the Community: "Why have you come to No Name?"
Bai Xue Ji: "?"
Why did it feel like this rabbit was about to call her by a very rude title just now?
Narrowing her eyes and looking at the other party, Bai Xue Ji replied: "I was asked by White Yasha to join No Name and work with you all."
"Bai Xue Ji, you're joining No Name?!"
Black Rabbit's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something: "Excuse me, Bai Xue Ji, your identity as the Lord of the Tory Tunis Falls…"
"It's still there."
Seemingly knowing what Black Rabbit wanted to ask, Bai Xue Ji replied: "In fact, that's what I was going to say just now."
"Although I've been sleeping a lot and don't have many acquaintances,"
"Recently, a group of water spirits moved near the Tory Tunis Falls and have been interacting with me."
"As long as a suitable living place is prepared for them after the base is established, it can serve as compensation for their free labor. ...…"
"As for their numbers… if all of them are counted, it should be enough to gather about four hundred people."
"That's enough!"
Black Rabbit jumped up excitedly: "There are still more than twenty days until the festival begins; if we start preparing now, there's more than enough time to complete the arrangements."
"Now, the only thing we need to consider is the Gift Games."
As the host, No-Name naturally had to organize Gift Games.
For the scale of the Toli Tunis Great Falls Harvest Festival, No-Name needed to prepare at least five Gift Games.
These would be opened sequentially at fixed times in different periods, allowing guests attending the festival to sign up.
"Regarding the Gift Games, I can take responsibility for two of them."
Bai Xue Ji spoke again, "In the past, the Toli Tunis Great Falls Harvest Festival was jointly organized by the Outer Gates nearby, and as the master there, I usually handled the opening and closing."
"As long as you design the three Gift Games in the middle, there won't be any problems."
"That's great! The workload just got lighter again!"
Black Rabbit's voice gradually became cheerful, "As expected of the support personnel sent by White Yasha, I'm starting to see you in a new light!"
Bai Xue Ji: "?"
So how exactly did you see me before?
"In any case, there are still three Gift Games left to prepare!"
Noticing Bai Xue Ji's strange gaze, Black Rabbit also realized at this moment that she had said the wrong thing.
To change the subject, her gaze turned to her own leader, who had been slacking off.
"Lin Que, quickly think of a solution!"
Hugging Lin Que's right arm, Black Rabbit instantly pressed herself against him.
"You're the leader! It's time to do something serious!"
Lin Que: "?"
When did this rabbit learn this move?
Feeling the comfortable sensation from his arm, Lin Que narrowed his eyes and stroked her head.
"Well~ since you've said so, then leave the remaining three Gift Games to me. You can focus on preparing for the festival."
"Yay!"
Black Rabbit jumped up happily.
As expected of the move taught by Leticia, it's really effective!
