Xiao'er's worry wasn't groundless. The restaurants and supermarkets in town had been so successful in business recently that they had hired some new people. Despite having a shallow foundation, their family's shop was doing so well that it made others envious. If someone were to take advantage of the hiring process to introduce a few people who could exploit the situation, it was entirely possible.
Xiao'er's worry was resolved by a single sentence from Tian Bai.
"You can process a kind of loyalty powder in the spatial workshop and feed it to them, and then you won't have to worry anymore."
Do the workshops have materials to process? Previously, when she asked the two geese what could be processed in a workspace, they claimed they didn't know. They said that what it can process is random, but once it works, it can be permanently processed.
