Chapter 215: Chapter 214: The Status of the Various Work Groups
Qi Yue licked her lips. "Thank you for the reward, My Lord."
"You’re welcome. You should get some rest, too."
Qi Yue shook her head. "Sister Gu Qing said this place is very important and that we should give our work everything we’ve got. I’m going to go back to chopping down trees now."
’So Gu Qing had told them that.’
"If you need anything, you can come find me anytime. I’ll be in the Tailor’s Shop."
"Okay, thank you, My Lord."
Qi Yue gave him a sweet smile and walked over to the thickest nearby tree.
As Zhao Chi was watching her walk away, he suddenly heard the squeal of wild boars.
Gu Qing and Yang Lu’s Hunting Team appeared beside him in a flash.
They were leading eight wild boars, all bound with Spider Silk.
Two large and six small—a whole family of them.
They all drew small daggers and made a few light cuts on the silk strands. The strands snapped, and the wild boars were freed.
Seven of the boars ran off into the woods, but the largest one let out an angry snort.
It was clearly not happy.
It then charged toward Yang Lu and the others.
Gu Qing stepped forward and sent it flying with a kick.
After landing, the wild boar was clearly dazed for a moment.
As if in disbelief, it charged again, this time aiming for Gu Qing.
BAM!
Another kick.
The wild boar was once again sent flying onto its back.
This time, it finally understood who was boss and ran off, squealing.
’Gu Qing’s kicks are pretty powerful.’
’And she’s only wearing Ordinary Leather Boots.’
’If I made her a pair of High Heels that boosted foot Attack, she might have kicked that boar to death.’
’Perhaps the foot Attack Attribute from High Heels is more powerful than I imagined.’
When Gu Qing saw Zhao Chi, she came over.
She didn’t care that Yang Lu and the others were standing right there.
She threw her arms around Zhao Chi and gave him a big, loud kiss.
The small cut on Zhao Chi’s hand healed in an instant.
"My Lord, do you have any instructions for us?"
Gu Qing gazed at Zhao Chi, her eyes full of affection.
"No instructions. Today’s the first day that new villagers are arriving in Penglai Village, so I wanted to come and see."
Gu Qing nodded. "Are the residents here the same as the ones over there?"
"They’re the same."
"That’s good. That means we’ll have a total of 200 people as of today."
Just as she said that, the ground trembled slightly.
"My Lord, they’re here."
Gu Qing took a step back.
This was a scene Zhao Chi had grown accustomed to.
Twenty fair, delicate arms reached out from the ground, followed by heads, upper bodies, waists, hips, and long legs.
Soon, ten small holes were left in the ground.
The ten newly arrived women looked around, bewildered.
Upon seeing Zhao Chi, they all immediately greeted him.
Zhao Chi responded to each of them in turn.
Then he took a closer look at them.
Their Heights varied slightly; the tallest were around five-foot-seven, while the shortest were about five-foot-three.
Their figures were all different, too.
Some were slender, while others were full and curvaceous.
But without exception, they were all attractive, with fair, delicate skin, slender waists, and long legs.
He then checked their information panels.
All their Attributes were at 6 points, and their Loyalty was at 6 points as well.
There was no difference between them and the women who arrived daily in Peach Blossom Village.
Zhao Chi said, "Gu Qing, take them to get a bath and something to eat."
Gu Qing smiled. "I have to wait a little while before I can head over."
Zhao Chi nodded and called out to Qi Yue, "Qi Yue, take a break and lead them to the bath and to get some food."
Qi Yue was halfway through chopping down a tree.
Hearing Zhao Chi’s order, she immediately used Continuous Dance twice in a row.
CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP!
CRASH!
A large tree came crashing down in an instant.
Wiping the sweat from her brow, Qi Yue ran over. "Everyone, follow me. We’re going to another area."
The women, still unfamiliar with the process, teleported away one by one.
Zhao Chi had granted teleportation permissions to all of his subordinates.
Thus, these new female villagers automatically gained the ability to teleport to Peach Blossom Village.
Zhao Chi then returned to Peach Blossom Village as well.
The 20 new female villagers had all entered the Carefree Spring.
They soaked in the water, surprised and happy. As time passed, their Mood improved significantly.
Zhao Chi squatted by the edge of the spring and assigned a profession to each of them.
Before heading to the Tailor’s Shop, Zhao Chi visited the various workshops.
He issued new work directives to each of the Work Group Leaders.
After making his rounds.
The State of every work group member was quite good.
Despite the long working hours, everyone was happy thanks to the Carefree Spring’s +50% Mood bonus and their high Loyalty.
There were no complaints.
[Average Mood] was between 123% and 155%.
The lowest Mood was in the Smelting Workshop, the Oil Refining Workshop, and the mine, which made sense given that they had the worst working environments.
Ever since the task of smelting Iron Ingots was moved out of the Blacksmith’s Shop, the work environment in the shop had immediately improved from 21% to 40%.
But this made things difficult for the female workers in the Smelting Workshop.
The highest Mood, on the other hand, was in the Farmland. Gu Yan’s group of farmers were delighted because they had 200 Flower Demons helping them, which made their work very easy.
[Average Environment] was between 28% and 76%.
The worst environment was, of course, the heavily polluted Smelting Workshop. It was followed by the Oil Refining Workshop, which was full of fumes, and the mine, which was also in poor condition.
The best environment was still the Farmland, followed by the Tailor’s Shop.
If the environment was too poor, Mood would drop very quickly.
That was why Shen Lian’s smelting team, Chen Hua’s Refining Group, and Xia Jing’s Mining team visited the Carefree Spring most often.
[Average Level] was Level 5.
After all, new villagers arrived every day, bringing down the average Level of the older residents.
The first batch of villagers was already approaching Level 10.
Zhao Chi’s and Tang Ruan’s Levels were high because they participated in combat.
Their combat Contribution was high, so they earned far more experience than anyone else.
Naturally, their Levels were higher as well.
That was why they were Level 13, while the highest among the ordinary villagers was Level 9, though they were close to reaching Level 10.
[Average Skills] was 6 points.
Five points were gained from choosing a profession, and one point was gained from eating an Experience Fruit.
[Average Specialization] was 1 point.
It normally took a month to gain one point, but thanks to the Experience Fruits, they already had points in their Specializations.
The Tailors mostly specialized in things like Leather Armor, the Blacksmiths in Iron Shields, and the others all had Specializations in the items they crafted most often.
[Average Enhancement] was 60% Efficiency.
This was related to Level. With an average of Level 5, they had 5 Enhancement Points.
Combined with the 5 Enhancement Points gained from choosing a profession, most of them had 10 Enhancement Points.
Zhao Chi had them allocate all their points into Efficiency.
Based on their 6-point Intelligence Attribute, each Enhancement Point increased Efficiency by 6%. Therefore, 10 Enhancement Points boosted their Efficiency by 60%.
[Average Morale] was around 75%.
Their motivation was still decent.
[Final Production Efficiency] was between 70% and 197%.
This was the final production efficiency after factoring in all the various Bonuses.
Normally, if a worker was competent and dedicated, their efficiency would be 100%.
But that was impossible.
People always got tired at work; they’d take a bathroom break or go for a smoke.
Or they would slack off in various ways.
An efficiency of 60% was considered acceptable.
An efficiency of 80% made you a good employee.
The only people who worked at 100% efficiency were either the boss or assembly-line workers who had no other choice.
It was the same for the Female Craftsmen under Zhao Chi.
After all, they worked a grueling 20 hours a day. Zhao Chi didn’t mind if they occasionally slacked off.
It was a way for them to maintain their Mood, after all.
Besides, they were already working 20-hour days. What more could he ask for?
The most common way these women rested was, of course, by soaking in the Carefree Spring.
Their bodies would feel comfortable, and their Mood would improve.
’That Carefree Spring really is an amazing Building!’
The lowest final production efficiency was around 70%. While that was the low point, it was actually still quite good.
This figure came from the Smelting Workshop, the Oil Refining Workshop, and the mine.
The poor environment caused the female workers’ Mood to drop rapidly until their efficiency bottomed out at 70%.
Whenever this happened, they would all slack off together.
They would strip naked and jump into the Carefree Spring to recover.
The peak of production efficiency, on the other hand, was in the Tailor’s Shop, where it could reach 197%.
This 197% included all Bonuses: Mood, Morale, Skills, Specialization, and Enhanced Efficiency.
Moreover, this was an efficiency they could only achieve during the first hour of work immediately following a break.
As time went on, their Mood and Morale would fall, and the production efficiency of the Tailor’s Shop would slowly decline as well.
His inspection was complete.
Zhao Chi issued the work objectives.
Then, he immersed himself in Tang Ruan’s soft body and began to craft with all his might.
「Two days later, at noon.」
All the cosmetic outfits were finished!
Zhao Chi had nearly gone mad from all the work.
If it weren’t for Tang Ruan’s constant companionship, he truly didn’t know how he would have managed to keep going.
Including the High Heels he had made previously, Zhao Chi had crafted a total of 1,230 cosmetic pieces in the last few days.
Over a thousand!
pairs each of High Heels and Silk Stockings.
of each of the two types of Shirts.
In total, he had consumed 210 Speeding Charms. He’d used quite a lot of High Level Medicine and had completely run out of Middle Level Medicine.
There was still a good amount of Basic Medicine left.
He would need to buy some more High Level Medicine to restock later.
These new outfits weren’t kept in storage; Gu Qing would come by periodically to collect and distribute them.
Now, every woman in the territory had a full set of cosmetic outfits.
The only difference was that the Female Soldiers equipped the Super-Smooth Women’s Shirt, while the Female Craftsmen equipped the Super High-Efficiency Women’s Shirt.
It was enough to meet everyone’s needs.
Naturally, the Loyalty of the newly joined female villagers immediately rose.
The lowest Loyalty in the entire territory was now 7 points.
A score of 7 represented a level of trust where one could confide their innermost thoughts, which was already very high.
