Chapter 115: Chapter 114: Qi Yue’s Trust

Finally, Zhao Chi looked at her personal information.

Qi Yue was twenty years old, very young.

Her figure wasn’t as explosive as Tang Ruan’s, but a C-cup was more than enough.

Her waist was 1 point narrower than Tang Ruan’s.

Overall, the lines of her figure were excellent.

She didn’t seem to talk much.

After soaking in the Carefree Spring, the other women’s Moods had greatly improved, and they inevitably became more talkative.

They would chat softly amongst themselves while eating.

But Qi Yue didn’t say a single word, just kept eating and eating the entire time.

Zhao Chi called out to her, "Qi Yue."

She immediately swallowed the food in her mouth, snapped to attention, and stood ramrod straight.

Then she answered softly, "I am here!"

Her voice was gentle.

Zhao Chi smiled. "No need to be so serious. You can relax a little."

"Mm, alright."

Her voice was still very soft.

But she still stood ramrod straight.

’So she’s the quiet, introverted type. She always speaks so gently. If you don’t talk to her, she won’t start a conversation herself.’

But her eyes were often fixed on Zhao Chi.

’I don’t know if she genuinely likes looking at me, or if it’s just her personality—always ready to receive orders. But either way, her Attributes are outstanding and her personality is great. She’ll be the Civilian Leader.’

The ten women who arrived today would all be re-classed as Militia.

Previously, Zhao Chi would ask them about their job preferences.

But after doing this a few times, he discovered they didn’t really care one way or the other.

This gave Zhao Chi more freedom.

Zhao Chi immediately re-classed them.

Qi Yue’s Position as "Civilian Leader" came with an additional 5-point Bonus to Shield Skill. Combined with the 5 points from becoming a Militia member, she now had a total of 10 points in Shield Skill.

She would be able to use a shield with great proficiency.

Based on her Attributes, Zhao Chi had other plans for her.

He already had Tang Ruan for a defensive role, so Qi Yue could be developed into an offensive one.

Her Power was 7, so her Damage was high enough. Her Agility was even higher at 8, making her Attack Speed and Accuracy very strong. She could deal a considerable amount of Damage in a short time.

Zhao Chi had two options for her: increase her Attack or increase her Attack Speed.

If he increased her Attack, based on her 7 points of Power, she would get a 35% increase, which was quite good.

However, if he increased her Attack Speed, based on her 8 points of Agility, she would get a 40% increase.

And this was just the Effect of 5 Enhancement Points.

As she gained more Enhancement Points, the difference between the two builds would become more and more pronounced.

After considering all factors, Zhao Chi spent her 5 Enhancement Points on Attack Speed.

[Name] Qi Yue

[Enhancement] Attack Speed +40%

[Skills] Shield Skill 10

’Not bad!’

He also increased the Attack Speed of today’s 10 new Female Militia, though they only received a +30% boost.

This way, he now had an attack group and a defense group.

The Female Soldiers in the attack group could use Iron Sabers.

Although their attack range was short, a saber’s Attack Speed was faster, and it was easier to swing and slash.

Combined with their Enhancement, their already fast attacks would become even faster.

Plus, he had 240 ready-made Iron Sabers they could equip immediately.

"Alright, Qi Yue, from now on you’re my Civilian Leader. Keep up the good work!"

Qi Yue smiled faintly and said gently, "Thank you for your trust, my Lord. I will not let you down."

Her demeanor was graceful and detached.

She wasn’t overly excited, but it was clear she was very happy.

Zhao Chi felt it was a little strange.

’I feel like something’s missing. On second thought, it’s passion. Qi Yue seems nonchalant about everything.’

Zhao Chi checked her Loyalty again. It was 6, which was fine.

Then, he used his Driving Skill on her.

[Target Body] Qi Yue

[Body Match] 100%

[Target Cooperation] 100%

[Current Control] 0%

’Huh!?’

’What’s going on?’

Zhao Chi immediately checked the other women.

Other than Gu Qing and Tang Ruan, none of the others had a 100% cooperation rating. So what was the deal with Qi Yue?

’She’s been here for less than an hour. Her cooperation should only be around 60%, so how did it reach 100%? Could it be because her personality is obedient and serious, so her cooperation rating is naturally sky-high? But even so, this shouldn’t be possible, right?’

"My Lord, is there something you wanted to ask me?"

Qi Yue asked softly, tilting her head.

Zhao Chi laughed. "That’s right. I just want to know, why do you trust me so much?"

"Huh?"

Qi Yue’s eyes glazed over for a second, as if she couldn’t understand why he would even ask such a question.

She quickly replied, "I am your subordinate. Isn’t it only natural that I trust you? Is there a problem with that?"

Zhao Chi was left stunned.

’Listen to that!

Just listen to that answer!

That’s a perfect score!

She deserves a gold star!’

Although he was very satisfied with her answer, it didn’t clear up his doubts.

Tang Ruan chimed in from the side, "Yeah, she’s right!"

Qi Yue smiled at Tang Ruan. "Thank you."

"Hehe, don’t mention it."

The two of them began to chat amicably.

Zhao Chi stopped dwelling on the issue. After assigning tasks to the various work groups, he ducked into the tailor shop to continue making Silk Stockings.

「Soon, another day had passed.」

[Yesterday’s Work Summary]

[Militia] 10 leveled up

[Mining] Iron Ore: 35

[Collection] Herbs: 36

[Forging] Iron Shields: 21

[Woodworker] Wooden Spears: 433

[Chopping] Wood: 208

[Hunting] Meat: 2816, Leather: 32

[Building] Warehouses: 2, Well: 1, Latrine: 1

[Sewing] Leather Armor Sets: 19, Ultra-Thin and Super Smooth Silk Stockings: 8

They had indeed worked for 20 hours yesterday.

Efficiency was still over 200%.

But toward the end, all the women’s base Mood dropped by about 10%.

’It seems the excitement from being able to resurrect is gradually fading.’

After training hard, the 10 new Militia who arrived yesterday all leveled up.

’The other Female Soldiers will probably level up today, too.’

They could finish making enough Iron Shields for all the Female Soldiers today, and would even make some spares.

Counting yesterday’s production, they now had over 600 Wooden Spears in total.

That was enough for each of the 30 Female Soldiers to throw 20 spears, which would significantly boost their ranged damage capabilities.

The "Wood" unit wasn’t equivalent to a single tree.

A small tree might only count as 0.4 units of Wood, while a large tree could count as 2.

The same applied to Iron Ore.

The Hunting team had been working at full capacity for the past two days.

Previously, they had only hunted as much as they could eat, since meat spoiled easily.

But now they needed to craft large quantities of Leather Armor, so they had to hunt more, primarily for the leather.

All the excess meat was being salted and air-dried to preserve it for longer storage.

The Tailors and Construction Workers now numbered 20 each, giving them the highest output.

The Construction Team had managed to build four new Buildings in a single day.

Warehouses were essential.

Until now, all sorts of materials had been left outdoors, while supplies were piled up in the Lord’s House.

Having dedicated warehouses now made storage much more convenient.

A well was also a must-have.

Currently, they had to fetch all their drinking water from the river.

Even though they had the Carefree Spring, Zhao Chi wasn’t sure if its water was drinkable.

Gu Qing, however, didn’t care.

She would swim around and drink from it, butt-naked.

But the other women, including Tang Ruan, couldn’t bring themselves to do the same.

That was why Zhao Chi had Fang Li and her team build a well. In the future, they could draw water from within the village instead of hauling it from the river.

Latrines were also a necessity.

Originally, the women had all used the toilet in the Lord’s House.

But as the population grew, there weren’t enough stalls to go around.

There was often a line.

So, most women had resorted to simply relieving themselves in the woods.

Having a dedicated latrine now would be much more convenient.

There was another benefit to Zhao Chi’s territory being populated entirely by women.

They only needed to build one set of latrines.

There was no need to distinguish between men’s and women’s facilities.

They had made 19 sets of Leather Armor yesterday. After making a few more today, there would be enough for all the Female Soldiers.

Their old Leather Armor would be discarded.

Repairing it might lower its Mass, so it was better to just make new sets. Besides, the quality of the old armor wasn’t good enough to be worth repairing.

Zhao Chi wanted everyone to be equipped with Leather Armor, turning his entire populace into soldiers when it was time for battle.

Even though the Female Craftsmen didn’t have Combat Skills, their Attributes were high enough that their damage potential was more than adequate.

With Leather Armor, they would become a qualified second-line combat force.
