Chapter 99 Labor

After teaching the village chief how to work in the territory, Levi took him to do some characteristic experiments.

For example, diving, the characteristics of water are also effective for the people in the territory. In the territory, they are all considered "biological entities" and will follow the characteristics of mc to a certain extent.

In other words, it is not that they follow the characteristics of mc, but that the characteristics of mc affect them.

After temporarily ending the small characteristic experiment and labor teaching guidance, Levi said to the old village chief:

"If you want to stay here, you must reach the [resident] level within a year. When you become a resident, you can synthesize this tool yourself."

The village chief's expression suddenly became serious.

"You mean, as long as we become residents, we can also use this magic to make tools?"

He directly localized what Levi said according to his own understanding.

"You can say that."

Levi was too lazy to correct it, anyway, it was okay as long as he could understand it.

"By the way, as my subjects, although you will never lack food and shelter, you need to do some work every day."

"Except for children, residents and those below the level need to work at least six hours a day. Oh, you may not know how long six hours is. In most cases, it is roughly equivalent to half a day."

"This, so short?"

The old village chief frowned slightly, not because he had an opinion, but because he was a little bit unconvinced.

"You are too generous..."

This lord not only took in his group of people, provided shelter and food, but was even willing to share his magic.

And the price is just to work--

And it's all this easy work!

This sudden happiness is simply dizzying.

Six hours, according to the lord, is half a day. In the past, let alone half a day, most villagers spent their entire lives working, from sunrise to sunset, including eating and resting, which were basically tied to the workplace. There was no concept of 'working a certain amount of time a day to get off work'.

This kind of territory management method is really the first time I have seen it.

"I know this may be boring, but if you want to stay, then this is necessary."

"When you are promoted to a level above [Resident], you can reduce this time."

Levi continued: "If someone is unwilling to accept it, he can leave at any time, but it should be noted that once he leaves, he will no longer be a [Resident] here and can no longer use anything here."

"No, I will never leave until I die."

The old village chief swore on the spot: "I am willing to join the Free City-State and do my best to contribute to the development of the territory until the end of my life."

"Listen to me first."

Levi pressed his hand.

"I don't force the type of work. You can choose the work you are more interested in for daily labor."

"As your reputation level increases, you can engage in more professions and things to do, and you can also unlock the production of more things, just like me."

Levi synthesized a wooden hoe on the spot for him to demonstrate.

"I think I understand."

The old village chief quickly turned his brain and concluded:

"You mean, as long as we do some simple labor every day, we can gradually learn more magic and do more things with magic?"

"And, we can even use these magics to do what we are interested in?"

"You... yes, that's right, that's probably what you mean."

The old village chief can extract the key points, and he is also a master of localization of words and sentences.

After thinking about it, Levi still didn't use those proprietary words that only he understood to correct them, anyway, they can understand it.

After explaining the key points in the territory again and making sure that the old village chief understood, Levi continued to instruct:

"I have taught you the basics, and then you will tell the villagers what to do."

"This is also considered a contribution to the territory, which can gain you some reputation."

"I understand, sir."

The old village chief accepted the order and left in a hurry. According to Levi's instructions, he gathered the villagers - no, now they should be called the people of the territory. He gathered the people of the territory according to Levi's instructions and explained to them how to work in the territory, how to throw things into the funnel, and how to breed animals, plant trees, collect apples, etc.

After the demonstration, he explained the promotion rules in the territory to the people of the territory.

"The lord has a magical magic that can see how much we have contributed to the territory."

"As long as we contribute enough, we can even use the magic shared by the lord."

"Oh--!"

The people of the territory exclaimed, and it took a while to digest the news.

After figuring out what the old village chief was talking about, some people immediately rolled up their sleeves and prepared to find tools to work hard.

Every contribution you make will be seen clearly, which means that there will never be a situation where your credit is taken away or no one knows about your good deeds.

The lord's eyes are the ruler, he will see everything clearly.

As long as you work hard to make contributions, you can steadily rise, and even learn magic and use it to do what you want - this is not some false promise, but it really exists there.

As long as you meet the specified conditions, you can get it immediately.

A few ambitious people began to stir, while more people breathed a sigh of relief.

For most residents who have experienced wandering and hunger, having a long-term, stable and habitable place is better than anything else. As long as they can make a living and have enough food for themselves and their families, they are already extremely satisfied, and everything else is secondary.

At least temporarily.

Now this part of the residents just want to live a plain life first, and then think about other things.

Half a day's work time is not much, especially compared with the previous days, it is so easy that many residents think that this life is even a bit luxurious, and they can live like this for the rest of their lives.

But this idea will eventually change gradually with the great satisfaction of material life.

When people no longer lack material needs, they will begin to seek spiritual satisfaction.

When life is threatened, people will yearn to live. When they are extremely hungry, they will crave coarse bread or rotten vegetable leaves, but when they have coarse bread and rotten vegetable leaves that they can never finish eating, people will begin to crave better things.

Demands will gradually increase.

As residents live in the territory for a longer time, they will gradually begin to have higher aspirations after they have recovered a little.

By then, even if there is no compulsory labor demand, there will be a large number of people vying to take the initiative to work and create the value they want.
