Chapter 103

【Level】Beginner

【Skill】Construction +5

【Attribute】Enhancement Points +5

The construction worker's enhancement likewise prioritized efficiency first.

Among them was a woman with fairly good attributes; Zhao Chi had her serve as the construction team leader, managing and leading the other 4 female construction workers.

【Beginner Construction Worker: Fang Li】

Class change complete.

All 10 newly arrived female villagers now had their own professions.

Everyone felt full of fighting spirit.

Construction worker Fang Li asked, "My lord, what building shall we construct?"

Zhao Chi said, "Build defense towers first—construct 5 of them."

Fang Li was stunned for a moment, then confirmed again, "My lord, construct 5 defense towers? Not build any other structures?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "That's right. In a few days there'll be a magical beast invasion, so we need to set up defensive facilities first. Building walls is too cost-inefficient; defense towers are more cost-effective. But for these few days you'll have to stay in the barracks—is that alright?"

Fang Li shook her head and said, "What's the problem with staying in the barracks? Of course there's no problem. But the defense towers we can build right now are only beginner-level ones—very small."

"Mm, I understand. It's fine—just go ahead and build them."

"Understood, my lord. We'll start construction right away. Are there any requirements for the location?"

"One in the center, then one each to the east, south, west, and north—distribute them evenly."

"Roger!"

It was now 8 in the morning.

All the female craftsmen performed their respective duties.

Today was already Day 3, with 4 days left to develop.

This kind of development was certainly not fair.

A trainee like Zhao Chi could only rely on himself.

Some trainees could rely on their families.

Even though the Lord Academy's Eighth Academy was a commoner academy, among commoners there were still Gao Di.

A better family background meant, after all, greater assistance.

They could buy more equipment, or buy some refugees.

All of it could substantially boost strength.

But correspondingly—

If both parents in the family had lost their territory, there were no resources to provide help.

If the parents' territory was still intact, they could provide some help, but it was limited.

After all, the parents also faced the pressure of the foreign-race magical beast invasion.

Relatively speaking, the parents' pressure was even greater.

Most of the resources would still be invested with the parents—after all, that was the cruelest battlefield.

What was invested in the children would be a little more than others, but in the end it wouldn't be too much.

Noble families were excepted.

On the training ground.

Gu Qing was at the very front, facing 10 female soldier-citizens.

Zhao Chi stood behind the militia, practicing spear thrusts along with them.

The female militia held shields in their left hands and tree branches in their right, practicing very earnestly.

Yesterday only the carpenter Li Zhu alone made wooden shields, and he only produced 8.

Today the carpenters had been supplemented to 5, so by the afternoon the whole team could be equipped with brand-new wooden shields and wooden spears.
