Chapter 1384

"How is it, Zhao Chi? Not bad, right?"

"Not bad at all — I didn't expect you to be this good at swimming too? How did you get those two fish?"

"Compress the flame in my palm, then burst it out in an instant — stunned them both in one go."

"Stunned? Those two fish are still alive?"

"Of course."

Zhuang Ya grabbed one in each hand by the tail and walked to shore.

Then she shook her hands, and sure enough, the two fish began thrashing violently.

"How about that?" Zhuang Ya said with a smile.

"Not bad. With this Dahe right here, we won't have to worry about eating fish in the future. But your appetites are too big — eating fish until you're full is still hard. Still, being able to eat it often is no problem."

"Hehe, that's great. Qiyue likes eating fish too — she likes this fishy smell, and especially likes eating yours."

"Huh? Is it very fishy?" Zhao Chi hadn't expected this topic could be steered that way too.

Zhuang Ya smiled and said: "Sometimes a little. Gu Qing says it has to do with what you eat. But as long as you're willing, I can still swallow it down. Though Qiyue says it's fragrant — I can't taste that."

"Fine… you can catch some more fish for Qiyue to eat."

Zhao Chi forcibly steered the topic back.

"Alright, are Yang Lu and the others hunters? Are they good at catching fish?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "No, we need dedicated fishermen. There was no need before, but now we can have ten people switch jobs to fishermen — specifically catching and raising fish. It counts as improving our lives."

"Haha, that's great. I have a candidate to recommend to you."

"A candidate? A candidate for fisherman?"

"Yes, there's a girl named Wei Yu — her swimming ability is very strong. We usually swim in the Xiaoyao Spring when we have time."

"Wei Yu… what's her personality like?"

"Very good personality, and extremely decisive."

Zhao Chi entered the system to take a look — sure enough, not bad.

She's a farmer under Gu Yan.

Gu Qing likes swimming in the Xiaoyao Spring, especially now that the Xiaoyao Spring has grown larger.

Quite a few female villagers she brought along also came to like swimming. Zhuang Ya is one of them, so Wei Yu should be one too.

"Good. Is she willing to switch to fisherman?"

"Of course — she practically wants to be in the water all day long."

"Liking the water doesn't necessarily mean she's willing to be a fisherman."

"Don't worry — fisherman is her dream."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Good, then leave this matter to you. If she has no problem, take her to the job-switching room to switch jobs. Tomorrow just pick nine from the new villagers to switch to fisherman."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

The two walked another lap around Yunmeng Village and found nothing else of note.

This Yunmeng Village could be considered fully developed.

After returning to Penglai Village, Zhao Chi also opened up the permissions for Yunmeng Village to all the villagers.

Gu Qing walked over in surprise.

"My lord, we've gained another territory?"

"That's right."

Right after, Zhao Chi told Gu Qing his own thoughts and so on.

Gu Qing nodded: "Understood. We can build a shipyard and docks in Yunmeng Village, but that side is mountainous… should we switch some people to porters? Dedicated to carrying things?"

Porter is also a profession.

Specific job skill: carrying.

Can improve transport capacity.

Including transport capacity using wooden carts or horse-drawn carts.

There was no reason to switch anyone to it before — on one hand, the population was small, so there was no need to set up dedicated porters.

On the other hand, those women are strong and can carry things themselves.

Later, with the over-limit load gene, there was even less need for porters.

In fact, from the standpoint of capability alone, we don't need porters now either.

Still, transporting supplies is after all a time-consuming and physically taxing task.

If craftsmen spend time on carrying, it eats into production time.

Better to set up dedicated carrying personnel.

That way the carrying personnel are more professional and can move more supplies.

And over time, their carrying ability will grow stronger and stronger.

Meanwhile the craftsmen can save time and put all of it into production.

If there had been carrying personnel before, that huge batch of supplies after this battle might have been moved very quickly.

This proposal is a good one.

Zhao Chi nodded and said: "Porters are fine. Do you have candidates? Or should we switch some from tomorrow's new villagers?"

Gu Qing smiled: "There are candidates. In Fang Li's construction team there's a construction squad leader named Song Yun — good personality, familiar with our territory. She can serve as the carrying squad leader. The rest can be switched from the new villagers."

"Song Yun, huh…"

Zhao Chi checked her profile — no problems there either.

"Alright, leave it to you."

"Good. Are the shipyard and dock in a rush to build?"

"No rush. Just build them according to the plan."

"Understood. I've already produced some silk threads and they're soaking for degumming. You'll be able to use them in a bit."

"Good, thank you for your hard work."

"What's so hard about laying out silk? It's just something done along the way. Then I'll head over to Yunmeng Village to take a look. Call me if you need anything, my lord."

"Good."

Gu Qing swayed her waist lightly and left.

Zhao Chi entered the Carefree Springs.

There were quite a few people in the springs.

The female villagers in Zhao Chi's territory now numbered 1,862 in total.

With so many people, it could be considered quite a sizable scale.

In each of the springs within the Carefree Springs, there were always quite a few people.

And now it was already late autumn, the weather had turned cold, and those female villagers liked coming to soak in the springs even more.

The number of people in the Sauna Spring was much greater than before.

Quite a few people soaked inside until their whole bodies turned pink.

The number of people in the Ice Water Spring had noticeably decreased.

But there were also several dozen female villagers who frequented it regularly.

There were also some female villagers who, as if they'd lost a game or a bet, were forced to scream through a few seconds of soaking, while plenty of female villagers on the bank laughed uproariously.

Zhao Chi made a round of inspection, then lay down at the spot he usually occupied.

He then took out two Primal Slime bloodlines.

Both bloodlines were perfectly round spheres.

Just touching them made him feel at ease.

He wondered what genes could be broken down this time.

Activate them all. Break them all down.

【You have chosen to break down "Primal Slime Race Bloodline." Confirm?】

Confirm!

Confirm!

Both bloodlines were broken down together.

In an instant, two beams of light blazed.

The entire Carefree Springs was radiant with light.
