Chapter 2117: County-Level Buildings (3)

The captives and slave laborers can now only rely on Zhuang Ya to suppress them.

Zhuang Ya is extremely responsible.

And… never tires of it.

The effect really is quite good.

But it also completely confines Zhuang Ya within Chaoge Town; she can hardly leave the place.

After all, obedience changes too quickly.

A round of discipline can raise it fast, but it can also drop just as fast, and it increases hatred as well.

This is especially common with new captives and new slaves.

If there were a way to speed up the rise in obedience while also slowing its decline, that would really be useful.

It improved the situation along two dimensions.

But it also costs money.

And it costs more gold than the Talisman Platform—every 1,000 captives or slaves consumes 10 gold per month.

Zhao Chi's territory currently has 60,000 captives and slave laborers, requiring 600 gold per month.

That's no small sum.

For an ordinary lord it's absolutely a fortune, so normal lords wouldn't keep this many captives and slaves either.

But for Zhao Chi, it's really a trivial amount.

At the same time, new classes can also be unlocked.

The Disciplinarian is similar to the Patrol Officer, except it targets captives and slave laborers rather than residents—kind of like those overseers.

But an overseer is a post, not a class, so it gets no class bonuses.

This Disciplinarian, on the other hand, is a class, with bonuses.

Not bad at all.

Build it immediately!

White light flared once more.

A square, boxy building appeared beside it.

It looked… like a small prison.

Zhao Chi opened the stone door and went in.

Sure enough, there were quite a few rooms inside, with a layout very similar to a prison.

It probably has its own special effect too?

Opening the Discipline Hall's building interface, he indeed saw new information.

【Building】 Discipline Hall

【Room】 Discipline Room

【Quantity】 10

【Effect】 When taking damage inside the room, death probability -90%

Huh?

This Discipline Room doesn't add any gratitude effect, nor any obedience effect.

It only has the effect of reducing death probability by 90%.

And it specifies that the death probability is only reduced when damage is taken inside the room.

So what is this room for?

What's the use?

Does that even need thinking?

The room is literally called the Discipline Room!

It's basically an execution chamber.

If any captive wants to cause trouble, just lock them in this Discipline Room, and then you can "educate" them to your heart's content.

Anyway, with the death probability drastically reduced, as long as the methods aren't too brutal, they basically won't die.

The effect is definitely excellent.

So it achieves discipline through pain…

Well, that works too.

Sometimes the most direct method is the most effective.

Zhuang Ya is definitely going to love this place.

Just as he was thinking of her, she came in with her legs pressed together.

"Zhao Chi, I-I think I can unlock a new class."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Mm, I'll go set up the Mage Tower for you all a bit later, hold on a moment."

Zhuang Ya shook her head: "Not the Mage Tower. Poke on my side and it shows I can unlock the Disciplinarian class. What's a Disciplinarian?"

Oh, a Disciplinarian…

Not bad at all.

The moment this class was unlocked, Zhuang Ya could unlock this secondary class too?

Zhao Chi briefly explained it to Zhuang Ya, and her eyes lit up more and more as she listened.

"Really? This building has these effects too? Then I'll go unlock the secondary class right now." Zhuang Ya was very excited.

Zhao Chi laughed: "In such a hurry?"

Zhuang Ya nodded: "Yes! This room can reduce the death rate by 90%, it's absolutely perfect! Right now there are several troublemakers who keep acting up, and they're all hard cases. I was going to execute them, but they seem to have some prestige among the slaves, so killing them outright would be troublesome. I'll bring them over here and give it a try—if I can discipline them properly, things will be much easier!"

Zhao Chi said, "Good, you can use this place anytime from now on. Although there are only 10 rooms, each room can hold quite a lot of people — more than enough for you to educate them every time."

A trace of fervor appeared on Zhuang Ya's beautiful and alluring face.

"Understood, I'll head over right now and give them a proper 'discipline' in a bit!"

Zhuang Ya excitedly clamped her legs together as she left.

Zhao Chi, meanwhile, curiously opened Zhuang Ya's personal interface.

【Name】Zhuang Ya

【Class】Expert-Level Disciplinarian

【Skill】Discipline 101+50

Well…

As expected of Zhuang Ya.

Her skill has already broken past 100, jumping straight to Expert-Level Disciplinarian.

She must have already accumulated enough skill points for this class beforehand.

With the Disciplinarian specialty boosting her, Zhuang Ya's ability to raise those slaves' obedience will be even stronger.

Besides Zhuang Ya, those female overseers can also come over and unlock it — Zhao Chi can help cover the cost for them.

There's also Wei Leng, Xia Yan, and those combat squad leaders. They've always cooperated with Zhuang Ya in managing the captives, so they should have quite a bit of Discipline skill too — they can all come unlock the secondary class.

Have Zhuang Ya bring them over later to unlock it.

Nearly an hour had already passed in here, which meant 36 seconds had gone by in the real world…

Hurry up.

Let's check the next building right away.

【5. Inheritance Hall】

Another one I have no idea about.

Let's check its specific attributes.

【Building】Inheritance Hall

【Function】Can set bloodline-related matters

That's it?
