Chapter 2425

【However, the Love Heart Collar outfit has now been released. You can also try improving the Love Heart Collar first to see its attributes】

【But I think now we have 5 Mysterious Maiden Ruler fragments, enough to reset these few outfits】

Zhao Chi【Good! Let's do as you say! Great suggestion!】

Qi Yue【Mm, hehe】

No more talk.

First, craft the Love Heart Collar.

Soon, the process was complete.

The Love Heart Collar's improvement interface popped up.

【Please select improvement direction】

【Collar Improvement Points】40 points

【1. Submission Effect 15%】10 points

【2. Submission Rise Speed 30%】5 points

【3. Submission Decline Speed -30%】5 points

【4. Comfort 10%】2 points

【5. Cleanliness 20%】2 points

Huh?

It's a bit different from before.

Most of the options are submission-related.

This Love Heart Collar is actually a submission-exclusive outfit?

Not bad.

Although there's no need to have the female soldiers wear this outfit, it can be given to those female slaves to wear.

Zhao Chi captures a large number of enemy prisoners after almost every battle.

But getting these prisoners to work for him is very slow.

It requires quite a bit of time and steps.

【Step One】First, intimidate them. Zhuang Ya did this step perfectly, intimidating them all completely.

【Step Two】is to raise their submission. This step must be done.

Generally speaking, raising submission relies on punishment and discipline.

To put it bluntly.

It's intimidation and beating.

Of course, it's impossible to beat all the prisoners — only those with the deepest hostility get beaten.

Most rely on intimidation.

These methods can quickly raise the prisoners' submission.

However...

These methods are very useful, but they will raise their hostility.

【Step Three】is to slowly dissolve their hostility.

When hostility drops, the rate of submission decline also drops.

This step must also be done.

It just takes a lot of time.

So disciplining prisoners is a long-term process.

It requires patience and methods.

If he had this collar...

Then every batch of captured slaves could be put to use very quickly.

Although he now has the county-level building "Discipline Hall," which costs 10 gold coins per thousand people per month, it can raise the submission rise speed of all slaves by 30%, and lower the submission decline speed by 30%.

The effect is very good.

And it applies to all slaves.

But the only drawback is the numbers are still too low.

At least for Zhao Chi, it feels too low.

Now with this collar, none of this is a problem.

Very good.

Improve immediately!

But the question is, which option to improve?

The last two are basically not considered — only the first three are considered.

Submission Effect is very strong.

This must be maxed out.

At least without using Mysterious Maiden Ruler fragments, the first option must be maxed out.

Moreover, all the options on this collar are good — Zhao Chi really wants to max them all out, can't bear to give up any one.

Submission Effect is the degree of submission.

The higher the submission, the more obedient.

And more active in work.

Simply put, both obedient and active.

It is an absolutely good attribute.

When obedience is low, like 1-2 points, there is no initiative at all, and they even go against the lord.

Slaves with this level of obedience are completely unusable and must be disciplined.

Only when obedience reaches 3 points, ideally 4 points, are they barely passable.

At least they look like slaves.

They can be put to use.

But they are still not at all proactive, and their work is only perfunctory.

Only above 5 points, ideally above 6 points, can one feel these slaves beginning to become eager.

They will be very deferential.

Their work can also be diligent.

When obedience reaches above 7 points, they are simply outrageously hardworking.

This kind of slave is a good slave.

Truly a lord's treasure.

Every lord likes them.

Right now, over at Chaoge Town, there are quite a few slaves like this.

More than half of the work output from Chaoge Town's farmlands is completed by these proactive slaves.

And this first option is to increase this initiative.

It must be maxed out.

Of course, it has little effect on slaves with 1-2 points of obedience — after all, they had no initiative to begin with, and increasing it looks just like no increase at all.

The effect on 3-4 points of obedience is also limited, but at least some effect can be seen.

And at above 5 points of obedience, the Xiaoguojiu Society effect becomes more and more obvious.

If this first effect is maxed out.

Then those slave laborers with obedience above 7 points will truly work themselves to death for Zhao Chi.

They wouldn't even want to rest if told to.

If not allowed to work, they would all weep bitterly.

The first option must be maxed!

Of course, Zhao Chi also cannot really let the slave laborers overwork themselves.

That would be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Essentially, the more proactive and obedient a person is, the better it is for them.

That is the true way.
