Chapter 2428: New Outfit (2)

Affected by objective circumstances.

Zhao Chi had to use slave labor.

Let these slaves contribute their share too.

But they were unwilling.

Their obedience would keep dropping, and resistance would continue without end.

It was just that, depending on temperament, some slaves resisted more fiercely, others more mildly.

Because of this, Chaoge Town had to maintain a team of several thousand overseers, constantly supervising the slave laborers.

On top of that, over a hundred full-time disciplinarians were needed for daily admonishment.

Some of the female soldiers also had to be reassigned here for duty, to suppress the resistance.

Zhuang Ya also had to spend time and energy intimidating these slaves.

The cost was still very high.

If their resistance could be lowered, these personnel costs could be greatly reduced, freeing up more hands for more meaningful work.

And that's not all.

It wasn't only the slaves who resisted.

Prisoners of war would also resist.

And prisoners' resistance was the fiercest, especially in the early stages.

With this effect, it was also very useful for capturing prisoners.

Letting the prisoners lower their will to resist.

One could say it was a useful attribute from capturing prisoners all the way to converting them into slave labor afterward.

This attribute was really not bad.

This collar's special attribute reduced resistance by 30%, and with the material's bonus, it could reduce resistance by 90% in total.

It looked very high, but this number was equally inflated.

Equivalent to before, when they resisted once every 5 days, now it became once every 9.5 days.

The effect was actually quite good.

Resistance frequency dropped, suppression frequency dropped too, and the slaves' hatred value would also increase more slowly.

Also an attribute that achieved many things at once.

Very good.

Too bad there was no such attribute among the refinement options; it would be even better if there were.

But it didn't matter.

Under the current situation, Zhao Chi already was very satisfied.

All in all, this Love Collar truly lived up to being a rare outfit.

"My lord, how is it? Are this little collar's attributes good? Why have you been looking at it so long?"

Qiyue stared curiously at the collar.

Zhao Chi handed over the collar with a smile: "The attributes are indeed not bad. You can put it on and try it, tell me how you feel, so I can better understand this collar's effect."

"Okay~"

Qiyue took it happily.

This collar was really good-looking.

Very small and delicate, very exquisite.

Called a collar, it was actually more like a neck decoration.

Qiyue lifted her hair and tied it behind her head

Fully exposing her snow-white neck.

Then she happily put on this first collar, like putting on a necklace.

The instant she put it on, her whole body immediately trembled.

Zhao Chi saw Qiyue's gaze change instantly.

From the loving and friendly look just now, it suddenly became a kind of reverent submission.

The love in her eyes... was gone?

It wasn't that it was gone...

More like it had been deeply pressed to the bottom of her eyes.

Something wasn't quite right.

Could there be side effects?

Qiyue stared blankly at Zhao Chi.

The next moment, she dropped to one knee.

With absolute devotion: "My lord... my lord, you... I am willing to follow you for generations, to devote my everything to you..."

Too exaggerated...

Zhao Chi quickly pulled her up.

He felt Qiyue's hand trembling too.
