Chapter 2780

【The current hero has successfully had their identity stripped. The Hero Platform can now perform 1 Hero Identity Grant.】

Very good.

Continue!

Zhao Chi stripped the identities of all the captured heroes one by one.

"Kill those werewolves and throw them in the river."

"Yes!"

These werewolves are already useless.

The female soldiers grabbed them up like mice and carried them straight down the Hero Platform.

The remaining 21 people were to be sold off together with the male slaves from Chaoge Town.

Next came the granting of Hero Identity.

"Come on up!"

Zhao Chi stood at the top and spoke to the female captains below.

When those 50 female captains climbed the steps, their legs were trembling too.

But their trembling was from excitement.

At the very front were the main-clan captains like Li Zhu, Ding Dang, and Feng Xiu.

Their qualifications were basically the oldest.

Although they were all young Misses between 18 and 25 years old, most of them had come when Zhao Chi had just first established his territory.

Zhao Chi laughed and said: "Gu Qing and the others just told you, right? After the promotion, your personality will change a little, and some new personality traits will be added. You won't mind, will you?"

The female captains all laughed.

Li Zhu smiled and shook her head: "How could we possibly mind? my lord, you underestimate us."

Ding Dang said: "The added personalities are Calm and Sociable — both are good personalities. Who would refuse good personalities?"

Feng Xiu said: "I often get a bit worked up. If I could swap that out for Calm, I'd be more than happy to."

Wei Leng said: "I actually don't really enjoy talking with people. I'd love to become more cheerful and sociable, but I've tried, and it's really hard. Now that my lord is giving me this chance, it's exactly what I've been dreaming of. How could I possibly mind? I even want to thank you."

"Right, I also want to thank you."

"Calm is what I'm lacking."

"Exactly — clearly good personalities, something everyone wants. Who would refuse?"

"Right, my lord, if you could become more handsome, would you refuse?"

"Haha, exactly."

"Hurry up, my lord, we can't wait any longer."

Zhao Chi laughed and said: "Alright, let's begin right now!"

In the Hero Platform interface, he selected Grant Hero Identity, then chose Li Zhu first.

The altar in the middle once again emitted light.

But this time it was white light.

The light quickly enveloped Li Zhu, and the white light gradually turned into a faint golden color.

Li Zhu's eyes shone brightly.

Her excitement was written all over her face.

She bit her lip, stared fixedly at Zhao Chi, then suddenly threw her arms around him.

"Thank you, my lord!"

A soft, fragrant body pressed into his arms, and Zhao Chi was startled.

He was genuinely startled.

Granting the identity shouldn't activate emotions, right?

Zhao Chi definitely didn't dislike them — quite the opposite. They were young and beautiful, every one of them a class-beauty-level beauty, and after the refresh, they'd all be school-beauty-level women.

Moreover, they were all very familiar with Zhao Chi, and their relationship was good.

Zhao Chi still quite liked them.

But the problem was he didn't want to be too fickle in his affections.

And having too many was also troublesome.

What if 50 women with activated Affinity were directly added… that would truly be maddening.

Happiness would be certain, and a certain other kind of happiness too, but the problem was there were too many.

At least Zhao Chi felt it was too many.

Fortunately, Li Zhu's Affinity page had not been activated.

She was just excited.

And since she genuinely had a good relationship with Zhao Chi, she wanted to express her gratitude through a more personal gesture like a hug.

Knowing this, Zhao Chi set his mind at ease.

So he gently hugged Li Zhu back.

"No need to thank me. It's I who should thank you for all your efforts over this time. I'll still need to rely on you to lead the team in making staffs and wooden carts going forward."

"This is what I should do. Just rest assured, my lord!"

After letting go of Zhao Chi, Li Zhu quickly walked down the Hero Platform and joined the nearby group of female carpenters.

Those female carpenters immediately sensed something different.

It was a feeling that was very hard to describe.

It was as if they had suddenly gained confidence in something.

Let's check the status... there are 60 female carpenters who each have a 60-point bonus to Command and a 60-point bonus to Administration.

Their work ability all gets a 60% bonus.

"Wow, Sis Zhu, can the few of us also get such a high bonus in the future?" one female carpenter said in surprise.

"Yes." Li Zhu nodded.

"Doesn't that mean I've also become a hero?" another female carpenter asked with a laugh.

"Haha, if you want to think of it that way, you can." Li Zhu chuckled lightly.

"Wow, Sis Zhu, you alone can give a bonus to all 60 of us?" yet another female carpenter said in surprise.

"Yes, but unfortunately the number is limited. However, my lord said this is only the beginning. Later on, new female heroes will be converted one after another, and our own clan's craftsman sisters also still have a chance. Next time it should be the vice-captains, and the time after that the squad leaders. Later we'll continue expanding the carpenter team, so all of you perform well and strive to at least become a squad leader, then you'll all have a chance to become heroes. In short, my lord said that in the end he wants all the sisters to be able to receive the bonus!" Li Zhu patiently explained.

"Wow~ that's great!" the female carpenters.

Li Zhu smiled and said: "I also learned a new skill, let me try it on you all, let me think how to use it... alright, like this!"

A beam of light shot up into the sky.

Immediately after, it split into 61 beams of light that descended.

One of them landed on Li Zhu, and 60 landed on the female carpenters beside her.

Instantly, the female carpenters felt a surge of excitement.

"Sis Zhu, what kind of skill is this? An Inspire spell?"

"That's right." Li Zhu nodded: "But it's not as strong as my lord's effect. The good thing is that this skill of mine is specifically for everyone to use. In the future, whenever anyone's been working too long and is tired, or has failed a craft and lacks confidence, I can help you all gain a little bit of morale, and it'll be of some help."

"This is great, this is great!"

"Yeah Sis Zhu, I want to start working right now."

"Me too, I've still been unable to make a wooden cartwheel properly. Shall we go make one? With this morale boost and the Administration bonus, we'll definitely succeed this time!"

Li Zhu nodded: "Alright, let's work hard and help my lord make plenty of quality products. Carpenter team! Begin work!"

"Begin work!!"

After Li Zhu became a hero, Ding Dang, Feng Xiu, Wei Leng and the others also quickly finished their conversions.

With Li Zhu's example ahead of them, the 49 female heroes after her all hugged Zhao Chi as well.

Zhao Chi really hugged his way through every cup size from A- to F+.

The feeling really was different.

But they were all soft, fragrant bodies with different scents, and every single one felt wonderful to hold. He never grew tired of it.

Of course.

If he wanted to hug them normally, he could do so anytime.

Not long after, all the new heroes had finished their promotions.

Beside the Hero Platform, everything was shining with brilliant light.
