Chapter 281

Originally, Zhao Chi had planned to make them work overtime, but he hadn't expected them to already be doing it on their own.

Zhao Chi opened the blacksmith shop's information interface again.

Sure enough, it was very different now.

【Building Information Details】

【Name】 Blacksmith Shop

【Level】 Small

【Personnel】 10/10

【Efficiency】 209%

【Environment】 21%

【Morale】 195%

【Duration】 20 hours

【Output】 Iron Spear 42

【Consumption】 Iron Ore 42, Coal 42

The attributes had shot right up.

These were all estimates the system gave based on the current situation.

The estimated data was actually this high.

Their morale had actually reached 195%.

A world of difference from the unhappy 33% before.

Now they could be considered extremely excited.

50% of that came from bathing, and it could last 6 hours.

But that didn't mean it wouldn't decrease during those 6 hours; it would still drop due to dirty and harsh environments, physical fatigue, or other factors.

Besides that, there was another 145% of morale.

He guessed it was because the connection had granted two new genes, "Bone-Gathering Revival" and "Soft Body," especially the "Bone-Gathering Revival" that allowed resurrection, which made them extremely happy.

It had boosted morale significantly in the short term.

In a few days, once their excitement wore off, these extra bonuses would decrease until they disappeared, returning to normal.

Then he'd take advantage of now to make them work more overtime.

With morale up, efficiency rose along with it.

Output had also increased.

Besides morale, efficiency was also greatly related to professional skills and stat allocation.

He closed the blacksmith shop information.

Zhao Chi checked the other workshops, and the result was the same—everyone's morale was now in an overflowing state.

Every work group's production efficiency had reached around 190%-230%.

Very good, then work them to the bone!

Just as he was thinking that, behind the house beside him, a large tree came crashing down with a rumble.

That was Lin Mei leading the logging team in a frenzy of tree-felling.

Five women walked over from the side.

It was Yang Lu and her hunting group.

All five female hunters were carrying wild boars on their shoulders—it looked like they'd caught an entire boar family.

Another five female miners were pushing a small cart full of iron ore, transporting it to the blacksmith shop.

This was Xia Jing's mining group.

Although these women were all working, they were chatting and laughing, looking very happy.

Everyone was working hard, so Zhao Chi couldn't sit still either.

"Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, you don't need to worry about me. I'll take a bath right away and then go work too. I'm going to pull overtime as well!"

Gu Qing smiled and said, "I know. Would you like us to bathe with you? We can wash your back while we're at it?"

Zhao Chi waved his hand, "No need. Go get back to work. In the time it took to say that, with your strength, you could have already felled a tree."

Gu Qing smiled and shook her head, "Alright then... my lord, just call for me anytime you need anything."

Tang Ruan also smiled and said, "Alright, my lord, then I'll get back to work."

Both women left.

Zhao Chi headed straight for the Carefree Spring.

The huge pool was empty, so Zhao Chi jumped right in.

Refreshing!

The moment he entered, he felt every cell in his body open up.

There was an indescribable sense of comfort.

And this was without any comfort improvements. If comfort were improved, he couldn't imagine how comfortable it would be.

Later, if he had extra money, he'd buy another blueprint and build a hot spring specifically maxed out on comfort.

He might roll his eyes back in bliss soaking in it.

Zhao Chi lay in the hot spring, feeling his mood greatly improved.

It seemed like he could let go of anything.

It truly lived up to the name "Carefree."

Besides that, he felt his strength rapidly recovering throughout his body, and the speed at which spiritual power gathered was also noticeably faster.

After soaking for just 5 minutes, all the bonuses from the Carefree Spring had already been fully obtained.

【Name】Zhao Chi

【Status】Whole-body state recovery speed +200%, Mood +50%, lasting 6 hours.

Zhao Chi's current mood is only 136%, still far from those women's 200%, but he already feels extremely happy.

It's just past 6 in the evening now.

It's the perfect time to work.

Out, get to work!
