Chapter 79: The First Night

Carpenter's shop, blacksmith's shop, tailor's shop.

All are buildings that come with the system.

Once built, each contains the corresponding workbench and tools.

For example, a furnace, anvil, cutting table, loom, saw table, and so on.

Very well-equipped.

A small workshop can accommodate 5 people crafting at the same time.

At the absolute limit, it can hold up to 10 people, though it would be very cramped.

Tonight, the female villagers decided to work overtime until midnight before resting.

Tomorrow they'll have new tools to use.

They can also provide clothes directly to the newly arrived villagers.

Zhao Chi was chopping trees with all his might.

Visibility was poor at night, but chopping trees didn't require much light.

One torch was enough.

Gu Qing stayed with Zhao Chi, chopping alongside him.

Apart from cooking, she had no interest in smithing or sewing.

Tang Ruan, on the other hand, quite enjoyed sewing and mending.

Her fingers were nimble, and she was very skilled at stitching clothes.

If she weren't made to switch to soldier, she would definitely switch to tailor.

The goblins had to work too.

There were 3 axes left, so the goblins kept taking turns chopping trees.

With Zhao Chi and Gu Qing right here, they didn't dare slack off at all.

They were nearly crying from exhaustion.

Gu Qing was strong; chopping bamboo basically took her only a few minutes.

Chopping a tree as thick as a bowl's mouth also took only ten minutes.

But chopping a tree as thick as a person's waist took considerably longer.

Zhao Chi was a bit slower, but still much faster than the goblins.

These trees were all randomly generated using configuration points.

Their thickness and species were all different.

But there were no fruit trees.

By midnight, the goblins had already collapsed on the ground, unwilling to move a muscle.

Gu Qing's arms were also sore and weak.

Although her stats were good, they were still finite.

No matter how strong someone was, chopping trees with all their might would wear them out; by the end, she couldn't even swing an axe anymore.

She let her arms droop limply: "Ah, my lord, how come you don't seem tired at all?"

Zhao Chi raised his trembling arm: "Look how much I'm shaking? I'm exhausted too."

Gu Qing laughed: "Let's go, we'll rest and continue tomorrow."

Zhao Chi nodded.

He had Old Cloth lead people to bring over their dirty blankets to cover themselves and rest.

They were just goblins; sleeping out in the open was fine.

But those female villagers couldn't sleep out in the open.

No houses had been built today, so they could only sleep in the lord's residence.

They'd just have to sleep on the floor.

The lord's residence bedroom was 20 square meters, so sleeping 10 people was no problem at all.

Two female villagers also needed to stand night watch.

To warn of beast attacks and keep an eye on the goblins.

Each watch shift was 1.5 hours, so someone would be on guard all night without anyone getting too tired.

Looking at a room full of women, Zhao Chi naturally had no objections.

They had all bathed.

The room was full of the scent of shower gel and shampoo.

Tang Ruan and the others had already spread beast skins on the floor.
