Work Arrangement

Outside of New Town.

A black gate appeared on the road, and a neatly arranged caravan drove out from it. The heavily loaded trucks crushed the heavy road, and the blond girls escorted this large caravan, heading in the direction of the new town.

The guards in charge of keeping watch immediately noticed the anomaly and sent someone to report it to Roland. When the latter arrived, the convoy had already stopped in front of the gate of the new town.

"I'm back, Roland. How's New Town these days?"

"All is well in town. Welcome back, Master Mason, this is..."

Roland looked at the long line in confusion. He was not worried that Mason would harm the new town, but he was confused about where the other side got so many people from.

"We have bought all the necessary supplies, and we have also brought back the manpower you requested."

Mason briefly introduced Olih and the other man, and Roland immediately realized their value.

He originally just wanted to follow the profiteer and learn something from him. Later, he was selected by Mason to become a planter to manage polluted plants, and then somehow he became the acting mayor.

Roland knew his own capabilities, and his greatest wish was to complete the task without any mistakes and not cause any trouble.

At this moment, Roland seemed to see his bright future. He warmly welcomed the convoy. As the long convoy drove into the new town, the townspeople ran out in surprise.

"How's Wormwood?"

"I delivered ore and raw materials to Wormwood as you instructed. She also took away a Flame Turtle Bloodline, and she hasn't left the house since then."

It seems that Absinthe is busy with research. I hope she can develop cement soon. Mason nodded with great satisfaction and directed the town to transport goods.

Boxes of goods were unloaded from the wagons and sorted into different categories for storage. Daily necessities were first placed in the Chamber of Commerce, useful machinery was sent to No. 1, and waste was moved to a temporary warehouse.

After putting everything away, Mason stretched out his arms and looked at the setting sun with satisfaction.

The scaly sun was hidden behind the flesh-like clouds, and the dim dusk enveloped the village.

Mason lit a candle, and the flickering flame illuminated the room. The boy picked up a pen and paper and began to write a plan by candlelight.

The first step is to build infrastructure.

This requires the success of Absinthe's cement experiment and the completion of the repair work of Ya'an City by the mechanic. Mason thought about it and decided to take No. 1 with him. The technology level of the android is superb, but he was previously trapped in the mirror and didn't know much about the current technology of the mechanical city. It was a good choice to go to Ya'an City to learn.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to dismantle and repair the device, Mason planned to let No. 1 steal some device drawings and bring them back to cooperate with the mechanic to build it. In this way, the new town would have its own device factory.

Next came the irrigation canals. At Mason's request, the town had opened up far more fields than needed this year. The first batch of contaminated plants sold in exchange for seeds and tools, but this was only the first step. If you want these crops to thrive, you need to water, fertilize,

Having written this, Mason paused, turned to the next line, and wrote two words seriously.

Public toilet.

Yes, there were no public toilets in this era! The nobles would build toilets, but ordinary people would just find a bush to use.

Most people were decent enough to find a bush outside the village to solve the problem. But Mason was still disgusted by this.

You never know what fire you'll step on next, it's scary to think about it. Public toilets must be built, and these people are strictly prohibited from urinating and defecating anywhere! As for the products, they can also be used as fertilizers. This hard work will be left to Roland, who made him the number one farmer in the new town.

The horses that were brought back also needed a place to live. Now that the weather was not cold, they could just tie the horses up in the square. But these horses were just ordinary creatures, and they made the square dirty and messy. It was necessary to build a stable and assign someone to take care of them.

"There is also fodder for the winter...When the time comes, save the wheat and mix it with the hay to make fodder."

It is said that in order for horses to grow strong and healthy, they need to add vegetables and eggs to their fodder. New Town does not have this condition at present, so Mason plans to raise some chickens, ducks and sheep next time to enrich everyone's diet.

And there was the dessert he had promised to make for Ollie. If he didn't do it, the girl would definitely bear a grudge against him. He had to think of a recipe.

There were jobs waiting to be done, and Mason was overwhelmed.

Fortunately, he still has a lot of useful people under his command.

No-brainer, Unhappy, Roland, Rambo, Orihi and the Mechanic.

Mason listed the people who could be used in the new town on a piece of paper, muttering to himself.

"I remember that bloodline duo was pretty good, what were their names... I just remember one of them seemed clueless and the other one seemed unhappy."

The boy thought about it and gave the task of digging the public toilet to the two men, and let them handle the rest on their own.

Roland was in charge of irrigation canals and fertilizer research, Orih was in charge of patrolling and hunting, and Rambo was in charge of coordinating all work.

The next day, Mason handed the work plan to Rambo, who understood what he meant and immediately agreed.

The Brainworm Bloodline is a well-known figure and the perfect choice to manage the village. Mason undoubtedly did this to build momentum for him and gave him important responsibilities directly.

The first person he approached was Roland. When he found him, the Bloodline was in the fields checking the growth of crops.

Roland didn't like farming at first, but as he got better at it, he started to like it. Whenever he felt upset, he would go to the farmland by the river and find peace among the plants.

Sweat was dripping down the man's forehead. He wiped it off and noticed that someone had suddenly stood by the field.

Roland was startled when he saw who the other person was. He walked over and asked, "Why are you here, Mr. Rambo?"

He was not stupid. He had already asked Mason for details and had a general understanding of the brainworm bloodline. To be fair, the other party was more suitable to be the acting manager of the new town than him, and Roland was willing.

The middle-aged man adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "Master Mason introduced you to me. From today on, you will be my assistant."

"...assistant...?"

"Yes. Your abilities are far beyond your imagination. Being confined to the fields is too restrictive for you, Roland. You can become a great man."

Roland was stunned for a moment. Rambo looked at him calmly, his eyes behind the glasses unusually clear. Roland had a premonition that things were beyond his control. The strange thing was that he was actually excited about it.

The man swallowed his saliva: "Can I really do that?"

The brainworm seemed to smile, and that smile was filled with determination to win.

He said, "Of course."

If Rambo really wanted to convince someone, basically no one could escape. With Roland's help, he easily completed the task of assigning work.

Finally, he found Orih. The girl naturally obeyed his orders. After learning the content of the task, she took out the bottle full of red pills and stuffed them into her mouth one by one.

Ollie stood on tiptoe, her back straight, like a dancing little princess. Her skirt, woven of lace and satin, fluttered, and dozens of tiny creatures flew out from under her skirt. They landed on the ground and grew, quickly becoming young girls.

The blonde girl put her hands on her hips and ordered arrogantly, "Move, you are the guards now!"

"clear--"

The girls answered in unison, and transparent wings grew from their backs, buzzing and flying in different directions. Another group of clones took up their weapons and flew into the forest. They were responsible for hunting and providing enough meat for the new town.

Rambo stood beside her and glanced at the half-empty bottle.

"It's time to refill the blood pills. Powerful monsters are hard to find, so use them sparingly recently."

"Well, I wonder if there are any monsters around here."

Ollie curled her lips. If she wanted to use her blood, she had to drink enough blood. The quality of the clone was determined by the quality of the blood. These blood pills were specially made for her by Rambo. They were easy to carry and powerful. If they were used up, it would be difficult to replenish them.

"There are many polluted plants growing in the new town. I will suggest to Master Mason that we tame some monsters."

That will be a matter for later, at least until the pollution monsters are harvested again.

With the help of Orih, the original bloodline members of New Town were freed up and began to explore further borders. Ronald Town and New Town are far apart, and there is a large area in between that has not been cleared. Originally, there was only one baron, Ronald, and later Abner cleared those dangerous creatures. More monsters are wandering in the wasteland, and if you want to expand the area of ​​activity, you must first clear them out.

The townspeople devoted themselves to planting, construction and gathering.

Mason finally felt a little relieved after assigning these tasks. With Rambo taking care of the work for him, he could deal with another matter.

The rest of the time, the boy locked himself in the house. Food and water were delivered to the door, and the empty plate was taken away at night. No one knew what he was doing.

During this time, the mechanic took No. 1 to Ya'an City to fulfill the agreement with Ya'an.

There, she met the young people introduced by Ya'an.

He was a very shy boy, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he greeted me very reservedly: "Hello, I am Hal, and the Earl asked me to come and study with you."

Yaan introduced: "This is a very talented young mechanic in Yaan City. I think he will satisfy you."

Number One glanced at the young apprentice with a complicated expression.

It is certain that you can learn something from a mechanic, but what you learn is not certain.

He had never seen such a strange ability as hers, which could completely overturn the knowledge of any researcher. What would the person trained by her be like? Number One didn't even dare to imagine it.

The mechanic said coldly: "I understand."

The Earl smiled and said, "You are younger than I thought. People who come out of the Mechanical City are only interested in machines. If they didn't need money to maintain the operation of the Mechanical City, they might never leave the Mechanical City in their lifetime."

"As long as I am paid, I am my employer. I am just fulfilling my employer's request."

"Mason is an excellent kid. Young people can always achieve unexpected results. I wonder what he did to impress a master of the Mecha City?"

Hearing this question, the woman looked at Ya'an with a smile and did not fall for his trick.

“It’s something no one can give you.”

“If I had the chance, I’d really like to know what that is.”

Ya'an smiled and didn't dwell on it. Even if he couldn't hire a master mechanic, it would be nice to have a good relationship with one. He clapped his hands, and someone came in from outside and bowed deeply to the mechanic.

"Please come with me. The device that needs repair is ready."

The mechanic nodded and glanced at the embarrassed Hal: "Let him go back first. I will take him with me when I leave."

There was a reason why Mason agreed to take an apprentice. There were too few talented people in the new town and it was not very attractive. If he wanted to attract talent, he had to find another way. Since Ya'an could provide excellent apprentices, why did he have to find them himself?

There are complete sets of machines in the basement with intricate structures. The most eye-catching one is the tall column in the center filled with yellow liquid. This is the basic energy liquid that can provide sufficient energy.

The servant introduced: "This is the spoils obtained from the followers of the Black Mist. It may be that the battle was intense, so there is always noise when it is in operation."

Mason recognized it immediately. This was the power device he had obtained with Aurelius.

The woman's voice was hoarse and weary: "It can be repaired."

Number One cooperated and took out the toolbox. Of course, a mechanic doesn't need this, but it's enough to make it look good.

The servant nodded happily and left politely, leaving only the mechanic and assistant No. 1.

"These mechanical structures are different from what I remember. If the owner sees them, he will definitely be very happy."

Number One inspected the machine with great interest. The Mechanical City likes research, and as time goes by, more and more technologies will appear. As a creation that looks like its master, Number One is also delighted by this.

"The original technology of the Mechanical City used alchemy as the framework and magic as the energy source. But now there is no magic element in the air, and the technology of the Mechanical City must be transformed accordingly. This is also what I am most interested in."

Number One spoke excitedly, he opened the energy tank, dipped the dark yellow liquid into his mouth, and tasted it through the mechanical system. The mouth automatically decomposed the contents and carefully identified the ingredients.

"30% water, 40% pollution... These energies are extracted by processing monster blood and reacting with polluted plants. The exact proportion is unknown. If I have enough raw materials and tools, I can try to replicate it."

The robot quickly finished the analysis and said confidently, "Write down the structure of this machine, and then go back and draw the blueprints and you can make it."

The android was worthy of being the crystal of the time. The analysis speed of No. 1 was even much faster than the computers of the previous generation. I don't know how Ham was made. Mason sighed in his heart, and controlled the mechanic to walk to the instrument and put his right hand on the energy tank.

【Mechanical Operation】Start and reassemble the damaged machinery.

The two of them worked quickly while communicating. The mechanic used the blessing to repair the machine, and No. 1 took the opportunity to start learning about the mechanical knowledge of the Black Mist Era.

How terrifying is the learning speed of the android? Mason saw it with his own eyes. As long as he took it apart once, No. 1 could perfectly grasp the principle. In addition, Ya'an kept sending various devices, and this basement instantly became No. 1's study room.

Mason's mood immediately improved when he thought about the machinery that the new town would have in the future.

Apart from other things, the generator must be arranged. Street lights! The whole new town must be equipped with street lights!
