Book of Casting
Ye Miaomiao paused while eating the apple, and her nonchalant expression instantly turned into one of surprise and flattery. The change was so fast that some of her micro-expressions still maintained a look of indifference and sarcasm, which was full of humor for a moment.
She should have thought of it earlier. The primary factory and the tavern were all dwarf technology that Bell had brought out. Look at that bulging little pocket. How could it be drained so quickly?
Ye Miaomiao regretted not bringing some delicious food, so she could only flatter and praise Bell. For a long time, Bell was still arrogant, looking like an angry and upset child.
Ye Miaomiao was extremely anxious, but fortunately at this time Zuo Haohan heard the noise and limped out. Looking at Ye Miaomiao who was staring at Bell, and Bell with his nose raised high, he leaned against the door frame and chuckled. A healthy red thread appeared under his originally sallow and pale face.
"Give it to her, Bell. Didn't you say you wanted a cocktail yesterday?"
Bell's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took out a huge book from his pocket without hesitation. The book was even bigger than his pocket, and he didn't know how the pocket could hold it.
"Here you go! I'm going to go drink, hehe... No, I mean, I'm going to get ready for work."
Ye Miaomiao was speechless. She glanced at Zuo Haohan gratefully. "I've already paid for the wheelchair. I'll have it delivered directly to the tavern. I'll install the ramp later. It will be much more convenient for you to come and go in the future."
Zuo Haohan smiled and nodded, his dark eyes, which had been dim for some reason in the past, now filled with light: "Thank you."
Ye Miaomiao was about to open the book to check it out, but after a moment's hesitation, she closed the book and asked, "What's going on with that Lu Zhichao?"
"Lu Zhichao..." Zuo Haohan paused for a moment. What did the lord mean? Was she saying that Lu Zhichao had suddenly changed? Zuo Haohan knew all about this. After all, it was he who delivered the wine every day and invited him to the tavern.
However, Zuo Haohan shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know, maybe it's because the lord has good management."
Ye Miaomiao: “?” Could it be...that it is really possible!
It wasn't an important matter anyway, so she immediately put it behind her mind and excitedly opened the book Bell gave her, saying, "It's okay, you guys go ahead. I have to repair a building later, so I won't go with you."
"Okay." The two agreed and entered the tavern.
When Ye Miaomiao got this thickened version of the book, she thought it was full of ready-made blueprints, but when she opened it, she was surprised to see the words "SR: Book of Casting".
[The Book of Casting
All the knowledge of the dwarves about casting. After learning, you can improve the "unknown" skill attributes according to your understanding, or obtain "unknown" blueprints.
Friendly reminder: This book has not yet been recorded in the human civilization column. To study this book, you need a professional "scientific researcher". Please note that NPCs cannot study it.
Ye Miaomiao was disappointed for a moment; it turned out it wasn't readily available. But she quickly cheered up. The higher the quality, the more demanding it was. Thinking back, didn't the tavern have NPCs back then, but it had a brewing accelerator?
Ye Miaomiao suddenly felt that this "Book of Casting" was not simple, and...
As the territory has developed to this point, it no longer simply needs people who can farm and sew, but also some high-tech, high-end talents. One researcher is not enough, and Ye Miaomiao has long wanted to hire one or two more researchers.
After all...Eh Eh Eh is already the number one in technology, Niu Hulu, Eh Eh Eh.
Thinking about this, Ye Miaomiao had already posted the recruitment information on the task board.
After posting the job posting, she recalled her original purpose and took out the "Miner's Friend." This was a massive steam engine that, when placed next to a mine, would automatically merge with it.
Ye Miaomiao placed the blueprint on the mine. The amount of minerals needed by the Friends of Miners was huge. After she used up all the minerals in the warehouse, there was still a little left.
Thinking of the huge bonus it brings, Ye Miaomiao: I accept it!
She waited for a moment, and just then, quite a few introductions had been sent to the light screen. Ye Miaomiao selected a few people with mechanical experience and gave them a copy of the first few pages of the "Book of Casting". She planned to give them an "exam" to test their learning results, and then make a selection from among these people.
After doing all this, we finally had enough mineral materials and filled them in one by one.
A flash of white light appeared, and the narrow mine tunnel widened, splitting in two. The isolated "coal pit" had vanished at some point, and the "Warning: Attention Safety" sign that had once stood by the coal pit suddenly appeared at another intersection on the side of the mine tunnel.
A bulky and huge instrument was located between the two roads. Several metal furnaces of unknown use made gurgling sounds. Several pipes extended from the instrument to the mine tunnel.
Inside the mine tunnel, two metal pipes, too large to be held with two arms, were embedded at the top, with numerous smaller pipes of varying thicknesses buried along the sides. Every few meters, a thick iron frame secured the tunnel, and a rickety kerosene lamp hung precariously from the top, its dim light obscuring the entire end of the tunnel.
The miners' channel immediately became lively. The place where they worked had undergone a major transformation. They knew that Ye Miaomiao had placed some kind of building.
"The two machines combined require 300 units of coal per day, and we'll need even more in the future..." Ye Miaomiao murmured, "It's not enough for the NPCs to dig coal for a few hours every day now."
She thought about it and pulled out two miners to dig coal full-time, while the rest of the people kept their jobs unchanged.
With the triple blessing of "Friends of Miners", "Yellowstone Mine" and "Six Days Brew", the Quarry Hut can produce at least 1600 coal and 2400 ore per day.
Moreover, the ore produced now has a "durable" effect, and its quality is twice as high as before, so more ore will be stored.
Ye Miaomiao felt a sense of extreme joy leading to sorrow. Too much ore was produced every day, and it would soon fill up her already limited warehouse.
Ye Miaomiao simply built a secondary warehouse in the depression next to the mine tunnel. He placed all the ore and other materials there. Suddenly, rows of shelves were neatly arranged, and the shelves were filled with wicker baskets filled with ore.
The secondary warehouse is a full 100 square meters. Although it is not particularly large, there is no need to worry about lack of space for a period of time.
Just after finishing, the light screen suddenly received a new message -
It turns out that among the people who had just taken the "exam", one of them had already discovered a blueprint?
Ye Miaomiao: "?" So fast? What kind of territory is this, Edison?
She replied immediately. After receiving the blueprint, Ye Miaomiao's eyes lit up and she immediately sent a message: "Come to the farmland!"
After Ye Miaomiao sent out the recruitment information, she immediately received the good news that the blueprint had been discovered. Naturally, she had no idea how a group of people had sighed and lamented during this period, and how their joy turned into sorrow.
Zhang Ya was one of these people. Earlier, a friend from the civil service team had told her about her opportunity! Everyone knew Zhang Ya was a top student in chemistry, perfectly fitting the description of "high-end talent" in the recruitment information.
As a result... Zhang Yaxing rushed in to see that it clearly required "mechanical experience, energy and power experience..."
Zhang Yamamu: What does this have to do with her chemistry?
Yes, abandon your illusions and recognize the situation. Chemistry is the soul of chemistry, and chemistry is the job of the people.
What's even more abominable is that the guy who repairs bicycles downstairs is happily showing off in the group. He actually got a few pages of the "Book of Casting". It seems that his job is stable. He also said that he wants to thank the people who love him and treat everyone to a meal.
Zhang Ya: “…” Blame her for not thinking of a thank you speech.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was news in the civil servants group again. It turned out that several sisters who had the same skills wanted to recommend themselves.
The lord clearly wrote in the notice, "Due to the recent technological developments in the territory..." It doesn't make sense that we only need talents in energy and power, so why don't we need them?
Some people even said that they saw the lord in the mine and heading towards the farmland.
Zhang Ya, who was hesitating in the forest, heard a shout of "Charge" in the group. She immediately got excited, put away her axe, replied "Wait for me!" and trotted towards the farmland.
But... from a distance, I saw the lord and a few sisters who were shouting loudly just now, but now they were standing behind the farmland fence like quails, watching the fun.
Zhang Ya: “…” She knew it, so she just joined in to watch the fun.
With Zhang Ya and the others leading the charge, the crowd surrounding the farmland suddenly grew larger. The newly promoted mechanic, who had finally squeezed through the crowd, had already been awarded the title of scientific researcher.
"Isn't he the one who is called the most powerful in the group?" a sister wondered.
Zhang Ya opened the group chat and found that the message "Thank you to all those who love me and those I love" had been withdrawn by the owner at some point.
She suddenly burst out laughing.
The visitor was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was dressed rather simply and had an ordinary face. He was the kind of person you wouldn't remember if you saw him in a crowd.
However, Ye Miaomiao took the initiative to greet him and happily took the blueprint from his hand - [Steam Tractor]
Steam tractor: It can be used for transporting goods and conventional agricultural planting. It is a multifunctional agricultural machine.
She immediately placed the blueprint on the ground, and a huge blueprint that was two meters high and three meters long appeared in its place. After Ye Miaomiao filled in the materials, she felt the ground shake slightly, and then a giant tractor appeared next to the farmland.
Hu Sanhan exclaimed loudly, "Wow!"
"The tractor has an interface at the back that can be used to replace a lot of tools. It can be used for farming, harvesting, threshing, and baling... The only drawback is that it might be a bit noisy." Li Mu had walked around to the back of the tractor at some point and pointed to each tool and explained them one by one.
"You can use it!" Ye Miaomiao's eyes lit up. After hearing the affirmative answer, she was so happy that she wanted to buy another piece of land immediately. Her warehouse was still empty!
With a tractor, the harvest rate reaches 200%, and each person can manage an extra acre of land. If twelve farmers here have twelve acres of land, and they buy another piece of land, wouldn't that give each person exactly two acres of land?
Ye Miaomiao: She is really a little genius!
As soon as she opened the territory interface and looked through it, Li Mu suddenly came over, holding the corner of his clothes. Behind her was Hu Sanhan, and the two of them were hesitant and didn't know what to say.
Ye Miaomiao: “?” Why does Li Mu also look like Hu Sanhan?
Why are they here so... weirdly? Are they... together? Want to feed them some dog food?
However, Li Mu's next words made Ye Miaomiao immediately put away her messy thoughts.
"Well... I have a friend who also wants to be a farmer. She is my good sister and a very nice person. She works seriously and is hardworking. Moreover, she was my roommate in undergraduate studies, and we both studied agriculture!" Li Mu hesitated for a while and finally asked.
“I wonder if we need additional farmers if we buy another piece of land?”
Zhang Ya and the others, who were watching the excitement nearby, inevitably heard everything. They looked at each other in bewilderment: Damn it! They hadn't even put themselves forward yet, and someone else had already gotten there first!
Several people immediately took a few steps towards this side stealthily, and pricked up their ears to listen to what Ye Miaomiao had to say——
"Of course! Our territory is in great need of talent!" Ye Miaomiao said with a smile, "But a tractor allows one person to manage two acres of land, so... we're not short of people for now. What's her name? I'll write her name down for now and give her my first choice next time!"
Li Mu nodded in frustration at first, but when he heard the second half of Ye Miaomiao's sentence, he became obviously happy: "Li Jing! Her name is Li Jing!"
Ye Miaomiao said "oh" and was about to take out Li Jing's resident file and make a mark when she was suddenly stunned.
"Huh? There's no such person as Li Jing in the territory?"
Li Mu was shocked: "How is this possible!" She had met Li Jing not long ago, and she was so familiar with Li Jing that it was impossible for her to recognize the wrong person!
So where did Li Jing go? Why wasn't she in the territory?
Hu Sanhan was also surprised and said, "How could it be!" He also knew that Li Mu gave him points and tools.
Ye Miaomiao quickly waved her hands, calming the two of them down. If this person wasn't in the territory, then he must have left. Ever since entering the city island, Ye Miaomiao had strictly controlled who entered and left the territory, and the security team would definitely have a record.
Thinking about this, Ye Miaomiao had already opened the internal system of the security team. She wanted to look for this person in the special entry and exit area. When her eyes slid across the chat box, she suddenly found this message -
"Update on the 'Possible Illegal Suspect Memo': Li Jing"
Ye Miaomiao: “?”
She clicked on Li Jing's file and asked Li Mu hesitantly, "She...your friend Li Jing's uncle recently passed away. Is she going to bury her uncle's ashes?"
