Chapter 52, Three-in-One, 6k (Completed September 3rd)



Then their lord angrily crossed his arms over his chest.

"You are all my slaves, and the offspring of slaves are also slaves, all my property! If you fall ill or something happens, it will greatly affect the development of my territory. Therefore, the great lord has decided to set up a medical point. We will purchase a batch of medicines from the Chaotic Territory, and the territory will provide zero-pollution amplification food to solve the problem of illness. All medical treatment prices will be based on the territory's seniority: less than one year will receive a 20% discount, one to three years will receive a 30% discount, three to five years will receive a 40% discount, and the minimum will not exceed 50%. If someone holds a position in the territory, for example, if Deer Horn has been in the territory for less than one year, he will receive a 20% discount for medical treatment. However, if he is a supervisor, he can be promoted to another level and receive a 30% discount, which means that he can buy zero-base-amplification pollution food that costs 5 gold coins for only 3.5 gold coins!"

"And you, that's 20% off, which means you need to pay me 8 gold coins!"

It cost two less gold coins, and the availability of medical care within the territory greatly increases the chances of dying from unexpected illnesses. And this price... really isn't expensive.

In the present territory, a family can easily make ends meet, and with a little effort, they can save money. In the past, even basic needs like food and clothing were a problem, but now there are ways to solve illnesses.

Some families consist of two young adults with one child, earning a dozen or so silver coins a month. If they are frugal, they can save a third or even half of their earnings. If they receive a bonus, it becomes a considerable sum. In some families, with four adults, the daily income is 8 liang (approximately 400 grams), which is 24 jin (approximately 12.5 catties) or 24 silver coins a month. Saving one gold coin a year is not a problem. However, it is definitely not enough to buy a house or pay for medical treatment with this money.

Qin Yiyi aroused their desires; with bigger goals in their hearts, they would work even harder.

As she expected, after she finished speaking, all the slaves began to think. The slaves here could read and do arithmetic. Even if they didn't have much education, they still had skills passed down from hand to hand.

They are not ignorant fools who know nothing.

After Qin Yiyi left, it was lunchtime. All the slaves sat together, some with a bowl of porridge, and some with half a steamed bun to fill their stomachs.

Since everyone lives in the same territory and is relatively close to each other, it's reassuring to leave the children at home. Besides, orc children are much more robust than ordinary human children. There aren't many children under three years old in the entire tribe, so each of the few children takes a look at the others and they look after each other.

When there are many people in a territory, they will be divided into small teams and factions. However, even if there are occasional conflicts within the team, they will still help each other on important matters. Even if there are conflicts, people will not transfer their conflicts to the children.

Qin Yiyi was quite relieved that they wouldn't make any fundamental mistakes.

Slaves can have their own thoughts, no one is always honest, and the world is not black and white; it's normal to have gray areas. But as long as you don't cross her bottom line, she won't say anything.

Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own.

She took a sip of water.

Staple foods like seaweed rice rolls increase health points, mixed grains like steamed buns increase stamina, and fish balls increase attack power. Because they are made with fish meat, they can deal double damage to people with fish genes. And fish balls belong to... the vegetable category, right?

Unlike the original game rules, which involved using ingredients with specific attributes to create food with higher attribute values ​​(e.g., flour, which had a stamina attribute, would increase stamina differently depending on the cooking master's skill level, and ingredients with a speed attribute would create food with a speed attribute), this new game offers a different experience.

However, it seems that this is not the case here. Instead, the food is divided into categories based on staple food, grains, and vegetables, which increase health, stamina, and attack power. Note that this is only an increase, which means that if you are not injured, there will be no bonus after eating it. If you are injured, eating it will restore your health. Stamina is different. For example, if you have full stamina, eating the grains that increase your stamina will increase your stamina by one level. The same applies to attack power.

Thinking of this, she immediately took out a black dress she had bought, put on her shoes, put on a veil, and covered herself with a huge hat brim.

Wearing lace gloves, she searched for her two guards, the first being the tentacle monster.

"Interested in visiting Chaos City?"

The tentacle monster readily agreed.

Hehe, Hands's going to play now!

What is Chaos City?

To win over her first bodyguard, Qin Yiyi whispered, "You protect me well in Chaotic City, and I'll cook you delicious food when I get back! Double-pepper rabbit, shredded pork with sweet bean sauce, braised beef brisket, steamed pork ribs, roast chicken, roast goose, roast duck, braised pork knuckle, and braised pork intestines! All of them!"

Kraken's eyes lit up as he listened, and all the tentacles behind him sprouted out. He wiped his mouth, and all the tentacle monsters watched as their little tentacles secreted drops of saliva.

Stay calm, we must stay calm!

Don't let your drool fall!

I can't resist! They all sound delicious! I've never tried any of them! I want to try them all!

All the tentacle monsters emerged, but the room couldn't hold so many tentacles. According to incomplete statistics, Kraken had at least a hundred tentacles. His tentacles were large and long, and the newly emerging tentacles were constantly being pushed down by the other tentacles.

[Does the new guy even know the rules? These are all people who've been here for decades!]

Krakens can grow new tentacles after one is injured and severed, much like a gecko. Therefore, tentacle monsters are ranked by age.
