Things went more smoothly than Xi Ye had imagined. Less than a month after the intelligent program began, over five thousand D-Earthlings had flooded into the base.

And all of them very readily signed that unequal treaty, and after selling themselves, they were still elated. Whether it was mining, farming, or tracking biological specimens, they worked incredibly hard, without the slightest complaint, as long as he could give them so-called Honor Points based on their workload.

At the suggestion of the AI, he created an Honor Ranking, ranking them according to the points they contributed. After that, these players worked like they were injected with chicken blood. The top-ranked miner was a player called King of Liver Kings, who only went offline for four hours a day, working harder than a slave threatened with death!

Compared to them, those federal guys who clamored for a raise after only working eight hours were really unprofessional.

Look at these guys! What is a salary?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a simple and hardworking race!

He secretly vowed in his heart that he would treat them better after he became rich... at least he had to give them a salary...

"Prompt: The population registration has exceeded five thousand. According to the scale calculation, the second factory can be opened!"

"Okay, good!!" Xi Ye nodded in satisfaction.

The original plan was to open the second factory at least half a year later, but because the manpower was too strong, and the environment of Mars was exceptionally good, the development far exceeded expectations.

He looked at the data. Now he has a total of five thousand one hundred and thirty-four people, and the number is still increasing every day.

Among them, the Green Titan had the largest number, with more than three thousand seven hundred people choosing the Green Titan Gene, one thousand three hundred people chose the Wood Elf, and less than two hundred people chose the Developer's bloodline.

Seeing this data, he had to sigh again at the pure and simple nature of the people on this planet, because before the surgery, the selection rules clearly stated the job assignments of various races!

The Green Titan were initially responsible for mining, carrying, and other hard labor, and the Wood Elf had to cultivate and maintain crops in the dry sand of Mars. Only the Developer worked in a comfortable indoor environment, but what he didn't expect was that after he opened up free choice, ninety percent of the people chose two difficult jobs.

Originally, this should have been assigned by himself, but the AI gave the suggestion to let them choose freely. Xi Ye thought about the tragic contracts of those D-Earthlings and finally chose to let them be free once.

But after issuing this order, he was worried about what to do if there were too many Developers and too few Green Titan as basic labor, and then the simple quality of this planet once again resolved the problem in his heart.

High aptitude and diligence, Xi Ye once again firmly believed in his heart that his ancestors must have saved the entire universe!

Xi Ye strolled outside the base. The slight radiation and low gravity effect of Mars were not a problem for him at all. Not to mention his Celestial Race bloodline, even a race with a little bit of survival ability could live well on this planet. Compared to the harsh environment of the Ninth-Grade Planet, this place was much better.

Xi Ye had seen a Ninth-Grade Planet where the climate was so harsh that the land was frozen in the morning, a vast expanse, and in the afternoon it was so hot that all the water in the ocean was evaporated!

"Lord Xi Ye!!"

The elves who were cultivating crops outside respectfully shouted when they saw Xi Ye. Xi Ye nodded slightly and waved to signal them to continue working.

The cultivation of crops is also quite smooth. Due to the good environment, most crops with strong survival ability can be planted, such as the Hell Melon of Pengel Star, the Purple Rice Vine of Lainster Star, and so on.

Looking at the well-developed melon vines, Xi Ye secretly swallowed. He hadn't eaten fresh melons and fruits for ten thousand years and had been living on nutrient solutions.

Thinking that after the agricultural prototype is formed, he will teleport back to the federation once, buy some Elf Tree seeds to improve the soil, expand the planting area, and buy some good biological specimens to try to cultivate some local livestock.

"Hey, you few!" While he was happily imagining the future, he suddenly saw a few elf balls that were already red all over, and his face suddenly darkened: "Go back to rest quickly, I don't want to see any more corpses of Elf Jerky being dried in my territory!!"

"Oh... yes, Lord..." Hearing that they were not allowed to work, the elves replied weakly and walked back to the base dejectedly, complaining in their mouths: I knew I should have chosen Green Titan. It's too disadvantageous for elves to earn points in the early stage!

Unlike the Green Titan who can run around on Mars with their arms bare, elves must wrap a layer of biological film around themselves with biological energy when they are outdoors. This biological film consumes water in the body. If they stay outside for a long time without returning to the base to replenish it, they will eventually turn into a piece of Elf Jerky and die on this red planet.

Sometimes they are even picked up and eaten by passing Green Titan players, which sounds a bit scary, but it's not without reason.

The main reason is that Elf Jerky emits a strange fruity fragrance. Those Green Titan have to replenish a lot of nutrient solution at any time when they are mining hard outside, but the taste of that thing is really unflattering, so when they accidentally smell this fruity fragrance, most Green Titan can't help but be attracted to it!

At first, no one did such a conscienceless thing, until a player named G Ni Tai Mei was the first to eat Elf Jerky, and then this kind of thing began to spread...

According to Green Titan players, the taste is actually pretty good! It has both the flavor of meat and fruit... which led to those Green Titans showing malicious smiles when they saw lone Wood Elves later on...

Some Elf players even claimed that they saw Lord Xi Ye secretly eating Elf Jerky, which caused a huge uproar at the time. The Elf players even protested collectively, but Lord Xi Ye strongly denied it. Now, whenever he sees crimson-colored Elves in public, he orders them to quickly return to the base and log off to rest!

Because they need to go back in time to replenish their nutrition, all Elf players can only work for a maximum of four hours, and then they need to replenish two hours of nutrition in the base before they can continue working. This makes it very disadvantageous for Elf players to earn Honor Points.

So, many Elf players immediately proposed to modify the points system and increase the amount of points earned per hour of work for Elves.

But the Green Titan players immediately objected. Just kidding, they work their butts off mining outside, and you fur balls are doing light work, resting for two hours after working for four hours, and now you want to be paid more than them? What makes you think you can? Do you really think we are coolies?

Although, in reality, they are...

Due to the large number of Green Titan players, the Elf players are weak and outnumbered. Xi Ye didn't want to offend the vast number of miners, so this proposal was ultimately dropped.

After that, the ones who caused trouble were the Developer race. There were already few players who chose this race, but still, more than half of the players who chose this race were clamoring to have surgery again to become Green Titans or Wood Elves.

In fact, as long as the brain is backed up, their own clones can be replicated infinitely. As long as they are willing, they can have a body of each race, but if they do that, after the brain has been integrated with multiple race bodies, it will subconsciously complicate the evolution, which is extremely detrimental to future evolution.

In the Great Universe Federation, most wealthy families consider the future evolution path and race selection for their children when they are very young, and they will not change it easily. Only the poor, who do not have the money to buy evolution gene potions, will first choose a race with low potential to do some rough work to accumulate enough savings, and then buy a good gene to start over.

But in this way, the path they can take in future evolution is also limited, so it is difficult for the poor to turn over in the Federation. It takes more than ten or even hundreds of generations of accumulation to become a family with excellent genes.

And Xi Ye naturally wouldn't watch his people with such potential waste their talents, so he directly rejected the players' choice to change genes!

Moreover, there are only a little over a hundred Developers in total. If he agrees that they can change genes at will, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have even ten of this type left. Without them, who will operate these instruments? Who will do scientific research in the later stage?

Of course, he would not allow this to happen!

After patrolling around and returning to the base, seeing the Developers looking bored next to the instruments, the corners of Xi Ye's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: Do these D-Earthlings like doing hard labor so much? I might as well call them the "Die-if-you-don't-work" people in the future
