Slaves Delivered to His Door

Logically speaking, a doctor should never end up being sold into prostitution.

However, this doctor offended someone when he was young and had one of his arms cut off.

After losing his arm, many medical techniques became unusable, and the years that followed were filled with hardship.

But for Chen Changhe, losing an arm was no problem at all.

Don't tell them they only lost an arm.

Even if both of his arms were cut off, it would just be a matter of assembling another Mechanical Arm for him.

Chen Changhe immediately met with the doctor and commissioned a custom-made Mechanical Arm as a reward.

With a real doctor in charge, the Hope Town's status has been elevated significantly.

This news alone is enough to attract a large number of free people to settle in Hope Town.

The doctor was deeply grateful to Chen Changhe for recognizing and helping him.

He not only served the people of the town wholeheartedly, but also took the initiative to pass on his family's medical skills to some talented young people, cultivating a medical team of his own for Hope Town.

Of course, the doctor will never know.

The reason he had this idea was entirely due to Chen Changhe subtly influencing his subconscious by using the core technology loaded into the Mechanical Arm.

By utilizing the core technology within Mechanical Arm, it is possible to subtly alter a user's thinking and perception.

From this perspective, Chen Changhe could easily control the thoughts of all the residents of Hope Town.

This is the power of Orks technology.

Besides the farmers, more than 500 others were sent to the mines to work.

Although all miners are equipped with Mechanical Arm, their working capacity has been greatly improved.

However, Hope Town now has a much greater demand for various minerals.

The original mineral production is no longer sufficient to meet current demand.

In order to increase production, mine managers had to extend the miners' working hours, which left many miners exhausted.

Chen Changhe was originally unwilling to do this.

However, the demand for this ore was too great, so he had to turn a blind eye to some things.

The addition of these 500-plus people can increase ore production without increasing the miners' working hours and labor intensity.

This should basically meet our current needs.

Chen Changhe redesigned the layout of the mine, optimized the mining process, and grouped the miners into teams based on their strengths.

Mining is a very arduous task. Spending long hours in the mine not only causes physical pain but also creates immense psychological pressure and fear.

Before Chen Changhe arrived in Hope Town, almost all the miners were resistant to their work, and their work efficiency was very low.

Each new miner will be assigned Mechanical Arm.

This Mechanical Arm is simpler in construction than military Mechanical Arm, and the blacksmith's inventory can basically meet the demand.

Of the remaining people, more than 500 were sent to the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith shop in Hope Town has been expanded, with the addition of several large metal smelting furnaces.

Chen Changhe modified the original smelting furnace in this world, greatly improving smelting efficiency.

Of these 500-plus people, some who originally had forging skills were transferred to help with blacksmithing.

The remaining people were divided into different groups, some of whom were responsible for handling and pre-processing the raw materials.

The improved metal smelting furnace can reach higher temperatures, and the resulting metal products are of a higher purity than the metals originally found in this world.

Some of this metal was used to make Mechanical Arm, while others were used to make weapons, equipment, and agricultural tools.

Chen Changhe kept all the Mechanical Arm and similar items for his own use.

However, Chen Changhe chose to sell some of those weapons, equipment, and farm tools to outsiders.

Metal utensils produced in Hope Town are highly sought after in the market, and although it has not been long, they have already gained a good reputation.

The refining of high-purity metals attracted the attention of the surrounding areas, and many unscrupulous individuals began to plot against Hope Town.

They either sent spies into the town to try and steal the secrets of the smelting technology, or loitered outside the town, looking for an opportunity to rob.

However, under the management of the now much stronger guard camp, these people were wiped out by the soldiers of Hope Town before they could play a role.

Some of these people were spies from other lords' territories, while others were bandits from the wilderness.

Within the Human Kingdom, besides the lords, there is a group of humans who disobey the king's rule and establish their own kingdoms in the mountains.

They had no fixed abode, wandering from place to place in search of survival and wealth.

When Chen Changhe first entered this world, the people he encountered, including Doug Forbes, were in this situation.

Small-scale bandits made a living by robbing passing merchants and farmers in villages.

Large-scale banditry, on the other hand, dares to besiege small towns and even engage in direct conflict with the lord's army.

They were well-equipped, well-organized, and ruthless.

The leaders of these large-scale bandits often possess extensive combat experience and leadership skills; they know how to utilize terrain and tactics to gain an advantage.

The bandit who is now being brought before Chen Changhe, bound hand and foot, is just such a bandit.

"So... your bandit gang wants to attack Hope Town?"

At this moment, Chen Changhe was standing in front of the dining table, on which Cleo had carefully prepared a meal for him.

When Cleo first arrived at the castle, her cooking skills were practically nonexistent, but now they're quite good.

The aroma of the vegetable soup combined with the enticing smell of the roasted meat whetted Chen Changhe's appetite.

The bandit, with a domineering expression, turned his head away and refused to answer.

Chen Changhe snorted coldly, signaling his men to teach him a lesson.

The men immediately understood Chen Changhe's meaning, and they dragged the bandits to a dark corner.

First, they took out a thick, long leather whip and swung it forcefully in the air a few times, producing a crisp and chilling sound.

Then, without any mercy, he lashed out at the bandit's back, each lash whistling through the air and instantly leaving deep, bloody welts on the bandit's back.

The bandits gritted their teeth in pain, but still refused to utter a sound.

So the men tried a different method. They brought a red-hot branding iron and held it close to the bandit's skin. The intense heat made the bandit's skin sizzle, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.

Even so, the bandit gritted his teeth and tried to hold on.

Seeing this, his men tortured him even more, pouring salt water onto his wounds. The excruciating pain was unbearable for the bandits, who let out painful howls.

After much commotion, the bandits finally gave in and began to explain their plan.

It turns out that this gang of thieves was composed of a group of itinerant robbers.

Having heard that Hope Town had a thriving metal manufacturing industry, they planned to take advantage of the situation, loot the town, and then seize this rich land.

Their plan was to first send people infiltrate Hope Town to gather intelligence, and then launch a surprise attack at night to rob the town of its property and kill the residents.

Their leader even fantasized that after occupying Hope Town, he could impersonate Baron Chen Changhe and thus become a nobleman.

"You people are ugly, but you have such beautiful dreams."

After the bandits finished confessing, Chen Changhe had already finished his lunch.

He reached out and took the handkerchief Cleo handed him, wiped his mouth, walked up to the blood-soaked, half-conscious bandit, and kicked him.

He kicked the thief, who groaned and curled up in pain.

"You bunch of rabble, how dare you covet my Hope Town!"

Chen Changhe gave a mocking look.

These bandits coveted the wealth and land of Hope Town, while he coveted their bodies.

According to the prisoner's confession, this group of bandits numbered over five hundred.

Isn't he just a perfect slave sent to him by heaven?
