All People Are Lords: Starting with Heroine Fusion

The tree cutting picked up speed again.

About forty minutes later, five trees had fallen one after another.

The sky had turned deep blue.

Zhao Chi tossed over some cold grilled skewers.

"Old Bu, you hand these out. Give them to the ones who chopped trees."

Old Bu hurried over, picked up the skewers, and distributed them to those Goblins.

The other Goblins watched enviously as they ate.

Zhao Chi said, "You'll have another chance tomorrow. Work hard, and I'll make sure you get enough to eat. Slack off, and you'll not only go hungry, you'll get beaten too. Understood?"

The Goblins nodded one after another.

System notification:

[Your captive "Ta Shi Ge Ga Nu" has increased his obedience to 4: meek and submissive]

[Your captive "Ge Wu Hei La" has increased his obedience to 5: servile and groveling]

[Your captive "Sa Ze Lu Gai" has increased his obedience to 3: unwilling to back down]

[Your captive...]

More than ten Goblins had increased their obedience.

Even the lowest score was now 3.

The Goblin Chieftain's full name was Ta Shi Ge Ga Nu.

How was anyone supposed to say that ridiculous name?

Calling him Old Bu was much easier.

He was going to sell him in a few days anyway. No need to remember his name.

He should fetch a decent price.

Just then, bright voices chatting and laughing drew closer.

Zhao Chi ordered, "Everyone turn away! Sneak a look, and I'll crush your eyes!"

The Goblins shrank back in fright.

They immediately looked outward, not daring to move.

Zhao Chi turned around.

He saw the fair-skinned women approaching one after another.

Their skin seemed to glow.

So this was how fair their bodies were once they had washed clean.

Their delicate skin was pale with a rosy tint.

Their legs were long.

Their thighs were full, the firm, soft flesh swaying slightly with every step, as though gently shaking its head.

Their calves were straight and slender, tapering down to dainty feet.

Although the data for their skin, legs, and feet had all come from Elves, there was more to it than that.

They had not simply copied the Elves' features wholesale.

Instead, they combined the best qualities of Elves and humans.

Elves could not achieve this effect.

Elves were too thin.

Their proportions were also different from humans', rather like those stretched photos posted by online influencers.

So although Elves looked better than ordinary humans in some respects, they could not compare to these Peach Haven Human women.

He could not see the rest of their bodies.

They were all wrapped in bath towels.

They were covered up even more than they had been during the battle.

Gu Qing walked over.

Her towel was wrapped very low.

It looked like she was wearing a low-cut camisole.

With every step, her breasts swayed and bounced.

"My lord, have they been behaving?"

The moment Gu Qing spoke, every Goblin shuddered.

The terror she had inspired still lingered.

"Well enough. They felled five trees. Once we make more tools for them tomorrow, we should be able to clear the surrounding area quickly."

Gu Qing nodded. "Yes. We talked it over while we were bathing. Everyone will work overtime tonight, taking turns in the three workshops so we can make tools and clothes as quickly as possible."

There were currently only three professional craftspeople.

But ordinary villagers could also produce things in the workshops.

They simply received no bonuses.

Zhao Chi said, "You don't have to push yourselves. Get a good night's sleep and recover your energy so you can work properly tomorrow."

Gu Qing smiled. "It's only seven. It's still early. We've only just started building the territory, so a little hard work is no big deal. Everyone understands."

Zhao Chi nodded. "All right. Thank you all for your hard work."

Gu Qing said gently, "You don't have to keep saying that. Everyone really likes it here. We'll all work hard together to build our home."

Chapter 30: The First Night

The Carpentry Shop, Blacksmith Shop, and Tailor Shop.

They were all buildings provided by the system.

Once built, they came equipped with the appropriate workbenches and tools.

Furnaces, anvils, cutting tables, looms, sawing benches, and so on.

They were fully equipped.

A small workshop could accommodate five people crafting at once.

At a stretch, it could fit up to ten, though it would be very cramped.

Tonight, the female villagers had decided to work overtime until midnight before resting.

There would be new tools to use tomorrow.

They would also be able to provide clothes directly to newly arrived villagers.

Zhao Chi was chopping a tree with all his strength.

Visibility was poor at night, but chopping trees did not require much light.

One torch was enough.

Gu Qing chopped alongside Zhao Chi.

Apart from cooking, which interested her, she had no interest in forging or sewing.

Tang Ruan, on the other hand, really enjoyed sewing and mending.

Her fingers were nimble, and she was very good at sewing clothes.

If he did not have her change her class to soldier, she would certainly become a tailor.

The Goblins had to work too.

There were three axes left, and the Goblins continued taking turns chopping trees.

With both Zhao Chi and Gu Qing present, they did not dare slack off at all.

They were so exhausted they were on the verge of tears.

Gu Qing was strong and generally needed only a few minutes to chop down a stalk of bamboo.

A tree as thick as the mouth of a bowl took her only ten minutes.

But a tree as thick as a person's waist took longer.

Zhao Chi was a little slower, but still much faster than the Goblins.

These trees had all been randomly generated using allocation points.

Their thicknesses and species varied.

But none were fruit trees.

By midnight, the Goblins had collapsed on the ground, unwilling to move a muscle.

Gu Qing's arms were sore and weak too.

Her attributes might have been good, but they had their limits.

No matter how strong someone was, chopping trees at full strength would tire them out. By the end, she could no longer swing her axe either.

Her arms hung limply at her sides. "Oh, my lord, how come you don't seem tired?"

Zhao Chi raised his trembling arm. "Look how badly I'm shaking. I'm exhausted too."

Gu Qing smiled. "Come on, let's get some rest. We'll carry on tomorrow."

Zhao Chi nodded.

He had Old Bu lead the others to fetch their dirty blankets and cover themselves up to rest.

They were only Goblins. Sleeping in the open would do.

But the female villagers could not sleep outdoors.
