Xiao He: "Please select employees."
Another dialog box popped up, displaying a list of names, including: Tian Man, Luo Liuzi, Chen Quanquan, Old Chen's family...
Song Xiaozhu asked, "I choose..."
What impact will this have on them?
Xiao He: "No."
Song Xiaozhu called out Tian Man's name.
Xiao He: "Designated employee: Tian Man, designated recipe: [ Raw Wood Material ], confirm generating Employee Recipe?"
Song Xiaozhu: "Confirmed."
A flash of white mist appeared, and in no time, a Xiaoxiao white card emerged on the Workbench.
Song Xiaozhu picked it up. It had a very smooth texture, as thin as paper, but with the feel of hard iron. It had neat lettering and a slightly raised button printed on it.
Recipe name: Raw Wood Material.
Designated employee: Tian Man.
Materials needed: Any wooden products.
Success rate: 1-99%.
Song Xiaozhu examined the card for a while before asking, "Can Tian Man synthesize [ Raw Wood Material ] just by having this?"
Xiao He: "We also need to provide employees with dedicated backpacks."
Song Xiaozhu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked again, "Where are the employee backpacks?"
Xiao He: "The recipe is not unlocked."
Song Xiaozhu swiped her finger back to the "Recipe" section. She looked through the various categories and finally settled on the "Infrastructure" section.
There are four unlocked recipes here.
Is this where the employee-only backpacks are located?
She tried asking Xiao He.
Xiao He muted his microphone.
Song Xiaozhu was already very pleasantly surprised.
After unlocking the new recipe, she was struggling with the enormous amount of [ Raw Material ], when unexpectedly, the " Employee Recipe " appeared.
It's a pity there are only two recipe slots, and I don't know how much capacity the employees have in their backpacks.
Hopefully, it's big enough!

Xiao Tong is fighting on the front lines.
Although he was the only son of Liu Xuangang and Xiao Yunjie, neither Xiao Yunjie nor Liu Xuangang protected him in the village. Instead, at the first moment of the beast tide, they arranged for him to lead the charge and be the first to reach the trap set by Xiao Yunjie.
Xiao Tong's team consisted of the village's most valiant and skilled Hunter, and he himself was a true " Hunter."
At this moment, he was completely transformed into a beast, with jet-black fur around his ears, his hands turning into sharp claws, and the muscles in his calves taut. He was like a black panther, pouncing on the Polluted Beast. His steel blade fell and slashed hard at the Polluted Beast's neck.
Blood gushed out, and the Hunter following behind him fearlessly rushed forward, systematically surrounding and eliminating the Polluted Beast.
Xiao Tong turned to another Polluted Beast. He was extremely fast, and his eyesight was enhanced due to his beast transformation. He was about to make a precise and swift attack, but in a moment of distraction... he was knocked away.
"Captain Xiao!"
The crowd gasped in surprise.
Xiao Tong's pupils contracted sharply, almost thinking he was seeing things.
That's... a person?
Humans standing atop a giant Polluted Beast!!
Chapter 71
A sharp pain struck. Xiao Tong, who had been thrown back by the Polluted Beast, saw only a blood-red blur before his eyes. When he tried to focus his gaze, he could no longer see the slender figure.
Is it just an illusion?
Was it just his imagination?
Xiao Tong lost consciousness.
The Hunter around him called his name anxiously, their hands trembling as they pulled anti-inflammatory pills from their pockets and fed them to him.
Someone even took out hemostatic powder and bandaged his wound.
The awful smell and excruciating pain caused Xiao Tong's nerves to twitch, but he showed no sign of waking up.
The Hunter in the squad felt a chill run down their spines, realizing that the injury was more serious than they had imagined.
"Take the team leader back to the village and see Master Bai!"
"Clear!"
The news was quickly received at the camp. Xiao Yunjie rushed out and turned pale when she saw her unconscious son.
She remained calm and composed, asking, "What unexpected event has occurred ahead?"
The Hunter quickly responded to the situation. They hadn't seen a "human figure" and assumed that Xiao Tong was exhausted and had made a mistake, which was why he was knocked away by the Polluted Beast.
At this point, the Hunter couldn't help but feel guilty, regretting that they hadn't noticed Xiao Tong's fatigue and hadn't advised him to step back and rest for a while.
Knowing that there was no further trouble ahead, Xiao Yunjie said softly, "Go ahead, Master Bai is at the temple."
His voice was calm, but his hands, hidden beneath his sleeves, trembled slightly.
Xiao Tong's injuries were severe.
Even the hemostatic powder couldn't stop the raging wound.
I'm afraid...
Xiao Yunjie clenched her fists.
Song Xiaozhu had just stepped out of the tent. She had a general understanding of the level 3 Workbench, and the three new recipes she had unlocked were still missing important Raw Material, especially sulfur—the yellow [ Medicinal Raw Material ].
Only by finding enough yellow [ Medicinal Raw Material ] can she mass-produce gunpowder.
Even without using gunpowder to make grenades and repeating crossbow bolts, simply placing it in traps would still be quite lethal.
I'm sure Xiao Yunjie will be able to make good use of this gunpowder.
There are also various Raw Material. With the opening of advanced recipes, the consumption of Raw Material has increased exponentially. Song Xiaozhu's stock is almost exhausted, while Liu Family Village only has a large amount of Raw Stone Material and Iron Raw Material that are almost depleted. Other materials such as Medicinal Raw Material and Raw Wood Material are completely unavailable.
Given the current situation, the villagers dare not leave the village and cannot go to the Garbage Mountain to collect garbage, so Song Xiaozhu's [crude oil] has no way to be obtained.
[ Cloth Raw Material ] and Energy Fragment can be obtained from the Polluted Beast, but if the beast tide continues, they will not be able to leave the village, and it will be troublesome when the resources run out.
Synthesizer, after all, are not created out of thin air.
Without Medicinal Raw Material, Raw Wood Material, and crude oil, even the most skilled cook cannot make a meal without ingredients.
Therefore, we need to go out and explore.
