Sujene led everyone to hold a funeral for the soldiers and villagers who had sacrificed their lives.
It was simple yet solemn.
The crowd felt sorrow, regret, and nostalgia for their passing.
But there was no fear for future battles.
After all, this was a game world.
The indigenous people here were system generated characters.
When the natives died for the players, the system acknowledged it, granting them contribution points.
The higher the contribution points, the better their starting attributes would be upon respawning, which could mean stronger attributes or better backgrounds.
Nevertheless, this funeral left a deep impression on the villagers.
Some were moved while others felt a sense of emotion.
After the funeral, Sue Gene saw the system display, indicating an increase of one point in public sentiment.
After arranging the night watch, Su Jeene allowed everyone to rest.
CMA, Dong Chun, Chun Ran, and Yaoing had relatively minor injuries.
They took turns keeping watch with each person on duty for two hours.
Zhuing had already woken up but looked unwell.
Sujene gave her all the pills, asking her to recover well before treating the injured.
Zhuing pretended to complain.
Senior brother, you really don't treat me like a person.
How will you compensate me? Sujene apologized.
It's my fault.
I'm sorry for making you work so hard.
But several people are on the brink of life and death, and the recovery effect of the injury pills isn't great for severe injuries, while herbs are even worse.
For now, I can only trouble you a bit.
Zuing looked at Su Jyn's haggarded face and his apologetic expression, feeling a bit regretful about her earlier fain complaint.
She knew Sujene was also exhausted, holding on until now without resting.
Zhu Ting smiled wearily and said, "Silly senior brother, I was just being playful.
The effort should depend on who it's for.
When you give it to the right person, even if your body is tired, your heart will be very satisfied.
Sujene said nothing, feeling the weight of responsibility heavier.
The next day, Sujene got up very late.
Zhuing was still fast asleep.
After taking a stimulant pill last night, she had used her healing skills several times.
All the severely injured had recovered to minor injuries.
Sujene helped cover her with a blanket.
Zhuing s armor and outfit were thrown on the ground.
Sujene picked up the leather armor set and placed it neatly.
He also collected the stockings, shirt, and skirt which were covered in dirt, blood, and sweat and smelled unpleasant.
Sujene took them to the well to wash.
Usually, it was Zhu Ting who helped Su Jeene wash clothes, but this time he washed them for her as a small gesture of care and compensation.
Shinran saw this and asked, "My lord, what are you washing? Do you need my help? Sully to interop.
Dongchan noticed and said, "Oh, my lord, is that enough? I could bring my sister's clothes for you.
" Haha.
Shinz Jing remarked, "My lord, you are such a considerate man.
I will tell the other sisters.
" Haha.
Yaoqing passed by and said, "My lord, I it's nothing.
What's wrong? Aren't I washing them pretty clean?" Sujene rung out the water and hung them up to dry.
Today, 10 new villagers with average attributes had already started working.
The wooden houses were under construction and half of the thatched houses had been replaced.
The number of warehouses had increased to five, storing different types of materials, semi-finish products, and food in separate warehouses.
The herbal shop and kitchen were also under construction and would be completed soon.
The oil workshop had already been built.
The oil workshop could extract or produce oil products.
It could refine edible oil equipped with oil refining equipment and had two sets for edible and industrial use.
Sugene had previously set the kerosene blueprint as a territory technology.
As long as there were raw materials, kerosene could now be produced directly.
Sugene designated two villagers as traininey oil refiners.
There were some inedible meat types that they could use for practice to improve their occupational skills.
Once they officially became junior oil refiners, they could then produce edible oil since it was food that would be consumed.
It would be too troublesome if it caused food poisoning.
There were currently 79 people in the village, including two marshall generals, six female private soldiers, and 12 female militia members, plus 17 captives.
Although the proportion of combat personnel was as high as 1/4, Sugene still felt the need to expand combat strength.
The workers in the village were mainly young and strong males providing ample productivity.
If only seeking basic sustenance, it would be sufficient.
Sugene decided to engage in some militaristic expansion.
Enro transitioned to a female private soldier.
Her physique and strength were average with no advantage in close combat, but her agility and intelligence were decent, making her suitable for development as a range support character.
Sugene set her skill level to archery 10.
The 11 women rescued yesterday all had good attributes and could transition to female militia members.
With this, the vill's armed forces were strengthened.
Two marshall generals, seven female private soldiers, and 23 female militia members.
With the increase in soldiers, the number of positions that could be set also increased.
Sujene would be the captain, able to lead 50 people.
Zhu Ting, Xiao Bai, and Shin Jing would be squad leaders able to lead 10 people.
Ci, Dong Chun, Chunan, Yaoqing, and Enro would be team leaders able to lead five people.
The other female militia members would be regular soldiers.
The proportion of combat personnel had now reached 39, which was quite high.
Fortunately, the current number was small.
With the addition of 10 refugees tomorrow, the soldier ratio could be reduced to 34.
The village required about 150 kg of food daily.
The villagers worked hard and the female soldiers trained diligently so everyone had a large appetite leading to high food demand.
Coupled with other consumption, the supply pressure was significant.
Therefore, the captives would not be given food allowing them to feel hunger and reducing the risk of rebellion.
Two benefits in one.
The 17 captured robbers were tied up in the warehouse under CMA's watch.
From a distance, one could hear the noisy sounds.
The captives were loudly begging for mercy.
Only Chon Shan Lang hung his head in silence in the corner.
Grandma, I am really being forced.
I'm also a commoner.
Please let me go.
Fairy, I have money hidden outside.
If you let me go, I will tell you where it is.
I'm not a human.
I really am not a human.
Can you just let me go? I haven't he done anything bad.
I am just deceived.
S ignored them and focused on practicing her swordsmanship.
When she saw Su Jeene approaching, she sheathed her sword and greeted him.
Greetings, my lord.
