Chapter 221

Kevin pondered for a while. His eyes gradually brightened, feeling its feasible. Thats a good idea. Although the runes are complex, they do have some patterns. So the fine-tuners wont have to be an apprentice runemaster. Even an ordinary person could do it with some training.

Basic runes only needed to be inscribed with one rune. And runes used in basic equipment were nothing more than the basic runes such as sharp rune and armor rune.

To make this method feasible, one group of people will be responsible for debugging the A rune, while another group will be responsible for debugging the B rune.

If we want to reach 1.000 production targets in a day, how many survivors do we need? And how long do they have to train before theyre ready to work? Tang Yu asked.

Kevin was the pro in this matter, and he certainly wont act like a dictator.

By producing 1.000 pieces of equipment daily, Tang Yu felt he could fulfill the demand from Luoxia Shelter. But its just for a starter.

They would need more than that. Although the existing equipment would be gradually phased out and replaced with an advanced version as their strength increased, that set of equipment was usable for half a month, or even a whole month. So, its not a big problem.

This limited the equipment sale. In Tang Yus heart, he had never thought of equipment as the most profitable commodity.

Consumable items were!

He also had several items such as rune scrolls, spirit powerbombs, and spirit energy crystals that could restore physical strength even if theyre just a consumable item, but it could save someones life in a time of crisis. Which one is more important? Life, or money?

Of course, Tang Yu felt the second was more important,

ahem

, the first. Of course, its the first!

His goal was to empty the hunters wallet. Its for their own good, though. Where else could they spend their money on important things?

But selling items wasnt his top priority for now. By the time the demand for equipment increases, Tang Yu estimated they would have enough trained workers ready to work.

We need around 50 people for the early stages. When theyre already skilled, we only need about 20 deb.u.g.g.e.rs. It took a week of intense training before they could work. If the Lord is in a hurry, it can be done in 3 days, but the inscribed runes quality will only reach 80% at most.

Kevin took out a pencil and sketch it on a piece of paper. In order to train enough competent people in a short time, these people will have to be talented enough.

Talent? We cant find that many people with talent in rune mastery. Tang Yu frowned.

Ah, no its nothing like that. Kevin waved his hands repeatedly. They dont have to be talented in rune mastery. They just need to have some sort of sensitivity to runes. The kind of person that could distinguish between one rune and another. Its also a runemaster trait, but its nothing too advanced, so it would be easier to find them. With the Lords current territory subjects, its possible to gather around 50 people.

Tang Yu nodded.

That wont be a problem.

80% rune quality wasnt that low. And the runes inscribed by Lindong Academy of Sciences couldnt even reach 50%.

Even his own runes could only reach about 90%. After a few days of working, these trainees could reach close to 90%.

Its not because these people were of a higher standard than him, but because the rune main body was inscribed by the rune seal, which was inherently easier.

Even so, this was an industry that will be in close contact with runes. After working for a while, these rune deb.u.g.g.e.rs would be able to grow into a rune apprentice.

With enough education, some of the talented ones could even be runemasters.

After a while, Tang Yu spoke. Ill choose a suitable place for the factory. You will be in charge of manufacturing the equipment. As for the talents screening, Ill let the Munic.i.p.al Affairs Department do it.

Early the next morning.

As usual, after a simple breakfast, Yang Wei went to the open s.p.a.ce by the central square and waited for Group 7 to gather.

For the past week, he had been working in the commercial district construction. He had already gotten used to this life and was already familiar with the other workers in the group.

Soon, 20 handymen from Group 7 had gathered in the open s.p.a.ce, waiting for the group leader to lead them and go about their workload today.

Weird. Why isnt the team leader here yet? As the minutes pa.s.sed by, someone glanced around.

Why rush? Its still 5 minutes away at 7 AM. Someone immediately pointed to the newly built clock tower.

The hour hand pointed at 6:55, just 5 minutes before 7 AM. This was the time they usually started working.

Yang Wei looked around, frowning. No, usually the team leader always arrives early. At least 10 minutes early. Today is the first time hes late.

Probably, he had diarrhea or stomach ache from bad food or something

I dont think so. Yang Wei looked at all the workers gathered in the square. Usually, at this time in the morning, most groups would have already headed to the construction site. But theyre still waiting here like us.

They glanced around and found what he said was true. Most of the group leaders didnt show up

Somethings up.

At exactly 7 oclock, the clock tower chimed.

Ding

.

Signaling the start of a new day.

The adventurers dressed in fine equipment walked out of the territory amidst the envy and admiration from the ordinary survivors eyes.

If one day I could earn some spirit stones a day like a hunter, I wont have to drool over the delicious food in the cafeteria.

Yang Wei longed for it but understood he would never be a hunter in his life.

The shelter had a method that allowed ordinary people to become a hunter, but it cost a huge amount of resources. And its certainly more expensive than just from eating at the cafeteria.

Just then, he saw the leader of Group 7 rus.h.i.+ng towards them.

This mornings work schedule is canceled. The team leader said.

Canceled? But why?

Yang Wei couldnt accept the cruel fact. Even if its just half a day, it would mean that his modest income would shrink by half.

Hey, dont worry about it. The team leader grinned, revealing his broken front tooth. I know what youre worried about. This mornings work schedule is canceled because the shelter is going to give us a test. The test is voluntary, but youll get paid from taking the test so you wont lose your salary today.

Yang Wei was relieved. He didnt have to work, but he wont lose money. He had nothing against partic.i.p.ating in the test. Instead, he was curious about it.

They said this test is for a new job screening. Im not sure about the job, but the salary is very high as far as I know. Its said the salary ranged from half a spirit stone a day to dozens of it. Your life will change drastically if you pa.s.s the test.

Everyones eyes brightened at the news.

All including Yang Wei.

As a skinny handyman, his working efficiency was low, and the salary he got from working a full day wasnt much.

Although he wont starve, eating delicious food was impossible.

It would be nice if he could pa.s.s this test.

But he didnt even know what kind of test it will be.

Yang Weis eyes were gloomy again.
