Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 351: Craftsman’s spiritual enlightenment, a talent for life! (6400)

Hearing the village chief's solemn instructions, the other villagers also nodded.

In fact, they didn't even dare to have any unnecessary thoughts, let alone offend.

Before this, the villagers of Puteng Village basically lived in their own small villages.

They have also heard about what kind of life the separated villagers live.

In the new environment, being out of tune with others, being excluded and bullied are the least of the problems.

In serious cases, one may even lose his life.

In addition, some lords had strange tempers and would often beat or abuse people if they were not satisfied.

Some lords with strange quirks would even conduct some inhumane experiments on these civilians!

Many civilians chose to take their own lives because they could not endure this torture.

And this time, their lord is said to be a chosen lord.

These villagers have no idea about the Lord chosen by Heaven or God.

All they knew was that being able to move the whole family to a new place was something they could not even dream of.

Even if this lord is a little harsh and has a strange personality, they can only endure it silently.

At this moment, the old village chief Zelko saw an imposing figure walking towards him.

He was about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a wizard's robe that looked like white silk, and he exuded an astonishing coldness.

They had a completely different temperament from the nobles and knights he had seen before.

Next to them were two little princesses, one big and one small, who looked like they came out of a fairy tale.

Her perfect face and fair skin that seemed as delicate as a baby's instantly attracted the attention of a group of young boys and girls in Putian Village.

As the saying goes, old people become wiser. Zelko has lived for most of his life and has long since mastered the ability to judge people.

Therefore, he instantly judged that this person was their lord.

Before Cao Xing arrived.

Zelko quickly glanced around and whispered, "Everyone get ready, this is our new lord."

The villagers all looked stern, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

At this moment, the village chief seemed to remember something, and he hurriedly asked, "By the way, where are those two guys, Saler and Bodi?"

After hearing this, the villagers shook their heads.

As the three figures in front were getting closer and closer.

The old village chief didn't have time to think so much at this time. He hurriedly led all the villagers to wait respectfully in place.

After Cao Xing arrived, the old village chief came straight up to him and knelt down.

"This powerful and handsome lord."

"I am the village chief Zelko. On behalf of all the villagers of the former Grapevine Village, I welcome your return."

"Your wisdom will lead us to prosperity, and your strength will lead us to overcome all difficulties."

The old village chief came up and started with a bunch of nice words.

He crawled on the ground, resting his forehead on Cao Xing's boots, getting as low as possible.

Cao Xing did not say anything, but looked at the more than 200 figures kneeling on the ground in front of him with a frown.

"Didn't Cao Yi tell you about the rules of this territory?"

Zelko raised his head, and a look of doubt appeared on his weathered old face.

"Um... rules?" He seemed confused.

Cao Xing said directly: "Except for those who have made mistakes, you don't need to kneel when you see the lord, you just need to bow."

Hearing this, Zelko was stunned.

He thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Master Cao did tell us..."

Cao Xing's eyes widened immediately, "Then why are you still standing there? Get up."

Hearing Cao Xing's serious voice, hundreds of villagers on the field trembled all over and their faces turned pale as paper!

The old village chief Zelko stood up almost subconsciously.

As he stood up, others also stood up.

"Crash!"

More than 200 people from the entire Putian Village stood there, some taller and some shorter.

They were all kneeling on the ground before, so Cao Xing couldn't see clearly.

Only now do I realize that these people are really thin!

They are all as skinny as skeletons.

The old village chief had sunken cheeks and prominent cheekbones, like rugged rocks polished by time. His hands were bony, with protruding joints, like dry branches.

Others looked like chronically malnourished refugees, their bodies so thin that they looked as if they could be blown away by a breeze.

In addition, he also noticed that many people here came with their families.

There are also many children among them.

There are children ranging from three or four years old to toddlers of seven or eight years old.

However, like their parents, they all had pale faces and thin bodies.

Obviously, this is caused by long-term hunger and malnutrition.

In this world, being able to survive and grow up is good enough, and there is no way to consider other nutritional issues.

These children all looked nervous and looked down at their feet.

But he couldn't help but look at Tong Chuchu and Elisa.

As children of the same age, it was the first time they saw such a beautiful girl.

Their skin is so fair and their faces are so delicate, like fairies in the sky, and their clothes are also bright and beautiful.

Compared with them, these two little girls are simply from a different world!
This also makes the children in Putian Village very envious.

They have also fantasized time and again about being able to wear such beautiful clothes like these two little girls.

However, they only dared to think about it and did not dare to act rashly.

After all, these children can feel that although these two little girls are beautiful, they are also very dangerous!

Even the little girl, who was only five or six years old, had an aura that made them terrified!
Facing the uneasy villagers of Puteng Village.

Cao Xing didn't say anything to comfort him.

He knew that these villagers had just arrived in a new environment and it would take them some time to adapt.

So, he said directly: "You should know the specific situation."

"I am the lord here, and my territory is currently short of manpower."

"It just so happens that I have some relationship with Baron Fitz Walker, so he arranged for you to be in my territory."

"From today on, you will serve me."

"Any questions?"

Village Chief Zelko was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said, "It is our honor to work in your great territory!"

The old village chief agreed very readily.

After a pause, he continued, "My dear Lord, we will all work for you wholeheartedly from now on."

"Besides that, do you have any other requests for us?"

"Require?"

"For example, how long do we need to work every day, or how much work do we need to complete..."

Cao Xing shook his head. "Don't ask for too much. Just do your best."

"As for whether you will be lazy, other staff will supervise you."

"Do you have any other questions?"

After hearing this, Village Chief Zelko said in bewilderment: "No...no more..."

The other villagers also looked confused.

They thought that after seeing them, the lord would make things difficult for them and then assign them some hard work.

But it seems that the other party doesn't have such thoughts?
For a moment, no one could understand the temper of this chosen lord.

Just as Cao Xing was preparing to recruit them all into his territory, he suddenly felt some movement above his head.

There was a noise on the eaves of the high-end residential area above.

Then, two figures fell directly from above.

And the place where he fell was the little girl of four or five years old who was next to the lord!

This sudden scene left the villagers present at a loss at first.

Then a look of extreme horror appeared in his eyes!

However, the situation happened too suddenly and the villagers had no time to react.

Just when the two figures were about to hit Tong Chuchu on the head.

Elisa saw the opportunity quickly, grabbed Tong Chuchu's arm and pulled her over.

Cao Xing's reaction was equally quick, he raised his staff directly.

An ice wall appeared out of nowhere and lifted up the two figures that were about to fall to the ground.

"Ouch!"

With a scream, two thin figures slid down from the ice wall and sat down on the ground.

But there was no harm.

The two people who fell down covered their buttocks, looking terrified.

They looked to be two children about thirteen or fourteen years old, and were also very thin.

At this time, after seeing their faces clearly, the villagers were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies became stiff!
Zelko rushed over almost immediately, grabbed the two children's arms, and asked in a trembling voice!

"Saler, Bodie! What are you doing!?"

In this temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero, a layer of cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

Everyone could see that the two girls beside the lord were definitely important people around him.

If anything goes wrong, the entire village will lose their lives!
The two children were so frightened by the village chief's roar that they trembled all over.

At this point they came to their senses and realized that they were in trouble, and a big trouble!
He quickly got up from the ground and apologized hurriedly: "I'm sorry! Village Chief!"

The old village chief didn't care about anything else at this time. He just grabbed their shoulders and pushed the two children in front of Cao Xing.

"Hurry up and apologize to this lord and the girl beside him, quickly!"

The two children were also frightened. They came to Elisa and Tong Chuchu like puppets.

Then he knelt down directly.

"I'm sorry! Respected Lord, and this respected lady, please forgive us for our recklessness and for offending you!"

Elisa and Tong Chuchu held each other's hands and looked at Cao Xing with confused faces.

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly froze and everyone held their breath.

Including the two children on the ground, their bodies were shaking constantly.

Everyone couldn't help but glance at the lord, waiting for his judgment.

It can be said that the lives of almost all the villagers are in the hands of this young man!

Cao Xing didn't say anything. He could see that although the old village chief was scolding the two children, he was actually protecting them.

If they were in other territories and encountered some lords with bad tempers, the actions of these two children just now would be enough to make them lose their lives.

In serious cases, it may even implicate an entire village.

This is why they are so afraid.

Cao Xing waved his hand and said, "Get up first. Remember to be more careful next time and don't climb so high."

"If you fall, you'll break your bones."

The high-level shelter is twelve meters high. If these two little guys fall from such a height, breaking their legs would be the least of their worries given their physical fitness.

Hearing this, the depressing atmosphere on the field suddenly stagnated.

Everyone's expression changed from horror and fear to confusion.

It seemed that with the words of this adult, an impending storm was instantly eliminated.

All the villagers in Puteng Village are still in a daze.

Tong Chuchu beside him said, "Stand up, don't keep kneeling on the ground, or big brother will be angry!"

"I don't blame you. You didn't hit me."

"Don't worry, big brother won't punish you."

Tong Chuchu's innocent words rang out.

It also made the villagers of Puteng Village all breathe a sigh of relief.

The two children who had made mistakes stood up from the ground in a trance, as if they were dreaming.

The old village chief Zelko also came back to his senses. He said gratefully: "You are such a kind lord. May the goddess bless you."

"And this beautiful lady, you are as pure and kind as the stars in the sky." Including the more than 200 villagers in the back, their eyes were full of gratitude when they looked at Cao Xing and Tong Chuchu!

Cao Xing shook his head and said nothing more.

Recruitment invitations were directly issued to them.

The next moment, a system prompt appears.

[Recruitment successful: Villagers Zelko/Abu/Betsy/Anfinson... have joined your territory, and the territory population +237...]

...

There are more than two hundred people in total, all ordinary creatures.

The population of Cao Xing's territory increased by more than two hundred again.

After the last big increase, his population had already exceeded one thousand.

The majority of them, naturally, are the combatants.

An elite creature takes up 2 populations, a boss takes up 3, and so on...

He took a look at the population of his territory.

[Territory population: 1462/3000]

"It's OK. The population limit is still sufficient for now."

"Now, every time the lord's mansion is upgraded by one level, it can increase the population by 1. When it reaches level 1000, it will have a population of 10."

Then, Cao Xing took another look at the attributes of these newcomers.

[Chief of Grapevine Village: Zelko]

[Level: Level 9 (First-order ordinary creature)]

[HP: 540/883 (Blessing of the Pale Tree)]

[Attack power: 47~49]

[Skill: None]

[Life Skills: Intermediate Management Proficiency (with rich management experience, can quickly and reasonably allocate work, coordinate the relationship between the people, and at the same time improve the morale of the friendly parties)

Intermediate Planting Mastery (with rich planting experience, improve the survival rate of crops by 20% and increase crop yield by 10%)

Advanced Brewing Mastery (possessing a large amount of brewing knowledge, the success rate of brewing advanced liquor can be increased by 30%, and there is a certain probability that the brewed liquor will be improved by one level)]

[Talent: None]

[Status: Frost rot (a disease caused by long-term living in polar environments, absorbing a large amount of cold air, and malnutrition. The initial symptoms are a decline in physical fitness and a continuous decrease in the upper limit of health points;
In the middle stage, the internal organs will also be affected, their functions will decline, breathing will become difficult, the heart will become weak, and eventually death will occur.

[Satiety: 52]

【Loyalty: 67】

...

[Villager: Luger]

[Level: Level 7 (First-order ordinary creature)]

[HP: 323/523 (Blessing of the Pale Tree)]

[Attack power: 24~38]

[Skill: None]

[Life skills: Primary planting proficiency, primary brewing proficiency]

【Condition: Frost rot】

[Satiety: 53]

【Loyalty: 66】

...

A hint of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

Unexpectedly, this village chief is actually a rare high-level talent.

That advanced winemaking technology is amazing. It directly increases the success rate by 30% and also has a certain probability of improving the quality of the wine.

You know, when brewing ordinary liquor, there is basically no chance of failure.

But it’s different with high-end liquors.

This kind of high-end liquor requires extremely high-end materials, and the brewing process is many times more complicated.

If one step goes wrong, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

Therefore, a 30% success rate is still very strong.

As for the subsequent effects, improving quality...

I happened to have a [Dream Magic Wine Recipe] in my hand, which is a magic wine of golden quality.

Will it be possible that after raising a quality level, it will turn into orange, which is epic quality?

Thinking of this, Cao Xing became a little excited.

However, in order to brew [Dream Magic Wine], you not only need to collect materials, but also need an [Advanced Brewing Workshop].

It will take some more time to prepare.

In addition to the village chief, he also discovered that the villagers of Putian Village all had some skills to a greater or lesser extent.

Of course, most of them are [Basic Planting Mastery].

Through their names, Cao Xing also knew that the villagers in this village used to make a living by growing a kind of winter grape.

So it’s not surprising that he has [Planting Mastery].

Cao Xing pondered, "The quality of this group of villagers is quite high. If so many of them are proficient in planting, we can let them specialize in cultivating crops."

"It's just right that after a while, my first batch of Kulin barley and Hanlu rice will mature, and the farmland area can be prepared for expansion."

The animal husbandry in his territory has now shown some signs of improvement.

Agriculture is just getting started.

If these villagers use them well, they can bring a lot of benefits to Cao Xing.

Of course, he also noticed that these villagers seemed to have a disease called Frost Rot.

According to the system, this disease is caused by long-term malnutrition, coupled with long-term inhalation of cold air, which causes the cold air to invade the internal organs.

Villagers who suffer from this disease basically don't live long.

But fortunately, this is not some kind of infectious disease, so there is no need to worry about other people in the territory being infected.

Cao Xing continued to ponder, "My Cloud Yak Milk can cure some hidden diseases."

“It should also work for these frost rots.”

"But let's forget about it for now. Let's cultivate their loyalty for a while and wait until they make contributions."

Although Cao Xing did not like the feudal rules of nobles and commoners, he was not a saint.

It is impossible to spend a lot of resources to treat patients just because we see them.

If that were the case, there would be too many sick people in this world and it would be impossible to save them all.

Cao Xing's eyes swept across these villagers one by one.

He wanted to see if there were any other talented people.

Then, his gaze fell on the two little children in the crowd.

It was the little guy who just fell from the roof.

[Villager of Putian Village: Saler]

[Level: Level 6 (First-order ordinary creature)]

[HP: 462/568 (Blessing of the Pale Tree)]

[Attack power: 31~35]

[Combat skills: none]

[Life Skills: Primary Planting Mastery]

[Talent: Craftsman's Insight (Born with a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge about various crafts, when learning various life skills, the learning speed is accelerated by 30%)]

【Condition: Frost rot】

[Satiety: 53]

【Loyalty: 66】

...

Including the other child named Bodie, he also has the talent of [Craftsman’s Insight].

Surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes again.

"Is there such a talent that can greatly speed up the learning of life skills?"

"These two little guys are really rare talents!"

Talent and skill are different.

【Talent】 is innate, something you are born with.

Generally speaking, talent grows as one continues to grow.

In addition, as the growth process progresses, the blood power in the body will be activated and new talents will be discovered, such as Volibear's [Blood of Behemoth].

Of course, there are some special cases, such as the Dragon Blood Fighter, whose body has the blood of other races integrated, which will also activate new talents.

However, [Skills] and [Life Skills] are all acquired through hard study and practice.

Therefore, a person with talent is actually more precious than a person with advanced skills.

After all, one is innate and the other is acquired through practice.

When Cao Xing saw the talent of [Craftsman's Insight], he knew that these two children would become good talents in life in the future.

For example, forging, refining medicine, painting and so on.

After thinking for a while, Cao Xing decided to send the child to a blacksmith shop to learn forging techniques.

With their talents, it won't take long for them to become blacksmith apprentices or even junior blacksmiths.

It just so happened that Harold was quite busy at work, so he could ask these two kids to go over and help out.

So Cao Xing shouted directly: "You two, come here."

Hearing the sound, the two children turned pale with fright.

Including the villagers, their faces changed.

They thought that the lord had changed his mind and was suddenly going to punish them, and they were all scared out of their wits.

But Cao Xing smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to punish you. I just want to ask you a few questions."

Hearing this, everyone on the field breathed a sigh of relief again.

"What were you doing when you climbed onto the roof just now?"

These two children don't seem to be that naughty.

The child named Sale replied, "Dear Lord, we just climbed onto the roof to see how this house was built."

"In our Grapevine Village, there have never been such tall houses, so I was very curious."

Bodie next to him also agreed: "Yes, yes, we also want to build a big house like this in the future for our parents to live in!"

After hearing this, Cao Xing nodded slightly.

As expected, he is a being with the gift of [Craftsman's Insight] and is curious about this world and the basic structures of some buildings.

If they were placed on Blue Star, these two children might become masters in mathematics or physics in the future.

Cao Xing continued: "You two are pretty good."

"I am in need of two blacksmith apprentices in my territory now. Are you interested in learning forging?"

The fear in the two children's eyes disappeared and gradually turned into confusion.

"forging?"

"Yes, it's ironwork."

After hearing this, the two children remained silent.

Their parents were already saying excitedly: "Saler, Bodie, hurry up and agree to the Lord!"

"This is your chance, both of you. Hurry up and say yes!"

They seemed more excited than their own children.

Including the old village chief and other villagers, they all looked at the two children excitedly.

And they also reacted, and replied without hesitation: "We are willing! Respected Lord!"

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Very good, your choice is very wise."

At this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The old village chief could hardly hold back his tears at this moment, and said with emotion: "That's great, our Grapevine Village is going to produce a blacksmith, and we no longer have to grow grapes from generation to generation..."

"Very good……"
