Lin Tian had already sharpened the dagger. Mary took the dagger and unsheathed it. She held it in her hand and twirled it, performing a few slashes. Her eyes curved with joy.
Lin Tian gave Wendy one dagger, but he gave her two. She was overjoyed.
“Thank you, master. I will protect you well.”
“Okay, rest early. We will go to the construction site together tomorrow.”
“Okay!” Mary nodded obediently.
The next day, after breakfast, Lin Tian left the castle with the two cat-eared ladies. There were many things to deal with in his territory.
Besides Carl, another businessman came. This man’s wealth was almost equal to Carl’s and he bought some items with 100 gold coins.
The daily expenses aside, Lin Tian still had more than 300 gold coins. He decided to hire someone who knew how to settle accounts. Now, he was the one who settled the wages every day, and it would take him about an hour each time. In his territory, there were too few talents, and those who could read were even rarer.
Walking to the construction site, Lin Tian started the livestream.
[Good morning, streamer!]
[Every time I see that handsome face, I feel that life is wonderful!]
The people in the livestream greeted Lin Tian one after another. Then, when they saw the two cat-eared ladies, the comments immediately changed!
[Two cat-eared ladies?]
[Oh my God, they really are two cat-eared ladies, and they look exactly the same!]
[Are they twins?]
[Oh my God, my nose is bleeding!]
[I really want to switch places with the streamer!]
Jenny had been taking care of Mary for the past few days and had not been following Lin Tian. Many of the viewers in the livestream had been longing to see the cat-eared lady. Who knew that two cat-eared ladies would appear! The two cat-eared ladies looked exactly the same, aside from their hairstyles and eye colors! The lethality was huge!
Lin Tian’s livestream was extremely lively, and the construction site was also bustling with activity. Lin Tian had offered them overtime pay, one copper coin every two hours, so many people set up tents outside the construction site and lived there, working 12 hours a day. They did not work longer hours because this was the maximum working time that Lin Tian had set.
In order to avoid dirty and messy work, Lin Tian had specially built toilets for them, strictly requiring them to pay attention to hygiene and not to litter, or else their wages would be deducted. At the same time, he had also sent a patrol team to monitor them. Although he really wanted to finish the construction as soon as possible, he did not want the tribe to be in a mess.
Tauren John had also arrived, but the viewers in the livestream did not pay attention to him. They were all looking at the cat-eared ladies. However, the automatic cameras did not care what the viewers wanted to see and only filmed the cat-eared ladies once or twice.
[Ah ah ah! Streamer, give me a few more scenes of the cat-eared ladies!]
[Streamer, give the cat-eared ladies a few more scenes! Don’t make me kneel down and beg you!]
[+ 10086.]
The viewers were going crazy.
[Cutie Cat-eared Lady gave the streamer a Ferrari!]
[Comment: One scene for one Ferrari!]
[Idiosyncratic Pig gave the streamer a cloud-piercing arrow!]
[Comment: One scene for one cloud-piercing arrow!]
[Waiter Not Mistress sent a cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!]
The special effects flew all over the place in the livestream in an attempt to beg for more scenes of the cat-eared ladies.
At the construction site, when the workers saw Lin Tian, they greeted him one after another.
“Hello, Lord.”
“Diana, come over here for a moment.” Lin Tian called out to a few people.
These few people were all appointed by him and had been in charge of supervising the workers in different areas. Diana had the most authority because she was more responsible. Usually, she and the clerk would calculate everyones’ wages and would give them to Lin Tian so that he could distribute them. Otherwise, an hour was not enough to settle their wages.
“Lord!” A few people walked over.
Lin Tian said, “The few of you, ask around and find people who know how to do accounting. Then, gather all the literate people over.”
“Yes.” Diana led the few supervisors to inquire.
Lin Tian brought the two cat-eared ladies and began to patrol the construction site. He came here every day, and as a result, these workers did not dare to slack off and were very serious with their work. The people in the livestream also enjoyed the update regarding the progress of the city building every day.
Now, the city wall had been built. Using half of his workers, Lin Tian planned to add another two to three meters at the top.
There were also many scaffoldings at the bottom of the city wall. These scaffoldings were bought by Lin Tian from Moujing. For the people in this world, this was their first time seeing a scaffolding, and they were all amazed by its existence.
Now, in Lin Tian’s tribe, everyone greatly admired Lin Tian. This was because Lin Tian was a respected mage, and he could always provide many new and useful things. Moreover, every item was something they had never seen or heard of.
For example, brightly colored toys. The children at home especially liked them, as well as biscuits, chicken drumsticks, and so on. They were all delicacies, and there were also some daily necessities.
Of course, what they did not know was that there were many more good items that had yet to be brought out by Lin Tian. This was because there were too few people in the territory, and they were too poor, so they did not have much purchasing power.
In short, Lin Tian’s prestige in the territory was getting higher and higher. Lin Tian realized that the reputation used for the lottery was a comprehensive one. It included both the reputation brought by the popularity of the livestream and his reputation in the territory. Moreover, his reputation in the territory had a higher weightage.
The reputation needed for the lottery draw continued to increase. However, Lin Tian had won another lottery draw a few days ago, and the rewards were very good. This time, he drew an intermediate archery skill, but there was only one reward. Lin Tian’s archery skill had finally been upgraded from beginner to Intermediate.
[Ah, cat-eared lady, you’re finally here!]
[Crazily touching the screen!]
[Cutie Cat-eared Lady sent a Ferrari to the streamer!]
[Comment: A promise is a promise!]
[Idiosyncratic Pig sent a cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!]
[Comment: A promise is a promise!]
[Waiter Not Mistress sent a cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!]
Due to the cat-eared ladies’ appearance on the screen, there was another wave of rewards in the livestream. The existence of the two cat-eared ladies directly increased the number of viewers in Lin Tian’s livestream to 500,000!
Some viewers who had only occasionally given gifts in the past also popped up one after another. Many people had made the promise of one scene for one gift and these viewers also kept their word, rewarding as they said they would.
Lin Tian did not pay much attention to the livestream. After making his rounds, Diana and the others came over with a few people. There were three people who knew how to count, and there were more than 40 people who knew how to read.
Lin Tian announced a decree in public, giving these literate people an additional copper coin per day. The temptation for money was the strongest. He hoped for everyone in his tribe to be knowledgeable so that he could have more talents.
Without a doubt, the moment this decree was announced, it attracted everyone’s attention. For an ordinary person to receive an additional copper coin per day on top of their usual seven copper coins, it was a wonderful thing..
