Chapter 766: Ayiguli Gets Promoted, Worker Leader, New Players Move In

"Stop crying. Nobody said you're completely out. You still have a position at the Factory." Han Zhixiu couldn't stand watching anymore and spoke up: "From now on, you'll serve as Deputy Factory Head, responsible for managing Worker assignments."

Pandora instantly stopped being sad. She wiped her face with her sleeve, the tears vanished, though her mouth was still scrunched to the side: "Really?"

Killer Bear felt its master was utterly spineless, a disgrace to its face, and slapped a paw over its own head.

"Really." Xu Lang gave his response.

Mad King Building had so many Workers, yet there had never been a clear leader.

After internal discussions within Demon King Castle, the final decision was to have Ayiguli serve as the Worker leader.

She had at least been a queen before, had a foundation in management, and Rakshasa players could help with administration too. It was a perfect fit.

Rakshasa players were an exceptionally high-quality batch of players, strictly disciplined. Though few in number, they executed orders with precision.

"Thank you so much, Dorm Owner!" Pandora was deeply moved.

"You should thank Han Zhixiu. This was Zhixiu's suggestion." Xu Lang shook his head.

Han Zhixiu chimed in: "You get along well with the Workers. The Worker population will only keep growing in the future, so I recommended you to Xu Lang."

As a former Factory Head, she had also worked with Pandora before.

Moreover, she was obsessed with improving her individual strength and rarely managed Factory affairs, during which Pandora had helped out quite a bit.

"Thank you!" Pandora pounced into Han Zhixiu's arms, feeling like she was hugging a giant jelly.

Being struck like that, Han Zhixiu's firm skin jiggled, and an affectionate look unconsciously appeared on her face. She stroked Pandora's head like a mother cradling a child.

Xu Lang glanced sideways, feeling that Pandora had deliberately worn that outfit to garner sympathy.

Killer Bear had thought of the same thing.

Master truly was Master, far too cunning. There was much it still needed to learn.

"Pandora, I'll add you to the work group. Later, you can invite those former Worker managers in as well." Ayiguli spoke up at this moment.

Managing Workers involved a certain workload. Jinsha, Yinsha, and White Sand were all her natural assistants. Now with Pandora added to the mix, she could finally rest easy.

"Okay, Sister Ayiguli." Pandora said sweetly.

Too strong. It was Master's cute-acting technique. Demon King-sama would definitely take the bait!

Killer Bear stealthily glance toward Xu Lang, only to find the latter's expression calm, seemingly unmoved.

Instantly, it had its answer.

Demon King-sama was even stronger!

Xu Lang coughed and said: "Alright, Ayiguli, take Pandora upstairs first. We still have some matters to handle."

"Okay, husband." Ayiguli smiled seductively and led Pandora upstairs: "Miss Pandora, it's still early. Let me explain what the Workers will be doing from now on."

The Workers of the dormitory building were positioned as a subordinate unit maintaining the normal operation of facilities, buildings, and the ecological circle. Now that the former workstations had disappeared, the Workers had to earn a living. There was only one path left: mining.

Factory profits all went to Demon King Castle. Although Demon King Castle didn't provide basic food and drink, it paid wages so Workers could purchase things themselves, which was better than directly distributing supplies.

Killer Bear watched the two women go upstairs and blinked.

For some reason, it felt that Master wouldn't be coming back for a long time.

So what about itself? Was it supposed to stay here the whole time? It didn't want to be around Xu Lang!

"Mr. Killer Bear, let me take you to eat some cookies." Zhidong looked at Killer Bear, smiling politely.

"Sure thing, beautiful Miss Zhidong!" Killer Bear followed Zhidong toward the reception room.

Xu Lang had already sent Pandora up to the second floor. In the short term, Pandora definitely wouldn't leave, might even stay overnight.

Killer Bear ultimately didn't understand human nature. Pandora hadn't lost. Rather, she had won a small victory.

...

Two in the afternoon.

The ground beneath the Safe Zone trembled, and a mine entrance rose up, right over by the Astrological Platform.

Over a thousand Workers received instructions and filed into the mine entrance to dig and work.

This job carried a certain danger. Without a safety helmet, one could be injured or even killed by falling rocks. The Neighborhood Committee set a work quota: the top one hundred people who mined the most Copper Coins each day could receive a free safety helmet.

Additionally, to prevent anyone from stealing Copper Coins, the miners were split into different groups, digging in different areas. If the Copper Coins collected from an area didn't add up, the group leader would have to make up the difference.

The labor design involved was complex where it needed to be, and simple where it needed to be.

But none of this required much worrying from Xu Lang, and even less did he need to step in himself.

Although everyone was in the same Safe Zone, the stratification was very obvious. Unless something major happened, Workers and ordinary players almost never saw Xu Lang.

Time flew by.

At six in the evening, players began returning from the exploration world, bringing back plenty of intelligence, along with some casualties.

The exploration world was crucial. The raw materials for creating Mad Facilities either came from within it or required completing exploration missions at the Mission Hall to obtain.

Anyway, Mad King Building had only one message.

If you don't go into the exploration world, don't even think about using Mad Facilities.

After nightfall, Xu Lang and Sherry were organizing intelligence from the exploration world when they received a message.

New dormitories had migrated over!

Dormitory number, 1-9.

The Neighborhood Committee people rushed to the first floor immediately.

"Seven Veteran Players. The lowest Experience is twenty Terms." Xu Lang checked their profiles and smiled: "Though their dormitory level is a bit low, not even Level Five, so Mad King Building's original dormitories directly replaced them."

"I see. Then they're not worth looking forward to." Sherry shook her head.

Twenty-Term old slackers. One glance at the Trading Network and they'd know what Mad King Building was made of. They wouldn't dare cause trouble and would obediently register their information.

Every time they came to register, the Neighborhood Committee had a dedicated person responsible for inspection and lie detection. These players couldn't hide anything even if they wanted to.

And if they could hide it, that was their skill, and Xu Lang wouldn't say much.

Hidden dragons and crouching tigers were better than true trash.

Besides, when Floor Leader selection came later, these people would reveal themselves anyway, laying out their Experience and showing off their credentials.

...

That night, new dormitories continued to migrate over one after another. The highest dormitory level was a dormitory on the fourth floor, which actually had level ten, and was a unique room.

Afterward, several more of these unique rooms arrived.

Well-informed players all grew worried. Vacant dormitories were starting to fill with people. Did this mean Building Wars were about to begin?

Everyone unconsciously accelerated their development, each one more competitive than the last.

You sweep a building in three hours? Then I'll sweep a building in one hour!

The Blood Mist World was sealed off. This was the only safe way for everyone to obtain resources.

Venturing into Forbidden Lands and the exploration world was too dangerous. Players without capital couldn't go, and going meant throwing their lives away.

Beyond that, the Iron Blood Colosseum was also one of the resource points, and a major one at that. Some players skilled in combat had already started fighting inside!

Moreover, they had made a name for themselves. Players on win streaks were not few in number.

After advancing to a first-tier dormitory building, the overall strength of Mad King Building players had increased by at least double!
