I have a bunch of players on Earth

Chapter 565: Chapter 594: the centimeter system

Translator: 549690339

“Centimeter?”At night, a group of soldiers gathered around the bonfire outside their tents, listening to their companions who had gone to the square to talk about the new system announced by the Duke today.

“Yes! Centimeter, I have a detailed list here…”the soldier said as he took out a snow-white form.

“This paper is beautiful. What is it made of? It doesn’t look like sheepskin…”the soldier next to him was stunned.

“This is new paper. It’s made from cut trees.”

“Trees can be made into paper?”

“It’s made by Wizards. That’s not important. We don’t usually use it. The key is this new centimeter system. Come, Old John, you can read. Tell us what’s on it.”

A veteran among the soldiers was stunned. He took the paper. Although old John was already a veteran in his forties, he could not tell that he was old after the surgery. Moreover, it belonged to the bovine family, after the surgery, he was even stronger than a Tauren. No one could tell that he was once a skinny forty-year-old veteran.

He stretched out his thick palm, took the paper, and slowly read the reward details on it.

It was a daily payment, and the Mage’s grandfather registered his personal information. From tomorrow onwards, he could go to the city hall to get a daily payment card, and the daily payment would be registered after the day’s work.

The daily payment was based on the amount of work you did, the quality of work you did, and the level of work you did. Each person would be slightly different, but it was absolutely fair!

For example, if an average person tills the land at 15 centimeters a day, then some people will work faster and only spend half a day to complete the workload of a day. If the quality of the work is not a problem, then you can receive 15 points in half a day, the remaining half a day can be used to do other things to earn a centimeter, or you can rest at home.

Below is the approximate value of the labor in a day for each job.

15 points a day for plowing land, the specific amount of labor for one day is as follows… If it is exceeded, the extra points will be settled, the reward for plowing land outside the city will be doubled, 30 points a day, and the excess share will also be doubled.

Soldiers Stand Guard for one day for 20 points, night shift for 30 points, if there is an extra charge for duty…

Urban construction projects are calculated in centimeters per hour, high labor such as carrying bricks, carrying bricks, carrying bricks for one hour for five points. Of course, if the amount of bricks you carry per hour is greater than the average, there will be an extra calculation.

The technical workers responsible for measuring and designing would be calculated in fifty points per day…

Everyone was stunned when they heard that. Then, one of them slapped his leg and said, “We on sentry duty are not worth as much as moving bricks. Why should we?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”The person beside him rolled his eyes at him. How Idle were you on sentry duty? There was rest time every hour. The other party had to move so much bricks every hour. If you were sweating, you could wash your face.

“Then… Then why is the job of measuring and designing more than ours?”

“The knowledgeable masters have always earned more than us big-headed soldiers. Those aristocrats who studied law in the past ate steak every day. It’s normal for us who are on sentry duty to not be able to eat a piece of steak during the New Year. Isn’t that normal?”

“Uh…”that person was immediately depressed, although what his partner said was the truth, that was in the past. Now that he had undergone surgery, he felt that he had all the skills in his body. When he heard that he could only earn the same salary as those who moved bricks and farmed fields, he felt a little aggrieved.

Another person asked curiously, “I heard from the higher-ups that one can earn as many centimeters as one labors a day. But what is the value of these centimeters?”

Everyone quieted down and looked at Old John.

What was the value of these centimeters? The question of how much material could be exchanged was indeed the most important one.

“It’s not on the above…”old John Shrugged.

Everyone immediately looked at the soldier who went to the square to watch the show.

“About this, some of them are probably…”the soldier quickly said, “Because the prices of different merchants may be different, but the few who have moved in have already set their prices. I went to look at their products just now…”

“What do they have?”The soldier’s interest was immediately piqued.

“There’s a tailor shop that has a lot of cloth inside. I took a look and found that the coarse cloth inside is sold for 50 points per cloth. The quantity is very thick. I estimate that one cloth can make four or five sets of clothes for children and two or three sets for women. Then there’s the high-grade cloth. Let me tell you, the quality of that good cloth is really good. It feels so good when you touch it. TSK TSK, it’s even more powerful than the feeling of those noble lords wearing it. A lot of women are staring at it with their eyes wide open. I estimate that you women will be nagged when you go back…”. “…”

“Fifty points for a piece of coarse cloth?”The people around looked at each other. It was not expensive. A farmer who cultivated the land could earn at least fifteen points a day, and he could buy a piece of cloth in four days. This price was indeed quite honest. Before the natural disaster, especially here in Gondolin, a craftsman might not be able to buy a piece of coarse cloth even if he worked for half a month…

“Salt and sugar don’t seem to be expensive. I took a look, and a few points can be exchanged for a big bag. The key is that our daily food supply will still be distributed as usual, and it won’t affect us at all…”

“Is that so?”Everyone’s eyes suddenly lit up. This policy was awesome, and it was equivalent to guaranteeing the extra pay under the premise of their previous welfare. Everyone’s mood instantly improved.

In fact, this was equivalent to the factory providing food, accommodation, and wages. However, everything was relative. For the residents of Gondolin who only had one meal, this point was equivalent to the extra welfare, this time, no one would be unhappy.

“Then, you said that there were some rare items. What are those rare items?”

“Then there are many!”The soldier quickly said, “High-grade cloth, perfume, jewelry, these are all small. There are also magic items that only nobles could enjoy in the past, such as heating crystals, frozen crystals, magic lamps, and high-grade magical beast mounts. They are all tamed, powerful, and handsome. You guys didn’t see it, but those orcs and the cavalrymen who used to know how to ride are staring at them more straight than those women. They can’t even pull them away!”

“Those things… are they expensive?”His companion asked quickly.

“Nonsense!”The soldier rolled his eyes. “Are they even as expensive as salt? There’s a fully-armed black-armored lion inside. It’s F * cking cool. It costs 30,000 points to equip a full set of armor!”

“Ten…”everyone swallowed their saliva.

They were all earning more than ten points. How Long would they have to earn 30,000 points?

At the mention of this, some of the soldiers began to grumble, “I don’t think it’s reasonable. How can our pay as soldiers be so low? “Those who plow the fields, as long as they work hard for half a day, they can still find time to move bricks. If they work harder, earning 40 to 50 points a day is no problem at all. As for us who stand guard, we stand guard for an entire night. Where would we find the time and energy to do that? “If we really can’t do it, we’ll resign and move bricks. In any case, we have enough strength.”

The soldiers nodded repeatedly when they heard that. However, the ones who nodded were strength-type modifiers of the bear family or the cow family. Some of the feline soldiers looked at their skinny figures and curled their lips without saying anything…

“Actually, we soldiers have ways to earn money…”old John looked at the centimeter and said with a serious expression.

“F * ck, why didn’t you say so earlier?”Everyone immediately glared at him. “Hurry up and say it, what ways do you have?”

“This money isn’t easy to get…”. “…”Old John narrowed his eyes and said, “Exploring the mutated zone, a minimum of 100 points per day. There are additional rewards for exploring new terrain, and additional rewards for killing mutated creatures. Moreover, the rewards are extremely high. Killing one of the Pythons from before will cost 1,000 points per python.” “! ! !”

“Hiss… this…”everyone looked at each other and fell silent for a moment. The rewards sounded quite high, but that was using one’s life to earn money… “…”.
