In the warehouse processing room.
Everyone was incredibly busy.
After seeking approval, Deacon Ivan hired a lot of extra temporary workers.
At this moment, these workers wore coarse cloth aprons, leather gloves, and under Ivan’s command, categorized the various spoils properly.
Weapons were transported by cart to the blacksmith’s material accumulation area, waiting for the blacksmith apprentices to smelt and recast them.
Herbs and active substances were each placed in their respective boxes, then stored in the compressed storage space.
Goblin, Kobold, Jackal-Wolf People, Lizard People, Slime, these various common monster carcasses were piled in the center of the open area, awaiting further processing.
Initially, some workers were still intimidated by these fearsome monsters.
But as the work progressed, they gradually became indifferent.
Like processing ordinary livestock, they skillfully dissected their bodies, removed the skin, some useful organs were immersed in preservation potions.
"Be gentle! These poison sacks are very fragile!"
Ivan reminded the nearby apprentice pharmacist.
"A complete poison sack can at least be exchanged for half a Gold Coin."
"Hiss..."
Upon hearing this, the apprentice’s hands instantly trembled twice.
Luckily, he eventually steadied his grip, preventing the "valuable" poison sack from falling to the ground.
The leader’s grain of dust, when it fell upon his shoulder, was a mountain.
Nearby, the short chubby worker handling a set of rusty armor wiped his sweat and grinned.
"Deacon, the goods we’ve received in these two days are more than what I earned in a month at my old employer."
Before switching, he worked at a small shop where adventurers sold their spoils.
"That’s because our leader is capable," Ivan thought silently, feeling that ordinary shops can’t be compared to the Red Dragon Adventurer Group.
Although he found the worker’s lack of insight amusing, he didn’t bother to ridicule him.
"No more chatting, the next batch is expected to arrive soon, we must hurry."
His gaze swept over the bustling work area.
These past two days, there were greedy people among us.
After all, hiding some precious items could amount to a fortune that these ordinary workers would spend months or even years to accumulate.
Yesterday, a temporary worker attempted to stash a few Silver Coins in the lining of his pocket.
However, his clever ruse didn’t escape the inspection.
All employees entering the work area had to remove personal items, and upon leaving, they underwent checks as well.
Moreover, those crows watched closely; two employees were caught by them right at the start while attempting to steal, their plotting exposed by the crows’ loud calls, and thus they were caught red-handed.
Facing these greedy employees, as the administrator in charge of the residence, Ivan certainly wasn’t soft-hearted, immediately calling for a patrol to deal with them.
Of course, most employees were honest and straightforward.
Upon discovering the thefts, they also felt disdain.
The underlying reason is that the Red Dragon Team provides good treatment.
Basic salary is higher than other places, overtime brings extra wages, so workers have no complaints.
After all, it’s not about the overtime.
How much they can take home is their priority concern, as it affects their rent, milk, bread, family clothing...
For ordinary members, the strength of the adventurer group, or how capable the leader is, doesn’t concern them.
That matters only to the big figures within the team.
They only care about what they earn, and though work in the Red Dragon Team is busy, the earnings are significantly higher compared to previous shop jobs.
Additionally, apart from these benefits, the residence’s canteen provides two free meals a day, and if working overtime late, there’s even a supper.
Eat as much as you want without wasting or taking outside.
Where else could you find such a good place?
Thus, their impression of the young leader was much better.
Some temporary workers worked diligently.
Their thoughts were simple, wanting to become permanent members.
Therefore, they needed to work harder than others to leave a good impression on the management.
The Deacon Ivan explicitly stated, they will indeed recruit more formal members, depending on their performance.
Besides the temporary workers, formal members also felt a sense of crisis, fearing that laziness would be noted.
The Red Dragon Team offered good treatment, the job was respectable, nobody wanted to leave.
...
Meanwhile, outside the city.
"You have accumulated the killing of 10,000 goblins, the title [Goblin Slaughterer] upgraded to [Goblin Expert]."
A prompt suddenly appeared before Gauss’s eyes.
Unknowingly, has he already killed 10,000 goblins?
This really isn’t a small number.
If piling up all these corpses, it would probably become a small mountain.
"Since the race [Goblin] is the main quest target."
"Goblin Expert reward achieved: Intelligence +1, Strength +1, Constitution +1."
"Gained Divine Factor 1%, current Divine Factor: 1.13%."
Waves of intense energy surged within Gauss’s body.
The body warmed slightly, while a clear stream of energy roamed inside his mind.
Strength: 14→15
Agility: 12
Constitution: 14→15
Intelligence: 17(16)→17
Perception: 12
Charm: 14(13)
The dual-15 strength and constitution seemed to cause some kind of transformation in Gauss’s body.
