Everyone’s an Overlord: I Have the Military Unit Editor!

Chapter 5: Nightfall!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Since the fire on an inanimate object could not be traded, what about the flames on a creature?

He recalled the Flame Slime he had seen in the game.

Not only did these creatures carry fire, but, most of all, they glowed constantly. They were like eternal light bulbs. They were also light sources that did not fear rain or require energy!

With such monsters in the territory, the Overlords could use the nighttime hours perfectly.

To all the Overlords, time was the most precious thing now. If they could work at night, it was equivalent to lengthening the protection time for newbies.

However, the current situation was that the night in the forest would be extremely dark, and there was no way to work in the territory.

Therefore, the night time would be wasted.

That was what Rene faced too.

As a young man who had just transmigrated and had just learned the news of becoming an Overlord, he did not feel sleepy even at night.

If he could not work, he might be able to count the stars for the entire night.

“If I want to create a Flame Slime, I must first create a flame.”

“Let’s wait until I finish the construction.”

Rene exited the chat and ate the rest of the food. Then, he worked hard and continued to build the [Guild].

One could not rush things, there had to be a reasonable pace.

That way, time would not be wasted.

Rene finished processing all the wood and began building.

By six in the evening, he finally finished the construction.

This was a very crude building. It was built from chopped wood and covered less than eight square meters. However, that was not the key. The key was that, with the summoning array inside, it was a territory building that could recruit workers.

Ding!

[Congratulations on obtaining the building: Elementary Guild!]

[Elementary Guild] (Rank 1 Construction)

[Quality]: Normal

[Level]: 1

[Function]: Recruitment per week: Laborer x10 (2 silver coins per person), Construction Worker x1 (10 silver coins per person), Miner x1 (10 silver coins per person), Woodcutter x1 (10 silver coins per person).

[Description]: An ordinary low-level Guild that can recruit some workers.

————

This guild had weekly recruitment restrictions, just like the Monster Lair.

Fortunately, there were all kinds of workers inside.

Without thinking, Rene immediately recruited all the workers he could this week.

Ding!

[Congratulations, 10 laborers, 1 construction worker, 1 miner, and 1 woodcutter have joined your ranks.]

Over a dozen people immediately appeared in the open space of the territory.

Dressed in tattered hemp clothes, they gathered there listlessly, as if they were refugees from somewhere.

When the light faded, they immediately noticed the appearance of Overlord Rene. Everyone immediately surrounded him.

They looked at him expectantly, “My lord, when do we eat?”

They wanted to eat before working?

Did the system not even provide a meal for them?

Rene cursed inwardly, but still took out 10 units of food and let them eat.

Under normal circumstances, laborers were loyal to their lord.

If their loyalty fell to a certain point, they would abandon the Overlord and flee.

Maintaining the loyalty of these workers meant ensuring that they had food to eat and would not starve to death. Without a life-threatening situation, these workers would not betray him.

After distributing the food, Rene looked at the panel of the technicians and ordinary workers.

The result was that technicians were twice as efficient as ordinary workers.

The quality of the work was guaranteed as well.

“Will ordinary laborers become woodcutters after giving them wooden axes?” Another bold thought occurred to him.

Because civilian laborers were living humans, they could be used as basic materials for the editor.

If he could edit them into technicians, he would make a killing.

The weekly hiring fee for an edited monster was the same as before.

In other words…

If Rene succeeded, he would have a group of woodcutters who only needed two silver coins to hire!

It was equivalent to saving 8 silver coins per week for each person!

“Very good. Let’s give it a try.”

Rene turned his attention to one of the workers. A golden notification popped up.

[Please add the body part materials.]

“Wooden axe.”

This axe was an initial tool given by the system. It could not be lost.

Rene inhaled, then chose to be certain.

[The formula has been established, ‘wooden axe’ is used as a body part material.]

[Current formula: (Laborer) + (Wooden Axe) = (???)]

[The fee is 10 silver coins. Would you like to confirm this edit?]

Recruiting a woodcutter would cost 10 silver coins, and creating one from a laborer would cost 12 silver coins in total. It seemed like a waste.

But if he counted the future employment fees, things would be different.

Without hesitation, Rene made his decision.

Ding!

[Edited successfully!]

[Congratulations on obtaining a Rank 1 Soldier: Woodcutter!]

What appeared in front of Rene was no longer the thin laborer, but a muscular woodcutter. At this moment, he carried a wooden axe and was ready to serve his territory.

Success!

Rene checked his interface and found that the edited version was no different from the original woodcutter.

The only differences were the loyalty and employment fees of both sides.

This woodcutter had 80 loyalty to Rene, much more than the average woodcutter’s 30.

The higher the loyalty, the faster the efficiency of the workers. 80 points of loyalty could give this woodcutter an additional 30% efficiency.

“Looks like I can save a lot of expenses in the future.”

Rene looked at the other workers. He had to find a way to get enough tools.

The technicians were much stronger than ordinary laborers. They could speed up the construction of the territory.

“Go cut down the surrounding trees. The laborers will be responsible for moving them.”

Rene gave the order, then looked up at the sky. It was almost dark. They had to start a fire soon.
