Pioneer Lord: A Leisurely Imperial Life

Chapter 61 Guards Get a Makeover



Chapter 61 Guards Get a Makeover

Looking at the fluffy white rabbit ears on Xueyue's head, Richard rubbed his hands behind his back.

Although he still didn't quite understand.

But I didn't dwell on it too much.

"You spent a few days at Chiffon Café, so you should know some of the rules here, right?"

Xueyue nodded quickly.

Richard pondered for a moment, his tone indifferent.

"Alright."

"But let me make this clear: although the Holy See has recognized your identities, it doesn't matter to me. You will all be treated as serfs."

"Every day, I work from sunrise to sunset and must complete the tasks I assign."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over all the snow rabbits, dimming their eyes.

But very quickly.

Richard's words rekindled their hope.

"but."

"As long as you follow Chiffon's rules and work hard, I guarantee you will have enough to eat every day, and you don't need to worry about safety. Chiffon will protect you."

All the snow rabbits' eyes lit up at those words!

Back when we were in the rocky forest, we often worked ourselves to the bone but couldn't find much food, so we could only eat some salty seaweed from the sea to fill our stomachs.

But now the lord says that as long as we work, we can eat our fill, as if that were some kind of harsh condition.

He also personally promised to protect everyone's safety, which made them feel like it was all too real.

Only Xueyue knew that these promises were true. She held her parents' hands and bowed deeply to Richard.

"Thank you, Lord. We will work hard and never let you down."

More than thirty snow rabbits also bowed.

They responded in unison.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Richard nodded in satisfaction and waved to them.

"alright."

"Now you all stand in the serfs' line, and someone will assign you work tasks later."

Xueyue quickly led her people to the end of the serfs' line.

Richard turned around.

He stood at the front of the line again, his gaze sweeping over all the serfs and the newly joined Snow Rabbit tribe.

He cleared his throat.

The sound rang out again.

"No serfs fled just now, and you even dared to pick up rubble to support the battlefield. I am very satisfied with your attitude!"

Upon hearing this, all the serfs fell silent and pricked up their ears.

"Starting today, Chiffon will implement a policy targeting serfs!"

"That's the Outstanding Worker Award!"

"Every day I will select ten of the most hardworking people, and the winners will receive extra work points!"

Instantly.

A clamor of discussion arose from the crowd!

Richard immediately waved his hand, signaling them to be quiet.

"Let me finish."

"If anyone can win the Outstanding Worker Award for three consecutive days, I'll assign them a special position!"

"and!"

"Once you get a special post, you can choose whether to join the militia or do logistical work like Wade and his teammates!"

These words were spoken.

The faces of all the serfs showed disbelief, and then they burst into a deafening cheer!

Under the current work point system, they can only receive a small amount of basic work points each day.

After exchanging them for the food they needed each day, there were no extra work points left to save up.

The new reward mechanism undoubtedly provides them with a way to earn extra work points.

As long as you work hard enough, you can accumulate extra work points, become a free citizen, and change your destiny!

—The future is promising!

"Long live the Lord!"

Long live chiffon cake!

"We'll definitely work hard!"

...

The thirty-odd snow hares standing at the end of the line were startled and pressed their ears to the top of their heads to block out the deafening cheers.

They stared blankly at the cheering human serfs, their eyes filled with confusion.

A snow rabbit girl mustered her courage, tugged at the arm of the serf next to her, and asked in a low voice.

"Excuse me, what are work points?"

The serf, still basking in joy, grinned upon hearing the snow rabbit girl's question and enthusiastically explained:

"Work points are the hard currency of our Qifeng. As long as you have work points, you can exchange them for food, and in the future, you can also exchange them for clothing, bedding and other supplies."

"You can get a basic score by working hard every day, and special positions are even better, as you can get an extra score every day."

"Once you accumulate enough work points, you can be promoted to a free citizen and own your own private property."

"Free citizens can join the army and then they can eat sustenance every day, just like the guards!"

At this point, he grinned at the snow rabbit girl, revealing a set of yellowed teeth, but his tone was filled with pride.

"From now on, if you work for the lord, I guarantee you'll have enough to eat and wear, and live a good life!"

As the Snow Rabbit tribe listened to the serf's explanation, their eyes gradually lit up, and their faces showed longing.

turn out to be...

This is the good day that Xueyue was talking about!

I actually had the chance to eat food that sustains life!

Looking at the cheering crowd and the smiling members of her tribe around her, Xueyue's unease finally dissipated.

She looked up at the lord standing at the front, her eyes filled with gratitude.

She knew that she had made the right choice.

...

Richard glanced at the jubilant serfs and was quite satisfied with their reaction. In fact, he hadn't planned to implement this reward system so soon.

But after a trip through the frost yesterday, he felt it necessary to make some policy adjustments to get the serfs free as soon as possible.

...

After delivering his victory speech, he finally had time to pack up the various large boxes on the back of the Universiade.

The box was put down.

All the military equipment was opened, and the finely polished armor and longswords gleamed with a cold metallic sheen under the afternoon sun.

"Karl".

Richard called the captain over and pointed to the equipment in the box, saying:

"Distribute these equipment and have all the guards put them on."

Previously, the guards wore leather armor obtained from the Wolf Army, which was standard issue for all reservists, while heavy iron armor was only worn by high-ranking legions.

In fact, in battles against monsters or supernatural beings, even the finest ordinary iron equipment has limited defensive capabilities.

However, in large-scale team battles, having more defensive capabilities means consuming less precious life energy, which can slightly improve combat endurance.

Especially in a battle between two novice extraordinary beings, the role of heavy armor becomes very obvious.

But more importantly...

Iron armor looks better than leather armor!

Richard had seen the Frost Knights before, and while he didn't know their combat prowess, their heavy plate armor, which concealed their faces, made them look imposing and handsome. Richard also hoped that Chiffon's image could be changed.

soon.

The guards had all changed into brand-new armor, with finely forged longswords at their waists and thick iron shields in their hands.

Their overall temperament and appearance have undergone a dramatic transformation, as if they have transformed from a ragtag team into a regular knightly squad.

That's ridiculous.

A murderous aura emanated from them.

The sunlight shone on the armor, reflecting a dazzling light that made the serfs and militia stare in disbelief.

Especially Kelsalina, whose eyes were filled with intense longing.
