Chapter Two Hundred and Forty Eight – The Problem of Settlement (2/2)

The corner of Gongsun Cha’s mouth rose in an imperceptible curve. “All of you will led a platoon in this disruption mission.”

“Ah! We also need to take those new people?”

The people who had just been so excited instantly withered. They finally reacted. What disruption mission? It was a babysitting mission. Thinking about taking along a large group of newbies that didn’t know a thing, everyone, including Zong Ru, had a grimace on their face.

They were very willing to kill. But not one of them was willing to be a babysitter.

“What, you aren’t willing?” Gongsun Cha smiled, showing his teeth.

Everyone’s hearts suddenly froze. They simultaneously shook their heads.

‘Willing, how can we not be willing?! Leading a group of people, it will be very imposing, ha ha!” Lei Peng’s laughter was like sobbing.

“Very willing, very willing!” Nian Lu hurried to agree, afraid if he wasn’t careful, Lil’ Miss would fix onto him. Then it really would be getting a strip torn off his hide.

Ma Fan saw Lil’ Miss’ eyes float towards him and hurriedly jumped out. “This subordinate is willing to be the first to fight.”

The other people instantly were upset. How come they hadn’t been the first to declare themselves? Ma Fan’s mind was getting better and better. He hadn’t been the core for nothing!

Instantly, everyone asked to fight.

Gongsun Cha gave a shy and bashful smile, and said softly, “You have to be careful.”

Hearing this, it was as though everyone had been pardoned, and they scattered, rushing to go pick people.

Zuo Mo suddenly felt he was much busier. All the xiuzhe that had been brought over had at least one skill. He had to personally make arrangements for many people. However, before this, the first person he had to meet was the one who had planned all this, Bao Yi.

“Boss!” Bao Yi respectfully bowed.

When he first saw Zuo Mo, he was extremely shocked. From any angle, this boss looked like a youth that did not seem to have even entered his twenties. The more amazed he was, the less he dared to slight Boss. To be able to gather together such a large group of people at such an age, his abilities were definitely not something that a little businessman like him could underestimate.

After he took a tour around the camp, the amazement in his heart increased. Maybe this camp was extremely crude in other people’s eyes, but in the eyes of someone as experienced as Bao Yi, there were too many places here that were not normal.

That date seed ship was a rare jingshi talisman. The female xiu beside Boss and the three metal guards enveloped in golden armor were unable to be quantified.

The first mission he received was to organize the stores.

He was very attentive to this mission. The stores could, to a certain degree, reflect the wealth of Boss.

The storeroom was a mountain cave. It was heavily guarded with two whole platoons of xiuzhe. When he entered the deep cavern, and saw the mountainous pile of talismans, he was dumbstruck. In an instant, he felt all the blood in his body suddenly flood into his head.

Heavens! It was the first time he had seen talismans piled up in heaps like they were trash.

No one to care and repair them, Bao Yi’s first thought was, wastrel, they were wastrels!

After that, he started to organize through day and night. He organized and sorted the talismans according to type and grade. When Zuo Mo entered the store and saw the reborn storeroom, he was very satisfied.

“You must have worked very hard,” Zuo Mo said.

“This is this subordinate’s duty,” Bao Yi hurriedly said.

This guy really had abilities, Zuo Mo thought inside. Even though he was full of interest towards business, but it was clear that he definitely would not have the time in the future.

“You are going to be in charge of the store and be the quartermaster for the troop.” Zuo Mo reassured him. As the number of people increased, Zuo Mo felt it was increasingly difficult to manage them all. The training and combat of the xiuzhe in the camp belonged to Gongsun Shidi, but there was a lot of work in supplying resources. It had been a headache for him and Gongsun Shidi . As to Chun Shidi, that maniac could not be relied on.

Bao Yi was overjoyed. “Thank you Boss!”

Quartermaster and in charge of the stores, that was a rich job. What he thought more of was the importance of this job. After this, he did not need to worry about his status in this group.

“Work hard.” Zuo Mo encouraged and quickly left the storeroom.

———

Bao Yi’s job was very easy to arrange because no one other than him could do the job. However, Zuo Mo felt it was very difficult to arrange the other people.

They were skilled in a variety of areas, some of which were very obscure. Zuo Mo still had no idea what to do with them.

The only person he could ask for help was Pu Yao.

“This problem.” Pu Yao thought, and then said, “Maybe you can borrow some methods from our Yao Art Houses.”

“What methods?” Zuo Mo’s mind became alert.

“In the bigger yao art houses, they would take out a portion of resources and monies each year to support those yao with unique ideas to study new yao arts.” Pu Yao said, “Of course, you cannot avoid the necessary examinations and assessments.”

Zuo Mo’s eyes lit up. That was a good idea.

If he didn’t know how to organize these people, it was better to let them work it out, and he could save effort. As to resources, it would be within the limits of their abilities.

What Zuo Mo needed the most at the moment was the least effort-consuming method. If it continued like this, he felt that definitely would have no time to cultivate.

These days, it wasn’t easy being the boss!

Translator Ramblings: The crazier the person, the more they get promoted in Zuo Mo’s camp, and the higher the status. The best example is, of course, Gongsun Cha. Gongsun Cha making an army is a long term process he is going through that is showing preliminary results. Chun Yu Cheng is also doing the same thing. He’s had preliminary results, and now he just needs more time. If he was useless, Fang Xiang wouldn’t have wrote him in and kept mentioning him in all these chapters.

Some of you have really good theories for what is going on with the mystery female.
