Chapter 37: Fishing Goblin? Ox-horse Goblin!
Since Lelian is coming back soon, and there are still some things to be arranged in the cave.

Gu An simply teased Tia and did not carry out any intensive fat-reducing exercises.

He walked out of the stone hall and came to the cave passage. As soon as he went out, he could hear the sound of "ding ding bang bang".

That was the sound of the Miner Goblins hard at work.

Since it is not a combat job, it does not need to worry about combat matters. During this day and night, except for a short rest, it works non-stop.

But why does this sound so strange?

It seemed like there was only the sound of a hoe.

But there seem to be two Miner Goblins?
Since the population in the territory has reached its limit, no new goblins were produced last night, but even so, the two miner goblins should have been working together.

How come there is only the sound of a hoe?

Because the distance was very close, Gu An realized that something was wrong and did not use the [Cave Lord] skill to observe, but went to the work site next door in person.

When he got closer, he found that the excavation of the [Logging Cave] had been completed for more than half. In the cave that had begun to take shape, a miner goblin was leaning against the rock wall, sleeping soundly with his legs crossed, and the stone draft was thrown aside.

This guy is actually slacking off?

what's the situation!
It's really abominable that some employees slack off during working hours!

Seeing this scene, Gu An was very angry and kicked the miner goblin directly on the butt.

In this cave, there is unity, friendship and positivity, and every goblin works hard and strives to achieve results.

But even in such an excellent territory atmosphere, such a thing actually sneaked in. Sleeping at work and delaying the construction period is really unforgivable!

It was the first time that Gu An was so angry. He stared at the miner goblin with his eyes wide open.
"What's going on? How can you sleep when the work isn't finished yet?!"

After being kicked awake, the miner goblin saw the lord coming to check in person. He covered his butt and stood up in panic, with his little yellow hat tilted on his head, looking very funny.

Facing the Lord's reprimand, the Miner Goblin shrank his head and timidly responded: "Lord, I see that the planting hole is only halfway dug, so I thought I would take a break first."

[But please rest assured, Lord! I will not delay the work even if I sleep! ]

Gu An frowned, feeling angry and confused about the condition of this newborn goblin.

Doesn't the Miner Goblin have the [Ultimate Workaholic] trait?

How can such an attitude still exist at work?

Could it be that goblins of the same type also have different characteristics?

With doubts, Gu An opened the attribute panel of the newborn miner goblin.

[Miner Goblin (Level 10): A skilled worker wearing a yellow hat, not good at fighting, but with a very high level of industrial skills.]

[Features: (Work Master) (Slacker) (Dexterous)]

[Digging speed: 68, transport speed: 60.]

Features introduction:
[Work Master: When the Miner Goblin is working, the basic efficiency will be doubled. ]

[Slacking Maniac: The Miner Goblin is not enthusiastic about his work and will slack off and rest from time to time. 】

[Skillful: As long as the materials are provided, the Miner Goblin can produce the tools needed for his work. 】

It's really different!
Just like different species of goblins have their own special abilities, the entries possessed by miner goblins of special occupations will also differ.

“It doesn’t seem like a bad thing.”

After carefully studying the entry, Gu An's expression changed from anger to joy, as he discovered a hidden treasure.

This new miner goblin has the characteristic of doubling the basic efficiency. The same cave can be completed in half the time.

This means that if there is someone to supervise it and prevent it from slacking off, it can achieve twice the effect in the same amount of time.

This was such a pleasant surprise.

There are too many places in the cave that need to be developed now, including storage caves, logging caves, and accommodation caves, all of which require a large number of miner goblins to work.

And with the continuous increase of basic materials, food, and goblins in the future, more and more caves will need to be developed.

Since there is an upper limit on the cave population, it is necessary to reasonably arrange the number of various types of goblins to maintain a balance in various tasks.

Therefore, when there is a quantity requirement for Miner Goblins, quality is particularly important. If you can have a Miner Goblin that doubles the efficiency, the development period in the territory will be greatly accelerated. As for the problem of slacking off.

It’s actually very easy to solve.

All we have to do is let the useless junior goblin hold a whip and supervise the plants after they finish watering every day.

While preventing the miner goblins from slacking off, you can also find jobs for temporarily idle goblins, which is a perfect way to recycle waste.

Gu An suddenly showed a vampire-like smile, and his eyes were full of greed as he looked at the "Fishering Goblin".

[Lord... How terrifying...]

Looking at Gu An's strange expression, the Fishing Goblin swallowed his saliva in fear, then pressed tightly against the wall, his legs shaking uncontrollably.

Gu An patted its shoulder and said with a smile: [Don't be afraid, your Lord is still very kind and amiable.]

[Since this is your first offense, I won't punish you for being lazy this time. ]

[However, I will assign a junior goblin to supervise your work at all times. If this happens again, you will be whipped.]

The Fishing Goblin's legs were not only shaking, but even a little weak.

From now on, not only will there be supervisors at work, but you will also be whipped if you are lazy.

Whether in expression or words, the lord does not seem to be kind and amiable at all!

[Then Lord, if the work is done, can you take a break for a while? 】

Gu An shook his head.

[There are many tasks in the territory. When you finish one, there is another one. So you can’t calculate it this way. There must be a unified working time.]

[Just work nineteen hours a day like your predecessors.]

Nineteen hours!
There are people supervising!
If you slack off, you'll be whipped!

The Fishing Goblin collapsed directly to the ground, feeling that his future life would be bleak.

[Why are you sitting on the ground? It's working time now. If you slack off, you'll be whipped! ]

[Hurry up, start now, and build me a stone bed and three stone tables as quickly as possible! ]

Under Gu An's scolding, the slacking goblin didn't even have time to be sad. He stood up quickly, took the manuscript and started working hard.

Since the junior goblins were cleaning the battlefield outside the cave, Gu An had to act as the supervisor for the time being.

The boss personally accompanies him at work, so Fishing Goblin is extremely lucky.

Taking advantage of the boring time while supervising, Gu An was thinking in his mind how to continue planning the territory.

Lelian is about to join the cave.

This little Loli definitely can't live in the Stone Hall forever, as it will affect his and Tia's interesting fat-burning exercises.

The goblin's accommodation cave next door is about to be dug. Since there is such an emergency, let Lelian move in after it is completed.

As for the goblins...

Although the logging cave is almost completed, it is only 90 square meters, which is too small. Besides, it will also be used to plant the [Magic Trees], so they definitely cannot be allowed to live in it.

There is no place to put them for now, so let them suffer for now.

Since we are of the same sex, there is nothing to be shy about. It won't have any impact if we separate after the next accommodation cave is completed.

After thinking about the accommodation issues for personnel at all levels, Gu An started to worry about other things.

Although the territory has expanded a lot now, there are too few furniture. Without tables and chairs, it is very inconvenient to eat. We need to make more.

The more Gu An thought about it, the more he realized that there was too much room for development in the territory, and with the full workload, the current manpower was far from enough.

It looks like the plan to upgrade the territory and increase the population will have to be implemented as soon as possible...
