Chapter 166 Forceful Whipping
"Don't be so naive in the future. They can't just give you whatever they want, and you can't help them now, because all your time should be spent on me."
Xia Gu said the same thing to Eric in a different way, and Eric nodded excitedly upon hearing it.
"Absolutely! I'm really happy right now. I feel incredibly joyful every time I wake up."
There's really no way to refute this, because it's simply the truth.
Xia Gu naturally didn't think there was any problem at this point, and said a few more words before the three of them went back to their own business.
The next day, Xia Gu went to the processing center, wanting to see if the group of people had actually started working on time.
However, when Xia Gu arrived, she found that there were very few people here, and only Li Xun and a few scattered wandering beastmen.
This puzzled Xia Gu, so she went straight to Xue Lan to see what was going on.
"Didn't we invite so many people yesterday? Why are so many people not showing up today? What are they thinking?"
Xia Gu found this matter very strange; she had been talking about it for so long, but very few people had actually been convinced.
"How about I go over and take a look later? If they're slacking off, I'll persuade them like I did yesterday. If there really is a problem, then we'll just wait a few more days."
Xuelan knew that sometimes it was difficult to regain one's work experience because they had been lying down and doing nothing for so long.
"Alright then, if they don't want to work here, they can also go with Zhang Fenglin to grow herbs. Our herb planting base has expanded quite a bit, and we'll need a lot of people to manage it."
Xia Gu was still very much looking forward to it, after all, herbs were a commodity that could not be cut off, and other tribes would often want to use them.
In this situation, Xia Gu certainly cannot allow any defects in the cultivation of herbs, so it is essential to prepare the necessary personnel as soon as possible; only then can it be considered normal.
“Oh right, you need that many people too. Our tribe is probably short-handed right now. I’ll have to find other people to join us later.”
At this moment, Xue Lan naturally felt somewhat worried, as the current labor force was in such short supply that it was impossible to fully fill the gap.
Upon hearing this, Xia Gu frowned. So much time had passed, and this was the problem. However, she felt there was no need to worry, as many people had joined the tribe in the past few days.
“Our tribe has the most wandering orcs. They are quite lazy, so it might be difficult to find any labor force.”
"Anyway, we need to push them. So don't stay here. Go and see what kind of method we can use to persuade them to do these things well."
"As for Zhang Fenglin, I will also help him out, because I don't have much to do lately, and I've already handed over everything that needs to be done to you."
Xia Gu spoke with great conviction, stating that she still had the energy to manage those herbs, and that those herbs were indeed very important.
"Okay, you also need to check on Li Xun's situation. Didn't we agree that she would come with Jin Long? This is indeed a bit strange."
"A female came to work here, but the male broke his promise. That's not very healthy, is it? We discovered this problem yesterday. I don't know what this pear tree was thinking."
Xue Lan thought it was ridiculous that such a person was not worthy of being called male. Xia Gu just smiled calmly when she heard this, because she had already guessed that this would be the result.
"We already thought it was incredibly unreliable, so isn't this exactly what we expected?"
Xia Gu sighed. After Xue Lan left, Xia Gu went to Li Xun's side and looked at her helplessly.
"Where did Jinlong go again? Shouldn't he have come with you? And didn't we agree on everything yesterday? He was so confident yesterday, but it turned out it was all a lie?"
Xia Gu asked Li Qian, because she really didn't know how to explain this situation. After all, if a female has a crush on a male, then there will definitely be a filter.
“Jinlong will come. He suddenly felt unwell today, so he couldn’t come. Since I’ve already promised you, I will definitely come and give it a try. I’ll see if I can get used to it here, and I can also tell Jinlong.”
Li Xun's smile was very forced. She really didn't want to make things so awkward, but Jin Long was already in a bad mood, and Li Xun couldn't force him to come over.
"Alright, then we can only get Jinlong here as soon as possible. We must not delay for too long, otherwise he will only become less and less willing to come. You should understand this situation."
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can know this. Xia Gu doesn't want to remind anyone anymore, because no matter how much she says, it can't overcome other people's biases.
On the other side, Xue Lan went to their nest and saw that they were still lying in bed, which made her feel a little disappointed.
"What's wrong with you guys? Didn't you agree to this yesterday? Why are you lying in bed today? Get back to work!"
“The work over there is very easy, and you can even learn a skill. I don’t know what you’re thinking, trying to run away from something like this.”
“Let me tell you, if you don’t work, there’s no food in there. You should know that very well, so why do you keep pushing my limits?”
Xue Lan made everything sound extremely serious. They never expected to be forced into this situation and didn't want to get up at all; they just wanted to lie down and live a peaceful life.
When Xue Lan saw them like this, she pulled them all up one by one and pushed them to the processing center.
After all, they need to get started so that things can get better.
Once they arrived at their destination, they had no choice but to accept the situation and start working one by one. There was nothing else they could do.
"It's so tough. I never thought we'd have to work here. If we'd known, we wouldn't have come."
