Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 866: Chapter 562: The Leatherworker (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, brothers!)_2

“`

Soon, the glow faded away, and the workshop appeared before my eyes.

[Tier 1 Leatherworking Shop]

[Recruitable: Tanner]

[Tanner: Wriggling Spine 1]

(Description: In this structure, one can recruit army units of affiliated factions to produce leather and leather goods.)

[Upgrade Requirements: Wood 2100, Stone 2500, Leather 850, Hemp Rope 600, Iron 320, Metal Parts 150.]

Indeed, it was a building for recruiting specialized craftsmen.

Within the building, the corresponding craftsmen could be recruited.

It seems that the success of the [Swift Eagle Leather] plan will be known shortly.

Upgrading the building to level 10.

[Level 10 Leatherworking Shop]

[Recruitable: Tanner]

[Tanner: Wriggling Spine 1]

[Abilities: Exemplary Crafting, Intermediate Processing]

[Exemplary Crafting: After successfully making a leather product, the same product’s production efficiency is increased by +15%.]

[Intermediate Processing: Records more leather crafting methods, efficiency increased by +20%.]

(Description: In this structure, one can recruit army units of affiliated factions to produce leather and leather goods.)

[Materials Needed: Hardwood 1200, Stone Bricks 1500, Thick Leather 800, Cast Iron Blocks 150, Metal Parts 1200.]

After upgrading the building to level 10, it provided two skills.

The first one, Exemplary Crafting, can increase the production efficiency of the same product.

It is a very practical capability.

And the second, Intermediate Processing, records more leather crafting methods, which may include the method to create [Swift Eagle Soft Leather].

After all, this tier 2 material is nothing particularly rare or precious.

Otherwise, it would have been priced sky-high long ago.

Fang Hao didn’t hesitate and chose to recruit immediately.

[Tanner: Wriggling Spine 1, would you like to recruit?]

Recruit.

[A hundredfold amplification initiated, recruiting 101 Skeleton Tanners.]

A flurry of light twinkled.

101 Skeleton Tanners appeared around the house.

The Tanners had relatively tall skeletons, with leather aprons tied around their fronts, one hand holding a leatherworking knife, and the other performing a chopping motion.

Both were tools for leatherworking.

“We are at your service, my lord,” the group of Skeleton Tanners immediately saluted.

Fang Hao nodded, “Welcome to the team.”

His gaze then turned to the Tanner who was leading the group and walking out of the building, “What is your name?”

“My lord, my name is Bach.”

“Good, Bach, from now on, you will be the chief of the Tanners. For future related tasks, I will assign them to you, and you will distribute them.” Fang Hao said.

[Skeleton Tanner ‘Bach’s loyalty increased by 10 points, current loyalty 77.]

Even as undead, they are still eager for power.

Each time someone is promoted to captain, their loyalty increases.

“Thank you for your trust, I will surely complete the tasks you assign,” Bach said in a low voice.

“Hmm, I believe in you, and I trust everyone else too,” Fang Hao said with a smile.

[Skeleton Tanner (Tier 1)]

[Racial Traits: Undead, Hollow Skeleton, Weakness to Light.]

[Skills: Rough Leather Processing, Leatherworking, Focused Processing.]

[Rough Leather Processing: Proficient in rough leather processing techniques, able to rework leftover scraps into something new.]

[Leatherworking: Expertise in leatherworking, production efficiency increased by +5%.]

[Focused Processing: Quality +5%, Efficiency +5%.]

[Innate Skills: Leatherworking Mastery, Leather Goods Mastery.]

(Note: Tanners have long been known for their exquisite leatherworking skills, and they have jealously guarded their technical secrets for centuries.)

The Tanner’s attributes were quite good, and they came with three skills.

He remembered when recruiting stone carvers, craftsmen themselves only had two skills.

And from the Tanner’s note, it seems their craftsmanship is kept secret from outsiders.

It’s spoken of as if it were some kind of secret technique.

After reviewing the attributes, Fang Hao directly took out [Soft Rough Leather] and handed it to Bach.

He said, “Bach, take a look at this leather and see if it’s the material for making ‘Swift Eagle Soft Leather.’

Bach accepted it, rubbing it with his white bony fingers.

It had no sense of touch, so it was unclear what he was feeling for.

“`

Then, he nodded and said, “Yes, my lord, the rough skin of these flight units can be made into ‘Swift Eagle Leather.'”

Upon hearing his definitive reply,

joy surged in Fang Hao’s heart, as it was indeed possible.

If Bach could confirm it, it meant they could be crafted.

Suppressing the excitement inside, he continued to ask, “Can you make this type of leather?”

“Certainly, my lord, but we’ll need some tools and materials,” Bach continued.

“What do you need? Tell me.”

“A tanning rack, and ‘tanning glue’,” Bach continued.

Fang Hao had blueprints for the tanning rack and could mass-produce them.

As for tanning glue, he had not heard of it.

Hopefully, it wouldn’t require another blueprint that would take time to find.

“Tanning glue… is it difficult to obtain?”

“Glue is simply a common adhesive made by boiling crushed bones and beast skin into a thick substance; we can produce it ourselves, it’s not hard to get,” said Bach.

Fang Hao was relieved.

The crafting capabilities of a transmigrator almost turned oneself redundant.

Too dependent on the system’s crafting function, everyone’s manual skills had become worthless.

Well, most transmigrators didn’t have much manual skill to begin with.

Assured that they could handle the production, Fang Hao said, “Alright, I’ll start by building you rooms for rest, a workshop for your craft, and the tanning racks. You can start working tomorrow. The bones and beast skin needed for the glue are in the warehouse; you can help yourselves to them.”

“Understood, my lord,” Bach continued.

Next, Fang Hao led the 101 Skeleton Tanners to the residential area of the undead.

This place was more like a separate neighborhood.

Within the courtyard walls stood neatly arranged four-story buildings.

Occasionally, one could see skeleton craftsmen coming in and out, making this area much more populated than the residential area of the living creatures.

It just wasn’t an atmosphere suitable for living beings.

Choosing an open space, Fang Hao began constructing houses.

One after another, four-story stone towers rose from the ground before the eyes of the Skeleton Tanners.

“Rooms, you’ll divide them among yourselves. As for the furniture, you can pick from the warehouse. And if anyone wants to sleep in a coffin, there are some ready-made ones in the warehouse to the north,” Fang Hao instructed.

“Thank you, my lord.”

[Skeleton Tanner ‘Bach’s loyalty has increased by 10 points, current loyalty 87.]

[Skeleton Tanner… loyalty has increased by 8 points, current loyalty 72.]

[Skeleton…]

A stream of prompts swiftly appeared.

The loyalty of the Skeleton Tanners increased across the board.

“Bach, you pick a room first. Then, you’ll need to come with me to set up the factory,” Fang Hao continued.

“Certainly, my lord, please wait a moment,” Bach nodded and immediately entered a nearby stone tower.

In less than two minutes, he returned, “My lord, I have made my choice.”

Fang Hao nodded, “Good, then come with me!”

Side by side, a man and a skeleton walked toward the processing zone.

Along the way, Fang Hao casually introduced him to various aspects of the territory, such as the living conditions.

And what each area of the territory was used for.

There was also information on a few key individuals.

He wanted to prevent any extreme behavior that might occur when living creatures and undead encountered each other.

Reaching an open space, he asked, “Will this place do? Any environmental requirements?”

“There are no special requirements, my lord; as long as there is ample space and we can divide areas for leather crafting and material preparation,” Bach said.

Fang Hao thought for a while and marked an area with walls on an open field.@@novelbin@@

Without the blueprints for a large, single-story factory, he could only draw up walls and have the skeleton laborers build a roof over the top.

“This area is yours now. I’ll arrange for someone to construct the roof for you tomorrow. For now, you can work on the outer grounds,” Fang Hao continued.

Bach did not raise any objections and nodded in agreement.

Fang Hao then retrieved the blueprint for the tanning rack.

[Tanning Rack: wood 12, iron 3, metal parts 3.]

He crafted 101 of them.

And gave Bach 38,000 pieces of [Soft Rough Skin].

…

Returning to the Lord’s Manor, Fang Hao took another shower.

By the time he returned to his room, a seductively shaped maid was sitting by the bed.

Today’s maid was a fox woman.

Seeing Fang Hao come in, her thick, fluffy tail began to wag.

Her eyes smoldering like silk, she cooed, “Mas… master…”
