From Jiucai Rong's perspective, both options were tempting.

They could directly influence the entire manor's development path, leading to a direct fork in the manor's technology tree.

But he ultimately chose the new race.

They are people, after all!

Isn't he curious?

Aren't the hundred blacksmiths present curious?

He was not a dictator; he just held a hundred-person voting decision within the manor.

80 votes passed.

This only proves that this option is the will of the people.

Ning Zheng wasn't too concerned about Jiucai Rong's choice.

After all, it was given casually, with no real use.

For Ning Zheng, obtaining the Meat Field was sufficient.

Although Ai usually seemed dull, sometimes she spoke wisely.

As long as you give them a little bit of profit, they'll be happy, gleefully earning various cultivation resources for you.

Ning Zheng can understand their feelings.

After all, when playing games as a child, learning a new move was always exciting, although childhood is long gone.

In reality, Ning Zheng is quite satisfied with the manor's development now.

After they successfully defeated the crows, he plans to truly develop this force to earn resources.

Ning Zheng said: "Recently, the manor has developed quite well."

"That's right."

Jiucai Rong feels a bit proud and plans to give a tour around:

"Next, after the war ends, we plan to vigorously develop the manor's various enterprises, advancing together."

Currently, it is still quite crude.

But it already has some functional facilities.

The most popular blacksmith shop goes without saying.

The dormitory starts with fine decorations, creating personal dormitories, essentially using boards to separate, resulting in individual iron net bed compartments in the air to protect privacy.

For example, the dining shop, handled by the duo [Food God] and [Shao Chaikun].

And there's a medical clinic, treating various injuries and researching medicine.

It also specializes in a cosmetic surgery section that Ning Zheng doesn't quite understand, managed by a [Medical Fairy] Money Lolita.

Ning Zheng, using [Blossoming Wealth], chatted with the audience's perspective, learning that the blacksmith [Medical Fairy] is a medical student, lately addicted to dissecting white mice, wanting to try it here.

But everyone is not very trusting of her.

Always feels like she's an unreliable female driver, preparing to evolve into a [player face-changing] service.

The game's login character customization feature she will provide!

Then she'll fulfill her dream:

Everyone entering the dressing room will be her face-changing models, freely dressing up as miraculous Barbie dolls!

Ning Zheng considers it quite straightforward and grounded, much better than those chattering blacksmiths,

because she is genuinely dissecting, learning cosmetic surgery, and researching technology.

When Jiucai Rong just entered the door, they heard her and her assistant dissecting the corpse of a Money Child who died in the war,

"The structure inside this body, so wild."

"I said our Money Child was tough!"

"With this physique, it should have had a cesarean section long ago; the iron net bed is practically anti-human and anti-social, part of primitive tribe life. We should directly install big bladders, super large capacity, which can also solve the issue of frequent urination and urgency."

"It's a pity, the medical daggers weren't crafted well before; otherwise, I could've done a demonstration on the spot, showcasing my skills."

Ning Zheng had seen [Medical Fairy] before.

Before, when using the restroom, Jiucai Rong's solution was to build a fully automated dormitory, with a mechanical technology approach.

And this one enthusiastically suggested back then, proposing the solution of opening the belly, installing a big-capacity bladder, with a biological technology approach.

The Medical Fairy obviously didn't give up.

She believes Jiucai Rong's fully automated dormitory is human residue, too ugly, and continues vigorously promoting her medical reform philosophy within the manor.

She speaks with conviction, continuing her research with her assistant:

"Look, here, the infection rate is minimal for openings; installing a parallel bladder means there are two, and the surgery difficulty is notably low."

"But it's best not to place them inside the belly; after all, two bladders bulging will make the belly swell like a potbelly. I suggest placing them on the chest; the longer you hold it, the prettier you become..."

They passionately discuss until Jiucai Rong coughs several times to call them back.

"Good steward, sir." The Medical Fairy feels a bit awkward, "You're here."

"No problem." Ning Zheng simply feels she's a very innovative person.

Being a physician is also one of the subsidiary professions in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Not inferior to being an Alchemist, possibly even a life-saving profession.

Unable to afford hiring physicians for the manor, cultivating one is also quite good, albeit possibly unable to heal myself, but healing these lively blacksmiths can also reduce casualties.

Soon, I might bring some medical books over, with low investment cost, providing endless profit if successful.

Though physicians are typically cultivators, healing type Wood Spirit Root, if she truly has talent, I could obtain a Spiritual Root for her.

Subsequently, after casually chatting with this manor's physician, asked her to continue working hard.

[Medical Fairy] received praise, and Jiucai Rong's face visibly brightened with pride.

Jiucai Rong does not mind this female physician having opinions about him, because he thinks she shows capability, possesses ideas, and is bold enough to experiment, and possibly could work.

Besides his manor's blacksmith Mechanical Ascension, there's also the flesh ascension!

Especially for the steward, he's well-experienced!

Not knowing how many times he's wandered the Jianghu, receiving high recognition!

A red-faced and radiant Jiucai Rong was even more delighted, couldn't help but boast:

"She truly is amazing! Honestly speaking, our manor's Money Lolita is actually much easier to manage than those troublemaking Money Child..."

Seemingly realizing he'd said the wrong thing, he added: "Uh, although we don't differentiate by gender, internally we do. We distinguish between Lolita and Child."

Ning Zheng nodded, "Let's see what they're up to."

"Right, I'll show you to see for yourself." Jiucai Rong gave Ning Zheng a tour.

Except for a few bold girls who enjoy wielding large hammers for forging, the majority of these Lolitas have three main playstyles:

1. Be a Hairpin Lady.

Creating beautiful accessories at the blacksmith shop, beads, DIY ancient style hair accessories, crafting these accessories as magical artifacts.

Step shakes, hairpins, hair crowns, tassels, necklaces...

They are already addicted to creating hairpins!

Ensconced at their tool desks, playing joyfully, planning to engrave personal brand logos on their creations, dreaming of becoming women of the Hairpin Lady King!

Making all Fairies and Immortal Fairies across the realm crave for their accessories.

2. Dress-up and customization.

Aside from that one [Medical Fairy] who's into hardcore physical aesthetic customization.

Other Money Lolitas are into makeup, even the edible earth was repurposed as pigment, some even becoming beauty bloggers, editing videos.

Jiucai Rong doesn't really care for them.

Not productive, purely scenic game enthusiasts; truly reprehensible, impacting my Lord of the Manor's profit!

3. Clothing.

They're using a Defense Tower as a framework to establish a clothing workshop, humans are ultimately flexible.

Without silk, they use Magic Copper strands, weaving slender copper threads into Golden Silk Thread Robes, even crow feathers are used as materials.

Planning to craft Hanfu and various ancient-style decorations.

Rumor has it, their goal is to turn the second floor of the tower into their dressing room, filled with beautiful clothes, shoes.

Just now, these fervent Lolitas issued tasks at the blacksmith shop, asking blacksmiths to craft a loom for them.

Jiucai Rong was a bit stunned at the time: what is this group of Money Lolitas playing? Miraculous Warmth?

Can only say...

Well done!

These magical robes seem very promising, later convince them to sell, and our Lord of the Manor can earn a hefty sum.
