Inside the shelter.
As Lin Yi scrutinized the fish.
The little girl Natasha walked up to him, looking at the bag with great interest, "Boss, are these fish?"
"That’s right! In five days, we’ll have delicious seafood! I’ll go release them into the wild, you start planning the camp using the computer."
After saying that, Lin Yi headed towards the lake.
He was worried these fish would die, after all, it had been so ti since he took them out.
"I want to go too..." the little girl muttered softly.
She instantly fell in love with these salmon with their shimring blue scales.
She had loved going to the aquarium since she was a child, taking care of over twenty different kinds of fish, from ornantal fish to carnivorous fish, as well as crustaceans and shellfish.
She secretly thought she had to find an opportunity to ask the boss for a job in aquaculture.
When Lin Yi returned, the little girl Natasha had already quickly imrsed herself in work.
The new barracks were slightly expanded based on the original ones, and a layer was added to accommodate over a hundred soldiers.
An additional temporary equipnt storage area was planned so that soldiers could arm themselves quickly in ergencies, rather than running back to the armory.
Moreover, a dical room for severely injured soldiers was added, facilitating the placent of those who couldn’t move.
The project was estimated to cost 24,000 coins.
"Boss, I tried to save as much as possible." The little girl looked at Lin Yi, who was absentmindedly gazing at the stars.
She noticed the dirt on him, guessing it was from releasing the fish.
Lin Yi nodded, a bit of money was still left in his tooth gap.
He confird the paynt and told Solomon via radio to have the soldiers start moving into the new camp.
Then he pulled Natasha up, "Co on, we need to get moving!"
"Huh?" The little girl blinked her big eyes.
By then, Lin Yi was already moving forward, saying without turning back, "To the lake, let’s release the little fish together!"
"Yay!" Upon hearing this, a happy smile imdiately appeared on Natasha’s face.
"Boss, wait for !"
She jumped up from behind the table and ran to catch up with that tall figure about to disappear ahead.
No matter what others said, Lin Yi always paid great attention to details. So he imdiately noticed the girl’s joy when she saw the fish,
and her disappointnt when he turned to leave.
But when using the "carrot and stick" strategy, one must always wield the stick first before giving the carrot.
His forr black brother always said a good boss should care for his subordinates like family.
He knew that to be true.
Because all the black brother’s lieutenants were willing to lay down their lives for the boss, one blocked a bullet for him, and another threw himself onto a grenade.
However, the black brother always had a strict rule against won joining his team.
On that point, Lin Yi could only agree halfway since there are good and bad won in this world; it depends on the person.
Natasha was diligent and responsible, and she never complained when Lin Yi assigned tasks to her.
So Lin Yi decided to organize a small event in the na of this little girl!
By the Miraculous Lake.
The beautiful Annie waved her arms energetically as always, jumping up and down.
She shouted loudly, "Natasha, why did it take you so long to get here?! Co over here!"
"The boss has everything planned! First, we must dig a small pit to put the little fish in, then dig a small ditch leading to the lake! Whoever’s fish gets to the lake first wins!"
All the girls stood by the lake.
The fish they were used to seeing were mostly grilled or fried, so they were particularly excited upon hearing about the fish release activity.
Natasha took her position.
The event began.
Instead of digging just one pit, they dug six, along with a small ditch, then carefully placed the fish into the pits.
The little fish, sensing a nearby powerful life energy source, imdiately beca active.
As soon as the girls connected the small ditch to the pits, the fish began to swim down the 10-ter long ditch in an instant.
"Boss, look!" Annie shouted at the small ditch.
In the moonlight, six blue shadows glided down the channel like arrows leaving a bowstring, creating ripples as they went.
Natasha’s fish was in the lead, its tail fin leaving a fluorescent trail as it swayed dreamily behind.
But the other fish weren’t slow either, so even seed to catch up, and in the end, all the fish surged forward, dashing into the lake, disappearing without a trace,
"So, um... whose fish won?" Annie asked, bewildered.
Though it all happened in an instant, the girls were satisfied and imdiately started discussing the race, trying to determine whose fish arrived first.
Only the little girl Natasha shuffled over to Lin Yi.
She blushed, feeling a bit shy, "Boss, thank you for my birthday gift... I’m really happy!"
Having said that, the little girl gave the boss a tight, tight hug.
Lin Yi was dumbfounded!
Birthday? Gift!?
But... the atmosphere was already like this...
Lin Yi could only cough lightly and nod.
Then, he quickly reverted to being the strict overseer, turning to the cheerfully laughing Annie.
"Everyone should get to work! Annie, open all the reward eggs we got today."
"But boss, it’s already late..."
"There might be very useful equipnt in the rewards, and if we’re attacked tonight, we’ll need them."
After saying that, Lin Yi turned to the red-haired girl, "Sylvie, I haven’t had a chance to talk to you about the changes in your skills after reaching level 2?"
"I can now produce four tis the amount of ammunition and make bullets for non-system weapons! Oh, and I can also create and upgrade equipnt..."
Lin Yi’s eyes brightened upon hearing this!
But Sylvie hastily said, "But I still haven’t figured out how to do it..."
Seeing the boss’s delight, she felt a bit embarrassed; she had been too busy to study those skills during the recent battles.
"Got it, you can talk to Louis; maybe he has so suggestions. Also, study the Beastman equipnt a bit more."
"Okay, boss!"
...
The next morning.
At breakfast.
Solomon reported the previous night’s situation.
Under the cover of night, Beastman archers shot several rounds of burning arrows at the walls twice.
These arrows couldn’t reach the walls, so no one knew their purpose.
In addition, so Beastn attempted to attack the walls, but after losing more than a dozen people,
several Beastman Professionals arrived below the walls, trying to climb at three different spots.
But all the enemies were eventually eliminated.
The shelter’s defense was overseen by Bell in shifts, with soldiers changing every three hours and having specialized food and coffee supply.
Last night, Annie opened all the reward eggs.
It wasn’t actually a big deal—she just went through them one by one.
white rewards, 8 green rewards, 1 blue reward, and 1 purple reward.
When opening the purple reward, she had never been so nervous in her life...
She didn’t get a skill book or equipnt this ti.
But it wasn’t empty either—
It was a workbench!...
