Chapter 405 - 405 405 A Bit Talented but Not Much

405: Chapter 405: A Bit Talented but Not Much 405: Chapter 405: A Bit Talented but Not Much Looking at these things, Ye Zhi knew she had work to do again.

Ye Zhi was a career woman, sure, but it was the holiday season, and here she was burdened with so much work.

She had always been the one allocating tasks to others, and this was the first time someone had arranged things for her.

Yet, looking at these things, Ye Zhi couldn’t help herself and beckoned to her people to set off with the items.

Soon enough, a group of people had gathered.

Although they hadn’t had much time, the company had already managed it.

The critical point was that they had even found some talent.

If Zhao Guang knew, he would probably be impressed; indeed, the efficiency of someone from a prominent family was incomparable to that of an ordinary person.

Many tasks that ordinary people would struggle with, they could probably get someone to take care of with merely a word.

“This, this is a sapphire, how can it be so big?” Han Xiaoyu was also shocked.

He had specifically studied the sapphire market the previous day, but he hadn’t expected to see the real thing today, and such two large ones, at that.

The rest were all rough stones, uncut.

“What do you think?” Han Xiaoyu asked the two experts beside him.

The two of them studied the gemstones and wore somewhat peculiar expressions.

“What’s wrong, is there a problem with the gemstones?”

After a moment of hesitation, one of them spoke up, “There’s no problem with the gemstones; they’re natural sapphires alright, but this cutting technique, it’s a little…

”

“Cutting?

What’s the matter, is the cutting strange?”

“It’s not just strange, it’s very strange.

This cutting technique is meant for diamonds.

To cut sapphires with it shows a lack of expertise.

And such large sapphires at that, who on earth did this?”

The two of them seemed rather irritated, with their beards blowing and eyes bulging.

Others might not notice, but could they not?

The rest looked at each other, also confused by the situation.

They didn’t realize that Zhao Guang had simply cut them based on the diamond model.

He didn’t know the difference; after all, they were all gemstones, so he just cut them directly.

What Zhao Guang wanted was nothing more than two gemstones to serve as a sign for the business.

“Let it be, we can’t cut them again.”

That’s all there was to it.

As a sign, perhaps there was no issue.

“Amateur cutting isn’t a problem, it might even serve as a new gimmick.

If we spin a story around it, it might be easier to sell than normal gemstones,” Han Xiaoyu brightened up as he spoke.

“Then it’s up to you.

You’re the expert in this area anyway,” Ye Zhi effortlessly passed the responsibility.

“Leave it to me, I’ve already got some ideas.”

Zhao Guang, unaware of what had transpired here, had already made time to return to his own territory.

Because everyone else was distracted by the gemstones, he could attend to his affairs.

“Lord, these are the ones we have selected,” Mira said, hopping over excitedly as she saw Zhao Guang return.

But as she got closer, she hesitated a bit.

“This is the selection, is it?

Alright, I understand.”

After thinking it over, Zhao Guang inquired again, “By the way, how’s your training going?”

Zhao Guang had previously taught the Druid training methods he had purchased to Mira and others who helped around—of course, only those on his side.

As for others, without merit, he could not simply share.

Though it seemed like a quicker way to build collective strength, a lack of clear reward and punishment was a significant taboo.

If he wanted to establish a well-run territory, Zhao Guang knew he must do everything right from the start.

Certain things simply could not be handled on a whim.

“Mhm mhm, we’ve already seen results,” Mira became excited when mentioning this.

The Rabbitfolk had always been among the weakest of tribes due to their inability to practice any disciplines.

Their innate physical conditions were poor and their combat strength weak, not to mention that most training methods were ineffective for them.

That had led to their current uselesness.

But now, things were different.

Although they had only just begun their training, it was a new path nonetheless.

They weren’t afraid of the difficult journey ahead; their biggest fear was having no path to tread.

As long as they could prove themselves capable, there would be no problem.

However, as Mira’s demonstration continued, Zhao Guang began to frown.

Because the Rabbitfolk’s progress was just too slow.

Jeana’s progress, in contrast, had been much faster.

No, “faster” was not the word; they were not even on the same level.

It was unclear whether it was due to the lack of a teacher or some other reason.

Their pace was perhaps only one-tenth the speed of Jeana’s.

Zhao Guang wondered if, once the Mage’s Resonance Tower was constructed, it might accelerate their training pace.

“Take your time, no need to rush; maybe your talents lie elsewhere.” That was all Zhao Guang could offer by way of consolation, but Mira did not seem to mind in the slightest.

Perhaps because they had never been able to train in the first place, even the slightest ability to do so now was an improvement.

“Yes, I know.

I will definitely carve out a path for the Rabbitfolk and become a real force for you, Lord,” she resolved.

The Rabbitfolk were not afraid of hardship or even sacrifice; their fear was being useless.

It was their uselessness that had the Beastmen chase them to the fringes, and now even to the feet of Humans.

Had they been the slightest bit useful, they wouldn’t have been driven out repeatedly.

Since arriving under Zhao Guang’s command and discovering their talent in identifying plants was useful, their whole tribe had been giving their all.

Now, realizing they could train, and that training method was even provided by the Lord himself, the Rabbitfolk saw Zhao Guang practically as a deity—in fact, they respected him even more than they would a god.

After all, their gods hadn’t really cared for them over the years, had they?

“Alright, continue training.

You might try adapting the techniques according to your talents.”

With such a slow rate of progress, the emergence of any mighty warriors was unlikely, so Zhao Guang wasn’t too concerned.

As long as they could handle farming tasks, it didn’t matter if they were a bit weak, even if their adaptations went awry.

What he didn’t anticipate was how his words would eventually change the entire atmosphere among the Rabbitfolk.

After leaving, Zhao Guang went to his room.

There were quite a few tasks that had piled up in recent days, all needing his personal attention.

“Master, the training pace of the Rabbitfolk seems a bit slow,” Xi Fei remarked hesitantly as she saw Zhao Guang approach.

“Yeah, it is as I expected.

They indeed have talent, but it’s a bit lacking.

Never mind, I had no intention of them entering a battlefield.

As long as they can do the farming work, that’s all that matters,” he replied.

It had to be admitted, the crops that the Rabbitfolk had selected were indeed quite good.
