When he opened his eyes again, he was met with a panoramic view of green, replacing the once blue vista. Ahead lay a vast, flat field adorned with freshly sprouted grass, flanked by small forests on either side. In the distance, the outlines of a blue sea and distant islands were barely discernible, with seabirds occasionally gliding overhead.
"Patriarch!"
"Leader!"
Two voices, bearing different titles, emanated from individuals with contrasting appearances. Lei Jiu turned to see two distinct groups: one comprised of tall, robust figuresâ€"three males and two femalesâ€"led by a burly man referred to as the patriarch; the other, of average height and slender buildâ€"two men and three womenâ€"led by a middle-aged man with a long beard, who addressed Lei Jiu as "leader."
Both groups were dressed in rough sackcloth and straw sandals, bearing the marks of toil.
Lei Jiu shifted his feet subconsciously, feeling a chill as he touched the coarse fabric of his attire. Clearly, shedding this garb was not an option at the moment.
Though all ten individuals appeared fatigued, they seemed oddly excited. Perhaps they had found a suitable place to settle?
Undoubtedly, the system had orchestrated their appearance. Otherwise, why would they need to search for a location on such a vast island with a central plain?
As Lei Jiu glanced at his ten subordinates, he was about to speak when a prompt interrupted: "Ding! Please collect the novice island master gift pack!"
Newbie gift pack?
"Got it!"
"The player successfully received the novice island master gift pack, and obtained 100 silver coins (1 gold = 100 silver = 10,000 copper), 100 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of fish, and 100 cubic meters of wood!"
A plethora of items suddenly materialized before Lei Jiu, dominated by the voluminous 100 cubic meters of wood.
While convenient, the novice gift pack paled in comparison to materials bought with money. Items procured beforehand could be summoned to any designated location in the specified quantity.
"Everyone, let's gather these supplies first and then start building some wooden houses; otherwise, we'll be sleeping out in the open tonight!" With only eleven people, Lei Jiu, being a red-haired species, constituted a significant labor force. However, he refrained from directing others and instead worked alongside them.
The rice, sea fish, and copper coins would have to wait. It was still morning, and they could return to cook here at noon. The group first carried the wood to the planned housing area.
The five red-haired individuals effortlessly carried four or five square meters of wood each, while Lei Jiu lugged a smaller load behind. The remaining five silver-haired men struggled, barely carrying half the wood.
Despite their fatigued expressions, the result of their labor was touching. Lei Jiu confirmed the stark difference in physical endurance between the red-haired and silver-haired species.
As they worked, Lei Jiu pondered his attributes.
Lei Jiu blinked, taken aback by his singular skillâ€"Infinite Analysis. Initially dismissing it as a mere early-game advantage, Lei Jiu now recognized its significance.
If only he had known about this skill earlier, he might have pursued the Adventurer path. However, as an island owner, he lacked the time to level up or hone his skills. Regardless, Infinite Analysis was a valuable asset, albeit one he couldn't fully utilize.
Lei Jiu lamented the missed opportunity for a more advantageous lord attribute, such as enhancing people's morale, increasing food production, or improving labor efficiency.
Nevertheless, he accepted the skill gratefully. Though not ideal, it was better than nothing.
Basic attributes lacked attributes such as attack or defense power, resembling "Pro War." Damage calculation factored in attack speed, status, and real-time adjustments.
Lei Jiu blinked, realizing the system would no longer respond after entering the game. Once addressed as Jiuxiao Island Master, Lei Jiu was now simply referred to as "player."
He would have to figure things out himself.
Next, Lei Jiu turned his attention to his subordinates, starting with the red-haired leader.
