During construction by commoners, all category material consumption is reduced by a fixed 50%.

Skills: [Technological Enlightenment lv1: Technology is the source of power. Caroline places great importance on the development and research of technology. She believes that only through continuous technological advancement can the empire maintain its competitiveness on the world stage.

Caroline is only Tier Two, so her attribute panel is straightforward, with just a few hundred words, and her attributes are almost negligible. The only thing that left an impression on Lin Rui was that he hadn’t seen such low Life Value in a long time! At 650 Life Value, a single cold breath could practically end her life. If any Knight in the territory carelessly bumped into her, she might immediately perish.

Aside from this point worth a bit of ridicule, her other traits and skills are extremely strong and direct!

Almost every line is of incomparable value, and Lin Rui just couldn’t imagine, someone standing in front of an Alchemist, suddenly entering a Divine Revelation state. A novice at lv1, without any experience accumulation or skill refinement, could directly become an lv6 senior Alchemist, able to produce countless premium potions on the production line.

Could she also guide these novices, bringing about a lecturer effect?

That’s not even the point; the key is that it doesn’t only affect novices but also applies to Master of Armaments Burton and Gray Dwarf Hero Groller’s skills.

Meaning, Master of Armaments Burton’s armament modifications, which are almost at level 25, suddenly elevate above level 30 just because a green female civil servant, wearing an academic gown, stands there. How could that be?

Could she even understand the content of armament modification at levels 20 or 30 if written into books and placed in front of her?

Groller wields a hammer based solely on intuition, without understanding any principles. How could she directly enhance his hammer-wielding experience significantly?

Not to mention, it’s not just individually effective; it’s comprehensive. While enhancing the Alchemist’s Pharmacy Skill here, she improves the Master of Armaments’ armament modifications there, and next to that, helps the Master Gardener slightly elevate the floral pruning level.

In between, she won’t miss helping Lin Rui level up his Meditation skill, quickly increasing Willpower.

Lin Rui even thought of having her placed in his bedroom, with Meditation at night being greatly enhanced by her, day in and day out.

Of course, her strongest attributes are still her series of commoner traits and skills, summed up in one word: saving!

Sparing on all fronts: saving materials, saving time, saving effort, even consistently reducing all consumption in the territory by 50%.

For example, a wonder-level building like the Holy Grail Champion Divine Hall can save two to three hundred thousand units of all high-tier materials in one go.

As for the kind of buildings consuming units of basic materials worth a few billion, she can easily save billions at once.

She is simply the most virtuous woman for household affairs.

So, what’s wrong with a commoner background? Every person digging at the empire’s cornerstone should thank the empire’s corruption!

Lin Rui clicked his tongue and set aside these thoughts for the moment.

The traits of this civil servant are fundamentally passive in effect, and placing her in the territory brings various developmental benefits.

There’s no rush in assigning her work for the time being; he could discuss territorial governance matters with her later.

Lin Rui used all the remaining Recruitment Orders in one go.

Apart from 853 commoners, there were also 147 professionals.

Among them, there were 28 female professionals, all of whom Lin Rui sent into the Rinea Sanctuary, training them into Tier Four Holy Hall Maid Guards.

Aside from the 5 Rare Level Knights, the rest were reassigned into the Black Banner Guard, thus replenishing the territory’s lost troops.

As for the commoners, Lin Rui entrusted them all to Soro, along with the remaining [Holy Light Messenger Inheritance Scrolls].

"You can release a recruitment notice in the territory. If any women are willing to join the army, the territory can provide Inheritance Scrolls to help them transition into Heroic Spirit level Holy Light Messengers."

Soro excitedly said, "Lord, rest assured. Such a good opportunity will definitely attract many applicants. After all, not only can they gain a powerful inheritance, but they can also enhance their charm comprehensively. A farmer girl with freckles on her face will quickly become perfect in appearance and figure under the transformation of Holy Light, becoming outstandingly beautiful. Which woman could resist that temptation? I think we need to prioritize those already Loyal to Death."

When put that way, it indeed sounds quite enticing.

Lin Rui thought for a moment and said, "Give a Scroll to Caroline. Even if it wastes a Priest’s spot, I don’t want this legendary-level civil servant to be accidentally harmed."

Moreover, the character of this highly competent graduate is quite interesting; upon joining the territory, her loyalty was already over 90, making betrayal almost impossible. With the various territorial traits enhancing her, her loyalty has now reached an impressive 99.

This is already one of the highest levels of initial loyalty upon entering a territory. Giving her a Scroll or a Clan Badge could easily push her loyalty to a state of Loyal to Death. Embracing her in meditation, she might just shyly lower her head without refusing.

Of course, Lin Rui’s intention wasn’t that; it was just to give her a Clan Badge, enhancing her safety in the territory!
