Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Chapter 326: Progress In Crest-Hill Barony

( Leo’s POV )

About three weeks after Leo assumed his new post as a Baron, the factories promised by the White Tiger Group were finally completed, allowing him to hold his first mass training session for the workers.

Four factories were established for Leo: three dedicated to producing various useful poisons and potions, and one specifically for the production of the green healing liquid, which was the White Tiger Group’s most coveted product.

However, alongside these four factories, countless other factories were set up by the White Tiger Group to create a comprehensive ecosystem of production.

Leo soon realized that Shane was much smarter than he had initially thought as not only did Shane build four factories for Leo, but he also seized the opportunity to establish numerous additional factories for himself.

While Leo had not seriously considered other essential aspects of his production process, such as the air-sealed bottles for his poisons and potions, the wooden corks to seal them, or the massive containers for transporting the green healing liquid, Shane had already thought of everything.

Understanding that Leo would need these products in bulk, Shane decided to produce them himself and sell them to Leo at a cost that remained profitable for him, however, by deducting transportation costs, Shane’s products were cheaper for Leo than any imported goods, which was an ingenious way for him to make additional profits.

By finding a business inside a business, Shane gave Leo a glimpse of what it meant to be a real entrepreneur as by the time Leo actually understood what was going on, he was thoroughly impressed by Shane’s foresight and years of experience as a merchant.

“So, after about fifteen minutes of boiling this mixture, we add 1 part of ox bone powder inside and stir constantly” Leo instructed, as he demonstrated by adding a portion of the ox bone himself and stirred it violently.

Copying him, the other workers also tried to do the same, with some being able to grasp it instantly, while others forming lumps in the mixture because their stirring technique was not fast and thorough enough.

“If you see lumps in your mixture then know that you fucked up, and throw the batch away.

We do not want lumps in our product okay?” Leo instructed, as he took a tour of the room and rejected 17/51 worker batches.

“Finally, we add the secret blend of ingredients–” Leo said, as he cracked open a secret blend which was the key herb secret of the poison that they were brewing, as although Leo did not mistrust his workers, he wanted to protect his business secrets as tightly as possible as in the end it was the secret formula to his products that was going to earn him his share of money.

“After adding the secret blend, let it rest for one hour after which it should have turned into a pure orange in color….. if it’s red or pink, the batch is a failure, so discard it. However, if it’s. Perfectly Orange like this…. Then know you did a good job” Leo said, as he pointed towards a pre-packed bottle of the Orange Poison, which looked glistening and perfect to view.

Passing the vial around, Leo completed his training session for the day, as he gave all the workers enough ingredients to brew approximately 10 batches a day.

For now, Leo wanted to train them for at least a week before giving them their daily work quotas, as he wanted every worker to actually learn the skill they were expected to perform on a daily basis before dumping their daily workload on them.

“Alright, that’s it for the Orange Poison, time for me to move to the next room and teach the next batch of workers how to make the Purple Poison” Leo muttered to himself, as he left the brewing room only to enter another where yet another class was waiting for his teachings.

( Meanwhile Ben )

At the same time that Leo was teaching the factory workers, Ben whipped the newly recruited soldiers of the Crest-Hill Barony into shape.

“What is this lousy push-up technique…. My grandmother can do better push-ups than you punk…. AND SHE’S DEAD” Ben shouted, as he absolutely humiliated a soldier, hoping that he would take it as motivation and show proper form.

“Yes, General Ben! Sir! I will do better sir” the soldier said, immediately improving his form as his hands trembled from the overexertion.

“*Sigh*, I had become too spoiled from training that freaky brat.

Only after training these useless soldiers do I realize just how much of a monster that kid is, to have learnt everything I wanted to teach him with only one demonstration” Ben muttered, as he re-realised just how talented Leo was by training ordinary soldiers.

Although the Crest-Hill Barony military training grounds were still under construction, making it difficult for Ben to conduct proper weapon training sessions, he still decided to take the cadets on a physical sprint and exercise routine twice a day, just so that he could whip some discipline and fitness into them before proceeding to the weapons training stage.

However, with how slow progress had been, Ben realized that the army needed at least 3 months of basic body stretching and conditioning before even moving to the weapons training stage, as contrary to his expectations, the general progress was much slower than what he had anticipated.

“What the hell are you doing son? Are you trying to poke a hole into mother earth with your boner? Because in what world do you thrust your hips during a push-up?

CHEST DOWN LEGS STRAIGHT.

DON’T GYRATE YOUR HIPS” Ben shouted, as he absolutely lost his cool watching a cadet trying to have sex with the soil.

Although he secretly enjoyed his new role as a military Instructor, there were moments in this new job where he longed for a retired life instead as although Ben was a rational man, he sometimes struggled to maintain his composure around some of the more infuriating individuals he had to deal with.
