Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 203: Taking Shape

Cheng Sicheng patted the back of his mother’s hand with his half-grown hand, "Mom, you didn’t hear wrong, it’s really calling you."

"Then, what should I do?"

Chen Xiaomei was so nervous that she couldn’t even speak clearly.

"I think Xiaoxiao has a great eye, mom’s needlework is the best." Cheng Sicheng smiled warmly and innocently, he knew Xiaoxiao had everything under control.

He was very grateful to Xiaoxiao for giving his mom this opportunity.

Because of her identity, mom always avoided people in the village, afraid of their gossip, living so timidly all the time.

Her character became more and more withdrawn and timid, she became quite depressed, and her smile gradually disappeared.

Now she has work she likes and is good at, and can help Xiaoxiao and the team, she will definitely become more cheerful and won’t cry silently behind his back anymore.

"But I’m afraid..."

"Mom doesn’t need to be afraid of anything, now in the team, Xiaoxiao calls the shots, no one dares to gossip anymore, the old clan rules no longer bind us."

"Nonsense, we should still do what’s right, you can’t cause trouble for Xiaoxiao, she’s a great benefactor to our family." Chen Xiaomei scolded her son playfully.

"Yes, yes, everything mom says is right." Cheng Sicheng looked obedient and endearing.

He only showed such an innocent and harmless look in front of his mom.

Which made the system in Cheng Xiaoxiao’s mind complain again.

"I noticed, you have a particular interest in Cheng Sicheng?" The system always teased him intentionally.

The system was speechless, "Who else but him is the little deviant in your team."

"Alright! He’s still a kid, stop calling him a deviant."

Once the topic was brought up the system wouldn’t stop, so Cheng Xiaoxiao quickly blocked it out, finally some peace and quiet.

"We still need to establish a department of foreign affairs."

"Xiao, what’s a department of foreign affairs?" Grandpa Six asked.

"The Department of Foreign Affairs is responsible for gathering intelligence, scouting, coordinating lodging, collecting information, etc.

It’s a rather tough and dangerous job. I suggest Qi Fei take the position of captain, as for the vice-captain, we will decide after the captain’s assessment. I believe everyone knows that Qi Fei used to run errands. His social skills are stronger than many others in the village."

Everyone had to admit that the village indeed lacked talent in this area.

"Does anyone have a different opinion?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked around at everyone.

"No, no, that boy Qi Fei is very smart, he’d be perfect as the captain."

Cheng Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and added, "Also, Uncle Dali will be responsible for taking care of the livestock in the team. We only have four means of transportation now, so we won’t set up a separate department, we’ll discuss this when we grow."

Cheng Dali, who was mentioned, was very happy, as he used to be a cart driver and was very skilled at looking after livestock.

"Additionally, those interested in studying medicine can sign up with Grandpa Huang.

Those who feel they have no special skills can help collect herbs."

"That’s all I can think of. Does anyone have anything to add?"

"Xiaoxiao arranged it very well, let’s execute it this way!" the village chief said joyfully.

Xiao’s arrangements were fair and reasonable, everyone trusted her and believed the team would get better and better.

"Alright, the next task is to organize the previous loot, count the total resources, and from tomorrow, distribute according to labor. This task will trouble Grandpa the village chief."

Cheng Zhenglian nodded and let his eldest son start counting.

"Everyone can choose a team based on their skills, later the captain will compile all the names and hand them to me.

As for the work point system, everyone has had a little exposure in the village before, now we will settle everything according to work points.

As long as you are a member of the team, your daily labor will be converted into work points, which can be used in every aspect of life. The more work points you earn, the more extra resources you can exchange for."

Everyone understood this easily, as Xiaoxiao had previously implemented work points in the village for fishing, which they accepted quickly. What they didn’t understand was the performance evaluation, what were Contribution Points for?

"Contribution Points are a reward mechanism for those who make significant contributions to the team, encouraging everyone to contribute more.

Contribution Points can be exchanged for special items, as for which items, I will bring out a batch every three months for you to choose from. You should not think Contribution Points are easy to earn, they must come from outside daily labor and be a contribution to the team to count as Contribution Points, regular work will only be settled by work points.

To give a simple example, if Brother Dashan hunts a wild boar and contributes it to the team, his contribution will be converted into Contribution Points."

Seeing Tie Dan looking at Cheng Dashan with envy, as if Brother Dashan had already hunted a wild boar, she joked, "Or if one day Tie Dan finds a hundred taels on the road and contributes them to the team, it also counts as his Contribution Points."

Tie Dan, being named suddenly, looked surprised, why... why did they mention him?

He couldn’t be that lucky to find money?

Sister Xiaoxiao was simply teasing him!

Aunt Liu looked delighted, as if her son really could find money.

Looking at them, Cheng Xiaoxiao was speechless, what were these people’s minds thinking? It was just an analogy, they were obsessed with money.

"Of course, these easier tasks don’t earn many Contribution Points, but with slow accumulation, if you want to qualify for exchange, you need to work hard."

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t elaborate because the timing wasn’t right yet, once they saw the real items, they would go crazy for it.

After confirming these, Grandpa the village chief had already tallied the resources collected from Yu County and reported to Cheng Xiaoxiao.

"Now give everyone fifteen minutes to form teams."

After saying this, she started discussing with Grandpa the village chief about the distribution of materials and the calculation of work points.

Once they formed the teams, the team leaders joined the discussion too, and only near dawn was the final plan confirmed.

Everyone was in a good mood today, as if they had found a new goal to strive for.

The next day, when the first rays of morning light shone on the mountain, everyone could smell the aroma of rice porridge.

It turned out, the eldest aunt had arranged for people to get up early to cook breakfast, after which they would rush on their way.

At this time, Cheng Beiniu of the patrol team was already training with his newly assembled team on the distant field.

Huang Zhongyi, taking advantage of the lush vegetation in the mountains, led people up the hills to gather medicinal herbs. Cheng Genzi led team members to collect useful branches to make baskets and baskets.

The little ones enthusiastically helped gather firewood, carrying it back and forth, not feeling tired knowing collecting firewood also earns work points, their little faces covered in dirt, they didn’t mind, and soon a group of children turned into little flower cats.

Everyone had their own tasks and was busy with them, completely different from the decadent appearance of a few days ago.

The camp was thriving with vitality, although the awareness of teamwork wasn’t very obvious yet, the future was promising.

From now on, the renowned 132th Regiment began to take shape.
