Holding the bone-cutting knife in hand, Lynn swung again at the pork to be used for lunch.

…

Until noon.

After having a casual lunch in the cafeteria, Lynn sat on a bench at the edge of the open square.

With a thought, he opened the [Resident Information Panel], and Lynn began to check.

According to what Grayson said, all these slaves came from the imperial war of the Portlands Empire.

Therefore, naturally, there would be some special individuals.

Lynn began filtering according to abilities.

In the area of [Construction].

[Avery Dean]: Construction Level 3, Production Level 3, Collection Level 2

[Lorenzo Reeves]: Construction Level 3, Hunting Level 2, Collection Level 2

[Jode Tek]: Construction Level 3, Production Level 2, Collection Level 2

…

Suddenly, the information boxes of three individuals with Level 3 [Construction] skills caught Lynn's eye.

The first, Avery, not only has Level 3 [Construction] but also Level 3 [Production]!

This is an invaluable talent for the rail construction he is about to undertake.

With another thought.

Lynn filtered in the area of [Planting].

[Randolph Villa]: Planting Level 3, Collection Level 3, Cooking Level 2

[Terence Vick]: Planting Level 2, Production Level 2, Cooking Level 2

…

Aside from Randolph, who has two skills at Level 3, everyone else in the area of planting is rather ordinary.

At most, there's Terence with Level 2 [Planting].

However.

Lynn thought and found it normal.

These people aren't slaves caught from villages or forests.

Rather, they are genuine free people from small towns or cities.

They don't possess notable abilities in agricultural planting.

Lynn filtered for [Production].

[Rachel Richards]: Production Level 3, Collection Level 3, Cooking Level 3

[Pamela Arnold]: Production Level 3, Breeding Level 2, Cooking Level 2

[Amber Allen]: Production Level 3, Planting Level 2, Breeding Level 2

[Renée Richmond]: Production Level 3, Collection Level 2, Planting Level 2

…

Looking at the information panels in front of him, with over a dozen individuals showing Level 3 [Production] skills.

Lynn raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

Just as he suspected.

These people are mostly craftsmen.

Moreover, they are craftsmen with high-level skills!

Conveniently, Lynn needs townsmen with crafting skills.

Lynn generally glanced over, there are twenty female residents with Level 3 [Production] skills.

Additionally, there are thirty female residents with Level 2 [Production].

After training them at the lumberyard to temper their spirits a bit, he then plans to assign them to Yimini's placement workshop.

He can even select some female residents with Level 1 skills to make up to one hundred individuals.

Expanding Yimini's textile workshop to three hundred people!

Temporarily putting down the plans in his mind, Lynn continued filtering.

With a thought, information boxes with [Breeding] skills as the primary focus floated into Lynn's view.

[Brendan Xavier]: Breeding Level 3, Collection Level 3, Production Level 2

[Nora Ferguson]: Breeding Level 3, Cooking Level 2, Production Level 2

[Betina Nek]: Breeding Level 3, Cooking Level 3, Planting Level 2

…

After filtering for [Production] skills, having eight individuals with Level 3 [Breeding] skills no longer surprises Lynn.

However.

These eight townsmen with Level 3 [Breeding] skills are indeed important to Lynn.

Next year, the ranch will enter large-scale breeding and cultivation, naturally needing as many townsmen with [Breeding] skills as possible.

Afterward.

Lynn continued filtering for [Collection], [Hunting], [Cooking], [Medicine], [Forging] one by one.

Almost every industry has three or four, or even four or five, townsmen with Level 3 skills.

Just right to fulfill his talent needs for large-scale development of handicrafts.

Lynn made a summary.

Among the slaves sent by Grayson, there are as many as one hundred with Level 3 skills!

According to what Grayson said.

The Portlands Empire's imperial war is just beginning!

This means slaves will continuously be sent to his territory in the future.

But soon.

Lynn thought of a problem.

Even if one side in the Portlands Empire's imperial war fails, aren't supporters still citizens of the Portlands Empire?

Citizens of the Portlands Empire were sold as slaves by Audrey before the imperial war ended…

This woman is using the citizens of the Portlands Empire to replenish funds!

One truly takes from the people and gives to the people!

Closing the panel, Lynn glanced over the townsmen who had completed their work.

Some townsmen, seeing Lynn, also paid their respects to him attentively.

Their eyes filled with admiration and respect.

Minutes later.

A guard came running quickly, finally stopping in front of Lynn.

Lynn looked at the guard, remembering him as one of the guards watching over the dungeon.

The guard stopped in front of Lynn, bowed and saluted respectfully, "Master."

Lynn asked, "What's the matter?"

The guard explained, "Master, the prisoner in the dungeon said she is willing to cooperate with you."

"However, she has one condition!"

Lynn said nothing, waiting for the guard's explanation.

"Her condition is that she wants to sign a demon contract with you!"

"If she passes your test, she can only help you for five years, after which, regardless of circumstances, she will choose to leave!"
