Thirteen new residents all used the resident upgrade vouchers together.
In the end, a total of three birdmen, two farmers, three giants, two archers, two axemen, and one support (healing type) were produced.
And what was most strange was that all of the birdmen were actually female.
While all of the farmers and giants were male.
'Looks like… these unit types should all have fixed genders.'
Still, gaining three new professions made Ethan especially happy.
Especially the giant profession, it really made people look forward to it.
Right now, at only level 2, they could already expand to three meters tall. Then when they reach level 3, would they expand to four or five meters? If they level up a few more times, could they eventually grow to twenty meters?
'Tsk! Tsk!'
'In Attack on Titan, a single giant could slaughter an entire city.'
'If my three giants can level up a bit more, maybe they can wipe out a city too. They'd practically be weapons of war.'
'And there is also the birdman profession.'
That basically meant flying units. In a siege battle, Ethan could prepare some compressed bombs or something, have the birdmen carry them above the enemy city, then drop them.
BOOM!
Just thinking about it made Ethan feel excited.
As for the farmer, although it didn't look very useful, his two special abilities, accelerating plant growth and increasing harvest yield, were still somewhat useful.
Besides, Ethan's villa had been upgraded further into a manor.
The farm garden had expanded to twenty plots, each plot able to plant about a hundred crops. Altogether, that was roughly two thousand plants.
The logistics team already had to take care of the entire manor's cleanliness. Not just the residents' building, but also a lot of other miscellaneous tasks.
Now that the land area had grown, making them handle all of it really wasn't appropriate anymore.
So, Ethan decided it was better to assign specific people to specific tasks.
"Number 50 and Number 51, step forward."
Ethan called out.
The two farmers immediately stepped out from the group of thirteen men and women, then knelt on both knees toward Ethan and said, "Lord, what are your orders?"
"From now on, you'll be called Farmer One and Farmer Two."
Terrible at naming, Ethan directly gave them simple, easy-to-remember names, "Also, from now on, you don't need to kneel all the time in front of me. Get up."
"Yes, Lord."
Ethan gestured at the two of them, and they hurriedly stood up.
But when they responded, they suddenly didn't know whether they should stand or kneel, which made Ethan both amused and exasperated, "Alright, alright. You don't need to be so stiff. Just relax a bit around me."
After saying that, Ethan looked at the three women who had changed into birdmen and said, "You'll be called Bird One, Bird Two, and Bird Three."
"Yes, Lord."
Bird One, Bird Two, and Bird Three responded in unison. But the three women were a bit smarter than the farmer brothers.
They cleverly didn't kneel. Instead, they bowed deeply to show respect. After Ethan nodded, he looked at the three women with their perfect curves and suddenly grew curious about what they would look like after turning into birdmen.
"Well, um… can you transform into birdmen and show me?"
"Y-yes, Lord."
Bird One stammered in response.
Bird Two and Bird Three, meanwhile, flushed red, lowering their heads, looking extremely shy.
Even though all three of them were birdmen, only Bird One turned around at that moment, preparing to take off her clothes.
Only then did Ethan finally understand why Bird Two and Bird Three weren't moving.
So turning into birdmen required taking off clothes. No wonder they felt embarrassed. But they couldn't disobey the lord's orders, so they could only reluctantly start undressing…
"Wait!"
Ethan raised his hand to stop her.
Bird One quickly stopped removing her clothes and turned back around, "L-Lord, do you have any other orders?"
"You have to take off your clothes to grow wings?", Ethan asked, a bit puzzled, "If that's the case, you can go upstairs to do it. It's fine. In the future, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me directly. You don't have to force yourselves, understand?"
"Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!"
Bird One, Bird Two, and Bird Three almost knelt at the same time.
Although when they chose to become residents, their original memories had disappeared (or were restricted), their personalities and some innate traits were still retained.
For example, propriety, a sense of shame, and the distinction between men and women.
It was just that they were bound by their inability to go against the lord's will, so many things had to be done whether they wanted to or not.
But now… the lord was actually considering their feelings. How could that not make them happy.
[Resident Bird One: Loyalty +20]
[Resident Bird Two: Loyalty +15]
[Resident Bird Three: Loyalty +15]
Seeing the loyalty of the birdmen shoot up, Ethan immediately broke into a wide grin, "I said, no need to kneel in the future."
"No, Lord," The birdman trio hurriedly explained, "This time, we sincerely want to thank you. We really didn't expect you to consider such small details for us. We… we are truly… truly very grateful to you!"
"Alright, alright, I've received your gratitude. Get up!"
Ethan waved his hand with a smile.
Only then did the birdman trio happily get up and head upstairs to transform.
Ethan sat on the sofa, watching the birdmen sway their hips as they went upstairs. He thought to himself that their wing transformation only lasted half an hour.
If a battle dragged on, it wouldn't be convenient for them to keep hiding to change clothes.
Maybe… he should have Cook Four figure out a way to design some long robes or similar clothing suitable for birdmen. That way it would be convenient for them to transform while also protecting their privacy.
Just as Ethan was thinking… the birdman trio came downstairs again.
He saw, leading them was a white bird. Where her arms used to be had turned into two huge wings, covered entirely in white feathers, somewhat like a pigeon's wings.
As for her body, aside from her original feet turning into bird claws, there weren't too many changes elsewhere, just densely covered in feathers.
Those feathers extended all the way up over her chest, giving off a strangely beautiful feeling.
And their heads, were still human heads. Their facial features hadn't changed. The only difference was their hair.
Originally, the girls all had jet-black hair. But after turning into birdmen, their hair color had all changed to match their feathers.
For example, Bird One had white feathers, and her hair had turned into bright, gleaming white. Not only did it not make her look old, it even gave off a kind of mixed-blood, exotic beauty.
