Chapter 77 - Blushing Miwei!
After moving into the new castle, Richard’s days became noticeably more comfortable.
The spacious modern bed, paired with a soft latex mattress, covered with pure cotton sheets that cost thousands each, and topped with a silk quilt.
The feeling was incredibly comfortable.
The only thing missing was a television, but after crossing over, Richard didn’t care about watching TV anymore.
“Oh, the library can be put into use now.” Richard thought.
The library had three floors.
The first floor was the literacy area, where people could learn to read and write. Richard planned to put some very simple, illustrated basic literacy books in there.
The second floor was for students from the school, and the books there would be slightly more challenging.
The third floor was for people with higher cultural levels, and it contained books of various types.
The bookshelves for the library had already been delivered, costing Richard quite a bit of money. Now he just needed to put the books in.
With the size of the library, quite a few books would be needed to fill it.
Richard planned to buy them in batches.
Most of the money now was still being used for development.
.
Feeling too comfortable, Richard overslept on the first day he moved into the new castle.
Well, mainly because he had just changed environments last night, and Richard couldn’t sleep, so he stood on the balcony and watched the stars all night. Now his balcony was an independent one, and he couldn’t chat with the cat girl through the window like before.
Of course, if Richard wanted to, he could still chat with the cat girl below from the balcony.
So, the next day, Richard unusually slept in.
Early in the morning, several fox-eared maids and Miwei, the little cat girl, got up.
However, they didn’t see Richard today, which was somewhat strange.
“Why hasn’t Master gotten up today?”
Several fox-eared maids were curious.
“Miwei, why don’t you go check?”
One of the fox maids suggested.
Within the castle, Miwei’s status was higher than theirs; after all, she was Richard’s personal maid.
Miwei quietly made her way, crossed the small hall on the third floor, and arrived at the door of Richard’s bedroom.
Then Miwei noticed that Richard’s bedroom was slightly ajar.
This was because he had forgotten to close it last night, as the castle was quite secure.
Cat girls had quite sensitive ears and noses, and no one could sneak into the castle without being noticed by Miwei.
Moreover, it was impossible to infiltrate such a high castle.
Miwei pressed her ear against the door and listened, only hearing a faint sound of breathing coming from the bedroom.
“Could Master still be sleeping?” Miwei wondered.
It was already late morning, and Richard had never slept in this late before.
Thinking this, Miwei began to worry.
“Master?” She called out softly.
But Richard didn’t respond at all.
After some consideration, Miwei decided to go in and take a look.
Normally, even she wouldn’t enter Richard’s room without permission.
But today, out of concern, she opened the door and saw Richard still fast asleep.
“Master?”
Miwei called out again.
Richard finally heard her and stirred.
Thinking he was calling her, Miwei walked in.
“Master, are you okay?” the adorable little cat girl asked.
Richard finally woke up.
He sat up in bed and saw the little cat-eared girl.
“What’s wrong, Miwei?” Richard asked.
At this moment, he noticed that Miwei’s face suddenly turned red.
“Miwei?”
“Ah… Nothing, Master, I’ll go prepare hot water for you,” the little cat girl said, fleeing.
“What’s wrong with her?” Richard was puzzled.
Then he understood the reason.
It turned out that he had kicked off the blanket while sleeping, and because it was morning, well…
A certain part was rising.
Richard inexplicably thought of Miwei’s pretty face.
Then he thought of Mia.
The two cat girls looked almost identical.
Suddenly, hecead felt a bit thirsty.
“They’re not of age yet…” Richard thought.
However, another figure emerged.
Dorothy.
Dorothy was already of age.
That morning, Miwei’s cheeks were slightly red all the time.
She still couldn’t look directly at Richard.
Richard, on the other hand, was quite open.
Well, wasn’t the morning reaction quite normal?
On this day, Richard went to the library and then to the school behind the library, ready to open them first.
The new city castle had been completed, and so had the large buildings like the city hall. Part of the residential area had also been repaired.
The first batch to move in were still the families of soldiers in Richard’s army.
Then came the families of craftsmen, artisans, and so on.
These people were essentially civil servants supported by Richard, so their housing was free.
Some who performed well, like the girl Ellie, also gained the right to move into the new city for free.
In addition, fox and minotaur people could basically move in directly.
The reason was simple. These two tribes were basically sold to Richard. For the minotaurs, it goes without saying. Among the fox people, there were 200 archers, almost every family sent one, so they could enjoy the treatment of moving in for free.
Others needed to buy their own houses.
However, Richard also provided many discounts.
For example, there were significant discounts for literacy and for families with two or more children.
These houses didn’t need to be paid for all at once; monthly installments were enough.
Moreover, those who wanted to move into the new city also had to undergo a period of observation. Those who were lazy or troublemakers would definitely not have the chance.
The new city had better defense and sanitation conditions, and the houses inside were quite ideal, much better than what they had lived in before.
Even some of the original residents in Richard’s territory wanted to move in, let alone refugees. They all wanted to move into the new city.
In such circumstances, everyone worked hard, trying to earn more money.
After all, there was still overtime pay.
One copper coin per hour.
Although you could only work a maximum of four extra hours, who wouldn’t want an extra four copper coins?
Additionally, the top ten workers each day also get an extra copper coin, and these incentive policies greatly boost the workers’ enthusiasm!
After inspecting the new city and confirming the relocation plan, Richard returned to the new castle.
That night, after washing up with Miwei’s assistance, the little cat girl hesitated and didn’t leave.
“What’s wrong, Miwei?” Richard asked.
Blushing, Miwei whispered almost inaudibly, “Master, how about… letting Miwei accompany you tonight?”
Huh!
Could this little cat girl think Richard had such needs because of what she saw in the morning?
Richard rubbed her little head. “Miwei, aren’t you underage?”
Miwei nodded.
Richard said, “Let’s talk about it when you come of age.”
He couldn’t bring himself to do anything with such a young cat girl.
Miwei’s face remained red, and suddenly, she thought of something.
Dorothy seems to be of age.
Thinking of this, Miwei quickly said, “Master, then I’ll go to bed first.”
Then she fled.
