Gathering next to the huge interface window measuring at least five meters in height and another five in width, Mia began explaining to the pretty heroine what each tab meant. For some (like Constructions, Materials Available and Population) she understood them quite fast, while others (like Social Policies, Research and Great People) it took a more… in depth explanation. What she was utterly confused about was why would we have access to Miracles that only the God of Chaos has. That’s where Mia and I had to coax her into believing that the Chaos God prefers self-governance over heavily influencing his believers.

  [Thinking about how we were saved from our predicament in the previous world by Him and all the gifts we were given in order to live a happier life here… but He doesn’t plan to interfere at all with us? Why big sister?](Alexa)

  [We do not know… However, we are talking about a God. Saving us and who knows how many others that might come later, giving us his blessings… isn’t that already more than enough? Wanting to have Him babysit us is already exaggerated.](Mia)

  [I guess big sister is right. However, isn’t the Chaos God similar to Michael? Personality-wise? He also said that he doesn’t want to be involved in leading the elves…](A)

  “ (⊙o⊙) ”

  [I guess he is, isn’t he? I never noticed until now…](Mia)

  Seems like Mia was still taking revenge for leaving her to the wolves previously. Using that moment and the fact that the day was soon coming to an end, I began bringing up the tabs in the interface so we can examine the available routes we could take.

  “Enough joking… Let’s take a look at what we need to take in consideration for the future of our civilization. Actually, Mia, bring up the tabs one at a time.”

  [Acknowledged!](Mia)

  “It seems like we’ll have loads of work ahead of us…”

  [It is to be expected now that we advanced in the Tools Age…](Mia)

  [Big sister received the notification as well?](A)

  “Notification? Alexa did you get a message about the advancement to the Tools Age?”

  [Yes, Michael… and not only myself. All the elves did.](A)

  “Did they now? Interesting… “

  I realized that maybe when that type of advancement happens, the notification becomes a World Announcement of sorts, meaning that the entire civilization is made aware. That is not bad at all really… Thinking about it, wouldn’t they be happier if they knew when something like that happened? All their hard work being rewarded will make them have a feeling of achievement.

  “Mia, let’s take a look at the buildings available. We need to decide on the construction order.”

  Nodding her head while sending her beautiful flaming hair afloat slightly, she touched the blue window and made a gesture towards the Construction tab. Then, she began expanding up the description for each building, one at a time.

  I stared in wonder at the multitude of buildings available. Eight of them! While the amount of resources required for all of them is huge, the production costs are even higher…

  Seeing however, that specialist required to operate field, a strange idea popped in my mind.

  “Mia, Alexandra, would you say that our current resource output is sufficient?”

  [Considering our costs and how many buildings we can construct daily, we are overproducing.](Mia)

  [I think the same Michael. The Granary could use more diversity as well as quantity, but the warehouse is reaching its maximum space allotted for wood.](Alexa)

  “Then I have a suggestion: we reduce the number of people from the woodcutting and mining unit to half and prioritize building the Lumber Mill and the Stone Works. If that happens, the resource output remains the same but we will have more people to work with. Even more important, I want a specialized building unit and a Great Engineer ASAP!”

  [Then, should we have the first buildings be the Lumber Mill and the Stone Works?](Mia)

  “Hmm? Nope! We’ll build the Monument first.”

  [… ╮(╯_╰)╭…](Mia)

  “Oh wow… that’s a new expression. Hahaha! We need to focus on the benefits we receive from the Social Policies; therefore, while we will prioritize the resource production buildings, first one to be created tomorrow will be the Monument. I would absolutely love to have the Library as well, but we need to get the Writing tech first. Keeping that in mind, Mia, what’s your take on the order we should go with?”

  […Monument, Lumber Mill, Stone Works, Farms, Water Mill, Barracks, Shrine and Library. If we successfully research Writing in the meantime, then it will be Library first and then Barracks, followed by Shrine last.](Mia)

  [But…big sister… shouldn’t we build the Shrine as soon as possible? It feels disrespectful to the Chaos God to leave it last…](A)

  I realized that I haven’t exactly put much thought into the religious point of view other people might have. I really don’t care much about that Shrine given that it’s only an extra 2 points of Faith per day, however, going by its description, people need a place where to pray.

  “While it might be so, keep in mind that we are allowed to make all the decisions ourselves and the Chaos God choose not to interfere. That means that he already took in consideration this type of situation happening. What he wants from us more than anything is to survive and prosper! To do that, we might have to be a bit disrespectful from time to time… however, this time I agree with you.”

  [[Eh!?]](Mia)(Alexa)

  I chuckled slightly seeing their reactions and their inquisitive looks.

  “We’re going to have a total of 50 people removed from the two previously mentioned units. Beside them, on the first two days only, the dungeon diving unit will help with the building as well. Therefore, we will focus on construction both days. If 50 people generate 10 production points per hour, we will get 20 with 100 builders. That means one building per day for starters, but it will considerably slow down afterwards. Like I already mentioned, the first day we’ll build the Monument and the Shrine on the following one.”

  [Why only the first two days Michael? The hard manual labor is very rewarding when considering the attribute points everyone in the dungeon diving unit received…](Alexa)

  “While that might be true, we will begin our second dungeon expedition on the 14th day.”

  [So soon?](A)

  “Yes. We need to bathe the new ones in a bit of blood and we’ll also try something new tomorrow, in the hope of better weapons.”

  [You mean…](Mia)

  “We’ll try to melt ores!”

  [It will be difficult…](Alexa)

  “But not impossible! We’ll try and see what we can do…”

  Thinking about metal casting, another lifestyle Job came to mind: blacksmith! If I could grab another one of those for my camp, we will have a continuous income of weapons, armors and tools.
