"Congratulations Nicholas! Is great to have a specialized squad leader, especially so early on! In addition, if I am not mistaken...

"Excellent! Truly excellent both of you! Now I can be at ease regarding the future resources our territory will need. I am curious what other surprises did our remaining people prepared for us?""
Seeing their almost identical status pages, I could already imagine these two bonding easily over a pint of beer at the nearby bar. It seems that Nicholas is specialized in STR and END, while Gabriel in STR, DEX and AGI. Also, both have their lifestyle skills already at Intermediate. With such a growth, I might not even need to bother with upgradng them to Tier 2...

"Holy fuck!!!" - I shouted almost chocking on an apple-like fruit
[... ╮(╯_╰)╭ ...](Mia)
"Sorry but that was truly out of nowhere… Alice, if I am not mistaken weren't you part of the squad that helped with the creation of the pillows?"
[Yes Mister Michael...](Alice)
"And... well, can you think of anything specific that you did in order to get the change of Job?"
Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to create more Healers? If I have four or five of them in the dungeon diving unit, I could easily crush more floors, irrelevant of the numbers we face! Also, her special attribute was Holy... truly interesting!
[Uhm... because I am quite clumsy, I pricked my fingers quite the number of times and had to ask big sister Mia about the 'medicine' she used when you were wounded. After I managed to use the herbs mixture on both myself and a couple of other people, my Job suddenly changed to the current one...](Alice)
"That is absolutely amazing Alice! With you around, the few of us in the dungeon diving unit will be more confident in taking down the monsters such as Murlocs. Right! Before I forget! All of you are required to save your free attribute points and before assigning them you will need to talk with myself or Mia about how to benefit the most from their use."
Thinking up to this point, there is a need to hold some 'classes' about the Jobs and teach them how to decide what sort of route the user should take. I took this adventurer system more lightly than I should have...
"Alright then! Let's hear the last person! Please, go ahead! Hmm? You are Simone Greenwood, right? From Denise's production unit?"
[Yes Mister Michael. The Job I received is 'Researcher'.](Simone)

"Hahaha! Truly, truly a great day! It is a pleasure to have you on board Simone! With so many great talents, the progress we will achieve from now on would be many times multiplied! Now then, I will announce the changes we'll apply from today onward!"
Realizing that I should give it at least a good couple of minutes of proper thought, I prompted everyone to indulge in the tempting dishes Denise and her squad created for us. I also quietly ate while pondering.
"There already are elves capable of leading in their own fields, so I should grasp this chance to set up a proper skeleton for my civilization's future government. I could create departments just like back on Earth and give more responsibilities to the 'geniuses'. That way, I will force them to be more actively involved in decision-making regarding our future. Or at least, for starters, they can be exposed to such pressure, learn and grow."
+2 Endurance attribute points received! +3 Strength attribute points received! +1 Agility attribute points received!
I raised a brow at the rather low amount of points I got (even by my standards) and realized that there is the possibility to reach a full stop soon enough for the shortcut we took. There should be a limit for how much we can we can boost our stats through eating.
At the same time, if the mana concentration in the air, dirt, plants and animals increases thanks to the World Tree, then the shortcut might become available again. But that’s in the distant future…
I took a look around the tables and everyone pretty much finished eating and were patiently waiting for the new arrangements I prepared.
"Alright people! First of all, we will regroup the entire 199 elves. Regarding Alexandra and myself, we will both continue to be part of the dungeon diving unit, while Mia will remain as adviser for all other units due to her extensive knowledge. Secondly, we will change and rename some of the current units as follows. The woodcutting unit, the mining unit and the land reclamation unit will retain their original names; however, under the leadership of Nicholas, Gabriel and Stephanie they will create and lead the Agriculture Chamber. The Agriculture Chamber is responsible for procuring and distributing the resources available in our territory. Regarding future adjustments, those will happen after we will hold our first territory administrative meeting. Congratulations you three!"
There was another fervent amount of shouts and cheers for the first 'officials' of the territory. Until now, myself, Mia and Alexandra held the reins tightly and didn't really give others a chance to grab a piece of the pie. Now however, is time to lessen my workload... considerably!
"Regarding your three units, each one of them will be reduced to only 25 people. I would ask out of the original three units for those who like what they are currently doing to volunteer in order to fill up the required spots. The most important thing is to make sure that you are comfortable with the type of work you are daily performing now! If that condition is met, either now or later down the road, would you find something better or change your mind into the future, the three leaders of the Agriculture Chamber will be responsible for finding where you'll be the best fit for. Nicholas, Gabriel and Stephanie! I am expecting each of you to finish creating your new units within the shortest amount of time and report to Mia, as soon we finish with the assignment for the other units!"
[[[Yes sir!]]]
"Good answers! Next up, Laurence and Claudia! Your units will receive some changes regarding the names. Laurence, the dungeon diving unit will be renamed into the Adventurer unit. Claudia, your guardsmen unit will also change their name to the Homeland Security unit. Regarding the numbers… Laurence!"
[Yes sir!](Laurence)
"Your unit will have a total of 50 people including yourself, Mia, Alexandra and me. The original dungeon diving unit participants should remain, but if any of them desire to change their occupation to something else, confer with Mia."
[Understood!](Laurence)
"Claudia!"
[Yes sir!](Claudia)
"Your unit will have a total of 25 people with you included and it will follow the same type of voluntary service. It is advisable to try and swap from one job to another between your unit and Laurence's, since you both activate in a similar domain!"
[Understood!](Claudia)
"Great! Both your units will become part of the Military Chamber! We will discuss your attributions and responsibilities as well, in the first territory administrative meeting."
[[Yes sir!]]
"Good! Now then, that's a total of 151 people, out of the 202 that we have in our camp that already have a Job. Next up, Alice!"
[Y...yes sir!](Alice)
"You are one of the most important person for the survival of our camp in case of wounds or disease. You will be a temporary member of the adventurer unit and might have to join us in our future dungeon expeditions. Claudia, the same might be required in your case. Any complaints?"
[[No sir!]]
"Alice, in your case you won't participate in the fights, so you don't need to worry. As for the dungeon expeditions, we will protect you with our lives, since those lives depend on you."
[Th...Thank you...](Alice)
Seeing such a cute blushing woman, the urge to embrace her almost overwhelmed me. Almost! Now that most of the things were already figured out, there was one final decision to be made. The building unit and the production unit... I have excessively few people at the moment for both to fully operate, so they might need to share the workforce for now.
"Denise, Andrea and Anne! You three will become the leaders of the Building and Manufacturing Chamber. As the name implies it will be split in two units: the Building unit that handles constructions and the Manufacturing unit, which handles tasks like creating new tools, clothes and other useful things for our camp. I need for you to pick including you a total of 50 people... actually, the remaining people will be part of this Chamber, all excepting Simone."
[[[Yes sir!]]]
"Make sure you report to Mia as soon as your people have been selected, because we have a ton of work to do this week. Simone!"
[I am here sir!](Simone) – she shouted happily raising her hand
"Hehe! In your case, you will be the leader of the Technology and Research Chamber as well as its only member at the moment. When more people will join us in the future, your unit will obviously grow as well. For now though, I am expecting great things from you even if you are alone."
[I will do my best sir!](Simone)
"It will be more than sufficient. All right people, every one of the leaders mentioned! I am expecting you to have your units completely formed as soon as possible. When the 'selection process' ended, I will assign you your tasks for the day."
[[[Yes sir!!!]]]
I felt drained of energy already and the day barely started. To my utmost happiness, each squad leader did their job properly and the few elves available as workforce were split faster than pizza on a Sunday. The orders given were obviously still the same, keeping in mind that there weren't really major changes except for the names and the appointment of the said 'officials'. Therefore, the Agriculture Chamber took care of food and the plantation of potatoes, as well as other resources required for building or manufacturing, while the Homeland Security unit dispatched 15 people total to guard them and another 10 operated the walls.
The Adventurer unit and the Building and Manufacturing Chamber will focus on constructing the Monument. Obviously, the Adventurer unit will join only after the morning exercises.
I had everyone depart and start focusing doing their own things, while Simone and I took advantage of her new overpowered skill. Of course, I already dispatched Mia to oversee the construction site, unwilling to overlook such an important thing.
"Alright Simone. From what I can see, your new skill requires a certain amount of basic knowledge regarding the technology you are going to focus on for an entire 15 days. What we're going to discuss is how to create paper."
[Paper? Is it a type of material?](Simone)
I could see a deep curiosity in her eyes, making me nod my head in agreement to the system's choice in making her a Researcher. Actually, is it because of their personalities that they get certain Jobs, or do certain Jobs affect their personality?
I shook my head and tried to clear it of useless thoughts, while remembering the skill she got.
Moment of brilliance (LvL 1) - Active Skill
After arduously researching until the point of obsession, a single moment of silence takes over you. The solution becomes obvious and you easily achieve a breakthrough.
Requirements: select a subject for research and for a period of 15 days the specialist will focus solely on it. At the end of the 15 days, either a breakthrough is achieved, or a considerable advancement is made, all depending on the amount of initial knowledge regarding the specific subject.
Hint: If your specialist will focus on researching a specific technology, the progress is made up to 50% of the required amount of Research Points, once more, depending on the depth of knowledge he/she has about the subject.
How could I possibly not take advantage of such a cheat!? Divine lightning might strike me otherwise!
"Speaking of which... I am the person responsible for the 'divine lightning'... can I use that?"
