Chapter 1239: Spring Breeze Tower (5)

To be honest, this guess is a bit far-fetched.

Zhao Chi wasn't entirely sure of it himself.

There's another possibility: the affection level needs to reach the max of Tier 5.

That one sounds a little more reasonable...

But he couldn't be completely certain either.

At noon, when interrogating the captives, they told Zhao Chi that the body piloting technique works better the more you understand the target.

You can even dissect them for an in-depth understanding.

If that's the case, then Zhao Chi had just been getting an in-depth understanding of Gu Qing.

From that angle, taking the back door really could be one of the reasons.

Either way, it can be verified.

At least tomorrow he can connect with Tang Ruan and the others, and then he'll find out whether that last 1% on them can be raised.

If his control over them hasn't reached 100%, then it's because of the affection level.

Not bad.

Zhao Chi was so excited now he barely knew what to do.

But he only hesitated for a moment before locking onto a target.

That target was: time to craft.

In the afternoon, he had already crafted one cycle of fashion with Qi Yue.

Later he went to keep his appointment with Su Qin and left Qi Yue.

Now he'd go find her again.

Qi Yue was practicing in the Phantom Martial Room, naked.

Zhao Chi spotted her among the snow-white female soldiers and saw her brows tightly furrowed — the enemies she set must be pretty tough, huh?

Maybe it was Yan Ping too?

Moguoyi Society, Qi Yue suddenly snapped her eyes open, her gaze filled with killing intent and confusion.

But seeing Zhao Chi before her, her eyes instantly softened.

"My lord, you were looking for me? Time to craft?"

"Yeah. Who did you pick as your opponent?"

Qi Yue stood up: "I picked that werewolf Yan Ping."

Just as he'd guessed.

"Did you win or lose? How long did the fight last?"

Qi Yue sighed: "Of course I still lost... and the whole fight was over in less than a minute. Without Tang Ruan tanking in front, I really don't have an output environment — it's really hard to fight. And without your Gigantification Art, my damage is lower too. My HP isn't enough either; once my armor breaks, he just kills me straight away."

Qi Yue was an attack-type hero.

And an agility-type one at that.

Without a big meat shield like Tang Ruan in front, and without a big healer like Gu Qing in the back, relying on herself alone, she really couldn't hold up.

"It's fine — you can set up teammates, no need to rely only on yourself."

"Mm, I understand."

"How many times did you slash Yan Ping?"

"42 hits, plus 33 dodged by him, and 45 deflected by his claws."

"That many hits?"

Zhao Chi was a little surprised.

Hearing Qi Yue say just now that she'd lasted less than a minute, he'd thought that was pretty normal.

But he hadn't expected Qi Yue to have actually landed 42 hits on Yan Ping...

And although Zhao Chi had lasted longer than Qi Yue, he'd only landed 9 hits on Yan Ping — quite a gap.

And that was with Zhao Chi having ticked 【Memory Erasure】.

If Qi Yue ticked it too, the result would definitely be even better.

Qi Yue really was strong.

Qi Yue smiled at Zhao Chi: "But this Phantom Martial Room really is useful. When I have time later I want to try other methods, and weapon combos. Shall we go craft now?"

"Sure, let's go!"

Zhao Chi deliberately checked Qi Yue's piloting status.

The control value was still 99%, so Dengdaoyi Society Gu Qing wakes up, he'll connect with Qi Yue afterward and give it a try.

For now, then, he'd devote himself fully to crafting.

This battle had cost roughly 150 pieces of fashion — these had been blown apart directly.

Another 300-plus had their durability drastically reduced; these wouldn't last much longer either and could be treated as already broken and in need of remaking.

There were also over 1,000 pieces whose durability had taken some loss but could still be used for a while.

After all, normal wear only cost 1 point of durability per day.

And with Gu Qing and Tang Ruan's special materials, the fashion's durability was very high.

Stockings 5→95 points

Blouse 20→180 points

High heels 100→400 points.

So even after losing some durability, they could still be used for quite a long time.

This batch could be left alone for now and let the female soldiers keep wearing them.

So this time, making 450 sets of clothing counts as achieving the goal.

But now 30 new women arrive every day, so more reserves must be prepared.

Then the two types of standard weapons also need to be made in greater numbers.

After one battle, all the weapons were smashed to pieces.

The Phoenix Cry Blade and Moon-Chasing Spear, though also super-modified, had no improvement to durability; though their power was strong, they couldn't sustain overly prolonged combat.

But this time supporting Zhao Jing was a special case, far exceeding Zhao Chi's current combat strength.

If fighting ordinary enemies, those weapons and equipment of his could handle at least 2-3 battles.

The female soldiers' iron armor also completely fell apart after one battle.

After all, surrounded by skeletons, the attacks were far too dense.

This time, 500 sets of 90%-new armor were purchased at a relatively low price, to be modified into Mysterious Maiden Battle Armor as much as possible.

In this battle, the Mysterious Maiden Battle Armor performed very well.

Although the durability remaining was less than half.

The Mysterious Maiden Battle Armor's durability is 4 times that of ordinary iron armor; by normal comparison, it should still have over 70% remaining.

But those dozens of female soldiers wearing Mysterious Maiden Battle Armor all relied on this armor's extremely high durability to plunge deep into the enemy and slaughter wildly.

So they also received more attacks, more frequently, ultimately trading extra durability consumption for killing quite a few more skeletons.

But even so, the Mysterious Maiden Battle Armor actually held up through the entire battle — very impressive.

This proves the strength of this Mysterious Maiden Battle Armor.

Begin crafting!

However, Zhao Chi and Qi Yue stopped after only 1 crafting cycle.

Because after Zhao Chi woke up, he saw Gu Qing sitting right beside him.

Staring at him with an alluring smile on her face.

Instead, Qi Yue was nowhere to be seen.

"Hehe, my lord, you're awake."

"Mm, what's the matter, Gu Qing?"

"I have not failed my mission — I've finished talking with all of them. They're all very willing and are waiting for you right now."

"Huh? That fast?"

Zhao Chi was somewhat surprised.

Gu Qing smiled and said: "It's mainly because of your great charm, my lord. When they heard you liked it, they all agreed. And after I told them the cleansing method, the few of them researched out a new method together — even more convenient. So from now on, as long as you want, with a little preparation we can do it completely."

Actually, for Zhao Chi, the two sensations were about the same.
