Chapter 124: Start of Term

These four days have brought quite a harvest.

Zhao Chi stared at the work summary for quite a while.

The female craftsmen are now working overtime every day, and the workload is enormous.

Although their waists are slender, each of them can eat close to one kilogram of meat.

Paired with vegetables and fruit, they can just maintain their stamina.

Fortunately, with the hunters, fresh meat can be obtained daily through hunting, and along the way they also gathered some wild greens, wild fruits, and herbs.

The mine has also been completed.

The miners keep supplying iron ore, allowing the blacksmiths to continue making iron spears.

Originally Zhao Chi wanted to make iron shields.

But iron shields require a lot of iron ingots, and the production cycle is long.

Before the start-of-term test, they definitely couldn't be finished.

So he adopted a compromise plan and made iron-plated shields.

They don't need so many iron ingots, the production cycle is acceptable, and the defensive power is decent too.

【Name】Iron-Plated Shield

【Quality】Rough

【Durability】280

【Defense】12

Now all the female soldiers are equipped with iron spears and iron-plated shields, including Zhao Chi.

But most are rough quality, only good enough to make do in the early stage.

Besides the mine, another four defensive towers have been completed, plus the one built earlier, the goal of five defensive towers is done.

This will improve the defensive capability quite a bit.

On the tailoring front, together with the leather armor made earlier, a total of twenty-two sets of leather armor have been produced.

Enough to equip all the female soldiers.

Among them are sets for Gu Qing and Zhao Chi as well.

The leather armor's defense is about the same as a wooden shield.

The defense and durability of each part are also the same.

【Name】Leather Armor Set

【Quality】Rough

【Durability】115

【Defense】5

The leather armor set includes: leather armor, leather helmet, leather gauntlets, leather leg guards, leather boots, five pieces in total.

Each piece has independent durability and defense.

The leather armor has the largest protection range, covering the entire upper body torso, as well as the shoulders and upper arms.

The leather leg guards cover slightly less, protecting the buttocks, thighs, and calves.

The leather boots and leather helmet need no explanation, protecting the feet and head.

The leather gauntlets can not only protect the arms, but also add a lot of friction, so gripping a weapon won't slip.

With this full set of leather armor, roughly speaking, these female soldiers' health has more than doubled.

If you add in the durability of the iron-plated shield, then these female soldiers' health can be said to have nearly quadrupled.

Of course, the premise is that the shield can block the enemy's attack.

Besides this, these female soldiers all have the bonus of the super-improved silk stockings, which can greatly increase defense, making these women even more durable.

It's a pity the stockings can only defend the lower body; if there were full-body silk that would be great, defending everything.

The carpenters haven't been idle either.

The four small carts they made make it convenient for miners to transport ore.

Those wooden spears and wooden shields can be used for training.

This time extra wooden spears were made, mainly for throwing.

Although the range is shorter than a wooden bow, the power is much greater.

And they're simple to make, only needing branches to be processed a bit.

Work summary finished reading.

Zhao Chi felt a bit emotional.

In just four days of work, so much was accomplished — truly worthy of overtime work.

No wonder so many bosses are willing to let employees work overtime, so this is how it feels...

Tomorrow is the start-of-term test.

Very much looking forward to it, and a little nervous too.

Wondering what kind of result can be achieved.

Although he himself has a hidden talent, the others have family backing.

Although deploying troops into the territory, or deploying equipment and such, requires paying a lot of tax.

A small deployment they can still afford.

Thinking too much about it now is useless.

The specific situation will be known tomorrow.

It's already deep into the night now, time to rest.

Everyone can rest now.

"Feng Xiu, that's enough for today. The leather armor already is enough to equip the female soldiers. You all go rest."

Feng Xiu sighed: "Mm, my lord, you should rest early too."

The energy pills were already finished, unable to continue replenishing energy, so these female craftsmen were clearly abnormally fatigued today.

The oil lamp in the tailor shop was extinguished, and everyone withdrew.

Gu Qing was still sparring with Tang Ruan.

The other female soldiers already went to rest.

The two of them had high attributes and had been practicing until now.

Zhao Chi said softly: "Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, let's stop here for today. There's still fighting tomorrow. Sleep early and replenish your energy."

The two women stopped together.

Tang Ruan obediently nodded: "Mm, alright, Lord."

Gu Qing walked over with a smile: "Wrapping up? Not pulling an all-nighter tonight?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "No need. If we keep pushing overtime, everyone's going to break down. Everyone's been exhausted these past few days. Go notify the others — today we stop here. Starting tomorrow, we go back to normal working hours."

Gu Qing smiled: "Mm, I understand. I won't disturb you tonight. You sleep early, and let's give it our all together tomorrow."
