【Mystic Woman Shield Super Improvement Manual】(1 remaining) 50 contribution points

The name is the same as the Mystic Woman Battle Armor, so the improvement project is probably the same.

That's actually quite good.

It reflects damage, and has very high durability.

Shields and armor are both considered protective equipment to begin with.

It's just that armor is worn on the body, only taking effect when the enemy strikes.

It belongs to the passive protection type.

While a shield actively meets and blocks the enemy's attacks, belonging to the active protection type.

Both are essential equipment.

With this shield, Zhao Chi's army's equipment can be considered complete.

But right now it's very uncertain, only one complete set remains.

Looking at the queue, there's still 10 minutes.

Hope no one buys it first.

Cancel filter.

Release all blueprints.

The quantity is very large now, a full several dozen pages.

Zhao Chi browses through what he needs one by one.

Theoretically speaking, he needs them all.

But he can only choose what's most suitable right now.

For example:

【Refined Iron Crafting Blueprint】5 contribution points

Right now the smelting workers' daily job is dissolving all kinds of equipment.

The massive amount of equipment previously seized from Zhao Ji's territory was only just finished smelting not long ago.

And after several battles, there are also some pieces of equipment that need dissolving.

There's still no time to research refined iron technology.

If some manpower is invested and some time spent, there's a chance of researching this beginner technology.

Moreover, refined iron ingots can be smelted without any problem by intermediate craftsmen.

Beginner craftsmen can also do it, but the quality might not be high, or it might even fail.

However, if the smelting skill is already fairly high, not much different from an intermediate craftsman, the output quality is actually quite good.

Craftsmen and soldiers are different.

A craftsman's promotion is entirely based on their own professional stats.

To be promoted to intermediate craftsman, the professional skill needs to reach 20 points.

And it's one's own skill, not including the boosts brought by the profession.

That's about 2 years' worth of level.

1 year of full-time work can increase 10 points, roughly a little over 1 month to increase 0.83 points.

But all the craftsmen in Zhao Chi's territory work 20 hours, twice the standard time, and combined with their very fast stamina recovery, naturally the work quality is higher than standard.

So they can reliably increase 2 points every month.

But since 1 month ago, after respectively obtaining the Experience Fruit and the Goddess Pajamas, their skills have simply advanced by leaps and bounds.

The first month was ordinary, increasing 2 points, but this second month, they directly increased 16 points.

Basically in another two days, they can successively transfer to various intermediate craftsman classes.

And advanced craftsmen require 50 points of their own professional skill.

For ordinary people, that's 5 years.

But for Zhao Chi, it's about 3-4 months.

Now he can buy this refined iron technology first, and starting next month, he can produce refined iron himself.

Including the iron ingots previously smelted, as well as the ones currently being smelted, there are roughly over 6,000 in total.

When the time comes, just slowly smelt these out.

The queue advances slowly.

Finally almost Zhao Chi's turn.

Zhao Chi makes a comprehensive decision and finalizes the list to exchange.

【Exchange List】

【Voice Transmission Talisman】×20

【Refined Iron Crafting Blueprint】×1

【Mystic Woman Shield Blueprint】×1

【Mystic Woman Shield Improvement Manual】×1

【Mystic Woman Shield Super Improvement Manual】×1

【Efficiency Guidebook】×4

【Total】900 contribution points

The remaining 177 contribution points can be kept for now, after all he can come anytime, no rush.

And Zhao Chi originally wanted to buy fewer Efficiency Guidebooks.

But just now there were 21 remaining, and now, only 4 are left.

So popular — no hesitation, exchange all of them.

Besides, the effects are written out plainly, definitely not a loss.

If it really doesn't work out, I can sell them off.

After submitting the list, the staff member asked: "900 contribution points, confirm the exchange? Does your system space have room? Put them straight into your system space?"

"That's right, there's room, thank you."

Zhao Chi finished the exchange in just 3 minutes, 2 of which were spent waiting for the other party to fetch the goods.

Su Qin was right behind Zhao Chi, and soon she too finished her exchange.

The two hurried out of the service hall.

"You head back first, I'm going to check out the Teaching Hall next door," Zhao Chi said.

"Teaching Hall? Where is it?" Su Qin looked a bit puzzled.

"Instructor Li said it's over at the original training ground of this 7th Academy."

"Isn't that pretty close?"

"Right, so I'm going to check it out now. Otherwise, if I teleport back and come over again, I'd still have to come from our place."

"Home? Hehe, right. Then I'll go with you."

Su Qin felt a little happy hearing him say the word "home."

"Aren't you going back to handle your things?"

Su Qin shook her head: "It's nothing, this little while won't matter. Let me keep you company for a bit?"

"Alright then, let's go."

Behind the two Teaching Hall buildings.

It wasn't far, but it was very quiet and deserted.

Looks like not many people really do come here.

But thinking about it, it's understandable.

Those who can come to this Great World are, first of all, lords or residents of the Great World.

The craftsmen in the territories can't come.

That alone rules out a large number of craftsmen.

And Li Ruanyu said renting a room inside is very expensive, which stopped another portion of people in their tracks.

The Teaching Hall was a white-walled, black-tiled building, three stories in total.

It looked a bit like an academy or a private school, with a ring of bamboo forest around it — quite refined and elegant indeed.

The two stepped inside.

Through the main gate, then through the building's door, a very small reception desk stood before them.
