Chapter 1273

There were three young female staff members sitting quietly behind a desk.

Seeing Zhao Chi and Su Qin, they immediately stood up.

All wore neat uniforms.

The one in the middle smiled and said, "Mr., Madam, are you here to rent a room?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "Yes, but this is my first time coming here. Could you give me a brief introduction?"

"Of course. We charge by the hour here, divided into different room types. A standard room is 1 gold coin per hour, a deluxe room is 2 gold coins per hour, and a suite is 3 gold coins per hour. Anything under one hour counts as one hour, and there's no upper limit."

"Is a standard room a private room? Just for one person?"

"That's right, but if you two want to rent together, that's also possible—it can accommodate one to two people."

"Can the Efficiency Guide be used here?"

"Efficiency Guide?" The staff member was clearly startled.

She exchanged a glance with the other two.

"Uh… yes, is that not allowed?"

"No, no, no." The staff member waved her hands repeatedly: "Of course you can, of course you can! Not only can you use it, but once you do, we can upgrade you to a suite for free!"

The staff member seemed afraid of scaring the big fish away.

She even reached out and shook Zhao Chi's hand.

Su Qin looked at her in surprise, and she quickly let go: "But Mr., while you're using it, could we simultaneously release information to the outside? That way, everyone will come to our place. If you agree, we'll waive ten days of suite fees for you."

Such a good deal?

But it was understandable.

After all, the Efficiency Guide targets the entire building—it's effective for Zhao Chi, and equally effective for others in the same building.

If they advertised at this time, probably many people would come to mooch the effect.

Their business would suddenly improve.

Although this place belonged to the World-Breaking Army barracks, more income was of course better.

Likewise, this was the World-Breaking Army's territory, and having the World-Breaking Army's lord come mooch the effect—Zhao Chi had no objections.

On the contrary, he welcomed it.

Zhao Chi nodded: "I'm only here asking on behalf of others. If they agree, no one will come disturb them, right?"

That staff member shook her head like an electric fan, her braids whipping around in front of her face.

"Don't worry. For such distinguished guests, we'll keep it absolutely confidential. Besides, this is an official World-Breaking Army establishment—no one would dare force their way in. You can rest a hundred percent easy."

Anyone who could come here was a Journeyman-rank craftsman or above, and if they were willing to use the Efficiency Guide, they could certainly be called distinguished guests.

Zhao Chi nodded: "But I'm not too clear on the functions here yet. Could you take me to see in person?"

"No problem at all. Please follow me, both of you."

That staff member raised her hand and pointed inside.

At the same time, she turned her head and said softly, "Xiao Huang, you two watch the front desk for a bit. I'm accompanying these two guests to look at the rooms."

The other two female staff members nodded: "Okay, Sister Bai."

That staff member immediately smiled: "Let's go."

After ten-some minutes of looking around, Zhao Chi roughly understood.

Here, it was basically the same as other jobs.

Sewing, for example, or forging.

It also required real, solid work.

Speed-Work Talismans could also be used to accelerate.

But this kind of writing work was quite different from the previous ones.

Actually, the characteristics of each type of work were all different.

Sewing, for example, required nimble, dexterous hands and superb skill.

Forging, on the other hand, required control of flame, the force and angle of the hammer, and so on.

But writing down insights like this required writing line by line.

It relied on thinking.

Just like writing an essay.

Zhao Chi's coming here to inspect in person was also to confirm in advance who to bring out.

Since when Zhao Chi drove them, leaving the territory wouldn't be detected, he'd bring them out.

It was definitely much better than going alone.

Zhuang Ya definitely couldn't help in this area.

Her flames would only burn what was written to ash.

Zhao Chi had originally thought Qi Yue was the most suitable, but it turned out that wasn't the case.

He now controlled Qi Yue's arms, which could be considered multitasking.

But for something like writing, having more arms was actually useless.

Every word still had to be written one by one.

It was hard to skip around while writing.

Thinking was linear.

It flowed coherently from front to back.

Even with multiple hands together, thinking still needed to be coherent.

And one couldn't write simultaneously either.

After all, Zhao Chi currently has two hands, and he still writes with only one hand now.

In short, Qi Yue can come, it's just that there won't be any extra bonuses.

Speaking this way, it would actually be fine to let Tang Ruan come.

Without any bonuses, she can continuously use Speed-Work Talismans, which is equivalent to extending her working time, so that counts as a bonus too.

Then it's decided.

Let Tang Ruan come.

Zhao Chi nodded: "Alright, I understand. In about two or three days there should be a lady coming. When the time comes, don't ask too many questions, and you must keep it confidential for her. She will be using the Efficiency Guidance Manual."

The staff member nodded repeatedly: "But we'll still need to confirm with that lady when the time comes. Would that be alright with you?"

"That's fine, as long as the confidentiality work is done well."

"Alright, thank you very much!"

Zhao Chi had finished learning everything he needed to know, so he didn't linger and left immediately.

Su Qin was curious the whole time.

But she didn't ask a single question.

After the two came out, Zhao Chi said: "Let's go, to your place. I'll help you improve it first."

Su Qin smiled: "No need to rush so much. Do you want to notify that lady craftsman about the information you just asked about first?"

Zhao Chi said: "You're the most important. Let's go."

Su Qin burst out laughing: "Hehe, I don't believe that for a second. Let's go."

Arriving at Su Qin's Clear Bamboo Town, half the sprites inside greeted Zhao Chi while still damp.

They had all just come back from soaking in the Carefree Spring at Taoyuan Village.

Zhao Chi also greeted each of them in return.

These sprites were also gradually becoming familiar with Zhao Chi now, no longer as afraid of him as before.

Su Qin pulled Zhao Chi into the Lord's Manor.

Zhao Chi sat on Su Qin's bed: "Come on, let's begin."

Su Qin smiled and took out the props

"The way you said that, I thought we were about to start something else."

"Whenever you want, I'm always available. Do you want the front first or the back first?"

"Stop messing around, let's handle business first. Once I'm done here, hurry up and leave, go handle your own things. I won't cling to you forever."

"Mm, I'll come find you tonight."

"Okay."

Su Qin handed the blueprint and improvement manual for the Wind-Chasing Arrow to Zhao Chi.
