Chapter 1306

He could see that each of them was holding a number, apparently waiting in line.

The room's price had also increased now.

The price of every room had directly multiplied, yet craftsmen still waited here.

And the number of staff had also increased to seven.

Two Efficiency Guidebooks… and they actually have this kind of effect?

Zhao Chi had no time to look further.

He walked straight through the main door.

The expressions of several staff members changed, but they didn't dare say much, only offering a simple greeting.

Zhao Chi nodded and went straight up to the third floor.

The third floor was also bustling now.

It was very spacious here.

Quite a few maids sat quietly here.

And some guards chatted in low voices.

These people were probably brought by different master-level craftsmen.

The moment Zhao Chi went upstairs, he was surrounded by stares.

Zhao Chi silently entered his room.

He carefully checked every marking—none had any problems.

Good.

No more wasting time—he began crafting right away.

Crafting continued…

Crafting continued…

Eight days later.

The effect of the third Efficiency Guidebook had expired.

Zhao Chi lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all.

He only wanted to hold Tang Ruan and sleep till the world went dark.

However, with the Carefree Spring's super-strong recovery, no matter how much Zhao Chi slept, three hours was more than enough.

He couldn't fall asleep again even if he tried.

Tang Ruan obediently stayed in his arms, not moving at all.

She blinked quietly, watching him.

"My lord, you're awake? Still want to sleep?"

"Phew~ No more sleeping, let's get up. What time is it?"

"It's just turned 1 p. m."

"Alright, let's head back."

"Going back now? My lord, you're not crafting anymore?"

"No more—if I keep going I'll break down…"

"Yes, my lord, you've been working far too hard these past few days. You should rest a bit."

"Can't rest. I'm just not writing those things anymore, but I still have to craft fashion items and improve those pieces of equipment."

"Oh… is there anything I can help you with?"

"You…" Zhao Chi looked at the naked Tang Ruan and laughed: "No need. Just stay in my arms and don't move—let me hold you a little longer."

"Oh…"

Tang Ruan knew she couldn't help either, so she said nothing more and let her body go completely limp.

So that Zhao Chi could hold her more comfortably.

After a while longer.

The two got up and finished getting ready.

They left the room and came to the front desk.

The front desk staff were already very familiar with Tang Ruan.

Although they couldn't see Tang Ruan's face, they all felt Tang Ruan probably wasn't very old.

Sometimes a person's voice really can reflect their age.

"You… really not coming back?"

Zhao Chi said: "Just pausing for now—I'll be back later. But I want to confirm, I should still have over thirty days of free usage, right?"

The staff member nodded repeatedly: "That's right, thirty-four days left. When you come next time you can keep using it for free."

Originally there should have been a total of thirty days of free usage.

But Zhao Chi had used three consecutively, so they gave him an extra forty-five days of free usage.

That would save quite a few gold coins too.

Zhao Chi asked: "My identity isn't convenient to reveal—is there any other proof? I don't want to come back next time and be turned away."

"Yes, here—please keep this safe."

The staff member handed over seven paper cards.

【Teaching Hall Usage Voucher】

【Suite 10 Days】 ×3

【Suite 1 Day】 ×4

This thing isn't bad.

Paper, almost certainly no special setup, good for tracking.

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Very good, then thank you."

"You're welcome, please come again."

Several staff members bowed together.

Some craftsmen nearby looked over curiously.

Wondering which master this was.

As soon as Zhao Chi stepped out the door, he teleported straight back to Penglai Town.

Over these eight days, Zhao Chi had produced a total of 126 master-level insights.

Adding the 39 he'd made before, that came to 165 in all.

Among them, 55 were for tailoring and 110 for blacksmithing.

Originally he'd wanted to make more tailoring insights, but found there was no use for them at the moment.

A few days earlier, Zhao Chi had brought his blacksmithing insights up to 110, and at the same time had 100 people switch to the advanced blacksmith class.

With that many advanced blacksmiths, Zhao Chi felt the number was enough.

So he spent 17 racial improvement points to convert the 201 points of forging data back into the tailoring skill, and began producing master-level tailoring insights.

After the first batch was made.

Just as he had done with Ding Dang, Zhao Chi also called Feng Xiu out alone.

And performed the driving technique on her as well.

As well as personally taking her through making fashion items.

He'd originally thought there'd be no problem.

Feng Xiu had indeed watched Zhao Chi's movements and techniques clearly.

However, the moment Feng Xiu tried it herself, the crafting failed.

"It's fine, failure is normal — the difficulty is just too high," Zhao Chi said softly to comfort her.

Feng Xiu had been in the territory for a long time too, and was very familiar with Zhao Chi.

There was certainly no nervousness.

She nodded: "Alright, I'll try again."

The second attempt also ended in failure.

Then the third, the fourth.

It wasn't until the fifth that she barely managed to craft a pair of stockings fashion item made primarily of Gu Qing silk.

The quality was Poor.
