Chapter 1313

After all, craftsmen don't participate in combat, so giving them high heels and stockings wouldn't be of much use.

If they like, they can wear ordinary stockings and high heels, without the fashion-set effects.

This falls under the category of clothing, and Feng Xiu and the others can easily make a lot of them.

Craftsmen only receive Goddess Pajamas and High-Efficiency Shirts.

These past few days, several hundred new villagers have arrived again, most of them transferred to craftsmen, so the gap for pajamas and shirts is huge.

But it should be fully replenished within the next two days.

Begin crafting!

The crafting efficiency is indeed much faster now.

Currently piloting Qi Yue, Agility can be increased to 16 points, shortening crafting time by 30%.

And because of the female tailors' semi-processed crafting, time was shortened by another 25%—truly far more efficient than before.

Moreover, Zhao Chi has temporarily not transferred his Enhancement Points back to Vitality, so it's still Efficiency +430%.

Compared to the previous crafting speed, the improvement is simply explosive.

One crafting cycle complete.

89 Goddess Pajamas crafted!

The standard time for Goddess Pajamas is 24 hours.

That's amazing...

At this moment, Zhao Chi noticed an unread message.

He opened it—it was a note from Su Qin.

【Zhao Chi, the equipment has been delivered to Penglai Town for you. This time Ding Dang and the others received it. She said she wanted to make improvements, so everything was placed next to the blacksmith shop.】

【I saw you were busy with Qi Yue, so I didn't disturb you two.】

【This time, the money from the grain and Experience Fruits you sold totals 850 gold coins.】

【But I helped you buy 1,000 Quick-Work Talismans, averaging 57 silver coins each, and also those 200 sets of female armor, which cost 280 gold coins, so the gold coins are all spent.】

【I've given all the Quick-Work Talismans to Sister Gu Qing, she'll give them to you later.】

【I know you'll still be busy these next two days. Come find me when you're free~】

Not bad.

Su Qin handles things quite briskly.

Zhao Chi immediately expressed his thanks.

Then he distributed 100 Quick-Work Talismans to Feng Xiu and 220 Quick-Work Talismans to Ding Dang—2 per craftsman on average.

Let those advanced female craftsmen stockpile them, so when there's demand later, they can speed things up at any time.

Zhao Chi had wanted to give them to them before, but at that time their professional abilities were really a bit low and couldn't be of much help.

But it's different now.

They've reached advanced craftsman level, so using Quick-Work Talismans on them isn't a waste.

Let them get used to it slowly.

Then let's continue!

Continue...

2 days later.

All fashion sets over-completed!

Damn, that's fast!

Zhao Chi felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

From now on, before crafting, he must convert all Enhancement Points to Efficiency.

Although it will cost some Improvement Points, it's really worth it!

Fashion sets complete.

Disembark from Qi Yue.

Next up is Zhuang Ya.

When he found Zhuang Ya, she was shouting at the top of her lungs in Chaoge Village.

The group of orcs tilling the land shrank their necks, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Afraid Zhuang Ya would burn them to ashes.

"How is it, Zhuang Ya? Are they still obedient?"

Zhao Chi's voice was like a switch.

The Zhuang Ya who had just been a tigress suddenly turned into a vixen.

She smiled softly at Zhao Chi: "Pretty good, but two who plotted a rebellion were burned to death—they're still smoking."

Hearing this, all those orcs trembled.

Zhao Chi saw some white ashes nearby—presumably those two orcs who had plotted rebellion.

When Zhao Chi arranged for Zhuang Ya to oversee these slaves, he gave her the power of life and death.

After all, those who plot rebellion certainly can't be spared.

And they must be eliminated publicly.

Zhao Chi would show absolutely no womanly compassion toward these captives.

They are all captured enemies. If they can work peacefully under Zhao Chi, then he'll give them food and clothes.

And guarantee their safety.

In battle, he won't use them as cannon fodder either.

There was only one requirement: work hard.

They worked, and Zhao Chi provided supplies.

If anyone tried to rebel, they would be executed without hesitation.

It seemed the results were quite good.

Now over 3,000 captives had already started working.

But their work attitude was terrible, and their efficiency was low.

It didn't matter, though—as long as they didn't resist, Zhao Chi could accept low efficiency.

Even if the efficiency was low, there were a lot of them.

When added up, there was still a fair amount of solid work output.

You really couldn't ask too much of slave labor.

"Alright, Zhuang Ya, leave this place to Wei Leng. Come with me—we need to make equipment."

Zhuang Ya nodded: "Understood! Wei Leng, this place is yours to look after."

Wei Leng had just been promoted to combat squad captain, at the height of her high spirits,

She said solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, and you too, Lord Zhuang Ya. I'll keep an eye on them and make sure they work hard."

Zhao Chi smiled: "Very good. Let's go, Zhuang Ya."

He brought Zhuang Ya into the smithy.

And plunged right in.

The smithy was packed full, even messier than the tailor's shop.

Various improved pieces of equipment were piled to the side.

There were quite a lot outside the smithy too.

These past few days, Ding Dang and the others hadn't been idle, working overtime to carry out preliminary improvements on those several hundred sets of equipment.

Of course, 40 sets were improved into rough and inferior quality, and another 10 sets failed outright and were ruined.

But it didn't matter—Zhao Chi had just bought 200 new sets of armor, more than enough.

Besides, this kind of loss only happened in the early stages; it was a necessary part of growth.

One had to allow them to fail.

Their success rate over the past few days had already been very high.

Because armor took a long time to make, Zhao Chi currently just bought it.

But as for weapons, Zhao Chi had Ding Dang and the others make them themselves.

By now, a large batch of iron weapons had also been accumulated.

Including shields.
