Chapter 1325

Weapons can be adjusted the same way.

【6. Custom: Extreme Heavy Type (Phoenix Cry Blade)】Weight +200%, Durability +200%, Attack +200%, Destruction +200%

【6. Custom: Extreme Heavy Type (Moon-Chasing Spear)】Weight +200%, Durability +200%, Attack +200%, Penetration +200%

This way, all the female soldiers only need to carry one set of equipment.

No more being so bulky like they are now.

However, with the equipment getting heavier, the material consumption naturally increases as well.

All kinds of materials also grow exponentially.

Originally one set of armor required 26 metal ingots; now it's become 78.

The cost is higher.

Correspondingly, the weight has increased by 200%, and the work-hours have also doubled.

Originally, without any improvements, just crafting one ordinary set of Mystic Maiden Battle Armor required 145 work-hours.

Now it's become a full 435 work-hours.

It seems wanting to mass-produce in a short time is unrealistic.

Take a master blacksmith with a 110-point forging skill.

After various bonuses, it takes about 80 work-hours, which is 4 days, to craft one ordinary set of Extreme Heavy Type Mystic Maiden Battle Armor.

Right now, 110 master blacksmiths work in shifts around the clock, producing 110 sets in 4 days.

To produce 570 sets and equip all the female soldiers… it would take at least 3 weeks.

And this is only crafting, not yet including improvements.

The time really is a bit long.

Then…

Have them use Work-Speed Talismans?

These female blacksmiths don't have Zhao Chi's superhuman endurance, nor are they piloted by Zhao Chi, so they can't have half the mental pressure shared off.

However, they all have extremely high mood bonuses.

Having each of them use 4 Work-Speed Talismans is a relatively suitable number.

Using 4 Work-Speed Talismans takes 40 minutes, then sleep for 100 minutes.

Plus another 100 minutes of rest time.

After all, 4 Work-Speed Talismans for them is equivalent to working continuously for 40 hours.

Resting for 100 minutes is already very little time.

This must be guaranteed.

Looking at it this way, Zhao Chi really can endure.

So, these female craftsmen complete one crafting cycle of "crafting + sleep + rest" in 240 minutes.

They can run 6 cycles in a day.

That is, they can use 24 Work-Speed Talismans per day, equivalent to 240 work-hours.

Calculating it this way…

Just two work cycles, and they can produce 1.1 sets of Extreme Heavy Type Mystic Maiden Battle Armor; in a day that's 3.3 sets…

This speed is acceptable.

But this is only crafting.

They still need Ding Dang and the others to perform improvements.

Then some additional time is needed.

Subtracting the improvement time… each of them can craft 2 sets of improved Extreme Heavy Type Mystic Maiden Battle Armor per day.

Very good.

Correspondingly.

If it's the Extreme Heavy Improved Phoenix Cry Blade, or the Mystic Maiden Shield, they can make about 20 pieces per day.

For the Extreme Heavy Improved Moon-Chasing Spear, they can make 30 pieces per day.

Overall, these 110 master blacksmiths need to use Work-Speed Talismans continuously for 3 days to craft all the improved equipment for the current female soldiers.

Then, Zhao Chi can simultaneously begin the super-improvements.

How many Work-Speed Talismans would that need?

110 blacksmiths, needing 3 days, 24 per person per day… in total needing…

7,920?

Holy sh*t…

That's way too many, isn't it?

But they can use Efficiency Guidebooks to directly increase efficiency by 50%, thereby halving the Work-Speed Talismans needed.

Even so, it would still need close to 4,000.

Forget it… take it slow…

For now, just use the combination of multiple weapons and multiple shields…

It doesn't look good, but it should be very practical…

At least now there's a start.

By next month, they might all be switched to new gear.

Su Qin's side hasn't finished the meeting yet, but right now there are 4,500 gold coins in hand.

What to do once you have money?

Of course, by spending money.

Zhao Chi didn't have anything too urgently necessary right now, but he could head to the Exchange first and see.

Besides, he also needed to go to the Mission Hall to pick up missions.

Mainly ones for beast lairs.

Then let's set off.

He hailed a spirit-energy car.

Listening to the driver complain the whole way, he soon arrived at the Exchange.

Not too many people today.

There were actually still empty seats among the chairs in the hall. After collecting the latest product catalog, Zhao Chi sat down and slowly flipped through it.

Still checking the original bloodlines first.

There were two originals, very expensive.

He couldn't afford either.

Then he looked at blueprints.

There were some decent ones too, but full blueprint sets were rare.

Zhao Chi marked the ones he was interested in, to buy first in a bit.

If he couldn't gather a complete set, he'd buy the loose pieces first, gathering them one by one.

【Jade Beauty Hammer Super Improvement Manual】 40 gold

【Swallow Spin Axe Blueprint】 8 gold

【Swallow Spin Axe Improvement Manual】 15 gold

【Ladies' Underwear Super Improvement Manual】 28 gold

【Wooden Cart Improvement Manual】 17 gold

He'll take them all.

Three weapons, one fashion, one tool.

Continuing to look at items.

There was also a decent item, worth taking.

【Race Fashion Expansion Stone】 1700 gold coins

By default, only 5 fashion pieces can be worn.

Wearing more is ineffective.

This expansion stone can expand the number of fashion pieces that take effect.

Of course, they must also be in different slots to take effect.
