Chapter 1441

Every rat-person could, almost without exception, overturn one farm field's worth of soil per day according to the latest requirements.

132 rat-people, over these 37 days, overturned at least 4,884 farm fields.

Added to the ceaseless work of Gu Yan and the others, plus the joining of several thousand slaves, this astonishing result was finally achieved.

By now, over half of the entire territory of Chaoge Village has unexpectedly been reclaimed.

Today another 940 rat-people joined, and the speed of reclaiming farm fields will break through the heavens.

The three of them roughly estimated that the remaining territory of Chaoge Village could still yield over 7,500 more farm fields.

As for the time…

It should be no more than 7 days.

After this, the rat-people's work will shift from reclaiming to tilling and loosening the soil.

Much easier than reclaiming.

The biggest difficulty, instead, is planting.

Once the farm fields are fully reclaimed in a week, those 5,000-plus captives cannot be released yet — they must temporarily continue with planting work…

Otherwise, buy a few more flower demons.

But the flower demons of Horn Cliff Town have already been bought out; we'll have to go to other towns or counties to look.

Let's take it one step at a time.

【Zhao Chi Faction Farm Field Status】

【Ordinary Field】7,175 plots

【Golden Juice Field】220 plots

【Double Gold Field】160 plots

【Super Field】100 plots

(Ordinary Field: only "Territory Trait" bonus: growth speed +20%, yield +30%)

(Golden Juice Field: possesses "Territory Trait + Golden Juice Fertilizer" bonus: growth speed +130%, yield +30%)

(Double Gold Field: possesses "Territory Trait + Golden Juice Fertilizer + Gold Nugget Fertilizer" bonus: growth speed +130%, yield +140%)

(Super Field: possesses "Territory Trait + Golden Juice Fertilizer + Gold Nugget Fertilizer + Fertile Soil" bonus: growth speed +150%, yield +160%)

The Super Field is the ultimate form of farm field in Zhao Chi's territory.

At least for now.

And it will take a very long time to fully achieve.

Finally finished with the agricultural matters.

The miscellaneous tasks are considered done.

Finally have time to craft fashion.

Gu Qing's new Spider Queen silk thread can push the fashion's attributes one step further.

It will definitely be helpful for the battle in a few days.

Entering the tailor shop, he saw Qi Yue sleeping soundly.

Zhao Chi was hesitating whether to wake her when she woke on her own.

"Hehe, my lord, did I wake up in time?"

Zhao Chi praised: "In time. How did you know? Heard my footsteps?"

Qi Yue smiled and shook her head: "No, it's that your scent, my lord, is too strong — I smelled it and woke up."

"Well, but now I smell you too, and it's a rich fragrance, very pleasant."

Qi Yue said with a touch of shyness: "I know, so every time you come find me at night, my lord, you're just like a little puppy."

Zhao Chi was at a loss for words.

Qi Yue smiled charmingly: "Hehe, I really like you like that, my lord. I won't take up more of your time — come on in."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Alright, let me sort these materials first, otherwise it'll waste time distinguishing them later."

Qi Yue leaned closer: "I'll help you sort them."

The tailor shop was already piled full of Gu Qing's newly produced silk thread.

The new Spider Queen silk is indistinguishable from the previous Spider Maiden silk to the naked eye — only the system can tell them apart.

But this batch of Spider Queen silk is all a translucent pure white, with almost no yellow.

Looks like Gu Qing really has been working hard at drinking water these past few days.

After the two sorted for a while, they discovered Gu Qing had already finished sorting long ago.

The workbench was lined entirely with new Spider Queen silk.

The Spider Maiden silk was tucked away in the inner area, and had already been labeled on top.

In the very corner, there was also a small half-box of the earliest Spider Woman silk, all neatly sorted and placed.

Gu Qing is quite attentive too.

Then there's nothing left to chance.

Just as he was about to start crafting, the system suddenly popped up a notification from Li Ruanyu:

【Everyone, this is Li Ruanyu】

【Please teleport to this coordinate location now; we will hold a meeting here】

【The matter is urgent; please teleport over immediately】

【I and each squad leader are here waiting for everyone】

【Repeating again, please teleport immediately; this is an order】

Zhao Chi looked at this notification with some puzzlement.

He knew there was a meeting, but why was it earlier than scheduled?

He had originally planned to use that time to first produce a sample of the improved Spider Empress Silk fashion.

Looks like there's no time now.

What kind of meeting is this urgent?

If it were someone else, Zhao Chi would have wanted to verify it from multiple sources, but this was indeed a notice sent personally by Li Ruanyu.

And on the notice's label, there were also the joint signatures of several other captains.

In terms of formality, there was absolutely no problem.

Unless the entire upper echelons of the Jade Squad had gone wrong.

Forget it then, teleport.

"Qiyue, I have to go to a meeting first, you're free to act. Tell Gu Qing about the situation, and if you have anything urgent, you can also notify me with a voice-transmission talisman."

Qiyue obediently nodded: "Alright, my lord, I'll go tell Sister Gu Qing right now."

Zhao Chi patted her head.

Click teleport.

In an instant, Zhao Chi arrived at a vast, desolate place.

All around was blackish-brown earth,

no green plants whatsoever, nor any buildings, and the view was likewise unrestricted, allowing him to see directly the white mist walls in the distance on all sides.

Zhao Chi had been here before.

He had a deep impression of this unique environment.

This was the territory from which they had set out together with the Jade Merchant Caravan before.

A territory desolate everywhere, yet possessing spatial rifts.

A meeting here of all places?

Several people stood ahead.

Right in the middle was Li Ruanyu, clad in a suit of battle armor.

She was not wearing the stocking uniform she often wore, but rather a strange suit of battle armor.

Her expression was solemn.

But upon seeing Zhao Chi, she gave him a slight nod of acknowledgment.

Zhao Chi also nodded in response.

To Li Ruanyu's left was a long-haired middle-aged man who looked like a rock singer.

That was Yin Tenglong, captain of the Flying Dragon Squad, and also vice-captain of the Jade Squad.

A faint smile always hung on his face, and upon seeing Zhao Chi, he gave him a light smile.
