Chapter 1531

Now it's quiet.

Zhao Chi shook his head, tossing these stray thoughts out of his mind.

He found Qiyue in the Phantom Martial Chamber; Qiyue had just finished practicing and was in a cheerful mood.

Her long, smooth hair draped behind her shoulders, her features soft and lovely, a gentle smile on her face.

"What's up? Did you have a breakthrough in combat? Why are you so happy?"

Qiyue said with a smile, "I can now take Yanping down solo."

"Really?"

"Yes, but I need to use my Silver Moon transformation and all six arms to do it."

"That still counts! Do you have any other help, or skill boosts?"

Qiyue smiled and shook her head: "None at all — it's a pure one-on-one between me and Yanping."

"Amazing!"

Qiyue said with a smile, "After the equipment fusion, even though he grabbed me badly and my health dropped severely, I felt no pain at all, so my attack motions never warped from the pain."

"Mm…"

"Yanping's attacks are fierce and his damage is much higher than mine, but my attack speed is faster than his, and with six arms it's even faster still. My talent stacks up to an extremely high level in no time, and I can blow him apart in under a minute."

"Still a straight-up brawl, huh."

"Right. If I used Genetic Enhancement, I could take him down even faster and more easily."

"Not bad, Qiyue — you're a full-blown fierce warrior now."

"It's all thanks to you, my lord."

"It's the result of all of us working hard together."

"Hehe, let's go, my lord — we're going to make outfits. Please come in."

"Let's not make outfits yet — let's go to the Oil Refinery first."

"The Oil Refinery — are we making Ultra-Bright Fire Oil?"

"This time it's something completely new, nothing like before. You'll find out soon. Let's go."

Zhao Chi slipped into Qiyue's body.

There's a lot of work to do now, but improving the new fire oil and producing a batch of it won't take long.

When there's a lot of work, you can finish the quick, short tasks first, then move on to the ones that need sustained, longer effort.

The two of them quickly entered the Oil Refinery.

Oil Refinery Captain Chen Hua greeted him respectfully, and the several female oil workers all greeted him at the same time.

The nimble-handed female workers quickly cleared a workbench for Zhao Chi.

Although the Oil Refinery inevitably gets a bit greasy, their work habits are excellent — everything is neat and tidy.

They've already done the best they can.

After Zhao Chi thanked them, he activated the Fire Oil Improvement Tome and the Super Improvement Tome.

Two beams of light flew out.

The improvement interface he had seen before appeared before his eyes.

【Please select improvement direction】

【Fire Oil Improvement Points】 20 points

【1. Brightness 100%】 10 points

【2. Temperature 100%】 10 points

【3. Duration 100%】 5 points

【4. Cleanliness 25%】 2 points

【5. Safety 20%】 1 point

Two sets of improvement tomes, to be turned into two kinds of fire oil with different uses.

Previously, because Zhao Chi lacked experience and didn't understand 〖Flower-Plucking Jade-Substitution〗 deeply, he hadn't refined it perfectly.

Back then he had separated brightness and cleanliness, but actually both can be achieved together.

This time, he'll improve it to do both.

Both brightness and cleanliness.

This is the application-type fire oil.

Both clean and bright.

The other type is for Zhuang Ya's use.

This one increases temperature and duration.

Temperature relates to flame density, and duration is, of course, how long it lasts.

Both of these improvement options are helpful to Zhuang Ya.

Actually, this kind of fire oil is also very helpful in combat.

Especially when defending — pour this fire oil on a haystack, light it, and toss it down from the city wall, and the area below the wall becomes a sea of fire.

It can burn enemies to death, and also block them.

When attacking, it can also be lit and used directly — it's basically like a Molotov cocktail.

But a big fire can burn everything.

It'll also burn up a lot of loot.

At the very least, corpses, leather armor, iron armor, weapons, and so on — a lot of it could be destroyed.

When victory is assured, it's better to have more loot.

First, improve the first type.

There are now 20 improvement points, but only one option has a value of 1 point behind it, so the ability of 【Flower-Plucking Jade-Substitution】 cannot be maximized.

But it doesn't matter — I can improve half first, and continue later.

First, begin updating the original fire oil version.

Max out the brightness directly — this cannot be skimped on.

6 technology improvement points spent, transfer successful.

【Your improvements are as follows】:

【1. Brightness 100%】 ×10

【Confirm?】

Click confirm.

Immediately after, Zhao Chi enters the work page.

Then, on the work page, select Improve.

【The current product still has unallocated improvement points. Configure them now?】

That's it!

Can continue improving.

In the brand-new improvement interface, the point cost for every option has been restored.

Zhao Chi spends another 5 technology improvement points, turning the cleanliness improvement point into 1 point as well, and maxes it out at the same time.

Click confirm again!

【Congratulations, your territory already has mastered the "Clean-Type Ultra-Bright Fire Oil" improved technology】

Just as expected — the names merged into one.

Immediately after, improve the second type of fire oil.

Same process as just now.

Zhao Chi splits it into 2 batches, spending 12 technology points to max out both temperature and duration.

The system sends another prompt:

【Congratulations, your territory already has mastered the "Long-Lasting Ultra-Hot Fire Oil" improved technology】

Not bad — sounds good just from the name.

It's only been successfully improved now, not yet crafted, so Zhao Chi cannot see the specific data.

Although it can be inferred, it might not be accurate.

Start crafting directly!

There are quite a few finished fire oils now — just improve them directly.
