Chapter 1552

The women of Taoyuan take about 100 minutes.

In any case, sleeping is something that can only happen after a battle ends, or during a ceasefire.

During combat, it's basically very hard to recover potion resistance.

Next is the potion list.

【Potion List】:

【Potions】

"Effect Duration" 5 seconds

"Resistance Increase" 10%

【Grade, Effect, Price】

"Basic: 20, 50 copper"

"Intermediate: 50, 1.5 silver"

"Advanced: 100, 5 silver"

"Superior: 200, 15 silver

"Supreme: 500, 50 silver"

The reference prices and resistance of pills and potions are the same.

Of course, there will also be price fluctuations.

In fact, the price fluctuations are very drastic.

The difference lies in the effect and duration.

Potions only take effect for 5 seconds, and the final effect is also somewhat worse.

But potions recover extremely quickly.

Even the worst basic potion can recover 20 points within 5 seconds.

That's equivalent to recovering 4 points per second, which is 1 times faster than the recovery speed of advanced pills, almost catching up to superior pills.

Intermediate potions can recover 10 points per second, already matching the recovery speed of supreme pills.

Advanced potions are even stronger, recovering 20 points per second.

Superior potions recover 40 points per second.

Supreme potions are the strongest, recovering 500 points in 5 seconds, equivalent to 100 points per second!

So pills and potions each have their own advantages.

【Pills】 Large total recovery, slow recovery speed.

Not suitable for use on the front lines during high-intensity combat, better suited for use during combat breaks.

【Potions】 Small total recovery, fast recovery speed.

Suitable for use during intense confrontations.

Whether potions or pills, after consuming 10 in a row, potion resistance is maxed out.

However.

Fortunately, resistance is calculated separately between different body states.

Health, stamina, energy, and spiritual power each have their own separate potion resistance.

So in each battle, the female soldiers can consume at most 40 of various potions, 10 of each type.

Calculated based on 700 female soldiers consuming to the max, a total of 28,000 will be used up.

That's quite a number.

This is just Zhao Chi's 700 female soldiers; for other great lords with tens of thousands of soldiers, the potion consumption would be massive.

Of course, this is only theoretical.

Not all lords will give their soldiers this many potions, or even any at all.

Everything varies from person to person.

After one battle for Zhao Chi:

If calculated based on basic and intermediate potions each making up half, it would consume 280 gold coins worth of potions.

If calculated based on basic, intermediate, and advanced potions each making up one-third, it would consume 653 gold coins worth of potions.

For the current Zhao Chi, this is still manageable.

But for the previous Zhao Chi and ordinary lords, this is an outright large sum of money.

After calculating…

If only consuming basic-grade medicines, before potion resistance is maxed out, that is, consuming 10 medicines, at most 220 points can be replenished; if potions, it's 110 points.

If only consuming intermediate-grade medicines, then consuming 10 medicines, pills can recover 550 points, potions can recover 275 points.

If only consuming advanced-grade medicines, 10 medicines can replenish at most 1100 points, potions are 550 points.

Superior pills can replenish at most 2750 points, potions are 1100 points.

Supreme pills can replenish at most 5500 points, potions are 2750 points.

So it's still best to consume advanced-grade medicines whenever possible.

The gap in medicines is also a gap in combat power.

Medicines are also very important.

Currently Zhao Chi has 140,000 of various medicines.

30% were self-purchased, the remaining 70% were seized.

Now they need to be distributed evenly among the female soldiers, equivalent to each female soldier getting 200.

Most are basic and intermediate-grade medicines.

High-grade medicines aren't many.

Special-grade and Super-grade are even fewer.

This simply isn't enough.

The female soldiers' base attributes are all 6 points, so each body status is 120 points, adding up to 480 points.

Calculating based on the underwear outfit being able to pre-store 1500% of medicines, each female soldier can pre-store 7200 points of medicine data.

Of course, this calculation is very rough.

It didn't account for female soldiers with enhanced life.

Nor did it account for female heroes like Gu Qing.

But it doesn't matter, a rough estimate is fine.

Leave the detailed calculations to Gu Qing.

Anyway, Gu Qing is willing to do these calculations.

Zhao Chi won't bother with that, and directly estimates based on 7200 points per female soldier.

If they all take basic-grade medicines.

Each female soldier can pre-store 180 pills, or 360 vials of potion.

However, since it's pre-storage, of course they should store potions.

After all, they take effect quickly.

If every female soldier stores potions, 360 vials per soldier, 700 female soldiers would be… 252,000 vials?

Huh?

252,000 vials??

That's quite a lot…

Didn't calculate wrong?

Zhao Chi calculated carefully again and found it correct, it really is that many.

It comes out to needing 1260 gold coins.

That amount is actually fine.

Although not cheap, it's still acceptable.

But after all, these are basic-grade medicines, the effects aren't good, recovery is too slow, and every 20 points of recovery adds 10% medicine resistance.

Although the price-performance ratio is the highest, the resistance-performance ratio is the lowest; Zhao Chi actually doesn't really want to use basic-grade medicines anymore.

Then intermediate-grade medicines.

Still using potions.

Then… roughly each female soldier can store 144 vials of intermediate-grade potion.
