Chapter 1594

Zhao Chi wanted to use Gu Qingsi to help Su Qin complete the modification in one go.

But now there were two problems.

The first problem was that Gu Qingsi could provide 30 modification points, so there were a total of 50 modification points available.

And among these options, only the last two options had a modification cost of 2 points. After transferring the data, even if modified to the max, it would only consume 40 modification points, leaving 10 modification points still needing to be used.

But these last 10 modification points could only be used on the option that consumed 5 modification points.

It was a bit of a waste.

This way, it was destined to require 2 modifications to be perfect.

But this wasn't a problem.

He could just consume one more "Commissioned Modification Book" later.

The Commissioned Modification Book Zhao Chi had purchased was meant to be stockpiled; he hadn't expected to need it now…

The main question was whether it was worth using this item for the effect of those 10 modification points.

The moment this thought arose in Zhao Chi's mind, he already had the answer.

Worth it.

For Su Qin's use, of course it was worth it.

Then this problem could be solved.

The second problem was the key one.

To use Gu Qingsi's material for the modification, he first had to make the finger guard out of Gu Qingsi, and only then could the modification be performed.

The problem was… this was Gu Qing's Spider Queen silk!

Even a Master-level tailor, without those grey data prompts, would need to fumble around for a long time.

Let alone an Expert-level one.

Unless he piloted Su Qin's territory's elven tailors himself…

Those elves weren't like Gu Qing and the others; their body compatibility with him was 100%, so theirs would probably be quite low.

But the important thing was, these elves were ultimately Su Qin's people; they had no loyalty or obedience toward him, let alone affection, so their cooperation was also a problem.

People like Su Qin, who were wholeheartedly willing to give up control of their body, were rare.

Huh?

He could pilot Su Qin himself.

Su Qin wasn't a tailor, but he was.

It wasn't Su Qin doing the crafting anyway!

This way, he could perfectly craft the finger guard with Gu Qingsi as the main material.

However, this way, the crafting difficulty of this finger guard would be too high.

Unless he piloted Su Qin to craft it himself from now on, her territory would find it hard to produce it stably.

For Su Qin, this technology was as good as nonexistent.

If that was the case, he might as well have used it himself earlier, keeping the technology on his side and periodically making a batch to supply Su Qin.

But things had already come to this, so let it be.

Then… he'd first modify a batch of ordinary material, and then use Gu Qingsi himself to craft a batch of super-strong material.

Since he was going to use two "Commissioned Modification Books" anyway, this killed two birds with one stone.

This way, Su Qin's territory's craftsmen could craft ordinary material finger guards for sale, and he could also make super-strong finger guards of Gu Qingsi material.

Both could be taken care of!

That's decided then!

"Su Qin, let me tell you about these options; listen and think about which to prioritize for modification."

"Ah! Okay!"

Su Qin had been staring at Zhao Chi.

Watching his expression shift unpredictably, back and forth, she was a little worried.

Hearing Zhao Chi call her name, she got a fright.

Zhao Chi laughed: "Why are you trembling? Listen carefully."

Zhao Chi read out the options.

Su Qin furrowed her brows in thought.

"So, right now you can modify one of them 10 times, maxing it out directly? Or modify 2 of them, 5 times each?"

"Correct."

"Then let me think…"

Su Qin immediately began considering rapidly.

Finger strength was definitely needed; once finger strength increased, she could draw a harder bow.

Although drawing a bow relied on the fingers, the arm, and the shoulder.

Being able to strengthen all of them would of course be better, but being able to strengthen just one of them was also good.

The harder the bow, the greater the power and range.

This was a must-add.

Fatigue was also needed.

Every time she used Energy-Gathering Arrow, her entire arm would be extremely fatigued, especially the fingers, which could barely even move.

If the fatigue of the fingers could be modified, that would be good too; after all, the arm's endurance was much greater than the fingers'.

This was also a must-add.

If there's pain... that's fine too.

After all, after drawing a bow for a long time, the fingers will hurt a lot.

Even if the fingers aren't worn raw, the muscles and bones inside will still ache.

But the number of improvements is limited, so pain has to be given up.

As for comfort and cleanliness, they're not a joke either — they're useful.

When drawing a bow, the burden on the fingers is heavy; if comfort is high, it can reduce this burden, which also helps a lot in combat.

Cleanliness is also good — besides reducing the sweat from the fingers, it can also reduce the oil and debris that comes from drawing the bow and handling arrows, and it can also help the fingers fight for longer periods.

However, compared to finger strength and fatigue, all of these can be sacrificed.

"Zhao Chi, help me improve finger strength and fatigue by 5 each."

"No, there must be pain."

"Ah? Really? Then... then improve finger strength and pain then, so I can fight longer and the power will be greater too."

"Finger strength is good, but this is something to be sold, so I suggest changing fatigue and pain."

"... You can decide for me, no need to ask me."

"Good, how many tech improvement points does your territory have?"

"Still 33 points."

Su Qin's improvement points weren't obtained through improvement books.

She obtained them all through combat, by destroying other people's territories.

It's just that she's different from Zhao Chi — she doesn't have that many ways to spend them, so she has quite a few left over.

"Very good, that's enough."

In an instant, 7 of Su Qin's tech improvement points were consumed, and the improvement was complete.

Zhao Chi immediately felt something was different.

That feeling of belonging to Clear Bamboo Town from just now had vanished.

The improvement succeeded, so the effect of the commissioned improvement book had already ended.

But this wasn't over yet.

"Su Qin, take this and keep using it on me."

Zhao Chi handed over the "Commissioned Improvement Book" he had redeemed himself.

"Ah? Why?"

"Don't ask, you'll know in a bit."

"This... there's no need, it's enough that you can help me improve, no need to be too perfect."

"What? Not listening to me?"
