Chapter 1620
He estimates that after crafting it one more time, it'll be used up.
Su Qin bought another 2,000 Quick-Work Talismans, bringing the total stock to 6,686 — almost all of them purchased by Su Qin.
The price was considered fair, but since Zhao Chi bought too many, the price of Quick-Work Talismans has now risen to 80 silver coins.
But these 6,686 are already plenty; Zhao Chi won't need to buy more in the short term.
The potions have also been bought in sufficient quantity.
Zhao Chi gave Su Qin 3,000 gold coins to buy medicine, and the female soldiers have already drunk all of it.
Including the 10,000 bottles of super-improved potions given by Shangguan Ting, the female soldiers drank every last drop, storing them in their bodies.
However, Gu Qing set aside 500 of each of these two types of super-improved potions for Zhao Chi, to be used when he needs them.
Now every female soldier's potion effects are fully pre-stored; from the outside, there's no way to tell at all.
They can be used at any time during battle.
Of the 10,000 gold coins pre-stored with Su Qin, only a little over 2,000 remain; by tomorrow or the day after, they'll likely all be spent.
The 3,000 gold coins from selling flour were given by Su Qin to Gu Qing; Zhao Chi's current cash totals a little over 3,750 gold coins.
Gu Qing's territory, Feelings Thread Village, is slowly being built up.
Zhao Chi doesn't have any particularly good plans for now — there's plenty of time anyway, so for the moment he'll just develop it as a regular village-level territory.
Feelings Thread Village uses Refugee Talismans every day.
Up to today, 4 have been used in total — 40 extra female villagers plus the normal 50 female villagers, bringing the village's population to 90.
Judging by appearance alone, those Silk Clan women are indistinguishable from the Taoyuan people.
But their urine output is truly enormous.
Squat down and they can go "pssshhhh" for half the day.
Although they can all convert it into Spider Queen silk thread, Gu Qing alone producing it is actually more than enough.
Zhao Chi prefers to let them just urinate directly.
Zhao Chi is not a pervert.
The main reason is that the raw materials for both types of fertilizer have always been in short supply.
Previously, the bottleneck for fertilizer was the long time needed for composting and fermentation, but now Zhao Chi has decided to use Quick-Growth Talismans to speed up that time — buying time with money.
But without raw materials, no amount of Quick-Growth Talismans will help.
So far, a total of 480 tons of Golden Juice Fertilizer have been produced, but that's only enough to apply to 480 farm plots.
Yet Zhao Chi's territory already has over 8,000 farm plots, and the number is still growing by several hundred per day.
With the Silk Clan's massive urine output, Zhao Chi is genuinely thrilled.
Their numbers are still small now, but in 4 days, their population plus the Refugee Talismans will reach 170 in total — all 170 of them possessing the +1500% Output gene effect.
The urine output of these 170 Silk Clan women alone can already surpass that of Zhao Chi's 2,500-plus Taoyuan natives here.
The future production of Golden Juice Fertilizer is just around the corner.
Unfortunately, there's still no way to produce Gold-Block Fertilizer for now.
No matter how much they eat, it's still limited.
Relying on their own efforts can indeed boost output somewhat, but it still can't compare to the massive boost from the gene.
Then forget it.
Having Golden Juice Fertilizer is still good.
Zhao Chi has been thinking these past few days about how to use those Taoyuan Silk Clan women.
They will definitely all be reassigned to become soldiers.
But what specific type of soldier still needs consideration.
The first option is to reassign them all as medics, keeping them in sync with Gu Qing, debuting as doctor-plus-control-type female soldiers.
It's certainly possible, but there's no need for it just yet.
After all, Gu Qing alone has an enormous milk output, and there are also those 50 professional medics.
Their new underwear outfits also store large quantities of medicine, essentially making them self-sufficient medics.
Although they could take medicine before too, now they don't have to withdraw from the battlefield to do so.
But most importantly, these 90 Silk Clan women already possess the Self-Healing Bodily Fluid gene — and it's Gu Qing's enhanced version of the bodily fluid gene at that.
Not only is the recovery speed extremely fast, but the recovery amount is also considerable.
Unlike medicine, which builds up drug resistance, this only needs bodily fluid to take effect.
And unlike healing techniques and life-healing techniques, it doesn't consume spiritual power — only bodily fluid.
But their bodily fluid is abundant.
Probably the biggest beneficiaries of the Ladies' Underwear are Gu Qing and her Silk Clan.
The 15-day water supply pre-stored isn't locked in — it can be used at any time.
Taoyuan women can drink 20 kilograms of water per day; over 15 days that's 300 kilograms, and after their +1500% Output boost, these women can draw 4,800 kilograms of water from their bodies.
That's equivalent to 4.8 tons.
And that's per person.
That's why Zhao Chi previously felt that once Gu Qing put on this kind of underwear, her milk output was simply terrifying.
And now, 90 equally terrifying women have appeared, with more being added every day.
Probably the only thing that can't compare to healing spiritual techniques is that the silk-spraying isn't very controllable.
They don't know Wind Control techniques and can't manipulate the silk's trajectory — they can only spray it straight out.
It can very likely be blocked.
So they can only precisely heal nearby allies; healing allies a bit farther away is somewhat difficult.
Or perhaps they could just spray wildly like Gu Qing, spreading into a whole curtain of silk rain as it falls — that would work too.
Regardless, their silk threads still had powerful healing ability.
Therefore…
The Healer class could be ruled out.
The Fire Mage class was even more out of the question.
So he would consider melee classes instead.
Right now, Zhao Chi's side had four melee classes that could bring out real damage: Swordsman, Spearman, Axeman, and Hammer Soldier.
Swordsmen and Spearmen each had 300 people at present, so if possible, Zhao Chi still wanted to switch them to other troop types.
After much deliberation, he decided to let the silk-race women use hammers.
For the foreseeable future, quite a few of the enemies would be werewolves.
Following rational reasoning, he should pick the sword, which had the highest kill efficiency against unarmored units.
However, although the wolf-race lords themselves were werewolves, many of them employed other races.
For example, last time Zhao Chi had seen some werewolf lords using nightmare beasts, iron-armored demons, strong beastmen, trolls, and the like.
Moreover, the higher the lord's level, the more willing they were to use other races.
Of course, those other races were definitely stronger races than the wolf race.
Among them, the strong beastmen and trolls should still be wearing super-heavy armor.
The iron-armored demons were even naturally born with heavy armor.
So choosing Hammer Soldiers could also apply to quite a few battles.
And now, with the multiple bonuses from the Experience Fruit, the Goddess Sleepwear, and the Phantom Armory in the territory, those soldiers were no longer limited to training in a single weapon.
They mainly practiced their primary weapon, but even a little practice with a secondary weapon improved them quickly.
Moreover, even if it didn't suit them, Zhao Chi had the Class Change Room and could switch classes at any time.
In the end, all 90 of these silk-race women were reclassed as Hammer Soldiers.
They picked up hammers and swung each one with tremendous force.
Zhao Chi didn't dare get close.
If hit by accident, one hammer blow could smash the Intelligence-form Zhao Chi to death.
These silk-race women no longer needed to carry shields.
After all, they had to spray silk.
Spraying with the mouth worked too, but adding a palm to assist could spray more and faster, better bringing out their advantage.
One hand sprays silk to stick the opponent, while the other hand swings the great hammer over to smash them.
Also, the great hammer had no blade, so it wouldn't cut the sprayed silk — that was another benefit of using hammers.
