Chapter 1842

Cannot carry a sidearm.

Although steel equipment, whether in durability or stats, is twice that of iron equipment, theoretically a sidearm isn't needed.

But what Zhao Chi wants isn't a sidearm — it's multiple weapons.

After all, each weapon has different use scenarios.

The spear has the longest attack range, and the battle art Flying Thrust can quickly engage the enemy or break out of a siege.

Even though sword-and-shield users get no bonus from using a spear, they can still use spear-type battle arts for more flexible positioning or retreat.

And if a spearman stays with the spear after closing in on an enemy, it feels awkward.

After all, the spear is long, and the attack point is at the spearhead — close-quarters combat is at a real disadvantage.

At that point they can switch to the Phoenix Cry Blade and just hack away.

The Silks' hammer troops are the same.

More weapon types means more scenarios they can adapt to.

Now that they have this backpack, that goal can be achieved.

And the load-bearing capacity added by the backpack counts as extra enhancement, while the 【Over-limit Load】 gene is a base enhancement.

So this backpack can even enhance the load-bearing capacity brought by the 【Over-limit Load】 gene!

This way the female soldiers' load-bearing capacity can increase even more.

Once fully refined, it can add an extra 50% load-bearing capacity.

Currently, Taoyuan women's standard load is 160 kilograms, and maximum load is 480 kilograms.

With this women's backpack, the standard load directly becomes 240 kilograms, and the maximum load-bearing capacity becomes 720 kilograms…

They're truly heavy tanks now.

No question — the first option must be maxed out!

Next, there are still 4 options.

Cleanliness and comfort are still eliminated.

Of course, these two aren't useless stats.

After all, it's a backpack — if you keep stuffing things in, it gets dirty easily, especially if what you put in isn't clean, it gets dirty even faster.

If the cleanliness is high enough, even if you fill it with a bag of dirt, after pouring it out and giving it a pat, it'll still be relatively clean.

Comfort is useful too.

This kind of single-strap bag might put some burden on the shoulder.

If the comfort is high, not only will there be no burden, it'll even feel like the strap is massaging the shoulder.

Amazing.

Unfortunately, these two options are destined to be unselectable.

Then only 【Capacity】 and 【Stability】 are left.

The women's backpack's default capacity is 1 liter.

And each enhancement increases it by 500%, meaning 5 liters.

That's a decent boost.

If fully refined, it can add 50 liters of capacity — plus the original 1 liter — allowing it to hold up to 51 liters of items.

That's quite a lot of capacity.

A standard water-cooler bottle is about 19 liters, so it can hold nearly 3 of those.

A large backpack is about 25 liters, so it's the equivalent of 2 large backpacks.

The small carry-on suitcase a flight attendant brings is also about 25 liters, so it's as big as 2 flight-attendant suitcases.

This capacity is really decent.

And according to the notes… the backpack's size doesn't change — only the capacity increases.

So the resulting fashion item still looks like a cosmetic bag in size, yet the capacity is much larger.

It's extra space appearing out of thin air.

And the extra capacity can also change based on the item.

This is even more flexible than system space.

Amazing.

But amazing as it is, what's the use?

With such a large capacity, what would you put in it?

Food?

Water?

None of that's needed anymore.

After all, they all have the satiety-type women's underwear, which can store half a month's worth of food and water.

Medicine is almost unnecessary too — the recovery-type women's panties can also store large quantities of medicine.

Then what to put in it?

Their personal belongings?

Like goddess pajamas?

A change of clothes?

Cosmetics?

Or fire oil?

Ordinary female soldiers don't have system space — they generally carry their supplies on their person.

A larger backpack capacity would indeed make things more convenient for them.

Moreover, a woman's backpack doesn't have to hold only a woman's things.

It can also hold weapons and equipment.

This capacity is enough to fit three extremely heavy-type Xuan Nu Shields.

Or four extremely heavy Feng Ming Blades.

In the case of extremely heavy Moon-Chasing Spears, it can even fit six or seven.

If Su Qin uses it, they can also carry a large quantity of arrows.

And this special space doesn't take up load-bearing capacity.

Even fifty liters of iron can be carried on the shoulder with ease.

Besides helping combat personnel, it can also bring convenience to production personnel.

After all, those female craftsmen all have their own production tools, which they normally have to carry around constantly.

With this kind of backpack, they can just put them right inside.

Materials can also be put into the bag.

Beyond that, there should be many other benefits one can't think of at the moment.

This capacity is really worth improving.

But there's still one last option to consider.

【Stability】

Zhao Chi was a bit baffled when he saw this stability attribute, not understanding what it meant.

After reading the notes afterward, he was still baffled.

Although he couldn't say he fully understood, he had a rough idea.

Simply put, whether running, jumping, attacking, or defending, the body will sway.

Especially when attacked by an enemy, or when one's footing is unsteady, the body sways even more violently.

And this attribute increases stability in this regard.

It's similar to turning this women's backpack into a pendulum, maintaining the body's inertia.

Like a roly-poly toy.

Kind of like a tuned mass damper?

Zhao Chi also didn't quite understand for the moment.

But in any case, if this effect is improved, jumping down from a tree would be more stable, and being knocked back by an enemy would make one less likely to fall.

When Zhuang Ya stands and lets Zhao Chi take the rear path, she can also stand more steadily.

There won't be a situation where Zhao Chi's strength is too great, sending her stumbling about.
