Chapter 1850

~6 min read 1,163 words

A lot of medicines were seized, and there's no need to use them for now.

The blueprints and such can be looked through.

Unfortunately, most of them are useless, and they're incomplete.

Going straight to the racial bloodlines.

There turned out to be only 2.

And both require a General-level identity to purchase.

This shows that both of these racial bloodlines are newly registered, both freshly dropped this time.

Last time Zhao Chi already bought out all the racial bloodlines.

Only now have they been restocked.

This also indirectly reflects that racial bloodlines really aren't easy to obtain.

Then forget it.

Wait another two days, maybe something good will show up.

After notifying Su Qin, Zhao Chi plunged straight into Qi Yue's body.

Crafting frantically together with her at the tailor shop.

Until nightfall.

All three specifications of wooden carts were made, 200 of each.

600 in total.

Qi Yue's hands were numb.

For the female soldiers, the small wooden cart was practically as convenient as a backpack.

Fast to push, nimble to operate.

Terrain adaptability and movement speed both increase by 35%, a hefty bonus — it can be pushed over any terrible, muddy ground, and it can carry up to 600 kilograms.

For the vast majority of craftsmen, this wooden cart is more than enough.

The medium wooden cart is also good.

Terrain adaptability and movement speed both get +20%, requires two hands to operate, but it's still nimble, and it can hold 3 tons of cargo — already a great deal.

If it weren't for transportation, the medium wooden cart would already suffice for every transport task in Zhao Chi's territory.

The large wooden cart is the king of hauling.

Terrain adaptability and movement speed only get a 5% bonus — though low, having any bonus at all is great.

A normal large wooden cart not only has no bonus but actually comes with several debuffs; having any bonus at all is already a plus.

Most important is the cargo capacity — the maximum load reaches a whopping 15 tons.

And although this wooden cart is big, it does have wheels after all.

Taoyuan women can push it just fine too, it just takes more stamina.

It's still best to use Feathered Oxen.

But this kind of cart is basically only used when transporting large quantities of supplies.

For example, hauling war spoils after a victorious battle, or later transporting 10,000 tons of grain to Zhao Cang — that will rely on this kind of cart.

After finishing production, it was already past 10 at night.

Originally Zhao Chi already was on a roll and wanted to keep going.

But Qi Yue reminded him in time.

Qi Yue 【My lord, you should still have 13 points of genetic material left today, right? Shouldn't you go use them up first? Otherwise they'll go to waste tomorrow, won't they?】

Zhao Chi stopped immediately upon hearing it.

Zhao Chi 【... It really is.】

After leaving Qi Yue, Zhao Chi immediately rushed toward Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was arranging the distribution of the wooden carts; Zhao Chi grabbed her directly and headed toward Phoenix Chant Tower.

"Ah ya?"

Gu Qing let out a soft cry.

Only after seeing it was Zhao Chi did she break into a giggling smile.

"Hehe, what's the matter, my lord, dragging me off in such a rush — where are we going?"

Zhao Chi said: "There's only a little over an hour left today, and I still have 13 genetic points unused. They're about to go to waste — I need to hurry and give them all to you."

Gu Qing slapped her forehead: "Oh dear, that's right. I was actually thinking of reminding you this afternoon, but you were busy crafting at the time, so I figured I'd mention it later, and then I got so busy I forgot all about it."

Zhao Chi said: "It's fine, there's still time. But time is tight — the two of us need to work closely together, though we'll definitely have to speed things up to make it."

Gu Qing giggled coquettishly: "Hehe, I can only wish for it, my lord. You just come at me, I'll definitely cooperate properly."

On the way, Zhao Chi checked the system.

There was nothing abnormal in the system, and no other notifications had been received.

There were a few messages from Su Qin.

But the messages were basically all about the details of the purchased supplies and the corresponding costs.

These matters were of no great importance.

Just leave it to Su Qin to handle.

Entering Gu Qing's room in Phoenix Cry Tower.

Gu Qing set a few outfits aside.

Then she smiled at Zhao Chi: "My lord, time is tight — don't be polite this time."

"Alright, then you'll have to bear with me."

"This kind of thing, I'm very willing to take on."

Time was tight, so Zhao Chi could only treat Gu Qing as Tang Ruan.

Gu Qing also knew the current situation and was fully prepared.

Very soon, it was smoothly completed.

Zhao Chi suddenly noticed that Gu Qing was exceptionally charming at this moment.

Hair in disarray, a single strand hanging by the lips.

Sweat covering forehead and cheeks.

Eyes slightly reddened, the corners of the mouth curved in a smile.

Though not as neat and refined as usual, there was a beauty in the disarray.

Zhao Chi entered the system.

He saw that Gu Qing's Berserk Points this time had surged by 21 — quite a lot. Though not the most ever, it still ranked among the top several.

After resting for quite a while, Gu Qing gave a soft laugh and said, "My lord, today truly left a deep impression on me. It was absolutely exhilarating."

"Exhilarating? Really?"

"Of course it's real."

"Is that so… then that's good."

"You may leave now. Once I convert all the rest, it should be enough to improve the Silk Race's venom genes."

"I can't leave right now. It's too full inside, all of it. I'm afraid if I leave, it'll all come out."

Gu Qing nodded. "Then please wait a moment, my lord. I'll convert it right away."

"Alright."

Gu Qing closed both eyes and concentrated.

Zhao Chi had no idea exactly how Gu Qing performed the conversion.

He simply waited in silence.

Feeling a gentle stirring.

Soon, Gu Qing opened her eyes.

"It's done, my lord. All the conversion is complete. The accumulated improvements for the Silk Race have reached 100 points. You may begin the improvement now."

Zhao Chi was a little surprised. "Conversion done? You converted all of it? Why does it still feel like there's a lot?"

Gu Qing laughed and said, "Don't worry, my lord. I can tell them apart. I didn't waste a single bit. The rest… that's mine."

"So that's how it is. I understand."

Sure enough, Gu Qing was right.

Zhao Chi admired the view for a moment, then got down to business.
