Chapter 1892: Rapid Development (15)

This time, he would formally send her a batch as well.

Let her get a good look at her man's strength.

Besides, from the look of it, the female heroes and female soldiers in her territory were not few either.

Li Ruanyu's soldiers were indeed mainly male, accounting for roughly 80%.

But the problem was her soldier count was very large—a full 60,000.

Even if only 20% were female soldiers, that was still a full 15,000, which was a lot.

They would definitely need fashion.

However, with such a large number, Zhao Chi certainly couldn't make just one set for each of them.

But making them for those high-tier elite units like female Holy Knights, female Berserkers, female Crusaders, and so on was still no problem.

But… that was still quite a few.

Then he wouldn't overthink it—just focus his attention and get to work.

The task was still quite heavy; he hoped there wouldn't be any battles recently.

The pressure was now on Qiyue's side.

Qiyue 【This isn't pressure at all? This is giving me a chance to be with you, my lord. I'm really enjoying it.】

Zhao Chi 【Why do you talk like Gu Qing now? All Gu-like?】

Qiyue 【These are all my true feelings. Sister Gu Qing cares about you deeply, and I care about you deeply too. Our feelings are the same.】

Zhao Chi 【Sorry, I didn't…】

Qiyue 【What are you apologizing for? I've heard everything in your heart. You have me in your heart, and I'm so happy. Time is tight—shall we get started?】

Zhao Chi 【Alright, then let's do our best.】

Qiyue 【Go for it, my lord.】

Qiyue threw herself into the crafting with an exceptionally high mood, wholeheartedly devoted.

At 6 a. m. five days later, this round of crafting was finally finished.

Zhao Chi was about to vomit blood.

It really was too tedious.

Luckily, having Qiyue by his side, chatting with her constantly, kept him from truly going crazy.

And every day in the early hours, there were a few hours of tender time, spent on a few women's bodies, which did restore some motivation to Zhao Chi.

This time, crafting continued for 37 crafting cycles, taking four and a half days.

But the results could be called quite bountiful.

Everything went smoothly these past few days.

There were no combat missions outside; the Heavenly King Army didn't come to counterattack, and the werewolves were quite calm as well.

Although this calm felt a bit off, it truly did create a peaceful stretch of production time for Zhao Chi.

This round of crafting consumed a total of 1,600 Swift-Work Talismans, of which Zhao Chi and Qiyue used over 200; the rest were all consumed by the female craftsmen.

Zhao Chi now had over ten thousand Swift-Work Talismans—he was no longer the same as before.

He wasn't afraid of consumption.

This time, over ten thousand All-Terrain Overload Express Transport Vehicles were crafted.

All of Zhao Chi's Golden Sandalwood was completely used up. Without Li Ruanyu's craftsmen and material investment, Zhao Chi truly couldn't have made this many.

1,500 large vehicles were produced.

Zhao Chi's side kept 300; combined with the 200 made previously, there were 500 in total.

That very first batch was nearly ready for scrap, not worth repairing—just use them until they're scrapped.

Give Su Qin 100; the remaining 1,100 go to Li Ruanyu.

It wasn't that Zhao Chi favored one over the other; mainly, Li Ruanyu provided a large number of finished vehicles and a large amount of rare materials, and her territory was vast with great demand, so of course she got the most.

Besides, Su Qin was only a town-level lord, with relatively little transport demand.

Her combat strength wasn't as strong as Zhao Chi's either, so each haul of spoils would be much less, and she wouldn't need too many large carts for transport, nor did she have as much grain as Zhao Chi needing to be hauled out and sold.

So giving her 100 large carts is more than enough, with room to spare.

This already counts as quite a lot of favoritism.

This kind of large wooden cart is quite sturdy.

Li Ruanyu should set aside a portion for the Jade Merchant Caravan.

A normal large wooden cart reduces movement speed by -45% and terrain adaptability by -45%.

The maximum load is only 5 tons.

For a merchant caravan, that's very unfriendly, but there's no choice — they can only move forward at this slower pace.

But the large wooden carts Zhao Chi makes not only don't reduce terrain adaptability and movement speed, they actually increase both by 5% — an absolute qualitative leap.

The maximum load is also as high as 15 tons.

For a merchant caravan, it's absolutely an extremely useful large cart.

What originally took 3 days to reach Dark Night City now only takes 1.5 days.

With faster movement speed, all kinds of unexpected situations will be fewer.

The chance of encountering external combat will also be lower.

Moreover, when bandits see a merchant caravan moving at such high speed, they'll instinctively feel this caravan is very strong, and be very cautious, even avoiding combat.

The benefits span multiple dimensions.

3,000 medium wooden carts.

Likewise, give Li Ruanyu the most at 2,000, Zhao Chi keeps 700, Su Qin gets 300.

Medium carts have an extremely wide range of uses.

They can be used in the merchant caravan, in the territory, everywhere.

Plus they move faster and can carry 3 tons.

They're the most universally applicable wooden cart model.

Giving Su Qin 300 is absolutely enough for her to use.

2,000 for Li Ruanyu might be enough for now too; if she still needs more, they can be made later.

8,000 small wooden carts.

Still give Li Ruanyu the most at 6,000, Zhao Chi keeps 1,500, give Su Qin 500.

Small wooden carts are quite agile.

Even Su Qin's female elves can push them along zipping whoosh-whoosh.
