Chapter 1985

The Breaking World Army still has hidden territory.

But the hidden city has no formation arrays.

Wanting to go in and hide isn't realistic either—after all, there are so many lords, and a transfer on that scale would be like broadcasting the location to the werewolves.

So, fighting is the only option.

Just as he was thinking, Gu Qing sent a message: 【My lord, Li Ruanyu's sister sent over a "Long-Term Truce Talisman"—shall I bring it to you?】

Zhao Chi: 【No need, we'll talk about it later. I'll hurry up and craft first.】

According to Yao Feng's estimate, the werewolves still have 30 minutes before reaching Horn Cliff Town.

So he can still use 3 Quick-Craft Talismans.

But crafting so seriously right now is very draining.

Also, he has to consider the upcoming battle and can't exhaust himself too much—at most 2 more uses.

The remaining 10 minutes will be for rest.

So far, 1,000 short skirts have been crafted—Su Qin has 50, Zhao Chi's side has 150, and 800 were given to Li Ruanyu, who should have distributed quite a few of hers as well.

Next, there are two choices.

One is to keep crafting short skirts; the other is to craft elven bows.

No one in Zhao Chi's faction uses bows, so he hasn't considered too heavy.

But bows are a common weapon—plenty of lords and heroes use them.

Since he's now considering giving them to other lords… why not make them?

Let's do it!

Now is the time to unite against a common enemy.

The people in this world who fear death the most are not ordinary folk, not those of low status at the bottom.

It's the rich, the powerful, and the happy.

Zhao Chi now almost fits all three.

Tens of thousands of gold coins in hand.

His wife is a squad leader and deputy town mayor.

Beautiful women by his side every night—both happiness and… other kinds of bliss.

And his future potential is boundless.

He absolutely cannot die here.

Nor does he want his territory to become a wandering territory.

And he definitely can't be caught by the werewolves.

Continuing to craft short skirts has limited returns now, so he'll craft elven bows to strengthen his allies as much as possible.

Earlier, Zhao Chi had offered to craft a Swallow-Spin Axe for Li Ruanyu.

However, Li Ruanyu's axe was clearly better.

Both its material and attributes were superior, and it also had powerful enchantments.

So Zhao Chi didn't make one.

But an elven bow should be useful to her.

It would at least be a significant help to Su Qin—even just for Su Qin's sake, it's worth making.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chi immediately sent a message: 【Li Ruanyu, do you have any rare-metal materials? Give me 500 units.】

Weapons take longer to craft than fashion items.

Fortunately, he didn't need to craft the heaviest type—just the standard model. Standard weapons take much less time, so he should be able to make quite a few.

Li Ruanyu: 【Sure!】

Zhao Chi: 【Gu Qing, when Li Ruanyu's side sends the supplies, transport them to the armory right away. Call Zhuang Ya to the armory now too.】

Gu Qing: 【Received!】

Zhao Chi: 【Let's go, Qi Yue. I'll head into Zhuang Ya's place in a bit—you get some rest first.】

Qi Yue: 【Yes, my lord.】

Zhao Chi: 【Bring some silk thread over—it'll work for bowstrings.】

Qi Yue: 【Okay.】

A bow consists of the bow body and the bowstring.

The bowstring can use Gu Qing's Spider Queen Silk.

Spider Queen Silk is a very high-grade material, adding 30 improvement points.

Even if it's not the main material, it should still boost things somewhat.

Most importantly, Spider Queen Silk is extremely tough and full of elasticity.

As a bowstring, it would definitely surpass many other materials.

Qi Yue's six arms each carried a large basket of silk thread as she rushed toward the armory.

Zhao Chi, meanwhile, activated the blueprints.

【Elven Bow Blueprint】

【Elven Bow Improvement Manual】

【Elven Bow Super Improvement Manual】

Zhao Chi noticed at this point that these three blueprints were different from ordinary ones.

They differed from blueprints like the Moon-Chasing Spear and Swallow-Spin Axe.

They seemed a bit more exquisite.

But it wasn't as ornate as the goddess's sleepwear from before.

It seemed to fall somewhere between the two.

There was no time to admire it now—Zhao Chi activated everything at once.

Light scattered outward.

It was the first time Zhao Chi felt the light was flying too slowly.

Soon, a system prompt arrived:

【Congratulations, your territory already mastered the "Elven Bow" crafting technique】

The improvement page also opened at the same time.

Zhao Chi didn't even look at it and closed it straight away.

Arrived at the armory.

Song Yun had already delivered the raw materials, and Zhuang Ya was waiting at the workbench for Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi didn't waste any time and teleported over immediately.

"Alright, Qiyue, go rest for a while and recover your body as soon as you can."

Qiyue smiled and said: "It's fine, my lord, just a little dizziness—I'll recover in a bit. You and Sister Zhuang Ya keep at it."

Zhuang Ya nodded at her.

At this moment, Song Yun also used a small wooden cart to pile all the materials inside.

"My lord, it's all been delivered—one thousand metal ingots in total."

"One thousand ingots?"

"Yes." Song Yun pointed to the side: "Based on the different materials, they've been split into two portions."

Zhao Chi looked carefully and indeed there were a great many.

Moreover, these two portions were also two colors—one was pitch-black, the other was bright silver.

Li Ruanyu gave an extra half again.

Zhao Chi immediately picked up one of each.

【Dark Iron Ingot】 【Adamant Ingot】

The Dark Iron Ingot was extremely heavy in hand, far exceeding ordinary iron.

Roughly the same weight as a steel ingot.

Pitch-black all over.

Like a square, rectangular block of coal.

Of course, the Dark Iron Ingot was metal—both heavy and ice-cold.

The other Adamant Ingot, on the other hand, was very bright.
