Chapter 2049

Zhao Chi pinched her chin.

"You're my woman, so putting my reputation on you is only reasonable. Just accept those on your husband's behalf with peace of mind. I don't like troublesome things."

Li Ruanyu laughed: "Husband, you say… Since you really don't want to show yourself, then I'll happily accept these on your behalf. Let's go."

She took Zhao Chi's hand.

"Let's go."

The two returned to the meeting room.

This time they went to the large meeting room next door.

It was much more spacious here.

The large wooden table in the middle could seat thirty people, and quite a few vice-captains could sit at its edge.

Plenty of food and drinks had already been set out on the large wooden table.

New food kept being brought over.

This didn't look like a meeting.

It looked more like a group dinner.

The lords had just finished fighting and had all burned a lot of stamina.

Besides, it was already dinner time and everyone was hungry.

Quite a few people were eating heartily.

"Captain, over here." Yu Chan pulled out a chair.

"Zhao Chi, here!" Gongsun Bai also pulled out a chair.

"Thanks." Li Ruanyu sat down, but she clearly had no mind for eating.

"Thanks." Zhao Chi sat down next to Gongsun Bai.

Gongsun Bai handed over a glass of orange juice: "Try this, it's a special orange from Captain Jiang's side, tastes really good."

"Oh, great!"

Zhao Chi also had no appetite for food. He was very curious how Li Ruanyu would actually add time — could there be some special prop?

But after one sip of orange juice, it really felt crisp and refreshing, and seemed to have mint added in.

"It really does taste good."

"Is there a mint flavor?"

"Yeah, there is. Did they crush the mint and put it in?" Zhao Chi looked into the cup, but didn't see any green mint leaf fragments.

"Hehe, no, this is a mint orange, it's Captain Jiang's specialty."

"Oh~ got it."

Everyone ate quickly for a while.

Jiang Chen said: "Everyone's back, so let's eat and discuss at the same time — time is limited after all."

With good food to accompany them, the lords relaxed quite a bit again.

Everyone discussed for a while more.

But still, there was no practical, workable plan.

Jiang Chen noticed Li Ruanyu hadn't spoken, so he asked specifically: "Ruanyu, I see you're distracted — do you have any new ideas? Don't keep it bottled up, speak up so we can all discuss it together."

Li Ruanyu gave a slight smile:

"Everyone just discussed for a long time.

"Actually, the overall line of thinking has always been just two.

"One is to weaken the werewolves, the other is to strengthen ourselves.

"That's right, isn't it?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Of course it's right, we just said all that. Everyone started discussing from these two angles."

Li Ruanyu said:

"At a moment like this, everyone needs to pull together.

"So I hope everyone can help me gather large quantities of rare materials.

"Including tailoring and forging types — wood, iron ingots, cloth, all of it.

"The more the better."

Guan Zhiyong was a bit surprised: "Rare materials? Have us all help you gather them? What are you going to do?"

Lu Yibing was also a little taken aback: "Are you going to make supplies? But with only these 100 hours left, how much can you make?"

Jiang Chen said: "Yeah, don't keep us in suspense, Ruanyu. If you have something to say, say it. Rare materials can indeed be allocated to you, but what do you need so many for?"

Li Ruanyu said:

"I'm going to make a large batch of equipment and fashion.

"Like the fashion I sent out to everyone before — I'll keep producing them nonstop.

"Besides that, equipment like this can also be distributed to everyone.

"Although the variety is limited, it should all be useful to everyone, right?

"This is the equipment information, already synced to your systems. Take a look first."

Li Ruanyu sent out the data for the Phoenix Cry Blade, Moon-Chasing Spear, Mystic Maiden Armor, and other equipment.

This was done with Zhao Chi's approval.

After all, fashion only provides a supporting effect, while weapons and equipment are what boost combat attributes.

Neither can be missing.

Too bad, it can only be used by women.

Most lords use male soldiers, since male strength stats tend to be higher and they're more suited for combat.

But there is still a small portion of female soldiers.

Added together, the number isn't small either.

The female humanoid-race soldiers across all the lords add up to at least a few hundred thousand.

If these several hundred thousand female soldiers could be equipped…

Their combat power would absolutely skyrocket.

But besides these female-exclusive gear, there's also the Elven Bow.

The Elven Bow has a wider activation range.

It's not restricted by gender, or even by race — anyone can use it.

It's just that the boost for elves is stronger and greater.

It's still best used by elves.

If more of these bows could be crafted, that would actually be quite nice.

And since quite a few lords use elves as their race, it should be very useful.

The scene fell silent once again.

Only the clinking of tableware could be heard.

And the careful sounds of chewing and swallowing.

Those swallows… weren't just swallowing food, but also swallowing saliva.

Immediately after, a gasp of amazement rang out.

"Holy shit!"

That soul-deep curse perfectly expressed everyone's current feelings.

Following that exclamation, more and more people began to sigh in amazement.

"Captain Li, this… what's going on? Your forging ability has advanced to Master level now too?"

"No, even if Li Ruanyu's forging advanced to Master level, it shouldn't produce attributes like this!"

"Female-exclusive? Why female-exclusive? What a shame, otherwise I could use this Jade Beauty Hammer too."

"No, didn't any of you see the Mystic Maiden Armor? A full set! Combined with the shield's thorns, the damage reflection stacks up to 25%, plus 30% damage reduction, and 200% spirit defense? What kind of godly gear is this?"

"Amazing, this is the first time I've ever felt so good about being a woman — Captain Li, you made all of these?"

"This is way too outrageous — these are all branch attributes, they should only give about a 10% boost, so how is the boost as high as 50%, 100%?"

"Sister Li Ruanyu, you broke through?"

"That shouldn't be it, right? Isn't Captain Li specialized in tailoring? How could she break through in forging?"

The scene was filled with exclamations of amazement.
