Chapter 2064

Although there are 100 days of crafting time, that time really isn't long.

After all, the amount of fashion and equipment to be made is enormous.

With so many soldiers, it definitely can't all be finished.

Since it can't be finished, then improve efficiency as much as possible.

An efficiency guidebook is essential.

Besides that, Zhao Chi still needs some helpers.

Li Ruanyu should know that Zhao Chi doesn't trust other people's craftsmen, so she asked for so many insights.

When the time comes, further raising the professional ability of the Taoyuan female craftsmen, letting them directly craft semi-finished product fashion and semi-finished product equipment, can also greatly shorten Zhao Chi's workload.

Really not bad.

But Zhao Chi is still a bit surprised.

Didn't expect the Poshi Army side to really be so generous, not giving it bit by bit hesitantly, but giving it all at once.

Rather quite decisive too.

Very good.

This has refreshed Zhao Chi's understanding.

Next are the blueprints.

The first is a cape blueprint.

This was given to Li Ruanyu by Bai Zhenyu during the meeting; it still needs a super improvement book.

There are also two improvement books, one for earrings and one for skin lotion.

Earrings are understandable.

But what is this skin lotion?

This seems like a fire-oil-like item? Applied to the human body? Just don't know what specific effect it has.

Wait and see.

After obtaining the blueprint later, I'll know.

Refugee talismans... 163 of them?

Not a small amount either.

These are all products used for exchange at the Military Supply Office, now all given to Zhao Chi.

This is very useful.

With these, an additional 1,630 women of all Taoyuan races can be accumulated — a very good item.

Finally, the Speed-Craft talismans.

Zhao Chi's old friend.

The quantity... 20,541?

Holy shit...

Is this really the rhythm of working oneself to death?

Although Zhao Chi is temporarily unsure how many Speed-Craft talismans he can use, these 20,000-plus are definitely too many; he absolutely can't use them all himself.

But it doesn't matter.

These don't necessarily have to be used by Zhao Chi; they can also be given to the blacksmiths and tailors.

Let them help Zhao Chi produce semi-finished products faster.

Works!

So many supplies, let alone using them, just looking at them took this long.

Too many!

"My lord, why are you smiling like that? How many items did Sister Ruanyu give you?"

Gu Qing looked at Zhao Chi with a light laugh.

Zhao Chi immediately synced the information over.

"Take a look yourself."

Gu Qing curiously looked at the list.

"Wow~ so many?"

Gu Qing's eyes widened, also very surprised.

"Get it now?"

"I get it... and this time various rare materials have also been shipped in, several hundred thousand units; the storerooms simply can't hold them all, I've already cleared out many warehouses that held basic materials."

"Several hundred thousand units?"

"Mm, yes, looks like this time they're really going to burn their boats."

"Burn their... boats? You know this phrase too?"

Zhao Chi stared at Gu Qing in surprise.

Gu Qing nodded.

"Of course I know, it's an idiom, my lord. You think I don't know any history at all? Why ask that?"

"History? Where does this phrase come from?"

"It's from when the Beastman King fought, breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats, determined to fight the enemy to the death, so this phrase was passed down."

"The Beastman King, huh..."

"My lord, what's wrong with you exactly?"

Gu Qing gently stroked Zhao Chi's cheek, staring at him in puzzlement.

"It's nothing…"

"Really?"

"Really, it's nothing." Zhao Chi put on a smile.

Gu Qing naturally didn't believe it, but Zhao Chi already said so, so she stopped pressing.

She changed the subject: "The lords of the World-Breaking Army really do trust my lord. Such a massive amount of supplies, and so many tools — all of them willing to send them over in advance. I was genuinely a little surprised."

"They're not trusting me."

Zhao Chi shook his head: "They're trusting Li Ruanyu. These tools and supplies are for Li Ruanyu too. If it were me… there would probably be doubts everywhere — they'd need me to prove it to them first before they'd hand anything over."

"I see." Gu Qing nodded: "It seems Sister Li Ruanyu really is trusted by everyone."

"After all, her reputation is very strong in the Heavenly River Main Force, and even throughout the entire White Tiger Regiment. Add to that her usual way of doing things… she really is reliable."

"Mm, I haven't spent much time with Sister Li Ruanyu, but from how everyone sent over these supplies without the slightest hesitation, you can tell her character. My lord, you've truly gained a good woman this time."

Zhao Chi laughed: "Not just this time. From the very beginning, I was lucky enough to gain a good woman."

"From the very beginning?"

Gu Qing's delicate brows lifted slightly: "Are you talking about me?"

Zhao Chi was of course talking about her, but she was asking despite knowing the answer, wanting Zhao Chi to say it clearly.

"Yes, I'm talking about you."

"Hehe, actually Tang Ruan and Su Qin are both pretty good too."

"Yes, they're both very good."

"My lord's taste is also very good."

"Haha, enough about me. Let's get to business first. Now that we have so many tools, let's use them right away. After dawn there'll be another batch of supplies, and then we'll have to start working."

"Mm, understood."

"Take these Grandmaster-level Insights, help me distribute them, and have everyone use them to improve immediately."

"Alright, there are so many."

Two thick stacks of Grandmaster-level Insights were transmitted to Gu Qing.

Zhao Chi asked: "We have that many blacksmiths and tailors in our Taoyuan, right? Anyone who hasn't used a Grandmaster-level Insight — if there are any, use them all, don't hold any back."

"Mm, there are. You wanted to cultivate your own tailor team and blacksmith team earlier, so quite a few changed classes. It's just a pity you never had time to write Insights afterward."

"Yeah, back then I was still thinking I'd write a few more, but in the end I never had the time again… It's fine now. Getting so many for free saves me a lot of time."

"I'll distribute them right now."

"I'll go with you."

"Hehe, alright."

This sort of thing was fine for Gu Qing to handle alone.
