Chapter 2065

But now it's different.

A massive crafting session is about to begin, so Zhao Chi needs to go see those female craftsmen.

Although normally they often see each other candidly at the Carefree Spring.

But now things need to be more formal.

Gather them all together for a look.

Soon, the forging captain Ding Dang, and the sewing captain Feng Xiu, arrived at the central square of Penglai Town with their respective subordinates.

Penglai Town has not yet been rebuilt.

The various building plans are not perfect.

The central square is rather small.

But accommodating over a thousand craftsmen is still no problem.

Gu Qing handed the master-level insights to Ding Dang and Feng Xiu.

The two of them then handed them to the forging team leaders and sewing team leaders respectively.

The female team leaders distributed them in sequence.

Zhao Chi cleared his throat.

He had originally wanted to give everyone a proper pep talk, but found that these female craftsmen seemed a little different.

They were all very young women. Although they all worked very hard, due to their age, they normally loved to chat, laugh, and fool around, and were not very serious.

It was a kind of "fearlessness" unique to young people.

Zhao Chi had never imposed overly strict restrictions on them either.

After all, work is different from combat.

Work calls for a certain atmosphere.

Happy work is always more efficient.

But today, these 1,000 Taoyuan female craftsmen were all dead silent.

Only the sound of the team leaders distributing the insights could be heard.

And the female craftsmen's sequential thanks.

"Wow! Master-level insights... thank you, my lord."

"Thank you, my lord!"

"Thank you, my lord, for trusting me and assigning me such a great tool!"

"I will definitely work hard!"

"Me too, I will follow my sisters and work hard, thank you, my lord, for your trust!"

"Mm, I will also work hard and not let down the insights my lord has distributed."

"My lord is really generous, giving out so many... thank you, my lord!"

They knew the value of master-level insights.

After receiving them, they cupped them in both hands and looked at them carefully.

Apart from these thanks, there were no other sounds.

He felt that they...

Why were they just like those well-trained female soldiers?

And every one of them had a very serious expression, completely lacking their usual casual attitude.

"Gu Qing, they... what's going on?"

Gu Qing smiled and said: "I didn't know you were coming to rally everyone in person, so I had already rallied them not long ago. They all know the current situation and will cooperate well with you."

Zhao Chi suddenly realized.

"I see. When did you talk to them?"

"Right after you finished charging me with energy, I came to find them."

"Alright... then I won't say more. Saves me time too. Distribute these Quick-Work Talismans first, there will be more later."

Zhao Chi handed all the 20,000 Quick-Work Talismans he had just obtained to Gu Qing.

He still had 9,000 left in hand.

Earlier, after Zhao Chi struck it rich, he had Su Qin buy them in bulk, at one point buying up all the Quick-Work Talismans at the exchange and driving the price up.

Li Ruanyu had also given him several thousand, and there were still quite a few left.

Moreover, supplies and tools would be delivered from other towns soon, so Quick-Work Talismans would definitely not be lacking.

"Understood, my lord. Then I'll distribute them evenly, 20 per person."

"Mm, no problem."

Soon, the Quick-Work Talismans were handed out by Ding Dang and Feng Xiu to the team leaders below, who then handed them to each female craftsman.

Zhao Chi stood on the high platform in the square, surveying the female craftsmen before him.

Since Gu Qing already rallied them, he didn't need to say much.

Just a couple of reminders would do:

"Gu Qing has already briefed you on the situation, so I won't repeat it.

"Powerful enemies are watching us covetously from outside.

"Our allies are all actively brainstorming plans.

"And we... only need to craft seriously.

"This won't solve the enemy, but it can strengthen our allies.

"There's no need to be too nervous. We have a fallback. You just need to follow Gu Qing's arrangements and work seriously.

"The workload won't be too heavy either—just occasional surprise missions. Overall, it's not much different from usual.

"However, many of you have never crafted high-difficulty equipment or fashion before. We've already issued you Master-level Insights—you can use them right away.

"Once used, you'll have the ability to craft these high-difficulty products. Consult your seniors more often and master independent work as soon as possible.

"That is my only requirement.

"Thank you, everyone."

Ding Dang laughed and said: "Don't worry, my lord, we've already made arrangements. We just taught them for three hours, and they should master it in about 2-3 days, right!?"

"That's right, my lord can rest easy!"

"I can already craft the blade body of the Phoenix Cry Saber."

"I can craft the outer frame of the Mystic Maiden Shield."

"Me too—I can craft the gun-head blank of the Moon-Chasing Spear."

The female blacksmiths all chimed in at once.

Feng Xiu also shouted at this moment: "My lord, it's the same on our end, but the difficulty of Spider Empress Silk really is too high. Our newcomers here might need 7-10 days to slowly master it, but we'll do our best too!"

"I'll also do my best!"

"I… I can knit the toe section of stockings now."

"I can make the buckles for backpacks!"

"I can already craft high-heeled shoe heels independently!"

The female tailors also called out one after another.

Just now it had been perfectly quiet.

Now it was back to that cheerful atmosphere from before.

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "Very good, you'll definitely be fine. Then I'll be counting on you—let's all give it our best!"

He clenched his fist and raised it before him.

"Let's all give it our best!"

"Good luck, my lord!"

"Good luck to everyone!"

The female craftsmen all shouted out.

Zhao Chi nodded: "Everyone hurry and use the Master-level Insights. After using them, quite a few of you should be able to advance. Have your respective squad leaders take you to promote. The rest, dismissed!"

Very quickly, a massive amount of light appeared.

The entire central plaza was a sea of light, brighter than the ultra-bright torches around it.

Now Zhao Chi was delegating authority once again.

Work squad leaders like Ding Dang and Feng Xiu could also be considered high-ranking leaders under Zhao Chi, and they now possessed even greater authority.
