Chapter 2069

For example, when you're extremely handsome.

Even if you're a scumbag with outstanding loans, there'll still be plenty of women throwing themselves at you.

Same thing.

If you're extremely rich.

Whether you're handsome or not becomes irrelevant; even if you look like a toad, swans will still flock to you.

"Alright then, Gu Qing, let's reset it your way."

"You're this obedient to me? Hehe."

"I'll send a message to Li Ruanyu. You keep it down a bit."

"Oh, okay."

Gu Qing's other foot slipped in as well, pressing gently downward.

Zhao Chi: "..."

He didn't refuse—after all, it felt good.

Gu Qing: "Hehe."

Zhao Chi 【Li Ruanyu, I'm going to reset my fashion sets. I'll concentrate the attributes together, but I'll lose quite a few very practical attributes—truly a pity. Could you help me collect some more blueprints for these fashion sets? I'll need to make several more styles later】

Li Ruanyu 【Huh? What do you mean? You need blueprints for the same fashion set?】

Zhao Chi 【Right, after I reset the fashion set, won't I be unable to craft the original version anymore? But the original version is still very useful, so I want to run both fashion types in parallel】

Li Ruanyu 【Huh? No need for that, can't you just activate them from the Heavenly Craft Pavilion?】

Zhao Chi 【Heavenly Craft Pavilion? What's that?】

Li Ruanyu 【You don't know the Heavenly Craft Pavilion? You haven't built it yet?... Oh right, you only have a town-level territory. It's fine, weren't you planning to advance Yunmeng Village into a county? Once you reach county-level territory, quite a few new buildings will unlock, and the Heavenly Craft Pavilion is among them】

Zhao Chi 【Really! That's great! Can I activate previous styles from the Heavenly Craft Pavilion?】

Li Ruanyu 【Yes, but it costs tech points. Do you have any skill points? I'll help you find some tech books】

Zhao Chi 【I have some, but of course the more tech books the better】

Li Ruanyu 【Alright, I'll go find Captain Guan right now and transfer some from the warehouse for you. You'll probably need Quick-Build Talismans too, right? After all, once you reach county level, you'll have quite a few medium and large buildings to construct】

Zhao Chi 【I need them, all of them! Thanks for the hard work, wifey】

Li Ruanyu 【Hehe, these are small matters. Remember to double-check Yunmeng Village's population count—don't fall short of the requirements. I have too much on my plate right now and can't keep an eye on it for you. Have Gu Qing help you think over whether there's anything else you've missed】

Zhao Chi 【Don't worry, go ahead with your work】

Li Ruanyu 【Commander Yao Feng's supplies have already arrived, earlier than expected, but there's really a huge amount... I'll head over there in a bit to deliver the items to you first. Dengwoyi Society】

Zhao Chi 【Okay】

Close the system.

Found Gu Qing looking at him with a smile.

But that smile?

"My lord, you and Sister Li Ruanyu really get along well."

"Huh?"

"Nothing."

"No, no, tell me?"

"We've been together this long, and you've always called me by name. You've only been with Sister Li Ruanyu for a few days, yet you're already so affectionate?"

"I thought it was something serious... How many times do you want me to call you that? Go ahead, wifey."

"Huh? Huh! Haha, I was just kidding. What did Sister Li Ruanyu say?"

Zhao Chi forwarded their conversation to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing listened for a moment.

"Wow! So that means we don't need to buy new blueprints for the fashion sets? We can activate them from that Heavenly Craft Pavilion?"

"Yeah, that's what Li Ruanyu said."

"Isn't Sister Li Ruanyu your instructor? Hasn't she taught you this stuff before?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "I only just became a lord this year. I haven't reached the stage of learning county-level knowledge yet. I've learned some theory before, but nothing too specific, so I don't know exactly what new buildings a county-level territory will have."

Gu Qing nodded: "Got it. From now on, have Sister Li Ruanyu teach you more professional knowledge, okay? Don't just spend every day with her... doing that kind of thing."

"Haha, Gu Qing, you're talking about yourself, right? We're the most frequent, and the most."

"Aiya~ fine, fine, I know. Let's talk business."

"Alright, let's talk business."

"We've covered fashion sets, now equipment, right? The Mystic Maiden Ruler shards can also reset equipment, can't they, my lord?"

"That's right."

"Then let's keep looking together."

"Mm, okay."

The two opened the equipment list.

【Zhao Chi's Faction Equipment List】

【Phoenix Cry Blade】 Range +50%, Attack +50%, Attack Speed +5%, Accuracy +5%

【Moon-Chasing Spear】 Range +50%, Attack +50%, Evasion +5%, Accuracy +5%

【Swallow-Spin Axe】 Attack +50%, Destruction +50%, Attack +5%, Attack Speed +5%

【Jade Hammer (Steel)】 Attack +50%, Impact +50%, Attack +5%, Critical +5%

【Elven Bow】 Weight -70%, Range +50%, Accuracy +50%, Attack +25%, "Elven Exclusive": Movement Speed +100%, Draw Weight -100%

【Mystic Maiden Set (6 pieces)】 Spirit Defense +200%, Durability +300%, Damage Reduction +5%, Learning +5%, "Set Bonus": +5% Thorns per additional piece

There are 6 categories and 11 pieces in total.

The individual parts of the Mystic Maiden Armor share the same attributes, differing only slightly in weight.

Among them, the Elven Bow's attributes are calculated based on Adamant material.

The other equipment is all calculated based on Iron material.

Because Zhao Chi had never obtained any rare metal materials before, his equipment had always been Iron-quality Super-Improved grade.

It's just that the female soldiers all use the heaviest type, so every attribute is doubled, becoming three times the original, making it seem very strong.

After all, as long as it's heavy enough, the power naturally goes up.

A big rock can also smash someone to death.

If you have the ability to swing a telephone pole, you can also kill an enemy in one hit.

I wonder how many more supplies can be transported over later.

But there will surely be quite a few rare metal materials.

This time I can improve things like the Phoenix Cry Blade again.

"My lord, the weapons' attributes seem about the same."

Gu Qing shifted her position.

But she still nestled in Zhao Chi's arms.

A strand of fine hair stuck to Zhao Chi's face, very itchy.

Zhao Chi brushed aside the strand: "Yes, they're about the same. With the Mystic Maiden Ruler fragments, we can modify those built-in attributes, otherwise it's a bit messy."

"Mm, it seems the weapons' attributes are relatively easy to decide—either attack range or attack power. Special attacks probably aren't needed, right?"

"Let's set aside special attacks for now and choose between attack range and attack power."

"They're all very useful."

"Mm… indeed. Attack power directly affects combat and is one of the most important combat attributes, but attack range is also good. It lets you land a slash or thrust before the enemy closes in, seizing the advantage first."

"Right, and if paired with the stockings' ultra-high movement speed, melee soldiers can also fight while retreating, keeping the enemy from ever landing a hit."

"Mm, yes. But in large-scale army engagements, you definitely can't fight and skirmish at the same time; formation has to be considered more."

"So change them all to attack?"

"Uh…"

"Actually, I think there's no need to change the weapons. Let's see how many Mystic Maiden Ruler fragments there are later—if there are a lot, we can consider it; if there are few, we won't touch the weapon attributes. The current ones are all good."

"That works too. Besides, axes already have the strongest Destruction attribute, and hammers have the strongest Impact attribute. These two weapons don't increase attack range; they increase special attacks, which is already strength upon strength. Indeed, there's no need to change them."

Gu Qing nodded.

Then she said: "It's just that those built-in attributes really are a bit scattered—only 5%, and with so many kinds, it's hard to remember."

Zhao Chi smiled: "Yes, I used to mix them up all the time at first too. It's only gotten better recently."
