Chapter 2097

So this one isn't bad either.

Should pick it.

Next is moisture-proofing.

Including defense against ambient humidity and the dampness of the plum rain season.

This one is actually very important.

After all, humidity is one of the key factors in preserving food.

Too bad.

Limited improvement points.

Compared to the previous few, the moisture-proofing effect is still a bit weak.

Then forget it.

Last is ventilation and fire prevention.

Both are decent.

Ventilation is also a factor in preserving food—of course it's good to have, but still there's no way around it; with too few improvement points, I can only give it up.

Fire prevention—Zhao Chi really does want to add it.

Flame has nothing to do with preserving food, but it has everything to do with whether the food still exists.

If a fire breaks out, the entire granary is done for.

In a certain sense, fire prevention is more important than all the others.

But the problem is… which one to replace?

They're all hard to replace.

Forget it then.

Fire prevention is indeed important, but… there's Zhuang Ya.

She can directly absorb fire.

Any flame behaves obediently like a grandson in front of her.

And the other women of Taoyuan also carry the fire creature gene, so they're not afraid of fire at all.

Rescue operations are extremely efficient.

Then let's leave it at that.

Fire prevention won't be added.

Improve the other three.

【Your improvements are as follows】:

【1, Shelf Life +50%】 ×10

【2, Freshness +50%】 ×10

【3, Pest Prevention +50%】 ×10

【Confirm?】

Confirm!

Light shot into the granary before his eyes.

Now… it still needs to be improved before it takes effect.

Doesn't matter, use a Quick-Build Talisman.

Another few dozen seconds passed, and a brand-new granary appeared.

【Description】 A granary built from rare construction materials and super-improved, greatly extending the food's shelf life and freshness, with outstanding pest prevention capability!

Not bad.

The granary isn't considered a rare building.

Everyone can obtain it.

But one with this kind of effect—of course, only Zhao Chi alone has it.

Right now it doesn't really help in combat, and no obvious effect can be seen, but once the wheat in Zhao Chi's territory has been harvested a few more times, the effect will show.

At this moment, the body piloting technique effect expired, and Zhao Chi appeared beside her.

Qi Yue's eyes drifted as she looked Zhao Chi over, lips pressed together in a smile.

Zhao Chi said, "I originally planned to craft it together with you, but all the time got spent on other things—wasted a body piloting technique spiritual technique for nothing…"

Qi Yue comforted him, "It's fine, the body piloting technique only costs 10 points of spiritual power, not much."

"Yeah, I'm heading to Chaoge Town. Wait for me a moment, I'll be back shortly."

"Mm, okay~"

Since the new granary has already been developed, go inform Fang Li right away.

This time Li Ruanyu sent 289 Quick-Build Talismans, and previously Su Qin had cumulatively purchased 193.

Zhao Chi has a total of 482.

Even if they're used on the new buildings of the county-level territory, that many won't be needed.

Zhao Chi took out 182 and gave them to Fang Li, keeping the remaining 300 for his own use whenever needed.

Fang Li's construction team was at Chaoge Town, in the middle of a massive, bustling effort to build a large prison and large dormitories.

Now that there were more slaves, Fang Li and her people were even busier with work.

All kinds of construction had to keep pace.

If the environment was too poor and the slaves slept on the ground every day, their obedience would be very hard to raise, and might even drop.

Fortunately, meals were still filling every time now, so the slaves' moods were all quite good.

Fang Li was drenched in sweat.

Although she was the construction captain and was very familiar with Zhao Chi, she still personally did the work every single time.

Seeing Zhao Chi, she wiped the sweat off her face in surprise.

"Oh, my lord? What brings you here? Inspecting the work?"

"No, this is for you."

She was very surprised to see the Quick-Build Talismans Zhao Chi handed her.

"Huh? Why is my lord giving me so many Quick-Build Talismans? Do you think our work pace is too slow?"

Zhao Chi shook his head.

"How could that be? I know your construction team hasn't taken a single day off from start to finish."

"Then you…?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "Precisely because you're all so busy, I came to help. Have you seen our new building?"

Fang Li nodded: "Is it the granary? I saw it. Are you in a hurry to build it? If you want it built as soon as possible, we can adjust the timeline."

"No need, take this first." Zhao Chi handed over the Quick-Build Talismans once more: "Just build according to your own arrangements. These Quick-Build Talismans are yours to use freely — you can use them to build the prison or the dormitories, or to build warehouses or any other buildings, it's all fine."

"All of this just for me?"

Fang Li took them and put them in her shoulder bag.

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "It's about the same whether you use them or I use them, but you're on the front line and know best which building needs to be constructed first, so I won't interfere."

Fang Li said with a touch of gratitude: "Thank you for your trust, my lord. I see the latest granary is super-improved grade, so I'll use them to build the granary. But how should I choose the materials for this granary? Use ordinary ones or rare ones?"

Previously, when Li Ruanyu helped Zhao Chi request supplies, she hadn't set any limits.

So among the rare materials delivered, there were also large quantities of rare stone and timber, all over ten thousand units.

Of course, these materials wouldn't be used on fashion and equipment.

So…

This was entirely a benefit Li Ruanyu had helped Zhao Chi secure.

Zhao Chi could use them freely.

He said to Fang Li: "Use rare materials for the entire granary, that's fine."

"Understood. I'll confirm the best location to build the granary shortly, then start construction."
