Chapter 2202

【Bai Zhenyu】Besides, I have a premonition that the fashion technology Li Ruanyu made also comes from the werewolves!

【Bai Zhenyu】The werewolves in the south have seized and merged plenty of technology, everyone knows this.

【Bai Zhenyu】And this kind of technology that can break through fashion equipment limits also exists in the south, and it's all proprietary, never shared!

【Bai Zhenyu】But I still can't figure out why the werewolves would teach her the technology, but whatever the enemy wants done is definitely nothing good! We must refuse!

【Bai Zhenyu】So Li Ruanyu didn't dare let the inspection team from the group investigate before, directly turning them away, not even letting them into her territory — doesn't this fully confirm that point?

【Bai Zhenyu】There must be something unspeakable in her territory, perhaps… werewolf craftsmen guiding her right there.

【Bai Zhenyu】Perhaps… these fashion pieces were all made by werewolf craftsmen!!

【Bai Zhenyu】Doesn't everyone find it strange?

【Bai Zhenyu】Li Ruanyu has been providing us with men's fashion all along, for so many years without a single breakthrough, but just recently she suddenly broke through into women's fashion? Very strange, right!

【Bai Zhenyu】Even if she's a master tailor, it still has to follow logic. Even if she really broke through, it would be a breakthrough in men's wear, not women's. And certainly not a breakthrough of this magnitude!

【Bai Zhenyu】The women's fashion she made can no longer be described as a breakthrough — it should be called terrifying. What kind of fashion piece can increase branch attributes by +165%?

【Bai Zhenyu】There's definitely something wrong with this fashion! That's why the werewolves had Li Ruanyu make it for us to use. Everyone, don't equip it for now!

【Bai Zhenyu】Absolutely do not equip it!

【Bai Zhenyu】Perhaps some kind of witchcraft has already been planted on this fashion piece!

【Bai Zhenyu】Perhaps there's plenty of surveillance information on this fashion piece — if we put it on, not one of us will get away!

【Bai Zhenyu】Personally, I do trust Li Ruanyu. After all these years, everyone has seen what she's done with their own eyes.

【Bai Zhenyu】But precisely because of that, we must investigate clearly and restore her innocence!

【Bai Zhenyu】We must make her stop now, investigate the situation first, otherwise we won't feel at ease wearing these fashion pieces either.

【Bai Zhenyu】If it really is a werewolf conspiracy, we'll be wiped out!!

【Bai Zhenyu】I, in my capacity as Vice Captain of the Binghe Corps, guarantee that every word I say is true!

"Your mother's—…"

Zhao Chi clenched both fists tight.

This Bai Zhenyu looks decent and talented on the outside, who would've thought he was this kind of thing…

And besides…

What he said is damn true.

Quite a lot of it really is true.

Mixing malicious speculation in among the truth — that's the hardest kind to tell apart.

Especially malicious speculation built on a factual foundation.

Li Ruanyu really was teleported away by "Race Summon," and that really is a skill belonging to the royal werewolves.

He really wasn't wrong about that.

But how could he actually see through it?

Even if Bai Zhenyu is a state-level lord, without long contact with werewolves, it's very hard to know about this kind of skill.

Too strange.

But this also proves from another angle that he really does have a relationship with the werewolves — a deep one at that.

Otherwise how could he possibly know this is a royal werewolf ability?

And yet he actually used this to sling mud at Li Ruanyu.

Li Ruanyu of course also couldn't let the previous investigation team go into her territory to investigate.

After all, her territory simply wasn't using any remnant of the Supreme Wheel.

So she couldn't even let them in.

This is also fact.

But this matter became Bai Zhenyu's tool to attack Li Ruanyu, and a pretty powerful one at that.

On top of that, his speculation really does hold water.

No matter how strong Li Ruanyu is, she's still only a master-level tailor.

There are plenty of master-level tailors.

But not a single one can break through the limits of improvement. Even with super-improvement, the branch attribute value that can be added is no more than 30%, and even with special materials, it can only be raised to 40%–50%.

It's not that there are no fashion pieces that can raise branch attributes by more than 50%, but they really are rare.

Only the developed central cities in the south have them. Snowfield City, a border city up north, hardly ever sees one.

Let alone fashion pieces with +165% branch attributes.

And there are millions of them!

And they were produced in a short time, by a single lord's territory.

It really is hard to explain.

This gave Bai Zhenyu even more room, using these "reasonable" doubts to drag the werewolves into it.

The southern cities are more developed, and they really did have methods to break through equipment attribute improvement limits long ago.

The werewolves really might have intercepted this kind of technology from the south.

This actually ends up confirming Bai Zhenyu's words.

Li Ruanyu's skill and ability in making men's fashion are pretty much common knowledge.

Nearly half the male lords of the Breaking World Army have worn fashion pieces she made, Zhao Chi included.

But before this she rarely made women's fashion — it was always made by other women's fashion masters.

So Li Ruanyu's large-scale mass production this time really did leave everyone puzzled.

But Li Ruanyu's reputation is right here.

GLOSSARY:

【Zhao Chi, Li Ruanyu, Ruanyu, Binghe, Bai Zhenyu, Poshijun, Xueyuan City, Taiyilun, Royal Werewolves】

She was unwilling to explain in detail, and no one would press her for answers.

After all, such matters are personal secrets and can indeed be kept confidential.

But now...

Li Ruanyu seemed to have no choice but to explain.

Bai Zhenyu was undoubtedly a werewolf spy, so what he had to do was stop Li Ruanyu from continuing production.

Although the werewolves held the advantage, if the Break-the-World Army received the buffs from these costumes, plus the subsequent weapon buffs, their advantage would shrink significantly.

Bai Zhenyu had to find a way.

The costumes had already been distributed; stopping them was no longer possible.

But the weapons had not yet been produced.

If Li Ruanyu could be stopped from continuing weapon production, it would still be better late than never.

However, Li Ruanyu said not a word.

Nor did she seek out Jiang Chen or Guan Zhiyong; instead, she went directly to find Regiment Commander Yao Feng.

Zhao Chi did not know the relationship between her and Yao Feng.

But since Li Ruanyu was the adopted daughter of General Yan Ling, the leader of the Break-the-World Army, she should have deep ties with these people, right?

Going to Yao Feng's side should be safe.

As long as Li Ruanyu had not been captured by Bai Zhenyu or other werewolf spies, she was basically safe.

Moreover, Li Ruanyu had likely just been ambushed by Bai Zhenyu, which put her at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, Zhao Chi had a trump card here, allowing Li Ruanyu to escape danger instantly.

But this also exposed that someone behind Li Ruanyu possessed the ability of "Clan Summoning."

However...

Absolutely no one would suspect Zhao Chi, this "Town-Level Lord."

He was still in the shadows.

He still held the initiative.

Sometimes, playing the role of a cunning schemer really has its benefits.

Someone spoke again in the communication group.

【Jiang Chen - Vice Regiment Commander】 Everyone, please calm down; no one should speak further. Bai Zhenyu, you should also remain silent for now. Before the matter is thoroughly investigated, you are not qualified to draw conclusions at this moment.

【Guan Zhiyong - Grand Captain】 Captain Bai, the material you submitted proves nothing; there are still many suspicious points. Why have you consistently failed to reply to the message I sent you? Please reply to me privately immediately.

【Bai Zhenyu】 I swear on my own honor! This time...

【Bai Zhenyu has been muted!】

He had only just spoken halfway when the system issued a notification that he had been muted.
