Chapter 2209

~6 min read 1,197 words

Even after obtaining the title "Immortal Hammer," the crafting standard was only lowered to crude, but the finished products were still standard quality.

After all, this time he was making equipment.

Equipment meant for direct combat against enemies.

Every attack would chip away at durability, and if weapons clashed with an enemy's, durability dropped even faster.

And quality directly affected durability.

These pieces of equipment didn't use any special materials, so their durability was quite ordinary, with no bonuses.

If they were too poor, they wouldn't last long before breaking apart.

So these pieces of equipment had to be at least standard quality — this really couldn't be lowered.

But elven bows were a special case.

All elven bows used Gold Steel, a tier-2 special material.

After all, the bonuses elven bows gave to elves were double those of other weapons, making them the most worth investing good materials into.

Gold Steel brought a considerable durability bonus, so theoretically even if crafted crude or even shoddy, they could still be used for a long time.

But the problem was, this was Gold Steel.

Such a fine material, used to craft shoddy weapons?

What a fucking waste.

Moreover, Gold Steel weapons also had higher stat bonuses.

If crafted shoddy, those bonuses would also be greatly diminished.

Taking everything into account, Gold Steel elven bows were also all crafted at minimum to standard quality.

These Gold Steel elven bows were also the most produced, a full 350,000 of them.

They would absolutely multiply the elves' combat power several times over in an instant.

Excellent cost-performance ratio.

【Elven Bow (Standard)】 "Universal" Attack +35% "Elven Exclusive": Attack +250%, Movement Speed +100%, Draw Weight -100%

Elves were fairly good-looking.

At the very least, they fit human aesthetic standards well.

Fair skin, delicate features.

So a large number of lords used elven race — probably close to 20% of the total.

Roughly speaking, among the lords in Horn Cliff Town now, about 1,000 of them used elven race.

On average, each could be allocated 350 elven bows.

Of course, in actual distribution, low tier lords still got fewer — only a dozen or so, at most a few dozen.

Gao Jie lords could be allocated thousands, even over ten thousand.

This was also the reality of the situation.

Besides elven bows, Zhao Chi also crafted 910,000 other weapons.

After all, 80% of the lords weren't of elven race.

Among them, single-handed weapons were used the most, so Zhao Chi correspondingly crafted 500,000 of various single-handed weapons.

Quite a number used spears, so the Moon-Chasing Spear was the most produced among single weapons, with 300,000 of them.

Two-handed weapons were relatively fewer, only 110,000 in total.

Two-handed weapons had relatively fewer users, and crafting them took more time — producing these 110,000 was already quite a lot.

These weapons were all fine iron quality.

Their base stats and durability were also decent.

Though they couldn't compare to ultra-heavy weapons, under normal circumstances they could last 2-3 battles.

For ordinary lords, this was really powerful.

The stats were also eye-catching:

【Moon-Chasing Spear, Phoenix-Cry Blade】 Female-only: Attack +60%, Range +50%

【Swallow-Spin Axe】 Female-only: Attack +60%, Destruction +50%

【Jade Beauty Hammer】 Female-only: Attack +60%, Impact +60%

Besides weapons, there were also shields.

Quite a lot of shields were crafted this time — a full 1,000,000 of them.

More than the total number of melee weapons.

After all, Zhao Chi hadn't crafted any other defensive gear, so these shields had to be made in greater numbers.

【Mysterious Maiden Shield】 Female-only: Spirit Defense +200%, Durability +300%, Damage Reduction +10%

Although they were fine iron quality.

The Mysterious Maiden Shield's stats were very strong — durability directly tripled, lasting at least 6-7 battles in regular combat.

Even when equipped on frontline tank units, lasting 2-3 battles was no problem.

Moreover, the 2x spirit defense bonus and 10% damage reduction bonus made these shields last even longer.

So these shields had to be made in greater numbers.

Even though shields took longer to craft, it was worth it.

As for defensive gear.

Zhao Chi only crafted 200 sets of Mysterious Maiden Armor — a very small number.

And they were all iron quality.

【Mysterious Maiden Armor Set (Iron Single Piece)】 Female-only: Spirit Defense +200%, Durability +300%, Damage Reduction +10%, "Set Bonus": Each additional piece +5% Thorns

After all, the Mystic Maiden Armor is a 5-piece set, and crafting it really takes too much time.

The time it takes to craft one set of Mystic Maiden Armor could already produce 20 weapons.

So Zhao Chi only crafted 200 sets.

Just give them to those female lords to wear.

As for the soldiers, forget it.

There's really no time left.

All these pieces of equipment together amount to over 2.26 million pieces crafted.

A bit less than the fashion items.

But fashion items were always crafted faster to begin with, and quite a few crude and inferior ones were made as well.

Equipment takes longer to craft. Although most didn't use Gao Jie materials, most were made of fine iron, so they're passable.

Crafting has come to a temporary end.

All the fine iron materials in the warehouse were used up, and a large amount of iron ingots and coal were consumed to make fine iron ingots.

Rare materials are also nearly depleted.

Although the Binghe main force and the White Tiger Regiment delivered vast quantities of supplies, consumption was also high, and basically not much is left.

After all, over 4 million fashion items and over 2 million pieces of equipment were made.

This time Zhao Chi even consumed quite a bit of his own stockpile of rare materials.

But it doesn't matter.

In the current situation, this is precisely the time to share a common hatred against the enemy, not the time to fuss over these things.

The Efficiency Guidebook had previously given Zhao Chi over a hundred copies, but they've basically been used up, with only 5 left for future use.

The Master-level Insights were also distributed in batches to all the newly arrived villagers. The tailors and blacksmiths in Zhao Chi's territory now include quite a few at Master and Expert level.

Consider it accelerating the formation of talent.

The most remaining are some props, for example, over 50,000 Work-Speed Talismans are left unused.

There are also a large number of fashion blueprints, which can be used in the future once enough are accumulated.

Over 200 Refugee Talismans are also left, which can continue to be used for 2 more months, allowing 4 branch races to continuously replenish population at double the rate.

The most remaining are rare building materials.

For example, Moon Glow Stone, Golden Sandalwood and the like, with nearly a million units, still quite a substantial quantity.

This can be considered Zhao Chi's hard-earned money.

Zhao Chi doesn't know how much of a combat power boost all this can bring to the White Tiger Regiment.

But it probably won't be less than 20%, right?

Although fashion items and equipment can only be used by female soldiers, as long as they can be equipped, any female soldier's combat power can be increased by at least 5 times.
