Chapter 2524

Whether the enemy blockades the territory or instantly kills them, they can all contact Tang Ruan and the others.

Then Tang Ruan and the others can immediately pull them back.

Hmm...

Or... send the message to Zhao Chi's Gentle Hometown group chat.

No matter who sees it, they can pull those two back at the first moment.

To avoid failure due to special circumstances.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chi immediately pulled Shangguan Ting into the Gentle Hometown group.

But she didn't say anything.

She should really be busy.

As for Su Qin and the other women, they can all resurrect, so it doesn't matter if they don't have these two kinds of shards.

The three who cannot resurrect — Zhao Chi, Li Ruanyu, and Shangguan Ting — all have a layer of assurance now.

Can feel a bit more at ease.

Of course.

If Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting also fall into that chaotic space where even the system can't open, then no matter what shards they have, it's useless — they'd still die.

But this situation is too extreme.

The probability isn't high.

Then there are the 8 blueprints.

These blueprints are very perfect.

Very perfectly avoiding a whole set of situations...

Right now there are many blueprints that have two pieces but are still missing one.

In this situation, they're really a bit useless.

After all, if you make them... there's very little room for improvement.

And they're destined to be phased out later, so making them would be a waste.

Plus Zhao Chi has a lot of things going on right now, his schedule is completely full, and he doesn't have time to make these fashion items that are destined to be phased out.

Forget it then.

Wait until all three pieces are collected before making them.

There's still one most important item left to look at.

That's the Tai Yi Wheel shard.

This is still the first time Zhao Chi has obtained this kind of shard.

Last time he obtained a Tai Yi Wheel remnant from Yao Feng, and the effect was truly astonishing.

But the shard bought this time is much smaller.

It looks like an ordinary piece of brass, palm-sized, finger-thick, looking completely unremarkable.

But such a small thing can provide Zhao Chi with infinite possibilities.

【Tai Yi Wheel Shard】 After use, can accelerate the passage of time for a single target's territory at a rate of 3 times the original, lasting 1 day.

Uh...

A bit... weak...

Zhao Chi isn't very satisfied with this effect.

After all, compared to the Tai Yi Wheel remnant, the effect is simply worlds apart.

The remnant can accelerate all territories by 100 times, while this shard can only accelerate one territory by 3 times.

If you add in the 1 day of time that was originally going to be consumed, it actually only gives 2 extra days.

Plus the Tai Yi Wheel shard is the most expensive among these divine artifact shards, so Zhao Chi really feels a bit disappointed.

But he quickly adjusted himself.

This was a bias in his perception.

If he had never used the Tai Yi Wheel remnant, and looked at the Tai Yi Wheel shard from the perspective of obtaining a brand new item, this item is actually quite good.

It can accelerate by 3 times, giving 2 extra days, which can actually do a lot of things.

Especially during wartime.

After finishing a battle with the enemy, if you have this shard, it's equivalent to having 2 more days than the enemy to rest and recuperate, to rest and repair equipment.

This is a huge advantage.

Especially for a great lord, even if only one territory can be accelerated, it can still recover vitality.

This item is actually a strategic item, not just for production.

If a production-type lord uses this item, they'll most likely lose money.

Restore the mindset...

This shard is actually very strong.

Accept it!

Accept this effect!

Just as he returned to the territory, Li Ruanyu happened to contact Zhao Chi.

Li Ruanyu 【Zhao Chi, where are you? I didn't see you at the temporary trading point, have you already left?】

Zhao Chi 【Yes, I just got back from the mission hall. Do you have time?】

Li Ruanyu 【I have a little time, but I have to leave in the afternoon. But I'll definitely come over in the evening, wait for me】

Zhao Chi 【Okay, have you eaten? You can come to me and get some flatbread】

Li Ruanyu: "Hehe, while you were away I already went to get some. It was really delicious. Enough said, I'm coming to find you. Where are you? Penglai Town?"

Zhao Chi: "Taoyuan Town, but we can meet up at Penglai Town."

Li Ruanyu: "Alright, on my way."

Zhao Chi also teleported over.

Soon, the elegant and charming Li Ruanyu appeared.

She sauntered over, swaying her hips.

"Just now… you've already taken in Shangguan Ting?"

That was her very first question.

"Mm."

Zhao Chi nodded and answered honestly.

"Alright…" Li Ruanyu let out a soft sigh, seeming a little wistful.

Then she said:

"For her, and for you, this is probably a good thing.

"Just now, several lords from the Phantom Squadron got into a violent clash with lords from the Garrison North Corps. It was a huge scene.

"The good thing is, we're in the right.

"Judging by Shangguan Ting's old temper, since we're in the right, she would definitely have thrown a huge fit.

"But according to Captain Gu Zhan, she handled things very calmly this time, very maturely, with no other incidents at all.

"Although they're still investigating the specifics, Shangguan Ting's behavior was completely different from before—she was smiling the whole time.

"That made Captain Gu Zhan very nervous, worried this was a sign of Shangguan Ting being extremely angry, so he came to ask me about it just now.

"After all… the two of us have been rivals for years, so I ended up being the one who knows her best…

"I guessed right away it had to do with you.

"Looks like she's genuinely happy."

Zhao Chi suddenly understood.

No wonder Shangguan Ting had rushed off just now—several lords from the Phantom Squadron had clashed with others.

As their squadron captain, she really did have to step in.

Zhao Chi was also a bit speechless.

What on earth had Shangguan Ting been like before?

One smile from her, and Gu Zhan actually had this kind of thought?

Li Ruanyu added: "Still, Shangguan Ting is only like this today because she's in a good mood. Once things settle down over time, she might go back to her old self—after all, that's just her nature. Don't be too surprised later on."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Understood…"
