Chapter 2526

And the defense isn't bad either.

Although they can all resurrect, resurrection still takes time.

Being able to hold out longer on the battlefield is what lets you win the harder fights.

But now that Li Ruanyu is in his arms, it wouldn't hurt to ask her opinion while he's at it.

As it turned out, Li Ruanyu's opinion was the same as Zhao Chi's—she also felt that increasing Constitution was the most suitable choice.

Then there's nothing more to say.

Choose 【1, Constitution】

【Taoyuan Human race's current base Constitution attribute is 6 points. This enhancement is the first enhancement, with a 100% success rate. Confirm?】

Confirm!

【Congratulations! Enhancement successful!】

【Taoyuan Human race's base Constitution attribute has been raised to 7 points】

Acceptable.

Those women now each had an extraordinary Constitution, 1 point stronger than an ordinary beastfolk, reaching the level of a strong beastfolk.

When the Silk Race and Jade Race were established, the attribute they added was also Constitution.

So the base Constitution of the women of these two sub-races is 8 points!

Even harder to kill.

And after Constitution increases, the maximum stamina also increases. They can fight continuously for longer, and the effect of the Carefree Spring can also be more effective.

Quite good.

"All done?"

Li Ruanyu gently stroked Zhao Chi's ear.

"Mm."

"Any other questions?"

"Yes. I obtained 1 Taiyi Wheel Shard from the mission hall, but the effect… really can't compare to the Taiyi Wheel Remnant. I know this divine artifact shard was opened from a golden treasure chest, so how was the remnant obtained? Also from a treasure chest?"

Li Ruanyu got up.

Sat on Zhao Chi.

"Remnants are very hard to obtain from treasure chests—not to say it's absolutely impossible…but at least no one around me has ever seen one, including the regiment commander. However, what can be confirmed is that after the monthly report ends, they can be obtained by lottery from the S+ tier prize pool."

After Li Ruanyu sat up, the black stockings on her legs were stretched even thinner.

Zhao Chi placed both hands on them. The warmth of Li Ruanyu's thighs transferred into his palms, and combined with the silky-smooth texture of the stockings and her moist, lustrous skin, his hands felt nothing but soft and smooth.

The feel was absolutely superb.

Stroking as he spoke, Zhao Chi asked, "Then how did Commander Yao get her remnant? Was it also from the lottery?"

"No. Don't stroke too lightly, it's ticklish. The commander's was synthesized."

Zhao Chi's hands grew heavier, stroking and squeezing as he asked, "It can be synthesized? How?"

"Use 100 Taiyi Wheel Shards, plus 1 Qiankun Cauldron Shard, and you can synthesize a Taiyi Wheel Remnant. But there's a risk of failure."

"Huh?"

Hearing this news, Zhao Chi couldn't sit still and sat up at once.

"Eek~" Li Ruanyu's body tipped backward. She quickly wrapped both arms around Zhao Chi's neck to steady herself.

Zhao Chi asked, "It needs a full 100 Taiyi Wheel Shards!?"

That quantity was way too damn much.

Zhao Chi knew exactly how difficult it was to collect these divine artifact shards—one could say that even money couldn't buy them.

Even items like the Quick-Work Talisman could go out of stock, let alone divine artifact shards.

Gathering 100 shards was extremely difficult!

From the current outlook, only the Mystic Maiden Ruler Shards were obtained in slightly larger numbers; all other shards were very scarce.

Actually, not necessarily.

It might be that, relatively speaking, Mystic Maiden Ruler Shards weren't that useful to most lords, so lords were more willing to sell them.

The other shards, lords were simply less willing to sell.

But even so, 100 shards were indeed very hard to obtain.

"Right~" Li Ruanyu twisted left and right, adjusting her sitting posture.

Zhao Chi felt his left leg go warm and soft, then his right leg go warm and soft, and finally both legs were warm and soft.

"It needs 100 shards to synthesize 1 remnant? That's way too much consumption!"

Li Ruanyu nodded: "Yes. At the time, all the Taiyi Wheel Shards within the entire World-Breaking Army were bought up by the commander, and she also bought a lot from outside, only then could she synthesize 1."

Zhao Chi frowned: "But…synthesizing 1 remnant from 100 shards doesn't seem worth it."

Li Ruanyu smiled: "Not worth it? Did you not think it through carefully? Don't forget this was the commander's decision—if it weren't worth it, how could she possibly synthesize it? Think again. If you still can't figure it out, I'll help you analyze it."

Isn't that right?

In other words, it's very worth it?

The Taiyi Wheel Remnant's effect was to make all territories' time flow become 100 times the original within 1 day. Equivalent to rapidly developing for 100 days within 1 day.

The Taiyi Wheel Shard's effect was to make a single territory's time flow become 3 times the original within 1 day. Equivalent to rapidly developing for 3 days within 1 day.

If you do the math.

Wouldn't 100 Taiyi Wheel Shards allow a territory's time flow to rapidly develop for 300 days within 1 day?

Oh!

No! No!

The effects of the Taiyi Wheel fragments do not stack...

After accelerating for one day, the effect can be extended so that the second day also becomes a 3x time flow, rather than becoming 300x flow within a single day.

So 100 Taiyi Wheel fragments can only let one territory develop rapidly for 300 days within 100 days.

This is an essential difference.

Beyond development.

The Taiyi Wheel's effect also works in combat.

If the territory is invaded and combat begins, the Taiyi Wheel's effect does not disappear, only pauses.

As long as it doesn't grant the effect to additional people, the Taiyi Wheel's effect can still be paused for a short time.

Once combat erupts, if you have Taiyi Wheel fragments, after the first battle you will have more time to recover than the opponent.

If you can stall for a full day, you can recover 2 days more than the opponent.

If you can only stall for 1 hour, that's still equivalent to 3 hours of recovery time.

This is of course a great advantage.

So this is a strategic-grade item.
