Chapter 2536

After all, this Spring Breeze Tower was originally meant for entertainment.

The stage in the middle was naturally used for song-and-dance performances to entertain the crowd.

So the first floor is actually quite spacious, but it doesn't have many rooms.

If one adds another floor, it's equivalent to duplicating a floor and placing it on top of the first, but the new floor would still have a stage and surrounding empty seats.

If it were an entertainment tower open to the public, having more stages would of course be nice.

But Zhao Chi doesn't need that.

After all, he has no need to watch them dance.

If he wants to watch, he'd watch privately in a room.

Moreover, with that time, he might as well pin them down and go at it for real — both sides satisfied, and he can earn Energy Points too.

Isn't that much better?

And watching their expressions change, their soft, lingering voices — far more interesting than dancing.

Then he won't build out the first floor.

All in all.

The largest area and the most rooms are still on the basement level.

But the basement level is underground, with only interior windows — no view of the scenery outside.

Big it may be, but it's quite enclosed.

If it were a business venue, it certainly wouldn't be as good as the above-ground rooms.

Staying inside too long would definitely be uncomfortable.

But the issue is that Zhao Chi is using it as an Illusory Martial Chamber.

Once the female soldiers go in, they all lie down — essentially sleeping — so the external environment doesn't matter at all.

And they all possess the Fearless talent; things like claustrophobia, enclosed spaces — none of it matters, they don't care.

Although ventilation underground isn't great either.

Quite a few people might enter a single room.

But they've undergone genetic modification — every woman's body odor is reduced by 90%, leaving only 10%.

On top of that, they soak in the Carefree Spring every day, so even that 10% of odor is gone.

Zhao Chi is in close contact with them every dawn, and all he smells is their body fragrance.

So.

Even if every room is packed full of female soldiers, no foul air will be produced.

Instead, their body fragrances will gather, becoming extremely rich and sweet.

Truly wonderful.

The basement's disadvantage for other lords becomes an advantage for Zhao Chi.

At the very least, it's no longer a disadvantage.

So what else is there to say?

Of course, choose to add basements across the board.

Activate Move-Flower-Connect-Jade.

Change the basement's consumption points to 1 point.

Then, expand all basements.

【Your expansion is as follows】:

【7. Ground Floor Addition】 ×10

【Confirm?】

Of course, confirm!

In an instant, the entire Phoenix Chant Tower lit up with white radiance.

Especially at the junction between the first floor and the ground, it was blindingly bright.

【You may now carry out expansion on Spring Breeze Tower】

Then…

From a technical standpoint, he could arrange for Fang Li and the others to handle the construction.

But this is a massive project.

The original basement plus 10 expanded basements — this Phoenix Chant Tower has a full 11 underground levels.

Asking Fang Li and the others to build it would really be too much for them.

And to build 11 underground levels, they'd have to dig a giant pit centered on Phoenix Chant Tower.

The workload is staggering.

Just use Quick-Build Talismans directly.

【The current construction scale is quite large, requiring 135 Quick-Build Talismans. Confirm?】

Holy shit!

135 Quick-Build Talismans??

How is that calculated?

When Phoenix Chant Tower was originally built, the number consumed was far less.

Quick-Build Talismans are consumed based on the project's workload.

So… the construction volume of 11 underground levels is indeed enormous, hence the extra consumption?

Zhao Chi doesn't understand.

But he had plenty of money.

He had close to 500 Quick-Build Talismans; 135 of them — use them and use them up.

Activate them directly!

For materials, he also chose the three types: Light Feather Wood, Gathering Spirit Stone, and Nine Springs Ingot.

Phoenix Chant Tower consumed the most wood, of course, and quite a lot of stone too.

And back then, Li Ruanyu had prepared the materials for Zhao Chi according to a normal expansion.

But Zhao Chi had expanded an extra nine floors.

So…

The materials weren't enough.

Even the Nine Springs Ingot, which was used the least, wasn't enough.

Li Ruanyu had already helped Zhao Chi buy extra materials, but she truly couldn't have foreseen something like this happening.

Damn it…

He'd have to go buy more Tier Three materials.

But these are all Tier Three materials — where could he buy them?

The ones inside the White Tiger Regiment might have been bought up quite a bit by Li Ruanyu, so they wouldn't be easy to purchase.

Here at Shu North Town, the Black Tortoise Regiment had previously already swept up a large amount of important resource materials, so they wouldn't be easy to buy either.

He'd head to the mission hall shortly and post a high-value bounty.

Zhao Chi didn't ask for much — he only needed enough to buy 5,000 units of each.

If it was open to all the lords and residents of Shu North Town, it should work, right?

After all, the lords of the White Tiger Regiment could also take this mission; faced with a high-price bounty, they should bring out the materials they'd personally collected and stored.

No choice — for now he could only stop. This was truly an unexpected situation.

Tier Three materials were a must, and Zhao Chi also wanted 20 Improvement Points to upgrade Phoenix Chant Tower.

Looks like he could only wait a bit longer.

No good…

Zhao Chi simply couldn't wait.

Go post the bounty directly.

While he was at it, he'd casually toss the Qiankun Cauldron onto the bounty list as well.

Before going, Zhao Chi called for Qi Yue.

Qi Yue obediently came before Zhao Chi and smiled: "My lord, shall we begin crafting the outfits?"

"Not just yet. Take these Quick-Work Talismans and help me distribute them to Feng Xiu and Ding Dang and the others. Based on tailoring and blacksmithing ability, pick out 500 of the most skilled from each, and distribute them. Give each person 200 to start, then have them practice extensively. I don't demand their output — I only demand that they raise their skills and specializations. Don't fear waste; go ahead and consume all kinds of materials."
