Chapter 2553: Development and Construction (6)

Tang Ruan has changed a lot.

I remember when she first arrived, she was a shy little woman, nervous even when speaking to Zhao Chi; now she's much livelier, often blurting out all sorts of bold, daring words.

It's completely inconsistent with the state of a 19-year-old girl.

……Perhaps it is consistent.

But Zhao Chi likes both of her states.

At this moment.

A message arrives from Li Ruanyu.

Li Ruanyu 【Zhao Chi, Qiyue's identity has been processed. Like Gu Qing and Tang Ruan, she is officially your private vassal and has unrestricted access to the Great World.】

Zhao Chi 【Received, thank you, sister.】

Li Ruanyu 【Thank me for what? Don't be formal, but I won't be able to get there until later—there's a commendation meeting at 10 a. m. tomorrow, and we need to discuss some matters together. I'll probably arrive at your place past midnight.】

Zhao Chi 【Understood, I'll be waiting for you anytime.】

Li Ruanyu 【Hmm, I noticed Shangguan Ting is fidgety and distracted too—she's probably thinking of you. I never imagined I'd end up serving the same man as her…】

Zhao Chi 【Hmm…】

Li Ruanyu 【Sigh, life is so dramatic. Let's not talk about it anymore. Next issue—see you soon~】

Zhao Chi 【See you soon.】

Although Li Ruanyu sent a message, Shangguan Ting didn't send a single one.

What's going on?

But Li Ruanyu said she's been fidgety and distracted the whole time?

Could it be her wound hurts, so she can't sit still?

She could take medicine or use a skill to recover.

But if she recovers now, she'll restore that layer too.

Then she'd have to go through it all again.

And wait again for recovery.

Shangguan Ting probably knows this, so she can only wait silently.

Interesting.

Forget it.

First, work.

Since the materials are gathered…

Let's quickly complete the expansion and improvement of Fengyin Tower.

Once again, Zhao Chi "herded" all the female soldiers in the Illusory Martial Chamber out, completely naked.

The female soldiers gathered around, waiting for Zhao Chi to expand.

Zhao Chi pulled out a stack of Rapid-Build Talismans.

【Current structure scale is large. Requires consumption of 135 Rapid-Build Talismans. Confirm?】

No problem.

Consume!

Finally, the materials are sufficient this time.

After consuming each unit of material, only a few hundred units remain.

It's not enough for constructing medium or large structures—only enough for small ones.

The glow of the Rapid-Build Talismans enveloped the materials, melting them into a cloud of light that drifted above Fengyin Tower.

The surrounding darkness was completely dispelled, as if giant daylight lamps had been installed in the sky.

The female soldiers all looked up, faces alight with excitement, as if watching a fireworks display.

Soon, a rain of light descended.

Excited screams erupted from the female soldiers.

Some even jumped up.

One doesn't know whether to say they lack experience and insight, or are simply naive.

But Zhao Chi still loved hearing their laughter.

The rain of light seeped into Fengyin Tower, gradually shifting downward.

The entire bottom of Fengyin Tower glowed brightly.

The ground began to tremble slightly.

Like a mild earthquake.

Could it also produce a flood of tree roots?

This trembling suddenly reminded Zhao Chi of the scene where the roots of the Eternal Tree erupted.

Not long after, the trembling ceased.
