Chapter 2719

"It is completely impossible.

"The Qiankun Ding fragment is the same—if you're just curious, it's better not to try it casually, after all the cost is too great…

"What do you say?"

Zhao Chi nodded.

Zhao Chi actually didn't consider the cost issue.

He could afford to waste gold coins.

The main issue was quantity.

These things were too hard to come by.

Chi cannot either casually try it.

At least this one fragment must definitely be saved for the Xuanü Ruler fragment, to be used for the targeted synthesis of the Xuanü Ruler remnant.

Through Shopkeeper Wanyan's introduction, Zhao Chi also gained a rough understanding.

This Qiankun Ding fragment was indeed quite good.

There were roughly 4 points to note.

1. The greater the quantity of materials synthesized, the higher the success rate.

2. The result of synthesizing a single item is easier to predict—basically it's an advance in tier.

3. The result of synthesizing multiple items cannot be predicted; the randomness is extremely high, the failure rate is extremely high, but a supreme-grade item may also appear—though it's not worth gambling on.

4. Living things cannot be synthesized. Forced synthesis can only produce unidentified chunks of flesh and miscellaneous matter.

"Thank you."

"Mr. Zhao Chi, you're welcome—it's only right."

Zhao Chi continued looking at the list.

The number of divine artifact fragments wasn't large, but it wasn't small either.

Especially the Xuanü Ruler fragments—there were as many as 17, which could already be called a lot.

Adding in the ones purchased earlier, there were now a total of 46 Xuanü Ruler fragments.

He hadn't expected that in such a short time, the raw materials for the Xuanü Ruler remnant were nearly half collected.

Much faster than imagined.

And this was only Shopkeeper Wanyan's 3-day bounty and purchased supplies—if given more time, collecting 100 fragments didn't seem difficult.

Besides Shopkeeper Wanyan's side, Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting were also collecting from the nobles.

But the two of them were currently focused on combat, so they definitely wouldn't collect too many—but however many they could get would be good.

Not bad.

Finally, the blueprints.

He hadn't expected Shopkeeper Wanyan's side to have received the Commander Platform super-improvement manual.

Not long ago Li Ruanyu had just said they were only missing this super-improvement manual, and now it was obtained from Shopkeeper Wanyan's side first.

What a coincidence…

This way, the complete set of blueprints for the Commander Platform was assembled.

And Shopkeeper Wanyan had also purchased the materials together.

Tier Three materials were very rare.

Shopkeeper Wanyan being able to purchase so many this time was probably through various channels.

Among them, the Spirit Gathering Stones plus the previous stockpile totaled over 2,600 units—enough for the Commander Platform's consumption.

The Light Feather Wood would also be consumed somewhat by the Commander Platform, but more of it would be used for crafting the Holy Staff.

Adding in the previous stockpile, there were over 6,500 units in total—absolutely enough for crafting the Holy Staff.

But the carpenters weren't up to it yet.

He could only craft it himself.

Fortunately, the crafting time for wooden products was much faster than metal products, but the requirements for technique and skill were very high.

But for Zhao Chi, this point was completely a piece of cake.

No matter how high the technique and skill, could they be as high as the technique and delicacy used for weaving stockings from Spider Queen Silk?

As long as there were materials, Zhao Chi could familiarize himself a bit more, and it still wouldn't be a problem.

Additionally.

The Spirit Staff blueprint was also purchased.

Zhao Chi looked it over—the price was very expensive, a full 450 gold coins, probably obtained through a bounty at 30 times the quota.

This way the Spirit Staff blueprints were assembled; in a bit he could directly improve them, then craft them together with the Holy Staff.

Not bad.

With the Holy Staff, the Warm Tribe female soldiers also had their dedicated weapons.

Besides this, a set of the Witch's super-improvement manual set had also appeared, but there were no blueprints yet, so it couldn't be crafted.

Just accumulate it bit by bit.

For the Bunny Girl outfit, only a high-heel blueprint was purchased—other blueprints were still missing, so no need to craft it for now.

However, the Ladies' One-Piece Swimsuit's super-improvement manual was purchased.

The swimsuit wasn't a set, but a single piece.

It was now assembled; in a bit it could be improved together.

This batch of supplies was just like that.

The list review was complete—Zhao Chi was very satisfied.

It was truly better than he had expected.

Shopkeeper Wanyan saw Zhao Chi smile and said:

"Mr. Zhao Chi, although this batch of supplies was only gathered over three days, it doesn't seem like long. But we bought up more than half of every market we could purchase from, and the bounties were only most effective in those first few days.

"So… the next batch of supplies probably won't come this quickly, and the quantity is very likely not as large either.

"When that time comes, please don't be disappointed.

"I'm not trying to shirk responsibility either — I just want to explain the situation to you in advance, to avoid your hopes falling through later."

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know about this kind of thing too, it's fine — just do your best to help me buy what you can."

Shopkeeper Wanyan said: "You can rest assured on this point, because we charge you a fee per order, so the sooner and the more supplies we can buy for you, the sooner we can collect our commission. And a big order like yours isn't common — right now, besides me, our entire District 3 branch has been mobilized."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Oh? That's not bad then. Many hands make light work — looking at it this way, the next batch of supplies might not necessarily be less than this one."

Shopkeeper Wanyan shook her head:

"That has nothing to do with having more or fewer people.

"After all, there aren't many supplies left on the market now, and chaos is everywhere — the werewolves' atrocities might spread to the north and west in the next couple of days.

"So right now, all of us just want to buy up everything we can as soon as possible, and deliver it to you as soon as possible, to avoid trouble down the line.

"Otherwise, how could Xu Qinglian and I possibly bear to hand your order over to the branch? We had no choice."

"Later on, the people from our branch will also be contacting and purchasing for you through various channels, so the efficiency will definitely be much lower than buying directly at the exchange this time.

"So even though the number of our staff has increased, what we manage to buy next time is very likely less than this time.

"So… I suggest you still not be too optimistic.

"Of course, we'll all do our best."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Alright, then come with me. I'll give you another 1,000,000 — keep helping me purchase supplies."

"Hehe, alright!"

Zhao Chi brought Shopkeeper Wanyan and her two subordinates to the Experience Fruit warehouse.

The gold coins Shopkeeper Wanyan had delivered last time were still piled in the same spot, completely untouched.

Shopkeeper Wanyan looked at the gleaming gold coins being treated this way and felt an indescribably strange sensation in her heart.

Zhao Chi said: "How should I give you the gold coins? Through the special channel again?"

Shopkeeper Wanyan nodded: "Yes, and the supplies purchased for you will also be delivered to you through the channel — otherwise, the three of us wouldn't dare carry them on us. Where would you like us to put them?"

Zhao Chi casually pointed.

"Just leave the materials outside — I'll send people to sort and store them later. Give the items directly to me. This 1,000,000 gold coins is payment for Wang Chuncheng's goods, just transfer it directly. Also, there's an extra 100 gold coins as a tip for you — take it."

"Wow~ haha, alright~ Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Chi didn't give Shopkeeper Wanyan's subordinates tips separately, but Shopkeeper Wanyan would certainly share some of those 100 gold coins with them — Zhao Chi didn't bother thinking about it.

Soon, the gold coins were handed to Shopkeeper Wanyan, the items appeared in the system space, and the supplies were placed on the open ground outside the warehouse.
