Chapter 2971

Zhao Chi nodded, and the female soldiers and female farmers all withdrew.

Fuyao had grown up, and during her breeding state, she could even be said to be the oldest in age across the entire territory.

She no longer needed others to protect and take care of her; mainly, there was no need to.

When he had just sent Fuyao to ascend, Zhao Chi did not transmit the 5% Eternal Bloodline back, and it remained preserved within his body.

After all, if the bloodline energy within Fuyao reached 100%, it would stop accumulating further.

Leaving some gap would allow her to keep accumulating and recovering, and when what she had inside was no longer enough, it could be transmitted back again.

After coming out, Zhao Chi called Gu Qing and the others to the Soul-Severing Spring at the first moment, and told the matter to Gu Qing and the rest.

They were extremely shocked and astonished.

But at the same time, they all understood that the boost Fuyao could bring was extremely enormous.

This was a qualitative change.

Gu Qing sighed: "I truly don't know what to say. Fuyao is really absurdly strong. She truly lives up to her reputation as the Mother Tree among Mother Trees; she absolutely deserves to be called a Sacred Tree."

Tang Ruan helped Zhao Chi clean the white sticky marks left by Fuyao while saying softly: "Yes, I didn't expect little Fuyao to have this kind of ability, but the main credit still goes to my lord; my lord is even stronger."

Zhuang Ya smiled: "Of course Zhao Chi is stronger, but without Fuyao, Chi cannot either achieve this kind of effect relying on Zhao Chi alone."

Tang Ruan nodded: "Then should we call her Sister Fuyao?"

Su Qin said: "In her breeding state she should be called Sister, but if she changes into her 18-year-old state, we probably don't need to, right? Wouldn't that be a bit inconsistent?"

Gu Qing said: "It's fine, sisters within the family don't need to be too formal; we'll wait for her to wake up and have a proper chat with her."

"Mm."

Su Qin and Tang Ruan nodded together.

Gu Qing said: "Since now everyone can be reborn, we really need to plan this out properly."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Right, calling you here is also to discuss this matter."

Qi Yue pinched Zhao Chi's shoulder and asked: "My lord, I'd like to confirm again — you mean the sisters of the main race can also be reborn into branch races? Like the Moon Race?"

"That's right."

Qi Yue said: "Then I think the ones who should be reborn first are Sister Gu Qing and those artisans. Sister Gu Qing can be promoted to the Royal Race, and she will definitely have a leap-style improvement. And among those artisan sisters, the seamstresses can be reborn as the Moon Race, and the blacksmiths can be reborn as the Warm Race; their work ability and speed will definitely improve greatly!"

Zhao Chi had the same thought.

And it was a thought he had long ago.

The Moon Race has 6 arms and is most suited to serve as seamstresses, but if the Moon Race female soldiers were converted into seamstresses, Zhao Chi's combat power would decrease again.

At least at this current time, combat was still the priority.

Having 6 arms could improve work efficiency by 3 times.

This does not mean that 6 arms is 3 times 2 arms, so work efficiency also improves by 3 times.

That's not how it works.

In reality, when simply stacking the number of arms, if they can be fully coordinated, the overall efficiency becomes higher and higher.

Theoretically, it is actually far higher than 3 times the efficiency.

However, although the Moon Race can indeed freely use 6 arms, their control over their arms is only slightly more than that of ordinary people.

The Moon Race can only normally use three pairs of arms.

Ordinary people are very skilled at using two hands, but if they use two hands to work separately, it becomes very difficult.

For example, drawing a square with one hand and a circle with the other.

Even if there really are a very few people who can do it, they are actually not drawing simultaneously, but rather rapidly switching their brain in a very short time — the brain looks left, looks right, looks left, looks right within 1 second…

So it looks like both hands are drawing at the same time, but in reality both hands are drawing one after the other.

In this case, the drawing is very slow.

If you ask them to draw faster, it will fall apart, so among people who perform this kind of drawing, very few draw quickly.

But there are exceptions.

With extensive practice, both hands form muscle memory, and one can truly draw simultaneously, and draw quickly.

This does exist.

But this is only for that one action that can be performed simultaneously.

Now if you ask them to change — one hand draws a triangle, one hand draws a star — then it becomes completely impossible again, unless they practice extensively once more.

So this is only something they have fixedly practiced out; it is not that they have this ability.

It is not truly simultaneous.

The Moon Race is the same.

Although they have 6 arms, they only have one brain.

So it is difficult to bring out their due strength.

Normally, when the Moon Race does sewing, they can only bring out 2 times the efficiency of ordinary people, which is actually not low.

It's already quite good.

But fortunately, they also possess +600% dynamic vision ability.

As well as the ability to magnify targets by 300%.

Under this genetic ability, their six arms can once again additionally bring out 1 times the utilization rate, reaching 3 times the work efficiency of an ordinary seamstress.

So that 3-times work efficiency was roughly calculated by Zhao Chi after extensive attempts, across multiple points of increase and decrease.

However, this only applies to precise work like sewing.

If it's combat and swinging a blade, then it doesn't matter.

In combat, the Moon Race's 6 arms can attack completely simultaneously.

Even attacking 6 enemies at the same time.

This kind of work is very simple — an ordinary person can use twin blades to attack two people at once, so for the Moon Tribe, attacking six people simultaneously is no problem at all.

Therefore, in combat, the Moon Tribe has extremely strong fighting power.

The Warm Tribe is well-suited to being blacksmiths.

The Warm Tribe has one more gene than the Main Tribe — the "Scorching Body" gene, which can absorb fire.

If the Warm Tribe forges, they can absorb fire on one side while breathing fire onto the iron ingot on the other.

At the same time, the iron ingot also receives heating from the flames in the smelting furnace, which is equivalent to two streams of fire heating it simultaneously. In this way, the Warm Tribe can at least double the speed at which metal ingots are heated.

Of course, this "double" is very rough.

But it doesn't matter.

Because the fire the Warm Tribe breathes out is also no ordinary fire — it is the flame of the Sea of Fire technique, a spiritual technique.

The Sea of Fire spiritual technique is already stronger than ordinary flames to begin with, and on top of that it has been enhanced by Zhao Chi, so its power can increase by 125%.

Under these circumstances, the power of the Sea of Fire technique far surpasses ordinary flames. If ordinary flames are added on top of that, the heating speed of the metal ingot is at least four times the normal speed!

However, forging is not only about heating and cooling — there's also the forging time itself, and during forging the Warm Tribe no longer has such a prominent advantage.

So all in all, having the Warm Tribe serve as blacksmiths can also triple work efficiency.

It's just that they will be rather fuel-hungry.

Specifically, they burn through quite a lot of coal and wood.

But this is no problem at all.

Zhao Chi has plenty of fuel, and if it's not enough he can buy more — let them use as much as they want.

Later, he'll find Yao Feng to ask for some high-heat coal, which can also additionally boost the overall forging efficiency.

Zhuang Ya also agreed with Qi Yue's words.

She nodded and said: "Qi Yue is right. As for the sisters of the Warm Tribe, I can go teach them how to use flames to boost work efficiency. After forging alongside you for so long, I already know how to do it long ago."

Qi Yue smiled and said: "I can also teach the tailor sisters the method of sewing with six arms. I wouldn't dare claim to be professional at making fashion, but when it comes to using six arms, I still have very strong insights."

The two of them cannot compare to those craftsmen in terms of professional skill.

In terms of specialization, they aren't considered top-tier either.

But the two of them fully know how to produce high-quality fashion and equipment.

After all, they have been around Zhao Chi for so long, absorbing everything by osmosis — it's practically as if Zhao Chi led them through it step by step.

So the experience of the two of them is actually higher than that of those veteran masters.

In terms of sewing theory and forging theory, the two of them are second only to Zhao Chi.

But in terms of practice, it's far too difficult.
