Chapter 2998: Metamorphosis (27)

Zhao Chi's Nine Springs Ore was idle for now, so it might as well be given to Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting to use first.

They were all his women anyway; the stronger they were, the better it was for Zhao Chi.

But the awkward part was, although the 300,000 units of Nine Springs Ore allotted to the two of them was theoretically not enough, neither had used theirs up yet.

The main issue was insufficient production capacity.

Their two craftsmen were also only at a very basic level in their specialization with Nine Springs Ingots.

So although they still needed several million units of Nine Springs Ore to be satisfied, they also needed time.

On top of that, the two of them also had their own super-improved weapons and armor — though far inferior to what Zhao Chi had on hand, they were at least much better than ordinary gear.

So the problem their craftsmen faced was the same as Zhao Chi's.

If they crafted refined-steel equipment, their craftsmen could produce high-quality super-improved gear.

If they used Tier-1 Dark Iron Ingots to craft, their craftsmen could also complete it fairly well.

But if they used these Tier-3 Nine Springs Ingots to craft, they could only produce inferior equipment, and the success rate wasn't even high.

All things considered, the two of them were also going all-out to replace their gear with Tier-1 materials at a high-quality rate, and weren't trying hard to crack the crafting of Tier-3 Nine Springs Ingots.

That was the right call.

Then forget it.

Zhao Chi kept all of his Nine Springs Ore for himself.

But Zhao Chi didn't plan to craft equipment from Nine Springs Ore.

First, finish making the steel Elven Bow, then worry about other things.

As always, the question of whether one had something had to be solved first, before considering how good it was.

"Zhuang Ya, then let's begin."

"Mm, come on in."

Zhao Chi concentrated his focus to control Zhuang Ya, going all-out on the crafting.
