Chapter 307: Super High Speed

Midnight, 12 o'clock.

Zhao Chi collapsed exhaustedly onto the bed.

All 18 pairs of silk stockings have been improved.

Today's single-day output was more than the previous two days combined.

Except for one pair of high-elasticity type given to Gu Qing to boost movement speed, the remaining 17 pairs will all be sold.

That's 34 gold coins.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chi's body didn't seem quite so exhausted anymore.

He pushed himself up and left.

This day really was a matter of life and death.

But for the sake of efficiency, he endured it!

In 4 more days, a massive wave of magical beasts will arrive.

This is both pressure and opportunity.

Capturing prisoners is possible, and one can obtain experience as well.

Zhao Chi did not resist.

Soon returning to the cabin, he placed the silk stockings in the cabinet inside, then returned to the territory.

The territory was filled with laughter and cheerful voices.

The female craftsmen in every workshop were in good spirits, chatting happily as they worked.

The efficiency of all kinds of work remained consistently good.

But unfortunately, over these past two days the base mood value has been dropping a little each day.

Following this pattern, by the time the magical beast diversion arrives, the high mood bonus brought by resurrection will have been completely used up.

After that, their work efficiency will gradually return to normal.

However, the 50% mood bonus from the Carefree Spring, as well as the extra-long working hours, will not change.

Just as Zhao Chi returned to the territory, Gu Qing came up to him.

"My lord, you don't look well. You've had it rough, haven't you? Please rest for a bit."

Zhao Chi shook his head: "No need. How are things in the territory?"

Gu Qing said: "Don't worry, everything in the territory is fine. Everyone is very happy, and the work hasn't been delayed either. They've been working from 6 in the morning until now, and they'll go rest at 4 in the morning."

Zhao Chi looked around: "No one complaining, right? This work schedule really is a bit long."

Gu Qing smiled: "Not at all. It's just that everyone really loves going to rest in the Carefree Spring. We've already moved the dining spot outside the spring, so they can eat while soaking."

There are 24 hours in a day. They spend 2 hours sleeping, leaving 20 hours of work.

The remaining 2 hours are for eating and taking care of physiological needs.

Zhao Chi sighed: "We're a bit pressed for time right now. Once things settle down a bit later on, we can relax some. When that time comes, we'll reduce the working hours."

Gu Qing nodded: "Don't worry, my lord. Everyone can understand. This is all for the sake of our shared home. The more effort each person puts in, the more the territory can progress, and the better life can be."

Zhao Chi said with feeling: "Yes, let's work hard together."

Gu Qing smiled: "Let's work hard."

"Let's go, Gu Qing. We're heading to the black market again today."

"Are you really not going to rest? Is your body still okay?"

"No need. I'll rest inside you—it's more comfortable than the bed."

Gu Qing smiled gently: "Really? That's wonderful, then. Too bad I can't feel anything."

"You don't feel anything special?"

"Mm, no."

It's probably because he had entered Gu Qing's body, so feeling surrounded by her body gave him that soft, warm sensation.

If Gu Qing were the one to enter his body, then she would be the one who could feel it.

"Alright, Gu Qing, put on your clothes. Let's go."

"Yes, my lord."

Gu Qing once again put on yesterday's set of leather armor, carrying two iron knives. These had already been taxed, so today they could be taken out for free.

Tang Ruan came running over, drenched in sweat.

"My lord, you're back?"

"Mm. How's the training going?"

Tang Ruan panted and smiled: "Everyone leveled up once, and those newcomers leveled up twice. Everyone's movements are getting more and more practiced."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Good. Then hurry and rest."

Tang Ruan shook her head: "I came to say goodbye to you, my lord."

"Goodbye?"

"Yes, I haven't seen you for a whole day, so I came to say goodbye."

Gu Qing laughed: "Missing him after just one day?"

Tang Ruan was a little embarrassed, but still nodded in admission: "Mm, yes."

Zhao Chi said: "Train hard these next few days. After a while, I'll take you out with me too."

Tang Ruan was very happy: "Mm, I'm really looking forward to it."

Gu Qing already finished dressing.

"My lord, come in."

"Alright."

Strange light flowed and shifted.

Zhao Chi vanished from the spot, leaving only his clothes behind.

Gu Qing reached down to pick them up, and in the next instant, the clothes and shoes all disappeared.

This was Zhao Chi controlling Gu Qing, stowing them away into the system space, just in case.

But Zhao Chi felt something was not quite right.
