Chapter 389

Then use it up immediately.

Let the Experience Fruit ripen sooner so everyone can eat it and raise their professional skills.

The two farm plots within the territory have all been fully cultivated, and the seeds have all been planted.

The person in charge here is the farmers' team leader, Gu Yan.

Gu Yan saw Zhao Chi and gave him a slight nod of acknowledgment.

Zhao Chi, meanwhile, noticed that apart from her, those Flower Demons had also gathered here.

These Flower Demons all knew their job was to help the farmers handle the miscellaneous work in the fields.

For example, weeding and catching insects.

Gu Yan smiled at Zhao Chi: "My lord, these little Flower Demons are quite enthusiastic. Today they helped clear out all the small stones from the entire farm."

"Oh? Then they deserve some praise."

The nearby group of Flower Demons all showed smiling faces, yet made no sound of laughter.

Like eerie cloth dolls.

Zhao Chi waved his hand: "Alright, you all stop picking up stones for now. First, get out of the farm. I'm going to use an item to accelerate plant growth, so don't step on anything."

Those Flower Demons obediently stood at the outer edge of the farm, not daring to enter again.

Zhao Chi activated the "Rapid Growth Talisman" and selected the farm ahead as the target.

In an instant, the Rapid Growth Talisman emitted light, all of which shot into the soil.

Then... that was all.

Zhao Chi continued and clicked the second one.

Still, light shot into the soil of the adjacent farm, and then there was nothing else.

Zhao Chi said to Gu Yan: "Our wheat and Experience Fruit will be ripe by tomorrow, and then we can harvest them. Wait until they sprout before entering the farm to work, so you don't step on the growing seedlings."

Gu Yan exclaimed in amazement: "Ripe by tomorrow? Won't that give us a lot of seeds? We need to hurry and cultivate new farm plots. My lord, how many plots will you assign us?"

Zhao Chi pointed toward the east.

"Feel free to cultivate the land to the east however you like. I won't set a required number of farm plots—just plant as many as you can manage. Mainly plant wheat, and plant a moderate amount of Experience Fruit."

Gu Yan nodded: "Understood, my lord. We'll plan out the new farm area and start cultivating right away."

Zhao Chi said: "Good. If you don't have enough hands, come tell me, or tell Gu Qing and the others—either way, they'll assign people to you."

Gu Yan smiled: "How could we possibly not have enough hands? There are 200 diligent Flower Demons here. My lord, let me manage them?"

Zhao Chi smiled: "Sure. I didn't expect you to be managing more people than me now."

Gu Yan waved her hand: "Not at all. I'm just managing them on your behalf, my lord."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Alright, you all keep up the good work."

Returning from the farm, Zhao Chi arrived at the training ground.

Tang Ruan was training, drenched in sweat.

Upon seeing Zhao Chi, she immediately asked: "My lord, shall we go craft?"

"Yes. Let's take a bath first. I'll go too."

Tang Ruan wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Hehe, alright."

While soaking in the hot spring, various buffs are slowly replenished into the body.

Overall, it takes about 10 minutes.

Zhao Chi soaked in the hot spring, lay on Tang Ruan's lap, and opened the system.

Among the items bought back this time, there were still two blueprints unused.

Namely, the "Women's Shirt Blueprint" and the "Women's Shirt Improvement Manual."

Fortunately, these two appeared as a pair.

This time at the exchange, Zhao Chi also saw other blueprints and improvement manuals.

But unfortunately, none of them appeared as a pair.

Zhao Chi had over 300 gold coins this time. Although not a small amount, it still wasn't enough to shop freely at the exchange.

He could still only purchase those with higher priority.

For other fashion blueprints, either there was only the fashion blueprint without the improvement manual, or only the improvement manual without the fashion blueprint.

For Zhao Chi, both were indispensable.

Fortunately, he still found this pair.

And even better, the main material for the women's shirt could also be silk.

This meant he could likewise use the silk produced by Gu Qing to craft it, and it should also receive the bonuses from the special material.

Zhao Chi immediately clicked to use it.

【Congratulations, your territory already has mastered the "Women's Shirt" fashion crafting technique】

Although it's a shirt, it is still a fashion item.

【Fashion】 Women's Shirt

【Attribute】 Professional Skill +5

【Description】 A type of women's work fashion that can boost certain professional skills, with broad versatility.

That's really not bad.

This fashion item doesn't restrict the profession.

That means all job types can use it.

And it adds 5 points to professional skill, which is equivalent to half a year of full-time work experience.

Those oil-refining workers' success rates are sure to rise now.

Besides these production professions, combat professions also seem to be able to be improved.

For example, the militia's default professional skill is the shield technique, while heroes like Gu Qing and Tang Ruan — are they directly given hero stats?

Not confirmed yet; I'll test it out in a bit.

Very soon, the bath was finished.

"My lord, your clothes are already dirty. Let me go fetch you a new set, and I'll wash them for you in a bit."

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "No need, just go straight inside you."

"Mm, that works too."

Zhao Chi didn't even need to wipe his body.

He went straight into Tang Ruan's body.

Tang Ruan, meanwhile, obediently wiped dry every corner of her body.

Then put on her clothes.

Zhao Chi 【Ready, Tang Ruan?】

Tang Ruan 【Mm, let's go】

The next second, they arrived at the Great World's workshop.

Just as he was about to start crafting, he discovered that the rare material this shirt required was cat-tail grass powder, no longer the not-return grass juice.

Li Ruanyu had taught this — basically every type of fashion item requires at least one different kind of rare material.

So, should he make a trip to the black market now?

Too much trouble.

Checking the time, it was 5 a. m.

For some unknown reason, a drowsy, thoroughly annoyed face appeared in Zhao Chi's mind.

Fifth elder brother Zhao Jing.

He was a professional tailor — his household would definitely have this kind of rare material.

Buying 1-2 portions was enough anyway; mainly Zhao Chi wanted to see this fashion item's specific effects, as well as its improved effects.

If it was good, next time he could purchase in bulk at the black market.

No sooner said than done.

Hold on a moment…

He had to wait over 10 minutes to separate from Tang Ruan's body.

Zhao Chi took advantage of the moment to soak the large basin of silk that Gu Qing had just produced, then mixed in the de-stick solution.

In an hour it would be ready to use.
