Chapter 48

This Gu Qing...

Zhao Chi sighed lightly as he went out and entered the tailor shop again to continue the improvements.

He had been busy all day.

He was indeed a bit exhausted.

Zhao Chi swallowed a primary energy pill, and a strong medicinal taste filled his mouth.

It was both bitter and sweet, with a strong grassy smell.

The taste wasn't good, but the effect was good.

Before long, he felt his energy becoming abundant.

It was like taking a nap.

Checking his status, his energy value had increased by 40 points.

Zhao Chi immediately took another one.

Because his body had a 5% resistance to energy pills, the second one only restored 38 points of energy.

But it was worth it; he felt very refreshed at this moment, as if he had had a wonderful sleep.

With sufficient energy, the quality of his crafting would also increase.

He worked for 12 hours straight.

With 3 pairs of improved stockings placed to the side, Zhao Chi shook his tired body.

Energy pills could only make the mind refreshed.

But they could not restore the body.

Sleep was still necessary.

Energy pills could extend working hours, but they could not replace sleep.

It was already past 5 AM the next day.

He estimated he could hold out until 12 PM; if it went on too long, his body would be too exhausted, which would lead to a decrease in crafting efficiency.

Just as he stretched, he was surprised to find that the 5 female tailors, including Feng Xiu, were still by his side.

They were all busy making leather armor.

They were also refreshed, but their bodies were somewhat tired.

"Feng Xiu, you haven't slept at all?"

Feng Xiu nodded and said, "My lord, you are busy, how could we sleep? Besides, the energy pills you gave us are very useful; none of us are sleepy, and we have plenty of energy."

Zhao Chi said, "Thank you for your hard work. After this period, I will definitely give you a good vacation."

Feng Xiu smiled, "It's okay, thank you for your concern, my lord."

Just as she finished speaking, a sound of shouting came.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

No way? Even the female soldiers had been training all night?

Energy pills couldn't replenish physical strength.

Zhao Chi hurried out.

He saw that the female soldiers were indeed practicing, but each one was refreshed and didn't feel tired at all.

Zhao Chi walked over in surprise.

Gu Qing called a halt to the practice, "Morning training ends here. Everyone, take a rest, and gather here after breakfast."

"Yes!" came the crisp voices.

Gu Qing walked over with a gentle smile, "Are you finished, my lord?"

Zhao Chi asked the question in his heart, "What's going on with you all? Did you train all night?"

Gu Qing laughed, "How could that be? That would tire out these little beauties of yours. If enemies invaded, they wouldn't have the physical strength to fight."

"Then why do they look like they aren't tired at all?"

"They just woke up, why would they be tired? They were exhausted after practicing until 10 PM last night. In that state, even taking energy pills wouldn't help their bodies, so I let them take a bath and go to sleep first."

"So that's how it is. You did the right thing."

"Tang Ruan wanted to help you last night, but I stopped her. After all, she trained very hard, so she needed to sleep early to replenish her physical strength."

Zhao Chi nodded as he listened.

He was becoming more and more satisfied with Gu Qing.

He felt that everything she did was in line with his wishes.

"Gu Qing, how do you seem to know my thoughts? Everything is so in line with my wishes."

Gu Qing said gently, "I am 6 years older than you. You are like a little brother in front of me, so your thoughts are easy to guess."

"Ah?"

"I'm just joking. I'm just doing things according to my own ideas. If it really fits your wishes, then I'm very happy. It seems we are really a good match."

When chatting with Gu Qing, time always felt like it passed very quickly.

As they chatted, bumps began to bulge from the ground one after another.

"The new sisters are here."

Gu Qing took a step back and shouted with all her might, "Tang Ruan, you can prepare the food, they are here!"

Tang Ruan poked her head out from the lord's room.

She also shouted, "Got it, Sister Gu!"

The two of them cooperated very well.

Soon, new female villagers emerged from the ground one by one. Zhao Chi looked at their faces.

Women with 6 points of appearance were already considered beauties.

He had never thought about it before, but it turned out there were so many types of beautiful faces.

Besides Gu Qing, who was extremely charming and delicate, and subtracting Tang Ruan, who was gentle and pretty, there were actually so many other types.

After the new female villagers shyly saluted Zhao Chi, they followed Gu Qing to the river to bathe.

At this time, yesterday's summary was also sent to the system.

【Yesterday's Work Summary】

【Construction】Defense Tower x1

【Forging】Iron Spear x5

【Carpentry】Wooden Spear x40, Wooden Shield x20, Wooden Bowl and Spoon x50

【Sewing】Cloth Clothing and Pants x12, Cloth Shoes x10, Leather Armor x5

Fang Li's construction team built a defense tower yesterday.

Purely wooden.

Using 4 long and straight pieces of wood for support, a wooden platform was built on top, surrounded by wooden railings.

It was 5 meters high in total, with a very small wooden ladder on the side to climb up.

It could accommodate 5 people on top.

This was just a very basic small defense tower, mainly used for sentry and observation.

Ding Dang's forging team made 5 iron spears. 1 was standard quality, and 4 were rough quality.

Then the iron ingots were exhausted.

Because there were no iron ingots, they couldn't produce, so they went everywhere to look for iron ore.

Finally, 100 meters to the south, they found a small iron mine. The quality of the ore was quite good, but the content was a bit low.

But it was definitely enough to deal with the initial stage.

Ding Dang and the other female blacksmiths didn't hesitate and started working on the spot, building a mine shaft.

Although their profession didn't match, they could still build it.

It was just that the construction efficiency was lower.

Anyway, they were idle.

Today, Fang Li and the others could take over the construction of the mine shaft and start forging iron spears again.

Li Zhu's carpentry team worked at full capacity yesterday; there was no shortage of wood, and they kept producing at full load.

Now all female soldiers had enough wooden spears and wooden shields to train and consume at will.
