Chapter 797

Taoyuan Village's various facilities are all very complete — it's a qualified small-to-medium village, but it has already stopped developing.

Penglai Village is being built with all haste.

From now on, Super Experience Fruits, Super Wheat, and Feathered Cattle will all be planted and raised in Penglai Village.

Although his original intention was not to develop Penglai Village into an agricultural village, this is still the most stable approach.

That said, Taoyuan Village could be built into an industrial village.

All kinds of iron smelting, forging, and oil production can be carried out here.

But an industrial village is destined to have a terrible environment.

He still needs to find ways to improve the working environment, so as to keep the female craftsmen in good spirits and maintain their consistently high work efficiency.

From these two battles, Zhao Chi obtained a total of 28 Territory Configuration Points.

He could set up 2 plots of fertile land, or 2 new plots of land.

But Zhao Chi did not use them for now.

After all, although fertile land is good, his wheat and Experience Fruit yields are already extremely high, so fertile land isn't necessary.

And new plots aren't needed for now either — once the population increases later, switching then won't be too late.

In case new exchangeable options appear in the future, he might also need more Territory Configuration Points.

For now, save them up — when better options appear later, he can choose them directly.

Finally, there are still 2 Silver Chests remaining.

And a Water Condensation Art skill book.

Use them all.

The two Silver Chests opened in succession, their light fading away.

【You have obtained items】

【Steel Ingot ×20】

【High-grade hygiene products ×186】

Tch.

Truly terrible.

Zhao Chi was not satisfied.

Although Steel Ingots are decent — they're a high-grade material — the quantity is far too small.

From Iron Ingots one can develop Refined Iron Ingots, and from Refined Iron Ingots one can research Steel Ingots.

It can be considered a material that spans across a tier of technology.

The material itself is good — it can be used to make steel weapons and armor.

But it requires at least an Intermediate Blacksmith to craft.

Ding Dang and the others are all Apprentice Blacksmiths; forcing them to craft would only waste materials.

He'll wait for Zhao Chi to craft them himself.

Although these 20 Steel Ingots are only materials, their price is indeed not cheap — buying them would cost around 4 gold coins.

It's not too much of a loss, I suppose.

But those hygiene products… that's far too much of a loss.

Although there appear to be a full 186 pieces, they're all things like toilet paper and soap.

It's just that these hygiene products come in very high-end packaging.

The toilet paper even has patterns printed on it, with a soft yet resilient texture.

The soap is also very fine-textured.

If Xiliel had had this soap when she bathed earlier, she might have been satisfied.

But Zhao Chi was not satisfied.

In Zhao Chi's view, high-grade hygiene products were completely unnecessary.

At least not necessary right now.

And it wasted a Silver Chest.

But Gu Qing was slightly pleased.

She stared at the high-grade hygiene products on the shore, constantly examining and flipping through them.

"If you like them, they're yours."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Of course I can't enjoy them alone — I have to share them with everyone… but this one we really might not be able to use."

Gu Qing was holding a sanitary napkin in her hand.

Zhao Chi suddenly froze.

Not to mention others, but both Gu Qing and Tang Ruan have been here since the very first day the territory was established.

Up to today, it's been a full 30 days.

Yet they can accompany Zhao Chi every night.

They haven't had a single menstrual period.

In the Carefree Spring, all the women come to bathe several times a day, but Zhao Chi has never seen red spreading between anyone's legs.

Now his sense of smell is extremely keen, yet he has never smelled the scent of blood between the legs of the women beside him — at most a faint briny sea scent.

What's going on?

Zhao Chi hurriedly asked Gu Qing the reason.

Gu Qing said in surprise, "My lord, didn't you transfer the data in this area for us into elven data? We're just like elves — we simply don't menstruate at all."

Zhao Chi already couldn't remember clearly.

When setting up the race, all of the Taoyuan women's stats had been transferred according to the best among the several races.

But there were too many projects; Zhao Chi couldn't possibly remember them all.

"Then… can you get pregnant?"

"Of course we can." Gu Qing smiled and said, "My lord, do you want a baby?"

"Not for now. Let's wait until our strength is a bit stronger and more stable before we consider it."

Gu Qing nodded: "Mm, if you want one just tell me, I can give birth for you anytime."

That's not bad.

These women are spared the weak, bleeding period every month.

They can stay at full condition all year round.

When they go on long expeditions later, it won't be too much trouble either.

Most importantly, they don't carry the smell of blood, so they won't attract magical beasts.

Very good.

Last is the Water Condensation Art skill book.

"Gu Qing, learn this one."

"A skill book? For me?" Gu Qing was pleasantly surprised.

"Of course, try it out once you've learned it."

"Okay!"

【Your subordinate Gu Qing's sincerity level already increased to 100,000 — willing to die without hesitation】

She leveled up too.

A tiny skill book can also increase loyalty by 1 point?

Perhaps Gu Qing herself also very much wanted to level up, just lacking an opportunity.

If a woman has you in her heart, perhaps it really only takes a very small effort to gain超额回报.

Gu Qing let go of Zhao Chi.

She shook the water off her hands, took the skill book and used it.

A faint water-light spread across Gu Qing's luminous skin, covering her whole body.

The next second, Gu Qing had mastered a new spiritual technique.

【Water Condensation Art】 Beginner water-system spiritual technique. Consumes 10 points of spiritual power, can condense moisture from the surrounding environment, lasting 1 minute.

Gu Qing raised her right arm, palm facing up.

Zhao Chi felt a slight fluctuation of spiritual power.

Immediately after, the misty steam above the hot spring, as if guided, began rapidly gathering toward Gu Qing's palm.
