Chapter 87

These clothes and pants are normal garments, taking a bit longer to make than the vests.

Today the tailor shop continues making clothes and pants.

First, let every villager have new clothes to wear.

The blacksmith shop still makes tools.

There are already 15 axes; once we reach 30, we can move on to other things.

The carpentry shop doesn't need too many people for now — let the carpenter Li Zhu handle it on his own.

He can keep making arrows, or build a small cart.

From now on, we'll use carts to haul supplies instead of relying on brute manpower.

The most important thing right now is still to clear land first.

Then build the barracks.

Soon, Gu Qing brought the new female villagers back.

Some were wrapped in bath towels, some were bare outright.

Every one of them looked completely refreshed.

Their skin reflected a healthy sheen.

Tang Ruan helped them ladle out full bowls of rice porridge.

The porridge was warm — just right to eat.

Just like yesterday, they ate their first meal fast, and a lot of it.

Some women could be seen deliberately slowing down, as if afraid Zhao Chi would find it distasteful.

Zhao Chi said: "It's fine, eat as much as you want, don't go hungry. We don't have much else here right now, but making sure you're well-fed, I can still manage that."

Those women nodded gently.

Sure enough, they ate a little faster.

The other female villagers all got up.

The venison was already roasted, and everyone gathered around to eat.

Soon, breakfast was over.

The new female villagers' newborn status was removed.

All of them can be put to work.

Zhao Chi still asked them about their thoughts on jobs.

Some wanted to switch to soldier, some wanted to be craftsmen.

Others had no preference and could be assigned at will.

Zhao Chi changed 4 of them to blacksmiths and 4 to tailors.

These two basic professions are both very important.

Blacksmiths can forge weapons and tools; tailors can make leather armor and clothes.

Both can balance livelihood and combat.

With this, craftsmen now number 11.

5 in the blacksmith shop, 5 in the tailor shop, 1 in the carpentry shop.

The remaining female villagers are all to be changed to soldiers.

Gu Qing takes 3 of them out.

Foraging wild vegetables, wild fruits, herbs, and hunting along the way.

Zhao Chi takes Tang Ruan and 6 others to chop trees at full effort.

Using shovels to dig up tree stumps and stones along the way.

These are all obstacles — with obstacles present, buildings can't be constructed.

Work assignments complete.

The women head off to their respective posts.

Zhao Chi takes out the "Silk Stocking Fashion Improvement Book."

Click to use.

The improvement book glows, becoming transparent.

An image gradually appears before his eyes.

In the center is a pair of standard silk stocking fashion.

Beside the stockings are several options; one must be chosen to improve.

【Please choose improvement direction】

【Silk Stocking Improvement Points】 10 points

【1. Movement Speed 5%】 10 points

【2. Defense 10%】 10 points

【3. Jump 15%】 5 points

【4. Comfort 10%】 2 points

【5. Cleanliness 20%】 2 points

There are 10 improvement points in total.

Below are 5 improvement directions, with the improvement points each costs.

If you choose "1. Improve Movement Speed 5%", it will cost 10 improvement points — equivalent to using them all up.

You could also choose "5. Improve Cleanliness 20%", which only costs 2 improvement points, leaving 8 remaining.

These 8 points can still be freely allocated, and Cleanliness can be improved 5 times.

Seeing this interface, Zhao Chi's mind was already set.

Isn't this the same interface as when configuring a territory?

It can definitely transfer data.

Before he even reached out, golden light had already lit up.

All the configuration point information can be changed.

Perfect!

Zhao Chi didn't rush, but looked through them one by one.

First, he needed to think about how to maximize the effect.

But there was no need to be overly cautious either.

Even if he allocated points wrong, it didn't matter.

After all, the Improvement Tome wasn't the only one; he could buy more later.

If this improvement had problems, then next time he could just improve a correct one.

For example, if this "Improved Version 1" wasn't good.

Then next time he could still improve an "Improved Version 2," and just use "Improved Version 2" afterward.

"Improved Version 1" and "Improved Version 2" are independent of each other, not affecting one another.

Nor do they affect the "Basic Version."

So Zhao Chi wasn't worried about allocating wrong.

The stockings only had 10 improvement points.

Yet there were 5 options.

Actually every option was useful; Zhao Chi wanted to add them all.

But the improvement points were fixed, and the information couldn't be changed either.

He was destined to have to give up some attributes.

But this was still far stronger than other people's improved versions.

Number 1 is Movement Speed.

This should definitely be added.

Fast movement speed can decide many things, and can also enable many tactics.

If he can't win, he can retreat quickly; if the enemy collapses, he can easily pursue.

But it can only be increased by 5%, which isn't that much.

Number 2 is Defense.
