Chapter 364

Xu Que wanting to be the strategist was completely inconceivable in Situ Haitang's eyes!

She believed that even if Xu Que's True Essence were sealed after going up the mountain, he would still be very strong. After all, the sword moves he had displayed earlier all contained powerful sword intent, and once he engaged the enemy, that sword technique would inevitably continue to exert terrifying power!

But Xu Que insisted on being the strategist, saying that from the moment he named himself Zhuge Liang, he was destined to be a strategist!

Situ Haitang was confused and didn't want to dwell on this issue.

Because what she cared about was another question!

"Young Hero Zhuge, you said you could make the troops in Snow City become strong. Could it be that you have a special method of training troops? Or do you want to teach them martial arts? But that would probably take a lot of time!" Situ Haitang asked.

Xu Que immediately shook his head, touched the feather fan again, and smiled with the confidence of someone holding the winning cards: "You're right, training troops now takes too much time, so we have to start from other aspects!"

"Other aspects?" Situ Haitang was stunned.

"Come, let me ask you, is the gap between us and the opponent basically nothing but numbers?" Xu Que smiled.

Situ Haitang nodded. After all, True Essence is sealed on the Snow Mountain Holy Land, so everyone cannot use True Essence. Therefore, the gap between the Snow City Army and the Ice Armor Army is indeed just a matter of numbers!

"So we can start from other aspects. In a situation where True Essence cannot be used, everyone's physical exertion is huge and difficult to recover. In such a situation, if I could make our Snow City Army soldiers suddenly recover their physical strength when they are exhausted, what do you think would happen?"

"What? This... how is this possible?" Situ Haitang widened her eyes instantly.

In a situation where True Essence cannot be used, making the Snow City Army instantly recover their physical strength? How could this be done? Even taking pills would require time and True Essence to catalyze!

But if it could really be done, then the Snow City Army's chances of winning would be very high. As long as they made some changes in tactics and dragged out the opponent's physical strength, victory would be within their grasp!

Imagine, several thousand soldiers with peak spirit and physical strength against tens of thousands of Ice Armor Army soldiers whose physical strength is exhausted; everyone knows what the outcome would be!

But... can this really be done? How to do it?

Situ Haitang was extremely curious, staring blankly at Xu Que.

Xu Que smiled deeply, shook his feather fan, and said: "Arrange a spacious room for me, clear out everything in the room, and gather a hundred people to help me. I'll teach you what an assembly line is!"

Assembly line?

When Situ Haitang left the City Lord's Mansion, her head was still confused, full of question marks, completely unable to understand what Xu Que was trying to do.

But Xu Que's successive performances, plus that broken jade pendant from the Water Emperor, made her trust Xu Que, so she finally followed his instructions.

Thus, a dignified City General ended up running errands for Xu Que.

She first gathered over a hundred craftsmen to manufacture Kong Ming lanterns and paragliders according to the design blueprints.

Then she found a storeroom that was originally used for grain and gathered manpower from all over, until late that night, when she managed to scrape together over a hundred people.

At this time, Xu Que, who was addicted to playing Zhuge Liang, walked over slowly, shaking his feather fan.

Under the gaze of over a hundred people, he came before the crowd, stood at the entrance of the storeroom, and smiled indifferently: "Good evening, fellow villagers!"

Everyone respected Xu Que very much, and immediately, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, they responded loudly: "Good evening, Young Hero Zhuge!"

"Good, everyone's spirit is good; you are all the hope of the future of the Shuiyuan Kingdom!" Xu Que nodded with satisfaction, holding himself like a leader on an inspection tour.

The over a hundred commoners on the scene immediately stood straight, puffing out their chests with immense pride.

Being praised by a hero, what a proud thing this was!

At this moment, Situ Haitang, who was beside him, couldn't stand it anymore and walked to Xu Que's side, asking in a low voice: "Young Hero Zhuge, what are you planning to do next?"

"That's a good question. I've been researching for the whole afternoon and finally came up with a new formula. Now we can prepare to start!"

"Start... start what?" Situ Haitang was confused.

"Start making ice lollies! I tell you, I've been researching for the whole afternoon, just to tailor-make a vitamin functional drink for you, called Red Bull. What to do when you're tired and sleepy? That's right, drink Red Bull! But considering the special weather here, I changed it into ice lollies!" Xu Que said with great interest.

Ice lollies?

Hearing this, not only Situ Haitang, but the commoners on the scene were also stunned.

Aren't there plenty of ice lollies outside? You can knock a few out just by hitting them, why make them yourself?

Everyone couldn't figure it out!

However, Situ Haitang had been busy in the city for the whole afternoon, but Xu Que hadn't been idle at all.

When he heard Situ Haitang talk about the physical strength problem, he immediately thought of Red Bull!

It's just that the system mall didn't sell this kind of thing, but there were some formulas similar to Red Bull for sale.

Like this kind of vitamin functional drink, it generally contains ingredients like caffeine and vitamins, which are rich in refreshing and replenishing physical strength!

So Xu Que adjusted the formula, exchanged for a large batch of materials, and related manufacturing machinery!

Ordinary functional drinks certainly couldn't have much effect.

But Xu Que was different; he already had the status of a one-star chef, a man who could make stinky tofu that could enhance soul power!

Now that he wanted to make food that could instantly replenish physical strength, would it be difficult?

The answer was definitely no, but the key to the problem lay in how much physical strength the things he made could replenish?

The amount depended on his chef level!

So, in order to do this job well, Xu Que spent 1,500 Acting Cool Points to exchange for a two-star chef skill book.

Later, fearing that the effect wouldn't be awesome enough, this guy fiercely spent another 3,000 Acting Cool Points to exchange for a three-star chef skill book.

After using them in one go, his chef status instantly soared to the three-star level!

So at this very moment, Xu Que was incomparably confident and proud!

The big thing he was going to do today was to make ice lollies, and it was assembly line production. He was going to build an ice lolly manufacturing workshop in the Shuiyuan Kingdom!

"Don't doubt my professional level! My ice lollies are not ordinary ice lollies; not all ice lollies can be called ice lollies! As long as everyone works together, after making the ice lollies, we can kill our way up to the Snow Mountain Holy Land and rescue the Water Emperor. Tell me loudly, are you in or not?" Xu Que raised his feather fan and said with power and force.

Hearing Xu Que say so confidently that he could rescue the Water Emperor, everyone felt their heads heat up, and without thinking too much, they immediately raised their arms and cheered!

"In!"

"Must be in!"

"We are willing to give our all for Young Hero Zhuge!"

"Young Hero Zhuge is mighty!"

All kinds of shouts were endless, making Xu Que's vanity almost explode, and his Acting Cool Points also rose steadily.

Finally, he walked into the storeroom, summoned the system package, and took out the machines one by one, assembling them in the spacious storeroom.

Each piece of equipment was a high-end product from Earth, but placed in the cultivation world, they became strangely shaped iron lumps!

Situ Haitang was stunned.

The commoners also widened their eyes, curiously examining them!

Thus, that night, Snow City was brightly lit; it was a busy, sleepless night!

The craftsmen in the east of the city were processing and rushing to build Kong Ming lanterns and paragliders, making all kinds of "clang-clang" hammering sounds.

The commoners in the south of the city, under Xu Que's guidance, were assigned to various positions on the assembly line, operating the machinery and producing raw materials.

Xu Que was responsible for inspection and guidance, and controlled the final step, distributing a wisp of soul power to open the system trusteeship function, using the machinery to condense all the raw material liquids into ice lollies!

At the same time, he also sprinkled a mysterious small crystal on them with a solemn expression!

Finally, one crystal-clear brown ice lolly after another was produced continuously...
