Chapter 444: Chapter 313: Four-Way Melee (14)
Steam rose continuously, and the spring water was crystal clear.
Zhao Chi took out the Rejuvenation Spring Expansion Book, the Rejuvenation Spring Super-Improved Book, and a Speed Building Talisman.
He still had 11 Speed Building Talismans, which was more than enough.
’If it’s not enough, I can just buy a few more from Zhao Cang.’
The order in which he used the Expansion Book and the Super-Improved Book didn’t matter.
One would make the Carefree Spring larger, while the other would raise its Attributes.
After some thought, he decided to use the Super-Improved Book first.
He tapped to activate it.
Instantly, the Improvement Book emitted a blinding light, which formed the image of a hot spring before his eyes.
The image was of the original Rejuvenation Spring, which looked a little different from the Carefree Spring.
Multiple options had appeared around the hot spring.
It was a familiar interface.
[Please select an Improvement path]
[Rejuvenation Spring Improvement Points]: 10
[Recovery Speed Type]:
[1. Life Recovery +25%]: 1 Point
[2. Physical Strength Recovery +25%]: 3 Points
[3. Energy Recovery +25%]: 3 Points
[4. Spiritual Power Recovery +25%]: 4 Points
[5. All Recovery +25%]: 9 Points
[Special Effect Type]:
[6. Comfort Level +50%]: 1 Point
[7. Cleaning Speed +50%]: 1 Point
[8. Mood +25%]: 10 Points
[9. Effect Duration +500%]: 10 Points
The options were the same as before.
Zhao Chi didn’t hesitate for long this time. He already had a plan in mind.
First, he had to max out option 5. It had already been improved 7 times, and he could now improve it another 3 times.
Currently, the Carefree Spring’s Effect was: All State Recovery Speed +200%, Mood +50%, Duration 6 hours.
After the Improvement, the All-State Recovery speed would become +275%.
’It’s not a whole number. That’s a little annoying to look at.’
Zhao Chi didn’t have OCD, but sometimes he needed to do the math.
’Oh well, +275% it is.’
He also had to increase the Effect Duration from option 9.
The base Duration was 1 hour. He had added 1 point to it before, so the Duration became 6 hours.
Although 6 hours wasn’t particularly long, those women came to soak in the spring whenever they had free time, so it was more than enough.
But now that he had the choice, of course he would add more.
’I have 7 points left. I’ll allocate 1 point to make the Duration 11 hours.’
’The remaining 6 points will all go to Mood.’
After all, the Mood Bonus was substantial and could significantly improve work Efficiency.
That would use up all 10 Improvement Points.
In truth, Zhao Chi also really wanted to increase the Comfort Level and Cleaning Speed.
Especially the Comfort Level.
After all, it wasn’t just for those women; Zhao Chi was also a Regular Customer of the Carefree Spring.
He could soak, rest, and admire them all at the same time.
’If it were more comfortable, wouldn’t that be even better?’
Besides, the Female Craftsmen worked very hard. If the spring were more comfortable, it would help them better alleviate their fatigue.
Their Happiness Level would rise.
’But unfortunately, I don’t have enough points. I can only upgrade the most critical aspects.’
His mind was made up. He initiated the data transfer.
He transferred the points from options 1, 6, and 7 over to options 5, 8, and 9.
[Current data compatibility is low. Transfer success rate: 31%. Are you sure you wish to proceed?]
He spent 7 Technology Points to raise the success rate to 100%.
He tapped "Confirm."
[Your Improvements are as follows]:
[5. All Recovery +25%]x3
[8. Mood +25%]x6
[9. Effect Duration +500%]x1
[Are you sure?]
He looked it over one more time. Everything was in order.
He tapped "Confirm."
[Option 8 is a Special Effect-type Improvement. The maximum Number of Improvements is 5. You have exceeded the limit. Please reallocate your Improvement Points.]
’Huh?’
’It can’t be improved more than 5 times?’
This was the first time Zhao Chi had ever encountered such a situation.
’But why didn’t it say that beforehand?’
’Isn’t that a total rip-off?’
’Telling me only after I’ve already transferred the data...’
Now, Zhao Chi had to reallocate his points.
’Let’s see...’
After reconsidering, he decided to just max out Mood and Effect Duration.
This way, the Recovery Effect would be improved a total of 10 times, while Mood and Effect Duration would both be improved 5 times. It could be considered that all three options were now maxed out.
’That’s not a bad outcome at all.’
Zhao Chi reallocated the points and tapped "Confirm."
[Your Improvements are as follows]:
[5. All Recovery +25%]x3
[8. Mood +25%]x3
[9. Effect Duration +500%]x4
[Are you sure?]
He tapped "Confirm."
[Congratulations, the Improvement technology for your territory’s "Carefree Spring" has been updated. You may now begin the Modification.]
The last time the Carefree Spring was modified, he’d had Fang Li’s construction team do it.
It had taken a great deal of Time.
But now, Zhao Chi wasn’t short on money.
He could just use a Speed Building Talisman.
This Speed Building Talisman was more expensive than a Speeding Charm; after all, a Speeding Charm only sped up one person’s work for 10 hours.
A Speed Building Talisman, on the other hand, sped up the Time for an entire Building’s construction and even automated it, requiring no manual labor.
He had looked up Speed Building Talismans on the Exchange before, and the cheapest ones were 1 Gold Coin each.
Sometimes, they went for more than 5 Gold Coins a piece.
Right now, Zhao Chi didn’t have the Time to wait for a slow Modification.
So, he would spend money to buy Time.
He activated the Speed Building Talisman.
The Speed Building Talisman began to glow.
[Please select a target Building]
Images of numerous buildings appeared in his vision.
These were all newly available buildings, but Zhao Chi ignored them all, instead selecting the Carefree Spring beside him.
[This Building is quite large and requires the Consumption of 2 Speed Building Talismans. Are you sure?]
’No problem.’
He tapped "Confirm."
Two Speed Building Talismans rose into the air.
[Please select target materials]
[1. Stone x50]
[2. Moonstone x50]
’I can choose Moonstone?’
’This is great.’
When he had drawn the Moonstones this morning, Zhao Chi had been a little disappointed.
’I didn’t expect to be able to use them so soon.’
He naturally chose Moonstone.
A massive amount of white light burst from the nearby warehouse, coalescing above it like a cloud.
Within seconds, all the light had gathered high in the air.
The next moment, a rain of light fell.
Streaks of white light descended upon the Carefree Spring.
The entire Carefree Spring seemed to transform into a font of pure light.
