Chapter 397: Are You Going To Do It Or Not?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In Situ's view, Xu Que would be better off as their strongest and most ferocious soldier, not their military advisor. In her opinion, even if Xu Que's energy lost its effect, he would likely still be very powerful.
Judging from his swordplay from before, once he started to fight against the enemy, he would definitely win. A powerful man like him should not just be a military advisor!
However, Xu Que insisted on being the military advisor. He said that when he had revealed his identity as Zhuge Liang, he had already decided to be their military advisor.
In any case, Situ was not too concerned about this. Instead, she was worrying about something else.
"Hero Zhuge, you said that you could make the soldiers and horses in the city more powerful, does that mean that you have some special way to train them? Or are you going to teach them some martial arts? Still, that is going to cost you lots of time." Situ asked.
Hearing this, Zhuge waved his head and took out his feather fan and smiled: "you are right, we do not have that much time, so we should find other ways!"
"Other ways?" Situ was a bit confused.
"Well, apart from the number of soldiers, we are no different from our enemy, right?" Xu Que smiled.
Situ nodded.
After all, no one could use their True Core Strength in the holy ground. The only difference between the two sides was in numbers!
"Once they can no longer use their True Core Strength, they will easily get tired out and it is going to take a long time for them to recover. If we can help our soldiers reclaim their strength quickly, then ha, we would definitely win!"
"What?! That is impossible!" Situ was shocked.
Without using True Core Strength, it would be impossible to help them reclaim their strength very quickly! Yes, we have plenty of medicine, but we need to use True Core Strength to make them work!
If Xu Que could really make it work, then there was a great chance that Situ's side would win. Thousands of energetic soldiers would certainly defeat tens of thousands of exhausted soldiers.
But could Xu Que really do that? And how?
Situ was very curious about what Xu Que was going to do. She looked at Xu Que in a daze.
Xu Que laughed and gently waved his fan. "I need a empty room and a hundred helpers. I am going to show you what the continuous production line is!"
The continuous production line?
Situ walked out of the residences and still had no idea what Xu Que wanted to do. After she saw Xu Que's piece of jade, she no longer doubted him, and did what he had requested.
Firstly, she asked a hundred craftsmen to make the Kongming Lantern and the fabric wings that were needed for paragliding.
Then, she emptied out a storeroom and managed to gather around a hundred people by the end of the night.
Xu Que slowly walked into the room, while waving his feather fan.
"Good evening! Everyone!"
"Good evening! Hero Zhuge!"
"Good! You all look very cheered up! I believe you are the future of Water Nation!" Xu Que nodded with satisfaction.
Hearing this, everyone felt very proud.
Situ anxiously walked toward to Xu Que and asked, "Hero Zhuge, what are we going to do?"
"Good question. I have been thinking all afternoon and I have made a new formula. We shall begin now!"
"Begin to do what?" Situ was confused.
"We shall begin to make ice lollies together. I have decided to make an energy drink for you. It is called RedBull. Considering the climate here, I think it would be better to make the drink into an energy ice lolly." Xu Que said.
Ice lolly?
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
There are already so many ice lollies available here, why do we have to make one by ourselves?
Earlier, when Situ had mentioned that the soldiers would get very tired without True Core Strength, he had immediately thought of RedBull.
Usually, the energy drinks contained caffeine, vitamins and other nutritions. They could make people feel refreshed and energetic.
Since Xu Que was already a one-star chef, he could even make a tofu that would make anyone who ate it extremely powerful. Of course, he would just as easily be able to make some special energy drinks.
But the problem was how energetic this energy drink could make someone. This factor would be determined by Xu Que's skill.
To be able to make the perfect energy drink, he spent 1500 Acting Tough Points to buy a certification of two-star chef. Still, he was worried that his skills might still be a bit low, so he spent another 3000 Acting Tough Points and bought a certification of three-star chef.
Today, he wanted to build a ice lolly manufacturing factory here in Water Nation!
"I hope you can all trust my expertise! The ice lolly I am going to make is very special! If we can work together, once we make enough ice lollies, we will be able to rescue the Water Empress. Tell me! Are you going to do it or not?" Xu Que said resolutely.
"Yes! Let's do this!"
"We are definitely going to do this!"
"We would do anything for you!"
…
Hearing this, Xu Que felt very proud. His Acting Tough Points were also increasing!
He summoned his system storage. Then he took out all the equipment and began to assemble it.
All the equipment comprised of advanced inventions from Earth, but here in the Cultivation World, they would just look like some peculiar iron-made "gadgets".
Both Situ and the others were very curious. They stared at the equipment.
…
That night, the whole city remained lit up.
The craftsmen in the eastern side of the city were making the Kongming Lantern and the fabric wings. The citizens in the southern side of the city were using the equipment to produce raw materials.
Xu Que used a bit of his Soul Strength to control the machine he had assembled and turned all the raw materials into ice lolly.
Meanwhile, he also carefully sprinkled some mysterious tiny crystals on them.
The brown ice lollies came out, one after another...
