Chapter 90
Pangdahai: "Bro, to be able to get in and watch this stream is already pretty good . Can you imagine a dorm room with eight people trying to watch the stream together on one screen?"

Paidaxing: "But the host's channel is super weird, right? There's a capacity limit of only 3,000 people . Are there any rich people here? Can someone please give the host a few Imperial Thrones to boost her Popularity Points?"
Bufu Nilaidawoa: "Even if she's gifted with Imperial Thrones, the channel is still too strange . The rules and regulations are very different from any other streaming app . "
Jiang Pengji read the complaints and discussions before she replied .
Host V: "Please be patient . It's part of my plan to increase the channel's capacity . "
Jiang Pengji posted the rules for the different stream interaction modes into the chat .
Host V: "Right now, I'm gathering suggestions for the full interaction mode . Feel free to suggest anything . I will then pick a few suggestions and open a poll . As for the other mode, I will start that when there's an opportunity . "
Most of the channel was filled with new viewers, so Jiang Pengji decided to fill them in on the different streaming modes .
Pangdahai: "I want to see the host visit a brothel . I heard that this channel has a lot of pretty girls . "
Jiang Pengji's viewers were very curious about brothels, and she thought this might be because the modern era's views on prostitution were far more ambiguous than the current era .

After Pangdahai commented that he wanted the host to visit a brothel, the stream filled with comments from other viewers who shared the same sentiment .
Paidaxing: "Wait . I heard that the host is a girl . Are you guys crazy to let a girl into a brothel? If the host gets into any trouble in that sort of place, you will all be responsible! You're a bunch of irresponsible people!"
Some viewers just wanted to start trouble, but there were also a few good souls .
Other than Paidaxing, there was a small minority of viewers who supported his views . In ancient times, a girl's reputation was very important .
Even if nothing were to happen, if news of an underage girl visiting a brothel got out, her reputation would be tarnished .
Jiang Pengji watched the commotion .
She did want to visit a brothel since there was much eye candy there .
But… Liu She would probably not want his daughter visiting a brothel .
Jiang Pengji watched the comments for a little longer before she turned her head and told Taxue, "Call Xu Ke over . "

Xunmei, who was next to her, perked up at the mention of Xu Ke . Her gaze was full of longing as she looked at Jiang Pengji .
Taxue was quite unwilling because she did not have a good impression of Xu Ke . When she saw Xunmei's reaction, she frowned but agreed before she left .
Xu Ke's room was not too far from Jiang Pengji's wing, and Taxue was an efficient maid . She quickly brought the other boy over .
"Let's go," Jiang Pengji said to Xu Ke .
Jiang Pengji was worried that Xu Ke was not threatening enough to oversee the guards' first training .
Other than Jiang Pengji's carriage, there were two other carriages full of heavy items .
"What is it?" Xu Ke asked when he saw the other two carriages .
"Proper training requires proper training tools . I got the seamstresses to sew up a few sandbags, but the material is too rough, so regular sand could leak out from it . So I got some dried clay to replace the sand," Jiang Pengji explained .
Xu Ke cocked his head in contemplation . He thought about the plan she had drawn up and the amount of wood she had bought the day before .
"Is the wood from yesterday also for training purposes?"
"Hm," Jiang Pengji hummed in agreement . "The carpenters said they'd need ten to fifteen days to finish them . The only problem is whether they will be usable . If they aren't, we will need to find better wood or another replacement . "
Xu Ke thought back about the plan before suddenly realizing something . "I heard that the Lius' wood workshop is one of the best in Hejian . The carpenters there are wonderfully talented and have years of experience . What did you request that would challenge their expertise?"
"When have you ever seen a guard making his rounds empty-handed?" Jiang Pengji side-eyed him .
Xu Ke's expression changed . "Privately manufactured weapons?"
"Of course not . They're just crossbows that I've made some adjustments to . They can even be used for hunting . You reminded me that not everyone has the strength to draw a heavy bow . Even a strongman would not be able to draw a bow if he was weak with hunger . To be able to draw a bow, one needs years of training . This would take too much effort, and the results would not be promising . "
Even though Jiang Pengji was not explicit in her explanation, Xu Ke caught her meaning . She was hinting that these crossbows could be used by weaker people or even someone with poor eyesight .
"If such a weapon could exist, you would have to make sure you chose the right carpenters, or the secret could get out . "
Xu Ke seemed calm, but his mind was in turmoil… Could such a weapon exist?
Jiang Pengji nodded her head in agreement . In an era where technology was rudimentary at best, any weapons that were slightly more advanced gave them an advantage . Even if her ideas did not work, she could not let others use them .
"I'm not a naive person . I would obviously get trustworthy people to work on my weapons . "
Manzui Gouliang: "#laughcry . Don't bully the adorkable kid . "
Xu Ke looked very much like a celebrity from the viewers' era, and they had an affectionately nicknamed him "adorkable . "
"Langjun is obviously not naive," Xu Ke replied solemnly .
She was very reliable!
