In Qu Jianlei's calculations, repairing the Nascent Soul Sword Casket would require six portions of Restoration Fluid in total.

The Sword Casket had continued to be used afterward, until even its internal space broke down and it was finally taken out of use.
Qu Jianlei had unexpectedly discovered this issue during the repair process.
He was already somewhat obsessive by nature. After running the calculations and deciding he could resolve it while he was at it, he handled it.
During the process, not only did it consume more Restoration Fluid, but quite a few additional materials had to be added.

The team truly was poor, and he was not afraid to admit it, but exposing that fact and allowing others to
