Chapter 100

"Good, good night."

Gu Qing hopped out.

Close the door on the way out.

Zhao Chi let out a breath and flopped down heavily.

His arms were still a bit sore and swollen, but after Gu Qing pressed them, they were much better.

The moment he lay down, sleep crashed over him like a wave.

The next second he was fast asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already past 7 in the morning.

He pushed the door open and stepped out.

The morning sunlight was warm and gentle.

Ten more pits had appeared on the ground.

Ten fair-skinned women were eating.

Their hair was damp.

Their skin reflected the dewy morning light — clearly they had just finished bathing.

They all froze when they saw Zhao Chi.

Only after a few seconds did they start covering themselves.

Gu Qing laughed and said, "This is our lord, Lord Zhao Chi. Hurry and greet him."

The women quickly set down their bamboo cups and dropped to one knee: "Greetings, my lord."

Zhao Chi said, "Get up quickly. You just washed yourselves clean — don't kneel on the ground."

The women thanked him and stood, wanting to pick up their bamboo cups, wanting to cover themselves, and unsure whether they should cover themselves at all — each one hesitated.

Not wanting to make them uncomfortable, Zhao Chi turned around and went straight back inside.

He washed up while checking the system.

The system had many unread messages.

First was yesterday's summary.

【Yesterday's Work Summary】

【Gathering】Wild vegetables ×8, wild fruit ×7, herbs ×1

【Hunting】Meat ×114

【Forging】Tools ×48

【Woodworking】Wooden shields ×8, wooden cart ×1

【Sewing】Cloth shirts ×14, cloth pants ×14, cloth shoes ×20

The gathering and hunting were both done yesterday morning by Gu Qing leading a team — the results were decent.

Fruits and vegetables totaled 15 kilograms, herbs 1 kilogram.

Meat totaled 114 kilograms.

After all, when Zhao Chi chose the configuration, he had selected quite a few extra animals.

This food was enough for several meals.

The tools included axes, machetes, daggers — all sorts.

Woodworking output was low; yesterday only Li Zhu was doing woodworking.

Now all the cloth shoes were finished.

Every woman had shoes to wear.

But there were still 11 women with no clothes to wear.

Not a big problem — after all, Zhao Chi was the only man.

Besides the work summary, both the class group and private chats had many unread messages.

Zhao Chi opened the official class group:

Inside was an announcement from Instructor Li Ruanyu:

【After yesterday's thorough search and rescue, we found nothing】

【Now I must sadly inform everyone that Liu Xun is already lost and will never return】

【Everyone must learn from this lesson — always put life first! Before life, territory and money can all be given up. Remember this firmly!!】

【Also, we are recently facing another monster siege. Do not approach the walls, and absolutely do not use spiritual technique near the walls】

【Recently nobles from District 7 have come to the southern wall on business. Try to go out less, focus on developing within your territory, and do not clash with them — it will be very troublesome】

【Everyone reply "Received"】

Below was a string of classmates' replies.

Many also expressed regret over Liu Xun.

Yesterday, everyone had basically already been able to confirm this outcome.

But there was still a sliver of hope — hoping to find him at the edge of the fog.

Now it was finally confirmed he was lost.

What awaited Liu Xun could only be despair and death.

During a monster siege, the external methods outside the walls would activate at maximum power. Approaching rashly could be dangerous — especially when using spiritual technique nearby.

As for the nobles…

They truly were nobles — great power, high status, a different breed from commoners.

A chasm commoners could hardly cross.

Zhao Chi clicked on the private message again.

It was sent by Yang Xiong and Lu Yi.

Yang Xiong 【Zhao Chi, my Orc hero is almost level 3, if you need anything just say it, I'll back you all the way, damn it!】

Lu Yi 【Don't mind him, don't act rashly, just develop yourself properly, don't get distracted】

Hmm?

What's going on?

Although he still hadn't figured out the situation.

But Zhao Chi could confirm that something must have happened in the class's private group.

He opened the group with 99+ messages, and sure enough.

The earlier messages were just the usual daily chatter between students.

They talked about everything.

There were also all sorts of things opened from treasure chests, traded and sold among each other.

Wang Lie 【Did anyone open a Goblin's exclusive building? I'll buy it】

Tan Wei 【How could an exclusive building be opened during the novice phase?】

Wang Lie 【Hehe, just asking, what if someone has one?】

Cao Feng 【Wang Lie, stop your damn hehe-ing. Why aren't you selling the Silk Stocking Improvement Tome anymore? Did someone buy it?】

Wang Lie went silent.

He never spoke again.

Cao Feng 【Don't play dead!】

Wang Lie 【Already sold】

Cao Feng 【Sold to who the hell? Who dared to buy it?】

Wang Lie 【Sold it to the Exchange】

Cao Feng 【Bullshit, I know people at the Exchange, don't make me go check. I'll ask you one more time, who did you sell it to?】

Wang Lie 【It's just a crappy improvement tome for a trash costume, it's not even worth much, you can buy it easily】

Cao Feng 【This isn't about money now, understand? Don't make me ask a second time】

Wang Lie 【... Zhao Chi】

Cao Feng 【Shit? Nice, it's your damn Zhao Chi again? You really asking for a beating?】

Yang Xiong 【Cao Feng, haven't you mourned your two Shadow Leopards yet? Why are you shooting your mouth the moment you're unsealed?】

Cao Feng 【Yang Xiong, you can't escape either. After I deal with Zhao Chi, you're next, don't get cocky】

Yang Xiong 【Deal with me? You?】
