Chapter 1033

He walked slowly through the village, taking his time, looking around as he went, taking in the place where he had lived for two years.

Stream Village wasn't exactly a hometown to him, but it was still his hometown in this world, so he still felt some attachment to it.

He might not be able to come back for a long time after this, and by the time he returned, the place might be completely unrecognizable, so he wanted to look at it a little longer.

He walked into the wooden cabin.

The furnishings inside were very simple; the only thing worth taking was the sewing table.

He walked into the storage shed.

There was even less worth taking in here; only the oil-refining workbench could be brought along.

There was nothing else.

At most, there were the precious memories of these two years, and memories were fine stored in the head.

One hour passed quickly.

All the lords returned to Horn Cliff Town once again.

General Yan Ling and the squad captains were in a meeting with the other rebel forces and did not show themselves.

The one receiving everyone was Yuan Chen.

Following family groupings, he assigned everyone to the area on the southwest side of Horn Cliff Town.

There were quite a few empty houses here.

Everyone could take whichever they liked.

But houses were limited after all; it couldn't be like it had been in Stream Village.

Now that Su Qin was already Zhao Chi's concubine, they were only given one house.

Su Qin not only had no objections, but was actually very happy.

"That's fine, Zhao Chi. I think it works. Let's just live together."

Zhao Chi nodded: "I have no objections either, but this place can only count as a temporary residence. We'll mainly be living in the territory."

Su Qin smiled: "Mm, temporary is fine too. After all, we're one family now."

Their house was on the southwest edge, with the city wall to the south and the cliff to the west.

The house was a 30-square-meter stone dwelling, partitioned into three rooms inside. None of them were very spacious, but neither Zhao Chi nor Su Qin minded.

Around them were the houses of the other members of the Zhao family, so each family had its own little area.

It's just that these places didn't belong to them now, but to the World-Breaking Army; they could only be considered as permitted residents.

Not just them—everyone was the same, including the World-Breaking Army itself.

That evening.

The World-Breaking Army held a victory celebration, which also doubled as a welcome banquet for the new lords.

General Yan Ling and the others each said a few words of blessing in turn.

You could tell they were all very excited too about completely annihilating an alien squad today.

Zhao Chi and the four students of Class 4 sat at a small table in the corner.

Yang Xiong brought over two more jugs of wine.

"Zhao Chi, hurry up and drink. How are you already done after six cups? Stop showing off."

Zhao Chi said helplessly: "Let's not just drink, let's chat more. There's plenty of time for drinking."

Yang Xiong said: "You've got it backwards. There's plenty of time for chatting—you can chat through the system too—but drinking isn't like that. Drink up!"

After saying that, he raised his cup, clinked it against Zhao Chi's, and drained it in one go.

Zhao Chi sighed and drank his dry too.

Yang Xiong poured full again.

Lu Yi advised: "Yang Xiong, you can drink a little slower. Zhao Chi's constitution is pretty poor; he definitely can't out-drink you."

Yang Xiong laughed: "Zhao Chi's constitution has already been raised to 5 points. You still think he's at 4? Ha."

Lu Yi said: "Your constitution is 7 points, way stronger than his too. Zhao Chi's right—today we really should chat more."

Cao Feng snorted: "Zhao Chi, is your constitution still only 5 points? How are you this weak? Even I'm at 6 points now. So trash!"

Cao Feng actually extended his cup too.

Li Xun also extended his cup: "Together, together."

Wang Lie also reached out his cup.

Zhao Chi smiled, clinked cups, and drank his dry.

Zhao Chi's constitution was now 10 points; if he really let loose, he could drink all of them under the table.

But he really did want to get a clearer picture of the situation sooner.

A few more cups went down.

Only then did everyone start talking more.

Lu Yi sighed: "Back then, a big group of us spectators were trapped in the virtual arena. At first we fell into the hands of the Heavenly King Army. But then the World-Breaking Army arrived, and they took a portion of the captives. Cao Feng and I were lucky enough to end up with the World-Breaking Army."

Cao Feng nodded: "Yeah, when I saw it was the Heavenly King Army, I thought we were done for. Even if we survived, we'd definitely lose a layer of skin, and the territory definitely couldn't be held. It really was a blessing in disguise."

Zhao Chi asked: "I remember Shi Juan was with you the whole time back then, right? Didn't he come to the World-Breaking Army?"

The moment the name Shi Juan came up, the whole table went quiet.

Yang Xiong and Lu Yi's faces stiffened a little; they both glanced at Cao Feng, whether intentionally or not.

Yang Xiong, who had been raising his cup again to urge more drinks, silently pulled his hand back.

Lu Yi looked at Zhao Chi, then stared at Cao Feng.

Li Xun coughed once.

Wang Lie laughed: "Drink, drink."

Yang Xiong also raised his cup: "Come, Zhao Chi, Cao Feng, drink!"
