Chapter 1038: Heart Toward the Light (6)

Yang Xiong suddenly stood up.

The chair was knocked over by him.

Coughing, he asked: "Holy shit! Really!?"

His voice was very loud.

People at the two nearby tables all turned to look.

Lu Yi waved her hand: "Nothing, nothing, don't mind it."

People at the two nearby tables turned back.

Cao Feng said: "No fucking way! Lu Yi, you check too, I'm a bit dizzy, maybe I pulled up someone else's info!"

Lu Yi quickly checked, then also stared at Zhao Chi in surprise: "It really is 499, the formation detected Zhao Chi really has 499 combat power, Zhao Chi, you're way too amazing."

"Hahahaha." Yang Xiong laughed loudly: "Li Xun, hand me that bottle of wine at your feet, Zhao Chi, you have to drink at least 10 more cups, otherwise I can't let you leave today."

Cao Feng said with a dark face: "Pour me some too!"

Yang Xiong said: "It's fine, aren't you already dizzy? If you can't drink, then don't."

Cao Feng glared at Yang Xiong: "Who the fuck said I can't drink? Hand over the wine!"

Without waiting for Yang Xiong to give him a cup, Cao Feng drank straight from the bottle.

This wine's alcohol content wasn't too high, but it was still baijiu.

Lu Yi quickly snatched the bottle: "That's enough, Cao Feng! Enough!"

Cao Feng already couldn't stand steady.

With a thud he dropped into the chair, tilted his head back, and passed out.

Li Xun murmured: "Zhao Chi... I really don't know what to say, three months ago I still thought you were about the same as us, how come now you're already this amazing?"

Wang Lie said: "Half a year ago he was still at the bottom of the class, now he's first in the grade, even Zhou Lue's combat power isn't as good as yours."

Zhou Lue and Yuan Zhao were the top three lords of Zhao Chi's grade, very strong.

They were also the figures of the moment back then.

Zhao Chi asked: "How's Zhou Lue? What's his situation?"

Lu Yi said: "Zhou Lue is also a reserve group leader now, his combat power is 490 points, very strong, grouped with several other lords of similar strength."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Zhou Lue's family does have deep foundations, it's understandable that his combat power is strong..."

"Yeah." Lu Yi said: "Their group really struck it rich today, several times more loot than us."

"Zhao Chi, have some of this." Li Xun pushed a plate of chicken closer.

"Thanks." Zhao Chi took a piece: "Did you all also fight today?"

"Of course." Li Xun also took a piece.

Zhao Chi asked in confusion: "But the lowest lords among those alien races are also town-level lords, how did you fight them?"

Yang Xiong laughed loudly: "Same as you guys, our 5 groups ganged up on one town-level lord, hahahaha."

"5 people per group?"

"Not necessarily, some have 2 people, some have 7-8, no fixed number, but generally no more than 10."

"So, you had over 20 lords fighting one town-level lord?"

"Right, and among us there's also 1 town-level lord, isn't that a guaranteed win? Those werewolves, we beat them like dogs, hahahaha..."

Lu Yi added: "Today everyone's busy sorting out the loot, probably by tomorrow they'll group you guys too."

Yang Xiong said with some regret: "Zhao Chi, your combat power is a bit too high, you probably can't be grouped with us. Damn, I thought I was pretty impressive."

Wang Lie laughed: "You are impressive, we were already ranked third among the reserve groups to begin with, Zhao Chi is just a freak, you can't judge him by normal standards."

"Right." Yang Xiong nodded.

Li Xun said: "But you just joined, the higher-ups might still want to observe you for a while, you should be going out to fight soon, be prepared."

Lu Yi nodded: "There are still plenty of bandit lords roaming around nearby, they might send you village-level lords out to wipe them out."

"No problem." Zhao Chi nodded.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.

Cao Feng had just woken up for a bit, then teleported back to his territory.

Yang Xiong's face was beet red, swaying unsteadily, about to collapse any moment.

Li Xun could no longer speak clearly, but kept mumbling, no one knew what he was saying.

Wang Lie kept quietly asking Zhao Chi how to get stronger.

Lu Yi's cheeks were flushed red, constantly smoothing her long hair.

She hadn't drunk much, but was already noticeably tipsy.

But seeing Zhao Chi completely fine, she asked in puzzlement: "Zhao Chi, why do I see no flush on your face and your heart isn't racing, you feel like you haven't gotten drunk at all?"

Yang Xiong squinted: "Damn it, Zhao Chi, fine that your combat power is badass, but how can you also drink this much? Another round!"

He swayed and poured the wine into the dish plate.

Lu Yi said: "Alright, that's about enough, Yang Xiong, you should head back too. Just find Zhao Chi again tomorrow."

Yang Xiong refused.

He came around and pushed Wang Lie: "Go sit over there."

Wang Lie didn't move: "No, he still hasn't told me the secret to raising combat power."

"Secret my ass, hurry back to your territory, I'm going to drink him under the table."

But no matter how Yang Xiong pulled, Wang Lie just wouldn't move.

Lu Yi complained as she stood up: "Yang Xiong, come sit over here, honestly..."

A few more cups of wine went down, and everyone was out.

Lu Yi looked helplessly at the other three drunks: "What do we do with them?"

Zhao Chi laughed and said: "No worries, just tell them something happened in their territory, and they'll head back right away."

Lu Yi gave a soft laugh: "Will that really work?"

"Definitely will, don't worry. They all have humans in their territory, right?"

"Mm, yes, that much can be set at ease."

Li Xun's race is skeletons, so he needs some intelligent races like humans or elves to assist.

Skeletons can't reproduce, but every one of them is a soldier, so that's not bad either.

Lu Yi whispered into each of their ears in turn that something had come up in their territory, and sure enough, they all teleported away.

Lu Yi touched her burning cheeks and said goodbye to Zhao Chi: "I'm feeling a bit dizzy too, so let's call it a day here, we'll get together again tomorrow."

"Alright, hurry back and rest." Zhao Chi pointed at the table: "We don't need to clean this up, do we?"

"No need, there are dedicated cleaning staff in charge. There's a woman over there who's been staring at you—is she your friend?"

A woman?

Zhao Chi turned his head.

He saw Su Qin sitting in the distance, smiling brightly as she looked at Zhao Chi.

Lu Yi laughed and said: "Haha, hurry over to her, I'm leaving, bye~"

"Mm, bye-bye."

Lu Yi teleported, her figure vanishing.

Seeing that Lu Yi had also left, Su Qin immediately pointed at herself, then pointed toward Zhao Chi.

She meant to ask if she could come over.

Zhao Chi nodded.

Su Qin happily walked over quickly, weaving past three dining tables, and arrived at Zhao Chi's side.

She sat down in Lu Yi's seat.

"Zhao Chi, are you all done eating?"

"Just finished. Are you all done gathering too?"
