Chapter 1050

But they might not all sell.

It's fine if they don't sell out; I'll sell them next time.

After all, for most people, these are already top-tier fashion items.

But the rare materials for the stockings are now completely used up; I'll need to restock later.

Zhao Chi's Sewing skill and Stocking specialization are already very high now.

【Name】 Zhao Chi

【Skill】 Sewing 111

【Specialization】 Stockings 53

Although he became a lord less than two months ago, he already has the equivalent of over eleven years of sewing experience.

If Zhao Chi weren't a lord, he could easily be a master tailor.

His Stockings specialization is also at 53 points, equivalent to over five years of stocking-making experience.

Super-Bright Fire Oil produced 803 liters, of which 3 liters were Fine quality.

That counts as a pleasant surprise this time.

【Item】 Super-Bright Fire Oil

【Quality】 Fine

【Effect】 Flame Brightness +1500%

Zhao Chi hadn't expected this Super-Bright Fire Oil could also come out Fine quality.

Likewise, the total stats also increased by 50%, going from the original +1000% to +1500%!

A normal torch illuminates roughly 5 meters.

A torch with Super-Bright Fire Oil illuminates roughly 15 to 20 meters.

But now, a Fine-quality Super-Bright torch already fully illuminates 20 meters.

Light can be seen beyond 20 meters, but the effect is weaker.

If pressed, an illumination range of 20 to 25 meters works too.

Good, those 3 liters of Fine fire oil will be kept.

The remaining 800 liters will be sold.

At this moment, Su Qin sent a message:

【Zhao Chi, the carts are all ready, come over and take them】

Zhao Chi's territory has no horses.

Feathered Oxen are quite good, but they're too large and covered in feathers all over — anyone can tell at a glance they're unusual.

For now, it's better to just spend some money to buy horses.

Zhao Chi needed to craft, so he entrusted Su Qin with the purchase.

Arriving at Clear Bamboo Town.

Su Qin was standing outside the lord's residence.

Seeing Zhao Chi, she smiled and pointed at the two carts beside her: "Take a look at these two carts, what do you think?"

The two carts were parked nearby.

The carts were a very common style, with two wheels wrapped in rubber on the outside to reduce vibration.

In the middle was a very large cart bed that could hold quite a lot of supplies.

Two horses were tied in front of each cart.

Those horses all looked like young packhorses.

Zhao Chi asked: "Didn't I just ask you to buy me 2 horses? Why did you buy 4 horses? And 2 carts?"

Su Qin laughed: "The carts in your territory are all wooden carts made by apprentice carpenters — they don't last. These are made of hardwood. Don't let the plain style fool you; they're very durable. And two horses are too few, so I bought more to rotate them."

"Alright then, how much?"

"What for? No, just take them."

"No way. Last time I gave you money and you said to pay after buying. Why are you refusing it again now?"

Su Qin said, annoyed: "Honestly, why are you always like this? We're family — can't you stop being so polite with me?"

Zhao Chi laughed: "I didn't mean anything by it. I just feel like you don't have it easy earning money."

Su Qin huffed: "I don't have it easy earning money — do you have it easy? I don't want a single copper coin! You're being all polite now, but when you were thrusting into me all over, I didn't see you being this polite."

Zhao Chi laughed: "These past few days I've had too much going on, so I was in a rush. Once I'm back, we'll have plenty of time to take it slow."

Su Qin gave a humph, then said softly: "Fine, I'll wait for you to come back. But being quick actually feels pretty good too — suit yourself, I don't care."

Back at the territory, Zhao Chi loaded the fire oil onto the carts.

800 liters of fire oil isn't actually that much.

All together it's still less than 1 cubic meter.

The fire oil was divided into 8 portions, each packed into a small wooden barrel of 100 liters.

Then sealed with leather straps and wooden lids so it wouldn't spill.

With only these 8 barrels of fire oil on the carts, they looked very empty — there was still plenty of room for more supplies.

But there really were no other supplies to load.

Those 3,227 pairs of stockings were all stored in the system space.

Zhao Chi had originally expected the stockings to take up a lot of space, but they only took up a small portion.

After all, they were all ultra-thin stockings, and they'd been cut with corners skimped — laid on the ground they were nearly transparent, and a firm squeeze squashed them all together.

Zhao Chi didn't put them in any packaging, just put them all in white cloth bags.

The attributes were excellent enough — no one would fuss over the packaging.

When he had sold them to Shopkeeper Wanyan earlier on Rich Aroma Food Street, there had been no packaging either, yet she had valued them greatly.

Gu Qing leaned over and helped Zhao Chi tidy his hair.

"My lord, it's already 8:30. You can set off early — don't leave it too late."

"Alright, I'll head out now."

"Mm, if you run into danger, don't act rashly — run back immediately."

"Alright."

Zhao Chi contacted Li Ruanyu:

Zhao Chi 【Instructor Li, everything on my end is fully prepared. Open up the access for me, I'll teleport over.】

Li Ruanyu 【Alright, but it's not at my location. I'll give you a different set of coordinates. Teleport here — "coordinates"】

Zhao Chi tapped to teleport.

In an instant, he arrived in a different space.

The moment he arrived, Zhao Chi sensed a hubbub all around him.

This was a vast expanse of space, everywhere hard-packed yellow-brown earth.

Beyond that, there was nothing at all.

No flowers, grass, or trees; no stones or rivers either — only hard-packed earth.

But now the place was filled with a disorderly crowd of people.

It seemed like he had arrived at a farmers' market — all sorts of carts and goods jumbled together, a little like Zhao Cang's territory after a battle, noisy and clamorous.

Though the surroundings were chaotic, there was indeed order within the disorder.

The carts were parked in a messy jumble, all of them along both sides of the road.

Quite a few iron-armored soldiers were also maintaining order.

Several broad roads had all been cleared, so getting through was still quite easy.

"Hey, don't stop in the middle of the road — move to the side."

A soldier came over and pointed at Zhao Chi's cart.

"Alright. Can I park anywhere along the sides of the road?"

"Right, just don't block the way."

Zhao Chi drove his cart over to the nearest spot.

He had learned horseback riding and cart-driving at the academy, but it had been a long time since he'd touched them — he was a bit rusty.

Fortunately, he still managed to park smoothly.

Zhao Chi sat in the cart and observed his surroundings.
