Chapter 1143

Zhao Chi nodded: "Exactly, it's better for you to use. Your strength growing is my strength growing. The faster you grow up, the more help it is to me."

Su Qin nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I definitely will!"

Zhao Chi took out several sets of the latest fashion again.

"These are for you and your four elf heroines. The stats are a bit better. Just wear them."

Su Qin, hearing this, quickly called over the four elf heroines standing nearby, dumbfounded.

"You heard him, right? Come quickly and thank Lord Zhao Chi."

Those four elf women hurried over and bowed in unison.

"Thank you, Lord Zhao Chi."

Soft, gentle elven voices.

Zhao Chi waved his hand: "It's fine, no need to thank me. Hurry and put these fashions into storage or distribute them."

Su Qin sighed: "I originally thought being able to wear that set of fashion myself was lucky enough. I didn't expect now even all my elf soldiers can wear them... It feels like a dream."

Zhao Chi laughed: "The gift you gave me also feels like a dream to me."

Su Qin shook her head: "It's not much use to me. I still think these fashions are better. And... why do all these fashions smell so good?"

Zhao Chi scratched his head: "Really... probably because of the perfume."

Su Qin was very puzzled.

She picked up a pair of stockings and sniffed them again.

"What kind of perfume is this? Why doesn't it smell the least bit harsh? And every pair has a different scent, all so pleasant? Did you buy perfume for them?"

Zhao Chi laughed: "I didn't buy it. I think the scent on you smells very good too."

Su Qin shook her head: "That's different. The perfume I buy is already expensive enough. Although the scent is good, there's still a harsh feeling, and if you spray too much you get dizzy. But these are different. Can you buy me some of this perfume too?"

Zhao Chi hesitated for a moment.

He whispered softly into her ear.

"It's genes?" Su Qin was very surprised.

"Yes, from a succubus."

"Succubus... no wonder, then forget it." Su Qin's face was full of regret.

Zhao Chi laughed: "Don't be unhappy, Captain Su. I'll still come tonight."

"Really?" Su Qin cheered up immediately upon hearing that: "Still at 2 AM?"

Zhao Chi laughed: "Depends on the situation, might be a bit earlier. But I won't stay the night at your place."

"Oh... so you came specifically to sleep with me one more time?"

"... When you put it that way... it does seem like it..."

Su Qin laughed: "That's fine too. Better than you not coming. Whatever you come to do is fine. I'll wait for you tonight then."

"Okay!"

Leaving Qingzhu Town, Zhao Chi contacted Li Ruanyu.

Originally he should have gone to find her right after returning.

But Su Qin cut in first, so Zhao Chi pushed it back by an hour.

Li Ruanyu 【It's good that you came back safely. Come to my office, I've opened temporary permissions for you.】

Looks like this Broken World Army really is more open.

Li Ruanyu actually has this kind of authority.

Zhao Chi teleported directly.

With a flash before his eyes, Zhao Chi appeared in front of a stone office building.

It was a two-story small building, where Li Ruanyu's Jade Team had their office.

Outside the office building, people hurried past.

It was just past 8 in the morning, and their work had already begun.

Here, Zhao Chi ran head-on into Mo Ming, who was heading out.

"Captain Mo? Hello."

Zhao Chi was a bit surprised.

Mo Ming saw Zhao Chi and smiled lightly: "Oh~ it's Zhao Chi? Surely you're not here to find me, right? Captain Li's office is at the very back."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Right, I'm here to find Instructor Li. Captain Mo, do you have an office here too?"

Mo Ming pointed upstairs: "Captain Tieshan and I are both on the 2nd floor. Come by for tea when you have time, but not now, we have a mission."

Zhao Chi stepped aside: "Then Captain Mo hurry along, we'll chat later."

"Alright Zhao Chi, see you."

Mo Ming left with cat-like steps.

Zhao Chi was still very unused to those traits of his, but he was a good person, and Zhao Chi could accept his other traits because of his character.

Walking to the office at the very back, the door was half open.

There were six people inside.

Five of them sat by the table talking.

The table was covered in cigarette butts, along with plenty of tea and fruits.

Captain Tieshan was also inside, his voice had been very loud the whole time.

Discussing matters was like arguing.

Li Ruanyu stood at the window with arms crossed, looking at the scenery outside, silent.

Zhao Chi knocked on the door.

The voices inside instantly quieted down.

Everyone looked at Zhao Chi.

Though he didn't recognize them, Zhao Chi guessed they were all squad-captain level.

Li Ruanyu's Jade Squad was a medium-sized unit in terms of rank.

Each medium-sized unit could have small squads beneath it; since Tieshan and Mo Ming were both captains, they must be small-squad captains.

This caravan hadn't engaged in any real combat on departure, so Zhao Chi didn't know exactly how strong the two of them were.

But after several villages had previously joined the World-Breaking Army, they had all been assessed and given ranks.

The entire Stream Village had been set up as Stream Medium Unit, with three clans joining in; each clan was organized as its own squad, all at small-squad level.

The clan leaders were all small-squad captains.

By that analogy, the captains present here basically all had the strength of clan leaders from small to medium-sized clans.

At the very least, they were on par with several of the Zhao family's uncles.

Truly formidable.

Since they were all allies, Zhao Chi was willing to befriend them.

So he took the initiative to greet them: "Hello, captains."

The people seated all gave brief responses.

Tieshan laughed: "Zhao Chi's here? Ruanyu, Zhao Chi's come to find you."

Li Ruanyu nodded: "You all keep discussing. Zhao Chi and I will go inside to talk. Come on, Zhao Chi."

Inside this office there were a few more rooms.

Zhao Chi followed her into one of them.

The decor inside was very simple.

White wall paint.

A wooden desk, a wooden chair, and a window that looked out onto the outside.

Beside it was a small cabinet, and overhead was a tiny spirit-energy lamp.

Apart from that, there was nothing else.

It was essentially a miniature meeting room.

After the door was closed, the sounds outside instantly grew much fainter; the two of them could speak softly here and still hear each other clearly.

Li Ruanyu gave him a smile.

"Sit down. How was this trip out? Did it feel all right?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "It really broadened my horizons. This was my first time entering a spatial rift; it was far too oppressive in there."

Li Ruanyu sighed: "Yeah, I don't like being in there either. It feels like being abandoned by the world, but there's no choice—it's the only way to travel quickly. How was Dark Night City?"
