Chapter 1153: Mysterious Maiden Battle Armor (1)

In the pit, over forty skeletons were wandering about.

Their entire bodies were a ghastly white.

After all, this was the territory's initial monster camp, so these skeletons were all empty-handed, with no weapons or equipment whatsoever.

Though their numbers were considerable, their strength was not even that of basic-grade skeletons.

Seeing Qiyue, they all fearlessly ground their bones together and charged forward.

Qiyue swung her blade in a wide arc.

A crescent moon blade slash shot out.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Rattle! Crash! Crash!

Bone fragments littered the ground.

She sliced straight through a string of skeletons.

All forty skeletons were wiped out in just a few seconds.

Qiyue 【My lord… is that all there is?】

Zhao Chi 【Yeah, let's look around for any loot, then take a lap around the whole territory】

Qiyue 【Yes!】

This skeleton camp was very poor, with only some basic resources.

There was also a wooden treasure chest, which upon opening contained some basic-grade medicines.

They were of no use to Zhao Chi.

Likewise, after destroying this place, the territory could be expanded by 100 square meters, and Zhao Chi added it to Chaoge Village.

Right after, Qiyue strode her long legs and circled the entire Chaoge Village, finding nothing.

There was only this 10-square-kilometer stretch of pure land.

Only the color of the soil was somewhat different.

The outer perimeter was basically brown, while the inner central area was a dark brown.

This dark brown soil was fertile land.

Later, the priority would be to plant on it.

He brought Qiyue back to Penglai Village, then opened the movement permissions for Chaoge Village to all his female subordinates.

Gu Qing specifically came over to confirm the situation.

"My lord, we've gained another territory?"

"That's right, your workload will be even heavier from now on. Thank you for your hard work."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "What's there to it? I can handle it. As long as you can grow stronger and stronger, no matter how hard I work, it's all worth it."

Zhao Chi briefed Gu Qing on his plans and the situation at Chaoge Village.

Gu Qing nodded: "Then we'll immediately pause the farmland development in Penglai Village. I'll have Gu Yan lead the kobolds to Chaoge Village to cultivate new fields."

Zhao Chi said: "That works. Chaoge Village can just have some simple facilities built, like wells, toilets, tables, chairs, benches, and so on. When they rest, they all go back to Penglai Village to rest. Chaoge Village will mainly be for cultivating farmland."

"Understood, I get it."

Now Penglai Village has a total of 275 farm plots.

25 Experience Fruit plots, 250 wheat plots.

However, most of the farm plots were only recently reclaimed, especially those reclaimed after the kobolds joined. They'd still need to wait half a month before harvest.

By then, the flour would really be bursting out of storage.

Chaoge Village didn't need too much construction.

Not even a granary needed to be built.

After all, it was too hot there, and stored food would spoil easily.

Just treat it as an independent large farm.

At the same time, it was also Zhao Chi's second escape location.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows—Zhao Chi already achieved this.

The last task was to go to the trading post in Jiaoya Town.

The trading post was in the center of town; the entire Jiaoya Town had only this one trading post.

Of course, it was also a trading post controlled by the Breaking World Army.

There were a lot of people here.

To handle business, one still needed to take a number, then go to the counter.

Comparatively speaking, the trading model in Black Crystal Town was far more advanced than here.

Zhao Chi took a number, and at the same time received an item list.

Zhao Chi discovered that this Jiaoya Town trading post was yet again different from before.

Every item on the list had a note attached.

【Swift Work Talisman, 17 remaining】 (Colonel rank and above may purchase; unlocking the next tier requires waiting 1 day)

【Swift Work Talisman, 58 remaining】 (General rank and above may purchase; unlocking the next tier requires waiting 1 day)

What did this mean?

He found a staff member at the nearby consultation desk to ask, and only then understood.

In this Jiaoya Town, or rather in the Breaking World Army, everything was determined by one's status.

These two kinds of Swift Work Talismans were the same; only the time of sale was different.

The former were registered for sale earlier.

The ones behind were just registered for sale.

Generally speaking, when a new batch of supplies is released to the exchange, only those with the rank of General can purchase directly that day.

On the second day, those with the rank of Field Officer can buy — Li Ruanyu and Zhao Shizhang can.

On the third day, those with the rank of Company Officer can buy — Su Qin can.

On the fourth day, those with the rank of Non-commissioned Officer — Zhao Chi can.

After the fifth day, it's fully open; anyone can buy, including ordinary people.

This really hurts trading efficiency.

But it greatly satisfies the priority purchasing rights of those with higher ranks.

And rank is usually tied to strength.

One could say that the stronger a person is, the more priority they have to purchase supplies.

This isn't meant to discriminate between people of different ranks.

It's meant to ensure that the strongest fighters can always pick supplies first.

This is only natural.

It's like how every family's resources used to be tilted toward those with more potential.

The Poshi Army also hopes to tilt its limited resources toward the stronger first.

Only by guaranteeing their strength first can the faction's survival be ensured.

Although there are quite a few items Zhao Chi currently has no right to buy, he actually supports this arrangement.

The prices in this exchange really aren't expensive.

Probably because there are no territory import-export taxes, they're basically the original prices.

It's just that supplies in Horn Cliff Town aren't that plentiful — the basics are all there, but mid-to-high-end ones are scarce.

After all, Horn Cliff Town now has many lords, and the combat density is high.

Everyone's supply consumption is greater, so naturally there are far fewer on the market.

Click to enter the fashion page.

There are quite a few fashions — dozens of pages.

And he actually saw a dedicated page signed by Li Ruanyu.

It's essentially her personal shop.

Click in, and there's a whole page full of fashions.

Most are women's clothing, of course — all sorts of positions and styles.
