Chapter 1256

Zhao Chi 【Haha, come on! But I'm too dizzy right now, let's do it after I wake up from a nap.】

Zhuang Ya 【That's more like it.】

Zhuang Ya seemed to have had an epiphany.

Once that string was plucked, she truly became proactive.

And looking at the data, Zhao Chi was, for her, absolute true love.

For a man like this, her being so proactive now was completely understandable.

Of course Zhao Chi wouldn't refuse her—at least not at a time like this.

And although she had a new channel, she still couldn't last very long.

Just satisfying her was enough.

Another 6 production cycles passed.

Until 7 o'clock the next morning.

The original plan was 7 production loops, but only 6 were completed.

And the 6 loops should have originally ended at 4 a. m., but they dragged on all the way to 7.

The extra 3 hours were naturally spent on Zhuang Ya.

It might have been because it was her first time being completely alone with Zhao Chi, so she was especially proactive.

But almost every cycle, Zhuang Ya would wake up early and clean herself up.

Then… begin!

One more production or one less production made little difference now.

Zhao Chi also complied with her every time.

And he also discovered something.

Every time Zhuang Ya collapsed, her face would be flushed crimson, utterly enchanting.

Before, Zhao Chi had thought she was blushing out of extreme embarrassment.

But this time, Zhao Chi noticed a clue.

Her blushing certainly had a component of shyness in it.

But Zhao Chi discovered that her morale had risen!

That was strange.

By common sense, morale drops when one feels ashamed.

Yet hers had risen?

Why was that?

She didn't have Tang Ruan's masochistic preference, but rather a sadistic one.

Sadistic preference…

So… her morale rose because she was being sadistic?

When was she being sadistic?

To whom was she being sadistic?

Poking me?

Zhao Chi gazed at his own legs, lost in thought.

Could it be because of this?

Does that count as sadism?

Although it seemed unbelievable, it was the only explanation.

After all, this really could be considered a form of sadism…

So in this situation, she could both happily gain energy points and satisfy her talent's requirement?

So that's how it is…

Not very useful, but a small discovery.

"What's wrong? Why did you stop?"

Zhuang Ya turned her head with a flushed face.

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Nothing, seeing that you can also enjoy yourself now makes me very happy too."

"Why are you suddenly saying things like that?"

"Nothing, get ready, the storm is coming!"

"Wait! Give me a moment! Let me steady myself first!"

After 6 production cycles, Zhao Chi had produced a total of 250 iron Chengying two-handed Fengming blades, and 200 iron Chengying Zhuiyue spears.

The Zhuiyue spears were sufficient, but the Fengming blades were still 40 short, and none of the armor had been improved yet.

He did not produce any steel or refined iron weapons.

Because ordinary iron two-handed blades and iron spears were already available, they could be directly improved, saving half the time.

The current goal was to get the equipment made and equipped as quickly as possible—speed and quantity mattered, not quality.

Once everyone was fully equipped, he could slowly make steel or refined iron versions.

But there shouldn't be any major events in the near future.

Even if something happened, it wouldn't be the turn of the "lowly" Zhao Chi.

He should be able to develop properly for a while.

It was now 7 o'clock.

Today at 9 o'clock, a commendation ceremony would be held in the conference hall next to the central plaza.

But Zhao Chi wanted to head to the Exchange first.

Today was the third day since the occupation of Copper Rock Town, and the vast majority of supplies with identity restrictions had already been opened up to the Commandant level.

So Zhao Chi arranged to go together with Su Qin to take a look.

Moreover, the spoils of war from Zhao Chi's territory, as well as the spoils he had previously asked Su Qin to sell on his behalf, were also basically sold out.

Zhao Chi wasn't trying to make money, so the prices were quite fair.

Apart from a small portion that Su Qin took a fancy to and picked out for herself, everything else was sold out completely.

This included about 17,000 pieces of damaged iron equipment, and about 16,000 pieces of tattered, filthy, hole-ridden leather equipment.

A total of 1,158 gold coins was earned.

Still pretty good.

Zhao Chi still hadn't returned that 280 gold coins to Su Qin for the time being.

It wasn't that he didn't want to pay her back; it was that Su Qin refused.

"Aiya, no need for now. Aren't you heading to the Exchange? What if you see something good and want to buy it? Just give me whatever's left after you've finished browsing the Exchange."

Zhao Chi could only nod in agreement.

There were far fewer people at the Exchange today.

Although there was still a queue, it was much better than the cramped conditions before.

Over 1,100 gold coins wasn't a small sum, but it couldn't buy anything too good.

Zhao Chi only bought all of the racial improvement tomes and the technological improvement tomes.

A total of 22 racial improvement tomes and 19 technological improvement tomes, costing 265 gold coins altogether.

Not cheap either.

Especially since a few were listed at very high prices, all exceeding 15 gold coins.

But Zhao Chi still bought them.

Because for him, these were essential.

So he didn't care about the gold coins.

With both kinds of improvement tomes in hand,

Zhao Chi activated them directly.

He obtained a total of 45 racial improvement points and 39 technological improvement points.

There were some other decent things, but he had no use for them right now.

And there were plenty of other good items, but they were too expensive.

The bulk of the offerings, as always, was all kinds of damaged equipment and various captives.

Then he'd just hold onto the money for now.
