Chapter 1311
"I'm sorry, Mr., this kind of item is a restricted-grade item, so our Exchange can't trade it."
"Restricted-grade item?" Zhao Chi hadn't expected that kind of answer.
Su Qin asked, "Is this kind of item contraband? But the Quartermaster Division can exchange for it?"
The staff member smiled and said, "Yes, it's a restricted-grade item, but not contraband, so it can be exchanged at the Quartermaster Division. If you want to sell it, you can also go to the Quartermaster Division. But at the Exchange, it's not allowed."
No wonder.
No wonder he'd never seen this kind of item before — turns out it was military-use only?
Zhao Chi knew items were graded, but he wasn't very clear on the specific list.
It seemed those Voice Transmission Talismans, Efficiency Guidebooks, and so on all belonged to similar items.
Zhao Chi silently walked out of the Exchange.
He was considering whether to go.
After all, the Quartermaster Division and the Exchange didn't seem to be institutions of the same level.
He was just afraid the people at the Quartermaster Division would ask all sorts of questions.
But just going to ask around, it probably wouldn't be a big deal.
Even if he really sold a few, it probably wouldn't matter.
"Let's go, Su Qin, to the Quartermaster Division."
Su Qin asked, "Do you want me to step in? Go in front of you?"
Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Not bad, you as my agent are quite self-aware, but not this time."
They hailed a Spirit Energy Vehicle, and the two of them headed west all the way.
They arrived outside the gates of the Seventh Academy.
The Spirit Energy Vehicle could only drive this far.
Zhao Chi and Su Qin got out of the vehicle and headed straight for the Quartermaster Division.
Today's Quartermaster Division was clearly much less crowded than when the commendation ceremony had just ended.
At that time, everyone had received reward contribution points and had all come to exchange them.
Now there were hardly any people.
No need to even queue.
Zhao Chi came to a window and got straight to the point.
"Hello, I'd like to ask — can this Craftsman's Insight be sold?"
"Mm, yes, just register here, and I'll send the template to your system."
It actually works?
And very smoothly at that.
Since there weren't many customers now, the staff member very patiently explained things to Zhao Chi.
Zhao Chi listened for a while.
He asked doubtfully, "Only being able to sell for contribution points is no problem, but you have to hand over 50%? That's that high?"
The staff member nodded and said, "Yes, because this is a military restricted item, not an ordinary item, so the surrender ratio is very high — this is also a rule set by our higher-ups."
Zhao Chi asked again, "And the contribution points from the sale can't be changed either? It has to be 200 points?"
"Yes, this price is also a fixed price, equivalent to our World-Breaking Army's guide price."
Zhao Chi hesitated: "Then I… won't sell it after all."
The staff member smiled and said, "That's fine. Actually, even if you can't go to the Exchange, you can still trade privately — that's much more convenient and flexible."
Zhao Chi was taken aback.
He hadn't expected this staff member to actually say something like that?
Could he really say something like that?
The staff member continued, "However, this kind of behavior isn't encouraged — best not to make a big show of it. Circulating them among close friends and family is still no problem."
Zhao Chi reminded him, "You're on duty right now, and saying this here at the Quartermaster Division — is it really okay?"
The staff member smiled and said, "Don't worry, we're not that stuffy, and no one can control what people do privately. Of course, if you're willing to give 50% to the official World-Breaking Army, we'd also be very grateful for your contribution."
Zhao Chi asked, "Then the products in our exchange list — are they all sold by craftsmen at 50% contribution points?"
"That's right, all of them. But there's another benefit — we do purchases, not consignment sales, so as long as you confirm the sale, we'll pay you the contribution points immediately, rather than waiting until after it's sold."
"Understood. Then I'll sell all 5 of these Tailoring Insights."
"You actually have 5? That's quite a few — I'll register them for you right away."
Zhao Chi was also a little hesitant.
But on second thought, 5 Master-level Insights were only 1000 contribution points.
And Zhao Chi would only get 500 contribution points — not that many.
A single racial bloodline was also over 1000 points.
These 5 Master-level Insights were indeed not few, but they still hadn't reached the level of drawing attention.
Zhao Chi said, "Do we also have Efficiency Guidebooks?"
"Yes, the quantity of Efficiency Guidebooks is very small, but you're in luck — a batch just arrived yesterday, and there are still 5 left. How many do you need?"
Zhao Chi had 177 contribution points left before.
Now with the 500 contribution points earned, that's 677 in total.
"I need 3, and then give me 38 Voice Transmission Talismans."
"Alright, then you'll need to pay an additional 176 contribution points."
"Okay."
The exchange was completed quickly.
Only 1 contribution point remained.
The remaining 30 Grandmaster-level insights could no longer be sold.
Otherwise, it would draw attention.
He could take out 10 of these and give them to Su Qin, letting him go find Zhao Cang to exchange for gold coins and see how much they were worth.
Although private transactions were not legal, from what that staff member had said, it fell into the category of "if the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate."
As for the rest, he'd hold onto them for now.
If it really came down to it, he'd just use them himself.
After leaving the Quartermaster's Office, the two both returned to Su Qin's territory.
Those 500 tons of flour and 10,000 experience fruits had already all been transported over.
Zhao Chi took out another 5 Grandmaster-level Blacksmith insights and 5 Grandmaster-level Tailor insights, handing them to Su Qin and asking her to inquire about the situation.
Su Qin nodded: "So we're just asking first to see how many gold coins we can exchange for, right?"
"Yes, or we don't have to take gold coins either — bartering is fine too. The main thing is exchanging for Speed-Worker Talismans."
"Got it, I'll head out right now."
"Alright, I'm heading back to Penglai Town too. Contact me by voice message if anything comes up."
"Okay~"
Su Qin vanished, and Zhao Chi also returned to Penglai.
Nowadays, Penglai Town was getting livelier and livelier.
Especially at the training ground — fireballs whistled through the air one after another, smashing into the distant dirt mounds and exploding into bursts of flame.
Zhuang Ya was directing things outside the field.
She was very busy these days.
On one hand, she was responsible for converting prisoners every day; on the other, she was training these 50 newly class-changed Fire Mages.
These Fire Mages didn't have fashion sets yet, but each of them had a Spirit Energy Stone.
This was equivalent to increasing their spiritual power cap by 100 points.
Enough to release 10 more fireballs.
That was quite a bit of help.
All 10 female physicians were watching the battling female soldiers.
Whenever they saw someone injured, they immediately went over to heal — very proactive.
The other 10 female physicians were at Chaoge Village.
The female soldiers and Zhuang Ya were responsible for roasting and acupuncture on the prisoners, while these female physicians handled treating their wounds — they all coordinated closely.
