Chapter 1317

~7 min read 1,303 words

Originally, the female armor had some curves, perfectly showcasing their figures.

But after so many shields and weapons stacked on top, it had completely turned into a lump of iron.

You couldn't tell the figure at all anymore.

But that didn't matter at all.

What mattered most was being the final victor.

During the short 7 days Zhao Chi spent crafting, the experience fruits once again had a bumper harvest of 122,000.

The flour harvest was 1,000 tons.

Most of it came from Penglai Village, over 700 tons.

Another portion came from Chaoge Village, over 200 tons.

This was also Chaoge Village's first bumper harvest.

Going forward, Chaoge Village's output would get higher and higher; it was estimated that in just one month, it could completely surpass Penglai.

This time Zhao Chi increased the sales volume.

He sold all 1,000 tons of flour, along with 100,000 experience fruits, to the Zhao family.

The Zhao family, as always, took everything.

And they paid very readily.

Su Qin had already come over, personally delivering this batch of gold coins to Zhao Chi.

"Zhao Chi, you've really struck it rich."

A full 4,500 gold coins were placed in the trade column.

Now Zhao Chi only had 11 gold coins left.

With these 4,500 gold coins, Zhao Chi was back in the game again.

Zhao Chi accepted happily: "How about it? Did Third Brother and Fourth Brother say anything?"

Su Qin shook her head.

"They didn't say anything. Third Brother didn't believe it at first, so he had me confirm three times that it was indeed 100,000 experience fruits. Then he called Second Uncle over."

"Huh? Second Uncle came?"

"Mm, Second Uncle came very quickly. He was extremely delighted, and he assured me that no matter how many there were, they would take them all, and told me to rest assured that they would keep it confidential. It's just that Second Uncle said the clan's cash might not be enough later on, and hoped to offset it with goods."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Offsetting with goods is fine. What kind? Bloodlines?"

Su Qin shook her head: "Second Uncle didn't say it outright. He just said to offset with goods, and told me to ask Third Brother for the list next time, and just exchange for whatever catches my eye."

"That works too, I suppose."

"Mm, and Second Uncle told me to ask you on his behalf — he wants to ask if they can resell them?"

Zhao Chi was taken aback: "Second Uncle knows these are my goods?"

"No." Su Qin waved her hand: "Second Uncle meant for me to ask the master behind it all — isn't that you?"

"Oh…" Zhao Chi sighed: "Sure, they can resell however they like. Since I've sold it to them, whatever they want to do with it is their business."

On the grain side, 10 copper coins per kilogram might leave a tiny profit margin, but definitely not much.

He estimated the Zhao family had focused their attention on the experience fruits.

Zhao Chi had set the experience fruit price at 3.5 silver coins each, based on the usual market fluctuation of 2 to 5 silver coins.

If the Zhao family sold them at 4 silver coins, or even 4.5 silver coins, they should still be able to sell them.

But that was none of Zhao Chi's concern.

After all, if Zhao Chi sold them himself, he would have to bear the risk himself.

But having the Zhao family clan sell them was clearly much more reasonable.

Moreover, once the Zhao family could sell them in large volumes, Zhao Chi's subsequent larger quantities of experience fruits could also be sold to the Zhao family in bulk.

Overall, it was much more cost-effective than Zhao Chi selling them himself.

Just treat the Zhao family as a channel distributor.

And relying solely on internal consumption within the Zhao family, the quantity would always be limited.

Now, by letting the Zhao family make a profit, the customers would be the entire Breaking World Army.

Zhao Chi still knew the basics of the difference between retail and distribution.

The Zhao family being able to make money and develop was also a good thing for Zhao Chi.

Su Qin said: "Understood. Then I'll go reply to Second Uncle now — he's still waiting for my word."

Zhao Chi laughed: "I bet they're already wanting to go sell this batch of 100,000 experience fruits."

A moment later.

Su Qin laughed: "Second Uncle is very happy. He told me to thank this master of yours."

"What master am I? I actually have another task for you."

"Huh? Oh, sure, go ahead."

"Help me look into whether there are any standardized modifications similar to super-heavy armor."

"Super-heavy?" Su Qin pursed her lips and thought for a moment: "You mean the kind in the armory, modifications that can change the thickness and size of equipment?"

"Right."

"There probably aren't modifications like that, right? That falls under the technology category, unless you unlock the armory in advance."

"Is there an armory tech book?"

"Yes, there is."

"There is?" Zhao Chi was pleasantly surprised: "Where?"

Su Qin laughed: "Of course it's at the Quartermaster's Office. Didn't you see it last time?"

"The military supply office has it?"

Zhao Chi hadn't even looked in this direction last time.

After all, there were all kinds of supplies — far too many to take in at a glance.

Zhao Chi had only looked at the parts that interested him.

Su Qin smiled and said, "Of course there is. I think it takes about 350 contribution points to unlock it. Do you want it?"

Zhao Chi only had 1 contribution point left now.

Zhao Chi sighed and said, "I want it, but I don't have the contribution points. Are you guys going on a team mission tomorrow? How many contribution points is it worth?"

Su Qin smiled and said, "Why do you ask? Want to earn contributions through missions? Too slow. Besides, I already have 350 contribution points. Why don't I just buy it for you? Why go far when help is close? Last time I only bought the Gale Arrow blueprint and saved the rest of my contributions."

Zhao Chi wanted to refuse.

But he was very tempted…

Then…

Should he just take the easy way out again?

Su Qin giggled and said, "Seeing that look on your face, I know exactly what's going on. I'll buy it for you in a bit. But tomorrow we're going to raid a demonic beast camp, so I won't be able to keep you company for a while — I have to go discuss tactics with them. I'll come find you after we finish the fight tomorrow."

Zhao Chi nodded. "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. I really need this military factory."

"Hehe, that's right — don't stand on ceremony with me. I'm heading out now, I'll bring it to you in a bit."

"Wait a moment."

Zhao Chi grabbed Su Qin's hand.

"What? You want to come along?"

"No." Zhao Chi shook his head and said, "Which camp are you attacking tomorrow? Has it been decided?"

"Yes, it's the Night Demon camp."

"Night Demon camp? What level?"

"Town-level, a small town-level one. If it were any bigger, our losses would be huge. But a small town-level raid is enough to meet our entire group's mission target for this month."

"Night Demons get a boost at night, so you're attacking during the day tomorrow?"

"Yes, it's tentatively set for 11 a. m. tomorrow, with an estimated combat time of two to three hours."

"I'll go too."

Su Qin was taken aback.

Then she shrieked, "Eh?! You're going too?"

"Is that okay?"

"Of course it's okay! If you come, we can take almost no losses at all."
