Chapter 1376

Fortunately, though, they were all beautiful-looking female elves.

So after Zhao Chi's Inspiration Art, morale skyrocketed, and critical hits rose sharply as well.

There was also the boost from the Enlargement Art, which made those 150 female elves grow larger.

Although attack speed dropped, Su Qin's Energy-Gathering Arrow and Power Shot were both damage-type skills, so a slightly slower attack speed didn't matter much.

After growing larger, the additional attack further strengthened these two skills.

Attack multiplied several times over, critical hits also increased greatly, and with the two powerful offensive skills unleashed, Su Qin's arrow formation was no longer an arrow formation.

It was a cannon formation.

The arrows didn't shoot the Shi Laimu — they bombarded them.

Therefore, part of Su Qin's battle contribution was counted toward Zhao Chi.

So they only got 8% of the combat contribution.

But this 8% contribution could still be split into over a million experience points.

That was quite decent.

The loot was very neatly arranged.

All whole numbers.

350,000 portions of food, which was actually 350 tons.

Normally, that would be enough to feed 10,000 people for one month.

Moreover, these 350 tons of food were very varied — staples, meat, vegetables, fruits, fish and shrimp, eggs and dairy — everything was included.

And they all looked very fresh at a glance.

Meals could be improved now.

If still calculated roughly at 10 copper coins per kilogram, this food was worth 350 gold coins.

It could offset the cost of the medicines the female soldiers had consumed.

When establishing a new territory, if no resources were chosen, all kinds of basic resources added together came to about 15,000 units.

However, everyone would choose some resources, more or less.

For example, timber, animals (to obtain fur), wild herbs and medicinal plants, and so on.

Added together, it came to nearly 20,000 units.

In this batch of loot, there were a total of 350,000 basic resources, equivalent to the combined resources of 17-18 small village-level territories.

Apart from timber, Zhao Chi's territory had basically not started mining any of the other resources yet.

Previously, he had intended to keep them as strategic reserves.

But looking at it now, it seemed unnecessary...

The quantity of these resources was very large.

Although they were basic resources, once the quantity was large, the price became very high.

Basic resource prices fluctuated quite a bit; roughly estimated, these resources were worth about 1,500-2,000 gold coins.

Not a small amount either.

3,500 portions of rare resources — Zhao Chi could use half of them, and the other half was for making medicine, alchemy, or other uses.

Zhao Chi wasn't short on money, so for now he could keep them all.

These rare resources were worth roughly 500-1,000 gold coins.

In other words, from this single battle, just counting these resources, there was a material income of about 2,800 gold coins in value.

The equipment and medicines Zhao Chi lost were worth over 1,500 gold coins.

Those super-modified pieces of equipment were all made by Zhao Chi himself, so only the cost needed to be counted.

If purchased on the market, this battle's losses would absolutely exceed 2,500 gold coins.

So choosing the right opponent was very important.

Even if you could defeat the enemy, you still had to consider the losses.

Sometimes even winning meant taking a loss.

That's why although the Zhao family was much weaker than the Xiao family before, the Xiao family didn't dare easily break ties and go to war with the Zhao family.

Because even if they won, the Xiao family's strength would definitely drop by a large chunk.

Other families might well take advantage of the situation to plunder.

Among the loot, there was actually only 1 Primal Shi Laimu bloodline.

The rewards he had obtained from destroying the nest — such as World Stones, territory traits, etc. — did not appear in this loot list.

It seemed these all belonged to non-standard loot.

The final surprise was that his talent had advanced again.

【Talent】 Lady Master

【Grade】 S-rank, Growable

【Effect】 1: When using skills on friendly females, effect +80%.

【Effect】 2: When using skills on friendly opposite-sex targets, each point of Appearance attribute grants +20% effect.

It had already advanced to S-rank.

But looking at the skill's information, it still said Growable.

This meant S-rank wasn't the limit — there seemed to be room for further advancement.

Normally, the Lady Master talent was a B-rank talent.

And Effect 2 would reduce skill effect on males by 40%.

After Zhao Chi transferred a new effect through Zhao Chi's sutra, the skill's rank suddenly shot up.

Looks like the next advancement will bump me up to S+ rank.

Female Expert gives a 150% boost against female soldiers.

Now that I've advanced to Female Master, the boost against female soldiers goes up to 200%.

From now on, skills like Multiplication, Inspiration, and Bitter Wind Step will all perform even better.

It really does count as an S-rank talent.

"Zhao Chi, why are you spacing out? What are you thinking about?"

Su Qin asked softly.

Zhao Chi smiled: "Nothing, I just didn't expect to get so much experience."

Su Qin sighed: "Don't even mention experience — even these battle ratings are the first time I've ever seen them. Today really feels like a dream. There have been too many shocks already; I'm almost getting used to it."

"Did you level up?"

"Of course I leveled up. With this much experience, how could I not?"

"What level are you now?"

"Level 37 now. Thanks to your Experience Fruit and Goddess Sleepwear, otherwise I'd probably only be at 36."

"No need to be polite. We should split the loot now — take a look and tell me what you need."

"No need. We barely did anything, yet we still got so much experience — it feels like we got it for free. And after you turn in the quest, I'll get another 124 contribution points, which is several times more than what we earned from that camp yesterday."

"Don't waste time, or I'll 'work you over' for two hours tonight. Hurry up — what do you want?"

"You… you want to work me to death? Honestly…" Su Qin huffed.

She thought for a moment, then said: "I don't need any of that. Could you give me five more outfits? Some of our outfits lost durability in the last fight, and we don't have many left."

"No problem at all. Anything else?"

"Nothing else. Those five outfits are already worth a lot, and I don't have any use for anything else."

"Alright, I'll give you ten. Come find me anytime they wear out."

"Hehe, okay."

This time Su Qin didn't refuse — looks like she really did want the outfits.

After all, the stats are too strong.

After a brief chat, Su Qin returned to Clear Bamboo Town to rest.

Her arm would probably need several more sleeps to fully recover.

"My lord, my lord."

Tang Ruan saw Su Qin leave and immediately bounded over.

Her eyes narrowed into slits, as if she had some happy news.

"What's up, Tang Ruan? Why are you so happy?"
