Chapter 1438

Wei Li looked puzzled: "No way? Then are you a member of another squad?"

"Not that either. I'm just an ordinary member of the Green Bamboo Squad."

"An ordinary member? Li Ruanyu won't let you be squad leader? Want me to help you get an introduction? Our Captain Shangguan is a really good person and really values newcomers with strength. If you come to our side, she'll definitely make you squad leader."

"That's really not necessary…"

"Don't worry. Captain Shangguan won't have any opinion of you just because you're from the Jade Squad. She only values strength and doesn't care about anything else."

"It's not because of that… When did you come over here?"

Wei Li said: "I just arrived the day before yesterday. Before that I was always at Jin Sha Village. Aren't we about to make a move soon? So they transferred all of us over too."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Sounds like it's no small move."

Wei Li nodded: "Yeah, but right now no information has been revealed at all. Let's add each other as friends. Last time we only had a quick fight, and then war broke out. I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to still be alive."

"Sure…"

"What's your combat power now?"

Wei Li sent a friend request.

Zhao Chi clicked accept and checked his own combat power estimate.

【Name】Zhao Chi

【Combat Power】1114

That high?

Zhao Chi had always set up Taoyuan Village according to the scale of an ordinary lord.

The proportion of soldiers was ordinary.

But now every soldier had a full set of super-improved equipment. One set of Mystic Maiden Battle Armor alone represented 5 super-improved pieces of armor.

Add weapons and shields, plus super-improved fashion, and the soldiers' average score was much higher than before.

The remaining craftsmen also all had super-improved fashion, and everyone's loyalty was extremely high.

Now Zhao Chi couldn't suppress the score even if he wanted to.

Unless he reassigned all the female soldiers to Penglai Town and set Taoyuan Village entirely to craftsmen.

That way the combat power could still be suppressed.

But there was no need.

His own strength was far above these 1114 points, so revealing this combat power didn't matter.

"My combat power is 1114 points." Zhao Chi told the truth.

Wei Li raised an eyebrow: "Oh? How is your combat power also over 1000? Looks like you've improved quite a bit these days too."

"Oh, you're also over 1000 points?"

"Of course. My combat power now is 1125 points, 11 points higher than yours. Sorry about that."

Wei Li looked pleased with herself.

Pleased was good — better than a cold face.

"Oh, no worries." Zhao Chi smiled and nodded.

"…If we fight one more time, you definitely won't beat me."

Wei Li stretched out a finger, pointing at Zhao Chi.

"Yes, yes, yes, I can't beat you." Zhao Chi went along with her words.

"Huh?" Wei Li's pleased expression turned to puzzlement: "…I'm currently the squad leader of the Reserve Squad — Liuli Squad."

"Oh oh oh, impressive."

Wei Li's puzzled expression turned to annoyance again.

She hmphed: "Hmph, I was going to catch up, but I didn't expect you to be so perfunctory. Forget it then. Goodbye."

Zhao Chi laughed: "Alright, alright, goodbye, goodbye."

After saying that, Zhao Chi instantly teleported back to his territory.

Wei Li stared blankly at Zhao Chi's spot, where only air remained.

"What a bastard…"

Wei Li said resentfully.

After returning to his territory, Zhao Chi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Li's cold voice really did sound like Shangguan Ting suppressing her anger.

Added to the fact that Zhao Chi had always been ready to use his energy at any moment.

So at that moment just now, Zhao Chi had almost instinctively used a skill.

He hadn't expected it to be a misunderstanding.

But fortunately the misunderstanding was cleared up afterward.

Wei Li had taken the initiative to add him as a friend and to catch up. It seemed the misunderstanding had been resolved quite well.

The only substantive cost was the experience fruits.

But those experience fruits didn't matter at all, and the Zhao family had already sold them on the exchange before, so it wasn't much of a secret.

Besides, the name shown on the experience fruits was just "Experience Fruit."

Only the seeds would have the words "High-Yield Fast-Ripening Experience Fruit."

It didn't matter at all.

No problem.

Although Wei Li seemed to want to catch up afterward, Zhao Chi still had quite a few things to do and really didn't have time to catch up with this woman he'd only met in one battle.

Added to the fact that Wei Li's competitive streak was too strong, and her previous impression on him wasn't that great, Zhao Chi didn't want to have too much interaction with her either.

So Zhao Chi had always been thinking about how to leave.

Fortunately, she took the initiative to say goodbye.

The Phantom Squad...

He hoped he wouldn't have to deal with anyone from that squad again in the future.

Just as he was thinking this, he noticed quite a few Flower Demons and Ratfolk nearby.

There were also unfamiliar players chatting with Gu Qing.

And Gu Qing... was in full combat gear.

Much the same as when she went out.

Soon, that player left. Gu Qing said something to the female soldier beside her, and that female soldier immediately vanished, along with the Flower Demons and Ratfolk nearby.

They must have gone to Chaoge Village.

Zhao Chi walked over with a smile: "Wrapped up so tightly, even I almost didn't recognize you."

Gu Qing gave a charming smile: "Hehe, I was afraid I'd still have to go out and handle things for you in the future, so I tried to keep others from seeing me."

Zhao Chi shook his head: "Actually it's fine... but this works too. How many Flower Demons and Ratfolk have you recruited in total now?"

"A total of 430 Flower Demons and 245 Ratfolk."

"Oh, this time I purchased 1,800 Flower Demons and 640 Ratfolk. It will probably take some time before they can all be delivered. Just hand this matter over to someone else to handle."

Gu Qing said in surprise: "My lord, you bought this many? Adding it all together, we have 2,000 Flower Demons and 1,000 Ratfolk now?"

"That's right."

"Wow~ With this, the burden on the Gu Yan Squad can really be lightened quite a bit. The Ratfolk can clear land, till soil, turn the earth, and so on. The Flower Demons can help with planting, harvesting, watering, weeding, and so on. They're very useful for agriculture."

"Exactly, and this way we can develop the remaining land in Chaoge Village even faster."

While they were talking, someone else teleported over.

Bringing along over a hundred bound Flower Demons.

That person, upon seeing Zhao Chi, saluted and said: "My lord, my lord sent me to deliver 214 Flower Demons to you. Here is the information list, please check and receive it."

"Good, thank you for your trouble."

"You're welcome. I'll head back then. If you need anything, you can contact us directly through the Exchange. Goodbye."

That person vanished in an instant, leaving only the 214 Flower Demons behind.

Gu Qing looked over and said to the female soldier beside her: "Take them to Chaoge Village as well, and call Captain Yang Lu over to take my place. I'm going over there to start taming these little things."

Soon, Yang Lu arrived.

Gu Qing handed over the matter of receiving the captives to Yang Lu, then entered Chaoge Village.

Right after that, Su Qin also arrived here.

The moment she arrived, she saw Zhao Chi.
