Chapter 1464

【Load Capacity】450 kg

【Movement Speed】+35%

【Terrain】+35%

Not bad at all.

Such a small handcart can actually carry half a ton of cargo.

And the speed and terrain adaptability are this high too.

Zhao Chi pushed the cart straight out the door.

Just as he had guessed, the movement speed bonus of this wooden cart had nothing to do with the person pushing it.

It could only increase the cart's movement speed, not the person's.

With a light push from Zhao Chi, the little cart immediately rolled forward nimbly.

Zhao Chi didn't feel the slightest resistance or difficulty in pushing it.

The ground was a bit uneven, but the cart was very steady.

There clearly wasn't any shock absorption device, yet it could still achieve this kind of effect?

Zhao Chi gave it another push, then let go.

The wooden cart sped forward, only stopping when it crashed into a building more than ten meters away.

Truly not bad.

Qi Yue 【my lord, this little cart is really nimble, and the noise is much smaller than ordinary carts too】

Zhao Chi 【Not bad, right?】

Qi Yue 【Not bad, my lord, you're really amazing】

Zhao Chi 【Save that line for tonight. Push the cart over to Song Yun and the others. I'm going out for a bit. When I get back, we'll start producing this kind of cart】

Qi Yue 【Okay】

Soon, Zhao Chi left Qi Yue's side.

He contacted Zhao Cang directly.

Zhao Chi 【Third Brother, it's settled. 6,000 Golden Sandalwood logs, 46 silver coins each, I want them all!】

Zhao Cang 【Good, I'll talk to Zhao Jing and have him start logging】

Zhao Chi 【Thanks, Third Brother】

Zhao Cang 【Don't be so polite with me】

Zhao Chi 【Is it convenient for me to come over now? Open a permission for me, I'll give you the money】

Zhao Cang 【……It's a bit chaotic here right now, but it's fine, come on over】

Timber and trees are not the same thing.

Felling a large tree might break down into many pieces of timber.

But a small tree might not even yield a single piece of timber.

The Golden Sandalwood trees in Zhao Jing's territory were all large trees; felling a few hundred would probably yield what Zhao Chi needed.

46 silver coins per Golden Sandalwood log, 6,000 logs came to 2,760 gold coins.

Zhao Chi had over ten thousand gold coins, more than enough to pay.

Filling his system space with gold coins, Zhao Chi teleported over.

Zhao Cang's place had changed again.

Large numbers of warehouses were lined up neatly on both sides of the main road.

But the main road itself was already piled high with stacks of supplies and equipment.

When Zhao Chi arrived, there was barely anywhere to step.

Porters one after another beside him kept transporting goods nonstop.

Soon, Zhao Chi spotted a frazzled Zhao Cang not far away.

Zhao Chi laughed and said: "Third Brother, why is it that every time I come here, you're this busy? If you can't handle it, talk to the Clan Head and get someone else to share the load."

Zhao Cang sighed:

"I've said it several times already… but our family doesn't have many people. The elders are all combat types, so they definitely can't be put in charge. The aunts are all busy with their own work and can't spare the time either.

"Big Brother is gone now, so in our generation it's Second Brother holding things up, and Fourth Brother manages the money. We can't hand the supplies to him too—if everything were concentrated on his side, the risk would be too great. If something happened to him, our whole family's money and goods would be done for.

"Fifth Brother is also in charge of making the high-toughness gauntlets, so we can't give it to him either. The younger brothers are either combat types too, or still too young.

"Handing it to outsiders wouldn't put my mind at ease either, so it can only be me.

"But it's fine, it's only busy for a while after each battle. After these few days pass, all these supplies can be distributed, and then it'll be easy."

He spoke with great resignation.

But the facts were indeed as he said.

Zhao Chi nodded: "Still, this way of distributing things in our family is a bit more efficient. It just means you have it tougher."

Zhao Cang laughed: "Yeah, but it's fine. As long as our family can keep getting better and better in the future, that's all that matters."

Zhao Chi initiated the trade process: "Then I won't take up more of your time. Here's the payment, accept it."

Zhao Cang didn't accept the process, but said: "Dengwoyi Society, my system space is full. Let me pull some stuff out."

Soon, Zhao Cang pulled out all kinds of items and tossed them on the ground.

"All right."

Zhao Chi immediately sent the gold coins over.

Zhao Cang said: "Just contact Zhao Jing directly. Have him give you however many he has first. I won't keep you any longer."

Zhao Chi nodded and returned to his territory.

He hadn't contacted Zhao Jing yet, but Zhao Jing had taken the initiative to send a message.

Zhao Jing 【Not bad, Zhao Chi — Third Brother actually agreed to sell you 6,000 of them? How did you negotiate with him? You definitely didn't buy them at a high price, right?】

The matter of Zhao Chi selling large quantities of grain to the Zhao family was known only to a small number of people, just like the earlier surplus of fire oil.

Zhao Jing was unaware of these matters.

Zhao Chi 【That's a secret, but Fifth Brother, you actually didn't screw me over this time?】

Zhao Jing 【What kind of talk is that? When have I ever screwed you over? I only have 4,500 in stock right now; the remaining 1,500 can only be given to you by tomorrow evening】

Zhao Chi 【That's fine, can I send someone over to transport them now?】

Zhao Jing 【Come on over, I've opened the permissions for you】

Song Yun's transport team was going all out to haul the spoils of war.

But sharpening the knife does not delay the work of cutting wood.

Zhao Chi had them prioritize transporting the Golden Sandalwood; once brought back, it was placed in the carpenter shop's courtyard, and he and Qi Yue thoroughly buried themselves in the carpenter shop and refused to come out.

Very soon, the medium-sized super-improved wooden cart was also completed.

Its attributes were even better.

【Name】All-Terrain Overload Speed Transport Cart

【Specification】Medium

【Durability】2,500 points

【Full Load】3 tons

【Cargo Capacity】2.4 tons

【Movement Speed】+20%

【Terrain】+20%

The medium wooden cart could already haul 3 tons of cargo.

Moreover, its movement speed and terrain adaptability were both excellent — all positive bonuses.

Zhao Chi used Qi Yue's body to give it a push, and there was still no resistance at all? It could be pushed easily?

After all, it was empty now, so let's try loading it full of cargo.

Very soon, using materials on the spot, they loaded the lumber in the carpenter shop's courtyard into a full cart.

Pushing it again at this point, there was indeed resistance.

But it was still very small.

The strength expended was actually about the same as an ordinary small wooden cart?

It only required a bit of effort at the very start, but not much.

Once the speed picked up, it barely cost any effort at all.
