Chapter 1486

The female slaves given to Su Qin earlier have all recovered well; many have joined Su Qin's territory, and most have changed class to craftsmen, with a few already promoted to senior craftsmen — a good归宿 for them.

As for the other captive craftsmen, there are also some mid- and high-level ones.

Zhao Chi had actually hesitated, but after thinking it over, decided to give them to Su Qin first.

After all, even senior craftsmen don't mean much to him.

Su Qin is his person anyway; if he needs them later, he can just ask for them back.

Then let Su Qin bring people over.

Zhao Chi 【Su Qin, got a moment? Come to Taoyuan Village, bring 100 people】

Su Qin 【Huh? What's wrong? Are you in danger? I'm coming right now!】

Before Zhao Chi could explain, Su Qin and her several hundred female elves had already arrived.

Upon arriving, she immediately drew her bow and scanned left and right.

But what she saw was a helpless-looking Zhao Chi and Gu Qing covering her mouth as she laughed.

Su Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me, I thought something happened to you."

Zhao Chi was also helpless.

Today he'd been misunderstood twice in a row.

Going to Li Ruanyu's side, her subordinates thought he was an invader; now Su Qin also mistook him for being invaded.

Zhao Chi sighed: "Forget it, the captives are over there, go pick them."

Su Qin smiled: "Picking captives? You don't have to bother in the future, just pick them out for me and send them over, I'm under you anyway."

Zhao Chi thought that made sense too.

"Then don't pick. Take all the mid- and senior-level craftsmen, 223 in total, and those 23 heroes are yours too, absorb them gradually."

"That many? Okay."

Su Qin didn't know the details of Zhao Chi's battle this time.

She thought these were all of Zhao Chi's captives; if she knew Zhao Chi had just sent off 7,710 werewolves, her big eyes would pop out again.

Zhao Chi asked: "How did this battle go? Anything good?"

Su Qin shook her head: "Nothing too good, those werewolves all exploded, no equipment gains. Only a few hundred werewolf captives, but they're all vicious, being held now, don't know how much they'll sell for. But the gold coins this time were quite a lot, I directly got over 200 gold. Other than that, nothing much, some common items, do you want them?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "No need, didn't lose money, did you?"

Su Qin smiled: "Of course we didn't lose, adding the basic resources and all that miscellaneous stuff, we made quite a bit, hehe."

"That's good, how much grain do you still need over there? How many days will it last?"

"About enough for 20-something more days."

"What's the daily consumption?"

"About 3.5 tons."

"Got it, I'm harvesting on my side, I'll send you 100 tons the day after tomorrow, use it for emergencies first."

"100 tons? And that's for emergencies? That's almost enough for my 1 month of consumption, you're giving me that much? Aren't you selling to Third Brother?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "Grain of course goes to our own people first, and this little bit doesn't matter."

This little bit?

Doesn't matter?

Su Qin was helpless hearing that.

But Zhao Chi selling grain also went through her, so she did know Zhao Chi wasn't wrong.

For Zhao Chi, 100 tons of grain could be described with the word "bit."

Su Qin said no more, instead happily: "Hehe, then I won't be polite with you."

Zhao Chi smiled: "What's there to be polite about, I told you long ago, I'll be fully responsible for your grain from now on. But right now only flour is in unlimited supply, if you want to improve your life, you'll have to buy other food yourself."

Su Qin said: "Flour is enough, that's the most basic staple food, the most important thing this time. You don't need to worry about the rest, I have money now too."

Zhao Chi smiled: "What, turned into a little rich girl?"

Su Qin also smiled: "Pretty much, if you need money you can come to me, I have over a thousand gold."

Zhao Chi praised: "Impressive."

"Hehe, can't compare with you, but I'm already very happy, though I'm not unambitious."

"I know, you've always worked hard, you're already stronger than many lords of the same level."

"Not really… hehe."

Zhao Chi turned and said: "Gu Qing, try it, see if you can connect with her."

Gu Qing nodded: "Okay, Sister Su Qin, look at me."

This headless, tailless remark left Su Qin a bit puzzled.

But this was between Zhao Chi and Gu Qing; though she had questions, she didn't ask, and obediently stood facing Gu Qing.

Gu Qing smiled: "Close your eyes, feel me with your heart, I'll feel you too, let's see if we can connect."

Connect?

Su Qin was still puzzled.

But she still followed Gu Qing's instructions.

After a while, she really felt a faint, elusive sensation enveloping her.

It seemed like a manifestation of Gu Qing's body fragrance, but not quite.

No scent, just a feeling.

The feeling was soft and gentle, drifting, completely enveloping Su Qin.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "my lord, the connection is possible. It's already succeeded."

Su Qin opened her eyes, still looking completely bewildered.

She didn't have the corresponding gene, so naturally she couldn't see the specific information within the system either.

But Gu Qing could.

Zhao Chi said excitedly, "It really works?"

Gu Qing smiled and nodded.

She knew what Zhao Chi was thinking.

She had just tried it — she could connect to Zhao Chi.

In this way, if Zhao Chi were in danger in the Greater World, she could notify Gu Qing to summon him to Penglai Town.

But Zhao Chi wasn't a Taoyuan Human, and lacked the gene for clan summoning, so he couldn't summon Gu Qing.

Therefore the connection between him and Gu Qing was one-way.

But Zhao Chi was, after all, the creator of the Taoyuan Humans, and was still somewhat different from the others.

And now that Gu Qing could connect to Su Qin, this showed that the gene ability "Clan Summoning" wasn't limited to one's own clan — it could also connect to outsiders.

Perhaps this was also one of the differences from the ordinary "Werewolf Summoning."

Being able to summon outsiders meant the room for maneuver was much greater.

But right now only Gu Qing could connect two clans; after she connected to Zhao Chi and Su Qin, the connection with Tang Ruan was automatically released.

This way it was still a little too few.

It seemed she still had to raise the territory level as soon as possible.

The Taoyuan Humans currently numbered 2,222 in total, plus Zhao Chi making 2,223.

That was just enough to allocate 2 town-level populations.

Tomorrow morning a new round of monthly report would come out, and by then the territory's level would change.

Then… change it!

Let Chaoge Village also be promoted to a town.

This way it could also add one more specialty product.

Zhuang Ya could simultaneously become a town mayor, able to connect 2 clans.

While Zhao Chi was thinking, Gu Qing had already explained the whole story to Su Qin.

Su Qin was naturally shocked beyond words.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "my lord specifically set aside a slot for you, afraid you might run into danger. This way, as long as you encounter any mishap, you can tell my lord, and I can immediately summon you to my lord's side. Although there will still be various restrictions, it counts as a safeguard."

Su Qin was deeply moved hearing these words.

"Thank you, Sister Gu Qing, thank you… Zhao Chi."
