Chapter 1609

"What, you drunk too?" Zhao Chi sized her up.

There was no big grudge between the two of them, and they'd now shared a meal at the same table. Since she'd apologized, let the past be the past.

Wei Li let go of Zhao Chi's sleeve.

"I'm not drunk. I was afraid you'd teleport away immediately."

"What's wrong? Go ahead."

Wei Li said, "Let me give you these things first, then we'll talk."

Zhao Chi received a trade notification.

He opened the trade interface.

Inside were three items. On the far left was an envelope, looking stuffed full. In the middle was a very large purple silk-wrapped bundle, no telling what was inside. Beside it was a broken piece of wood, looking like a piece of bark that had been oiled.

"What is this?"

Zhao Chi didn't accept.

"Take a look first. These are all for you."

For me?

Zhao Chi clicked to view the details, puzzled.

First, the envelope.

【Race Improvement Tome】 ×7

【Technology Improvement Tome】 ×5

Improvement tomes?

Why is she giving me these?

Zhao Chi continued looking at the largest purple bundle in the middle.

【Super Rapid Intermediate Life Potion】 ×5000

【Super Gentle Intermediate Life Potion】 ×5000

(Super Rapid Potion: Drug activation speed +50%)

(Super Gentle Potion: Drug resistance -4%)

What the hell is this?

Super improved potions?

Whether pills or potions, none of them restore status instantly — they all need a certain amount of time. Pills are very slow; potions are much faster, but still take time.

This Rapid-type potion can boost activation speed by 50% — quite a significant increase, letting you recover your condition faster.

In emergencies, it's very necessary.

And the Gentle-type potion can reduce drug resistance by 4%?

Drug resistance is uniformly 10%, and each time you take one it stacks another 10%.

This Gentle type can actually lessen that effect?

Normal medicine becomes useless after 10 doses; this Super Gentle type can be taken 17 times before drug resistance maxes out.

That's really not bad.

"Where did you get this medicine?"

Zhao Chi stared at Wei Li in surprise.

Wei Li said, "There's one more thing, take a look. I'll explain it all together."

Zhao Chi turned, puzzled, to the last item — that piece of wood that looked like bark.

【Fuxi Zither Fragment】 ×1

(Fuxi Zither Fragment: Can transmit sound to a target across a thousand miles for 1 minute, ignoring distance and ignoring all restrictions)

Holy shit…

Another item named after a legendary immortal.

Fuxi Zither…

Sound transmission across a thousand miles?

Ignoring distance, ignoring all restrictions?

This is badass!

Right now Zhao Chi lacks nothing — except exactly this kind of item!

For resurrection he has the Nüwa Stone Fragment Li Ruanyu gave him, but there really is still one most critical problem unsolved: communication.

Although Zhao Chi has Sound Transmission Talismans, and Gu Qing has now become a Lord and can come to the Greater World and talk to Zhao Chi through the system,

it still can't solve the problem of the World-Sealing Lock.

Once Zhao Chi is sealed in, he can't use these items to communicate.

Gu Qing and the others all have the "Tribe Summon" gene, which can instantly pull Zhao Chi back to their side from within the World-Sealing Lock.

But the problem is how to notify them!

If there's no way to notify them, how would they know when to pull Zhao Chi back?

With this Fuxi Zither Fragment, he could notify Gu Qing anytime, ignoring all restrictions.

Even if he ran into the King of Heaven himself and got one-shotted,

Zhao Chi could rely on the Nüwa Stone to fully recover and enter 3 seconds of invulnerability.

Then use this Fuxi Zither to notify Gu Qing and have her pull him back immediately.

Although 3 seconds is tight, with practice Gu Qing can definitely handle it.

3 seconds is definitely enough.

With Li Ruanyu's Nüwa Stone fragment, Zhao Chi essentially had an extra life.

And with this Fuxi Qin fragment, Zhao Chi's life would become very safe — he wouldn't be killed twice in a row by a powerful enemy!

With this, the safety puzzle was truly complete!

Zhao Chi couldn't help feeling a surge of excitement.

"Wei Li, where did this come from? Did you get it from a treasure chest? Or from the monthly evaluation lottery?"

Wei Li bit her lip and shook her head.

"Take it first, then I'll explain."

Take it?

Zhao Chi suddenly calmed down.

A vague thought rose in his mind.

Wei Li was indeed outstanding among her peers, and her family was a great clan that could rival the Xiao family.

But she wasn't the legitimate daughter of the family — she couldn't possibly give Zhao Chi so many things.

Even if she felt she owed Zhao Chi an apology, she couldn't possibly give him so many things.

"Did Shangguan Ting give you these?"

Wei Li started, her little face flushing even redder: "How did you know?"

Damn it…

How is it really her?

If it were from Wei Li, that would be one thing — Zhao Chi could just spend more gold coins to buy them.

But Shangguan Ting…

Taking her things would burn his hands.

But he really wanted them.

Zhao Chi was extremely torn.

Seeing Zhao Chi's brows knit together, Wei Li hurriedly said: "Captain Shangguan said it's an apology for what happened before. She said before that she wanted to give you these, but you refused, so she had me bring them to you."

What the hell do I do?

He really wanted them.

Where's his backbone?

Where is his backbone!

He can't take them!

But this could save his life.

Is life more important, or backbone?
