Chapter 1621

So hammers are still the most suitable for them.

Even without a shield, they themselves carry the durability bonus of the Extreme Heavy Mystic Maiden Armor, so they're already extremely tanky, and their safety is honestly not bad either.

Right now their silk threads don't have any poison.

But Zhao Chi is working hard on it.

These past few days he's been tormenting Gu Qing nonstop, every night she's been driven to ecstasy and agony, breaking down beyond all measure.

Zhao Chi originally felt he was being a bit excessive and considered whether to let Gu Qing rest for a bit.

After all, although Gu Qing is strong, it's still 10 Constitution versus 8 Constitution — a full two tiers apart.

However.

These past two days Gu Qing has been unexpectedly gentle, beaming with smiles at everyone she sees.

She's especially obedient and compliant toward Zhao Chi.

A pair of alluring eyes constantly brimming with tender affection, and her voice has grown much softer and sweeter.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Chi felt he could just keep pushing hard against her.

Never mind whether she begs for mercy or screams at night — just ignore it and forcefully push back.

At the current pace, by next week he'll have saved up enough 100 Gene Points to activate the venomous bodily fluids for the Silks.

When that happens, the Silks will have more options in combat.

Of course, Silks female soldiers can also carry a shield on them — their load-bearing capacity is high anyway, so they can just take it out and use it when needed.

Just as he was thinking, a flash of light suddenly appeared to the front-left, and a slender, beautiful figure appeared.

It was Su Qin, arriving with a wooden cart.

She came surprisingly early today.

Su Qin was also surprised to see Zhao Chi: "Huh? Why aren't you crafting today?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "I've pretty much finished making them. Take another look — which of these fashion items do you still need?"

Su Qin looked at the stockings flags and high-heeled-shoe wall bricks all over the territory, smiling and shaking her head.

"No need. Those sleepwear alone will be a huge help to me. Sell the rest, you'll definitely get several tens of thousands of gold coins for them."

Indeed so.

These 4,390 fashion items Zhao Chi made — saying they'd sell for tens of thousands of gold coins is actually an understatement; Zhao Chi estimates they'll exceed 100,000.

After all, Shopkeeper Wanyan is not Li Ruanyu.

With Shopkeeper Wanyan, he can deal strictly by trade rules — a penny for a penny's worth, fair exchange between both sides.

He just doesn't know whether Shopkeeper Wanyan has the capacity to take them all.

If she can't eat them all, then he can consider selling to Li Ruanyu at that point.

But Zhao Chi had another consideration — Bloodline Sprout and Primal Bloodline.

Although Li Ruanyu is strong and trustworthy, she's still the squad leader of the combat squadron after all, and her main daily task is still fighting.

But Shopkeeper Wanyan is different.

Zhao Chi took out the business card Shopkeeper Wanyan had given him and looked at it again.

【Ruby Merchant Guild Member】

【Name】 Yin Wanyan

【Department】 Fashion Department

【Position】 Senior Inspector – Senior Customer Service Manager – Black Crystal Town Ruby Exchange Supervisor – Wanyan Splendor Garments Shop Owner

She has quite a few titles; through her he can definitely buy Primal Bloodlines, and there's a chance of buying Bloodline Sprouts too.

All kinds of other rare items can also be purchased through her.

For anything not available at the Cape Cliff Town Exchange, just go through her.

He could turn her into his purchasing agent.

Pretty good.

The stockings on the rope have all dried; he can take them down in a bit.

But those high heels need until the afternoon to dry, and once they're dry he can pack them up and sell them.

Su Qin handed the supplies to Song Yun's transport team, to be hauled entirely to the warehouse.

Now Su Qin has basically already started treating Zhao Chi's place as home.

She spends more time here than in her own territory.

She's also become quite familiar with all the female squad leaders in Zhao Chi's territory.

The last room in Phoenix Chant Tower has truly been given to Su Qin as well.

With this, all 5 entertainment rooms are fully occupied.

Zhao Chi had originally considered whether to convert one of the other rooms into an entertainment room, and then live there himself.

But there's no need.

Zhao Chi can't possibly sleep alone.

When tired, he can just walk into any one of their rooms.

Inside they're all double beds, double blankets, double pillows.

You could say all 5 rooms have a place for Zhao Chi.

Then there's no need to convert anything.

After delivering the goods, Su Qin stood before Zhao Chi with a beaming smile: "Yesterday I got together with Lu Yi and the others, and we've already set the date for our next raid on the strong beastmen camp."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Oh? Who all went?"

"The Vanguard Commander group is Lu Yi, Yang Xiong, Cao Feng. The Strategy group is Zhou Lue and Wei Jinlong. The Liuli group is Wei Li and Zhou Zheng, plus me and Xiang Yuan and Fu Yi — 10 people in total."

Basically, they're the core members of each squad.

With these people around, whatever's being discussed is basically settled.

"Send me the data on the Strong Beastmen Camp."

"Got it!"

【Strong Beastmen Camp】

【Level】Large Town

【Population】Approximately 7,800

【Area】19 square kilometers

【Tier】Levels 10-40

【Accuracy】79%

【Reward】1,025 contribution points

【Mission】Official Squad-level Mission

Not bad, actually.

Still a fair bit worse than the Shi Laimu Nest, but far stronger than the Night Demon Camp.

Correspondingly, the camp's area and reward are both a bit larger.

The mission level is still an official squad-level mission — mainly because the camp is only town-tier, the enemy numbers are only 7,800, and the levels don't exceed 40.

One squad alone would of course have a hard time clearing it; usually several official squads go together.

Zhao Chi said: "This camp is pretty good, suits you guys well. But it's already pretty close to a nest — any thought of just taking on a nest directly?"

Su Qin smiled: "We do plan to. But this is the first time our four squads are teaming up, and we still need to mesh, so we picked a slightly easier camp first. If the cooperation goes well, we'll choose a nest next time — after all, a nest's magical beast lord is far stronger than a camp's chief."

The four squads have a total of 20 lords, but without Zhao Chi, there are only 19 lords.

Though each squad doesn't necessarily have exactly 5 people — a small squad might have 2, a large one over 10, either is fine.

But plenty of squads still run the 5-person setup.

It's a mainstream party comp, I suppose.

Apart from Zhao Chi, their 19 lords' forces will definitely exceed 10,000 troops, possibly even over 12,000.

And more lords means more heroes too.

The lords themselves are powerful heroes.

So there are more various spiritual techniques and skills as well.

Taking on this 7,800-strong Strong Beastmen Camp is actually on the easier side.

But for a first collaboration, getting familiar with each other is indeed necessary.

Taking it slow is the right call.
