Chapter 1664

Su Qin: "Mm, I'm very satisfied. When Lu Yi saw them, her eyes went wide and she kept pestering me with questions. But I couldn't tell her, so I only told her about the ordinary finger-gauntlets, and promised to make a batch for her to buy after the battle. You agreed to that too, right?"

Zhao Chi: "Right, sell the ordinary finger-gauntlets as you like. Even ordinary attributes are pretty good. You can sell them not only to Lu Yi, but also put them up at the trading post."

Su Qin: "Hehe, I know. So besides Lu Yi, six other lords in the team all came to me for custom orders. I took all their orders, and also sold over a hundred thousand Wind-Chasing Arrows."

Zhao Chi: "Not bad, keep it up."

Su Qin: "The craftsmen have already converted a batch. Soon I can really profit from these two technologies. Thank you, Zhao Chi."

Zhao Chi: "Are you silly? Saying thank you to me?"

Su Qin: "I know, but I still want to say thank you to you. Is that not allowed?"

Zhao Chi: "Fine, say whatever you want."

Su Qin: "We're about to divide the spoils. I'll tell you later."

Zhao Chi: "Mm, good luck."

Su Qin: "What kind of luck does dividing spoils need? Haha, never mind."

Later Zhao Chi learned that Su Qin had been allocated 500 strong beastmen prisoners.

Once these prisoners were trained, they would indeed be excellent at charging into battle, certainly stronger than her human and beastman warriors.

After all, with simple minds, they were naturally less prone to fear.

They were a very good charging troop type.

Although it was Su Qin's group's first cooperation, the several captains were actually all top students.

Although Lu Yi was weak in actual combat, with her solid theoretical knowledge and accumulating experience through repeated battles, she could now hold her own.

Yang Xiong and the others still recognized her highly.

Wei Li, on the other hand, was extremely strong in actual combat.

Zhao Chi had personally witnessed the might of her ghouls—truly ferocious beyond compare, chilling to behold.

Zhou Lue used griffins.

His race was the most luxurious of everyone's.

However, the quantity was the smallest.

Griffins only naturally refreshed one per day, so Zhou Lue also had quite a few soldiers of other races to coordinate.

But griffins were excellent for both reconnaissance and assault.

They were just relatively afraid of arrows and fire-type spells.

Besides the captains, the other team members also performed quite well.

Yang Xiong's beastmen were fully armed, and combined with his skills, they could pin the front line firmly in place, creating an excellent output environment for Lu Yi's elves and Wang Lie's goblin swarm in the rear.

Cao Feng was doing quite well now too.

Shadow leopards had very fast movement speed. Yang Xiong held the front line, Cao Feng struck from the flank, and Li Xun's sea of skeletons surged from the other side—the coordination was quite seamless.

After all, Geng Zhan was a year above the others, belonging to a town-level lord. His beastmen were stronger than Yang Xiong's. Besides holding the line, his beastmen could also break through and pierce through, clashing head-on with strong beastmen without losing out.

Fu Yi, Xiang Yuan, and others also played very good roles.

Su Qin said everyone had fought to their heart's content in this battle.

No gold treasure chests dropped, but there were 8 silver treasure chests, and each team got 2.

Various resources were also plentiful.

The strong beastmen themselves were a resource, and their corpses were a resource too.

As well as the equipment on their bodies, and the increase in territory area—all of these lifted the lords' spirits considerably.

Added to that, losses were small, experience gained was plenty, many soldiers leveled up, and everyone's morale was at an unprecedented high.

They had already agreed to attack another beast camp in a few days, choosing one with slightly higher difficulty.

If they could achieve a great victory next time as well, then the time after that they would pick a weaker beast lair to attack, as the probability of gold treasure chests dropping from beast lairs was very high.

And there would be more spoils, as well as... rare spoils and so on.

Zhao Chi listened to Su Qin's chattering report while continuing to craft.

Zhao Chi: "So, they elected you as the joint captain?"

Su Qin: "Yes! Is that not allowed? My combat power clearly occupies the first position. Although my contribution value is 16%, that's the comprehensive contribution value. My output contribution value is 20%, a full one-fifth of the entire team!"

Zhao Chi: "I mean, won't the pressure on you be very great?"

Su Qin: "A little... but as long as I think of you being there, I'm not afraid of anything."

Zhao Chi: "Hearing you say that, I actually feel a bit proud?"

Su Qin: "That's right. But don't worry, whether we fight a camp or a lair, I'll pick carefully and won't cause you trouble. And even if we really can't win, you can definitely handle it easily."

Zhao Chi really wasn't worried.

Even if Su Qin hadn't said so, he still knew.

Not to mention Su Qin was actually quite cautious. Even if she picked a slightly stronger lair, or made mistakes during battle that put them at a disadvantage, Zhao Chi could handle it completely.

After all, their levels were here.

Zhao Chi: "Try to prioritize caution, but if there's danger, call me early. Don't wait until the losses are too great to call me—that would be pointless."

Su Qin: "Mm, I understand."

Zhao Chi: "What are we fighting next?"

Su Qin: "Not decided yet. We're resting today first. Tomorrow the four team leaders will go to the quest hall to take a look. If there's something suitable, we'll take it; if not, we'll wait two days. Anyway, this batch of spoils will still take a few days to digest, so there's no rush."

Zhao Chi: "Understood."

Su Qin: "Go on with your work. I'm too happy so I just chattered at you for a bit. I won't take up your time anymore. We'll talk about the rest tonight."

Zhao Chi: "Okay."

Just as he was about to continue crafting, Li Ruanyu sent another message.

Li Ruanyu【Zhao Chi, do you have time to come over? I've scraped together 90,000 gold coins here that I can give you】

Of course he has time.

Go get the money, this is serious.

After one production cycle ended, Zhao Chi went straight to Li Ruanyu's boudoir.

Li Ruanyu once again brewed that uniquely flavored elven tea from last time.

Zhao Chi drank two big cups in a row.

Li Ruanyu laughed: "Hehe, looks like next time before I invite you over, I'll have to brew a few extra cups in advance."

Zhao Chi shook his head: "No need for that much trouble, I'm fine with anything."

Li Ruanyu said: "How about you finish this cup of mine, it's gone cold."

After saying that, she handed over the cup.

On the white porcelain cup, there was still a faint red lip print.

Zhao Chi took it and drained it in one gulp.

"How is it, does the tea taste good?"

"Good, fragrant."

"Heh, as long as you like it."

When he returned the cup to Li Ruanyu, only a small half of the lip print remained.

Li Ruanyu laughed: "I distributed quite a lot of those fashion pieces of yours to the lords of our Emerald Jade team, everyone went crazy fighting over them, even Tieshan wants to buy one back to wear, hehe."

Tieshan...

Zhao Chi suddenly thought of that captain who looked like a lump of iron.

Him wearing this kind of women's sleepwear?

He probably agonized a lot when buying it.

But the stats were too strong, so he had no choice but to buy it.

Maybe next time when making sleepwear, he should make a batch for men?

Li Ruanyu continued: "But those nearly 3,000 slightly better sleepwear pieces I kept for myself, after all I'm responsible for our entire team, I still need to strengthen myself first."

Zhao Chi strongly agreed: "Mm, you get stronger first, then think about the others. The other lords having those 1,700-plus pieces is enough."

Li Ruanyu nodded: "Right, at least every lord and their heroes can basically get one, which is a pretty good boost for them too. Here's your money, is there room in your system space this time?"

"Yes."

"Good."

Very quickly.

90,000 gold coins clattered into a pile in Zhao Chi's system space, truly a gleaming golden-yellow, so dazzling one couldn't look away.
