Chapter 1778

Li Ruanyu 【Explain it more clearly, as detailed as possible】

Liang Mengzhen 【We just arrived here, and Xiaoyu immediately noticed something off about the village. She went to investigate and found that there wasn't a single person left — the Heavenly King Army garrison at Beiliu Village had all fled, and judging by the situation, they hadn't been gone long】

Li Ruanyu 【Can you confirm? Not an ambush? What about the formation?】

Liang Mengzhen 【Yan-jie is connecting now… she says she's linked up】

Yan Yan 【Captain, the formation at Beiliu Village is connected. I'm transferring it to you】

Li Ruanyu 【Hold on a moment, transferring now would cost energy. Mengzhen, move my connection point over first. I'm going out to take a look】

Liang Mengzhen 【…Done!】

Li Ruanyu teleported immediately.

After confirming, the Heavenly King Army at Beiliu Village had really fled…

"Captain, control of the formation has been sent to you." Yan Yan said.

"Good." Li Ruanyu nodded.

Liang Mengzhen asked: "So should we pursue them? Or just leave it? Beiliu Village is already taken, so our combat objective is met either way."

Li Ruanyu's delicate brows furrowed slightly: "I'm considering it too… No, Mengzhen, you and the others should still follow them. We can't just let them run off like that. After all, the ones staying behind here will be the Beiliu Squad, and they'll likely face the danger of the Heavenly King Army returning. While we still have the numbers, let's eliminate this hidden threat and also boost everyone's loot and experience."

Liang Mengzhen said: "Then I'll need to take everyone's connection points with me. Does anyone need to stay here?"

Li Ruanyu shook her head: "No need. Pursue the enemy with everything you've got. Once you find them, notify me — I'll decide when to attack."

"Yes!"

The figures of several female subordinates flashed and vanished ahead.

Li Ruanyu immediately notified the other squad captains.

A quick discussion and arrangement.

Zhao Chi knew none of this.

He was somewhat at loose ends.

Even though it was only 30 minutes, for Zhao Chi, it seemed rare to have this kind of pure downtime.

Then he'd just rest.

While staring at the sky in a daze, Su Qin sent a message.

Su Qin 【Zhao Chi, how's it going on your end? Was the second battle alright?】

Zhao Chi 【Not bad. How about you?】

Su Qin 【Hehe, made out like a bandit】

Zhao Chi 【Made out like a bandit?】

Su Qin 【Right. This time we fought goblins. After a few rounds of my arrow rain, they just collapsed. I didn't expect it — the enemy had several thousand, but in the end I caught quite a few too】

Zhao Chi 【Hearing your tone, you really did make out well】

Su Qin 【That's not all. I also leveled up — I'm level 38 now. Fast, right?】

Zhao Chi 【Really fast】

Su Qin 【And on top of that, all my talents and skills ranked up. So my overall strength is a bit stronger now】

Zhao Chi 【Really? That's good news. Let me take a look】

Su Qin 【Hehe, go ahead】

Clicked into Su Qin's interface.

Su Qin was Zhao Chi's fully dependent lord, and all permissions were opened to the maximum.

Zhao Chi could see all her information.

Talents and skills were of course crystal clear.

Such big progress?

Zhao Chi really hadn't looked at Su Qin's information carefully in a while.

From what he remembered, Su Qin had always been very delicate and weak.

But looking at her now, her strength was clearly considerable.

Her figure went without saying.

A pair of soft Cs were more than enough.

Her waist measured only 58 centimeters — very slim.

Su Qin was a normal human; there was no way to measure her by the fairy-tier standards of altered stats that Gu Qing and the others used.

Among ordinary humans, Su Qin was absolutely a flawless image of womanhood.

Height and weight, both perfectly standard.

But that wasn't the point — the point was her strength.

Her current stats… how did she have 24 points?

Zhao Chi remembered she had only 21 points two months ago — she'd improved by 3?

That fast?

Zhao Chi 【Su Qin, your base stats have improved this much? I remember your Constitution used to be 5, Strength only 4, Agility also 6 — over these past days you've gone up by 1 in all of them?】

Su Qin 【It's not that big of an improvement. I haven't gained any base stats since becoming a Lord; the recent increases are just because the accumulated progress from before finally kicked in】

Zhao Chi 【Understood】

Su Qin 【Besides, being worked over by you every single night — if my Constitution wasn't a bit higher, I'd be done for by you. I didn't dare keep it low】

Zhao Chi 【Just for that line, tonight I'm really going to step it up】

Su Qin 【Bring it on, who's afraid of you】

Zhao Chi 【Don't beg for mercy when the time comes】

Su Qin 【Lalalalala~】

Good, good, good.

Tonight Su Qin was done for.

He temporarily suppressed his Spear of Fury.

Zhao Chi continued reading the information.

Su Qin's hero stats added up to a total of 263 points; even subtracting the 20 points from her Mayor position, she still had a full 243.

Right now Gu Qing only had 215.

Of course, that was because Gu Qing had been appraised too few times — only 3 — otherwise she'd have even more.

But Su Qin's improvement was huge.

Zhao Chi remembered that when he first took her in, she only had 217 points. Subtracting the Mayor position bonus, that was only 197.

So…
