Chapter 1828

Zhao Chi asked, "Do you have any super-improvement books here?"

Yang Xiong didn't even look up: "What do you think? Having blueprints is already pretty good, and you still want super-improvement books... Go check the trading post."

"Mm, that works too. At least the trip wasn't wasted."

Yang Xiong laughed: "I originally wanted to use them directly, but then I thought about it — having those female beastfolk wear short skirts? I've got a bit of a mental block. Better to just buy them super-improved sportswear instead."

Zhao Chi pictured the scene too.

It really was a bit of a mental block.

After chatting with Yang Xiong for a while, Song Yun walked over: "My lord, the supplies have all been unloaded."

Before Zhao Chi could reply, Yang Xiong turned his head in astonishment: "Already moved?"

Song Yun nodded: "Yes, my lord."

Although Song Yun didn't know Yang Xiong, she knew he was a lord and also Zhao Chi's friend, so she addressed him with respect as well.

Yang Xiong stood up and looked — sure enough, the ground over there was already piled high with large wooden crates.

Each crate held 500 kilograms of meat.

At a glance, there really was quite a lot.

Yang Xiong said in surprise: "How did you transport everything so fast?"

This time Song Yun didn't answer, but looked toward Zhao Chi instead.

Zhao Chi laughed: "Just add a few more points to the carrying attribute. Since that's the case, I'll head out first. We'll get together again later."

Yang Xiong said, dumbfounded: "Okay... but my beastfolk transport team has all been specced into carrying attribute too..."

Zhao Chi laughed heartily: "I'm off!"

He vanished in an instant with his female subordinates.

Yang Xiong shook his head and stopped digging into it.

He looked at that huge mountain of meat again, feeling a touch of emotion.

After returning to the territory, all the frenzied undead had already been taken away.

But Wei Li was still waiting for Zhao Chi.

Seeing Zhao Chi, Wei Li hurried over: "Zhao Chi, I just asked my family — we are allowed to sell grain externally. I told them you were the lord I have the best relationship with, and the family agreed to supply grain long-term at 11 copper coins."

Zhao Chi was stunned, then stunned again.

Wei Li actually wants to sell me grain?

Does she really think I asked her about grain just now because I'm short on food?

This woman is actually not bad — she has enough execution ability, she's just a bit slow on the uptake.

Zhao Chi said: "You may not have spent enough time with me yet. I'm a pretty sincere person — when I say I don't need it, I really don't need it."

Wei Li was a little at a loss.

"Oh... then... then."

Zhao Chi smiled slightly: "But thank you anyway. I acknowledge this favor from you."

Wei Li laughed.

"Really? Haha, actually it's not my favor — it's yours. You giving me so many frenzied undead is the big favor, and there's no problem with me giving you the money by tomorrow evening."

"Mm, no rush on that."

"No, that won't do. I'll definitely come by tomorrow. Open up access for me again when I do."

"Okay."

"Then I'll head off first. You look really busy over here too, so I won't keep bothering you."

"Okay, goodbye."

"Heh~ goodbye~"

Wei Li nodded heavily and vanished.

Next, Zhao Chi contacted Su Qin.

Zhao Chi 【Su Qin, what are you doing?】

Su Qin 【Distributing loot, hauling supplies. Hey, I got something good for you】

Zhao Chi 【Something good? What is it?】

Su Qin 【Hehe, I'll come over and give it to you now. Where are you? Taoyuan Village or Penglai Town?】

Zhao Chi 【Taoyuan Village. It's fine, you finish your work first, just come by when you're done】

Su Qin didn't reply.

Instead, her figure flashed and she arrived at Taoyuan Village.

From afar she spotted Zhao Chi holding up a torch, then ran over.

"Ugh, it's pitch-black here every night. If you weren't holding a torch I wouldn't even be able to see you."

Zhao Chi laughed: "Aren't there torches lit over at Xiaoyao Springs?"

Su Qin hugged him.

Zhao Chi received a system message.

【Su Qin requests a trade】

Click to accept.

【You have obtained: Lady's Backpack Super-Improvement Book ×1】

"Oh? Where'd you get it?"

Su Qin laughed: "It was looted from that last battle. Another lord wanted it too, but I didn't give in. I remembered you still needed this, so I snatched it right away."

Zhao Chi asked: "How did you know I needed this? When did I ever tell you? Why don't I remember?"

Su Qin glared at him: "You said it when you were putting it in my mouth — told me to swallow it, and you'd give me a super-upgraded bag."

Zhao Chi said, stunned: "Huh? There was such a thing? When was that?"

Su Qin snorted: "You dead man, you've already forgotten the good deed you did yourself? Honestly, every day you trick me into swallowing, and I haven't even seen the shadow of a backpack. Only later did I find out you were still missing a super-upgrade blueprint."

Seems there really was such a thing.

Zhao Chi laughed: "Now that we have this super-upgrade blueprint, I can definitely make it for you."

Su Qin nodded in his arms: "Mm, give me more, the fashion pieces you make are bound to have extraordinary effects — at least give me five first."

"Deal!"

"Alright then, I'll head back first. I haven't finished things on my end either — I'll definitely have to stay up late tonight, but it's a happy kind of staying up late, a harvest full of rewards."

"Hold on, I still have something for you here. This is the list, take a look. You should need it, right?"

Zhao Chi sent over the equipment he had just captured.

Su Qin received it.

"Oh? Let me see… seven thousand steel bows, three thousand steel weapons? This many? You're giving them all to me?"

"Yeah, I can't use them. I don't want the other loot either — I just ended up with these. You're still using an iron bow, right?"

"I'm using an armor-piercing bow I bought from Lu Yi's side, but it really is iron-grade. Still, the steel bow's base stats are even better than the armor-piercing bow."

Zhao Chi nodded: "The steel bow's material grade is after all higher than the iron armor-piercing bow — base damage and durability are both higher, it just lacks the armor-piercing effect. You can mix and match depending on the situation."

Su Qin said, delighted: "Great, the base damage is a full double higher — then I'll take them all. You don't want those weapons either?"

"Don't want them. On my side they're all heavy weapons. The light ones were eliminated long ago."

"Oh, right, right, right — why does it seem like all the loot you drop ends up going to me? Hehe, it's even more than what I get on my own side."

"Keep it up, Su Qin. Look outside — those elves afterward are yours to lead too."

"Outside?"

Su Qin looked toward the outside of the village.

Though she couldn't see clearly, from the pairs of eyes outside reflecting firelight, they were all captives — and most of them were female elves."

"How many did you catch this time?"

"Six thousand humans, seventeen thousand elves."

"I… go… you-you-you, you want to keep all of them? Can you even manage them?"

"Keeping them is definitely no problem, it's just that guarding them is more troublesome. But it doesn't matter — before, there were a thousand professional female overseers who could be used. Originally I was planning to transfer them to you, but now that probably won't work."

Su Qin shook her head: "It's fine. Didn't you say those slaves from before have already been disciplined? Basically four points of obedience is stable enough. But this is just too many — over twenty thousand captives. A thousand female overseers probably can't guard them all either, right?"
