Su Qin felt her whole body shudder.

"I will definitely work hard!"

"Don't be so serious. Growth still takes some time, but we can start with your body first."

Su Qin smiled: "In the end, it still comes down to using the body. Fine, use it however you like; I'll satisfy you completely. But since you gave me so many bags, do you have enough on your end? You can equip these bags to your female subordinates first; I'm not in a rush. Just give them to me after you've cycled them out."

Zhao Chi smiled: "Your side is mine too, no difference. Just equip new ones later. I originally wanted to make more, but I haven't made this kind of backpack before and didn't prepare materials in advance. These were made by consuming rare materials from our spoils. Buy a batch for me, and buy these materials too. Here's the money."

Zhao Chi handed over 10,000 gold coins.

Many people used 10,000 gold coins to buy materials, but they were mostly families or factions. Private individuals like Zhao Chi buying materials were rare; now he was truly wealthy and bold.

He currently had 108,000 gold coins on hand, and Li Ruanyu still owed Zhao Chi 125,000.

Zhao Chi really didn't lack money now.

Su Qin hesitated for a moment before accepting.

She actually didn't want Zhao Chi's money, but the problem was Su Qin's earning ability was indeed limited. Zhao Chi needed too many materials; Su Qin simply couldn't afford them.

Then forget it.

Running errands well for him counts as making a contribution.

"No problem. Everyone is selling spoils right now; there must be many rare materials for sale. Buying now is definitely cheap. I'll go buy them in a moment."

"Good, it's not too urgent. Just bring them tomorrow. This batch of materials is quite large; no need to buy them all at once. Just buy them for me slowly."

Su Qin thought for a moment and said: "No, I'll go right now. It's already 9 o'clock. I'll buy some for you as soon as possible. Do you need anything else?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "Nothing else is needed. Just these materials for now. But after you get there, send me a copy of the Exchange's list to take a look."

"No problem!"

"If you have time, run another errand to the Quest Hall and post these quests."

"Of course I have time!"

Su Qin received Zhao Chi's quest list.

She stared blankly while reading.

"Zhao Chi, your quest rewards are too generous! A super-improved book gives a 50 gold coin reward? Huh? Why is there a tail stuffed in? What is this? Could it be... that kind of thing?"

Zhao Chi scratched his head: "I'm not clear either, but since it belongs to costumes, I just wanted to buy it back to see the effect."

Su Qin was somewhat suspicious: "Really? You don't know what it's used for? I was wondering why you'd spend so much money on a bounty; turns out you actually want this kind of thing."

Zhao Chi said helplessly: "I offered a high reward just to get the blueprint and improved book faster... It's really not for this thing."

Su Qin completely disbelieved: "You can't fool me. You definitely want to make this kind of thing for us to use."

Zhao Chi saw that explanation was impossible, so he simply stopped explaining.

He said: "What's wrong? I just like it, and I also like having you stuff it. Will you stuff it or not?"

"I... I..."

Su Qin opened her mouth and said "I" twice, then didn't continue.

She glanced at Zhao Chi, then whispered: "If you like it, I'm definitely willing to stuff it. Since I let you walk the back path, what's the point of stuffing this..."

Zhao Chi was very satisfied: "That's right, just like that. You little concubine should just obediently listen."

Hearing this title, Su Qin felt somewhat happy: "Hehe, I'll definitely listen to you. I'll go to the Exchange first, then head to the Quest Hall to post them for you."

"That's good."

"Pervert."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Nothing, hehe, I'm leaving."

After instructing his subordinates, Su Qin left.

With female villagers entertaining Su Qin's subordinates, Zhao Chi didn't linger and walked to the Carpenter's Shop.

The production time for wooden carts was not short.

Especially for large wooden carts.

Fortunately, Qi Yue's six arms could still be put to use.

The main material for wooden carts... is wood.

Zhao Chi had abundant basic resources; wood was naturally extremely plentiful.

But ordinary wood is fine for construction; for making wooden carts, which are war machines, let's use better materials.

Zhao Chi used Golden Sandalwood last time, which added 10 improved points and had better attributes.

Previously, through Zhao Cang, he purchased 6,000 from Zhao Jing; now 3,200 remain.

Not enough.

Need another 20,000 at the very least.

They must be for sale on the market, but fat water shouldn't flow to outsiders' fields; just buy from the Zhao family.

Contact Zhao Cang directly.

Zhao Chi 【Third Brother, busy?】

Zhao Cang 【Zhao Chi? How do you have time to contact me? New grain? Or buying Golden Sandalwood?】

Zhao Chi 【Haha, Third Brother, you guessed it? Grain needs another 10 days. I'm here to buy Golden Sandalwood this time.】

Zhao Cang 【Grain waits 10 days? How much this time? Is there 1,000 tons?】

Zhao Chi 【Haha, Third Brother, use your imagination and guess again.】

Zhao Cang 【From the sound of it... could it be 3,000 tons? You just bought me quite a bit of grain; can there be that much?】

Zhao Chi 【Use a bit more imagination.】

Zhao Cang 【Huh? Could it be 5,000 tons?】

Zhao Chi: "This time there will be 10,000 tons. How about it, Third Brother? Is that acceptable?"

Zhao Cang: "Nonsense!"

Zhao Chi: "... What, you don't believe me?"

Zhao Cang: "Of course I don't believe you. In the past month, you've already sold me over 9,000 tons. How could there possibly be another 10,000 tons? Don't joke with me. Are you perhaps saying 10,000 kilograms?"

Zhao Chi: "Who is joking with you? Think about what I've told you; when have I ever lied?"

Zhao Cang: "This... Could there really be 10,000 tons? Flour? Or is it vegetables? Vegetables have too little caloric value and are not easy to preserve."

Zhao Chi: "I said it is flour."

Zhao Cang: "Are you sure?"

Zhao Chi: "How many times must I say it? Third Brother, if you don't believe me, I'll sell it to someone else."

Zhao Cang: "No, no, no, I believe you. I believe you can deliver 10,000 tons of flour in ten days."

Zhao Chi: "Actually, production can begin gradually in a week, but I still need to mill the grain. Otherwise, I might as well just sell you the wheat kernels directly; that would get it to you even faster."

Zhao Cang: "Great! That would certainly be better. No problem at all!"

Zhao Chi: "Then it's settled."

Zhao Cang: "The 10,000 tons you just mentioned refers to flour, so the corresponding bran would also be over 3,300 tons, correct?"

Zhao Chi: "Exactly."

Zhao Cang: "Excellent. That is equivalent to an extra 3,300 tons of feed. At what price will you sell it?"

Zhao Chi: "Including the bran... the flour will still be 10 copper coins per kilogram, and the bran 1 copper coin per kilogram. One kilogram of wheat yields 0.75 kilograms of flour and 0.25 kilograms of bran, totaling 7.75 copper coins. However, considering the saved labor costs, I'll sell it to you at 7.7 copper coins per kilogram."

Zhao Cang: "Are you sure? This price is very low. Prices have risen outside; you can't be unaware of that. Don't lose money on this."

Zhao Chi's price was very conscientious.

Now that the population of the Broken World Army has expanded, grain prices have risen significantly, currently around 12 to 13 copper coins per kilogram.

They may rise even further in the future.

Therefore, when Wei Li previously said she could sell grain to Zhao Chi at 11 copper coins, that was considered a very good price.

Wei Li truly took it to heart.

Although Zhao Chi could not possibly buy grain from her family, Zhao Chi remembered this gesture of goodwill.

Now, by selling to the Zhao family at 10 copper coins, Zhao Chi is offering an even better price.

Besides flour, bran is also very important feed.

It can feed almost all poultry and livestock, and many demonic beasts can also eat bran.

Even mixing some into the flour to feed the slaves would be no problem.

Its uses are very broad.

The current issue is not the price, but the source.
