Chapter 1915

Although Zhao Chi came over to discuss experience fruits and grain.

But right now he had to deal with Li Ruanyu first.

Very soon, Li Ruanyu regretted it.

"Zhao Chi, wait a moment, just a moment…"

"What's wrong?"

"Gu Qing said the effect wears off in half an hour, so why are you still… Ouch~"

Zhao Chi scratched his head: "What exactly does this stuff do? Normally… are you not satisfied?"

"How could I possibly not be satisfied… don't overthink it, uh~"

Li Ruanyu sank into the bedding.

Answering with a weary face.

Zhao Chi grew even more puzzled: "Then why do you still want me to drink this stuff?"

Li Ruanyu's breathing steadied a little: "The current state is just a side effect. The main function is to increase your basic attribute experience, similar to experience fruits, but targeting basic attributes."

"Basic attributes?"

"Yes, but the raw materials are hard to obtain, so Gu Qing told me to go find… you, you still not done yet? Why don't you go find Gu Qing? I can't hold on any longer."

Zhao Chi looked at Li Ruanyu's condition.

The berserk energy had surged by 19 points.

Thanks to her strong attributes, she had managed to hold on until now.

Zhao Chi gently pulled out.

Li Ruanyu's whole body trembled, and she sighed softly: "Phew~ Even the best things can't be overdone. Today I truly learned that lesson."

"Hadn't you learned it before?"

"Of course I had, heh~"

"Why do I feel like you're coaxing a child?"

"No, no, I'm telling the truth. Trust me."

"Alright, let's talk business."

"Mm, what business?"

"Another batch of new experience fruits has had a bumper harvest."

"Really…"

"Yes, even I was shocked by the quantity of experience fruits this time."

"Really? How much did you harvest this time? Still over a million?"

"More than that. This time the experience fruits total 4.5 million that can be sold."

"4.5 million!?"

Li Ruanyu sat up with a flushed face.

Beads of sweat dotted her forehead; the hair by her ears clung to her cheeks.

Her hazy eyes refocused.

"Right, we're still selling them to our own squadron, right?"

"Aren't you keeping some for yourself?"

"Including the previous stockpile, I've kept a total of 700,000 for myself, enough for Su Qin and me for over two months of consumption."

"That's good. How much are you planning to sell these for?"

Zhao Chi smiled and helped wipe the sweat from her head: "You're my Lady, you decide for me."

Li Ruanyu lowered her head: "Help me wipe a bit more while you're at it."

"Okay."

Today really was a bit much.

Li Ruanyu's tender softness had turned a flushed red.

Zhao Chi carefully finished cleaning up.

"Thanks! Then I'll handle the experience fruit sales completely for you? Including the pricing?"

"Yes, I'm counting on you."

Li Ruanyu lay back down on the soft bed, not wanting to move at all.

She still twitched occasionally.

But she still thought quickly, then said: "Last time you sold me 1.24 million at 1.5 silver coins each. That price was very low, so I sold them to our squadron at different prices for different lords."

"Mm, I know that."

Last time, Li Ruanyu and Zhao Chi's relationship wasn't as intimate as it was now.

But they were already quite close.

So Zhao Chi sold to Li Ruanyu at the very low price of 1.5 silver coins, intending at the time to raise the strength of the entire Jade Squadron, hence the low price.

Thinking about it now, it seemed Li Ruanyu's gaze back then had already begun to change.

After all, experience fruits could be sold to anyone; even selling them at the exchange, they'd be snapped up instantly.

1.24 million was indeed not a small number, but in front of all the lords of Horn Cliff Town, it was only a drop in the ocean.

Selling them was certainly no problem.

Yet Zhao Chi had sold them to Li Ruanyu at a low price, so Li Ruanyu might have already taken a liking to him back then.

Not to mention the two of them had other connections.

Even if there were no connection.

When a big client voluntarily offers a fat order with generous profits, anyone would feel favorably toward them, right?

Thinking too far ahead.

Zhao Chi came back to himself and said, "So this time we'll still give it to our team's lord at the same price?"

Li Ruanyu laughed lightly and shook her head: "Just take out 2 million to give to everyone; the price can stay the same as last time. The remaining 2 million units can be sold to other teams at 3.5 silver coins each. After all, you need to make some money too — we can't distribute everything at a low price."

"Fine. There's also 10,000 tons of wheat kernels that can be sold."

"You… alright, you've definitely kept enough stock, right?"

"Of course. The staple grain is 15,000 tons — more than enough for Su Qin and me to last over two months."

Li Ruanyu laughed: "You really are quite a good man — you think of your little wife Su Qin no matter when. Just now it was the experience fruit, and now it's the grain."

Zhao Chi said: "I think of my big wife Li Ruanyu too, so if you want it, I'll give it to you."

Li Ruanyu laughed: "Are you serious? If you give me resources and such, they're useless to me, but if you give me grain, I really would take it. And this is worth 10,000 gold coins — you should think it over."

Zhao Chi laughed: "What's there to think about? You're priceless; spending 10,000 gold coins on you is nothing."

Li Ruanyu covered her mouth and laughed: "Hehe, originally I said I'd have you live off me, but now it turns out I'm the one living off you."

Zhao Chi glanced at her two big, full ones — now *that* was living off soft rice.

There were some red marks on top, pricked red by stubble.

Zhao Chi laughed: "I've already eaten your soft rice for an hour just now; letting you eat mine is only fair. Besides, yours isn't called living off soft rice — it's called me keeping you."

"Hehe, before, when I heard other couples say things like this, I thought it was childish and gross. But hearing you say it today, I feel really good about it."

"Then it's settled. I'll have someone send the experience fruit and grain over to you in a bit."

"Alright, such a large quantity — it'll take a long time to transport, right? I'll send people over too. Where is it? Penglai Town or Chaoge Town?"

"Chaoge Town."

"Alright."

"I'd like to use your giant-beast artificial slaves for a few more days. Their work capacity is genuinely impressive, so I want them to help finish building the warehouse before they leave. Is that okay?"

"Of course it's okay. When my husband makes a request, his wife naturally has to obey properly. Working for you and working for me is the same thing."

"Holy crap, you're saying such cheesy stuff."

"Cheesy is right — numbing you over."

"Numb you over? What are you saying? Let's see who flips over first." Zhao Chi leaned in close, then laughed lightly while staring at Li Ruanyu.

"Aiya! No, no, no, I was wrong! Go find Gu Qing — I need to recover. I'll keep you company again tomorrow."
