Chapter 1921

After all, having just transmigrated here, he was broke and had zero strength.

And although Su Qin was a guest of the Zhao family, her status could only be considered a dependent.

But with her looks alone, it was hard to say no one had designs on her.

Although her status had always been single, with her looks, it was hard to say she wasn't someone's concubine.

But unexpectedly, Su Qin really had never been touched by anyone.

She was certainly a woman who kept herself pure, but it was still very strange.

He had asked Su Qin, and Su Qin only felt the Zhao family were good people who treated her as family.

In the end, she became his concubine.

Things were just that delicate.

Besides the New Year gathering, the holiday was just going to town or the county to stroll around.

Actually, it was pretty boring.

But with the festive atmosphere, even boredom could lift everyone's spirits.

And this year was indeed special.

Yue Xiao was right—most surprise attacks happened when the other side let their guard down.

The New Year period was exactly such a time.

He really did need to stay more alert than usual.

But nothing was happening in the territory.

With the two treasures—the formation array and the Truce Talisman—there was enough time to react.

Although the territory had only been established for four months, all the female subordinates were working diligently and earnestly.

He could relax a bit in the territory.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chi opened the system and sent a message to Gu Qing.

Zhao Chi 【Gu Qing, when you and Su Qin go out this time, buy more New Year goods—buy all kinds】

Gu Qing 【Hehe, my lord, how did you know? I was indeed wanting to go look at these things】

Zhao Chi 【Buy more, make our territory livelier, and buy lots of different foods too. If the amount is too much for you to carry, you can have them delivered to Taoyuan Village】

Gu Qing 【That's so nice, my lord, are you going to bleed money dry?】

Zhao Chi 【How could it be that exaggerated?】

Gu Qing 【What's the budget?】

Zhao Chi 【Whatever, under 1,000 gold coins you don't need to tell me】

Gu Qing 【1,000 gold coins? How could we possibly use that much?】

Zhao Chi 【It's fine, I'm leaving this matter to you. Make everyone happy, don't be afraid to spend money—once it's spent, we'll earn it back】

Gu Qing 【Hehe, got it~】

Her tone rose.

Clearly very happy.

Perhaps shopping itself was a happy thing for women.

The little interlude passed.

Officially starting production!

But the system popped up another prompt.

It was a message from Li Ruanyu.

Also a notice.

【Hello everyone】

【I am Li Ruanyu】

【You all saw the message Vice Commander Yue just sent, right?】

【Everyone stay alert during the New Year period, I won't repeat the relevant information】

【This year's year-end assembly begins at 10 AM on December 30th, the location is still the Grand Hall in Jiaoya Town】

【However, our Jade Squad still needs to help several village-level squads with joint defense, so the territory connection points will not be moved back to Jiaoya Town for now—they remain in the villages you're each assisting】

【Everyone travel over from the Great World on the 30th, stay safe on the road】

【There are still three and a half days until the year-end assembly. Squad leaders and group leaders, please actively complete your tasks. If you have difficulties, tell me promptly—don't force it, don't let the tasks affect your strength too much】

【If we get first place this year, the rewards will be substantial. If anyone else has the capacity, please try to do more tasks as well】

【I have another batch of low-cost Experience Fruits to distribute to everyone. The allocation list for each squad will be sent down shortly—squad leaders and group leaders, please send someone to collect them from me immediately】

【Eat one before doing tasks, it will maximize the bonus experience】

【Alright, everyone get back to work】

The year-end assembly.

Still three and a half days.

Should he also go do some tasks to raise the Jade Squad's overall contribution?

With his own strength, he should be able to rack up quite a bit of contribution, right?

Should he go?

Forget it…

Selling Experience Fruits at a low price, plus selling sleepwear and fashion outfits before, had already provided huge help to the Jade Squad.

And the final result would hardly change in any essential way just because he, a lord with a few tens of thousands of combat power, joined in.

Finishing the work in his own territory first was the proper thing to do.

Immediately start crafting the Steel Mystic Maiden Armor!

Zhao Chi really did use Primordial Force to craft it together with Zhuang Ya, but after only one day had passed, Li Ruanyu sent a message that forced Zhao Chi to stop crafting.

Li Ruanyu 【Zhao Chi, come attend to me】

Her tone was very playful and teasing.

Zhao Chi listened, completely baffled.

Has Li Ruanyu taken the wrong medicine?

It doesn't match her temperament at all.

This kind of talk is something Zhuang Ya would say.

Zhuang Ya 【Me? I wouldn't dare】

Zhao Chi 【Something you don't dare?】

Zhuang Ya 【I'd dare to say it, but just don't take revenge on me at night, last time I was trembling for ages】

Zhao Chi 【So you're not afraid of me, but afraid of that】

Zhuang Ya 【What else? What about you is scary? A little brother who only knows how to suckle】

Zhao Chi 【What the—? You really do dare to say it】

Zhuang Ya 【I'm just kidding, hurry up and reply to Sister Ruanyu. I can sense a smug feeling from her, she must have something good to give you】

Zhao Chi 【I'll deal with you tonight】

Zhuang Ya 【Didn't you say you'd let me take the lead this time? You won't go back on your word, will you?】

Zhao Chi 【Oh… I won't】

Zhuang Ya 【Haha, my whip is all ready, just you wait!】

Zhao Chi stopped talking to Zhuang Ya.

Immediately contacted Li Ruanyu

Zhao Chi 【What's wrong, wifey? Your tone sounds off】

Li Ruanyu 【Hehe, do you want the World Stone? If you do, hurry over and massage my feet. I have a mission to go out in a bit】

Zhao Chi 【Holy—! The World Stone! You got it?】

Li Ruanyu 【Yep, traded for it with a ton of resources and items, spent quite a bit of money too】

Zhao Chi 【How much? I'll give you the money】

Li Ruanyu 【No need, you've already given me so much grain, so many fashion items, and even waived over a hundred thousand gold coins for me. I don't need anything else from you, hurry over and take it】

Zhao Chi 【Driving skill still has 2 minutes left, I'll come right over once I'm out】

Li Ruanyu 【Alright, I'll be waiting for you then. My shoes are already off, give me a proper foot massage, and I'll give it to you only after you make me comfortable~】

She was smug again.
