Chapter 199: Redeeming Items

The goblins have been sold off.

Still left are the harpies and naga warriors, but Zhao Chi has no plans to sell them for now.

The harpies can scout from the air — once tamed, they'll be very useful.

The naga warriors have solid combat power; once tamed, they'll do well charging into the fray.

Besides, they're all female, so there won't be any awkward situations.

While he was thinking, he arrived at the Logistics Department.

Just as expected — a sea of people.

Nearly all thousand of the junior trainees had come.

The Logistics Department's redemption hall was simply impossible to squeeze into.

A few staff members had already come outside to start maintaining order.

They wore no expressions of surprise, only helpless irritation.

After all, every year at this time, a redemption rush comes once, and it's their busiest day of work.

"Trainees, line up properly."

"Those in back, stop pushing. Form eight lines on your own. No cutting in."

"Trainees who aren't in a hurry can come back tomorrow. Today has the most people redeeming; tomorrow there'll be far fewer."

Hearing this, some trainees left, but the majority kept waiting in line.

After all, redeeming an item one day earlier means using it one day earlier.

"Move aside, stop pushing!"

"You deaf? Get the hell out of my way!"

"Scram! Make way!"

Suddenly, shouts came from behind.

All the trainees turned to look.

But after one glance, they immediately turned back, not daring to look again.

Zhao Chi also turned his head and saw it was Yuan Zhao and his dozen or so lackeys walking over.

The lackeys cleared the path ahead, while Yuan Zhao strolled leisurely behind.

When he reached Zhao Chi's side, Yuan Zhao smiled and said:

"Hey, Zhao Chi, why are you in line here? How long would that take? Come with me, I'll take you straight to redeem."

A generous offer.

But Zhao Chi refused.

"It's fine, thanks for the kind thought. I'll just wait in line."

Yuan Zhao smiled and said, "Our time is precious — don't waste it lining up. Come with me, no one will say anything."

Zhao Chi shook his head and said, "Thanks, but really, no need. Please, go ahead."

Yuan Zhao smiled and said nothing more.

He continued strolling leisurely forward.
