Chapter 20

It's fine for Tang Ruan to be a meat shield.

After all, Zhao Chi only has 5 points of Physique right now.

The biggest reason he chose the survival path for his stat points is to live longer.

And Tang Ruan can truly act as a front-line damage-soaking character.

Such a small woman, yet she has to be a big meat shield.

It really is a bit uncoordinated.

"My lord... why are you looking at me like that?"

Tang Ruan was still rubbing her little belly.

But she noticed that Zhao Chi's gaze toward her was very strange.

She couldn't help but feel a chill down her back.

Zhao Chi said: "Tang Ruan, your Physique is very strong. I plan to train you into a damage-soaking character. Are you willing?"

Tang Ruan asked: "Damage-soaking? Does that mean protecting you, my lord, at the front?"

"Hmm... not entirely, but you can understand it that way."

"I'm willing!"

Tang Ruan didn't hesitate.

"Soaking damage can be very dangerous, and you will often get hurt."

"What does that matter? If I don't get hurt, wouldn't you be the one getting hurt? I am willing to be hurt in your place."

"You..."

Zhao Chi was a bit moved.

No wonder so many lords end up with their subjects.

It shouldn't just be about coveting the beauty of the subjects.

There must also be a lot of genuine affection involved.

Gu Qing smiled: "Tang Ruan, if you get hurt, I will treat you immediately. It's just that it will be very painful when you get hurt, so you need to be mentally prepared."

Tang Ruan nodded: "Yes, it will hurt, I understand. Thank you, Sister Gu."

Gu Qing chuckled: "What are you thanking me for? If you soak the damage, we should be the ones thanking you. But don't worry, my Physique is also 8 points, so I will help you share the pressure."

Tang Ruan nodded: "So I should thank Sister Gu even more."

Gu Qing smiled gently at her.

Then she said to Zhao Chi: "Your little beauty has a pretty good personality; I like her."

Zhao Chi said: "That's great. I was quite worried about you all having conflicts. If there really is a conflict, you must explain it early; don't let it become a knot in your heart."

Gu Qing said confidently: "Don't worry, I'm a woman, I know exactly what women are thinking. With me here, I guarantee to keep these women of yours happy, and they will serve you joyfully every day."

Zhao Chi laughed: "How do you know everything?"

Gu Qing licked her lips.

She revealed a mysterious smile.

Her expression became very charming.

"I know plenty more. When there's an opportunity, I guarantee to make you linger and forget to return, with your legs going weak."

Hearing this, Zhao Chi inevitably thought of some scenes.

Like the 108 styles of sowing seeds.

He felt a bit thirsty.

He swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

Seeing him swallow, Gu Qing covered her mouth and giggled.

At this moment, a female villager called Tang Ruan over.

Tang Ruan returned quickly.

She was holding two small vests.

One was large, and the other was even larger.

"Sister Gu, our small vests are all done. Yours is the biggest, put it on quickly."

Gu Qing extended her index finger.

She hooked the small vest over.

The size of this vest was indeed very large, as Gu Qing's figure was quite explosive.

If it weren't made larger, she wouldn't be able to wear it.

Gu Qing asked in a charming voice: "My lord, do you want to help me put it on?"

Tang Ruan was stunned: "Ah? Does the lord want to help us put them on?"

Zhao Chi knew Gu Qing was just playing around with him.

This was her personality at work.

After all, her loyalty is average, and the intimacy level hasn't been unlocked yet.

If he really went to touch the big soft melons, Gu Qing wouldn't let him touch them.

Zhao Chi looked away: "No, you all put them on yourselves."

Gu Qing smiled and stopped teasing him.

Soon, everyone was dressed.

And everyone had a pair of simple cloth shoes.

These women are not professional tailors.

The clothes and shoes they made can only be used temporarily.

It probably won't last more than a few days.

But this is enough. Once the tailor shop is built, they can be trained into professional tailors.

Next, it's time to wipe out the goblins.

If they are not wiped out in time, they might take advantage of the night to launch a sneak attack.

That would put us in a passive position.

And most importantly, there are some supplies in the goblin camp.

Such as wood, stone, fur, iron ingots, etc.

These resources can be obtained by oneself, but it takes time.

Seizing them directly is the most convenient and fastest way.

Every lord has an enemy camp after opening a new territory.

The race and difficulty vary.

Yang Xiong said his orc hero smashed a bandit, so the one in his territory is a bandit camp.

The one in Lu Yi's video just now was a troll, so the one in her territory is a troll camp.

Troll camps are high difficulty, but the resources that can be obtained are also more.

The one in Zhao Chi's territory is clearly a goblin camp.

Goblins are not difficult to deal with individually.

It mainly depends on the overall number of the enemy.

Now that the attributes of those women have all recovered, they can go into battle.

Zhao Chi ordered: "Everyone, go find a handy tool. We are going to wipe out the goblins. Preliminary estimates suggest there are about 20-30 of them, so don't be nervous."

Hearing that they were going to fight, the female villagers actually seemed very excited.

They all went to grab weapons.

3 women took tool hammers, 3 took fish spears, and 3 took logging axes.

Zhao Chi, Gu Qing, and Tang Ruan all took wood-chopping knives.

They also took some ropes to tie up prisoners later.

No one took hunting bows.

After all, hunting bows are really not needed to deal with a small number of goblins.

The mental state of these women was clearly different.

They were all eager to try.

It was a completely different look from their gloomy state before eating.

Zhao Chi still tried to ask: "Is anyone nervous? I can help you boost your morale and eliminate the nervousness."

The women looked at each other and laughed.

"My lord, don't underestimate us."

"That's right, we are no longer affected by the negative effects of being newborns, no one is nervous."

"Don't worry, my lord, as long as you give the order, we will definitely rush up to kill the enemy, never hesitating."

Zhao Chi nodded and looked at Tang Ruan again.

The encouragement status on her had long since expired.

I wonder what she is thinking now.

Tang Ruan was a bit embarrassed: "My lord, you know, I was just affected by the newborn state, so I was a bit timid. But now it's completely different, please rest assured. Whether it's killing enemies or soaking damage, I will do my best."

As expected of a race with the Fearless talent.

They really seem to be fearless.

Zhao Chi laughed: "Good, then let's set off."

"Set off!"

The women raised their weapons high and shouted excitedly.

The sound was clear and carried far.

Very good.

They really have high spirits.

The direction the goblin pointed just now was northwest.

The distance is about 3 kilometers.

Zhao Chi's current territory is only 10 square kilometers.

If it's 3 kilometers to the northwest, it's almost at the edge of the territory.

Transporting supplies later will be a bit troublesome, as the distance is not short.

But it doesn't matter.

These women all have 6 points of Strength, so they can carry quite a lot each time.

The transport speed won't be slow.

A distance of 3 kilometers takes an ordinary person about 35 minutes to walk.

These women will probably need 20-30 minutes.

If they jog, they can definitely arrive within 20 minutes.

If they run at full speed, it can be shortened to under 12 minutes.

But... Zhao Chi can't.

Zhao Chi really didn't expect that in front of these female subjects, his attributes are now the lowest.
