Chapter 2035

Not a single message.

For example, the Stream Village group, and the Zhao family group.

Because they are all in River Valley Town.

Normally, River Valley Town and Horn Cliff Town can transmit messages through their formation arrays.

But now things aren't normal.

The werewolves have already pushed in between the two towns, completely cutting off communications.

Moreover, the formation arrays of both towns have already exhausted their energy and can no longer communicate with each other.

Now Zhao Chi can only receive messages from lords within the same formation array in Horn Cliff Town.

Fortunately, control of Horn Cliff Town's formation array is still in the hands of the World-Breaking Army.

Otherwise communications would be completely sealed off.

Zhao Chi sent messages to Li Ruanyu and Su Qin respectively.

Li Ruanyu only replied with four words:

【Meeting, later】

Su Qin, on the other hand, was quite happy and teleported directly to Penglai Town.

She came running lightly on tiptoes.

Seeing her, Zhao Chi gave a slight smile: "Why did you come over directly? Is the territory cleaned up?"

Su Qin grinned and handed over a round stone: "This is for you, you'll definitely find a use for it."

Zhao Chi recognized it at a glance as a Racial Gene Expansion Stone.

"Nice stuff, where did you get it?"

Su Qin stuffed the expansion stone into Zhao Chi's hand.

"We fought a werewolf lord with 9,700 combat power, and that lord summoned a female lord. I searched it out from that female lord. You'll definitely find a use for it, right?"

"It's useful, thanks."

"No need to thank me. Last time you gave yours to me, and I've been thinking about finding another one for you ever since. And I just happened to get one directly, haha."

Su Qin laughed very happily.

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "Given our current situation, you can still smile like that — aren't you worried at all?"

"Mm… of course I'm worried, but what can we do? Worst case, I'll elope with you all. Anyway, Sister Gu Qing said that at the very end we can sever the connection — either take a risk through the spatial rift to another city, or just drift again in the Sea of Worlds. Either way, I'm definitely staying with you all."

"Alright then."

It seemed the trials of her background had given Su Qin this optimistic personality — not bad at all.

Zhao Chi pointed at the wooden carts transporting things nonstop in the distance.

"This time we seized a large amount of equipment — it's all for you. There are even women's refined steel armor sets. Although they're exotic armor, you can definitely wear them."

"Really? You don't want them?"

"What do you think?"

"Oh, hehe, then I'll take them. How many?"

"Not too many refined steel armor sets — 188 in total. But there are plenty of steel armor sets, 2,400 of them. You can have the female elves wear them. There are also over 10,000 sets of iron armor and refined iron armor. Give them to the melee infantry to swap in — they should come in handy."

"How many!?"

Su Qin stared in surprise at the wooden carts one after another.

Zhao Chi laughed: "You've been following me for quite some time now, haven't you? Why are you still so jumpy?"

Su Qin shook her head: "No, it's just that the quantity is way too much, isn't it? What combat-power lord did you fight?"

"Actually fought a 200,000 combat-power lord, but wiped out 400,000 combat power."

"…Wow, wow, wow, you're already this powerful now?"

"Not really — I'm still far behind those captains and regiment commanders."

"Why compare yourself to them? They've been lords for many years, and you've only been one for four months… At this rate, you simply won't be able to hide your strength."

"It doesn't matter. Now Li Ruanyu is helping me cover it up. If even she can't cover it up, then there's no need to hide it."

"Alright… If you wiped out 200,000 combat-power werewolves, then it wouldn't be strange for them to have this much equipment in stock… Then I'll take it all. When exactly are you going to use me? I keep getting your troops and equipment, but you've never used me even once."

"Don't I use you every night?"

"Aiya, that's not what I mean."

"There'll be a chance. You're still… a bit weak right now."

"You… fine, compared to you I really am weak. But I already have over ten thousand combat power now. Among lords of the same cohort I'm absolutely top-tier. Although it's all because you gave it to me, I'm really not weak right now."

Zhao Chi explained: "I didn't mean anything else — I meant you're not strong enough."

Su Qin pouted: "Isn't that the same thing?"

"Haha, you'll be put to use soon. Besides the armor, there are also tens of thousands of weapons for you, quite a few of refined steel. You can pick some out and equip your elites — that should bump your combat power up another notch. Soon you'll be able to help me."

"Deal!" Hearing this, Su Qin immediately nodded readily.

"Did you get any upgrades this time?"

"Not this time." Su Qin shook her head: "I just leveled up not long ago, and my spiritual techniques and everything have already broken through. So there were no new upgrades this time. This time we defeated a lord with 18,000 combat power and wiped out a lord with 34,000 combat power. The experience wasn't small, but compared to your 200,000… it's far too little."

"It's fine, take it slow. A night's sleep can still add experience."

"Mm, right… I'll head back first. We haven't finished dividing the spoils yet — Xiang Yuan and the others are rushing me."

Zhao Chi couldn't help laughing: "What? Then why did you come over?"

Su Qin laughed: "Didn't I get a Racial Gene Expansion Stone? Since you were talking to me anyway, I just brought it straight over to you. Didn't expect to chat so much with you again. I'll go back and divide the spoils first, and we can talk later. I'll have the equipment and stuff shipped over a bit later too."

"Alright, hurry on back."

"Mm, hehe, bye-bye."

Su Qin vanished in an instant.

Zhao Chi stared at the spot where she had disappeared for a moment, then turned his head.

Taoyuan Village was now bustling everywhere.

Gu Qing and the others each had their own work to attend to.

Zhao Chi quickly adjusted his mood, preparing to continue crafting the steel Mystic Maiden Armor.

At least these 100 hours were enough to make all the Mystic Maiden Armor.

There was no time for anything else.

Leave it to fate.

But before that, Zhao Chi still opened the system, entered Gu Qing and the others' interface, and checked the latest messages.

Zhao Chi had this time advanced two spiritual technique skills in a row; they might have had breakthroughs too.

One look, and indeed a pleasant surprise!

【Character】 Gu Qing

【Spiritual Technique】 Life Healing Technique → Heaven-Returning Technique

Gu Qing had also comprehended a Gao Jie spiritual technique.

Zhao Chi immediately clicked for details.

(Heaven-Returning Technique: Advanced recovery spiritual technique. Consumes 100 points of spiritual power, instantly heals the target for 100 points of life, as well as 50% of base life. Additionally, restores 1% of maximum life per second for 10 seconds.)

The Gao Jie skill of the Healing Technique.

That's quite decent.

It truly matches the strength of an advanced spiritual technique.

Of course, the spiritual power cost is still a high 100 points, but the life restored is also 100 points.

For an ordinary soldier, that's equivalent to their entire life.

But many troop types and races have very high life, such as Zhao Chi's female musketeers, or strong beastmen.

For targets with high base life like them, it can additionally supplement 50% of base life, so the amount restored is quite considerable.

Besides this.

There are also various skills or items that can additionally boost life.

For example, the ladies' underwear costume, the Gigantification Technique, and so on.

For such targets, it can additionally restore 1% of maximum life per second for 10 seconds, recovering a very large amount of life.

The recovery ability is extremely strong.

Of course, this spiritual technique will also receive various bonuses, making its effect even stronger.

Moreover, there are the two words "instantly" in the skill description.
