Chapter 2052: Captain Meeting (5)

Gongsun Bai was eating happily.

Seeing Zhao Chi looking at him, he smiled and asked, "What? You want some too?"

"No, no, no. I have a question I'd like to ask."

Zhao Chi quickly waved his hand, thinking to himself, why is she just like Tang Ruan?

"Ask away? Haha, go ahead!"

Gongsun Bai wiped his mouth and looked at Zhao Chi seriously.

Zhao Chi quietly voiced the question that had been on his mind.

Gongsun Bai smiled and said, "A Pangu Axe fragment doesn't have that much energy. It can't connect to the lords of other cities—it's too far. You'd need a Pangu Axe remnant for that."

"So it's that simple a reason… Got it, thanks."

Gongsun Bai added, "But even with a Pangu Axe remnant, actually transferring people probably wouldn't be all that convenient."

Zhao Chi pressed, "What do you mean?"

Gongsun Bai explained, "Having lords go through the split passage to other cities—that's basically the same as giving up their own territory, isn't it?"

"Give up territory? Not giving it up. Why not just set up a connection point in another city?"

"How would that work? If you're too far from your own territory, even you yourself can't enter it. The connection point won't sense anything either—what's there to set up?"

"I see…"

No wonder when he had followed the merchant caravan before, the connection point had to be transferred into the caravan.

So that was the reasoning behind it.

Gongsun Bai went on, "And if our thousand-plus lords want to bring their subjects along, that's a population in the tens of millions. Not to mention there may not be enough time—even if there were, moving them over would be a huge hassle. Food, resettlement—everything's a problem. Unless a lord only brings his elites and abandons most of his subjects."

"Understood, thanks."

"No need to thank me. Want some?"

"No, no, you go ahead and eat."

"Oh."

Gongsun Bai tucked back into his meal with great gusto.

Zhao Chi looked over toward Li Ruanyu again.

Guan Zhiyong asked, "Ruanyu, you just said besides materials, there's other things you need? What are they? Just say it."

Li Ruanyu smiled and said, "I need a lot. I hope our White Tiger Regiment can support it."

Jiang Chen said, "Just say it. I'll go to Commander Yao's side and put in the request for you. After all, you already got the Taiyi Wheel remnant—other things are nothing compared to that. And the fashion items and equipment you've made are extremely valuable. You've earned the right to set conditions."

Li Ruanyu nodded and smiled, "Then I won't be polite. First, I need 2 World Stones."

"World Stones?"

Every captain looked at Li Ruanyu in surprise.

Zhao Chi's heart skipped a beat.

She wouldn't be asking for these on my behalf, would she?

Jiang Chen's brows furrowed tightly.

"World Stones… our regiment only has 1 left. I know the Phantom Squadron has 1, but they… I'll do my best to get it for you."

Li Ruanyu smiled, "Thank you, Commander Jiang. Then I also need an 'Angel Race Bloodline.'"

Every lord was startled.

Zhao Chi could be sure now—Li Ruanyu was asking for these on his behalf.

After all, it was Zhao Chi who actually made the fashion items and equipment, and Zhao Chi who did the hard work.

Li Ruanyu certainly wouldn't let him toil for nothing. Her own man—she had to cherish him herself.

And the value of the supplies Zhao Chi produced was absolutely more, not less.

Far more, in fact.

Li Ruanyu looked like she was asking for the moon, but what she was actually asking for wasn't much.

Guan Zhiyong shook his head and sighed, "Ruanyu, you really know how to ask. But Angel Bloodlines are rare—our regiment probably doesn't have one, right?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Yeah, I haven't heard of anyone getting an Angel Bloodline. Yibing, do you have any news on your end?"

Lu Yibing shook her head, "Really nothing. Even if someone got one before, they would've used it long ago. I don't have any related information on my side either."

Li Ruanyu nodded, "That's fine. You can help me ask around—if anyone has one, give it to me."

Jiang Chen promised, "Don't worry, I'll go ask right away."

Lu Yibing said, "I'll keep an eye out too."

Li Ruanyu nodded, "Thank you. Then I also need some 'Mysterious Lady Ruler Fragments.' Of course, a Mysterious Lady Ruler remnant would be even better. The more the merrier—I'll use them to reset fashion and equipment attributes."

Li Yanhui immediately said, "I have one. I'll give it to you right now."

Saying so, she handed it over.

Li Ruanyu smiled, "Thank you, Chief Captain Li."

"It's nothing."

Feng Liyan said, "One of my subordinates seems to have one. Let me go find him in a bit."

"Alright, thank you, Captain Feng."

"Don't mention it."

Gu Zhan said, "Our exchange seems to have listed one yesterday. I'll go ask the person in charge in a bit—we should be able to get it."

"That's great. Looks like there are at least three." Li Ruanyu gave a light laugh.

Jiang Chen said, "We'll keep asking for you. Every lord will be asked, and we'll get it to you as soon as possible—after all, this involves equipment attributes. Go on, what else do you want?"

"I also need a 'Kunlun Mirror Fragment,' or a 'Medium Building Mirror Stone.'"

Jiang Chen nodded. "There are fewer Kunlun Mirror shards, but there seem to be some mid-grade building Mirror Stones — we'll help you find them all later."

Li Ruanyu said, "These are very key props — you absolutely must find more of them, because I have a special Carefree Spring. You can take a look at its attributes."

Li Ruanyu once again sent out the Carefree Spring's information.

This was also done with Zhao Chi's consent.
