Chapter 2407: Garrison North Town (2)

Aquatic races possessing this gene seemed to be quite common, but flying races were rare.

The genes of water-type creatures' spirits were naturally incompatible with flying races, and not easy to modify.

After all, the compatibility wasn't high, and the success rate was very low.

But wanting to modify this lubricating skin was very difficult.

Perhaps flying races had their own similar genes.

It seemed related to feathers.

This gene seemed to have an additional compatibility bonus for Taoyuan women; after all, a 33% compatibility was already not low.

But it didn't matter.

With the Flower-Replacing-Jade ability, this kind of data had already lost its meaning for Zhao Chi.

Although the Taoyuan race basically wouldn't fight in water, being able to reduce air resistance was also very good.

The more of this kind of auxiliary gene, the better.

Modify!

Zhao Chi opened the system space, searching for "Race Gene Expansion Stone."

The result—he didn't find it……

He had already used them all up long ago.

Where would he have any extras?

Damn it……

But it didn't matter, he could go buy some.

Having just arrived at this Garrison North Town, Zhao Chi also wanted to go check out the trading house.

There were definitely good things there—whatever he ran into, he'd buy it all back.

He still had over 80,000 gold coins now.

He could go on a buying spree.

Seeing this number of 80,000 gold coins, Zhao Chi suddenly thought of Shopkeeper Wanyan.

This female merchant still owed Zhao Chi goods worth over 80,000 gold coins that hadn't been delivered.

The first batch of goods was originally supposed to be delivered at the beginning of the month, but then the werewolves came and completely disrupted the entire plan.

Later they considered trading in the spatial rift, but now the rift was full of werewolves, and there was no way to get over there at all.

Moreover, Gu Qing's resurrection still needed 17 days, so there was also no way to contact Shopkeeper Wanyan.

This was a bit troublesome……

However, Zhao Chi remembered that Li Ruanyu also had contact with Shopkeeper Wanyan.

In that case, he'd have Li Ruanyu pass along her contact information.

Have Tang Ruan contact her.

One was to remind her not to go to the spatial rift, so as not to be attacked by werewolves.

The other was to rearrange a trading location.

Zhao Chi immediately sent the situation to Li Ruanyu.

Li Ruanyu was probably busy; only after a while did she send Shopkeeper Wanyan's contact information over.

Li Ruanyu: 【Zhao Chi, I just tried to contact her, but I couldn't reach her at all. She must not be within the communication range of our formation. You can try contacting her anytime later.】

Zhao Chi: 【Okay.】

Zhao Chi immediately tried to contact her as well.

Sure enough, the system prompted that the communication failed.

After all, this kind of communication all went through formations.

Previously, the formations of the entire Snowfield City were interconnected, so one could contact every person within Snowfield City's range.

But now multiple factions each controlled part of the formations, and for safety, factions would of course cut the connections between formations.

Now Zhao Chi could only contact people within the World-Breaking Army's faction territory.

Shopkeeper Wanyan clearly wasn't here.

He also didn't know where she'd gone.

After the battle broke out, Zhao Chi had once had Gu Qing invite her to take refuge here, but she refused, saying she had a place to take refuge.

He hoped she was safe.

She absolutely must not die.

Zhao Chi wasn't actually heartbroken over those 80,000 gold coins; after all, he had only paid a 25,000 deposit, and these 25,000 gold coins could be easily earned back.

What Zhao Chi was heartbroken over was those goods.

Waited so long, and in the end they were gone?

That was the most annoying part.

No use thinking about this now—set Shopkeeper Wanyan's matter aside for the moment, and go check out the trading house first.

Zhao Chi looked at the gold coins on him—only a few thousand, not enough.

He needed to go find Su Qin and get some.

Just as he was thinking of her, she came back too.

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "How convenient, give me all the money, I'm going to make a trip to the trading house."

"The trading house?" Su Qin's voice was noticeably a little excited: "I want to go too, I'll go with you, alright?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "Of course that's fine, but don't you need to rest?"

"No need, only my arms are tired—these two legs and feet aren't tired at all, thanks to you massaging them for me every night."

"... Not really? I was just touching it."

"Oh... is that so?"

"Yes."

"Mm... let's just say so. You don't need to worry about Chaoge Town. Tang Ruan and Qi Yue have already dealt with a few of the captive ringleaders who weren't willing to submit. Most of the rest are also werewolf captives, who've been disciplined into being very obedient. And with those female overseers and female soldiers keeping things in check, there's no way they'll cause trouble. My territory there also has subordinates managing it. We can set out!"

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "Alright, let's head out now."

"Let's go!"

The two instantly teleported to the garrison camp at Shubei Town.

This was a small area set aside on its own.

Ahead was a large training ground, where quite a few soldiers were training.

They still didn't know where the trading post was.

Su Qin smiled and said: "Why not just ask? It's only a town, it won't be that big."

She looked left and right, and noticed that among the 8 soldiers standing guard at the gate, one of them had been staring at her the whole time.

Seeing Su Qin look over, that soldier quickly turned his head away.

Let's just ask him!

Su Qin and Zhao Chi walked up to the gate, where that soldier was standing ramrod straight.

Su Qin politely asked: "Hello, could you tell me where the trading post here is?"

That soldier immediately looked up.

"G-go straight along this central main street, walk until you reach the big crossroads ahead, turn north, go about 100 meters, and you'll be there. It's on the west side of the road, with lots of people."

"Okay, thank you~"

"N-no... no problem."

That soldier actually stuttered when he spoke?
