Chapter 2416

"Actually, what you're asking isn't important—who cares what the reason is? What matters is still fists.

"But you beat someone up today, so you'll definitely get revenge. Be careful."

Zhao Chi nodded.

What the two security soldiers said was all about the previous grudge.

That's true.

The nobles' rule had only been overthrown a few months ago, so the grudge between these two groups must also be from before.

The cause and effect really don't matter.

What really matters is fists.

Zhao Chi asked: "Alright, thanks to you both. How are the other people?"

The security soldier on the right said: "That staff member has already been released—she was the one who got beaten, it's not her fault. The other lord has been taken away by the Xuanwu Group. Now we're just waiting for your group's people to come and take you and that female lord away. Just wait a bit longer."

The security soldier on the left said: "Any other questions?"

Zhao Chi smiled: "No more."

Both security soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

Earning that one gold coin so easily made them very happy.

Not long after, a security soldier outside knocked on the door.

"It's fine, someone's here. Let him out."

The security soldier inside smiled at Zhao Chi: "Alright, let's go."

Both Zhao Chi and Su Qin were released.

It seemed a fine had been paid.

At the entrance of the security station stood a female lord.

Young and beautiful, with twin ponytails.

She was Gongsun Bai, Li Ruanyu's direct subordinate lord, with squad-leader-level strength.

Gongsun Bai looked at Su Qin and smiled: "That wasn't easy, Su Qin. I never thought you'd get arrested for fighting?"

Su Qin shook her head: "Mainly because the other side was too bullying."

Gongsun Bai said: "I understand. Zhao Chi, how are you? I heard you didn't suffer any losses?"

Zhao Chi smiled: "No, but let's not talk about this at the security station entrance. Let's go."

Gongsun Bai smiled: "As long as you didn't suffer any losses. I still need to go find Sister Ruanyu. Should I send you two back first?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "No, I still need to go to the exchange to buy some things."

Su Qin said in surprise: "Going again?"

Zhao Chi said matter-of-factly: "Of course, I haven't bought the stuff yet. Half an hour wasted for nothing."

Gongsun Bai said: "I'd suggest you go back immediately. Although we paid the fine, we did beat the other side after all, and they'll definitely seek revenge. Still, be careful."

"Alright, how much did you pay? I'll give it to you."

"Haha, no need, the squad covered it. So you don't need me to send you?"

"No need, thank you. Sorry for the trouble of making you come all this way."

"It's what I should do. Then I'll get going. You two be careful. Bye-bye, Su Qin."

Su Qin waved: "Mm, see you later. You be careful too."

"Don't worry."

Gongsun Bai turned and left.

Su Qin, however, said with some worry: "How about you don't go to the exchange, and I'll go alone? Tell me what you need and I'll buy it for you."

Zhao Chi shook his head: "It's fine. You can't avoid things by hiding. We didn't start the trouble, what are we afraid of? Let's go!"

"Alright…"

Su Qin hugged Zhao Chi's arm again, and the two headed toward the exchange once more.

The first floor of the exchange was still bustling as usual, completely unaffected.

After Zhao Chi and Su Qin went in, nobody paid them any attention at all.

The two headed toward the second floor again.

But the moment they reached the second floor, Zhao Chi froze.

Behind that inspection counter was still that eye-rolling female staff member.

He didn't expect her to have come back to work already?

The staff member's face showed terror, and she stared blankly at Zhao Chi, not daring to move a muscle.

Zhao Chi walked straight up.

Just as he was about to display the system's identity data, the female staff member had already opened the small wooden door and didn't check either of them at all.

Very good.

Zhao Chi and Su Qin went straight in, found two teams, and got back in line.

The lords queuing here were basically all newcomers too; nobody knew what had just happened. Only the staff behind the counter exchanged glances, but there was no other reaction.

Zhao Chi and Su Qin opened the system and received the current inventory information.

Zhao Chi immediately began browsing.

There were two browsing directions in total.

【Bloodline】 【Items】

He clicked directly into the Bloodline interface.

Completely empty.

Not a single one.

Huh?

What's going on?

He turned his head and asked, "Su Qin, take a look at the bloodline list—is there really nothing on it?"

Su Qin nodded. "Yes, I refreshed it several times, no bloodlines at all."

Zhao Chi said helplessly, "Got it, let's ask a staff member in a bit."

At that moment, the lord ahead turned back. "You didn't get the notice?"

Zhao Chi didn't understand why he said that.

But that lord's attitude was normal.

When they entered the second floor this time, the female staff member who verified the lord's identity simply opened the door directly, without announcing the two's White Tiger Regiment identity like she had earlier.

So no one knew Zhao Chi and the others were lords of the White Tiger Regiment.

So the surrounding lords' attitudes were perfectly normal.

Zhao Chi said, "Didn't notice, what's going on?"

The lord ahead said, "A few days ago, as soon as the battle started, a lot of supplies were bought up by the regiment at low prices—especially bloodlines, which were all snapped up as strategic materials, and plenty of props were gone too. If you want bloodlines, you'll have to wait until the battle ends."

"Oh, thanks."

"No problem."

So that's how it is.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

Bloodlines could be broken down into genes.

Although for most lords, the odds of finding genes suited to their own race weren't high, and the better the gene, the lower the success rate.

But as long as enough bloodlines could be broken down, they would eventually be able to refine quite a few good genes.

Now that the battle had erupted and the werewolves were pressing in fiercely, the Black Tortoise Regiment did indeed need to boost its strength in every aspect.

Improving genes through bloodlines was also a very direct part of strengthening themselves.

It was understandable.

And under these circumstances, if the Black Tortoise Regiment wanted to buy at low prices, most lords would agree.

There was nothing to be done about it.

Zhao Chi felt a bit frustrated.

Sitting on a pile of gold coins with nowhere to spend them.

Then he could only take a look at the props.

But the props had been affected too.
