Chapter 2420

They're all workers, and most of them are normal.

Even if they have complaints in their hearts, they'll hide them.

After all, the lord of the White Tiger Group is still a lord; if a real conflict breaks out, it's these ordinary workers who'll suffer.

Someone like the worker who just rolled his eyes is really a rarity.

Soon, the line reached Zhao Chi.

"Hello, Mr., what service do you need?"

"Post a bounty."

"Alright, please open your identity information and provide the bounty details."

Zhao Chi registered all the blueprints or improvement manuals he still needed, including men's clothing and some props he wanted.

And he registered them at 5 times the normal market price.

Since he's not short on money, he'll use money to buy efficiency.

He refuses to believe that at 5 times the price, he still can't quickly buy all kinds of fashion blueprints?

That worker fell silent for a moment after seeing Zhao Chi's identity information and bounty list.

"What is it? Can't the lord of the White Tiger Group register?"

Zhao Chi asked.

"Ah! No, no, you've misunderstood. I wanted to ask... is there no mistake in your bounty price? I must remind you, this price is very high."

So it was about the price.

He thought the White Tiger Group's lord wasn't allowed to register.

"That's right, that's the price."

"Well... would you like to post it anonymously? After all, your identity... I'm afraid it might affect the completion of your bounty."

Anonymous?

Zhao Chi understood what this worker meant.

He meant well.

He was afraid that if others saw Zhao Chi's identity was from the White Tiger Group, they wouldn't come complete his tasks.

Damn it...

This really sucks.

Anonymous?

Anonymize my ass!

"No need for anonymity. Double the bounty amount for every single one of my items. I refuse to believe no one will complete my tasks."

Doubling the bounty amount again means it's 10 times the market price.

If a normal blueprint's market price is 4 gold coins, then now it's a 40-gold-coin bounty.

A very attractive price.

That worker hesitated a little, afraid Zhao Chi was just talking out of spite.

But Zhao Chi truly didn't care.

He cared neither about the money nor about others knowing he was the one buying blueprints.

What's the big deal?

Besides, things are different now; there's no need to be overly cautious.

Before, he was afraid of dying; it wasn't that he truly wanted to act like a coward.

Now it's different.

Zhao Chi really wasn't that afraid anymore.

He wouldn't go out of his way to provoke or bully others. If the other party was friendly, Zhao Chi would even be willing to return the favor tenfold.

For example, before, out of respect for Lu Yi and Yang Xiong, he could give Lu Yi's sister Lu Qing multiple fashion items for free.

He even gave quite a few fashion items to Cao Feng, with whom he'd previously had conflicts.

Those fashion items were worth a fortune, worth at least several hundred gold coins.

But what if someone picks a fight?

Then Zhao Chi now has the ability to handle it.

At this moment, Su Qin advised: "Zhao Chi, think about it again. Most of those capable of completing your tasks are lords, and they're all lords of the Black Tortoise Group here. There's no need to let them gain such huge profits out of spite. Your current bounty amount is already very attractive."

Hmm...

That also makes sense.

Such a good deal shouldn't be earned so easily by the Black Tortoise Group people, and even if they earn it, they shouldn't earn this much.

Forget about 10 times.

But 5 times is still needed; after all, it's necessary to boost the lords' enthusiasm for completing tasks.

Zhao Chi said: "Fine, make it anonymous. The bounty stays the same as it is now."

The worker nodded: "Alright, no problem."

Zhao Chi asked again: "Are there any other services? For example, promoting my bounty? Or pinning it to the top?"

The worker nodded:

"Yes, pinning to the top costs more. It can be pinned for a maximum of 1 hour per day, costing 300 gold coins per day.

"If it's displayed on the front page, it can be on the front page for 2 hours per day, costing 100 gold coins per day.

"There's also an active search service. If lords actively search for items related to your bounty, your bounty will be prioritized in their search results. This can be active all day, costing only 20 gold coins per day.

"Which service do you need?"

It really isn't cheap.

But it's worth buying.

"The first item, one day. The third item, five days."

"Alright, here's the fee slip."

"No problem!"

Once the fee was paid, everything was done.

They could leave.

When the bounty had news, Zhao Chi's system would be notified.

"Let's go, Su Qin, we're going shopping."

Su Qin hesitated a little: "How about another day… after all, we just finished a battle, there's still work to do in the territory, and if I'm the only one out shopping while Tang Ruan and Qi Yue are both working, I feel guilty."

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "It's fine, let's just take a quick look first, browse the local shops briefly, and when you have time you can bring the two of them out together for a more detailed look — consider it a preview to get familiar with the shops."

"If you put it that way… sure! Hehe."

The shops in Shu Bei Town really weren't just worth browsing for women — men could browse them too.

After all, besides the clothing stores that interested women, there were plenty of weapon shops, armor shops, medicine shops, and so on.

Zhao Chi could browse too.

Soon, two hours passed.

The two of them browsed through everything in Shu Bei Town and both main north-south streets.

Su Qin bought quite a few bits and pieces of women's items, while Zhao Chi was pleasantly surprised to have bought another four blueprints.

"Nurse White Stockings Blueprint," "Witch Hat Improvement Manual," "Spirit Staff Improvement Manual," "Holy Staff Improvement Manual"

Another piece of the nurse outfit set was collected, but to complete the full set a few more were still needed.

But the witch hat was a fashion item he hadn't seen before — it was also a set piece, belonging to the witch outfit set.

That wasn't bad.

The nurse outfit was definitely for the Silk Clan to use — it would absolutely boost healing ability.

And this witch outfit set was for the Warm Clan to use, able to boost spiritual technique effects.

Actually, the fashion shop also had these two sets.

But the problem was the fashion shop sets' attributes were very ordinary.

They couldn't compare at all with these ordinary single-piece fashion items Zhao Chi made.

Even a full nurse outfit set or witch outfit set had attributes roughly equal to, or even worse than, the effect of one or two of Zhao Chi's single-piece fashion items.

So there really was no need to buy them for the Silk Clan and Warm Clan to wear.

But if Zhao Chi made them himself, it would be different.
