Chapter 2458: Friction (1)

Although Gu Zhan wanted to stop this kind of topic, he simply couldn't.

There was no way to stop it.

Today quite a few lords had gone out.

After all, the battle had just ended, so there were surely large quantities of supplies that needed to be sold, and they also needed to purchase a lot of supplies.

The trading house was a place almost every lord had to visit frequently.

Although the White Tiger Regiment was going to set up a temporary trading point, it hadn't been successfully established yet.

Moreover, the temporary trading point was only for internal trade within the White Tiger Regiment, whereas the trading house faced everyone, including the Black Tortoise Regiment and all the common people of Shubei Town, with a much wider scope.

So the lords of the White Tiger Regiment still went to the trading house.

Originally the trading house was already very crowded, and today so many lords of the White Tiger Regiment went there, making the originally somewhat spacious second-floor lord trading point also become crowded, which would certainly provoke even more endless complaints from the Black Tortoise Regiment's side.

Of course, not all the lords of the White Tiger Regiment had good tempers, so friction was certainly not lacking.

The mission hall was the same.

The lords all had supplies they wanted to buy but couldn't get, so they needed to post bounty missions.

Or supplies they wanted to purchase at low prices, so they would also post purchase-request missions.

And all kinds of other needs could be posted as missions.

Or if they had supplies they wanted to sell in hand, they would also go to the mission hall first to search, to see if anyone needed them.

After all, in most purchase-request missions, the prices were still very advantageous.

Or accepting missions, and so on.

But the problem was that both the trading house and the mission hall were controlled by the Black Tortoise Regiment.

Even though the staff inside were only commoners, they were surely of the same mind as the Black Tortoise Regiment and held grievances against the White Tiger Regiment.

Quite a few lords of the White Tiger Regiment didn't know the situation within.

Especially the young lords.

So of course the complaints were endless.

Zhao Chi flipped through pages up and down for a long time, but didn't see any useful information.

Nor was any notice posted.

Then forget it.

After all, it had been less than a day since arriving at Shubei Town, so the temporary trading point should be set up by tomorrow or the day after.

Zhao Chi came back to his senses; he had already entered the garment factory.

Then he would devote himself wholeheartedly to making short skirts.

These short skirts were worn by the female craftsmen within the territory and wouldn't be worn outside.

So only Zhao Chi, the one man, could see them, so of course he chose the most, most tantalizing style.

Even though Zhao Chi didn't plan to take these female craftsmen as concubines.

But if they looked more pleasing to the eye, wasn't that even better?

Zhao Chi was a man of simple tastes; he just liked looking at these things.

Who could control him?

Soon, two production cycles ended, and the time came to 9 AM, with a total of 3,700 short skirts made.

A bit faster than expected.

Zhao Chi originally wanted to make more, but then received a system notification.

It was sent by Guan Zhiyong.

【Guan Zhiyong】:

【Everyone, the temporary trading point has now been decided. It's Vice-Regiment Commander Shen Jiyun's territory: Cloud County】

【When it reaches 10 o'clock, Commander Shen will open the permissions, and everyone can go over to trade then】

【However, this trading point was set up rather hastily. When you go over, don't bring personnel or supplies; only the lord themselves can go】

【Otherwise it'll be too chaotic】

【Everyone organize the list of items you want to sell, and you can submit them on-site in a while】

【Cloud County only serves as a centralized trading information hub and does not participate in supply transportation】

【If your trade is successful, both the buyer and seller need to open permissions separately, to transport between your own territories】

【But I need to remind you, there is certainly a gap between a temporary trading point and a professional trading house】

【Some supplies you may have already submitted a purchase application for, but due to lagging inventory updates, it shows as out of stock】

【Or clearly you paid first, but someone who paid later ends up completing the transaction first】

【And so on, and so on】

【This kind of trading phenomenon appearing is very normal. I've experienced it on my side too; almost every time this kind of situation occurs, there's really nothing that can be done about it】

【So this is a normal phenomenon】

【Don't cause trouble for me!】

【If you can buy satisfactory supplies, that's best. If you didn't get them and you're asked to cancel the order, then cancel it properly. Don't whine and complain】

【I've said this upfront; don't blame me then for not looking after my own people】

【Right now the entire White Tiger Regiment is one whole; our entire regiment must unite】

【Between squads, between lords, be goddamn friendly to each other! Don't be like those people from the Black Tortoise Regiment, so annoying!】

【Alright, that's it!】

【These are the coordinates for Cloud County; you can go over after 10 o'clock】

【I'll say it again, you can only go by yourselves, don't bring supplies, otherwise it'll be too chaotic!】

【Just bring the supply list.】

The trading point is finally up.

That wasn't easy.

But it's past nine now; the trading point won't be ready until ten.

There's still almost an hour to go, so he can only wait.

But Zhao Chi doesn't plan to keep crafting during this time.

He can head to the Exchange and the Quest Hall again.

This time the main goal is to buy a large quantity of Swift-Work Talismans.

The target is one million of them.

He still has over 87,000 gold coins now, which is definitely not enough.

But it doesn't matter — the Exchange doesn't have that many Swift-Work Talismans either, so he'll buy however many they have.

Although the Xuanwu Regiment bought up a large amount of supplies and items from the Exchange at low prices, there are still plenty of Swift-Work Talismans left, so he can buy them.

He had wanted to go last night.

But the Exchange closes at night, so Zhao Chi could only make fashion items first.

Then he'll head out now.

Qi Yue doesn't have an identity yet, so it's inconvenient for her to go out.

Zhao Chi had originally planned to go alone, but after thinking about the environment here, he decided to call Su Qin along.

Having one more person is also safer.

Besides, Su Qin is very strong now and can provide Zhao Chi with decent security.

After finding Su Qin, she readily agreed.

The two of them teleported back to the Greater World again.

They still appeared on the training grounds.

When he came out yesterday he wasn't really aware of it, but today Zhao Chi can clearly feel the gazes from all around looking their way.

Half of it is because of Su Qin.
