Chapter 2459

After all, a woman like Su Qin walking down the street would be hard not to attract attention.

The other half of the reason, of course, is that they are lords of the White Tiger Regiment.

However, the soldiers outside showed no other reaction, only kept sizing her up.

Su Qin sighed: "This feeling really isn't great, Zhao Chi, let go of me, I want to change into leather armor."

Zhao Chi released Su Qin's hand.

Su Qin instantly switched from fashion mode to equipment mode.

A suit of leather armor wrapped her entire body.

Although her lovely figure still showed through the outline of the leather armor, it was at least much better than before.

"Let's go."

Su Qin retracted her gauntlets, then took Zhao Chi's arm and headed outside the military camp.

The main street was still bustling and lively.

The hum of voices filled the air.

Saying it was a stream of cars and horses would be completely accurate.

Such a large population didn't look like a town-level territory at all.

Presumably this place had also continuously absorbed large numbers of people after the outbreak of the Anti-Noble War, with quite a few people from war-torn territories nearby coming here.

The vast majority were ordinary people.

Of course, these ordinary people weren't a burden either.

After all, the only difference between them and lords was that they didn't have a territory.

They had no territory to manage, so all their time could be spent on themselves.

There were quite a few professional craftsmen and warriors among them.

And their skills were all very strong.

After all, to survive in this kind of world, without one outstanding ability, it would be hard to establish oneself.

When Zhao Chi was in school, he had also considered hiring some such craftsmen and warriors after becoming a lord.

But later, when he actually became a lord, gained powerful hidden talents, and his race also changed to an all-female race, he gave up on this idea.

Now he was also developing quite well.

"Zhao Chi, look, aren't those members of the Blazing Fire Squad?"

Su Qin pointed at the weapon shop beside them.

There were quite a few people inside the shop, and a few of them did look familiar.

However, Zhao Chi only knew he had seen them before, but didn't know exactly which squad they belonged to.

Since Su Qin said they were from the Blazing Fire Squad, then they must be.

Zhao Chi nodded: "Not just the weapon shop, I also saw quite a few lords of the White Tiger Regiment in the accessory shop and deli shop earlier."

Su Qin said: "Really? Look over there, Geng Zhan and the others are in the shield shop across the street."

Zhao Chi looked into the distance.

He indeed saw Geng Zhan and Fu Yi.

"Do you want to go over and say hello?"

Su Qin smiled and hugged Zhao Chi's arm tighter: "No need to go over there on purpose, let's keep walking."

The two of them walked all the way toward the trading house.

Along the way, they saw even more familiar faces.

A few of them even greeted Su Qin enthusiastically.

However, when they saw Su Qin affectionately clinging to Zhao Chi's arm, they all paused for a moment, then also greeted Zhao Chi along the way.

There were quite a few lords of the White Tiger Regiment on the main street today.

It seemed they had also learned from the group chat that the nearby shops held no hostility toward the White Tiger Regiment, so they all came.

Of course, most of these shops were privately opened and were all very small.

But fortunately, there were many of them.

Just shield shops alone, there were 3 on this street.

There were also quite a few comprehensive armor shops, or shops selling single-type armor like gauntlet shops, helmet shops, combat boot shops, and so on.

There were even more weapon shops.

Basically all single-category.

For example, blades, bows, spears.

The goods in these private shops were basically all forged and made by themselves, so naturally they specialized in one particular field.

Usually the quality was passable.

The only downside was that the quantity wasn't that much.

Small shops had a few dozen pieces of equipment, and even the larger ones didn't exceed a thousand pieces.

After all, the target customers of these shops were ordinary people, ordinary warriors.

Facing lords, it would certainly be a bit of a stretch.

But it wasn't absolute either.

Some lords were also willing to browse around here; after all, they could occasionally buy some high-quality equipment, which was also good for equipping themselves or their subordinate heroes.

Those capable of facing lords were only the medium and large shops.

Some medium-sized shops were opened by private lords, produced by craftsmen in their territories, then brought out to sell.

Some were jointly opened by multiple craftsmen.

Medium-sized shops had even more goods, enough for village- and town-level lords to purchase.

But for larger lords, if they didn't go to the exchange, they would go to large shops.

These large shops were either opened by local powers, or by an entire clan, or by merchant guilds from other cities.

When Zhao Chi came yesterday, he had already inquired about the Ruby Merchant Guild.

As it turned out, the Ruby Merchant Guild had not opened any shop here.

A bit of a pity.

Soon, the two arrived at a huge crossroads.

The crowd here was even denser.

All kinds of horse carriages and spirit-energy vehicles could barely move an inch.

Zhao Chi looked south, then looked north.

To Su Qin, who was leaning against him, he said, "Su Qin, let's split up. I'll go to the exchange to buy Swift-Work Talismans, and you go to the mission hall to post a Swift-Work Talisman bounty. That way it'll be faster."

Su Qin asked, "Isn't it unsafe? How about I stay with you?"

Zhao Chi shook his head and said, "Look, the streets are full of White Tiger Regiment lords—it's fine. Besides, I can protect myself now. Splitting up is faster, and on the way back we'll still have time to browse the shops along the street."

Su Qin laughed and said, "Shopping again? Is it because you got a blueprint last time and tasted the sweetness? Fine, let's split up, and leave some time for shopping. How much should we set the Swift-Work Talisman bounty at?"

Zhao Chi considered briefly.

Normally speaking.

One Swift-Work Talisman sold for around 40 to 50 silver coins.

Recently the price had risen, so roughly 50 silver coins.

If they bought in bulk, the silver-coin price would surely spike sharply in the short term.

Then the bounty amount would also have to rise.

But Swift-Work Talismans were very common items, so the price couldn't be set too high.

Moreover, even if the amount rose, it would only be temporary.

Then they'd set the purchase cap at 60 silver coins.

Zhao Chi said, "At 60 silver coins per talisman, the target purchase quantity is set at 50,000 talismans, and the purchase period starts from 12 noon today."

Su Qin nodded continuously: "Understood, then I'll head off first. If anything comes up, contact me right away—I'll come over immediately."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Mm, you too—contact me if anything happens."

"Okay~"

Su Qin waved her hand and turned to head south.

Very quickly, her slim, curvy figure disappeared into the crowd.

Zhao Chi continued north.
