Chapter 2466

"Of course I'm not saying you're immoral, just that you could choose not to do this — you have a better option.

"So I wanted to talk to you about returning part of it, and choosing a more civilized approach.

"That way everyone's happy,

"What do you say?"

Zhao Chi's brow furrowed.

Why does this sound so off?

His tone was very polite, and his attitude was indeed not bad.

But the meaning of those words… no matter how he listened, something felt wrong.

Zhao Chi couldn't help retorting: "What did you say? How is it inappropriate? How is it immoral? How is it uncivilized? Make yourself clear!"

"You've misunderstood…"

Before Li Cheng could finish explaining, the lords beside them all cried out in shock.

That voice directly drowned out Li Cheng's words.

"My god, those 61,000 Swift Worker Talismans — he bought them?"

"Huh? Not a VIP?"

"Who is he? Which team?"

"Never seen him before."

"Me neither, he looks unfamiliar — is he from the White Tiger Regiment?"

"Damn, right, he must be from the White Tiger Regiment."

"Shit, I told you, the White Tiger Regiment coming here never means anything good. We already had most of our supplies taken by the regiment, and now a bunch of lords from the White Tiger Regiment are here to grab more!"

"Yeah! Like locusts."

"What right does he have to buy so much?"

"Right, doesn't the Exchange have any rules for White Tiger Regiment lords? On what grounds do they let them buy away our supplies?"

"Why does your Exchange favor outsiders? The lords of our Black Tortoise Regiment can't even buy supplies — they were all bought up by White Tiger Regiment people!"

"How is this Exchange even being run?"

The surrounding lords grew more and more agitated.

As if they had truly suffered enormous losses.

Li Cheng was the Exchange supervisor, so of course he didn't want the Exchange's order to be disrupted.

He immediately said to Zhao Chi: "Mr. Zhao, shall we go up to the third-floor VIP hall?"

Zhao Chi snorted: "No need, there's nothing to say. The transaction is already complete, all the Swift Worker Talismans are mine, the VIP has nothing to do with me. Stop morally blackmailing me. Goodbye!"

Saying that, Zhao Chi turned and walked away.

Li Cheng hurried to follow.

But quite a few Black Tortoise Regiment lords also crowded over, directly blocking Zhao Chi's path.

"Can't just let him walk away like this!"

"Right! He has to give us an explanation!"

"Cancel his order!"

"On what grounds should our Black Tortoise Regiment's supplies be bought away by White Tiger Regiment people?"

"Right! Don't let him escape!"

Now the crowd was utterly enraged.

The two female staff behind Li Cheng immediately began soothing the surrounding lords.

Li Cheng, meanwhile, said to Zhao Chi: "Mr. Zhao, it is true you completed the transaction first, but that VIP is the Black Tortoise Regiment's Chief Captain. We can't afford to offend him. I believe that as a… uh… low-ranking member of the White Tiger Regiment, you should also have concerns, right? You also wouldn't want to provoke the other party, right? I suggest it's better for you not to cause trouble."

The tone in which he said this was still very polite, his attitude still quite decent, but the content carried a fairly strong threat.

Zhao Chi nearly laughed in anger on hearing it:

"Provoke the other party?

"Cause trouble?

"How the hell did I provoke the other party?

"I've never even met him, don't even know who he is, and I've already provoked him?

"Stop talking nonsense!

"And stop using the captain to pressure me!

"What would I have concerns about a mere captain?

"Does he even have the right?

"So what if he's the Chief Captain? Isn't he still just a captain? If he were really impressive, he'd be the Commander, so why is he still a captain?

"A mere captain counts as trouble?

"What a joke!

"Besides, that's your captain, not mine!

"He's a VIP here, but to me he's a stranger — I don't need to consider anyone!

"Understood?"

Zhao Chi said this very loudly.

It startled Li Cheng into waving his hands repeatedly, waving them while glancing toward the staircase nearby.

From his appearance, he seemed very afraid Zhao Chi's words would carry upstairs.

The lords surrounding him were all utterly stunned.

Many people also looked toward the staircase nearby.

Some even gasped in astonishment.

"Holy shit, is he crazy? How dare he talk about Captain Meng like that?"

"He's from the White Tiger Regiment, he doesn't know Captain Meng."

"No way? Captain Meng's fame should be known even by people from the White Tiger Regiment, right?"

"He's probably a newbie!"

"Truly the boldness of ignorance."

"I really hope Captain Meng can hear this, come down and beat the crap out of him, make him spit out all his Speed-Talisman!"

"Hehe, I was thinking the same thing. If we weren't in this trading hall, I'd already be on him."

"Me too. Outside, I could beat him so bad even his own mother wouldn't recognize him."

"Exactly. This punk only dares to act tough here. Let him try it outside — he won't survive past tonight!"

The lords' words carried a strong threat.

Zhao Chi had expected this.

Back when he was weak, he'd back down when he had to — nothing else for it.

Now that he already had the strength, if he still kept his tail between his legs, wouldn't that make all that power-up for nothing?

If it comes to a fight, then fight!

He couldn't die anyway!

Zhao Chi already finished switching his attributes.

From the production-type Intelligence and Agility attributes, he switched to the combat-type Constitution and Strength attributes.

Actually, Agidity wasn't bad either, but given the current situation, all things considered, Strength was still better.

The enhancement points were also put into Block.

Zhao Chi rarely enhanced Block — he enhanced Health more often.

But Health only kicked in after equipment durability was worn out. For now, he'd first make his Block stronger, make sure he could block every enemy attack, and maximize the drain on equipment durability.

When the equipment was about to be broken, he could enhance Health again, letting those enhancement points do the most good.

Conversion complete!

The surrounding lords were still talking nonstop.

Zhao Chi let out a thunderous roar: "All of you shut the hell up!"

10 points of Strength applied to his throat made the voice enormous.

"Oh my god." Li Cheng felt his ears ringing.

"Eek!" Of the two female staff members beside him, one covered her ears, the other slapped her chest hard.
