Chapter 2518

"Sure, they're all clean, go ahead and use them."

"Okay!"

Shangguan Ting hurried ashore, grabbed a bath towel, threw it over her head, and quickly dried her long hair until half-dry.

Then she rapidly wiped the moisture off her body.

Immediately after, she sat on the warm white stone chair beside her and put on her fashion outfit.

Although the matter was urgent, Shangguan Ting couldn't possibly go out naked.

Even if she could switch into battle armor mode, without the super bonuses from this fashion outfit, her combat power would be significantly lacking.

Sharpening the knife doesn't delay the work of chopping wood.

Wearing these fashion outfits is very necessary.

Very quickly, two close-fitting fashion pieces were put on.

Shangguan Ting used both hands to gently stretch open the stockings rolled into soft loops, her toes nimbly kicking forward, while her hands loosened slightly, and a pair of thin black stockings was pulled onto one long leg.

Truly slipped on in seconds.

Zhao Chi picked up her blouse and stood beside her.

Shangguan Ting had already stepped into her high heels, steadied herself on Zhao Chi's shoulder to stand up, then looked at Zhao Chi holding the blouse and laughed: "Being this gentle to me now, I'm really not quite used to it."

"You'll get used to it from now on."

"Really? There'll be more in the future? Are you always this good to your woman? Or just today?"

"Of course I'm always this good."

"Hehe, that's great, but... it's also not so great."

"How is that not great?"

"It's great, but the better it is, the more afraid I get—afraid this is a brief beautiful dream, about to wake up soon, and all the happiness of now will vanish like smoke."

"Don't overthink it. When you need energy, you can tell me. Now you have your own energy too, so using it will feel more natural."

Shangguan Ting smiled charmingly: "Yes, my own energy... it really feels so comfortable, but it's still a bit too little. Wait until I'm fully recovered in two days, can you help me add some more?"

"Of course. As long as you have the time, I can add for you a whole day straight."

"Wow~ then I'll really die happy~ But with your word, even if there's no time I'll squeeze out the time. Then I won't say more, I'm leaving right now."

"Mm, take care of everything."

"Don't worry, I'm very strong. Bye-bye, you bye-bye too."

Shangguan Ting suddenly gave Zhao Chi a light pat, then vanished with a mischievous grin.

Zhao Chi shook his head.

Zhao Chi: "..."

Since Shangguan Ting had left, Zhao Chi immediately wiped the water droplets off his body, put on his clothes, and teleported to the Greater World.

Improving buildings, breaking down bloodlines, and many other things—wait until he comes back to handle them together.

Right now, first finish all the procurement matters in one go.

Finish one thing, then do another.

This way the efficiency is higher.

The central avenue of Shubei Town was still crowded.

Zhao Chi nimbly weaved through the stream of people.

With his now super-strong attributes, even on a road with so many people, carriages, and spirit-energy vehicles, he could still twist and turn, easily overtaking to the front.

Before long, he arrived at the Exchange.

This was his third time coming here.

Truly, every time he came, there was a fight.

Hopefully this time will go more smoothly?

The first floor was still the same—crowded and chaotic.

Zhao Chi squeezed through the crowd and went up to the second floor.

This time, the staff member checking identities on the second floor had been replaced.

But that person clearly knew who Zhao Chi was. Before Zhao Chi even reached him, the staff member was already beaming and pointing toward the third floor.

"Greetings, Lord Zhao Chi. Because of your last order of over 40,000 gold coins in one purchase, your level has been upgraded to VIP. You may go directly to the third floor."

There's even such a thing?

Zhao Chi was very surprised.

He's a member of the White Tiger Regiment, and he can also be a VIP?

Zhao Chi asked this question directly, straightforwardly, without any concealment.

The staff member laughed: "We're all lords of the World-Breaking Army, all one family. How could we exclude you just because you're from the White Tiger Regiment? Lord Zhao Chi, you're overthinking it."

That was well said.

Zhao Chi glanced at the second floor beside him, where there were several dozen lords.

The line wasn't long either—only 7-8 people at each transaction window. If he queued here, it would take only 10-15 minutes to reach Zhao Chi.

But there would definitely be even fewer people on the third floor.

He's already a VIP now, so let's go up and take a look!

He turned and continued walking up.

Soon he entered the third floor.

But there was no one checking identities on the third floor; Zhao Chi walked up completely unimpeded.

Before the staircase was a huge screen.

Going around the screen, behind it was a spacious corridor, with small rooms lining both sides.

From the look of it, these small rooms were all individual trading rooms, probably more than ten of them.

This was completely different from the second floor.

"Zhao Chi, my lord, you've come. Please, this way."

Several uniformed staff members stood by the wall. Looking closely, it was Li Cheng, the manager of this exchange.

Beside Li Cheng were one male and one female staff member, no longer the two female staff members from before.

Zhao Chi couldn't help but smile: "Manager Li, this is my first time on the third floor. Can I just go into any trading room?"

Li Cheng gave a slight nod:

"That's right. This should be your first time here, so you don't have a dedicated attendant yet.

"Right now quite a few rooms are empty. As long as the green spirit-energy lamp on the door is lit, you may go into any of them.

"If you find the attendant in a room to your liking, you may designate her as your dedicated attendant.

"After that, you can contact them anytime, and they can also send you the current inventory list at any time.

"Of course, you may also choose not to designate an attendant, and simply walk into any empty trading room each time you visit.

"That's roughly the situation.

"If anything is unclear, just ask me or any third-floor staff member anytime."
