Chapter 2558

Zhao Chi and Qi Yue definitely couldn't go in; they could only wait outside.

Qi Yue curiously looked at everything around her.

The guards at the door all silently admired Qi Yue.

Qi Yue was dressed very properly.

But her fresh, exquisite face had nothing to do with her clothing—it would certainly draw attention, even from ordinary soldiers.

Of course Zhao Chi couldn't possibly block other people's eyes.

He couldn't block them all.

After the manager went in, he took things out in several batches and traded them to Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi's estimate was correct—based on the orders already delivered, he could indeed take over 1.5 million more.

But for easier calculation, Zhao Chi took a round number—exactly 1.5 million.

The rest he'd come back for tomorrow.

Qi Yue's and Zhao Chi's system spaces were almost stuffed full.

Though he couldn't feel the weight, Zhao Chi instinctively felt it was heavy.

After all, these 1.5 million gold coins, by weight, should be around 30 tons.

Quite heavy.

So… one gold coin weighs roughly 20 grams?

Purchasing power is roughly 10,000 yuan, so that's 500 yuan per gram?

About the same as gold prices in the original world.

But Zhao Chi had been in this world for over two years now—he didn't know if the original world had changed.

It didn't matter anymore.

After thanking the manager, Zhao Chi took Qi Yue and immediately returned to the territory.

Of course, so many gold coins weren't convenient to carry on one's person.

After thinking, he decided to store them all in Feng Yin Lou.

There were still two empty recreation rooms; he'd just pick one as the vault.

At first, the two of them wanted to arrange them on the wooden cabinet inside.

But before they could place many, the entire solid-wood cabinet started making creaking sounds—clearly unable to bear such heavy weight.

In the end, helplessly, they could only pile them against the wall.

With so many gold coins, there was no time to slowly stack them, and no need to either.

They could only toss them all on the floor like sand.

Of course, blankets and such were laid on the ground as protection.

It really was a floor of gold.

The room brightened quite a bit.

Finally, they covered everything with blankets.

It looked a bit shabby.

Anyone could just walk in and pick some up.

But probably no one would think a pile of gold coins was hidden underneath, right?

Don't look at how crudely it's stored—it's actually quite safe.

After all, this is Penglai Town.

Unless Zhao Chi lost a battle, no one else could possibly get here.

Up to now, everything had temporarily come to an end.

At least today could be considered done.

Today really was full of all kinds of trivial and miscellaneous tasks.

Relatively speaking, Zhao Chi still preferred simply spending a whole day making garments at the clothing factory.

But now it was fine—he could really go make them.

"Qi Yue, let's go make some…"

"Yes, my lord, let's begin!"

Qi Yue was full of energy, still brimming with vigor.

Watching her so lively, Zhao Chi was also somewhat encouraged.

Zhao Chi and Qi Yue worked continuously until 9 a. m. the next day.

Of course, in the wee hours, Zhao Chi still set aside four hours to accompany those women.

They needed it.

Zhao Chi needed it too.

Tang Ruan and Su Qin both still had work—Tang Ruan was in charge of transporting all supplies.

Including the million in spoils Zhao Chi had received this time, plus several million in rare materials purchased, and the tens of millions of wheat grains and experience fruits sold.

Tang Ruan was really going to be busy for a while.

Su Qin, meanwhile, was transporting and managing captives at Chaoge Town.

The new 80,000-plus female captives—Zhao Chi had bought them from various lords; it was very piecemeal.

And after bringing them back, they still needed to be settled in Chaoge Town—all of which Su Qin was handling.

Zhao Chi knew they worked hard.

So he wanted to properly reward and treat them in the wee hours, let them enjoy themselves thoroughly, and relieve a day's fatigue.

As a result, they had all become completely different people.

After a whole day of work, they didn't seem tired at all, bustling about and fighting each other to wait on Zhao Chi in return.

Even though they could barely stand steady, they still forced themselves to be gentle with Zhao Chi.

This kind of enthusiasm was truly incomparable.

At that level of eagerness, Zhao Chi really suspected they had also entered a newlywed-like state of mind.

Otherwise, where would they get this kind of energy?

Zhao Chi naturally felt wonderful, but he was baffled inside.

However, the moment the words left his mouth, he remembered — this entertainment room had now been improved, and these women's dedication had been directly multiplied by five!

Although Zhao Chi was not their client, and they were not related professionals.

But… as wives, there is also a "dedication" that belongs to wives.

This kind of wifely dedication had likewise been multiplied by five.

So, they all treated Zhao Chi with doubled warmth and focus, in the attitude of wives.

With far more affection and love than any professional.

No wonder…

And this time, after the improvement, their willpower had greatly diminished, so it really was easy to reach.

Zhao Chi truly felt completely relaxed, body and mind alike.

This improvement really seemed quite good…

But today Li Ruanyu had it rough.

Zhao Chi had originally meant well.

After all, Li Ruanyu had been too busy these past few days, so for the last two days he hadn't touched her, hadn't given her a proper chance to relax.

Today Li Ruanyu had arranged a time with Zhao Chi very early on — she must have been wanting it badly too.

So.

To let her relax in an explosive burst, and at the same time extend the duration of the enhancement skill, Zhao Chi took out a Fierce Woman's Lament pill and gave it to her.

Li Ruanyu could see this drug's attributes.

But just looking at the data, it was still hard to understand its power.

So Li Ruanyu swallowed it without hesitation.

Li Ruanyu was, after all, a mature woman.

The floor was soaked through, yet she still gritted her teeth and obeyed Zhao Chi, enduring until the moment the drug's effect peaked.

With just one strike from Zhao Chi, she nearly passed out on the spot.

Everything that should have collapsed, collapsed.
