Chapter 2592

Zhao Chi: 【It'll be soon.】

Shangguan Ting: 【I'm going to find the regiment commander first. I'll contact you later. The commander might call for you, so be ready.】

Zhao Chi: 【Mm, go ahead.】

He didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse.

He might go see Yao Feng in a while, so now wasn't a good time to start crafting.

Otherwise, going to see her while dizzy and mentally exhausted would still be improper.

Checking the time, it was already close to noon, 12 o'clock.

He checked his sales orders.

【Sales Orders】

【Sold】:

"Wheat Grain" — 1.9 million tons

"Experience Fruit" — 65 million pieces

【Unsold】

"Experience Fruit" — 45 million pieces

The Experience Fruit still hadn't sold out.

It seemed they really couldn't be moved.

Even selling at the rock-bottom price of 10 silver coins, it was still too expensive.

At this price, it was far from enough for other lords to feed to their entire populace — not even their entire army.

After all, the effect of an Experience Fruit only lasted one day.

10 silver coins was 1,000 yuan.

A per-person, per-day cost of 1,000 yuan was still not cheap.

Just now in the exchange, Zhao Chi had also seen cheap Experience Fruit.

Basically, the prices were all between 13 and 35 silver coins.

He couldn't see the seller info, but they were definitely White Tiger Regiment lords reselling.

The cheapest was 13 silver coins — by all rights it should have been snapped up, but it hadn't sold out.

This meant the Shu North Town side was already saturated.

Now on the Shu North Town side, there were close to 2,800 White Tiger Regiment lords, and about 1,200 Shu North Main Force lords.

Overall, roughly 4,000 lords in total.

A total of 65 million Experience Fruit had been sold, averaging about 16,000 per lord.

Converted to gold coins, each lord had spent roughly 1,600 gold coins on average.

Of course, it couldn't really be calculated that way.

Small lords would only spend a dozen or so gold coins, at most a few dozen.

Big lords might spend tens of thousands.

But averaging it out like this could still roughly sketch the current situation at Shu North Town.

It seemed the lords here really couldn't eat any more.

But it didn't matter.

Keep it listed.

There would definitely be lords who sold them outside through merchants.

Zhao Chi wouldn't worry about it for now.

Once they opened up the sales channels, Zhao Chi could later use those channels directly.

It was equivalent to letting them blaze the trail for him.

Of course, he'd let them earn a cut too.

This was good for everyone.

A win-win.

Now the material transport on the Taoyuan Town side had finally come to an end; the lords had already hauled away everything they'd bought.

Zhao Chi could go collect the money.

He called Qi Yue, along with a few female soldiers, and gave Shen Jiyun advance notice.

Shen Jiyun: 【Alright, Zhao Chi, got it. I'll notify the subordinates — just bring your people over to collect it.】

Zhao Chi: 【Thanks, Commander.】

Shen Jiyun: 【No need for thanks, it's my duty.】

Not long after, Zhao Chi returned with Qi Yue and the female soldiers after collecting the money.

As usual, he piled the coins in that entertainment room and covered them with a blanket.

This time Zhao Chi had sold a total of 7.83 million gold coins' worth of supplies. After deducting the 6% tax — 470,000 gold coins — Zhao Chi had earned a total of 7.36 million gold coins.

Subtracting the offset payments, plus the many previous purchases, the bounty fees paid out, and the 1 million given to Shangguan Ting and Li Ruanyu, and adding his previous savings, Zhao Chi now had just over 3.99 million gold coins in total — close to 4 million.

An astronomical figure.

At this moment, Su Qin came back, brimming with excitement.

One look at her and he knew Lu Yi's group and Wei Li's group had both agreed to join her squad.

Before Zhao Chi could ask, Su Qin spilled everything in one breathless rush.

His guess was right — they had indeed both joined.

After all, Su Qin's combat power was growing far too fast now — she really was the carry.

Lu Yi is a direct subordinate group under Li Ruanyu, and Wei Li is a direct subordinate group under Shangguan Ting; neither of them has ever joined a squad.

And they also can't go on missions together with Li Ruanyu or Shangguan Ting, since the gap in strength is simply too great.

After hearing Su Qin's invitation, they were both very willing.

Lu Yi gladly joined.

But Wei Li had some reservations.

Because Wei Li is Shangguan Ting's person, and Su Qin is Li Ruanyu's person.

Normally teaming up with Su Qin and the others for missions is no problem, but when it comes to this kind of organizational change, Wei Li needs Shangguan Ting's approval first.

And the relationship between Shangguan Ting and Li Ruanyu made Wei Li feel this matter was impossible.

But Su Qin just giggled and said: "Captain Shangguan will agree — believe it or not?"

Wei Li said with a bitter smile: "How could that be possible? I do want to join your squad, but Captain Shangguan definitely won't agree."

Su Qin said with a smile: "Then shall I ask her?"

Wei Li stopped her: "Don't! Captain Shangguan definitely won't give you a pleasant look, and I'll still get scolded."

Su Qin wagged her finger: "What's there to be afraid of? Just you wait and see."

Saying so, Su Qin sent a message to Shangguan Ting.

A moment later, Wei Li received a notification from Shangguan Ting: 【You may join Su Qin's squad. Work hard, and also obey Su Qin's commands well.】

Wei Li was stunned.

"Sister Su Qin… what's going on here?"

Su Qin said with a smile: "Maybe Captain Shangguan knows we always move together and cooperate well with each other, so she agreed. After all, Captain Shangguan is still very broad-minded."

"Is… is that so?"

Wei Li was still doubtful.

But Shangguan Ting had indeed already agreed, so she could only explain it to herself using that reason.

Regardless, Lu Yi's and Wei Li's two groups are now Su Qin's subordinate squads.

Zhao Chi asked: "I remember there's still Zhou Lue's Strategy Group — didn't they join?"

Su Qin paused for a moment.

Then she said: "Zhou Lue has already died in battle."

"What!?"

Zhao Chi was truly very surprised.

"When did it happen?"

"It was during this evacuation battle — they didn't make it out and were killed."

Zhao Chi didn't know what to say.
