Chapter 2600

Li Ruanyu pushed aside Zhao Chi's quilt and sat on the edge of the bed.

Then she said, "There's no way around it. The spy on the werewolf side brought news that the enemy may launch a night raid and full-scale assault tonight. The werewolves have no retreat left either; they're all going all out. If the werewolves really attack tonight, although their losses will be enormous, they will most likely capture Xiyuan County. That is unacceptable to us. We must prepare to depart right now."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Understood. You said you needed something from me? What is it?"

Li Ruanyu said, "Here is the agreement; just sign your name. And here is the treasure chest, also for you. This is the reward given by the regiment commander. But in truth, all of this belongs to you."

Immediately after, she told Zhao Chi what had just happened.

More than an hour ago.

The commendation ceremony had just ended.

Li Ruanyu immediately went to Yao Feng's room.

After the two exchanged brief pleasantries.

Yao Feng said, "Xiaoyu, what opportunity have you encountered recently? Those pieces of equipment and costumes, plus yesterday's wheat grains and experience fruits, are truly extraordinary. Are those things entirely under your control?"

Li Ruanyu fell silent for a second.

Those all belonged to Zhao Chi.

Li Ruanyu certainly could not control them completely.

But Li Ruanyu knew Zhao Chi well; as long as her request was reasonable, given the relationship between her and Zhao Chi, Zhao Chi would listen.

So she still nodded.

Yao Feng said:

"In that case, it is a tremendous good thing.

"I hope that the equipment and costumes you craft again in the future will still be sold to the regiment first; you set the price.

"And those grains and experience fruits, especially the grains, if they can also be sold to the regiment first, that would be best.

"You need not set the price so low; we won't let you suffer a loss."

Li Ruanyu nodded: "Understood."

Yao Feng added:

"Before the evacuation battle, the regiment calculated the several million costumes and equipment you produced.

"Even after deducting all the materials and items the regiment assigned to you, they still fell far short of what you turned in.

"Therefore, after discussion, we have decided to grant you five million contribution points. Later, you can exchange for any supplies you need at the quartermaster's office at any time."

Five million is no small amount.

Contribution points are not gold coins; they can buy quite a few items specially supplied by the Break-World Army.

Li Ruanyu immediately said, "Thank you, sister."

Yao Feng shook her head and said, "What is there to thank me for? This is what you deserve. But even so, it is actually not enough. The problem is that the regiment has just gone through heavy consumption and does not have many supplies. So this 'Gao Jie Self-Select Ore Vein Treasure Chest' is also for you; it should generate a certain income at regular intervals, which can be considered compensation for you."

Li Ruanyu had intended to refuse.

But on second thought, all of this was what Zhao Chi deserved.

She could indeed refuse right now.

But she wanted Zhao Chi to obtain this treasure chest even more.

So, after gratefully accepting, she took it.

Yao Feng said, "Regarding the reward given to you by General Yan Ling, you will have to wait a bit longer before it arrives; we will notify you to come and collect it later."

Li Ruanyu nodded: "Thank you, sister. I understand."

Yao Feng smiled: "Official business is finished; now let's talk about personal matters. What has been going on with you these days? Are you in a relationship?"

After that, Yao Feng began to interrogate Li Ruanyu about her and Zhao Chi.

"That is roughly the situation."

Li Ruanyu summarized.

Immediately after, she sent over the agreement.

System prompt:

【Li Ruanyu has sent an agreement: "Delegation of Contribution Points Purchase Authorization"】

The content inside allowed Zhao Chi to spend Li Ruanyu's contribution points to purchase supplies at the quartermaster's office.

In name, Zhao Chi was running errands for Li Ruanyu.

But in reality, Zhao Chi was buying for himself.

This way, Zhao Chi could use those five million contribution points, and he could also use Li Ruanyu's own contribution points.

Zhao Chi instinctively wanted to be polite.

But he did not say it.

He really had become too accustomed to being polite...

There was no need to be polite with Li Ruanyu.

No need for formalities either.

There was nothing to be shy about with a wife.

Every night he was pounding the other person to the brink of death, and now he was being polite?

No need.

Zhao Chi signed and completed it directly.

Li Ruanyu said, "Perhaps the temporary quartermaster's office will be set up tonight; at that time, you can go buy some necessary items. This treasure chest is also for you."

Li Ruanyu handed over a golden treasure chest.

System prompt:

【You have obtained item: Gao Jie Self-Select Ore Vein Treasure Chest ×1】

This is a good thing.

A Gao Jie vein.

And you get to pick it yourself?

Isn't this my exclusive treasure chest?

Yao Feng was right—now that we have this chest, we can steadily generate a certain amount of income.

After all, veins regenerate slowly.

And this is a Gao Jie vein.

A vein of dark iron and adamantine steel.

This is exactly what Zhao Chi has long desired.

Yao Feng really is quite good.

The clothing and equipment Zhao Chi turned in were indeed extremely valuable, but the other side gave what they owed.

Five million contribution points can be exchanged for a large amount of supplies.

Added to this, the vein truly counts as a continuous income source—Zhao Chi was very satisfied.

Besides this, General Yan Ling has also awarded something, but we don't know what yet.

But it won't be anything ordinary.

But General Yan Ling isn't here, so we still need to wait a bit.

Zhao Chi was looking forward to it.

Li Ruanyu said: "Zhao Chi, there's still over an hour until departure, everything else is arranged—I… I have nothing to do for now."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Then use this time to sleep quickly, restore your strength—an hour is enough to recover a lot."

Li Ruanyu said: "Sleep? ~ I just slept, don't you remember I can go two days straight without sleep?"

"Oh, right, right, right."

Li Ruanyu stared at Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi stared back at Li Ruanyu.

Li Ruanyu smiled: "Why aren't you speaking?"

Zhao Chi said: "I don't know what to do—how about I teach you again how to make clothing? You still can't reliably produce high-quality clothing, right?"

Li Ruanyu replied blankly: "You want me to make clothing now?"

Zhao Chi scratched his head: "Then what else should we do?"

Li Ruanyu pouted: "You idiot, what else could we do? Battle's coming soon, your energy is still far short—won't you help me replenish it?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "Oh! Right, right, right! Come on, let's add a few more points now—but this time I'll be careful, I won't make you cry again."

Li Ruanyu smiled: "Mm, I believe you—but don't you still need to give me something to eat? Give it to me now, since we still need to wait a bit before full potency kicks in."
