Chapter 2611

When Zhao Chi arrived, the giant tree had been reduced to little more than a massive stump, yet even so it had not died — a testament to its terrifying vitality.

And now this one was the further-evolved Eternal Tree; its vitality would only be stronger, its root system only vaster.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chi felt a measure of comfort in his heart.

As long as his own effort hadn't been wasted, that was enough.

Whether what grew was the trunk or the roots, as long as it kept growing, that was fine.

So in truth, this Eternal Tree was far larger than what could currently be seen.

That's good then.

Hopefully it would start playing its role soon.

Don't be like that Angel Bloodline, dawdling along and growing endlessly — who knows when it'll ever end.

Zhao Chi turned to the Silkworm-tribe female soldiers and said, "Alright, thank you for your hard work. You may go rest now."

The twenty Silkworm-tribe female soldiers saluted and quickly departed.

Zhao Chi turned again to the female soldiers and farmers on duty and said, "You can come over now. Same work plan as before — thank you for your effort."

"Understood, my lord."

The nearby female soldiers and female farmers returned to their work positions once more.

Zhao Chi said with a hint of weariness, "Let's go, Qiyue. I'll rest for a bit first, then we'll begin the crafting."

"Yes, my lord. Please come in, I'll take you to rest."

"Alright…"

Light flared, and Zhao Chi and Qiyue merged into one.

A little over an hour later, the two began crafting the outfit, continuing until the next day.

In the small hours of the morning.

At present, only Tang Ruan and Qiyue remained by Zhao Chi's side.

The pre-dawn combat training could only be fought against those two.

Don't be fooled by how exceptionally fierce and vicious Qiyue was when fighting the werewolf — once she was on Zhao Chi's side, she became incomparably fragile, as if she simply couldn't take much.

Zhao Chi hadn't even used his full strength, yet her eyes went blank and she nearly passed out.

Terrifying berserk energy surged wildly around her body.

Sustained energy also condensed rapidly.

Qiyue's breathing even stopped — only air going in, none coming out.

Only after a long while did she let out a heavy sigh of relief.

It seemed she had already reached her limit and could no longer continue training; she could only rest first.

Zhao Chi could only go one-on-one with Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan was truly overjoyed, and utterly thrilled.

Her gaze was resolute.

Her smile was full.

Every pre-dawn was the time she looked forward to most, and also the moment of her heaviest training load of the day.

Honestly, given Tang Ruan's ability, it was genuinely hard for her to reach such a state of exhaustion.

Only at this time could it happen.

Zhao Chi also knew she was at her strongest, so there was no need to hold anything back — just go all out and strike directly.

The two truly were evenly matched.

Although, under the effects of the ultra-improved elixir, Tang Ruan's energy came wave after wave without ever stopping.

But he hadn't expected she could actually tank it head-on!

She can tank even this?

Zhao Chi stared at her in astonishment.

That's savage!

Tang Ruan was the only one who, while gathering energy, could tank it head-on and continue trading offense and defense with Zhao Chi.

But at this moment Tang Ruan was clearly far stronger than usual.

Both her offensive and defensive capabilities had increased significantly.

Zhao Chi was also genuinely struggling to hold on.

But Tang Ruan was, after all, still a woman.

She could force herself to endure for a while, but she couldn't hold out indefinitely.

In the end, she broke too.

At this moment she was somewhat like Li Ruanyu from yesterday.

But Tang Ruan and Li Ruanyu's situations weren't entirely the same.

Li Ruanyu's wailing might have been genuine.

Tang Ruan, however, was the complete opposite.

Although her whole body was drained, her legs trembling violently, sweat pouring without cease — she was, after all, Tang Ruan.

She was, after all, Zhao Chi's first Vanguard Commander heroine.

She was the first shield.

And so she recovered once more.

Again she came bouncing over with a sweet, coquettish smile to meet his attack.

In the end.

Over 30 long-term energy points came in.

This yield is truly extremely high.

8 a. m.

4 production cycles finished.

This time a total of 9,500 pieces of quality fashion were produced.

Still quite a gap from the target quantity — keep pushing today.

Just as he was about to start production again, Zhao Chi received a system notification.

The White Tiger Regiment posted a notice.

【Notice: The White Tiger Regiment's temporary military supply station has been completed. It is located west of the temporary trading post in Cloud County. The rules and requirements remain unchanged. All lords may go there to exchange supplies.】

Zhao Chi didn't get the notice last night — only now.

He figured the sortie had delayed things.

The new location is also in Cloud County.

The coordinates and position match, which saves trouble.

Zhao Chi teleported over immediately.

There weren't many lords around — only a little over 10 in total. Eight of them were at the temporary trading post next door, leaving only 4 lords at the temporary military supply station.

There are 5 exchange points — very generous.

Zhao Chi quickly walked to an unoccupied exchange point and began redeeming.

The exchange clerk was also a subordinate of Ren Yunchuan, and was very polite upon seeing Zhao Chi.

"Greetings, my lord. Please show your identity information first."

Zhao Chi presented it.

"Greetings, Lord Zhao Chi. What supplies would you like to exchange for?"

Zhao Chi said, "Give me a moment — I'll decide right away."

The exchange clerk glanced at the side; there were very few lords, so he didn't urge Zhao Chi, but nodded and said, "Understood, Lord Zhao Chi."

Many of the lords had gone out on sorties, and the ones staying behind hadn't come over right away either — there really weren't many people right now.

Zhao Chi carefully browsed the list of exchangeable supplies, looking first at the bloodline list.

But it was completely empty — nothing there at all.

Is the White Tiger Regiment out of bloodlines too?

Zhao Chi asked, puzzled, "Not a single bloodline?"

The exchange clerk nodded: "That's right. All the supplies available for exchange are listed there. If you don't see it, then there isn't any."

At that moment, the exchange supervisor patrolling nearby said, "Before the withdrawal battle, bloodlines, experience pills, Gao Jie medicines, and other supplies had all been used up or distributed. There aren't many types of stock left now."
