Chapter 2651: Deal and Upgrade (18)

It really had only been a short while.

Yuan Ze replied right away.

Yuan Ze 【Zhao Chi, come on out. Head over to the quartermaster's office at our camp — just bring the money.】

They finished negotiating that quickly?

They had probably already agreed on everything long ago, just waiting for Zhao Chi to give the nod before splitting the money.

Whatever. Zhao Chi wasn't losing out anyway, and he'd save a hefty bounty in the process.

If they want the money, they have to take the risk.

They chose it themselves.

Zhao Chi 【I won't go myself. I'll send a subordinate over.】

Yuan Ze 【……Fine. Give me her information — after all, this kind of thing requires a little caution.】

Zhao Chi 【No need to be cautious. She gives the money, you hand over the goods. That's all there is to it.】

Yuan Ze 【Alright then… but I still need to know who she is, right? At least give me her identity details.】

Zhao Chi 【The beauty who knocked you out. You should remember her, shouldn't you?】

Yuan Ze 【Of… of course I remember.】

Zhao Chi 【Should we go now?】

Yuan Ze 【Sure… tell her not to act on her own. If anything comes up, keep us in the loop.】

Zhao Chi 【Relax. As long as you don't make a move, she definitely won't. But if I find out you dare to do anything against her…】

Yuan Ze 【I won't! Absolutely not! Send her over right now. Once the money's in hand, I guarantee she can take the goods back within fifteen minutes.】

Zhao Chi 【Good. Are you at the quartermaster's office?】

Yuan Ze 【Yes, I'm right here in the quartermaster's hall.】

Zhao Chi 【Wait there. I'll send her over right away.】

Zhao Chi immediately called Tang Ruan over.

Then he relayed all the information to her.

For something like this, Zhao Chi obviously couldn't go in person.

He had to send the toughest one — Tang Ruan.

Even if something really did go wrong, Tang Ruan could hold out until Qiyue summoned her back.

But that probably wouldn't happen.

It was mainly just a precaution.

Tang Ruan listened, then said excitedly, "Don't worry, my lord! Leave it to me!"

Zhao Chi laughed, "The more dangerous it is, the happier you get? Though the danger shouldn't be that great."

Tang Ruan grinned, "It's mainly because my lord entrusted me with an important task — and I get to go outside too. That's why I'm so happy."

Zhao Chi nodded, "You and Qiyue both have identities in the Greater World now. When you have time, you can go out and look around whenever you like — no need to ask me."

Tang Ruan said happily, "Great! Qiyue, shall we go out together when I get back?"

Qiyue shook her head, "I still need to stay and help my lord with crafting."

Zhao Chi said, "It's fine. I'll give you both two hours off — go take a stroll. If that's not enough time, don't worry about it; just stay out as long as you like before coming back."

Qiyue asked, "Really? My lord, aren't you worried about the schedule?"

Zhao Chi laughed, "A few hours won't make a difference. The craftsmen still have questions I need to answer, so I'll use the time to check in at the factory. Go on, Tang Ruan — when you're back, you two can go shopping together."

"Okay~"

Tang Ruan vanished in an instant.

In less than five minutes, Tang Ruan was back.

She ran up to Zhao Chi with a beaming smile, "My lord, no problem. This time I brought back goods worth 700,000."
