Chapter 280

Very easy to tell apart.

The higher the equivalent tier of a magical beast, the stronger it naturally is, and it will use higher-level spiritual techniques, with more special traits and bonuses.

There are even mutations or improvements.

The magical beasts for this semester's entrance test were all Tier 0 in the first several Jiguans.

Except for the Emperor Shi Laimu in the 9th Jiguan, which is king-tier.

Of course, it's also a low-tier king-tier.

Of course, the 10th Jiguan must also have a king-tier magical beast, but unfortunately no one ever saw what it actually was.

Up to Zhao Chi, all the magical beasts had been assigned.

Zhao Qizong sighed:

"Everyone has been assigned their own tasks, but everyone has difficult moments.

"I hope that if you have any spare capacity, you'll try to help out your other brothers and sisters.

"Of course, if anyone can't hold on, or runs into danger, post it in the system group, and we'll do our best to rescue and support you.

"But as elders, our tasks are heavier than all of yours; we're afraid we won't be able to spare a hand when the time comes.

"So everyone try not to make mistakes; you must act with caution.

"Our objective is to destroy all enemies, by any means necessary.

"Don't have the slightest bit of sympathy, even if the other side is human.

"Is that understood?"

The crowd replied: "Understood."

Zhao Qizong sighed and said: "Alright, we still have a meeting to hold. You all go on ahead, prepare as soon as possible, make the most of the time."

All the peers left.

Zhao Chi noticed the elders who remained still wore troubled expressions.

There might have been some thorny matters they hadn't mentioned.

Zhao Chi didn't have the spare capacity to concern himself with these either.

Today was the 9th day after the territory was established.

Ten people would come each day, plus the 10 people from using the Refugee Tokens before, plus Zhao Chi and Gu Qing, 2 people.

The total number of people in the territory was already 102, breaking a hundred.

One week later, the number would be 172.

By then, they'd have to face the invasion of 200 magical beasts per day.

Zhao Chi felt it was manageable.

Mainly because he had those powerful women, he didn't think it would be too difficult, but for ordinary people, it was no small burden.

After all, this wasn't play; it was combat, fighting for one's life.

Fortunately, these magical beasts didn't arrive all at once, but in batches, which somewhat reduced the difficulty.

Moreover, they were all Tier 0 magical beasts, relatively controllable.

The higher the tier, the more likely magical beasts were to mutate or evolve.

That would make them hard to deal with.

Not only because the enemy's tier was high, but mainly because you didn't know what abilities it had mutated, which was very tricky.

For now, Zhao Chi only needed to fight the most basic magical beasts.

His footsteps were hurried.

After coming out with the peers, everyone exchanged brief greetings and then dispersed.

Zhao Chi didn't immediately return to the territory.

Instead, he went to the village's small supermarket to purchase daily supplies.

The ones he'd bought before were nearly used up.

Now that the territory's population was growing, consumption was greater too.

Especially those women all had long hair — though flowing long hair looked beautiful, the consumption of shampoo was truly high.

On top of that, they all went to bathe every day, and the body wash and soap were almost used up too.

Besides that, Gu Qing wanted Zhao Chi to buy some small miscellaneous items like hair ties and combs.

None of them were expensive, and Zhao Chi agreed.

There was only 1 supermarket in the village, run by someone from the Xiao family, and the goods were sold rather expensively.

They also didn't allow anyone else to open a supermarket in the village, effectively monopolizing it.

Zhao Chi normally didn't buy things here, but now wasn't the time to quibble over small change.

He spent close to 1 gold coin, purchasing an extremely large quantity of daily supplies.

Including all kinds of toiletries, hygiene products, and so on.

As well as seasonings and various daily necessities.

The supermarket owner happily took the initiative to help Zhao Chi transport everything home with a cart.

Although he was from the Xiao family, he was also a businessman, and when there was money to be made, the service was naturally attentive.

Zhao Chi locked the door and teleported.

Back in the territory, Zhao Chi set down the large and small packages he was carrying on the ground.

The supplies in the system space were all taken out as well.

Gu Qing hurried over to greet him: "My lord, why did you bring so much this time?"

"They're all daily supplies. The ones I bought last time weren't enough. The things you wanted, I bought those too. See if anything's still missing, and I can go buy more."

Gu Qing looked left and right: "My lord, you bought quite a complete set, nothing more to buy."

After saying that, he called a few people to move it to the lord's residence.

Tang Ruan had just seen Zhao Chi return.

Then she immediately ran over: "My lord, how was the magical beast situation this time?"

Gu Qing also turned her head to look.

Zhao Chi said: "Not bad, we need to deal with 200 Rank-0 magical beasts every day."

Tang Ruan asked: "Rank-0? The ones we fought yesterday?"

"That's right."

Gu Qing laughed: "So it was only that level of strength? I was worried for quite a while."

Zhao Chi said: "We ourselves have 200 Rank-0, but the others still have to take on quite a few high-rank ones. If we have the spare capacity, I will take the initiative to divert more at that time."

For Gu Qing and them, dealing with 200 Rank-0 should be no problem.

Under safe conditions, fighting more means harvesting more.

Whether experience, loot, or even captives.

Moreover, if the family falls, it won't do Zhao Chi any good either.

Gu Qing said softly: "Understood, we will follow all of your instructions."

Zhao Chi noticed Gu Qing's cheeks were white with a rosy flush.

Her whole person radiated a unique charm.

Tang Ruan beside her was the same.

Both were smiling at him, seemingly in very good moods.

Zhao Chi was infected too, and asked with a smile: "What's with you two? You seem very happy?"

Gu Qing laughed: "My lord, have you forgotten? The Carefree Spring can boost mood, everyone is very happy right now."

"Everyone?"

Zhao Chi hadn't seen any other women since coming back.

Tang Ruan pointed at the surrounding buildings: "Everyone is working."

It was already 6 PM now.

Zhao Chi said: "Gu Qing, did you arrange for them to work overtime?"

Gu Qing shook her head: "No, I only told everyone that we'll be fighting again soon, but we all know equipment and such are very lacking, so everyone voluntarily went to work. This wasn't an order I gave."

These women's excitement from being reborn hadn't faded, and the bath further increased their mood by another 50%.

They simply couldn't sit idle right now; even if you didn't let them work, they'd feel uncomfortable.

This was fine too.
