Chapter 3036: Nobles and Merchants (1)

Zhao Chi closed his eyes.

He carefully felt the bloodline energy within his body.

So far, Zhao Chi had absorbed a total of 38 points of complete bloodline energy from them.

Of that, 36 points had been absorbed earlier, and 2 points were absorbed in the early hours of today.

These 2 points were what he needed to try out.

Of those, 1 point was split 50/50 between Qi Yue and Tang Ruan, and 1 point was split 50/50 between Gu Qing and Zhuang Ya.

Gu Qing was of the royal bloodline, so her energy would be held back for now.

Zhao Chi activated the new bloodline energy from Tang Ruan and Qi Yue.

Although activating it now was a bit of a waste, this kind of experiment was necessary.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.

Knowing the state of his various skills was something he had to do.

Activate!

In an instant, Zhao Chi felt warm all over.

It felt as if he had burrowed inside them.

It wasn't a burning heat, but a very comfortable sensation.

【Congratulations, you have activated the "Eternal Human Race" bloodline energy, and have gained all "Eternal Human Race" gene abilities for 30 minutes】

So that's how it is.

After seeing the detailed bonus data, Zhao Chi understood instantly.

The previous bloodline enhancement could let Zhao Chi obtain all the genetic effects of the Taoyuan Race, but not the exclusive effects of the Eternal Race.

Such as "Tree Affinity" and "Agility."

So the current bloodline energy was indeed a bit stronger, but the improvement was limited.

It could be called getting stronger, but really it was more like an update.

However, that was only because the Eternal Race didn't have many extra genes yet, so the improvement looked limited.

Once the total number of Eternal Race genes accumulated later, there would be a lot more.

Not bad, I suppose…

Every bit stronger counts.

Now that Gu Qing and the others had all become Eternal Race, every bloodline energy Zhao Chi absorbed in the future would also be Eternal bloodline energy.

Those 36 points of Taoyuan bloodline energy were somewhat outdated, but they would have to be kept for now.

After all, war was the kind of thing that simply couldn't rely entirely on intelligence.

Based on intelligence, the推测 was that battle would erupt in just over a week.

But in reality, a full-scale war could break out the very next moment.

So Zhao Chi had to hold them in reserve, to unleash them in battle.

Let's save up a bit more.

The test was done; Zhao Chi should go back to sleep.

But he felt his whole body brimming with strength now, and simply couldn't fall asleep.

Although this time was meant to test the effect of the new bloodline energy, and he had known going in it would be wasted, Zhao Chi was covered in Eternal Race genes — was he really going to waste it for nothing?

Shouldn't he do something?

What should he do?

"Mm~ mm…"

Qi Yue smelled the fragrance on Zhao Chi's body in her sleep, and her little nose gave a gentle sniff.

Alright then, he'd do her!

Yao Feng also needed Qi Yue's energy, so this was a good chance to add a bit more.

One of Qi Yue's beautiful legs was resting right on Zhao Chi's stomach, at just the right angle.

When they rested together with Zhao Chi, they didn't wear any clothes.

So…

"Mm… eh, oh~ my lord, you—? Oh, don't go that deep right off the bat…"

30 minutes later, the enhancement effect wore off.

Qi Yue's rest had been for nothing.

But she had gained several dozen points of short-term energy, which could be used by Yao Feng for her daily adaptation.

Qi Yue, exhausted once more, drifted off into a dazed sleep.

Zhao Chi wasn't sleepy at all.

Up and at it — time to work!

He called Zhuang Ya to the armory and began forging.

He kept cranking out elven bows, and made some butterfly blades on the side.

The second day at noon in Penglai Town.

That same evening in the Greater World.

Zhao Chi controlled Zhuang Ya, whose fair arms hammered the red-hot metal ingot with force.

Sparks flew nonstop.

Just as he was getting into the swing of it, a system notification came in.

Zhao Chi had originally planned to ignore it, and reply all at once after the crafting process was finished.

But when he saw the name of the sender, his brow furrowed involuntarily.

Zhao Tan.

It was a message from Zhao Tan.

Zhao Tan 【Zhao Chi, do you have time to talk?】

Zhao Chi couldn't help but stop what he was doing.

After the last meeting, Zhao Tan had also sent a message.

But at the time Zhao Chi hadn't replied at all, acting as if he hadn't seen it.

Zhao Tan hadn't sent another one either.

After all, Zhao Chi's not replying was itself a reply, directly showing his attitude.

He hadn't expected her to message again.

Zhao Chi actually really didn't want to have anything more to do with this group of nobles.

He was doing very well in the White Tiger Corps.

Zhao Tan looking for him was nothing more than wanting to inquire about those technical matters—no need to think to know.

But Zhao Chi could never possibly tell them the source of the technology.

Apart from this, Zhao Chi also didn't plan to license any technology to the nobles.

After all, the nobles were destined enemies.

After dealing with the werewolves, there would inevitably be a battle with the nobles—sooner or later.

And the nobles were still the ones with the advantage.

The nobles were still stronger than the World-Breaking Army and all the resistance forces.

He definitely couldn't license technology to them.

Zhao Chi still planned to ignore it.

But this time Zhao Tan seemed to have made up her mind—she had to talk to Zhao Chi.

Messages came one after another.

Zhao Chi couldn't help but take a look.
