Chapter 3081

You won...

Zhao Chi now had to take the initiative to contact Song Ji.

Zhao Chi 【Minister Song, what is the deal with these tokens in the second list?】

Song Ji did not answer immediately.

Zhao Chi did not press further.

But he felt a bit anxious inside.

Two minutes later, Song Ji replied.

Song Ji 【The tokens are our way of expressing gratitude; please be sure to accept them.】

Damn it!

Can I trust this?

And "please be sure to accept"...

Zhao Chi 【No, no, no, Minister Song, please speak directly. I lack experience and rarely pick up on subtext. I want to know what you need.】

Song Ji 【Haha, Mr. Zhao, you are overthinking. We do not need anything, nor do we require any action from you. We truly are grateful.】

Zhao Chi 【Because of Yin Shopkeeper Wanyan?】

Song Ji 【Haha, yes, Shopkeeper Wanyan is one reason. Additionally, we thank you for providing ideas for fashion techniques.】

Still talking nonsense!

Being grateful for saving Yin Shopkeeper Wanyan is fine; it makes sense.

But saving Yin Shopkeeper Wanyan is worth at most one token.

Being grateful for providing fashion technology is even less relevant; last time Song Ji exchanged three bloodline tokens and two attribute jades for it, completing an equivalent trade. There is no need to repeat the gratitude this time.

Could it be... they really used my methods and techniques to create new fashion or new technology?

Zhao Chi quickly voiced his doubt.

Song Ji 【Haha, how is that possible? Our craftsmen only expanded their thinking, but it will take a long time before practical application is possible. We are not gods.】

Zhao Chi 【So, why so many tokens? Minister Song, can you just give me a straight reason?】

Song Ji 【There is no reason. We simply feel Mr. Zhao has boundless potential and want to give a meeting gift, looking forward to future cooperation with you.】

Zhao Chi 【A meeting gift? Whose meeting gift gives so many tokens?】

Song Ji 【Mr. Zhao, you really do not need to overthink. We are merchants and always place great emphasis on reputation. If we had conditions or requirements, we would state them in advance; it is impossible to add them later. This batch of tokens truly has no attached conditions; Mr. Zhao may use them however he sees fit.】

Zhao Chi 【If you do not explain clearly, I will not accept them.】

Song Ji 【Mr. Zhao, you need not rush to refuse; consider it more... Sorry, a wolf patrol is approaching; I must leave now. If you have matters, you can leave me a message, and I will reply when I reach the nearby area next time.】

Zhao Chi immediately pressed for more.

But Song Ji never replied again.

What is going on...?

Zhao Chi looked at the four hundred tokens and simply dared not click confirm.

Relying on intuition, Zhao Chi instinctively felt something was up.

It was absolutely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

No, he did not even need to rely on intuition; it was obvious. Even thinking with his butt, he could figure out there must be other circumstances.

But Song Ji would not state a reason, only insisting on giving them.

Damn it...

Zhao Chi could not help but curse.

But should he click reject directly?

Zhao Chi really could not bear to.

It was right before the war.

If he accepted these tokens, Zhao Chi could distribute them to many key lords.

For example, to Ying Zhi and Jiang Chen and the others.

And to other friendly legion commanders or friendly regiment commanders.

They were to block two wolf regiments at the spatial rift; with the help of these tokens, the battle would definitely go more smoothly, greatly increasing the success rate.

The smoother the war, the smaller their losses, the more spoils they gained, and the stronger their power grew.

This was rolling a snowball.

By the time the final battle within the city came, they would have even more confidence!

Moreover, the wolves had nobles behind them.

Even if war with the nobles broke out immediately after defeating the wolves, with the help of so many tokens, it would be more secure.

The tokens did not need to be given to ordinary lords; only to top-tier lords.

Just give them to Yao Feng, Ying Zhi, Jiang Chen, and other regiment commanders and deputy commanders.

As long as they had the strength to solve the enemy's top-tier lords, the remaining mid- and lower-level lords were just a matter of time.

These four hundred beast tokens would absolutely play a key role.

But could he accept these supplies?

Song Ji spoke nicely, saying there were no conditions or requirements, but how could that be?

Once Zhao Chi used them, what would happen afterward was impossible to predict.

Zhao Chi now regretted sharing the technology.

If he had not shared it back then...

Then Zhao Chi would not have had so many resources to promote Gu Qing and Tang Ruan to the Royal Clan.

Fuyao could not possibly have consumed so much of the Great Cycle, nor could it possibly have entered its mature phase right now.

In that case, the Eternal Clan could not possibly exist right now either.

Those new genes could not possibly be obtained.

None of these things will exist anymore.

Indeed, these are not even the reasons Zhao Chi wanted to share the technology.

It was mainly because the win rate was not high at that time.

After the werewolf reinforcement troops arrived, the World-Breaker Army coalition was in danger.

Although Yao Feng and the others were all actively thinking of countermeasures and striving to maneuver against the enemy, they could no longer increase the win rate.

Zhao Chi, for his own sake at the time, had no choice but to provide the monthly-use costume technology.

And now?

The nobles exchanged vast quantities of supplies for high-quality costumes, and the World-Breaker Army obtained a massive amount of noble supplies.

Yao Feng's side had 210,000 craftsmen working non-stop, producing tens of millions of monthly-use costumes daily; the strength of the entire World-Breaker Army coalition increased rapidly, especially the White Tiger Regiment.

The current win rate has improved significantly.

There is nothing to regret.

But these supplies cannot be accepted for the time being.

This time, Zhao Chi must ask Yao Feng.

To consult her opinion.

Zhao Chi immediately edited a message, explained the entire matter clearly, and then sent it over.

Yao Feng replied instantly.

Yao Feng: "What!? 400 Beast Tokens? The Abandon-the-World Alliance gave them to you?"

Zhao Chi: "Yes, Minister Song Ji of the Ruby Chamber gave them to me, in the name of the Ruby Chamber's gratitude."

Yao Feng: "How could the Ruby Chamber have these supplies for you? Song Ji is a person of the Abandon-the-World Alliance; did he say there were no additional conditions?"

Zhao Chi: "Yes, there were none."

Yao Feng: "He only asked for your technology sharing for one day?"

Zhao Chi: "Yes, yesterday."

Yao Feng: "Strange... send me the list to see."

Zhao Chi: "Okay."

The list was sent.

Yao Feng replied after a while.

Yao Feng: "Accept them."
