Chapter 312

Zhao Chi: 【Of course I'm not being sincere, I'm just going along with her, saying some pleasantries, and it can also lower the risk of you being discovered. But I never said you're not as good as her either.】

Gu Qing: 【Oh, then what do you think of my looks and figure?】

Zhao Chi: 【Both are great.】

Gu Qing: 【Compared to that woman who came to save you that day?】

Zhao Chi: 【Save me?】

Gu Qing: 【Mm, the woman who appeared when you were inside Shi Laimu's body, surname Li.】

Zhao Chi: 【Oh, that's my instructor, her name is Li Ruanyu.】

Gu Qing: 【How do I compare to her?】

Zhao Chi: 【How could she possibly compare to you? The two of you aren't even on the same level.】

Gu Qing was happy.

She giggled inside her heart.

Gu Qing: 【Hehe, my lord you don't have to put it like that. I think she's quite excellent too, her looks and figure are pretty good. Mainly, her strength is too strong. I wish I could become that strong someday, then I could really protect you.】

Zhao Chi: 【Don't rush. Our territory has only been established for less than two weeks. As long as we can advance steadily and accumulate progress bit by bit, you'll definitely be stronger than anyone.】

Gu Qing: 【Heeheehee, it's not that exaggerated, hahahaha.】

Zhao Chi could feel that Gu Qing's mood had also become very good.

It seemed Gu Qing was about the same as Tang Ruan.

Both belonged to the category of women who were quite easy to coax.

A little compliment could make them this happy.

Gu Qing: 【We have you in our hearts, my lord, that's why we're easy to coax. Please compliment us more often when you have nothing to do, my lord.】

Zhao Chi felt a little awkward.

Some shallow thoughts simply couldn't be hidden, and Gu Qing could hear them.

Zhao Chi: 【Mm, I understand.】

They soon arrived at the trading post.

This time Zhao Chi also had a very clear goal.

The first was to buy more Swift-Work Talismans. He had consumed 12 before, leaving only 16.

This thing was very uncomfortable to use, but it could indeed speed things up.

It really required willpower.

Then he also needed to buy some medicines that increased stamina and energy.

Although all medicines had a 10% resistance, they could still be taken several times.

With medicines, the number of times he needed to sleep could be greatly reduced.

Efficiency could leap up once again.

Of course, the accumulated uncomfortable state would also become more uncomfortable...

It was best to buy that kind of self-selected medicines treasure chest.

With choices, Graft-Blossom-Attach-Jade could be activated.

Now with 34 gold coins, there was more room to choose.

Spending over 2 hours, Zhao Chi finished browsing 5 trading posts.

But there were still quite a few trading posts he hadn't visited.

He now finally understood why women loved shopping. If it were all this kind of stuff, Zhao Chi would love it too.

But time couldn't be wasted too long; prices basically fluctuated within the same range.

Finally, past 3 a. m., everything that needed to be bought was bought.

Zhao Chi immediately returned to the Great World.

Zhao Chi: 【Gu Qing, you take control of the body, I'm going to activate and use the items.】

Gu Qing: 【Okay~】

The moment she took over the body, she ran about wildly like she was let off the leash.

Zhao Chi then opened the system space.

This time the gold coins were spent down to nothing again.

But he had also bought satisfying props.

【Shopping List】

【Swift-Work Talisman】 ×20

【Thrust Combat Manual】 ×1

【Chain-Dance Combat Manual】 ×1

【Self-Selected Medicines Treasure Chest】 ×2

【Stockings-Related Materials】 ×several

【Total spent: 34.2 gold coins】

This expense not only spent everything earned today, but also threw in 20 silver coins from what little remained before.

Now he only had 362 copper coins left on him.

But these were all good things.

Swift-Work Talismans had to be bought first.

Although they weren't cheap, and were uncomfortable.

But... who let them improve work efficiency.

Must-buy.

The Thrust combat manual, and the Chain Dance combat manual, are both basic skill items.

Like the silk stocking blueprint, once used, every soldier in the territory can learn it.

It's just that proficiency is very low at the start.

Learn directly.

【Congratulations, your territory already has mastered the combat techniques "Blade-type Combat Art – Chain Dance" and "Spear-type Combat Art – Thrust"】

(Chain Dance: Beginner blade-type combat art. After use, can quickly attack the enemy 3 times, costs 10 Energy. Every 1 point of Proficiency increases attack speed and attack by 1%)

(Thrust: Beginner spear-type combat art. After use, the next attack and penetration increase by 100%, costs 10 Energy. Every 1 point of Proficiency increases attack and penetration by 1%)

This way, Tang Ruan and Qi Yue and the others will all have combat arts for killing enemies.

Single-handed weapons like swords and blades have the fastest attack speed, and Chain Dance can attack 3 times even faster.

It can be roughly seen as 3x attack.

This can deal massive damage in a short time.

However, this kind of combat art consumes Energy.

Using it once or twice is fine.

If used many times in a row, too much Energy is consumed, and one will be utterly exhausted, unable to keep one's eyes open, and very sleepy.

Besides Energy, using combat arts also consumes Stamina.

It consumes more Stamina than normal attacks.

So on the battlefield, how to balance combat arts and normal attacks is really a subject of study.

A spear's penetration is very strong.

Ordinary leather armor or poor-quality iron armor cannot block a spear's attack. Although it can defend against part of the damage, the body will still be injured.

Although the Thrust combat art can only deal 1x extra attack, it also adds 1x penetration.

It can deal damage to enemies with thicker armor.

For example, Iron Armor Turtles, Scale Armor Nagas.

Although combat arts have drawbacks, when the control is in your own hands, overall the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

In a while, have those female soldiers practice it.

Zhao Chi then took out the 【Self-Selected Medicine Chest】

He had bought 1 from his fourth clan brother Zhao Hong before, and the effect was not bad.

It's a pity those trading posts only had these 2, otherwise Zhao Chi would buy as many as he could.

Click to open.

The same 24 kinds of medicines appeared before his eyes.
