Chapter 326

From the look of it, quite a few of them were here for the first time.

Standing in place, looking left and right.

Exactly the same as when Zhao Chi came for the first time.

And quite a few more were still arriving.

But most of them were masked, while a small portion — whether from inexperience or simply not thinking — showed up here with their faces uncovered.

Gu Qing: 【My lord, when we came in, we didn't see this many people around the septic tank.】

Zhao Chi: 【Mm, so our earlier guess was probably right — the entrance to this Fragrant Food Street has multiple openings, all connecting here.】

Zhao Chi gave them a quick glance, then headed straight for the street district.

Today's street district was absolutely packed.

More people than any of the previous times he'd come.

The stalls along both sides of the road were set up shoulder to shoulder.

Every shop was full of customers too.

Gu Qing: 【My lord, what day is it today?】

Zhao Chi: 【Sunday, a public rest day.】

Gu Qing: 【Does coming to the black market have something to do with holidays?】

Zhao Chi: 【Not too sure. Logically it shouldn't — it's not like the markets outside. Forget them, let's exchange our money and buy what we need as fast as possible, then get out of here.】

Gu Qing: 【Mm, alright.】

The two of them arrived at the women's clothing shop "Wanyan Huashang."

On the second floor, they found the female shopkeeper, Wanyan.

Seeing Gu Qing was like seeing a dear relative — her face was all smiles, and Zhao Chi felt her joy was genuine.

"Oh, Ms. Zhao, you're here awfully early today. Come, let's go into my office."

Wanyan said as she led Zhao Chi into the office beside them.

Brew tea, pour water.

Everything was ready-made.

Wanyan brought over a cup of tea and poured one for herself as well.

But Zhao Chi still didn't drink.

Wanyan laughed: "The money's all ready. How many pairs are you selling today?"

Zhao Chi said: "A bit more today — 126 pairs in total to sell."

Pfft~

Wanyan sprayed half a mouthful of water.

She nearly sprayed it onto Gu Qing's body.

"Sorry, you said how… how many? 126 pairs?"

"Correct."

"…126 pairs?"

Wanyan still couldn't believe it.

Zhao Chi didn't bother explaining — she directly initiated a system trade.

She selected all 126 pairs of stockings and put them up.

Only now did Wanyan finally believe it.

She shook her head and sighed: "Oh my god, lucky I just collected a payment today — otherwise the money in my hands definitely wouldn't have been enough."

"Can you buy all 126 pairs?"

"Of course, I'll take them all."

Wanyan quickly selected gold coins — a full 252 gleaming Jin Cancan gold coins placed into the trade window.

Both sides confirmed.

Trade successful.

Both were very happy.

On Zhao Chi's side, the funds were quickly recovered, so she could immediately purchase new items.

Wanyan, on the other hand, had gained 126 pairs of stat-heavy fashion — whether she sold or gave them away, she'd still come out ahead.

Zhao Chi stood up: "I probably won't be coming over for the next few days. Don't wait for me — I'll come again when I have time."

Wanyan nodded: "I understand. Several of my other clients are about to face the diversion from the increased magical beast quotas. Then I wish you all the best."

Coming out of the fashion shop.

Zhao Chi still headed straight for the trading house.

Today he wasn't in such a rush and browsed around a bit longer.

Weapon shops, armor shops — he went to look at them all.

The gear in these shops was all decent, but of course the stronger it was, the more expensive.

There were also various blueprints for sale, but these blueprints were of a high grade, and the blacksmiths in Zhao Chi's territory didn't yet have the ability for them.

Forcing the crafting would have too low a success rate.

Even if they barely succeeded, the quality could only be inferior.

Let those blacksmiths grow step by step first.

For now, Zhao Chi didn't need to buy equipment either.

In combat, Zhao Chi would definitely be piloting those women's bodies to fight.

Mainly, this way the hero's attributes can stack — not only strengthening himself, but also strengthening the soldiers.

There are a lot of people today.

Which means the exchange's item listings and transaction volume are both very high.

Some items get bought the moment they're listed.

But Zhao Chi still managed to buy what he wanted.

【Speed-Work Talisman】 ×200

【Random Seed Chest】 ×2

【Fire Oil Blueprint】 ×1

【Fire Oil Improvement Manual】 ×3

【Silk Stocking Materials】 ×Large quantity

【Fire Oil Materials】 ×Large quantity

【Assorted Dyes】 ×Moderate quantity

【Previous various medicines — category change & tax reduction】 ×Some service fees

【Total spent: 188 gold coins】

64 gold coins remaining.

For Zhao Chi, the remaining 64 gold coins is still a huge sum.

The Speed-Work Talismans were bought in the largest quantity this time.

Although the side effects are too uncomfortable, it's undeniable that the effect is very strong.

If Tang Ruan, with her masochistic constitution, were to use it, she'd probably like it.

But Zhao Chi can only endure the pain and persevere…

Tang Ruan?

Holy shit?

Can I pilot Tang Ruan and then use this?

My and Tang Ruan's sensations should be synced, right? If her masochistic constitution kicks in, I should be able to get the buff too?

Can it work like that?

I'll go back and try it.
