Chapter 400

A patch of farmland yields, on average, about 5,000 experience fruits each harvest.

Because the experience fruit's skin is fine, dense, and thick, it can be stored for a very long time.

If left too long, the moisture will evaporate, and it will turn into a shriveled experience fruit.

Eating it at that point is like eating cotton.

But fortunately, the effect is still there.

"Gu Yan, distribute these experience fruits to everyone. 5,000 is enough for all of them, but be sure to collect the seeds."

"Understood, my lord. I understand."

Zhao Chi had been keeping an eye on the system.

Mainly the various system group chats.

He wanted to see if anyone had posted about tonight's Fragrant Food Street being sealed off.

Not a single one.

No news might be good news.

Tonight Zhao Chi had snapped up a few things.

The main item was still the Quick-Work Talisman.

Zhao Chi had now grown quite fond of this item.

With Tang Ruan around, the item was no longer scary or unpleasant; instead, the Quick-Work Talisman could be likened to a strong liquor.

Using 1–3 is a slight buzz.

Using 4–6 is lightly drunk.

Using 7–9 is half drunk.

Using 10–12 is getting tipsy.

Using 13–15 is thoroughly plastered.

The world spins, mood elated.

Intelligence isn't affected, but the mood carries one away.

Being too happy, too excited, one might act a little childish.

But it's no big deal.

【Item Purchase List】

【Quick-Work Talisman】 ×500

【Wind Cloud Steps】 ×1

【Technology Improvement Book】 ×5

【Shirt Material】 ×Large quantity

【Total Spent: 345 gold coins】

【Remaining: 179 gold coins】

At the time, the purchase had been too rushed.

So both the Quick-Work Talismans and the shirt material were bought a little on the pricey side.

But Zhao Chi didn't regret it.

Even if they were a bit expensive, if he hadn't bought them then and gone through the proper channels, they would only have cost more.

Including the ones bought before, the Quick-Work Talismans totaled 860 in all.

Enough to last him a while.

The Technology Improvement Books were also pricier than yesterday.

But the improvement points these books yielded really could raise the odds, so even at a higher price they were worth it.

He used all five improvement books straight away.

In a flash of light, one yielded 11 technology improvement points.

Not bad at all.

Finally, there was the Wind Cloud Steps.

It was a spiritual technique that suited Zhao Chi very well.

He clicked to use it.

【Congratulations, you have learned "Wind Cloud Steps"】

(Wind Cloud Steps: Beginner wind-element spiritual technique. Consumes 10 points of spiritual power, summons a gentle breeze to wrap the legs and feet, increasing movement speed by 10% and terrain adaptability by 5%, lasting 10 minutes.)

This spiritual technique was also a support type.

Zhao Chi's talented female mentor could boost it.

And it could be regarded as a permanent boost.

For an ordinary Taoyuan woman, it could raise movement speed by 20% and terrain adaptability by 10%.

And it was a continuous boost.

The effect was quite good.

The terrain adaptability was excellent.

Every kind of terrain has its own characteristics.

On flat stone-paved roads, or firm dirt roads, movement speed could be fully brought to bear.

But on muddy dirt roads, or snow-covered paths, or even directly on ice, movement speed would be greatly reduced.

And one could easily slip and fall.

If terrain adaptability were raised, this negative impact could be lessened.

All in all, this is a very practical spiritual technique.

Zhao Chi's spiritual power isn't exactly abundant right now, so he hasn't tried it for the moment.

After all, lately he's been inside Tang Ruan and Gu Qing's bodies every day, which consumes a great deal of spiritual power.

He'll try again next time.

Now he's detached from their bodies and moving about freely.

But to be honest.

When Zhao Chi controls his own body now, he feels constrained everywhere, a stifling sensation.

After all, having grown used to a body with an average stat of 7, returning to his own body with an average stat of 5 is indeed very hard to adjust to.

Going from frugality to luxury is easy; going from luxury to frugality is hard.

Time quickly reached 0:00.

A new day began.

The female soldiers assembled in front of the lord's residence.

Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, and Qi Yue were also here, standing ready.

Zhao Chi stared at the system.

Waiting for a while to snatch some good magical beasts.

3 minutes left.

1 minute left.

Time's up!

What's going on?

System glitch?

Why are both the quota and distribution 0?

This quota bulletin board displays the extra quota. If the data isn't wrong, then…

Could the extra quota have ended?

Why?

Zhao Chi didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.

As far as he himself is concerned, he should be disappointed.
