Chapter 68

Zhao Chi's current Territory World is 10 square kilometers, which works out to 10,000,000 square meters.

The 100 square meters added is too small to be noticeable at all.

Although this entire Territory World is theoretically Zhao Chi's territory.

His actual area of control is currently only around the Lord's House.

Once it develops later on, he'll be able to actually control the entire Territory World.

While he was looking, the rustling sound of footsteps came.

He looked up and saw eleven slender, fair-skinned figures.

Gu Qing and the others had returned.

They walked along chatting and laughing, seemingly in good spirits.

There wasn't much supplies left, and most of it was being carried by those goblins.

"My lord, everything's been moved."

Gu Qing directed the goblins to set down the last batch of stone materials.

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "Good work, rest up. These are supplies I bought. Gu Qing, I'll leave the management to you."

Gu Qing curiously leaned over.

"Huh? My lord, why did you buy so many supplies? Why is there such a big bucket of body wash? And shampoo too — that'll last a long time."

Tang Ruan and the other women also crowded over.

They all looked on happily.

Zhao Chi said: "We've run out of rope. This 50-meter rope can be used next battle to tie up prisoners. And these seasonings — didn't you want to practice cooking, Gu Qing? They're all yours."

Gu Qing nodded: "Okay."

It's already past 6 PM now.

Tang Ruan and the others' little bellies had already gone flat.

Returning to smooth, flat abdomens.

Although they all ate quite a bit at noon, most of it was burned off by the "Newborn" state.

After fighting and hauling supplies, they were all hungry again.

Zhao Chi said: "Everyone rest a bit, we'll eat soon. Tonight we're having this roasted venison."

The women were all very happy.

Tang Ruan had already started licking her lips.

Of course having meat to eat was good.

Especially roasted — it had a special charred fragrance.

As long as the roasting method was right, it didn't need a complicated cooking process to taste great.

Earlier when making porridge, Gu Qing had already led people to fill all the water vats in the kitchen.

Tang Ruan fetched some water and washed the venison clean.

The other women carried over some thick firewood and set up a bonfire pile in front of the Lord's House.

The kitchen was usable.

But for barbecuing, outside was more suitable.

The venison was cut into small pieces by the women and skewered on split bamboo sticks.

Then stuck around the bonfire pile, slowly roasting.

Gu Qing sprinkled salt evenly.

The venison would still take a while to cook through.

Zhao Chi pulled out a Quick-Build Talisman.

It would be dark soon, and there wasn't much working time left today — he definitely wouldn't be able to construct a building.

So he'd just use the Quick-Build Talisman to build it directly.

After all, once you get an item, it's meant to be used — hoarding it only prevents it from realizing its value.

The earlier you use it, the sooner you get returns.

There are plenty of ways to obtain more later on.

There happened to be an empty plot next to the Lord's House, a suitable spot for construction.

He tapped to use the Quick-Build Talisman.

The thin talisman paper glowed and drifted up from Zhao Chi's hand.

The next moment, the system issued a prompt:

【Please select a building】

In his field of vision, graphics of multiple buildings appeared.

Zhao Chi instinctively tapped around.

But he couldn't activate Plunder-and-Substitute.

He'd already developed the habit of wanting to tap on any piece of information he saw, but nothing activated again.

There were many buildings in view.

But the most important ones were still the Barracks, the Blacksmith's Shop, the Carpenter's Shop, and the Tailor's Shop.

Some other buildings were also quite important, but these production buildings had the highest priority.

Zhao Chi chose the Barracks first.

In his field of vision, a large patch of red shadow appeared.

【There are obstructions in the current area, please reselect the construction location】

Zhao Chi used his consciousness to adjust the position.

He discovered that if there were trees, buildings, or large stones buried underground with half exposed, they all counted as obstructions, and he couldn't build directly on them.

After careful adjustment, the red phantom in his field of vision turned green.

【Current location can be built on. Confirm?】

Zhao Chi chose No.

Because this barracks occupied too much ground area.

If he built the barracks, there would be no room left for other buildings.

Anyway, there were no longer any strong enemies in the territory, so the barracks could wait a bit and be built tomorrow.

Tomorrow he'd chop down the surrounding trees, dig out the large stones, and clear out some open ground.

He'd build the other structures first.
