Chapter 72: Body Status

Zhao Chi was very surprised.

He hadn't expected Gu Qing to ask this kind of question.

Strictly speaking, Gu Qing's behavior had indeed overstepped a bit.

For instance, at the very beginning, Zhao Chi had told her to wait for him in the lord's house.

But Gu Qing had taken the women straight to the river to bathe.

Strictly speaking, that was defying orders.

During the battle, she hadn't stayed behind Zhao Chi either.

Instead, she had led the women in a swift charge and routed the goblins.

Although Zhao Chi had told them to fight freely, this still counted as Gu Qing taking the initiative to command the women to attack.

And then there was her disciplining the earth dogs and teaching the goblin prisoners a lesson.

That would make both the earth dogs and the goblins afraid of Gu Qing, and if she were to rebel, the earth dogs and goblins might listen to her and rebel together.

Although Gu Qing was beautiful.

All of this was standard knowledge from the textbooks.

Guarding against subordinates' betrayal was a required course for every lord.

The human heart is hard to fathom.

The hearts of the lord's subjects and subordinate heroes are equally hard to fathom.

However, Zhao Chi didn't mind.

Although Gu Qing had taken some matters into her own hands, everything she did exceeded Zhao Chi's expectations.

Every single thing Gu Qing did was better than Zhao Chi had imagined.

Constantly guarding against her or being wary might be safer, but it would also hurt feelings.

Gu Qing's performance was beyond reproach.

There was no need to make a big deal out of it.

Although she had indeed stolen Zhao Chi's spotlight.

But what is the spotlight?

Zhao Chi was willing to give Gu Qing the freedom to perform.

Likewise, the same went for Tang Ruan and the others.

"My lord, are you unhappy?"

Seeing that Zhao Chi hadn't spoken, Gu Qing couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Zhao Chi shook his head: "No, I was just thinking about some other things. Your performance today is 100 points, absolutely perfect. If you feel too tired, you can relax a little."

"100 points? Full marks?"

Gu Qing was very surprised, the corners of her mouth pressing down on an irrepressible upward curve.

"Of course, full marks."

"Thank you for your recognition."

Gu Qing threw her arms around him at once.

Zhao Chi felt himself pressed by a fullness of warm softness.

Unfortunately, it only lasted two seconds.

Gu Qing smiled: "My lord, I'll go clean up the fire pit."

Zhao Chi quickly called out to her: "Hold on a moment."

"Oh, alright, what are your orders?"

"Not orders. I saw that all of you have leveled up, but you haven't spent your enhancement points yet. I wanted to ask for your opinion."

Gu Qing said softly: "Of course these should be decided by you. No matter how bold I am, I wouldn't dare make decisions on your behalf about these things."

Zhao Chi said: "I want you to be my strategist for me, to give me some opinions for reference."

Hearing the word "strategist," Gu Qing felt a little happy.

It was a word that meant trust in her.

Gu Qing squinted and smiled:

"Hehe, strategist?

"Alright then, I do have some suggestions.

"If it's for me, I think enhancing spiritual power would be better.

"After all, my main job is still healing. With more spiritual power, I can use my healing skills a few more times.

"For Tang Ruan, you can choose between health or defense. My personal suggestion is defense.

"The others' stats are all the same, so enhancing anything works. It mainly depends on how you define their roles."

Her analysis was exactly what Zhao Chi had been thinking.

There are many default ways to allocate points.

Gu Qing enhancing spiritual power was correct.

Everyone has four basic stats.

Health, stamina, energy, and spiritual power.

"Health"

is life, is wellness; when lost, it hurts, one gets injured.

After being injured, all actions are affected.

It can be quickly restored through skills or medicine.

It can also slowly recover on its own through the body.

When life is spent, you die.

"Stamina"

Stamina is stamina...

Doing anything consumes it.

Eating, talking, walking, running, attacking, defending, dodging, aiming, using martial techniques, using spiritual techniques — all consume it.

Stamina depletes quickly, but replenishes quickly too.

Rest for a while, and it recovers.

It can also be restored through medicine.

It's a very important attribute.

"Energy"

It's energy.
