Chapter 764: Village Defense Battle (9)

Su Qin happily thanked him.

Zhao Chi shook his head: "No need to stand on ceremony. Out of the loot from the third battle, all the gold coins go to you, and every remaining item goes to me."

If following Zhao Chi's 28% share, he could take 74 gold coins.

But he wasn't short on gold coins right now.

He might as well use those 74 gold coins to trade for all the remaining items.

Sealing Locks and Chaos Marker Symbols — the more the better, certainly.

Plus those 2 silver treasure chests, several dozen functional symbols, and 2,790 elixirs — he wanted them all.

All those supplies added up were more useful than giving Zhao Chi 100 gold coins.

With this split, Su Qin was also very happy.

After all, an extra 100 gold coins could buy a sea of potions.

Sealing Locks and Chaos Marker Symbols were useless to her, and those functional symbols could only speed things up — if she wanted them, she could just go buy more.

Su Qin gladly agreed: "Of course, no problem!"

Zhao Chi looked at the loot from the fourth battle and fell silent for a moment.

There were 2,049 captives in total.

Quite a few were captives originally taken by Han Er and Gao Di, now seized by Zhao Chi and his side.

Following the 28% ratio, Zhao Chi could obtain 573.

But these captives were useless to him.

The two lords, on the other hand, were useful.

After all, lords had system spaces, and there might be good things inside.

This was basically opening a blind box.

Pure luck.

Those few heroes also had system spaces, but the supplies inside a hero's space were mostly inferior to a lord's.

Therefore, Zhao Chi was willing to take fewer captives in exchange for those two lords.

He said to Su Qin: "Among the human captives, I want those 10 women with 6 points in appearance. Among the elven captives, I want all 147 of those female elves; the male elves go to you. Apart from these, that 1 elven female hero, and those 2 human lords — I want them all. Everything else goes to you."

With this arrangement, Su Qin could obtain 410 more captives.

That was also worth dozens, even over a hundred, gold coins.

And Su Qin would also obtain 5 heroes.

After hearing this proposal, Su Qin also thought it over briefly.

But she quickly nodded: "I agree, but think it through — although Han Er and Gao Di are human lords, they may not necessarily have stored anything good. Perhaps their system spaces are completely empty, and you'd gain nothing."

Zhao Chi said: "I understand. Win or lose, I accept it — this was a gamble from the start."

Su Qin said cheerfully with a smile: "In that case, of course I'm willing. I've suffered quite a few losses recently; what I need is steady returns. Thank you — deal!"

Although Su Qin had always maintained a very polite attitude, and was also willing to yield profit to Zhao Chi.

Precisely because she was like this, Zhao Chi instead felt it was rare and proper, and wouldn't take extra advantage of her.

What was owed was what was owed — no more, no less.

Zhao Chi didn't need her to yield extra profit.

Moreover, distributing according to the system's contribution score was a rule everyone tacitly accepted.

Zhao Chi didn't want to break that rule.

There were many dimensions to contribution score.

The four most important were 【Attack Contribution】, 【Defense Contribution】, 【Support Contribution】, and 【Engagement Contribution】.

"Attack Contribution" refers to actually killing or wounding enemies.

Of course, the higher the better.

Generally speaking, attack contribution value is the key to deciding victory or defeat in battle.

Many people value attack contribution the most.

"Defense Contribution" includes cases like Tang Ruan's — directly withstanding enemy attacks head-on.

It likewise includes cases like Su Qin's — where one's own soldiers suffer heavy casualties.

After all, when soldiers die, it means the enemy's attacks landed on them; thus they withstood the attacks and contributed as well.

Su Qin lost over 1,000 soldiers in this battle — her defense contribution was not low.

"Support Contribution" — the most direct example is healing.

Gu Qing's healing technique, as well as her using blood to heal allies, both count as support contribution.

Zhao Chi's Rallying Art and Wind-Cloud Step can bring buffs to allies — those also count as support contribution.

Beyond these.

Scouting out enemy movements, reasonable tactics arrangement, timely reinforcements, providing potions and equipment, including supplying arrows, and so on — all count as support contribution.
