Chapter 92: Class Change: Soldier

Gu Qing had been busy in the kitchen the whole time.

Zhao Chi had nearly finished his meal by the time she came out with a beaming smile.

A bamboo cup was in her hands.

"My lord, it's a bit hot. You should eat it while it's warm."

Zhao Chi took it over.

The bamboo cup held a prepared snake soup. He didn't know what ingredients she had put in, but it looked fairly presentable.

"These are all the essence parts. Don't leave a single drop."

Zhao Chi's face showed reluctance.

But Gu Qing could be trusted.

She had spent the whole morning hunting, and at noon she had still taken the trouble and time to make this snake soup.

All Zhao Chi had to do was eat it.

What was there to hesitate about?

Eat!

Zhao Chi downed it like eating noodles — half drinking, half chewing, enduring the heat, tilting his head back to swallow.

【Minor scald, HP -1】

Zhao Chi: "..."

Seeing the pain on his face, Gu Qing hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Does it taste bad?"

"No... the taste... huh, it's actually not bad, it's just a bit hot."

"I told you it was a bit hot. Who told you to drink it all in one gulp? Is it good? Do you feel anything?"

Zhao Chi shook his head.

Apart from a slight sting in his throat, he felt nothing else.

No special status appeared in the system either.

But the taste really was passable.

No odd flavor.

Apart from the psychological discomfort, it could be considered fairly tasty.

Gu Qing nodded. "Mm, that's fine, take it slow. Food takes time to show effects."

"Show effects? What effects exactly?"

Gu Qing laughed softly. "You know perfectly well. Didn't I already tell you? To nourish and invigorate your yang."

Zhao Chi said, "Is my body really that weak?"

Gu Qing shook her head. "Not at all. You're at the prime of vigorous blood and qi right now, very strong. But you can't only think about now and not the future. Let me try to help you extend it a bit — we're going to live a very long time, after all~"

Zhao Chi was left speechless.

She was even thinking about future matters.

Zhao Chi nodded and held out the bamboo cup. "Any more? Another cup."

Gu Qing smiled. "Hehe, there's not much of the essence part left, but there's still a small half-cup. I'll serve it all for you, just a moment~"

Soon, Gu Qing came trotting over.

This time Zhao Chi ate it seriously, sip by sip.

"Thank you, Gu Qing, for still thinking about my future. Although the direction is a bit one-sided, it's still very thoughtful."

Gu Qing said gently, "Right now our territory only has these animals. In the future, if magical beasts appear, the effects might be much better. My lord, could you help me find some books? On medicine and pharmacology — recipe books would work too."

"No problem. I'll bring some back for you next time."

Lunch was over.

Zhao Chi told the women to rest.

But not a single person was willing to rest.

They all said the territory had just been established and they should work a while longer.

Then they all went off to be busy.

Zhao Chi could only stop Tang Ruan and the other eight female villagers.

"You don't need to chop trees anymore. I'm building a barracks right now to let you change class."

Tang Ruan said excitedly, "We can build a barracks now? Is there enough space in those empty plots?"

Zhao Chi nodded. "Mm, just right."

After saying that, he activated the Quick-Build Talisman.

Once again, a large number of building images appeared before his eyes.

He selected the barracks and placed it on the newly opened land.

【The current building is relatively large. 2 Quick-Build Talismans are required. Please select the quantity.】

Choosing to consume 1 would also work.

However, the barracks would only be considered half-finished and would need manpower to continue building.

But right now it needed to be built to completion directly.

He selected 【2】.

Two Quick-Build Talismans rose into the air.

Fusing with the materials beside the Lord's Manor.

The surrounding earth was also reduced somewhat.

Earth is often overlooked, but it is also a commonly used and important building material.

Light flared, gathering in the sky.

The next moment, a rain of light descended.

The barracks rose rapidly from bottom to top.

【Barracks Construction Complete】

A building of considerable size appeared before his eyes.

The main structure of the barracks stood in the center.

It was a small two-story building.

Outside the building was a small training ground, over thirty meters in both length and width.

Normally, one could train here.

Zhao Chi tapped to view the barracks' specific attributes.

【Building】 Barracks

【Scale】 Small

【Quarters】 10 rooms

【Beds】 100

【Ground】 1,000 square meters

The small building in the barracks had two floors in total, with five quarters on each floor, upper and lower.

Each quarter could accommodate ten soldiers, for a total of one hundred.
