Chapter 924

Take everything.

Next, Zhao Chi continued wandering aimlessly around the entire territory.

The Hero's room was even poorer than Xiao Ning's side—there was nothing in it at all.

Not to mention the Hero's, even Huang Bian's lord's dwelling was the same.

There were only some implements for women; nothing else could be found.

He certainly played in quite a variety of ways—every kind of implement imaginable, and even Gu Qing couldn't recognize them all.

She figured she'd learned something new again.

Apart from this junk, there was nothing else worth taking.

Zhao Chi turned the place upside down, but still came away empty-handed.

However, in the storeroom, he did find some useful items.

【You have obtained item: River of Forgetfulness Water ×2】

River of Forgetfulness Water can reset enhancement points; he'd seen this item before.

He hadn't expected to obtain two bottles from Huang Bian.

He'd take them along for now and could consider giving them to Tang Ruan later.

But it wasn't certain.

There were also some medicines and common items—all taken as well.

There was nothing left of note.

Zhao Chi stood atop the mountain and looked down.

The view was excellent; he could see nearly every spot in the territory.

In the distance was a white wall of fog; below was bare, brown earth.

Beside a few small hills there were also some mines.

That was about it; there really wasn't much to see.

But during wartime, especially when defending from this mountaintop, it was indeed a great advantage.

At least in terms of visibility, any enemy deployment could be seen at a glance.

But in terms of daily life, it really wasn't as convenient as flat ground.

Transporting all kinds of supplies up here would surely be quite a chore.

But carrying them out was downhill, so the speed was relatively fast and easy.

It was just also very easy to overturn the cart.

But there was nothing valuable anyway, so if it overturned, it overturned—no matter.

As Zhao Chi was looking, he received another voice message from Su Qin.

Su Qin 【Zhao Chi, do you have a Spring of Rejuvenation?】

Spring of Rejuvenation?

The name sounded very familiar.

Zhao Chi suddenly remembered—the Carefree Spring was the Spring of Rejuvenation.

It was just that because the effects were too strong, the system had given it a new name.

Just like the regular "Super Improved Stockings"—once Zhao Chi made them, they became "Ultra-Thin Ultra-Silky Stockings"—same principle.

He wondered why Su Qin was asking about this?

Could it be that she wanted to come soak in the hot spring?

Zhao Chi didn't mind her coming to the territory, nor did he mind her soaking in the hot spring.

But the Carefree Spring was currently at Penglai Village; Zhao Chi couldn't possibly take her there.

Better ask her first what she meant.

Zhao Chi 【Yeah, I do have one. How did you know?】

Su Qin 【Hehe, I asked Zhao Jiao before, and she said you traded credits for the Spring of Rejuvenation blueprint and improvement manual. That doesn't count as your secret, right? I was asking around about you—you don't mind, do you?】

Zhao Chi 【I don't mind, it's not a secret either; lots of people know. Why are you asking? Are you coming to soak in my hot spring?】

Su Qin 【Huh? Really? I-is that okay? Does this count as an invitation?】

Her voice actually caught her a little off guard.

It seemed this wasn't her original intention.

But from the sound of it, she seemed willing to come.

But he really couldn't let her come; had he known, he wouldn't have asked like that.

Zhao Chi 【Uh… no, why are you asking?】

Su Qin 【Oh, then forget it. I was just on a call with a classmate from Nanlin Village, asking about the situation over there. I'll skip the details—she said someone in their village group was selling a "Spring of Rejuvenation Super Improvement Manual," and I immediately thought of you, so I hurried over to ask if you needed it】

A Spring of Rejuvenation Super Improvement Manual?!

The moment he heard that name, Zhao Chi knew he had to have it.

Zhao Chi quickly replied 【Yes, I want it. How much? I'll buy it!】

Su Qin 【Hehe, I knew you'd need it. I haven't asked the price yet—I'll go ask right now】

Zhao Chi 【Okay, no matter the price, I want it. Help me reserve it】

Su Qin 【How could I do that? I'll help you haggle!】

Zhao Chi 【It's fine, I can accept it being a bit expensive】

Su Qin 【Don't be so jittery. Although this Super Improvement Manual isn't common, it's not that precious either—nobody's going to fight you over it. Enough said, I'll hurry and go ask for you】

Zhao Chi had wanted to give her one more reminder, but hearing her say that, he quickly shut his mouth, not wanting to waste her time.

A few minutes passed, and Su Qin still hadn't replied.

Zhao Chi was getting anxious, afraid someone else would buy it first.

Another few minutes passed, and Su Qin finally replied.

But her voice sounded a little embarrassed.

Zhao Chi couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

Could it be bad news?

Su Qin:

【Zhao Chi, I double-checked. The other party has two blueprints: "Spring of Rejuvenation Super Improvement Tome" and "Spring of Rejuvenation Expansion Tome"】

【But the other party won't sell them separately — they have to be sold together, and they're very expensive. A total of 300 gold coins, and no bargaining either...】

【Sorry I didn't ask clearly just now and got your hopes up for nothing】

【Because I was also afraid someone else would buy them first, so I contacted you immediately after hearing about them】

【I didn't expect it to be like this】

【Sorry about that...】

Hm?

There's also an Expansion Tome?

Isn't this a double blessing?

What is Su Qin feeling guilty about?

She probably thinks it's too expensive and Zhao Chi can't afford it.

After all, it's a full 300 gold coins.

But this price really isn't cheap.

The Spring of Rejuvenation is a building, and its bonuses are pretty good. Building-related blueprints are indeed much more expensive than fashion blueprints.

After all, after learning a fashion blueprint, you still need to spend a lot of cost to craft it.

Especially super-improved fashion — it requires a highly skilled craftsman to make.

Once made, it wears down every day.

It's the kind of thing that requires constant investment.

And ordinary fashion bonuses are pretty standard — after all, without Zhao Chi's data conversion, the stats can't be too explosive.

So fashion blueprints aren't that expensive.

But building blueprints are different.

Once a building is constructed, it stays effective forever.

You could say it's a once-and-for-all kind of thing.
