Chapter 932

"Ice-Water Hot Spring" and "Sauna Hot Spring"—one cold, one hot—can counter extreme heat and extreme cold respectively.

In summer, go to the Ice-Water Hot Spring to escape the heat.

You can also drop a watermelon in to soak for a while, then fish it out and eat it—absolutely perfect.

In winter, you can go to the Sauna Hot Spring.

Steam billowing, sweating head to toe—it's an absolute pleasure.

If it happens to snow, it'll simply be a fairyland on earth.

Decided—these three it is!

As for the quantity…

Ice-Water Hot Spring and Sauna Hot Spring each get 2; Large Hot Spring gets 6.

The Large Hot Spring won't be needed that much for now, so one can be assigned to the Feathered Cows.

After all, the hot spring's effects work on animals too.

When those Feathered Cows are happy, they might put on weight faster and produce more milk.

Giving them various buffs can also let the male Feathered Cows rest less and work more.

Besides, the Naga warriors and Harpy women can go in too.

Let them enjoy the fruits of "technology" as well.

Those 200 Flower Fairies—I'm not sure if they can go, since they're so small and have those big wings.

It wouldn't be good if they drowned.

I can ask them later.

Transfer data!

〖Current data match is high; transfer success rate is 55%. Confirm? 〗

Consume 5 Tech Points. Confirm.

【Your expansion is as follows】:

【3. Large Hot Spring】×6

【4. Ice-Water Hot Spring】×2

【5. Sauna Hot Spring】×2

【Confirm?】

Confirm again.

【The current location is blocked by other buildings; expansion is not possible. Please choose a new location.】

Right now, the Carefree Spring sits at the very center of Penglai Village.

There's a ring of other buildings around it.

Expanding so many hot springs out—naturally, there's no room.

The area around Penglai Village is now a flat, open plain.

The trees were all chopped down earlier by Qiyue and Lin Mei's logging team.

Zhao Chi chose the southern spot.

The south gets plenty of sun.

Soaking in the hot spring while basking in the sun—that'll definitely be delightful.

【The current construction is on a large scale; 38 Quick-Build Talismans are required. Confirm?】

Damn it!

38 Quick-Build Talismans?

That's way too many, isn't it?

Looks like even though the data was transferred, to rapidly build the hot springs, each one still requires its own Quick-Build Talismans.

Zhao Chi didn't have that many—only 7 left in hand.

That's far from enough.

After the battle ends, I'll go buy some.

It should be over soon.

Zhao Chi teleported back to Taoyuan Village.

Transport was still underway; Gu Qing had the orc prisoners join the hauling crews as well.

Including those orc soldiers.

Although it's risky, seeing their expressions, Zhao Chi knew they wouldn't dare resist.

Don't be fooled by those orcs' broad-shouldered, burly frames—far more robust than those women, a completely different class of build.

But right now, they were all dumbstruck.

They stared blankly as the female villagers hauled big packs, pulled heavy carts, and shuttled back and forth transporting goods.

They were all doubting their own eyes.

A few orcs tried it too—two of them got crushed flat under the weight.

Two more rolled down the hill and were rescued back by Gu Qing.

After all, the Taoyuan humans' hauling ability had been greatly enhanced—how could these orcs possibly compare?

Having witnessed this, the orcs became utterly obedient, all hauling honestly, with not a single one harboring any thought of resistance.

About an hour later.

Huang Bian's territory had also been fully looted.

Strictly speaking, the buildings here were all wooden structures—tearing them down and bringing them back would also serve as firewood.

Zhao Chi considered it for a moment, then gave up.

Ordinary timber isn't worth much, firewood is even cheaper.

If it were just for burning firewood, forget it.

Now isn't like the old days of being broke — now he has both money and ability, no need to scrimp like that.

No point wasting the time, then.

Everyone returned to Peach Blossom Village, and Zhao Chi activated Huang Bian's territory.

【The current territory lord is already dead. Please choose how to handle it.】

【1. Occupy】

【2. Vassalize】

【3. Destroy】

Huang Bian was of the Heavenly King Army — Zhao Chi could occupy, or vassalize.

Either way would be perfectly aboveboard.

But he neither occupied nor vassalized, and still chose to destroy.

After all, there was no need.

Huang Bian's territory was all barren mountains, with some minerals, but the air quality was terrible.

Once occupied, the two territories would connect, directly dragging down Peach Blossom Village's living environment.

Vassalizing was even more unnecessary.

He chose destroy.

After all, destroying might yield a race bloodline, as well as a World Stone.

Though the probabilities were both low, it was still worth a try.

【Target territory already destroyed】

【You have obtained items】:

【Territory Configuration Points ×10】

【Technology Improvement Points ×6】

【Race Improvement Points ×7】

No luck!

No matter — it was already enough.

The instant Huang Bian's territory was destroyed, the fog wall closed in.

Peach Blossom Village sealed itself off once more.

Up to this very moment, Zhao Chi's battle this time could truly be considered completely over.
