Chapter 937

The war ended, and trading became frequent.

Everyone had captured a lot of supplies and prisoners, most of which they couldn't use themselves, so they all had to exchange with one another to meet their respective needs.

Although they couldn't sell at very high prices right now, they could likewise buy all kinds of supplies at relatively low prices.

The internal trading model within the Zhao family was to hand everything over to the clan uniformly, and then, according to each person's needs, take away the corresponding supplies or prisoners.

Refund the excess, make up the shortfall.

This approach had both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage was that all the supplies could be offloaded directly, without having to sit on them.

But the disadvantage was that the prices would be a bit lower.

But most lords supported it.

After all, useless supplies sitting in hand were just junk.

Swapping them for useful supplies as quickly as possible was the proper course.

Zhao Chi first sent over the 200 prisoners Su Qin wanted, and received 200 gold coins.

He had originally wanted to leave immediately, but Su Qin very warmly insisted he stay for lunch.

Zhao Chi still refused.

"Are you that busy?" Su Qin was a little disappointed: "Then at least drink this honey tea, it's very good."

Zhao Chi stared at the teacup and hesitated for a moment.

If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't eat any food from outside, especially water.

But in the end he still took the cup and drank it down in one go.

Warm honey tea.

Sweet and fragrant fruit tea — the taste really was quite good.

"It's pretty good, then I'll be going now. See you next time."

"Alright, next time you come I'll make it for you again. See you."

After Zhao Chi returned, he contacted Zhao Cang again and had all the supplies transported over.

Just like last time, Zhao Cang was about to go crazy from being busy.

An utterly numb expression on his face.

Zhao Chi suddenly wondered — could it be that what he had previously perceived as coldness was actually because of this reason?

He was too busy to manage his expressions.

So everyone he looked at got the same cold face.

Zhao Cang wearily looked at Zhao Chi.

But when he saw the list, his expression finally changed a little.

"All of this is your loot?"

Zhao Chi's loot was clearly much more than that of lords of the same level — far more, in fact.

"Yeah, Third Brother, take a look and see how much money you can give me?"

"How could you possibly have captured this much? Did you fight several lords?"

Zhao Cang didn't have Su Qin's sense of propriety.

Perhaps he felt there was no need for it.

Zhao Chi said: "Something like that. Give me a list too, let me see what I want to buy."

Zhao Cang sent over the list: "The list is a mess right now, I haven't had time to sort it out. Just make do and look through it yourself. Take more stuff away, and I can have an easier time too."

Zhao Chi browsed carefully.

He found that, just as before, the vast majority were equipment with low durability.

Including quite a bit of fine iron equipment and steel equipment.

Although cheap, with low durability there wasn't much point in buying them back.

There were also large quantities of basic resources for sale, and quite a few rare materials as well.

Now was exactly the cheap time, so Zhao Chi picked out a lot of rare materials.

Even with the high tax now, it was still about the same as the exchange's price.

Zhao Chi also picked 30 Quick-Build Talismans and 100 steel ingots; he didn't want anything else for now.

"Third Brother, that's all."

Zhao Cang sighed: "Alright, but right now the battle just ended, everyone has plenty of supplies to sell, and on top of that the tax is high, so the price for the loot you've brought in is a lot lower than usual."

Zhao Chi nodded: "I understand, just tell me how much."

"Um… you want 30 Quick-Build Talismans, 100 steel ingots, and these 1,500 portions of rare materials… I can only give you 860 gold coins."

It was indeed a bit less.

Over 100 gold coins less than the price Zhao Chi had estimated himself.

"Fine, that'll do. Thanks, Third Brother."

"No need to thank me, hurry up and go, don't linger."

"Haha, even if you asked me to stay I wouldn't. I'm very busy too."

"You're busy? You've only got one village, how busy could you be? Honestly…"

"Bye-bye, Third Brother."

Zhao Chi teleported straight back to Penglai Village.

Penglai Village was much livelier than just now — it was full of women's voices.

Those female soldiers were all soaking in the Carefree Spring, washing the grime off their bodies.

After the continuous battles, their bodies were covered in sweat, blood, and quite a bit of mud.

But none of them were actually washing their bodies.

Instead, they were all lying in the hot spring.

Each one's cheeks flushed, little mouths slightly parted, panting rapidly.

Various sighs and moans continued without end.

Humming and murmuring, delicate and bewitching.

It was simply like Qi Yue in bed.

Zhao Chi almost thought they had all been hit by a charm skill.

But he quickly understood.

This Carefree Spring was no longer the Carefree Spring of before, but a Carefree Spring with comfort maxed out.

Once these female soldiers went in, of course they felt so comfortable they forgot themselves, even forgetting to wash the filth off their bodies.

Looking at this, they wouldn't come out anytime soon.

But it didn't matter, since the expanded Carefree Spring would be placed to the south of Penglai Village, and them being here wasn't in the way.

For now it was only these female soldiers.

Later, when the others finished their work, they would also come to bathe.

Now that this Carefree Spring was so comfortable, once they got in they wouldn't want to leave, and by then it might really be packed shoulder to shoulder.

Zhao Chi came to the south and once again activated the Spring of Rejuvenation Expansion Book.

【The current building scale is quite large, requiring 38 Quick-Build Talismans. Confirm?】

Confirm!

Immediately, 38 beams of Bai Guang shot into the sky.

The light gathered.

【Please select target materials】

【1. Stone ×400】

【2. Moon Glow Stone ×400】

Huh? 400 units is enough?

That amount is just right!

Zhao Chi had still been worried that there wouldn't be enough Moon Glow Stones for this expansion.

After all, he needed to expand a full 6 large hot springs, plus 4 medium hot springs of different temperatures.

He didn't expect the materials to be exactly enough.

That was way too lucky.
