Chapter 297: Chapter 262: Metamorphosis (7)
Zhao Chi said, "Don’t worry. Just like the Carefree Spring, you just have to wear it for a little while at night for it to take Effect."
Gu Qing asked, "Does that mean several people can take turns using this one nightgown?"
Zhao Chi smiled and waved his hand. "How could that be possible? Each fashion item can only be bound to one person. If a second person puts it on and it becomes Effective, the Effect on the first person will disappear."
"Oh, so that’s how it works. Then there’s no problem at all."
Gu Qing happily accepted it.
At this point, all the items had been used.
Zhao Chi truly felt reborn. Both he and his forces had made great strides.
"My Lord, don’t just stand there dazed. Go get some sleep. I’ll give you a massage to help you relax."
Gu Qing hugged Zhao Chi’s arm.
Zhao Chi said, "I can’t. There are still things that need to be done."
"What else is there? Are you afraid I’m going to eat you up right now? I know you’re uncomfortable at the moment, so we’ll just rest. After you wake up and have recovered, then I’ll devour you properly~"
Zhao Chi laughed. "My Body is much stronger than before. Even if you wanted to right now, I could definitely satisfy you. But there really is something else."
"Yes, yes, my Lord has always been strong. What is it? Can’t it wait until later?"
Zhao Chi shook his head and briefly explained the situation outside to Gu Qing.
After hearing this, Gu Qing’s charming smile vanished, and her expression turned serious.
"So... the situation outside is grim? The rebels and the nobles are fighting?"
Zhao Chi nodded. "That’s right. And this time, I feel like the rebels are going all out. The scale is much larger than before."
Gu Qing asked, "Then what should we do? Should we support the nobles? Or should we side with the rebels?"
Zhao Chi sighed.
"Our current strength isn’t enough. We don’t have what it takes to pick a side. For now, we can only stand with the family. Whoever the family supports, we’ll support."
"Understood."
"However, our territory’s situation is Special. I need to move most of our Supplies and Equipment to Penglai Village, including the Carefree Spring and the Arousing Atmosphere Territory Trait."
"Can they be moved?"
"Yes! I bought the necessary items from the Exchange in the county before."
"I see. So do we need to move more of our inventory over there as well?"
"We do. Can you see our inventory list?"
"Yes, you already gave me permission before."
"Good. Let’s go over it and figure out how to allocate everything."
"Okay."
The two of them sat on the bed and immediately began their discussion.
The situation outside was indeed somewhat complicated.
Based on what Zhao Chi saw when he fled, the nobles seemed to be at a complete disadvantage.
But the nobles had deep foundations and would surely counterattack.
It was impossible to know what the outcome would be by morning.
But regardless of whether it was the nobles or the rebels, they would most likely come to scout the territory.
Moving the Supplies was essential.
Right now, Zhao Chi’s entire territory had a massive amount of Supplies.
[Zhao Chi’s Faction - Current Inventory]
[Resource List]:
「Food」20 tons
「Wood」1383 units
「Iron Ore」1059 baskets
「Iron Ingot」2152 pieces
「Snow Bear Hide」500 pieces
「Fur」1418 pieces
「cloth」201 bolts
「Stone」77 pieces
「coal」59 baskets
「Fat」14 tons
[Equipment List]:
「Wooden Spear」1500
「Wooden Shield」150
「Iron Short Sword」1414
「Iron Spear」85
「Iron Shield」160
「Iron Bow」50
「Iron Arrow」1000
「Iron Armor」24 sets
「Female Leather Armor」105 sets
「Female Bear Skin Armor」104 sets
「Male Leather Armor」265 sets
「Male Black Armor」630 sets
「Ultra-Thin Silk Stockings」601 pairs
「Silk Smooth Shirt」530
「High-Efficiency Shirt」300
「Flexible High Heels」315 pairs
The amount of Supplies was, to put it mildly, enormous.
The warehouse couldn’t hold it all; most of the Supplies were temporarily piled up outdoors.
The vast majority of the food was bear meat, about 15 tons.
There were also about 5 tons of other animal meat.
There were only a few dozen kilograms of fruits and vegetables.
The meat had already been sliced and was in the process of being air-dried, but some of it would surely spoil.
The spoiled meat could be fed to the Naga Warriors and Harpies, so it wouldn’t go to waste.
A total of 4,679 units of wood had been chopped, with 1,383 units currently remaining.
This could be roughly understood as having chopped down 4,679 trees.
Some trees were smaller and thinner, counting as only half a unit, while some were large and thick, possibly counting as 2-5 units.
Wood was a standard unit, not perfectly equivalent to a tree, but they could be considered roughly equal.
Peach Blossom Village started with 7,700 trees, and Penglai Village had 5,700.
Now, more than half of the trees in Peach Blossom Village had been cut down, and a considerable area had been cleared in Penglai Village as well.
The buildable area in both villages was already quite large.
However, there were still many stumps that hadn’t been cleared, which would be removed slowly over time.
A total of 1,556 baskets of Iron Ore had been mined, with 1,059 baskets remaining.
The two villages had a total reserve of 10,800 baskets, so there was still a lot left.
Since defeating Zhao Ji, Zhao Chi had stopped assigning people to mine.
After all, he had captured a large amount of Black Armor that needed to be smelted down, so there was no need to mine for the time being.
There were still 2,152 finished Iron Ingots.
That was a lot, enough to craft 70 Iron Armor Sets, including Iron Shields.
There were 500 pieces of Snow Bear Hide left.
They had previously hunted a total of 200 snow bears, but leather and fur also had standard units of measurement.
Depending on the size of the snow bear, one complete hide could be processed into several pieces of Snow Bear Hide.
Over 100 sets of Snow Bear Hide armor had already been made, and about 500 more sets could still be crafted.
There were also 1,418 pieces of ordinary Fur and 201 bolts of cloth remaining.
These were used for crafting common Leather Armor, clothes, bedsheets, blankets, and other daily necessities.
There were 14 tons of Fat.
This also came from those plump snow bears.
Although the Refiners were working overtime refining it, a lot still remained.
However, there was no need to worry about the Fat rotting.
Rancid fat could still be rendered into oil to make Kerosene.
It wasn’t a big problem.
As for Equipment:
Production of wooden spears and shields had been temporarily halted.
Even for regular training, most now used real weapons.
There were still 1,414 Iron Short Swords and 630 sets of Male Black Armor, all from Zhao Ji’s territory.
This Equipment was all standard-issue for the nobles, so Zhao Chi couldn’t possibly use it.
It could only be smelted down into Iron Ingots.
There was no helping the significant Loss.
A rough estimate suggested they could be smelted down into about 9,000 Iron Ingots.
That was probably enough to craft over 300 sets of Iron Armor.
Killing nobles was really profitable.
All of this had already been moved to Penglai Village, which would save some effort this time.
There were also 265 sets of Male Leather Armor, also captured from Zhao Ji.
This Leather Armor was Universal Armor, so it could be equipped.
Unfortunately, it was all male armor. Modifying it into Female Armor would be time-consuming and laborious, so he decided against it.
Besides, it had all been worn by the Blood Race before, so Zhao Chi’s Female Soldiers probably wouldn’t like wearing it.
It would be better to sell it later.
Among the fashion items, although there were many pairs of Silk Stockings, 285 of them were the old model.
He could make some money by selling them, but Zhao Chi didn’t want to. He’d just let them wear out naturally.
All the Equipment and fashion items listed included those currently equipped.
His brief discussion with Gu Qing concluded.
It was safe to say that most of the Supplies had to be moved.
Only some essential Supplies would be left in Peach Blossom Village.
The amount could be slightly more than what a Lord of the same level would have.
The population also had to be transferred.
Right now, Zhao Chi had a total of 282 people across his two territories.
If calculated at a rate of 5 people arriving per day, Zhao Chi should only have 137 people. He had an excess of 145.
All these people had to be moved as well.
As for the Harpies, Naga Warriors, and Flower Demons, it didn’t matter.
Zhao Chi had captured them all openly and legitimately.
Gu Qing said softly, "Hmm... the workload is manageable. If everyone participates in the transport now, we can definitely finish by tomorrow morning."
Zhao Chi took out the 「Territory Attribute Unloading Talisman」 and the 「Small Building Relocation Talisman」 and handed them to Gu Qing.
"I’m leaving this to you. The Territory Traits can be transferred in a moment. As for the Carefree Spring, just move it when you see fit."
"Okay."
"Have Qi Yue come see me, and then arrange for the others to start moving things."
"Alright, I’m on it."
Gu Qing turned and left.
Zhao Chi, on the other hand, directly contacted his fifth brother in the clan, Zhao Jing.
Zhao Chi: [Fifth Brother, what are you up to?]
Zhao Jing replied with an unfriendly tone: [Zhao Chi? Why are you contacting me again? It’s never for anything good.]
Zhao Chi ignored his attitude: [Take a look and see if you have this material. I need to buy some.]
He sent over the list of Rare Materials for the Pajamas.
Zhao Chi didn’t have enough of the materials on hand.
The Exchange in town was probably destroyed, and he had no idea about the situation in the other towns and counties.
He probably wouldn’t be able to buy from an Exchange for a while.
