Chapter 302: Chapter 265: Village Defense Battle (1)
When Zhao Chi first started using his four arms, he was very clumsy.
You could even say it was chaotic.
He would often use two arms but forget to use the other two.
Other times, he would consciously try to use all four, but he couldn’t coordinate them at all.
However, as he immersed himself in making these difficult pajamas, he slowly discovered that he could use all four arms naturally, without any conscious effort.
He had thought it would take a long time to practice.
He never expected to be able to use the four arms so perfectly already.
Ultimately, the reason was his Intelligence Attribute.
To be more specific, it was a Branch Attribute of Intelligence: Perception.
This was the foundation of his ability to do two things at once, or even to multitask.
’I never really paid much attention to the Intelligence Attribute before. I had no idea it was so practical.’
’It’s useful in every aspect of life.’
’These 10 Intelligence Points really are something special. It’s an incredibly powerful support Ability.’
Zhao Chi replied, "This... isn’t something I can teach. All I can say is that because my Intelligence Attribute has increased, my Perception Ability is very strong. I adapted quickly to doing two things at once. If you practice a lot, you can reach this level too."
Qi Yue: "Oh, so that’s how it is. You’re amazing, My Lord! I’ll be sure to practice hard."
Zhao Chi: "Mm, I’m sure you’ll have no problem. Let’s continue."
Qi Yue: "I’m also learning a great deal about sewing-related work from you. I’ve benefited so much. Let’s get started, then!"
By that evening, they had made another 60 sets of pajamas, all of which were distributed.
Both of their Sewing Skills and Specializations increased.
[Character] Qi Yue
[Skills] Sewing 4
[Specialization] Pajamas 4
Although it was only 4 points, that was already equivalent to four months of practice.
After all, these pajamas were quite difficult to make, so the experience gained was also high.
Under the dual Effect of the Experience Fruit and the pajamas, Qi Yue successfully gained 4 points, officially entering the Tailor Profession.
[Character] Zhao Chi
[Skills] Sewing 47
[Specialization] Pajamas 6
A Sewing Skill of 47 points was equivalent to four and a half years of full-time work experience.
He was definitely considered a Middle Level Tailor.
His production speed, success rate, and quality would also slowly improve.
He had wanted to keep going.
But his fourth uncle, Zhao Qiye, sent Zhao Chi a message telling him to go to the clan hall for a meeting.
Upon receiving it, Zhao Chi immediately stopped his work.
In the current situation, he didn’t dare to waste any time.
He explained things to Qi Yue and quickly teleported back to the Great World.
He immediately arrived in the courtyard of the clan hall.
Zhao Chi discovered that it wasn’t just him; the other Lords of the family had also arrived.
Everyone gathered in the meeting room.
There was still no seat for Zhao Chi at the main table; he sat in a chair against the wall.
Clan Leader Zhao Shizhang wore a grave expression.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, he had someone close the door.
CREAK—
The wooden door swung shut.
Zhao Shizhang turned his head and said, "Qizong, you tell them. We’ll see what everyone thinks, and consider this an announcement as well."
His first uncle, Zhao Qizong, nodded.
He stood up and said:
"I’m sure all of you have heard something about yesterday’s events.
"The rebels attacked River Valley Town, and on a much larger scale than before.
"We’ve been closely monitoring the course of the war.
"But now, we can confirm it: the nobles were defeated!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.
The nobles could be defeated?
How was that possible?
Even if they were truly caught in a surprise attack and temporarily defeated, it would only be for a short time.
The nobles would surely come back to wipe out the rebels later.
Although everyone detested the nobles, no one dared to underestimate their power.
Even if the rebels had launched a large-scale offensive this time, there was absolutely no way they could have truly defeated the nobles.
The crowd broke into a flurry of discussion.
First Uncle Zhao Qizong nodded and said, "We agree with what you’re all saying, but the fact is that Zhao Quan has already returned to Zone 7. He sent a message to the Clan Leader. It wasn’t just our Stream Town that was attacked—it was the entire Snowfield City!"
After he finished speaking this time, the room fell completely silent.
After all, the news was too incredible to believe.
Everyone’s minds were racing.
’The rebels have that kind of Energy?’
’To be able to launch a war across the entirety of Snowfield City?’
’How could they possibly have that kind of strength?’
Zhao Shizhang said, "The ones who started this war weren’t just the rebels, but also the Alien Race. You could say that this was a joint attack on the nobles, launched by the rebels and the Alien Race together."
’So that was it...’
’That would explain it.’
’Although the rebels are resourceful, in terms of overall strength, they are far inferior to the nobles.’
’Not the strength of individual rebels, but their strength as a whole.’
’There are some extremely powerful individuals among the rebels who could be considered top-tier Combat Powers even among the nobles.’
’But the overall strength of the rebels is very low.’
’After all, most of them come from the common folk, and the lowest rungs at that.’
’But the Alien Race is a different story.’
’The Alien Race was strong to begin with.’
’That’s how they were able to forcibly invade Snowfield City through the Territory World.’
’But this is still Human home turf, after all. A large-scale invasion by the Alien Race would result in massive losses for them.’
’So they’ve been slowly encroaching, aiming to reap benefits that way.’
’Even now, a portion of the tax revenue is taken by the Alien Race.’
’I never thought the rebels would actually join forces with the Alien Race to fight the nobles.’
’Is this a ploy to make the tiger devour the wolf?’
’But this is risky.’
’The wolf may be fierce and hateful, but the tiger is even more brutal.’
’After the tiger kills the wolf, what do you do about the tiger?’
’Who’s going to deal with the tiger?’
Zhao Chi didn’t know.
Neither did the Zhao Family Lords present.
Zhao Qizong continued:
"So, the nobles have now all retreated to the nine zones of the Central District.
"You could say they have temporarily abandoned all the outer districts."
