Chapter 439: Chapter 311: Four-Way Melee (12)
I don’t get tired even after long periods without sleep.
And I can maintain peak efficiency in my tasks.
I can use this!
As for Zhao Chi and his three women... he decided against it.
Zhao Chi had made a point of asking the three of them.
Gu Qing firmly rejected the idea. "No way, My Lord. Putting my personal preferences aside, doing... that... gives us more benefits. Genetic Enhancement and Paradise Fury are very powerful Skills, and we need the Energy Points."
Zhao Chi asked, "Why put your personal preferences aside?"
Gu Qing pouted. "My Lord, are you just feigning ignorance? That sort of thing *is* my personal preference!"
She said it with such surprising conviction.
This, in turn, left Zhao Chi speechless.
Gu Qing asked in return, "Well, My Lord, don’t you enjoy this sort of thing?"
"Well..."
"Be honest."
"I like it too..."
Gu Qing was visibly relieved. "Hee hee, see? Isn’t that better? Let the other sisters get the Energy Bonus. As for us, we’ll just keep doing what we’ve been doing. In fact, we should do it even more! The Energy Points and Genetics you give us are the best Bonus of all!"
Zhao Chi was surprised. "Even more? Isn’t what we’re doing now more than enough?"
Gu Qing shook her head. "It’ll only be enough once you’ve maxed us all out."
Fine...
The burden was heavy, and the road was long.
When he asked Tang Ruan, she was taken aback.
"Huh? My Lord... you’re not going to touch us for a whole month?"
"It’s not that. The Effect only activates after I haven’t touched you for a month. If I touch you, the Time has to accumulate all over again."
"Huh...?"
Tang Ruan was dumbfounded.
She’d taken him seriously.
After a moment of contemplation, Tang Ruan nodded.
"Yes! I understand! Even though I’ll... want it sometimes... if it’s your decision, My Lord, I will follow it diligently!"
"No, I was just asking for your opinion. I don’t actually plan on doing it."
"Oh? Really?" Tang Ruan brightened up considerably. "If you’re asking for my opinion, then of course... I still want you to touch me, My Lord. And touch me roughly! Don’t go easy on me!"
"Got it..."
"My Lord, you really aren’t planning to do that, right?"
"Yeah, really."
"Hee hee, that’s wonderful~"
For a split second, Tang Ruan’s expression looked a little like Gu Qing’s.
But on a closer look, she had already reverted to her incomparably innocent expression.
The last one he asked was Qi Yue.
Qi Yue didn’t hesitate in the slightest.
She nodded lightly. "An increase in Energy would certainly be good. I can personally attest to its benefits."
"So, you agree?"
"No. I follow my Lord’s orders. Whatever you command, I will do. Even if that means you don’t wish to touch me, I will accept it completely."
"What are you talking about? When did I say I didn’t want to touch you? Don’t get the wrong idea, I was just asking for your opinion."
"My Lord’s opinion! *Is* my opinion!"
Qi Yue spoke these uncompromising words in a gentle tone.
Zhao Chi nodded. "I get it."
But Qi Yue still asked in a hushed voice, "In that case, My Lord... if you’re not going to touch me... can I still eat it?"
"...You want to eat it? Isn’t that the same thing?"
"Huh? It is?"
"It is."
"Oh... so I can’t eat it either?"
"You can’t."
"But My Lord, once you’ve accumulated it all, won’t it just go to waste? What a shame."
"Don’t worry. With the three of you around, I’ll never manage to fill the meter in this lifetime."
"Mmm~ At least don’t let it go to waste~"
Zhao Chi went ahead and installed this Territory Trait in Penglai Village.
After all, this trait originally belonged to Xiao Ning. If he installed it in Peach Blossom Village, there was a chance it could be traced back to him.
Each territory could install up to three Territory Traits, and he currently had slots to spare.
Soon, the new trait finished installing in Penglai Village.
Zhao Chi clicked to view his villagers’ information.
Aside from Gu Qing and the others, every female villager belonging to Penglai Village had indeed received a 30% boost to their Energy.
They were all filled with vigor.
They were no longer drowsy at noon, nor did they struggle to open their eyes upon waking.
Everyone was brimming with Vitality!
This Territory Trait was pretty good.
After destroying Xiao Ning’s territory, only a few minutes remained on the Boundary Lock’s timer.
Those few minutes passed quickly.
The moment the Boundary Lock expired, the communication system was restored.
Zhao Chi was immediately flooded with messages.
A few were from the Alien Race Lords, summoning Lords who had finished their battles to provide reinforcements elsewhere.
Others were from various families, mostly reporting on their battle progress.
The Zhao Family had also sent a few messages, likewise directing their clansmen in a coordinated assault.
He could ignore all of those.
Then there were a few messages addressed to him personally.
His second brother, Zhao Huang, and his fourth brother, Zhao Jing, had each sent messages asking about his situation and whether he needed support.
Checking the timestamps, they had all been sent within the last half hour.
It seemed both of their battles had also lasted nearly two hours.
Zhao Chi replied to both of them, telling them he was fine and didn’t need support.
Su Qin had sent over ten messages.
Her earliest one was from over an hour ago.
[Zhao Chi, I finished my battle. These mixed Soldier Types are really effective. I used a combination of Beastman and Elf troops with some Simple tactics and managed to crush an opponent whose Combat Power was 55 points higher than mine.]
[How are things on your end? Need support?]
[Oh, wait, I forgot. With your strength, you’re the one who supports others. There’s no way you’d need my help.]
[You probably finished a long time ago, didn’t you? Are you off helping someone else?]
[Where are you fighting? You can invite me, I’ll come reinforce with you.]
[Don’t worry, I’m not trying to steal your Contribution points. I’ll follow your command.]
[Aren’t all your Soldiers women? I can have my Beastman Slave Soldiers tank the Damage up front while you and my Elf Soldiers flank from the side. We’ll take fewer losses that way.]
[Ah, I forgot again. You’re stronger than me. I should be the one listening to your commands.]
[Zhao Chi, why aren’t you answering me? Are you in trouble?]
[Zhao Chi, Second Brother has finished his fight. If you’re in trouble, tell him quickly. He can go help you.]
[Zhao Chi, if you don’t need my help, I’m going to go help someone else, okay? But if you do need something, tell me right away. I can come to you first.]
