Chapter 467: Chapter 321: Mage Female Hero (4)
Zhuang Ya had just arrived.
But Gu Qing already had a general understanding of her personality.
Her way of speaking was a bit odd, but you could tell she was a good person.
Gu Qing understood her worries.
Gu Qing said softly, "It’s alright. Everyone has their little tempers, but so far, we’ve all gotten along wonderfully. Besides, with the effects of the Carefree Spring, everyone stays happy. Even if there are disagreements, they’re resolved quickly. You don’t need to worry about that."
Zhuang Ya said with emotion, "That’s wonderful. Really, this place is truly great."
You could tell she meant it.
Zhao Chi smiled. "Gu Qing, I’ll leave Zhuang Ya in your care, then. I’m going to head out to buy a few things. Do you two need anything?"
Gu Qing looked at Zhuang Ya.
Zhuang Ya shook her head. "No, thank you. I don’t need anything."
Gu Qing smiled. "Don’t you like Silk Stockings? The Lord is planning to make another batch soon. You can tell him what colors and styles you like. It’s no trouble for him to make them."
Zhao Chi said, "It’s not just Silk Stockings. I can make other styles of High Heels, Shirts, and even Pajamas. You can think about it and just let me know when I get back."
Zhuang Ya nodded. "I understand, Zhao Chi. Thank you in advance."
Zhao Chi smiled. "You’re welcome. I’ll leave the territory to you two. See you in a bit."
He smiled at Zhuang Ya, then nodded to Gu Qing.
Gu Qing nodded back at him.
Zhao Chi tapped to teleport and vanished.
He had already arranged to meet with Zhao Cang, so he teleported directly to Zhao Cang’s territory.
The place was as chaotic as ever.
Mountains of various raw materials were piled up right outside.
Rows upon rows of large warehouses were lined up.
Workers were constantly transporting goods, pushing carts and carrying loads on their shoulders.
Zhao Cang was holding a bowl, yelling at someone.
Rice sprayed from his mouth as he shouted.
The subordinate in front of him kept his head down, silently enduring the dual psychological and physical assault.
"...This is the fourth time I’ve said this! I can accept you being a little slow, but I can’t accept this kind of mistake! Fix it immediately, you hear me?"
The subordinate nodded repeatedly. "Yes, my Lord! I’ll get it fixed right away."
"Get going!"
The subordinate let out a sigh of relief and quickly ran off.
Zhao Cang sighed and took another bite of rice.
Zhao Chi stood a little further away.
"Zhao Chi, why are you standing so far away? I’m not going to yell at you. I have the Racial Improvement Books ready, but I can only give you three."
Zhao Chi chuckled. "Thanks, Third Brother. How come your side always seems so busy? Was it like this before?"
Zhao Cang sighed. "How could it have been like this before? We weren’t this strong back then. Even though things haven’t been going too smoothly for us lately, our family is still constantly improving. The amount of Supplies we had before wasn’t even half of this."
"Where is Fourth Uncle planning to trade this time? White Grass City or Celestial Peak City?"
"It’s not decided yet. Didn’t we just finish a meeting? Zhao Jing hasn’t started making the High-Resilience Gloves yet, so it’ll probably be a few more days before a decision is made."
"Which city is better?"
"What, you want to go?"
Zhao Chi smiled. "Yeah, I want to get out and see the world a bit. I’ve never even been outside of our Snowfield City. And since our Snowfield City is so chaotic, I might as well go look around another city."
Zhao Cang snorted. "That’s youth talking. You think just because our Snowfield City is chaotic, other cities aren’t? They’re all the same."
Zhao Chi asked, "I don’t know much about it. Can you tell me more? Do those two cities also have resistance armies fighting the Alien Race?"
"They do. And it’s not just them. It’s the same for cities further away, like Withered Leaf City, Ambition City, and others. They’re all at war right now."
"Then isn’t it very dangerous for Fourth Uncle to go to other cities?"
"Of course it’s dangerous! But he’s not going alone. The Xiao Family, the Qi Family, and the Liu Family are all going. People from other villages, like Nanlin Village, have also decided to go. We’re forming a trade caravan. Each family will contribute a few powerful Lords, so we won’t have to fear bandits."
"Oh, I see..."
"What else? Going alone would be suicide."
Zhao Chi was a little disappointed.
He had originally thought he could go to other cities to sell his fashion items. He could act as a traveling merchant, leaving right after he sold his goods. It would be harder for people to track him, giving him more freedom.
But that wasn’t an option for now.
’I’ll just have to think of another way.’
’Maybe I can keep selling Kerosene?’
’I could provide Kerosene to the family. Then, when they sell the High-Resilience Gloves, they could also sell High-brightness Kerosene?’
’That would help the family earn a bit more money.’
’That could work.’
"What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and buy what you need. Don’t linger around here."
"Oh, Third Brother, send me the list. I want to buy some Spiritual Skill Books. Do you have any right now?"
"We have some, but not many. Take a look yourself. Find me when you’ve decided."
Zhao Cang then shoved a few more mouthfuls of rice into his mouth and walked to the side to continue his inspection.
Zhao Chi currently had 1,659 Gold Coins.
It was enough to buy a Racial Bloodline.
The five basic Racial Bloodlines only cost around 400 Gold Coins, but with the current high taxes, it would take 500 Gold Coins to get one.
There were also two slightly better Racial Bloodlines available for under 1,500 Gold Coins.
Zhao Chi hesitated for a moment before deciding against it.
After all, an Ordinary Racial Bloodline could only be broken down into one to three Genes, and it was highly likely to be just one or two. The probability of getting three Genes was very low.
And the Genes you got weren’t guaranteed to be useful.
For example, you could get the Strong Body Odor Gene or the Cannibalism Gene.
If he really ended up with a useless Gene, all those Gold Coins would be wasted.
Besides, there was no immediate pressure from combat. Now was the time to focus on developing his economy.
On top of that, he still had to make Equipment and fashion items for the Female Soldiers. It was better to wait.
’If there was a Primitive Race Bloodline available, though, I’d definitely grab it.’
