Chapter 474: Chapter 323: Mage Female Hero (6)
[Total Consumption: 4 days, 192 Speeding Charms, and 4 Gold Coins’ worth of Medicine]
In this battle, the Female Soldiers’ Iron Armor was mostly destroyed, including their Leg Armor and War Boots.
After all, the Female Soldiers all possessed the Soft Body Gene, making their bodies extremely supple and agile.
When their Armor was destroyed, they would use kicks and other leg movements to make their Leg Armor and War Boots absorb the damage.
As a result, almost none of their Armor could be saved.
Their Weapons also had to be replaced. Most were damaged, and the few that weren’t still needed major repairs.
Some Weapons had been used to defend against Wolf Claws on the battlefield and were snapped right in two.
This time, they would all be newly forged.
A total of 300 Iron Phoenix Cry Sabers were forged, which was enough to re-equip the troops for now.
The steel versions of the Phoenix Cry Saber were reserved for the Female Heroes.
Qi Yue had worn out six sabers in the last battle alone, so this time, twenty were forged, with fifteen allocated to her.
Ten Steel Shields were also made for the Female Heroes.
Over the past few days, a total of 5,727 liters of Kerosene were produced.
It wouldn’t have been possible to produce so much so quickly, but fortunately, Chen Hua’s Refining Group had already been producing basic Kerosene. If they hadn’t, all that snow bear fat would have gone rancid.
This allowed Zhao Chi to directly apply his Improvement process, saving a great deal of time.
That was how they ultimately produced such a large quantity.
He would keep 227 liters for the territory and sell the remaining 5,500.
According to their previous agreement, at a price of 20 Silver Coins per liter, the batch would sell for a total of 1,100 Gold Coins.
This would cover the cost of all the raw materials from the past two days, including those for the cosmetic outfits, and even leave a small profit.
However, they were already running low on raw materials.
They still had Rare Materials, but they had run out of animal fat.
From now on, they would have to purchase it.
The freshly produced Super Bright Kerosene was still warm, but Zhao Chi was already eager to contact Zhao Cang.
Zhao Cang readily agreed. "That much? No problem! Come on over. Fourth Uncle and his group might be leaving soon, so they can take this Super Bright Kerosene with them."
Zhao Chi took out a Chaos Mark Talisman.
’With this much Kerosene, the tax would be over one hundred Gold Coins.’
’I’m definitely not paying that!’
But then a thought occurred to him. ’I’m in Penglai Village. It’s an unregistered, lawless place.’
’There’s no need to pay taxes here at all.’
’I can just save the Chaos Mark Talisman for later, when I’m killing enemies or need to escape, to prevent them from tracking me.’
’Not bad at all.’
Soon, Zhao Chi arrived at Zhao Cang’s location, leading the Female Soldiers who were in charge of transport.
After being away for just six days, he found the place had been completely transformed.
The chaos from a few days ago had vanished, replaced by perfect order.
Zhao Cang certainly lived up to his reputation for managing warehouses and goods.
He was in the distance, discussing something with Zhao Hong.
Zhao Chi didn’t approach them immediately.
They finished their conversation quickly.
Zhao Hong gave Zhao Chi a nod of greeting before leaving.
Only then did Zhao Cang walk over.
"Not bad, Zhao Chi. 5,500 liters is a huge amount. The price hasn’t changed, has it?"
Zhao Chi shook his head. "It hasn’t changed. It’s still 20 Silver Coins per liter."
Although Zhao Chi knew the Zhao Family’s caravan would probably sell this Kerosene for double the price, he didn’t mind.
For one, the Zhao Family had always treated him well.
Although their previous help hadn’t been substantial, they had supported him for two years.
They had helped build his house, provided him with sufficient living expenses, and even paid his tuition.
Although it was easy for Zhao Chi to make money now, it was still a difficult task for most people.
He felt that their supporting him for two years was already more than enough.
Moreover, the Zhao Family’s attitude toward him had been improving ever since he won two championships in a row.
Everyone was busy and didn’t have time to mentor him personally, but the Zhao Family had still provided him with various things from time to time.
For a Junior Lord, those things were quite a lot.
This was especially true considering the Zhao Family was only a minor family.
If the Zhao Family could earn more and grow stronger, Zhao Chi was more than happy to help.
Besides, once the sales channels were open, future demand was likely to increase.
In a way, the Zhao Family was helping him break into the market, which was a good thing.
Zhao Cang quickly finished his inspection.
"Excellent. 5,500 liters, exactly. Here are 1,100 Gold Coins. Keep them safe."
Zhao Chi happily accepted them.
"Third Brother, when is Fourth Uncle leaving?"
"It’s not set yet, but sometime in the next couple of days. I expect they’ll be gone by the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"I heard we have business partners in White Grass City. Is there any way to ask about the situation there? To see if it’s safe and what the conditions are like?"
Zhao Cang chuckled. "Who told you we have partners there? That was a long time ago. I was still young, and you were just a child."
Zhao Chi said, "I overheard some of the uncles chatting and just picked up bits and pieces."
"Yes, we used to, but that was more than a decade ago. Who knows what White Grass City is like now? We’d have to start everything from scratch, build new sales channels."
"Can’t we contact them?"
"Contact them? How?"
"Can’t we use the Array to contact White Grass City directly? Now that the Alien Race is allowing us to leave the city freely, haven’t they also granted communication access?"
Zhao Cang shook his head. "It used to be controlled by the nobles, who forbade inter-city communication. Now it’s controlled by the Alien Race, and they forbid it too. After all, that kind of access is a strategic asset; it’s impossible for them to open it up."
Zhao Chi nodded.
’This world really is different.’
’Communication relies on connections between Arrays. Whoever controls the Arrays holds immense power.’
’Never mind a city-wide Array; even a small Village Level Array was incredibly useful.’
’For instance, it could pull invaders directly into a pocket dimension, giving the defenders the initiative and the ability to choose their opponents.’
’The same went for communication. You could use the system to contact other villages.’
’Previously, Stream Village was controlled by the four great families, but now it had fallen under the control of the Alien Race.’
’Control over Stream Village’s Array had also fallen into the hands of the Alien Race.’
