Chapter 147: Chapter 146: The Second Distribution

Tang Ruan had also just woken up.

She had been exposed to too many kinds of poison powders, so she slept in a little longer.

The various Abnormal States on her skin had mostly recovered, and she would be fully healed in another hour.

Tang Ruan was in the middle of a yawn, but she immediately smiled upon seeing Zhao Chi.

"Hello, Lord. Were you looking for me?"

"That’s right. Time to craft."

"Hehe, please come in."

Zhao Chi then went to give Gu Qing some instructions.

Gu Qing nodded. "Understood. Leave the territory to me. Be careful out there. With Tang Ruan by your side, I can rest easy. If you run into any danger, come back immediately."

"Thank you for your hard work, Gu Qing."

Gu Qing smiled. "It’s nothing. Is there still enough silk outside? Do you need me to secrete some more before you go?"

Zhao Chi nodded. "There’s still enough. Quite a bit, actually. You held it in for a long time last time, so there’s still a lot left from that big pile you secreted."

"Oh, haha, well, be careful then."

"Okay."

Tang Ruan had been listening to their conversation the whole time.

She didn’t say a word, but her heart was pounding.

’Is the Lord going to take me out with him?’

The last time, Zhao Chi had accidentally taken her out, but they had returned to the territory after only a few seconds.

Tang Ruan was actually the first to know about this, even before Gu Qing.

But she had kept it a strict secret.

She hadn’t told anyone.

However, she also longed to see Zhao Chi’s world again.

She had been quite envious watching Zhao Chi come and go with Gu Qing.

Now that Zhao Chi was really taking her out, she was incredibly excited.

Tang Ruan: ’Wow! The Lord is taking me out!’

Tang Ruan: ’This is great! It’s finally my turn! I can finally see the Lord’s world again!’

Tang Ruan: ’But I’m going there to craft. I can’t get too excited, or it’ll affect the Lord’s technique.’

Tang Ruan: ’Calm down, calm down... Why can’t I calm down?!’

Zhao Chi listened in silence.

He didn’t respond to her.

This time, Zhao Chi brought some extra Clean Kerosene for his own use. Even though he had to pay tax on it, he didn’t mind such a small amount.

There was still plenty of other Silk Stocking Material outside, which he had set aside earlier.

There was nothing else he needed to bring.

Zhao Chi: ’Tang Ruan, are you ready?’

Tang Ruan: ’I’ve been ready for ages!’

He clicked return.

As the scenery before them changed, Tang Ruan once again saw the scene she had replayed in her mind so many times.

But this time, it seemed very different.

The furnishings in the room were simpler, making it look more like a workshop.

But Tang Ruan still took it all in with great relish.

Zhao Chi said with a smile, ’Tang Ruan, you control the left eyeball, I’ll control the right. Let’s go take a walk outside first.’

Tang Ruan was overjoyed. ’Really? We can go look outside?’

Zhao Chi: ’Of course. Let’s go.’

Zhao Chi was, of course, indulging Tang Ruan’s curiosity.

As expected, Tang Ruan was ecstatic.

She was cheering loudly in her mind.

Zhao Chi cracked open the door and peeked out. It was just after 3 a.m., so of course there was no one around. Everything was pitch black.

However, he could still make out some of the surroundings by the starlight and the blue glow of the Array outside the wall.

The left eye, under Tang Ruan’s control, was already darting around.

It swiveled everywhere, unable to get enough of the sights.

Zhao Chi didn’t linger by the village, instead rushing out into the surrounding area with Tang Ruan.

An hour later, they returned to the Wooden House once more.

Although there wasn’t much to see in the vicinity, it was enough for Tang Ruan.

She asked about everything under the sun, and Zhao Chi patiently answered her questions.

The two of them exchanged hundreds of messages in their minds in an instant. Eventually, Tang Ruan felt a little too shy to ask any more.

After returning to the Wooden House, Tang Ruan had truly satisfied her craving.

Zhao Chi: ’Can you focus on crafting now?’

Tang Ruan was a bit embarrassed. ’I can, hehe. Thank you for taking me out to have fun, Lord.’

Zhao Chi: ’Don’t worry about it. There will be many more opportunities. I’ll take you to more places in the future.’

Tang Ruan: ’Okay! Great!’

Next, it was time to begin crafting.

The two of them still used 15 Speeding Charms at a time, and Zhao Chi continued to produce Rough Quality Silk Stockings for sale.

This continued until 12 p.m.

Zhao Chi deliberately stopped to see if there were any good Magical Beasts in the midday distribution.

It turned out the Tier 0 Magical Beasts were all mediocre.

He specifically checked the Tier One ones, but they were all useless as well.

In any case, his quota for the day was already complete, so he could deal with it tomorrow.

Zhao Chi resumed crafting.

Another two cycles were completed.

By 10 p.m., they had used a total of 60 Speeding Charms, equivalent to 600 work hours.

By now, they had finished several hundred pairs of Silk Stockings, and their technique had become quite Proficient.

Moreover, now that he was using Tang Ruan’s nimble fingers, his Efficiency was much higher than when he had worked alone.

In total, they produced 150 pairs of Super-Improved Silk Stockings.

Compared to the 126 pairs he had made by himself last time, he worked for six fewer hours but produced 24 more pairs.

Most importantly, he no longer felt so uncomfortable; in fact, the more he worked, the happier he became.

Towards the end, Tang Ruan even started singing in her mind.

Zhao Chi: ’Let’s go back before we sing.’

Tang Ruan: ’La la la la la la!’

Zhao Chi wanted to sing too, but he knew that being in such a state of euphoria meant he shouldn’t stay outside for long.

It was easy to run into danger.

The next second, he was back in his brightly lit territory.

Gu Qing was already used to seeing them acting crazed.

Like coaxing small children, she guided the dizzy yet happy pair under the covers and gently patted them to sleep.

Soon, Zhao Chi was back in his own body. He lay down on the bed next to Tang Ruan, and they both slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next time Zhao Chi awoke, it was to Gu Qing’s gentle voice.

"Lord, it’s time to wake up. It’s 11:45 p.m."

"Oh... okay."

Zhao Chi noticed the space beside him in the bed was empty. He reached out and felt the sheets; they were still warm.

Gu Qing smiled. "Tang Ruan woke up ten minutes ago to put on her Equipment."

"Alright, then let’s go too."

Beside the bed, Zhao Chi’s full set of Leather Armor was laid out neatly.

But he almost never used it.

These days, he would at most wear a set of Cloth Clothing, since he would be drilling into Qi Yue’s body in a moment anyway.

Outside the house, the Female Soldiers were all ready.

Their will to fight was strong.

There were no problems at all.

The entire army was ready for battle!

When Zhao Chi had first learned Encourage, he thought its main purpose was to raise the Morale of routed Soldiers and get them back into the fight.

But as it turned out, these women all had the Fearless trait.

It was impossible for them to be routed.

So now, Encourage had been relegated to a simple means of increasing their desire to fight.

That wasn’t bad either; it was more Efficient.

「In the class group chat.」

The students were discussing the situation in other classes.

A few commoner students had died in battle today.

Their grades were average, their strength was average.

They were all very Ordinary students.

Normally, no one would have even known who they were.

But now that they had died in battle, they had become famous.

They had also been killed by the extra Magical Beasts that were assigned.

After all, they were just ordinary people.

Without family support or a fortunate encounter, they only gained five refugees per day.

By today, they would only have 105 people.

And they still had to divide them into combat personnel and support/production personnel.

The subjects of an ordinary person were also ordinary people.

Ordinary Human Race, ordinary Beast Race, or ordinary Elves.

Their strength was also Ordinary.

When everything was Ordinary, fighting an enemy of equal numbers would inevitably lead to casualties.

That was why, even though the 200 Tier 0 Magical Beasts assigned to Zhao Chi were the lightest burden in the entire family, it was still a heavy task for a Lord of his Level.

However, this had nothing to do with Zhao Chi.

Not only did he not find it a heavy burden, but he was even thinking that if there were any good Tier One Magical Beasts, he could get a few to play with.

Or to make use of.

「In the family group chat.」

In the afternoon, some of the younger generation in the clan had already started calling for help.

But they were all encountering Tier Three or higher Magical Beasts.

Zhao Chi could only watch, waiting for the clan elders to rescue them.

Fortunately, they all managed to turn danger into safety in the end.

But Loss of troops was inevitable.

「In the Stream Village group chat.」

Xiao Rui had been cursing in it for a while.

Even now, he was still calling out Zhao Chi from time to time. You could tell he was holding in a huge amount of frustration and was about to burst from being unable to vent it.

It seemed that his Second Uncle, Zhao Qizu, hadn’t bothered with the matter after hearing Zhao Huai’s report.

That was why no one had come to bother Zhao Chi all day.

Some of Xiao Rui’s relatives and cronies were also chiming in to support him. Zhao Chi found it all very dull, as if he were seeing the shadow of Cao Feng in them.

But at least Cao Feng had lost an Improvement Book to him. This Xiao Rui was just a pure troll.

But... this kind of person wasn’t so bad either.

The young and impetuous ones were the most fun.

’I’ll go have some fun with him in a bit and get something out of him, too.’

Time passed quickly.

As soon as midnight struck, Zhao Chi immediately opened the system.
