Chapter 529: Chapter 341: A Heart Towards the Light (5)

There was no comparing her to Lu Yi and the others.

But Su Qin, relying on herself, had managed to develop two Specialty Products: Bamboo Wine and Bamboo Leaf Tea. She would have a stable source of income from them, which was quite good.

Yang Xiong downed another cup of wine, his face flushing red.

His voice grew louder, too.

"Zhao Chi, enough about us. Tell us how you’re doing."

Zhao Chi nodded and gave them a general overview of his situation.

He included his escape from the Virtual Arena and the few incidents his territory had faced afterward.

Of course, he only told them what he could.

The effects of the alcohol on Cao Feng began to wear off a little.

He said with envy, "You guys at Stream Village are so lucky. After you beat the first wave of robbers, you didn’t face any retaliation and then the Alien Race took over? It wasn’t like that for us. We also beat the first wave of robbers, but then they came back for revenge... It was a total disaster..."

Yang Xiong said, "It’s all in the past now. We were spineless. We gave in the first time—handed over money, grain, and people. Our strength was weakened considerably, but at least we didn’t lose too many of our own."

Cao Feng snorted. "What does being spineless or tough have to do with it? The situations were just different. Your losses were smaller than ours, which means you made the right call."

Yang Xiong nodded silently.

Cao Feng turned to Zhao Chi. "So, what’s your Combat Power?"

Zhao Chi paused for a moment.

His current Combat Power was 499. There was no point in hiding that number; the World-breaking Army already had access to it.

They could look it up, too.

Besides, they would be grouped by Combat Power later anyway.

But Zhao Chi wanted to hear their numbers first.

"My Combat Power isn’t that high. You guys go first."

"Tsk." Cao Feng rolled his eyes at him. "Then take a drink."

Zhao Chi chuckled and raised his cup.

Lu Yi said with a smile,

"I’ll go then.

"The strongest in our group is Yang Xiong, with 241 Combat Power.

Next is Cao Feng with 232.

I’m at 171.

Then there’s Li Xun with 122.

And finally, Wang Lie with 120.

"Our group’s total Combat Power is 886. We can take on some of the weaker Town Lords now."

Lu Yi smiled.

PFFT!

Zhao Chi had just taken a sip of wine and hadn’t swallowed yet.

When he heard their Combat Power, he spat it all out.

Fortunately, he covered his mouth in time, or he would have sprayed it all over Lu Yi’s face.

But Zhao Chi still broke into a violent coughing fit.

’After all that enthusiastic talk for so long, this is all the Combat Power they have?’

Zhao Chi wasn’t laughing at them.

He was genuinely surprised.

But despite his surprise, he could understand why.

It was normal to have that level of Combat Power after only being a Lord for a little over a month.

In fact, many of their classmates only had a Combat Power in the 70s. For Li Xun and Wang Lie to break a hundred was actually quite impressive.

When the Celestial King Army came to extort Stream Village, and they decided to fight back, Zhao Chi’s own Combat Power had only been 134.

Of course, that was just his surface-level data.

The Robber Lords he was matched against back then also had Combat Power just over 100.

Even later, when he fought Xiao Ning, his Combat Power was only 230.

It was only after defeating Xiao Ning that he had immediately expanded his army, equipped everyone with Iron Armor, raised his Soldier Tier, and outfitted his troops with three pieces of Super-Improved Fashion each. All those factors combined were what brought his Combat Power to 499.

But then again...

A moment ago, Zhao Chi had been inwardly pitying Su Qin, thinking that Lu Yi, with her family’s help, was much better off.

But Su Qin’s Combat Power was 1370; she could wipe the floor with all five of them.

Even without the fashion items Zhao Chi had given her, her Combat Power would still be over 1,100—far higher than all five of them combined.

Then again, Su Qin was a year ahead of them.

Given a year, it should be easy for Lu Yi’s group to surpass Su Qin’s current level, but for now... Su Qin still completely overpowered them.

But Zhao Chi... he truly wasn’t on the same Level as them anymore.

Seeing Zhao Chi coughing violently, Lu Yi quickly grabbed some tissues, handed them to him, and gently patted his back.

"Drink slower. No one’s rushing you. How did you end up choking?"

Cao Feng said smugly, "Heh, he must be shocked by my 232 Combat Power."

Yang Xiong said, "Don’t be ridiculous. There’s no way Zhao Chi’s Combat Power is lower than yours. He was the champion of the entrance exam. And didn’t you guys say he won the rookie championship, too? His Combat Power is definitely around mine, maybe even higher."

"Bullshit," Cao Feng said, unconvinced.

Wang Lie was also curious. "Zhao Chi has to be over 200, at least. But it’s hard to say if he’s broken 250."

Li Xun said, "I think Zhao Chi definitely has 250. Wanna bet? Two cups of wine."

"Fuck it, I’ll take that bet. I bet he’s under 220." Cao Feng poured the wine unsteadily.

Yang Xiong added, "I’ll also bet he’s over 250."

Zhao Chi finally caught his breath and was about to speak when he started coughing again.

Cao Feng roared with laughter. "Look how desperate he is! I bet his Combat Power is 200 at most. I’ll look it up."

Lu Yi was still patting Zhao Chi’s back. "Do you know his ID? Do you even have the clearance?"

Cao Feng snorted.

"I don’t know his ID, but I have clearance to view Village Lords. I can just filter the list. It’ll be quick!"

"...Stream Village... Zhao Chi... Haha, found him!"

"Let me see your Combat Power..."

"...Holy shit..."

The smile on Cao Feng’s face froze.

His eyes widened, and some of his drunkenness instantly vanished.

He rubbed his face, looked up at the sky, then rubbed his eyes again.

Yang Xiong said impatiently, "What are you doing, Cao Feng? Spacing out? Did you find it or not? If you can’t, I’ll look."

Cao Feng shot Yang Xiong a glare.

Then he turned to Zhao Chi and asked in disbelief, "You... son of a bitch, how the fuck do you have 499 Combat Power?!"

PFFT! Yang Xiong sprayed out his drink too.

The hand Lu Yi had on his back trembled.

Li Xun and Wang Lie exchanged a look, both seeing the utter shock in each other’s eyes.
