Chapter 547: Chapter 347: Trade Route (3)

"Keep watch? You?" Aik roared with laughter.

Jiadan, who was beside him, also laughed. "Don’t worry, Zhao Chi. You don’t need to worry about the carriage. We have so many people here, we can find someone to drive for you easily. As for keeping watch, you don’t need to worry about that either."

Zhao Chi smiled. "I just feel bad going back to my territory to rest while you all are working so hard."

Tie Shan turned his head. "There’s nothing to feel bad about. Plenty of Lords have already gone back. If you go, you’ll free up a seat, and the guys will have more room to rest. Stay put unless there’s trouble. I’ll call you when we reach Dark Night City in three days."

Aik said, "If there really is a war, it has nothing to do with you anyway. If we can win, we definitely won’t need you. If we lose, then you’re doomed either way."

Zhao Chi chuckled. "Alright, I’ll head back to my territory then. If I teleport out again, where will I appear?"

"Right here!" Aik slapped the carriage bed. "If you come back out, you’ll appear right here in the back."

Zhao Chi nodded.

But he still had another question.

"I heard Captain Li say that frequently entering and exiting the territory consumes a lot of the Array’s Energy. Is that true?"

Jiadan explained:

"Yes, it does consume Energy.

"However, as long as you don’t carry too many things with you, the impact isn’t significant if it’s just you going in and out.

"But you should try not to bring out any more Kerosene.

"This isn’t because of the Energy factor, though. It’s a rule. We can’t make exceptions.

"After all, everyone is watching. If they see you bringing things, others will want to as well, and the Energy supply won’t be able to handle it.

"You understand, right?"

Zhao Chi nodded. "I understand."

Jiadan smiled. "We’re out on the road, after all. It’s not as convenient as being in a city. We just have to make do."

Zhao Chi asked, "What about Supplies inside my System Space?"

"That doesn’t matter; the System Space is unrestricted. However, if you’re frequently teleporting via the System Space, it amounts to the same thing. The more you enter and exit, the more Energy you’ll consume. So even if it’s just you, you should still try to limit the number of trips."

"I get it. I’ll wait in my territory and come back out in three days."

Aik grinned. "Great! In three days, I’ll take you to Luohong Tower."

Zhao Chi was about to teleport away but stopped.

"You can go to Luohong Tower, too?"

Aik was taken aback. "Of course I can go. It’s not like I’m incapable."

Zhao Chi said, "No, what I’m asking is... aren’t you Captain Mo’s Hero? Are you allowed to move around freely in Dark Night City?"

Aik laughed. "Of course. As long as you don’t bring too many people out. A large group requires an application, but three or five people is totally fine. If you have Heroes who want to go, I can take you all with me. But we all pay for our own girls. That’s money you have to cough up yourself."

Zhao Chi smiled. "Got it. Thanks, Aik."

"Don’t mention it."

Aik waved his green arm, not minding at all.

Zhao Chi smiled. "Alright then, I won’t be a nuisance here any longer. Sorry to trouble you, Captain Tie. Aik, Jiadan, see you in three days."

Tie Shan waved.

Jiadan nodded.

Aik smiled and took the reins.

「The next moment, Zhao Chi returned to his territory.」

The territory was a picture of peace and harmony.

The sun was shining, and warm morning light bathed everything. It was a completely different world from the gloomy environment just moments before.

The female villagers were all busy at work. The air was filled with their melodious chatter.

They all greeted Zhao Chi sweetly when they saw him.

As their Loyalty increased, their attitude toward Zhao Chi became more respectful and affectionate.

Inside and outside the territory—it was the difference between heaven and hell.

He opened the system.

Zhao Chi tried to teleport to Su Qin’s territory.

[Unable to teleport to Qingzhu Town at this time. Please try again later.]

He opened his contact list to reach Su Qin.

[Unable to contact Su Qin at this time. Please try again later.]

’Alright, just as I thought.’

It wasn’t just Su Qin; he couldn’t contact anyone in Snowfield City.

But he could still connect to Penglai Village. That was because Penglai Village never had its own connection point; its connection point was Peach Blossom Village.

’In that case, I’ll just focus on things here.’

’I have some time now, so I can get back to crafting.’

As of today, the population of Zhao Chi’s territory had reached 793. Apart from the Female Soldiers, the other Female Craftsmen no longer needed a full set of the special outfits.

After all, for the Female Craftsmen, only the Super High-Efficiency Shirt and Goddess Sleepwear were useful; High Heels and Silk Stockings were no longer necessary.

Although their Attributes were good, with the increasing number of Female Soldiers and the rise in their Equivalent Tier, their Combat Power had long since surpassed that of the Craftsmen.

The Female Craftsmen probably wouldn’t be needed on the battlefield anymore.

If they wanted to wear Silk Stockings and High Heels, he could have Feng Xiu and the other Female Tailors make Ordinary ones, also using the silk produced by Gu Qing.

This way, the Ordinary Silk Stockings would still be ultra-thin and just as comfortable to wear.

Moreover, they were very cheap and quick to make, with almost no cost.

Plus, since they were Ordinary clothes, the women could wear them more casually.

He didn’t have to worry about their Loyalty, either.

After all, the Goddess Sleepwear and Super High-Efficiency Shirts would still be distributed, so their Loyalty would remain extremely high.

There were still plenty of Silk Stockings in the inventory.

There were also enough High Heels and Shirts for the Female Soldiers.

However, he was running low on Goddess Sleepwear and High-Efficiency Shirts.

’I can use these few days to craft and distribute them.’

He entered Qi Yue’s Body.

And began crafting.

「Three days later, at 6:00 PM, they were about to reach Dark Night City.」

Along the way, they had encountered many merchant caravans and a few bandits.

Fortunately, they made it through without any real danger.

Relying on his formidable strength, Tie Shan had plowed straight through. No bandit dared to try and plunder them.

For his part, Zhao Chi had finished crafting all the outfits.

’It took a bit longer than I expected.’

After all, the standard crafting time for Super-Improved Silk Stockings was five hours, while a Shirt took seven, and Goddess Sleepwear took twenty-four.

So, he hadn’t produced a huge number of outfits.

Super High-Efficiency Shirts and 338 sets of Goddess Sleepwear.

’At least it’s enough to equip the women in the territory.’

Crafting outfits continuously for the past few days had used up all his Rare Materials. While making the Silk Stockings, he even had to open a few Self-Selected Material Treasure Chests.

By transferring data, the material Treasure Chests could yield 315 portions of Rare Materials.

Before, 315 portions had seemed like a lot, but now that he was crafting hundreds of outfits at a time, it didn’t feel like that much anymore.

’Still, it was basically free stuff, so it was pretty good.’

He was also down to just 336 Speeding Charms.

’Once I get to Dark Night City, I’ll need to restock everything.’
