Chapter 914 - 535: Zong Shen: I’m Just Here to Take a Bath!

"The prices of these pieces of equipment are all based on a 10% discount from the same tier on the ."

"Additionally, the is about to undergo an upgrade."

"If anyone is interested in joining the corps, you can contact Jiang Yi..."

"I suggest everyone take this opportunity to barter!"

"That’s all, see you tomorrow."

Zong Shen waved his hand casually, putting all the follow-up matters onto Jiang Yi.

In a stable situation, having over a hundred corps members to assist her was enough to handle the scene.

Moreover, he conveniently advertised for the .

His words hinted at the important information that the corps was ready to be upgraded.

He laid the groundwork for the future development of the corps.

It’s important to know that there is a threshold for upgrading a corps.

And this threshold is not easy to surpass.

Even for other legion commanders, it is the same.

Currently, corps forces in the area are flourishing.

Especially after the rule 1.1 update, fifty or sixty corps sprung up overnight.

Adding in the established ones, there are seventy to eighty corps in the entire region.

Most of these legion commanders are the elite among the area’s lords.

A lord without real skills would not have the ambition or confidence to create a corps.

Of course, these legion commanders are just a glimpse of the strong among the area’s lords.

There are also quite a few elites taking a lone wolf approach or cuddling up to a bigger force like Jiang Yi.

Not to mention, Jiang Yi has the strength to establish her own base.

She can’t compare to Zong Shen, but compared to ordinary lords, she’s a definite big shot.

Zong Shen, having wrapped up these matters, planned to sit back and relax as a carefree manager.

In just ten minutes, the batch of equipment he left behind had already been mostly digested internally.

Zong Shen, eager to return, rode on Eagle and ascended away from there.

Besides wanting to deal with the batch of equipment, he intended more to spark further trade.

He aimed to strengthen the trade awareness among local lords.

With a gathering of a few thousand lords here, even bartering could form a large-scale simple market.

Given the number of participants, he might even discover some hidden gems.

But Zong Shen had no interest.

He was busy returning to the territory to sort through loot.

He had to arrange tasks for exploration while waiting for the Flame Demon Boss to respawn.

At 35°C, the subjects could return to their normal work.

They just needed to add a bit more time for rest.

Therefore, he wouldn’t have Jiang Yi look for good stuff on-site for him.

Jiang Yi might be a toolman, but she’s not foolish.

If she truly found something good, she’d definitely buy it for herself, not for Zong Shen.

In summary, Zong Shen left without the slightest regret.

He had left to "draw fire" in person.

Luna and the others had already returned to the territory smoothly.

Zong Shen rode on Eagle, taking seven or eight minutes to land safely on the open space outside the Lord’s Fortress.

Upon returning to the territory, the first thing he did was to call Marie, Luna, Doris, and Wenresa to ride on Eagle together and fly to the located south of the territory.

There was a sizable lake here.

The water quality was very clear.

He had Eagle land by the lake.

It was evident that the lake had shrunk a circle since the last time he saw it.

Shrinking towards the heart of the lake by nearly a hundred meters in range.

The banks of the lake were cracked and muddy.

Nearby, there were still Water Elements lingering.

Just the number had decreased significantly.

There were only five or six Water Elements every few hundred meters along the lake’s shore.

Last time when he and Jiang Yi explored , they wiped out quite a few Water Elements.

Subsequently, this place became a popular monster farming holy land for nearby lords.

Arcane Crystal Fragments hidden deep in the lake continued to gather Water Elements.

However, the gathering speed couldn’t keep up with the lords’ clearing speed.

This was quite a common situation.

Most lords have low exploration progress.

They could only cling to such opportunities tightly.

Marie and the others exchanged uncertain glances, not knowing why the lord brought them here.

Zong Shen himself didn’t utter a word, just choosing a spot without Water Elements.

In a swift motion, he stripped off all his equipment.

Wearing only linen underwear, he charged forward and leaped into the lake with a sprint.

"Splash!"

The water splashed around the area he landed.

"Splash, splash!"

Zong Shen’s head emerged from underwater.

He wiped his face with both hands.

"Refreshing!"

The water temperature was significantly lower compared to the outside air temperature.

This location had a higher concentration of Water Magic Elements than other places.

Otherwise, how could that Arcane Crystal Fragment continuously create Water Elements?

Soaking in the lake, Zong Shen felt completely invigorated.

He dived back into the water with a strong motion.

When he emerged again, he had already stripped off his linen underwear.

On the other hand, Marie looked at Luna.

Luna looked at Wenresa and Doris.

Nobody knew why the Lord had come here.

Ultimately, it was Gou Dadan Doris who took the initiative to step forward and asked at the water’s edge.

"My Lord, do you have a task for us here?"

Doris squatted by the water, stirring the clear lake water with her hand.

Zong Shen was floating naturally in a backstroke position five or six meters away.

His leisure seemed slightly provoking.

Hearing Doris’s question, Zong Shen slightly raised his neck.

"I have some tasks to assign to you."

"But it doesn’t have much to do with this place."

"I just wanted to enjoy the cool here and take a bath."

"Besides, it’s not far from our territory..."

Luna: ...

Doris: ...

Wenresa: ...

Marie: ...

After hearing his reason, the women fell into silence.

They were speechless at this example of extreme laziness.

Zong Shen seemed to be getting more mischievous!
