Chapter 395 - 297: Rapid Development (11)

Confirmed.

Gu Qing’s time was almost up.

"My Lord, there are only about ten seconds left. Let me try spraying some more silk on you."

"Okay."

Gu Qing sprayed silk again, and it stuck to Zhao Chi’s arm.

Zhao Chi took a closer look. It was a thick thread.

Soon, Gu Qing rapidly shrank.

Her two large lanterns became watermelons.

Zhao Chi laughed. "I still find you more pleasing to the eye like this."

Gu Qing smiled and pointed at the silk threads on his body. "Stop looking at me for a second and check if the silk has changed."

Indeed, there was a change.

The thick silk on Zhao Chi’s body had become thinner.

Gu Qing mused, "So, when the Doubling Technique’s time is up, any related items also return to their original state."

Zhao Chi nodded. "I understand. Even so, the Doubling Technique is still powerful enough. It truly is at an S+ Level."

"Yes, my Lord. It’s so strong."

"Mhm, with this Skill, I’m more confident about the upcoming battle."

"That’s right. We’ll definitely succeed."

GROWL~

Suddenly, Zhao Chi’s stomach rumbled.

GROWL~

Gu Qing’s stomach rumbled too.

They had both just woken up and hadn’t eaten breakfast yet.

After the energy Consumption from the Doubling Technique, they both felt extremely hungry.

"My Lord, let’s go eat. I’m going to drink 5 kilograms of milk today."

"Five kilograms? Can you drink all that?"

"Of course I can. It’s delicious and nutritious. I could drink it all day."

"...Don’t worry. Milk freedom will be realized soon."

"Hee hee, I know. That’s why I’m so happy."

"Actually, you can drink more now, too. I don’t really like it, so you can have my share."

"My Lord doesn’t like milk?"

"Mhm, not really."

"Then whose do you like to drink?"

"...Yours, alright?"

"Hee hee, okay~"

It had to be said, the Debuff from the Doubling Technique was very real.

Zhao Chi had an excellent appetite today. He polished off two plates of breakfast in just 2 minutes.

Gu Qing was even more exaggerated.

She just kept eating and eating, never stopping.

She wasn’t a picky eater, stuffing everything in her mouth—whether it tasted good or not—and chewing vigorously.

Zhao Chi finally understood that her saying she’d drink 5 kilograms of milk today wasn’t a challenge to herself, but a small reward.

Otherwise, drinking 10 kilograms would likely be no problem for her at all.

After Zhao Chi was full, he just watched her eat.

It was like watching one of those eating livestreams.

The difference was, watching Gu Qing eat was also a kind of pleasure.

She ate very happily.

Joyfully, she took bite after bite, and watching her was enough to lift one’s Mood.

Coupled with her stunning looks, if she were to actually become a streamer, she would definitely become popular in no time.

Unfortunately, such things didn’t exist in this world.

So, Zhao Chi was the only one who could enjoy the sight.

But good times are always fleeting.

The battle was about to begin.

A mandatory announcement sounded in his ears:

[Ahem...]

[Attention, all members of Stream Village. This is Muchang Ning.]

[All Lords, get ready. The battle is expected to begin in 2 hours, at 9 o’clock.]

[The target of this operation is confidential, but what I can tell you is that there are a total of 352 enemy Lords.]

[82 Village Level, 173 Town Level, 87 County Level, 9 County Level, and 1 State Level.]

[The State Level one will be handled by us, the great Lords of the Holy Race. The rest are left to you Lords.]

[You won’t have to travel there yourselves for this battle. Our Holy Race experts will activate an Array to teleport all of you.]

[This is Holy Race Efficiency!]

[You may have your prejudices against the Holy Race, but I believe that with time, you will all come to understand our good intentions.]

[Ultimately, you will all embrace the Holy Race.]

[This is my first time commanding a battle. I hope you will all show your true abilities.]

[Of course, I trust you will all give it your best. After all, being defeated by the enemy also means death.]

[After we achieve victory, I will select the 5 best-performing Lords to be rewarded.]

[A reward from the Holy Race is something you could only dream of. You should understand the weight that carries!]

[For the next 2 hours, finish your preparations. Figure out what else you need to get ready, and get it all ready for me!]

[Finally, it costs us to have our Holy Race experts teleport you all.]

[Everyone must pay a teleportation fee. I will send a group message to all of you shortly. Pay it as soon as possible.]

[If you have any problems, report to your respective families first.]

[That is all for now.]

The mandatory announcement cut off.

After listening, Zhao Chi immediately forwarded the entire message to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing put down her milk bottle and listened intently.

Their last opponents were Zhou Hua’s band of robbers from the Celestial King Army.

There were nearly 1,000 Lords.

Although there were many of them, they could be described as a disorderly mob.

Most of them were Town Lords, with a fair number of Village Lords as well. Their strength was poor.

There were only 36 at the County Level, and even fewer—just 2—at the County Level.

But this time...

There was actually 1 State Level Lord.

Fortunately, the Alien Race was going to deal with that one.

But there were still 9 County Level and 87 County Level Lords.

Several times more than last time!

The strength of these Lords was not low. Dealing with them might result in heavy losses again.

’However, there are also 20 Alien Race Lords. I wonder if all 20 of them will be dealing with the State Level Lord together, or if they’ll also split up to fight other enemy Lords?’

"My Lord, the Mass of the enemies is so high this time. Although the number is much smaller, their strength is a huge step up."

Gu Qing had also finished listening to the message.

"Yeah, but it’s fine. We’re still Village Lords, so we just have to fight the enemy Village Lords. I just wonder how many Lords the Zhao Family will lose this time."

"I don’t think we need to worry too much. My Lord, you told me before that this Xiao Ning wants to develop Stream Village into her own power base, right?"
