Chapter 539 - 345: Trade Route (1)

The women shrieked in the Carefree Spring.

Zhao Chi observed their bodies from the side.

This was the first time he’d seen them reborn, so Zhao Chi made a point to get closer and observe.

Soon, the women were all clean.

But they all remained soaking in the spring, reluctant to leave.

Gu Qing laughed. "Why are you all still dawdling in the water? You can soak in it every day from now on. Go eat first and get rid of your Newborn State. Go on!"

Tang Ruan said, "Come with me. We have cooks now, and they’re much better than I am. The chef Team Leader, Chu Shi, is especially skilled."

The 50 women were led away by Tang Ruan.

But Gu Qing held one of them back. "Xiaoxiao, you wait a moment. Let the Lord take a look at you."

"Look at me?"

"Yes. You’ve all just been reborn, and the Lord wants to see if your bodies have changed. Let the Lord examine you carefully. Don’t move."

"Oh, okay, Sister Gu."

Zhao Chi laughed. "Gu Qing, how did you know what I was thinking?"

"But of course." Gu Qing was a little smug. "Xiaoxiao, lie down on this stone platform."

The stone platform was warm and smooth, very comfortable to lie on.

"Oh, okay."

Xiaoxiao obediently lay down.

Then she smiled and greeted Zhao Chi.

"Hello, Xiaoxiao. Relax your body." Zhao Chi moved closer.

"Okay."

"I’m going to examine your body carefully. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me."

"It’s fine. Please, feel free to inspect me, Lord."

Xiaoxiao had 8 points of Loyalty and a good personality, which was why Gu Qing had specifically chosen her.

These women had died more than three weeks ago.

Afterward, the Peach Blossom Females underwent Genetic Improvements for Night Vision and Overload Weight.

All of these Genes were now present in their bodies.

They truly had brand-new bodies, but their memories and everything else were identical to before they died.

Zhao Chi didn’t know if this counted as a perfect resurrection, but from the looks of it, there were no problems.

He started with Xiaoxiao’s hair, moved to her head and neck, then the inside of her mouth, chest, back, arms, armpits, waist, abdomen, groin, legs, and feet.

He carefully inspected and felt every part of her.

Everything was fine.

At least, he couldn’t find any issues.

Zhao Chi could basically conclude that the Bone Gathering Resurrection was perfect.

"How is it, Lord?" Gu Qing asked softly.

"Yes, there are no problems. Everyone can rest easy."

Gu Qing smiled. "Everyone was already at ease. You’re the only one who overthinks it."

Zhao Chi nodded. "Alright, Xiaoxiao, you can go find Tang Ruan and the others for dinner. They’re over in the kitchen."

Xiaoxiao’s face was beet red from Zhao Chi’s examination, but she hadn’t moved a muscle or made a sound.

Only now did she get up, blushing. "Thank you for examining me, Lord, but... I need to go wash up again..."

Gu Qing laughed. "Go on, then. Wash up and then go eat."

"Okay, Sister Gu Qing. I’m leaving, Lord."

She darted back into the spring and began gently scrubbing herself with her hands.

Zhao Chi looked at his hands, which also had some slippery fluid on them, so he went to the Carefree Spring to wash them as well.

Another task completed.

Zhao Chi’s territory now had a total of 713 people.

There were 290 Female Soldiers, meaning the ratio of Soldiers exceeded 40%.

This ratio was a bit high, but it didn’t matter much since the territory was still at the Village Level.

After all, it was fine as long as the food supply could keep up.

After that, Zhao Chi once again drilled into Qi Yue’s body and truly began a period of frantic production.

During this time, Yang Xiong, Lu Yi, and the others sought out Zhao Chi a few times, wanting to go drinking again.

Zhao Chi went with them once more, and then everyone got busy with their own tasks.

「Four days later.」

8:10 AM.

Zhao Chi got up from Qi Yue’s soft embrace.

He had gone all out for the past four days, not stopping for a moment.

Even when passing on his Genetics to them at night, he would make it a quick battle, charging from the beginning right to the end.

It made them knit their delicate brows, and they would break down quickly.

Only Tang Ruan was overjoyed by it.

She loved it most when Zhao Chi was this ferocious.

Qi Yue, however, found it a bit much to handle. Every time, she would bend over first, murmuring for a good while. This way, Zhao Chi’s charges were shorter, and it was more bearable for her.

In these four days, he completed 28 production cycles.

He produced 3,227 pairs of Ultra-Thin and Super Smooth Silk Stockings.

A huge amount.

This was because the Quality and Durability of this batch of Silk Stockings had been lowered.

The Durability of the Silk Stockings worn by the Female Soldiers was 5+90, for a total of 95 points.

If not used in combat, even if worn daily, they would only lose 1 point per day and could be worn for 95 days.

But this batch of commercial Silk Stockings only had a Durability of 15 points.

However, this was still 200% more than the 5 Durability of the base Super-Improved Silk Stockings, which was quite a lot.

Furthermore, just like the ones he’d sold before, Zhao Chi made them at a coarse Quality.

Their Attributes were only 75% of the standard Quality, a significant downgrade from what the Female Soldiers wore, but they were still more than twice as strong as Ordinary Super-Improved Silk Stockings.

Lower Durability, lower Quality.

This kind of Silk Stocking could be produced quickly and consumed fewer materials.

That was why he could make 3,227 pairs in just four days.

However, he might not be able to sell them all.

If he couldn’t sell them all, it was fine; he could just sell them next time.

In any case, for most people, these were already super-powerful fashion items.

But now, the Rare Materials for the Silk Stockings had been used up and would need to be replenished.

Zhao Chi’s Sewing Skills and Silk Stocking Specialization were now very high.

[Name] Zhao Chi

[Skills] Sewing 111

[Specialization] Silk Stockings 53

Although he had been a Lord for less than two months, he already had the equivalent of over 11 years of sewing experience.

If Zhao Chi weren’t a Lord, he could have been a High Level Tailor.

His Silk Stocking Specialization was at 53 points, equivalent to over five years of experience making silk stockings.

He had produced 803 liters of Super Bright Kerosene, of which 3 liters were of good Quality.

This was a pleasant surprise.
