Chapter 528: Chapter 341: Heart Towards the Light (Part 5)

Zhao Chi asked, "Yang Xiong, you were just telling me you’ve gotten stronger?"

At his words, the mood immediately lifted.

Yang Xiong looked proud—or perhaps it was just confidence.

Even Cao Feng sat up a little straighter.

Yang Xiong grinned. "Haha, Zhao Chi, you have no idea. Not only did my family give me a ton of resources, but I also got a Racial Bloodline and a World Stone from destroying a territory. How badass is that?"

"For real?"

That was truly impressive—or at the very least, incredibly lucky.

To date, Zhao Chi had only managed to get 1 World Stone.

Racial Bloodlines from destroying territories were also incredibly rare.

"Of course it’s real! But I didn’t use the World Stone; I sold it. I’ve never seen so much money in my entire life, and it’s all under my own control!"

Yang Xiong, getting worked up, downed another cup.

"But I did get something good from the Racial Bloodline. Plus, all my Beastmen have had their Genes improved. Now, my Beastmen are incredibly strong in a head-on fight."

Yang Xiong didn’t specify what the Genes were.

And Zhao Chi didn’t ask.

This sort of thing was private. The fact that Yang Xiong was willing to say this much was already a show of his trust in Zhao Chi.

"Impressive." Zhao Chi gave him a thumbs-up.

"Don’t just say it with words. Your turn to drink." Yang Xiong poured him a drink.

Zhao Chi downed it in one go.

Lu Yi said, "Everyone’s had a lot to drink. Let’s slow down and have some more food."

Yang Xiong said, "What food? There’s none left. Wang Lie, go get some more dishes. And while you’re at it, bring back more drinks."

Wang Lie pointed at the floor. "More drinks? Isn’t there a whole bottle right at your feet?"

"This isn’t enough. Hurry up, they’re about to stop serving."

"I know, I know. What dishes do you want?"

"Whatever."

Cao Feng, who hadn’t spoken in a while, was trying to sit up straight, but he was swaying back and forth.

Lu Yi asked with concern, "Cao Feng, how are you doing? If you can’t handle it, let Li Xun take you back."

Cao Feng snorted. "Hmph, no need. I’m fine. I’ll just teleport back to my territory later."

Yang Xiong said, "Cao Feng’s gotten impressive too, you know. His Shadow Leopards are really strong in ambushes and raids."

Cao Feng grinned smugly. "Of course. And my Shadow Leopards are even stronger than before. Zhao Chi, let’s find some time... and fight... fight again."

He repeated himself.

Zhao Chi nodded. "Cao Feng, you should stop drinking. If even Yang Xiong says you’re impressive, then your Power must have truly improved by leaps and bounds. I believe it."

"Quick, give me a hand!" Wang Lie’s voice called out.

Everyone turned their heads.

Wang Lie was carefully walking over, balancing four plates of food in his hands with three bottles of liquor tucked under his arm.

Li Xun hurried over to take them.

Lu Yi frowned. "Wang Lie, why did you get so many more drinks? Wouldn’t one bottle have been enough?"

Wang Lie laughed. "It’s fine to drink a little more today. Zhao Chi is here, and on top of that, we had a huge victory. We have to celebrate!"

Li Xun chimed in to support him. "Exactly! Lu Yi, you have another glass, too. I’ll pour it for you."

"Oh, no, I’m not drinking anymore. My head is starting to hurt." Lu Yi reached for her glass, but Li Xun had already refilled it.

Yang Xiong said, "Cao Feng, that kid, got pretty lucky too. He got a useful Special Building out of a Silver Treasure Chest, and it’s a good fit for him."

Cao Feng could barely keep his eyes open, but hearing Yang Xiong’s words, he looked proudly at Zhao Chi. "Badass, right?"

Zhao Chi gave another thumbs-up. "Totally badass."

Cao Feng let out a laugh and poured another drink.

"What about you, Lu Yi? How are things on your end?" Zhao Chi asked.

Lu Yi had drunk the least, but even after just a few glasses, her face was flushed.

She looked like Qi Yue after feeding.

Lu Yi shook her head. "I haven’t been as lucky as them. I’m just slowly building up my strength. I have managed to gather a good number of Female Elves, though. My Combat Power can’t compare to theirs, but I’m much stronger than I used to be."

Yang Xiong said, "Lu Yi’s Technology is really strong. She also bought a group of High Level Blacksmiths who are skilled at making Bows. If you need to buy Bows, you should go to her."

Lu Yi smiled. "That’s right. My family bought me the Super Armor-Piercing Bow Technology. I can make Bows out of any Material. If you buy from me, I can give you a discount, but you’ll have to order in advance. My production can’t quite keep up with demand right now."

Zhao Chi was surprised. "Really? A Super Armor-Piercing Bow? That sounds impressive."

Lu Yi laughed. "That’s why I need High Level Blacksmiths to make them. Professionals are just so expensive. Those Blacksmiths completely wiped out my savings, and I even had to borrow money from my family. The family was already in debt, so this just made a bad situation worse. But as long as I can get production up and running, paying it back won’t be an issue. It’ll just take time."

Zhao Chi nodded. "Bows and Arrows generally have low Attack Power. If you can significantly increase their Armor-Piercing Ability, it would be a direct boost to their killing power. Impressive!"

Lu Yi beamed.

Li Xun asked, "But didn’t we get a ton of loot today? You should be able to pay back a good chunk of that, right?"

Cao Feng snorted. "What’s the rush to pay it back? It’s not like you owe that much. Prioritize your own development first."

Lu Yi smiled. "I still have to pay it back. I’ll pay off a portion first. After another three or four victories, I’ll have cleared my personal debt. Then I can help the family pay back what we owe the World-breaking Army."

Zhao Chi nodded silently.

’For an ordinary person, having a family is actually a great advantage.’

’Even though Lu Yi’s family had suffered a setback, they could still afford to buy her Super-Improvement Technology and lend her money.’

’They might be financially strapped now, but their future development would be swift.’

’A starved camel is still bigger than a horse, after all.’

’A fallen family was still a family.’

’Su Qin’s Race was also Female Elf.’

’But she had no backing. She was just a Vassal Lord of the Zhao Family. No one was buying Technology for her, and she couldn’t borrow large sums of money from the Zhao Family.’

’Her current assets weren’t much, but she had built them all herself through her own accumulation and development.’

’A woman like Su Qin, who maintained her integrity and refused to sell her charms, relying solely on her own Power to develop her territory, was bound to progress more slowly.’
