Chapter 535: Chapter 343: Heart Towards the Light (7)

"What do you think?"

Zhao Chi could tell Li Ruanyu was eager for him to join her team.

He had no interest in teammates of similar strength, but he valued Li Ruanyu’s authority.

The Zhao Family had just joined the World-breaking Army, so their privileges were certainly at a Basic level.

Li Ruanyu’s, however, would be much higher.

Besides, Zhao Shizhang had already agreed, so Zhao Chi naturally had no reason to stay with the Zhao Family’s team.

Zhao Chi nodded. "I’m fine with it, but why are you transferring Village Lords like me? Why not bring in some High Tier Lords?"

Li Ruanyu smiled. "I’m not short on high-tier fighters. I have plenty of experts on my team. What I lack is outstanding reserve talent. I’m transferring you over with the future in mind."

Zhao Chi asked, "I understand. I’m willing to join, but I have a few ideas, and I’d like to see if they’re feasible."

"It’s good that you have ideas. Go on, let’s hear them."

"First, can I not be assigned any teammates?"

"No teammates?" Li Ruanyu was a little surprised. "Zhao Chi, teammates are crucial. Relying on yourself is the foundation of everything, that’s true, but reliable teammates are indispensable. They can raise your combat ceiling and come to your rescue in time."

"I know, but I’m still in the early stages. I want to rely more on myself to handle enemies. Later on, when it’s necessary, I’ll consider fighting as part of a team."

Li Ruanyu shook her head. "No. You have to build rapport with teammates through repeated battles. If you wait until later to get teammates, it’ll be too late."

"Oh..."

"However, I can give you some time—about half a year, let’s say. You can develop on your own, but after that, you’ll have to return to team-based operations."

"That works!"

Zhao Chi readily agreed.

"I’m not finished!" Li Ruanyu shot him a glare. "Even though I’m letting you develop on your own, there are some team missions you must participate in. And your presence in wars is mandatory."

"Of course! No problem!"

Li Ruanyu gave a helpless smile. "Look how happy you are. Is that your only request?"

"Two more..."

"Out with it!"

"I want to know, are there any Spatial Rifts we can enter from here?"

"A Spatial Rift? You want to go to other cities?"

"Yes... I want to go take a look, check out the market, that sort of thing."

Li Ruanyu laughed. "You want to survey the market? What’s there for you to survey? What do you even have to sell?"

"I..."

After a moment’s thought, Zhao Chi mentioned the two Specialty Products from Su Qin’s territory.

"I can sell some Bamboo Wine and Bamboo Leaf Tea."

Li Ruanyu said doubtfully, "Neither of those two Specialty Products are considered particularly High Level, and your production volume can’t be that large, right? You could just sell them here in Jiaoya Town. There’s no need to go all the way to some other place to sell them."

Zhao Chi said helplessly, "Instructor, just tell me if I can or not."

Li Ruanyu said, "Why are you getting impatient? It’s possible. The cliff right next to Jiaoya Town is a Spatial Rift. But it’s very chaotic out there right now, full of bandits and Alien Race members. You definitely can’t go out on your own. You can only go with a merchant caravan."

"We have a caravan?"

Li Ruanyu frowned. "There’s definitely something up with you, kid. Why are you so eager to get out of here? Did you get into some trouble? Are you trying to flee and lie low?"

"Nothing like that!" Zhao Chi waved his hands repeatedly. "I just want to flip some goods."

"Ohh, I get it. You want to go sell Super Bright Kerosene?"

Zhao Chi was stunned. "How do you know about Super Bright Kerosene?"

’Zhao Chi wasn’t actually planning to sell Super Bright Kerosene. After all, the profit margin was low, and it wasn’t easy to transport. He wanted to go out and sell Silk Stockings. A large amount of raw material for the Silk Stockings had already piled up. Gu Qing drank large amounts of water every day, producing silk through urination. That’s why he had a massive supply of raw material for Silk Stockings. Plus, the Silk Stockings were thin and could be carried in his System Space, which was very convenient. That was his real goal.’

But he was still surprised that Li Ruanyu knew about the Super Bright Kerosene.

Li Ruanyu chuckled. "Heh, I spoke with Clan Leader Zhao last night. While we were discussing your transfer, he also told me about your recent activities, including the Super Bright Kerosene. But don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret for you."

’So that’s what happened.’

Li Ruanyu said, "If that’s the reason, then I understand. As long as you’re not on the run, it’s fine."

"Of course not..."

"Alright then. If you want to go sell Kerosene, you can travel with my merchant caravan. However, we only go to Dark Night City right now, twice a month. Would that work for you?"

"Dark Night City? That’s great! No problem, that works for me!"

’As long as he could get out, he didn’t care where he went.’

But hearing the city’s name still delighted him.

Zhao Chi knew of Dark Night City. It wasn’t a Human city, but a city of Dark Elves.

It was located southwest of Snowfield City, across the Sunset Mountain Range.

|————Snowfield City—————|

|——Sunset Mountain Range——|

|————Dark Night City—————|

That area had not yet been affected by the turmoil of war, so trade was stable.

This alone made it a much better option than Celestial Peak City and White Grass City, the places the Zhao Family’s caravan had intended to go.

It was worth noting, however, that the inside of Dark Night City was very chaotic.

Although it was a Dark Elf city, it was home to numerous Races, and the various factions were deeply entrenched, with extremely complex relationships.

Many fugitives were hiding out there, and the resistance army also had a stronghold in the city.

Previously, Zhao Chi would not have been willing to go there, much preferring a Human city.

But things were different now.

’As long as there was no war, the other problems weren’t a big deal.’

Li Ruanyu also emphasized, "Dark Night City isn’t a Human city like ours. When you get there, you must keep a low profile. You have to be willing to stomach a small loss now and then. Can you do that?"

"I understand. Don’t worry."

Li Ruanyu nodded. "Alright. And the last thing? What is it?"
