The two of them were snuggled together, chatting.

Suddenly, Gu Qing fell silent.

He looked down and saw she had already fallen quietly asleep.

Her long eyelashes fluttered from time to time, her expression peaceful.

Zhao Chi’s hand stopped.

He wasn’t sure if he should continue.

’But,’ he thought, ’she fell asleep like this, so it probably doesn’t bother her.’

Besides, Gu Qing really liked it.

So, Zhao Chi continued.

In truth, Zhao Chi was also very tired.

But for some reason, he couldn’t fall asleep.

Perhaps it was the mix of nervousness and excitement acting up.

After all, he had just killed an enemy Lord. This was a huge step for him.

He hadn’t wanted it to come to this, but he’d had no choice but to kill.

The system had sent the settlement information long ago.

Zhao Chi clicked to view it:

[Congratulations, you are victorious!]

[Loot List]

[Losses List]

[Congratulations, you have reached Level 12 and received 2 Enhancement Points.]

’The experience gain this time is insane.’

The difficulty determined by the system was "Extremely Hard"... and it really had been.

The fight hadn’t been easy at all.

After all, the enemy had 400 soldiers, while he only had 50. The remaining 170 were actually just villagers.

Plus, the enemy was fully equipped with Black Iron Armor, while his side only had Leather Armor.

With that kind of disparity, of course the difficulty was "Extremely Hard."

The greatest contributor to this battle’s success was Tang Ruan.

By a stroke of luck, she had tied down the enemy’s strongest combatants for a long time: the Lord Zhao Ji, and the Hero Li Yan.

This bought Zhao Chi and Gu Qing the time they needed to perfectly execute their battle plan.

The Female Soldiers who struggled to hold the central battlefield were also major contributors.

With their small frames, they held back the enemy’s main force head-on, which was a crucial part of the victory.

You could call this battle a tactical victory.

You could call it a victory of luck.

You could also call it a victory for the individual abilities of Tang Ruan, Gu Qing, and the others.

But at its core, it was a victory of perseverance born from being Fearless.

The Combat Performance and Battle Result were both highly rated, resulting in a combined Experience Bonus of a massive 340%.

It allowed Zhao Chi to level up twice in a row.

He checked the levels of the others. Tang Ruan had leveled up three times, reaching Level 13, making her the highest-leveled person in Zhao Chi’s territory.

That was only to be expected.

Gu Qing and the others all rose 2 levels, and some of the lower-level Female Soldiers even rose 3 levels.

It was all very good.

However, they had also suffered 40 losses this time, most of whom had died on the central battlefield.

The unit Gu Qing led had no losses. After all, she had dual Healing Skills and could help them recover at any time.

The units led by Zhao Chi and Qi Yue had 3 casualties.

After all, it was close-quarters, one-on-one combat. Those Blood Race Soldiers were very strong; emerging unscathed was nearly impossible.

The loot list was very long.

The losses list was a bit shorter.

Zhao Chi first clicked to view the lost Supplies.

[Losses List]

Iron Spear 30

Iron Saber 45

Iron Shield 95

Wooden Spear 220

Leather Armor Set 145

Basic Pill 225

High Level Pill 88

Super-Improved Silk Stockings 55

Super-Improved Shirt 90

The losses were considerable.

’This is all money...’

The loss of Iron Sabers and Iron Spears was due to the Female Soldiers desperately hacking away until the weapons’ durability ran out.

The Iron Shields and Leather Armor were all destroyed by the enemy.

Even the fashion items were ruined by the enemy.

The Pills were also completely used up, not a single one was left.

The total losses were truly substantial.

Putting aside the Equipment and Medicine, just look at the 145 pieces of Super-Improved Fashion.

These fashion items were all of standard Quality.

The previous rough-quality ones could sell for 2 Gold Coins, so these standard-quality ones should be worth nearly 3 Gold Coins, if not more.

Just the fashion items alone were worth almost 400 Gold Coins.

’No wonder they say war burns through money...’

’It really does burn money.’

Even if you didn’t calculate it by sale price, but by cost price...

...that was still the cost of 145 portions of Rare Materials, plus labor fees and the cost of time.

If they were made using a Speeding Charm, you’d also have to add the cost of the charm and the cost of the medicine consumed.

In total, the cost would be close to 100 Gold Coins at a minimum.

Even calculating by cost, it was expensive.

Although his heart ached for the loss, Zhao Chi didn’t feel it was a pity.

He didn’t feel it was a loss, either.

On the contrary, he felt it was well worth it.

Thankfully, the Female Soldiers were wearing a Full Set of Fashion this time, which provided an extra 100% Defense.

Otherwise, the Female Soldiers in the middle probably wouldn’t have been able to hold out.

The Battle Result might have been different.

The Medicine was all gone now.

Medicine is vital.

Both production and combat depend on it.

He hadn’t built a pharmacy in his territory yet, so for now, he could only buy it.

Even if it meant paying taxes, he had to buy it.

After reviewing the losses list, it was time for the loot list.

It was truly a lot.

There really was a lot of loot.

After seeing this loot list, Zhao Chi felt that the losses from before were nothing at all.

A drop in the bucket.

The loot this time made Zhao Chi’s eyes glaze over.

The pressure from his hand unconsciously increased.

Making Gu Qing whimper.

Among the resources, the basic ones were all carried out by the humans from Zhao Ji’s territory.

It wasn’t much, but it was the thought that counted.

Zhao Chi still wasn’t sure if the thanks he had heard back then were genuine.

’But let’s just assume they were.’

These resources could be considered a thank-you gift for their liberation.

The Fur, Cloth, and Iron Ingots were valuable materials that Zhao Chi and his people had actively transported.

There really was a lot of fur.

One had to remember that when Zhao Chi first set up his territory, he only configured it to have 1,000 animals in total.

And among these animals were small creatures like pheasants and rabbits.

This time, they had directly seized 1,188 usable Furs. For Zhao Chi, this was a huge amount, and he wouldn’t have to worry about materials for making Leather Armor anytime soon.

There were 201 bolts of cloth, which wasn’t a small number either.

It could be used to make undergarments for the women.

It could also be used to make daily necessities like bedsheets and duvet covers.

Iron Ingots were a processed product.

They were made by smelting Iron Ore, which was then concentrated into ingots.

The process consumed a lot of fuel and created a lot of pollution.

Getting 552 ready-made Iron Ingots this time was excellent.

The Unidentified Meat and Suspicious Vegetables were also brought over by those humans.

Judging by the names, Zhao Chi definitely wasn’t going to eat them.

He would distribute them to the Naga to eat later.

In total, they seized 798 portions of various Rare Materials.

There were more than ten different types, but the most common ones made up the bulk of it.

These 798 portions of materials were quite valuable.

Zhao Chi estimated they were probably worth 200 Gold Coins.

And that was the black market price.

It could be said that the loot from the Resource/Material class alone was enough to cover all of Zhao Chi’s losses.

Everything else was pure profit.

They had seized a lot of Equipment this time.

This included items obtained from Zhao Ji’s storehouse, as well as those looted from enemies on the battlefield.

Among them, the Jade Bone Longbow was Zuo Yuan’s longbow. It looked pure white and flawless.

It was truly worthy of the name "Jade Bone."

[Name]Jade Bone Longbow

[Quality]Good

[Durability]396/600

[Attack]30

[Range]150 meters

[Special]Physical Strength consumption reduced by 50%

The bows in this world were different from those in his original world.

Their ranges were different, too.

A bow’s Attack Power was clearly lower than that of other melee weapons.

Perhaps this world had some kind of adjustment for ranged weapons.

But this bow’s Attack was not low.

An effective range of 150 meters, with 30 Attack.

A standard-quality Iron Spear had 34 Attack.

In other words, each arrow had the power of a strike from an Iron Spear. That was already very strong.

An Ordinary person’s Life was around 100 points, so 3-4 arrows could kill them.

A shot to the head might be a one-hit kill.

Moreover, weapons always benefited from various bonuses.

Bow Skill could increase Damage, Government Affairs could also improve the Bow’s Attributes, and Martial Arts could boost the final damage.

After applying bonuses, killing an Ordinary person with a single arrow wouldn’t be difficult.

This Bow also had a Special Attribute.

It could save 50% of your Physical Strength.

Drawing a bow consumes a lot of Physical Strength, especially in the arms.

After shooting for a while, your arms would become sore.

Now, with this Effect, it was equivalent to doubling the amount of time one could shoot.

It was very practical.

And this bow’s Durability was also very high.

A full 600 points.

Although only 396 points remained, that was still very high.

A standard Iron Spear only had 200 Durability.

Its Durability was remarkably high.
