Gu Qing heard what Zhao Chi said and agreed completely.
"That’s right. The safer the Lord is, the better. Lift your leg."
Zhao Chi lifted his leg to let her put on the Leather Leg Guards. "You’ve all put on your Silk Stockings, right?"
Gu Qing smiled. "Of course we have. They’re silky smooth, pretty, and practical. Everyone is very happy about it. Turn around, everyone. Quickly, thank the Lord."
The 20 Female Militia all turned around and said sweetly, "Thank you, Lord."
Zhao Chi was completely stunned.
He felt as if twenty little kittens were scratching at his heart. freēwebnovel.com
It was like he had walked into a shady club. frёewebnoѵēl.com
He quickly said, "Just speak in your normal voices. Don’t learn these things from Gu Qing. Gu Qing, don’t you be teaching them this kind of stuff all day."
Gu Qing smiled. "You misunderstand, Lord. This is just how they normally sound. Everyone’s just really happy, so they were speaking very gently. Right, Tang Ruan?"
Tang Ruan nodded. "That’s right, Lord."
Zhao Chi thought about it. ’That does seem to be the case.’
He looked at their legs again.
The Female Militia had on Leather Leg Guards and Leather Boots, so nothing could be seen at all.
Gu Qing said, "Everyone switch to fashion mode. Let the Lord get a good look at the Effect."
"Yes!"
The Female Militia answered in unison.
Instantly, the Equipment on the 20 Female Militia disappeared.
They all stood stark naked before him.
However, they used their Shields to cover the crucial parts.
All Zhao Chi could see were pairs of slender, smooth, pale legs.
On all twenty pairs of legs were light, transparent Silk Stockings, reflecting a delicate, lustrous sheen.
Zhao Chi quickly checked the Time.
It was past 9:50.
"Hurry up and switch back! An instructor might enter observation mode at 10 o’clock..."
Zhao Chi’s words died in his throat.
Because he saw that Gu Qing, beside him, was even more direct.
She wasn’t covering anything at all, quite generously letting Zhao Chi see the full picture.
’It’s a beautiful sight, but now is not the time.’
"Switch back, now!"
The Female Militia all switched back.
Gu Qing also giggled and switched back to equipment mode.
Tang Ruan asked with a slight blush, "Lord, are other people watching us?"
Zhao Chi checked the System.
No instructors had entered observation mode yet.
He let out a sigh of relief. "Yes. During the entire test, you all need to be careful. Especially you, Gu Qing. Stop stripping at the drop of a hat!"
"Yes!" the Female Militia answered earnestly.
"I know~" Gu Qing said softly.
Zhao Chi asked, "Has everyone eaten their fill?"
Gu Qing nodded. "We just ate. We’re all full, and we’ve been resting until now, conserving our Physical Strength."
"Good. Everyone, line up. I’m handing out Medicine next."
Medicine?
The women looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.
Zhao Chi opened the Self-Selected Medicine Treasure Chest.
The data had already been transferred last time, so he could use it directly this time.
[Please select 3 types of Medicine. You may select the same type multiple times.]
Zhao Chi chose Life Pill twice and Spiritual Power Pill once.
He clicked confirm.
[You have obtained the following items]:
[High Level Life Pill] ×100
[High Level Life Pill] ×100
[High Level Spiritual Power Pill] ×100
Instantly, three cloth sacks appeared in his System Space.
Each sack contained 100 grape-sized Pills.
Two sacks of red Pills were High Level Life Pills.
One sack of blue Pills was High Level Spiritual Power Pills.
"Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, these two sacks are both High Level Life Pills. Distribute them to everyone. Two for each of the Craftsmen, and three for each of the Militia."
"Whoa—"
All the women gasped in amazement.
Evidently, it was the first time they had ever seen such High Level Medicine, and it felt extremely premium.
Tang Ruan held the cloth sack with both hands and carefully went to distribute the Pills.
Gu Qing picked up a Pill and sniffed it. "Wow, what a strong medicinal smell. It’d be great if I could learn how to make these. Too bad the difficulty is too high; it would probably take a very long time to learn."
After speaking, she also picked up a sack of Pills and went to distribute them.
The Female Militia all carefully stored them away on their person.
There were 20 left over. Zhao Chi and Gu Qing each took 10.
Besides taking them themselves, they could also support others at any time.
"Gu Qing, here are 20 High Level Spiritual Power Pills for you."
Gu Qing said in surprise, "Lord, did you strike it rich out there? How is it all High Level Medicine? It’s so high-grade, I can’t even bear to eat it."
Zhao Chi smiled. "I got them all from opening Treasure Chests. Just eat them, don’t try to save them. I still have 80 here. If it’s not enough, I’ll give you more."
Gu Qing nodded. "This is more than enough. Now I can use my Healing Spiritual Skill with more confidence."
At this moment, a notification came from the System:
[Chief Instructor Zhang Shouning has entered reconnaissance mode.]
’They’re here!’
Zhao Chi clearly felt a gaze fall upon him.
He looked up, but still saw nothing but blue sky and white clouds.
Zhang Shouning was the Chief Instructor of Class 10 and was also responsible for overseeing Zhao Chi this time.
[Grand Instructor Saint Monarch You, Chief Instructor Li Ruanyu, and Instructor Song Ping have entered reconnaissance mode.]
[Chief Instructor Yue Chong, Instructor Yue Rong, and Instructor Xiao Ma have entered reconnaissance mode.]
Soon, the other six instructors had all arrived.
Several more gazes shot down, making Zhao Chi feel a little awkward.
The time was now 10:00, with half an hour to go.
A notification came from the System:
[The first wave of Magical Beasts will be teleported in 30 minutes. Teleportation point: Northern Wall of Fog [Coordinates]]
The notification also provided coordinates.
There were now two battle plans.
One was to take the initiative and attack; the other was to defend and counter-attack.
Speaking of prudence, defending and counter-attacking was definitely the safest option.
After all, there were five defense towers within the territory, and it was very safe to stand on top of them.
However, in this test, the time taken to kill enemies was also a factor in calculating the score.
Killing them faster meant a higher score.
Therefore, it was best to deal with the first few waves of weaker enemies as quickly as possible.
Moreover, there was only a 30-minute window to deal with each wave.
If the enemies wandered around the territory, it was very possible they wouldn’t be found in time, causing the test to end.
’It’s probably best to attack proactively.’
"Everyone, bring all the tools as backups and bring all the ropes. Follow me to the north."
"What are the ropes and tools for? Do we need to do some impromptu construction?" Gu Qing asked.
"No, we might need to take prisoners."
"Aren’t we going for a quick kill?"
Zhao Chi said, "Capturing prisoners gives extra points, so it doesn’t matter if we’re a bit slower. Plus, there’s another benefit: the prisoners will be all ours, and we can sell them for money later."
Taking prisoners, of course, was more difficult than simply killing them.
It was also more dangerous and more troublesome.
So it was only natural that it would be worth more points.
Capturing enemies was a guaranteed profit.
The last Goblin was worth at least 2 Gold Coins.
If they captured some this time, they’d be worth at least 5 Gold Coins. If they did well, they could get prisoners worth more than 10 Gold Coins, and he could pay back his loan.
Gu Qing nodded. "I get it now. Everyone, grab your ropes and follow the Lord."
The coordinates weren’t far.
Zhao Chi maintained a medium pace, arriving at the edge of the northern Wall of Fog at 10:25.
"It’s just ahead. Everyone get ready, the enemies will appear in five minutes."
"Yes!"
The 20 Female Militia were ready and could draw their Guns at any moment.
The 60 Female Craftsmen were also prepared. Although they were support, they could still contribute.
Countdown: one minute.
Countdown: 30 seconds.
Countdown: 3... 2... 1...
[First wave, begin!]
"All units, brace yourselves! The enemy... is here!"
