294: Chapter 294: Truly Envious 294: Chapter 294: Truly Envious “Pack up your things, we are heading to the Human Camp to meet with them next.” Suddenly, Xi Fei hesitated and spoke, “Master, may I request something of you?” “What is it, just say it outright, no need for requests,” Zhao Guang was somewhat surprised, as it was the first time Xi Fei had ever initiated a request herself, and he was curious what it might be. “It’s just, this house—can we take it with us too?” “The house, this prefab house?” Zhao Guang was somewhat surprised, as he had never considered this before. In his view, it was just a prefab house; taking it along was too troublesome and it would be better to simply build a new one later. In any case, to Zhao Guang, it was not valuable anymore, and he had plenty in his possession. Besides the ones he had previously sold to the Beastmen, he always kept a stock. “Yes, Master, Jeana also doesn’t want to give up this house.” The two of them looked at Zhao Guang with eyes that seemed as pitiable as abandoned kittens. “This house was the first one Yi Fei lived in, she really does not want to abandon it.” Zhao Guang nodded, “Understood, the things filled with memories are hard to let go of. Let’s take it with us then, let’s start by dismantling the pipes, but we’re not taking those.” The pipes were all buried under the concrete, impossible to take with them. The two nodded vigorously, Jeana’s tail behind her waving like a windmill. The prefab house, which Zhao Guang deemed insignificant, in their eyes was not only a home full of memories but also a very valuable house. If left here, it would certainly be occupied by others. The three quickly dismantled the pipes, and then Zhao Guang did not dismantle the prefab house, but instead waved his hand and stored it straight into his Space Ring. Fortunately, his Red Dragon’s Eye Ring had a large space, otherwise it would not fit. Even though it enclosed a small house, in the ring’s space, it only occupied a corner. “Let’s go, we probably won’t come back here again.” Zhao Guang glanced at the place where he had struggled for months and then left without looking back. Next, a fresh chapter awaited him. However, the two young girls seemed somewhat reluctant, occasionally looking back. It was only upon reaching the Human Camp that the two girls began to act a bit restrained, following behind Zhao Guang. It couldn’t be helped, the soldiers around were staring at the two of them. Though some soldiers looked at them with keen interest, most were watchful and rejecting. Even if Xi Fei became appealing in their aesthetic sense, as soon as they overcame the inherent charm, everyone remained very vigilant. “What are you all doing, disperse, don’t you know those are Lord Zhao Guang’s slaves?” Upon hearing the officer’s command, the crowd dispersed, their perception of Zhao Guang was very favorable. He not only fit in with them well but also brought them tangible benefits. From his background, he had risen from a common merchant to nobility, truly an inspirational figure for the commoners. Although they knew they could not walk the same path themselves, it did not prevent them from admiring him. Although both women were from the enemy camp, since they were slaves, there was no need to be cautious. After all, even they would want such slaves, wouldn’t they? Many laughed to themselves heartily. He had walked all the way to Yars’s house when Klay finally came over from the side. “Lord, dress your two slaves in these,” he said. In Klay’s hands was a tray holding two garments. No, they were more like complete coverings, capable of enveloping someone from head to toe, making it unclear who was inside. “You should hurry up and put these on them, or else the trouble will only get bigger,” Klay added. Zhao Guang nodded, “There’s no way around it, beauties always attract more attention.” He nodded for the two to don the cloaks. Their clothes were a bit too eye-catching. The outfits might look nice, but they were styled like those from Earth, which clearly clashed with the local fashion. Zhao Guang was unsure if the locals would accept this style, but at least for now, it might be prudent to avoid trouble. “You really do make one envious,” Yars said to Zhao Guang. “Given your status and position, finding such slaves shouldn’t be difficult, even noblewomen could be easy to come by,” Zhao Guang replied nonchalantly. After all, Yars was an earl. His family was quite wealthy now, and he could find anyone he wanted if he so wished. “Do you think I’m that shallow? I’m not talking about women,” Yars said. Zhao Guang was surprised, “Then what are you talking about?” What else about him could be enviable? His own strength was not as great as that of Yars, who was an advanced warrior. Even if he had some extraordinary skills, if it really came to a fight, he definitely couldn’t match Yars despite using all his methods. Could it be the Space Gate? Zhao Guang grew cautiously alert internally. Yars pointed at Zhao Guang’s arm and said, “That must be the Octagonal Soft Worm, right? I didn’t expect you could get one. I heard that the Beastmen never sell Octagonal Soft Worms to outsiders.” Zhao Guang heaved a sigh of relief internally; so it was about the Octagonal Soft Worm. However, he dared not mention the matter of the blue pills, as being restricted would be problematic. “I have some connections on the side of the Beastmen, and it was quite difficult to obtain it, but they made me sign a contract with tons of clauses that specify it can only be used for practicing my Lifebound Battle Skill.” Zhao Guang had not finished speaking when Yars waved his hand dismissively, “No need to say more, I know these; the Beastmen are just petty.” Petty? I didn’t notice at all, Zhao Guang thought prudently and chose not to respond. “I heard you’ve custom-designed a powerful regenerative Lifebound Battle Skill, a very nice thing that, paired with the Octagonal Soft Worm, is definitely a top-tier Battle Skill. If you’re willing to join the military, I can reserve a good position for you.” “I’ll pass on the military for now, we’ll see how things go,” Zhao Guang replied. Yars didn’t pursue further, but if he could entice Zhao Guang, their military’s strength would undoubtedly greatly increase. Last time, the telescope had attracted the attention of many in the military. After all, if it were just the tricycles, one could claim it was a mere trick, but the telescope was something they had tried to replicate unsuccessfully. Even the alchemists, theoretically crafting the same devices, struggled to make them effective. After all, they didn’t truly understand the essence of optics, and forcibly enhancing them with magic increased the costs significantly. Considering how cheaply Zhao Guang sold them, how could the military not be interested?
