Zhao Fu first went to the Orc City . Before the Ghost Festival had officially started, he had sent messages requesting to trade for Ghost Crystals . After their cooperation during the Ten Thousand Flower Festival, both sides quickly came to an agreement .
Now, Zhao Fu went to the Orc City to see how many Ghost Crystals they had gained in one night .
Zhao Fu came to the city gates and took out Gunador’s command medallion . Following this, an Orc soldier took Zhao Fu to Gunador’s tent .
Apart from Gunador, the well-built Orc, Bodili, was also there . Despite not seeing them for a few months, they looked more or less the same .
However, as soon as Zhao Fu walked in, Bodili’s expression became serious, and he didn’t look as condescending as before . When Zhao Fu walked in, he could feel a very dangerous aura – compared to when Zhao Fu had first visited the Orc City, he had become much more powerful .
“Long time no see, respected Vice-Lord!” Zhao Fu said as he smiled and cupped his hands .
Gunador smiled, stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, “Indeed, it has been a while . Come, esteemed guest, please sit!”
Zhao Fu sat down on a furry rug and casually chatted with Gunador for a while before asking, “Respected Vice-Lord, how many Ghost Crystals has the city obtained?”Gunador smiled and waved his hand, and a mountain of Ghost Crystals appeared before Zhao Fu – there were around 50,000-60,000 in total . Seeing this, Zhao Fu felt somewhat disappointed because Great Qin had obtained 160,000 or so, while the Orc City had only obtained 50,000-60,000 .
However, Zhao Fu knew that the only reason he had been able to obtain so many was because he had used the Allmonster Warding Talisman and the Reversal Talisman together . The Ghost Festival wasn’t something that everyone could participate in, so he couldn’t use the Orc City’s superiority in numbers to gain as large of an advantage .
After thinking about that, Zhao Fu could understand why the Orc City hadn’t obtained as many Ghost Crystals as he had expected . The main cities most likely hadn’t obtained many Ghost Crystals either, and he prepared to take out some food to trade .
Because of Zhao Fu’s cloak, Gunador couldn’t see Zhao Fu’s disappointed expression, and he thought that Zhao Fu was very pleased . After all, it had taken him a lot of effort to obtain these Ghost Crystals .
At that moment, Gunador smiled as he said, “Esteemed guest, we have enough food, but our warriors’ weapons are too crude . I wonder if esteemed guest has any equipment to trade . If I remember correctly, esteemed guest should have quite a lot of equipment . ”

Last time, during the Ten Thousand Flower Festival, the Orc City had already received a large amount of food from Zhao Fu, so they didn’t lack food anymore . Now, what they lacked was equipment . The Orcs weren’t good at forging, and even if they had exquisite materials, they wouldn’t be able to create good equipment . As such, all of their equipment was quite crude, which was why they wanted to trade Ghost Crystals for equipment .
Zhao Fu understood what Gunador was thinking, but a serious expression appeared on his face . When Zhao Fu gave them food, it wouldn’t affect their battle strength . However, if he gave them equipment, he would be increasing their overall strength .
Zhao Fu naturally didn’t want the Orcs to become too powerful – even though they had friendly relations right now, everyone knew that they were only using each other . If this Orc City discovered Great Qin, they wouldn’t hesitate to attack and conquer it without any mercy . This wasn’t a true friendship at all .
At the same time, if Great Qin wanted to quickly develop, they would have to stand against the Orc City sooner or later, and they would have to fight . This was something that was unavoidable . Right now, if he gave them equipment, he would be making his future more difficult .
Zhao Fu decided that he had to think hard about this . Of course, he couldn’t directly refuse, as he still needed them to provide Ghost Crystals . Relations were still good, so they could maintain this partnership for a while .
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Fu took out some ordinary equipment and some good equipment and traded for the Ghost Crystals . After going back, he would think about this issue more .
Seeing the equipment Zhao Fu took out, Gunador had a pleased smile on his face and completed the transaction with Zhao Fu . Afterward, Zhao Fu took the Ghost Crystals and left .
After Zhao Fu had left for a while, Bodili, who had been staring at Zhao Fu the entire time, finally said, “That human has become so powerful!”

Hearing this, Gunador was quite surprised, and a deep look appeared within his eyes .
Elsewhere, Zhao Fu used a teleportation channel to go to Mountain Willow Town in East Green . They had only gathered 5,000 or so Ghost Crystals, but because Zhao Fu hadn’t expected much from them, he wasn’t too disappointed .
Zhao Fu didn’t want to relocate Mountain Willow Town because there was a historical remnant in East Green, and it wouldn’t be easy to bring so many people over . In the future, Mountain Willow Town would be the foundation for Great Qin’s expansion into East Green .
Just as Zhao Fu was about to leave, he heard someone call out to him .
“Wait, Your Majesty!” Liu Subai suddenly ran over to Zhao Fu’s side .
When he heard this, Zhao Fu stopped and looked over curiously as he asked, “What is it, Subai?”
After interacting with Zhao Fu for a while, Liu Subai had become quite familiar with him and no longer found him as terrifying . Instead, she found him easy to get along with, and they had grown closer, though it was Liu Subai taking most of the initiative .

Liu Subai handed Zhao Fu a black ore that had a faint glimmer and looked a lot like iron ore .
Shattersteel Iron: A type of special ore that can increase a weapon’s sharpness . If two weapons with Shattersteel Iron clash, the weapon with less Shattersteel Iron will immediately shatter .
Seeing this, Zhao Fu couldn’t help but start laughing loudly – this was the best material for plotting against others! He had just been worrying about the Orc problem, but this was the perfect solution .
If he gave the Orc City weapons made of Shattersteel Iron and fought against them with weapons containing more Shattersteel Iron, the battle would definitely be very glorious .
“What are you laughing about, Your Majesty? Is this Shattersteel Iron useful to you?” Liu Subai smiled as she watched Zhao Fu laugh .
“Yes, this ore is very important for my future plans . You’ve made a great contribution,” Zhao Fu said as he praised Liu Subai .
“Hehe, how are you going to reward me then, Your Majesty?” Liu Subai sweetly smiled as she looked at Zhao Fu expectantly .
When he heard this, Zhao Fu thought for a moment . He didn’t have anything of value on him, so he asked Liu Subai what she wanted . Liu Subai thought before replying, “Your Majesty, I want to go to Great Qin to look around . ”
This wasn’t a big deal, so Zhao Fu nodded and accepted . Afterward, Zhao Fu went to various main cities and spent a lot of money to buy a countless number of items . These items were all very important to Great Qin for the coming night .
Zhao Fu felt that there would definitely be many times more Ghosts tonight than the previous night . After all, he had activated the Reversal Talisman at 3 AM the previous night, so they had only fought with the Ghosts for 4 hours . Tonight, they would fight with the Ghosts for more than 10 hours, so the battle would definitely be more intense and dangerous .
