Zhao Chi

Biodata

Power Progression

• Junior Lord remains a prospective promotion, dependent on completing the Academy’s tests; it is not attained in the supplied chapters 38 42.
• His planned enhancement route prioritizes Health, defense, and resistance. Enhancement points improve secondary attributes, not the four base attributes 23 24.

Background / History

Zhao Chi transmigrated into this world two years before his talent awakening, following a magical-beast invasion that killed the original Zhao Chi’s parents, gravely injured him, and destroyed the family home. His clan chief helped build a small wooden cabin on the outskirts of Snowfield City. Zhao Chi used the severe head injury to explain his unfamiliarity with the world and occasional unusual behavior 7.

His small clan paid for his housing, tuition, and part of his living expenses. Although some members gossiped about supporting him, he remained grateful and intended to repay the clan twofold once he could earn money 11.

Initially, his lack of local common knowledge caused repeated examination failures. With help from Li Ruanyu and Lu Yi, he spent two years catching up on the Academy’s coursework. He chose study and training over part-time employment, even when that meant poor meals, few clothes, and little social life 7 17 27.

Appearance

• Handsome features: his system profile gives him an Appearance score of 5 21.
• Average male build: he is considerably taller and larger than the women initially living in his territory 45.
• Simple clothing: he owns only a few changes of clothes and is willing to wear the same sets throughout the year 4 17.

Personality

Zhao Chi is pragmatic about both money and power. While choosing a starting hero, he is strongly attracted to the Elf and Succubus candidates but judges the Female Medical Officer’s healing more valuable for early survival. He likewise prioritizes immediate production over long-term artisan training when developing his village 5 6 42.

He usually treats insults as a waste of time, comparing life in his new world to a game and dismissing hostile classmates as though they were NPCs. He is nevertheless willing to retaliate verbally, as shown when he mocks Cao Feng after the costly Troll battle 17 27 29.

He is protective of his allied women and explicitly considers their feelings and willingness rather than treating lordship as permission to disregard them. He also welcomes competent initiative: when Gu Qing worries that she has challenged his authority, he gives her performance full marks instead of demanding the spotlight 18 40 41.

His leniency does not extend to enemy Goblins. He regards them as unreliable captives, uses food and punishment to compel labor, and plans to sell them once they are no longer needed 38 43 44.

Abilities & Skills

Transplant Flowers, Connect Jade

An S+ hidden talent that transfers compatible information or attributes between available targets. Eligible options glow gold, providing Zhao Chi with a visible cue that a transfer is possible 1 2.

Limits and hazards:

• Transfers have conditions, restrictions, and success rates. His first talent-data transfer specifically receives lifted restrictions and a 100% success rate 2.
• He cannot transfer stats between Gu Qing and Tang Ruan when he tests the ability 20.
• Attempts to activate it on building choices and artisan enhancement options also fail 39 42.
• He can change the stocking modification configuration data, but cannot increase its total of ten modification points 49.
• Transferring the Elf’s age to the Female Medical Officer reduces the latter to dry bones; reversing the transfer restores the heroes 6.

Female Scholar

His selected C-rank, upgradable starting talent strengthens skills used on female allies and rewards high Appearance scores 2.

• The talent’s female-target benefits require races with eligible female members; they are not universally applicable to every race 2.
• Zhao Chi designs the beautiful, female-only Peach Haven Humans to take advantage of this talent 14.
• The demonstrated calculation for Tang Ruan uses a 55% effectiveness bonus from her Appearance score of 7 and the female-ally bonus 22.

Inspire

A morale-raising skill costing 10 spiritual energy for a base 10% morale increase 21.

• With Female Scholar applied to Tang Ruan, its morale increase reaches 15.5% 22.
• He uses it before the Goblin ambush to overcome her fear while she is weakened by her newborn state 21 22.

Combat and Tactical Knowledge

• Saber proficiency 10; shield proficiency 10: both are recorded in his personal profile 21.
• Ambush planning: uses Tang Ruan as bait, conceals himself in the grass, and attacks the distracted Goblins from behind 22.
• Close combat: kills two Goblins with his machete, avoids spear attacks, and restrains the fleeing survivor after Tang Ruan wounds it 22.
• Race assessment: identifies the Trolls threatening Lu Yi as young agility types and recommends poison rather than a direct clash 27.
• Physical limitation: despite training all four base attributes to 5, he cannot match his enhanced villagers’ running speed or stamina 21 31 32.

Territory Management

• Delegates temporary command, supplies, and household organization to Gu Qing 16 38.
• Recognizes Tang Ruan’s Constitution of 8 and Strength of 7 as suitable for a damage-absorbing frontline role 29.
• Changes Li Zhu, Ding Dang, and Feng Xiu into beginner artisans and prioritizes efficiency to accelerate early production 42 43.
• Assigns the two captured village dogs to guarding, hunting, and tracking duties 38 40.

Territory and Creations

Peach Spring Village

Zhao Chi’s starting territory is a small village under the supervision of the Lord Academy in Snowfield City. It initially covers 10 square kilometers, contains one wooden lord’s residence, and lists Zhao Chi as its sole resident before the starting race is configured 10.

• Name origin: inspired by the Record of the Peach Blossom Spring. Zhao Chi hopes to return to his original world as the story’s fisherman returns home 10.
• Transport restrictions: goods crossing between the territory and the greater world must be registered and taxed. Snowfield City permits lord teleportation only at designated locations, including home and the Academy 17 18.

Peach Haven Humans

A Human subspecies Zhao Chi creates by transferring racial information from the other starting-race options 13 14.

• Newborn villagers initially have weakened attributes and need food to recover, requiring Zhao Chi to reassess how his custom race functions 19.
• Their superior baseline attributes make Zhao Chi physically weaker than his own initial subjects 31.

Ultra-Silky Type Stocking Technology

• Source: a basic Stocking Fashion Modification Book acquired in exchange for 21 Goblins 47 50.
• Configuration: five instances of Defense +10%, producing Defense +50% 50.
• Mechanism: increased silkiness allows the stockings to deflect enemy attacks 50.
• Production limit: the village has the upgrade technology but lacks stocking-manufacturing technology. Zhao Chi still needs finished stockings or a production blueprint 50.
• Intended use: equip Gu Qing and the future female soldiers before the Academy’s assessment, with limited sales considered as a source of income 50.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Machete / firewood saber — carried while searching for the villagers and used in his first Goblin battle 18 22.
• System Space — one cubic meter of storage, used for food, clothes, coins, treasure rewards, and the Body Driving Skill Book 4 37 38.
• Small World Stone — received from the Academy and activated to establish his territory 3 8.
• Random Female Heroic Soul — presents three female hero candidates, from which he chooses and modifies the Female Medical Officer 3 4 6.
• Lord’s Toolbox — contains tools, ropes, needles and thread, iron cookware, and flint; several tools double as early defensive weapons 15 16.
• Starter treasure rewards — include healing supplies, a Rapid Construction Talisman, and a Flame Curse Talisman usable without spending spiritual power 37.
• Body Driving Skill Book — describes a dark-type spiritual art costing 10 spiritual power to control a target’s body for ten minutes. Zhao Chi stores it rather than learning or using it at his current Trainee Lord rank 37 38.
  • Normally used on soulless targets. Using it on a Human requires absolute mutual trust to avoid tearing apart both souls 37.

Relationships

• Gu Qing — starting hero and principal assistant. Zhao Chi combines other heroes’ traits into her Medical Officer base, entrusts her with the territory, and supports her independent judgment. Their familiarity develops through teasing, care, and physical closeness 6 16 36 41 45.
• Tang Ruan — villager and early combat partner. He lends her his jacket, directs her role in the Goblin ambush, and later identifies her potential as a frontline tank 20 22 29.
• Yang Xiong — close friend whose neglected family position parallels Zhao Chi’s orphanhood. They plan mutual trade and support, though Zhao Chi declines an early visit to keep his new race private 3 7 26.
• Li Ruanyu — Class Four’s chief instructor. She helps him catch up academically, arranges tutoring, and provides his starting lord supplies 3 17 27.
• Lu Yi — class monitor and tutor. Lu Yi helps with his studies and objects when Cao Feng publicly insults him 27 28.
• Cao Feng — hostile classmate who dismisses Zhao Chi’s Troll assessment and posts insults in the class chat. Zhao Chi later mocks him after the battle causes losses 27 29.
• Li Zhu, Ding Dang, and Feng Xiu — villagers he appoints as carpenter, blacksmith, and tailor, respectively; tasked with producing arrows, tools, and clothes 42 43.
• Old Bu — captured Goblin chieftain, renamed by Zhao Chi and forced to organize the other captives’ labor 43 44.
• Wang Lie — classmate and trading partner who exchanges the Stocking Fashion Modification Book for Zhao Chi’s 21 Goblin captives and agrees to pay the tax 47.
• His clan — supports his housing, education, and living costs; Zhao Chi intends to repay its assistance twofold 11.
