Chapter 29: Return to Yuwang Valley
Chapter 29: Return to Yuwang Valley
The middle-aged man walked into the courtyard very naturally. He put his breakfast on the stone table, reached out and took out a cigarette, tapped it lightly, squeezed out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, pulled a chair over and sat down, and said with a smile:
"Xiao He, you don't know. The whole island was evacuated that day, and I came to look for you. Who would have thought that you would go out to sea directly? In that kind of weather, even an experienced sailor wouldn't be able to guarantee that he would come back safe and sound. You are so lucky, you are blessed."
Jiang He sat down across from the stone table, unwrapped the plastic bag of breakfast, picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling:
"Uncle Han, if you have something to say, just say it."
Uncle Han frowned, "We fishermen are most afraid of natural disasters. This storm destroyed most of the group's long-distance sailing group. I, the project manager, have been on pins and needles recently. The general manager has said that the long-distance sailing group must be rebuilt within two months. Uncle Han has no choice but to go door to door to ask for help. Fortunately, there is still some face. If you count yours, there will be four ships."
Jiang He secretly hypnotized him and asked, "Two months is a bit tight, right? It's not easy to gather dozens of ships. The general manager is so anxious, maybe something big is going to happen to your group."
Uncle Han seemed to have opened up a conversation, and sighed, "It's still the batch of goods from South Vietnam. They are all top-quality jadeite rough stones. To be honest, I'm already old, and this is the first time I've seen such a large shipment of rough stones. I know without a doubt that there must be a big shot from South Vietnam behind this. This order only requires payment in gold, as if there's going to be a war. If it can't be delivered to Mexico within half a year, they're likely to change their partner."
Jiang He took a sip of soy milk. Given the tight deadline for the order, it would be difficult to catch up by temporarily building ships. As for spending money to purchase the ships, the other large coastal groups would not sit idly by. Under pressure from both inside and outside, Anping Sailing had resorted to purchasing the ships from the fishermen, which meant that the value of this order was absolutely inestimable.
"Gold in troubled times." Jiang He thought, the new order of the origin game overlaps with the old order of the nations, which is bound to lead to chaos and change. The big shots in South Vietnam may not be players, but they have probably received some news.
Uncle Han raised his hand and tapped his head, a little annoyed that he had gone off topic, and said bluntly:
"Xiao He, your boat is an antique and can't carry much cargo. The group will have to refit it. The general manager was also scared by the storm and kept talking about getting a good start. How about this? I offer 226,000, which is much higher than the estimated price."
Jiang He seemed to think carefully for a moment, and began to hypnotize him, "Uncle Han, why can't I become an employee of the company directly? Age is not a problem for people like us on the border. Besides, since the general manager wants to get a jackpot, it shouldn't be a big deal to make an exception. The cost savings from renting the ship to the group can be considered my salary in a sense."
Lao Hei at the side pricked up his ears. The employees of Anping Group's long-distance sailing team did not need to clock in at the company. They just had to follow along during normal voyages. If the fishing boat was rented out, someone did not even need to accompany it because an employee would be responsible for driving it. In fact, renting a boat was not necessarily related to becoming an employee, but it seemed that the active skill called hypnosis had been activated.
Uncle Han frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "It seems that this ship is very important to you. To be honest, I am determined to get this thing. It is normal to pay a so-called price. If you have thought it through, let's sign the contract as soon as possible. I am the project manager and I will be your boss in the future."
Jiang He nodded in agreement. He was now busy getting involved in the extraordinary and did not intend to invest too much time and energy in real affairs. Otherwise, according to the normal development he deduced, he should have experienced a series of events such as beating up Uncle Han, defeating the thugs, facing the general manager, and provoking the chairman. The most important thing was that there was no reward for the task.
Uncle Han called the group's legal staff, and the leasing and onboarding process took a whole morning, keeping everything simple.
Both parties put away the contract. Before leaving, Uncle Han instructed: "Xiao He, the fishing boats will be uniformly modified in a month, and you have to show up. There is nothing else to do at other times. The salary will be deposited into the card on time, 8,500 yuan a month."
Jiang He saw the other person out and came back to eat the breakfast on the table.
Lao Hei smiled and said, "The Han guy is pretty easy to talk to."
Jiang He swallowed the bun calmly and said, "He's pressed for time now. After delivering this batch of goods in half a year, he might use the excuse of being underage to fire me from the company and use the ship to pay for the breach of contract. The difference between the purchase budget and a few months' salary is more than 100,000 yuan, which is not worth his anger."
Lao Hei was stunned and asked, "What should we do then?"
Jiang He said calmly: "It's just a possibility. If he really wants to do something extreme, then kill him. Under the premise of keeping it hidden, it will be easy in half a year. Of course, I hope that peace will bring wealth. In any case, at least there will be nothing to worry about in the next period of time." Lao Hei knew that the other party had grown crooked a long time ago, but he didn't care. He said: "Let's go, go to the mountains to hunt."
……
In the afternoon, the man and the dog came to Yuwang Valley again.
Jiang He stuffed the two gas tanks he bought into the item bag and detonated them. He then put them into the chaos explosion engineer. The shock wave and heat radiation suddenly gathered, and the black gem on the ring fell off, and then a new gem condensed.
[Name: Chaos Bomb]
[Category: Consumables]
[Quality: Rare]
[Effects: ① Causes a powerful explosion with a range of 30 meters. ② Causes 20% additional damage to flesh and blood life and spirit bodies. ③ Each superposition causes an additional 10 points of true damage]
[Note: Low cost and outstanding effect! ]
"Unfortunately, it's risky to buy another gas can."
Jiang He stepped into Yuwang Valley. He currently needed a stable and huge source of explosives, and the player's Dark Forest mode was like a mountain pressing down on his head. During the Origin game's internal testing period, there were definitely many people who attempted to obtain player qualifications after learning the intelligence.
Passing the Yuwang Monument that divides yin and yang, the lush and dark primeval forest appeared before our eyes. Since the last exploration was yesterday in reality, there were still dozens of leaf monkeys not far ahead who had not left. As if they had sensed the people coming, they turned into leaves and hid.
Lao Hei walked closer and looked at the leaves covered with bite marks. He said, "This monkey seems to live on leaves."
Jiang He walked to the middle of the woods, summoned out the Changhen Spear, then swept it fiercely at the big tree next to him. The force of a hundred kilograms was released, and the thick tree was easily broken.
Three leaf monkeys fell down, squawking.
Jiang He's eyes were cold. In his eyes, these prey seemed to be slowed down and appeared abnormally sluggish. The limit of human agility greatly enhanced his reaction speed.
Three shots were fired, and the leaf monkey's eyes exploded.
This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Dozens of leaf monkeys gave up hiding, revealed their true forms, and rushed deep into the jungle.
Jiang He kept firing, and blood-red fireworks rose up.
Lao Hei arched his body, and the hair on his back and tail burst out like steel needles, and he also intercepted six or seven of them.
Jiang He took a kitchen knife and started to peel off the animal skin. In the derivative task, he bought twenty yellow paper talismans from Cangshan Fuxue. One talisman was worth two and a half complete beast skins. In other words, he had to hunt at least fifty prey this time when he went up the mountain.
