Chapter 894: Exchange of Goods

Chen Chuan saw the monkey coming, stopped and looked over.

When the general creatures in the Fusion Land saw him, unless they were stupid-minded creatures like rats and pigs, most of them would stay away from him. Unexpectedly, this ape was not afraid and instead came to him actively.

When it ran in front of him, the monkey made a gesture of digging in the sac in its abdomen, and some shiny things could be seen in its hand. It came to Chen Chuan's feet, put the things down, picked up a stone and put it back, then took the things out again, and it repeated this action several times.

Chen Chuan immediately understood that this was a plan to exchange something with him.

Some groups of marsupials in the blending area have this habit because they have a wide migration range and have interacted with humans. It is also very fair. The higher the value of the things you give them, the higher the return they give you. Of course, the value of things is determined according to their understanding.

But in this land of fusion, anything that is rare and valuable and understood by living things is almost what he needs.

He thought about it, took out a water bag from his waist and threw it over.

This is made of the membrane of the multi-eyed magic ray, which is very tough and can gather water on its own as long as there is moisture outside. It is a good thing to have in the desert.

At that time, he collected some and made two of them.

After the monkey received his water bag, it was obvious that it could tell the benefits of it and wanted it very much. However, it seemed that it could not come up with anything corresponding in exchange. It was so anxious that it scratched its ears and cheeks. It put down the water bag, ran a few steps, and shouted to the outside. In an instant, dozens of monkeys jumped off the tapir and rushed over here.

When a group of monkeys gathered together and surrounded the water bag and called out, everyone passed the water bag around. Finally, an old ape with white hair came out, took out something wrapped in some leather from his belly bag, and passed it to Chen.

Chen Chuan took it and opened the leather. Inside was a prismatic stone. He couldn't tell what it was and it was very light, but he intuitively felt that it was not simple.

But then his eyes fell on the leather, and his heart moved slightly. He put the things away again, nodded to the old ape, and put the things away in front of these monkeys and put them in the pocket of his smock.

As soon as he made this gesture, he approved the exchange, and all the monkeys made a special cry, but it was not difficult to feel that they were cheering.

The old ape then took out a bundle of white monkey hair from its belly bag, crawled a few steps, and handed it to Chen Chuan. Its expression was very serious, and it even pulled over a little ape to demonstrate a few things.

Chen Chuan looked at it for a while and understood the meaning. It means that if he encounters a similar group of apes next time, he can take this hair and actively trade with them.

There's something interesting about this.

He took the hair.

At this time, the old ape let out a cry, and all the monkeys jumped back, leaving only a cloud of dust.

Chen Chuan took out the thing that the old ape gave him and opened it again. He put the prismatic stone aside first, and opened the leather instead, and spread it out in front of him. He could see colorful marks on it.

If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be a map. I don't know who drew it, but judging from the texture, it may be very old. Although there are no obvious characters on it, different terrains are represented by different color blocks, and it is still relatively intuitive.

There are almost no details, but the general outline is there. The yellow-brown area represents the desert in front of him, the charred black area should represent the plain behind him, and there are two red and blue blocks on it.

Judging from the terrain, the red block was behind him, which was exactly where the monkeys were going, and the blue block was exactly the direction he was facing at the moment.

There are some long white lines converging towards the blue area. These should represent rivers. From this perspective, the blue area is most likely a sea.

He thought about it and decided not to change direction, so he picked up his suitcase and walked towards that place against the wind.

The Jinfengyuan villa area is located in Weiguang District of the central city.

Nian Fuli drove an armored car into the garage. He is now in charge of personnel work in the city patrol. The higher-ups all know that he is Director Chen's uncle and they all give him face.

Although the people below don't know his background, it is impossible for him to get to this position without a background. He is a veteran who has fought in wars, served as a captain, managed people, and is good at building relationships and making friends. Therefore, over the past few months, he has firmly secured his position.

Maybe it’s because the food and nutrition here are good, and I’ve been taking time to exercise every day recently, so my loose muscles have returned and I’m in better spirits than before.

When he returned to the villa, Yu Wan was just putting down the phone. Seeing him come in, she walked up to him, took the clothes he had taken off, and said, "Laonian, I have something to tell you. My elder sister just called me and said that Xiaocheng is coming."

"Hinayana?" Nian Fuli thought for a moment and said, "What does my brother-in-law mean?"

Yu Wan said, "I think so. My sister doesn't have that in mind. She would rather have the child by her side forever."

Nian Fuli said, "It's good for him to come. It will be more lively. With Xiaochuan here, he won't suffer any loss. I think this kid has a good nature. Doing something serious is better than anything else."

At this time, a waiter came over and bowed and said, "Sir, Madam, the teacher is leaving." Yu Wan hurriedly said, "I'll see him off."

Nian Fuli went to the bathroom to wash up. When he came out, Yu Wan had already returned. He asked, "How does this new teacher Gu compare to teacher Weng?"

"They are all good." Yu Wan said, "Teacher Weng is very knowledgeable, and this teacher Gu knows how to take care of children. She has made Xiao Mo and Xiao Lu very obedient."

Nian Fuli said: "This teacher is capable. Xiaolu is okay, but Xiaomo is playful and it's not easy to control him without a belt."

Yu Wan rolled her eyes at him, "Do you think they all look like you?"

Nian Fuli disagreed, "This is how I teach new recruits in the army. If they don't know the rules, they will behave themselves after being beaten. If you argue with them about right and wrong, they will argue more than you."

He went to the side and turned on the field screen, on which various news programs popped up one after another. This convenience of receiving and transmitting information was unimaginable in the past.

Yu Wan came over again, "Old Man, when can we find some time to go back and take a look?"

Nian Fuli said: "You've only been out for a few months and you're already homesick?"

Yu Wan said, "I just miss my neighbors. I also wonder if Aunt Luo is taking good care of the flowers I planted in the yard."

Nian Fuli thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until Xiaochuan comes back. It's not easy for Xiaochuan either. He's been away for a month on this mission. I don't know how he's doing now."

Yu Wan showed a trace of worry on her face. When she was in Yangzhi, she would receive a greeting call from Chen Chuan every month. Now there has been no news for so many days and she didn't know how he was doing.

Nian Fuli saw her and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, Xiaochuan is a fighter. Even if others are in trouble, he will be fine."

"Ah."

Meanwhile, in White Bird District.

Mr. Chi was communicating with people via the interface in the lobby of his villa. Outside him was a simulated green garden, and from time to time, bursts of pleasant bird calls could be heard.

A voice came from the Jie Ping side saying, "After that person came out of Deep Valley City, he went to the unknown depths of the Blending Land. It has been almost a month, and the spies stationed there have not seen any signs of him returning.

We got a piece of news earlier, saying that two generals from the old dynasty had been to the place he was going to now, but they came out one after another, and their stay was less than half a month. This one didn't come out now, so is it possible..."

Mr. Chi shook his head and said, "Don't be so optimistic. This guy is very powerful. He took several times more food and nutrients from the Municipal Council than the average fighter. You should understand what this means. Besides, the general of the old dynasty died in his hands. What that guy couldn't do, this guy may be able to do.

Judging from the supplies he brought, it should be enough for a month, so if he doesn't come back next month, he is likely to stay there for a long time, so you need to keep a close eye on him at all times."

The voice said, "I understand. I will report to you at any time if there is any situation."

Mr. Chi ended the call, but the phone on the desk rang again. It was a dedicated line. He immediately stepped forward, picked up the phone, took a breath and said, "I'm Chi Houde."

The voice on the other end of the phone came over, "The gentleman asked me to tell you that the man is on his way to your place. He may arrive in three hours. You have to make arrangements for him according to the plan."

Mr. Chi's expression became serious. "Okay, I'll pick him up in person." After the other party hung up the phone, he immediately came to the back of the villa and climbed down a passage shaft. There was a small offshore sightseeing submarine that could accommodate six people.

More than half an hour later, the routine inspection was completed, and he got in with the help and arrangement of internal staff. After more than ten minutes, the submarine headed into the sea.

The sightseeing submarine was not moving very fast, and it traveled less than ten kilometers in an hour. At this time, the telegraph operator received a signal, and the submarine rushed to a coordinate point that had been transmitted. Soon, it saw through the lights that there was a submarine wrapped in an anti-field reflective film parked on the opposite side.

The sightseeing submarine approached and docked with the hatch. After the hatch was opened and waiting for a while, an internal staff member wearing an oxygen mask appeared on the opposite side and made a gesture to him, indicating that he should close the hatch.

Mr. Chi was stunned. What did this mean? Where was the person? Where was the person he was supposed to pick up?
At this moment, I suddenly thought of something. I looked back and saw that there was someone sitting in the seat where I originally sat.

It was impossible to tell the man's exact age. His hair was dyed green and spread out like seaweed. His skin was iron black, and it was obvious that it was an implant. There were also closed lumps on his arms, but it was unclear what their function was. His expression was quite grim.

He was startled, straightened his clothes, and asked respectfully, "Is it Mr. Noche?"
