Chapter 262 - The Shrimp B1 Island’s Aborigine Tribal Distribution Map
Hey, buddy! Youve asked the right person! This kind of map is very secretive; ordinary people havent heard of this yet. However, as long as the price is right, I can sell you a duplicate copy! The thick-browed big-eyed young white man whispered and leaned into Zhang Lishengs ears before continuing to talk in a mysterious yet sincere way. Its leaked from the military channel, so its guaranteed to be genuine!
Duplicate? Theres even an original and a duplicate copy for the map? This stunned Zhang Lisheng for a moment before adding in, Oh well, it doesnt matter! Duplicate it is then, as long as its usable! They said 3000 USD is a fair price
Very fair, man! Its exactly this price, 3000 USD. Looks like you have some sources of information; youre very sensible too! The young white man patted Zhang Lishengs shoulder forcefully. Follow me, well deal in cash and hand you the goods at the same time!
After saying so, the young white man kept muttering about how the map was in high demand but in short supply as he brought Zhang Lisheng to walk through several blocks in hastened footsteps before walking into a crowded cement house.
This was a simple house that had an area of 30 square meters and could accommodate eight people in double-decker beds. Upon seeing the young white man walking into the house together with Zhang Lisheng, a strapping fellow who wore a black suit while sitting on an iron bed said in a low muffled voice. John, youre bringing another guest again? Looks like business is great; its time for us to consider raising the price of our goods now!
The young white man pointed at Zhang Lisheng and flashed a thumb up as he said, Phillip, its reasonable for us to raise our price when the business is good, but this guy is a straightforward person! Weve already agreed on the price, so I will carry this business out in three grand!
If you say so, the strapping fellow said with a cold expression. To be honest, buddy, with such a down-to-earth personality, youre really not suitable for this business at all!
We cant do business like how you do! Weve already agreed on the price, so of course, I The white young man curled his lips and looked as though he was about to argue with the strapping fellow; however, a young black man who looked small, skinny, yet clever that was sitting on the bed next to him cast a meaningful glance at him, so the young man immediately ceased his hostility and harrumphed loudly. Mind your own business, Phillip! Manny, bring out the laptop! Ill print a duplicate copy of the map for our customers. Its 3000 USD, so dont take more from him!
Look at his attitude, Manny! I was just speaking on behalf of everybodys benefit
Stop complaining, Phillip! John is right this time! The most important thing in doing business is trustworthiness from both parties! The small and thin black man took out an old laptop equipped with a printer and leaped down from the bed before handing it over to the young white man.
The young white man turned on the computer and opened a document in a hidden folder. Pointing at a complicated-looking jungle map painted with some kind of drawing software, he told Zhang Lisheng, This is it, buddy! The distribution map of all the known indigenous tribes on Shrimp B1 Island. Let us deliver the goods in one hand and money in another!
Then, eagerly, as he was about to click on the print button
Hold on, Mr. John! Zhang Lisheng suddenly reached out a hand to place it on the young white mans hand and said loudly to stop him. At that instant, the atmosphere in the cement room became heavy while the thin black man said with a hypocritical smile, Hey buddy! John is very sincere in doing business with you! He even argued with Phillip because of this
I know how sincere Mr. John is. Zhang Lisheng smiled and interrupted the young mans words before taking out a stack of USD banknotes from his pocket to hand it to the young white man. Ill give you the money first, Mr. John, but can I look at the map on the laptop first before I print it out?
Upon seeing the stack of USD banknotes in front of him, the young white man pushed the laptop into Zhang Lishengs arms and grabbed the USD banknotes before laughing out loud. Since youre so sincere, buddy, of course, its no problem at all!
The atmosphere in the cement house became joyous right away when the young white man took the money. They were quite happy that nobody noticed that Zhang Lisheng sat down on an empty bed and put the laptop on his lap. Muttering pst shh in his lonesome, he cast some spells and changed some bits on the map in a calm state for a while before printing out a finished product.
Then, he held the finished map in his hands and looked at it before showing a satisfied smile. Standing up, he said, Alright, Mr. John! Im happy to have carried out this deal with you. Goodbye! He then smiled before leaving the cement house.
Oh, oh buddy! Goodbye! I hope we have a chance to make another deal next time The young white man who was still counting the banknotes again was stunned for a moment before waving at Zhang Lishengs silhouette with all his might. After the silhouette had disappeared, he laughed so hard till tears started to flow from his eyes. Did you hear it, Manny? H-He even said goodbye to me! Oh my God! What a nave person! Hahaha Oh, I cant anymore! I cant! My stomach is in pain for laughing too much right now
But this guy is really too nave! Dont you think its a little strange, John? If you think carefully about it, its just too strange! Because of Zhang Lishengs overly cooperative manner, the skinny and small black man commented with a frown and perplexed expression instead.
Strange? What is so strange about it? We only made a copy of paper, anyway! Even if we received 30 counterfeit bills, wed make great profits as well! The young white man held the banknotes up to his mouth and smelled the new papers before saying out loud, Let alone the fact that these 30 babies are all real!
It stunned the small and skinny man for a moment before shrugging as he said in relief, Youre right, John! I shouldnt care about whether or not its strange! Our cost is just one paper; even if that banana finds out that something is not right later, he wouldnt have any evidence to sue us! Hey, lets talk about the division of profit now
The group of temporary gusted scammers began to quarrel for their profit division. At the same time, in the cement room within one of the gathering places corner where the great wizards gathered, Ouyang Boxiong said sinisterly, That boy is quite hardworking, even though he has to go out to do things all by himself
Older Brother Ouyang, the attached soul on your living corpse can indeed see clearly, but you dont understand a word of the foreign language at all. How do you know whether or not hes hardworking then? Yang Tianyun, who was by the side, said as he curled his lips, Anyways, its kinda unnecessary to do so. Theres an ancient saying that says if you use a man, dont suspect him; if you suspect him, dont use him. Besides, hes only a kid whos barely even 20 years old; even if he has an ulterior motive, just how far can he get with his plan?
Even though I cant comprehend what he was saying, I can still understand the ways of the world, so I can definitely tell with just one glance if he has any cunning plans. Other than not being able to enter the house, the entire journey is Ah, forget it, that kid is coming back soon. Anyway, caution is the parent of safety, so theres nothing wrong with being careful. Ouyang Boxiong smiled with a grim expression.
After being silent for a moment, he saw Zhang Lisheng walk into the house with hastened footsteps, so he immediately pretended to ask, Lisheng, how did it go?
Ive already got the ship tickets and the map. Its just that the map is a duplicate and the ratio is smaller! Not only that, there are only details of several dozen tribes. Zhang Lisheng answered as he stacked the tickets and the map together before handing them over to Ouyang Boxiong with both hands.
It doesnt matter if the ratio is small. Our eyes can even see insects that are thousands of meters away, so this means nothing to us. The old man took the ship tickets and map before studying them carefully. Then, nodding his head, he said, Several dozen aborigine nests grouped together are already enough for us! Good! You did very well! Youve done great contributions and even the Old Gods may even want to summon you personally when we return to the Mountain Gate! When that time comes, itll be no surprise if youre given a secret method, or even directly promoted as a B-ranked disciple. Go rest for a while and attain your mental composure. Follow us out in the evening to leave town. By that time, well show you the methods we, these witchcraft seniors of yours, have!
Wizards situated between heaven and earth shepherded the people on behalf of their gods and ancestors. When they were free, they rebuked at the sun and seized the moon, but when they were at war, they would never yield till they died. Not only that, they joined the so-called Mountain Gates and became some sort of disciples.
After spending a long time with them, Zhang Lisheng originally did not have much respect for these great wizards, so now that he heard Ouyang Boxiongs words, he looked down on them even more. Even so, he still put a pleasantly surprised facade and retreated with a lowered head.
Time passed by; unknowingly, evening arrived. The sun that was about to set sprinkled countless rays of golden sunshine on the shoreline and illuminated the entire gathering place as though it was a dreamy ancient city.
Just as the gate of the city wall was about to close, a large group of different ages, skin colors, and fashion queued up in a long line and walked out of the city gate during the sunset.
As big companies from the human world started to settle in Shrimp B1 Island, there was an increasing number of workers who took the risk to stay outside the gathering place due to being tempted by high rewards. For this reason, more people capable of surviving in the islands wildlands were slowly being discovered.
Even though there were still dangers lurking outside, as long as it was not too far away from the human gathering place, the danger was no longer fatal. The departure of this group of people did not elicit much attention from others.
Even so, Ouyang Boxiong, who had established some kind of authority inexplicably by ordering Zhang Lisheng around, recently posed as the leader of the team and said cautiously, Let us take a detour from the city entrance and enter the forest from a remote place on the other side. Dont let these US devils see through our plans!
Upon hearing the old mans words, several great wizards were about to take a detour reluctantly, but Zhang Lisheng suddenly said with a wry smile, Senior Ouyang, other than the coastal area, all three sides of the gathering place have lookout holes with high-infrared monitoring rays. Itd be even more suspicious if we take a detour to enter the jungle. We might as well separate in groups of three to five and enter the jungle directly.
Did you hear that, Older Brother Ouyang? Dont act as though you know a lot! Yang Tianyun chuckled loudly and put his arm around Zhang Lishengs shoulder. Lisheng knows a lot, so lets do what he says. Lets go, boy! Lets enter the jungle first!
Then, with big strides, he ran into the jungle right away.
With such a separation, it took a while for all the wizards to gather again in the depths of the jungle. At this time, the sky was already dark and darkness covered the woodland, with only the remaining inexplicable faint sounds of hissing and the horrifying roaring of strange beasts in the distance.
Amidst the roaring of the foreign worlds strange beasts, Ouyang Boxiong glanced at Zhang Lisheng with a glum expression and said, We can finally make our moves freely now that weve reached here. Brother Tianyun, since you keep refuting what I said, why dont you show us what you got instead?
