Professor Chen seemed to have heard their voices and came over and said,
"It must be Comrade Xiao Hu."
"Hey, it's me. Hello, Professor Chen." As they said this, they all knew each other by name.
"Let's sit down and talk." Professor Chen was very polite.
"I have to sit down and talk!" The fat man even sneered at Hao Aiguo, but was stabbed by Hu Bayi.
"I think Comrade Xiao Jin has told you about our situation, right?" Professor Chen said.
"Comrade Xiao Jin?" Fatty asked curiously, wondering who he was talking about?
"It's the big gold tooth." Lin Feng reminded him.
"Yes, he also told me a lot about your situation. He was very impressed. He has been a company commander in the People's Liberation Army and has combat experience. He has also been to the desert and passed glaciers. It is not easy. Being the leader of us nerds, It’s really more than enough.”
"I don't dare take it seriously, but I did follow the troops into the depths of the desert twice to act." Hu Bayi replied.
"But we have a special request this time, which is the Tianxing Feng Shui technique. I wonder if you two understand it."
"Professor Chen, this kind of Tianxing Feng Shui you mentioned..."
Then Hu Bayi started to talk fiercely, directly fooling Hao Aiguo and Professor Chen.
"Thank God for sending us a talent like you. Comrades, I declare, Comrade Hu Bayi, from now on, you will officially join our archaeological team. Congratulations."
"Thank you! Thank you!" Hu Bayi was very happy when he saw that the matter was done.
"Here, let me introduce to you. This is my student Sa Di Peng, who likes to study aliens." Hao Aiguo introduced.
"Hello, Brother Hu, are you interested in ET?"
Hu Bayi was a little confused and didn't know what ET was, but Lin Feng suddenly remembered the joke and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I just thought of a joke." Lin Feng quickly explained.
Several other people already looked ugly, but Sa Di Peng asked, "What's the joke?"
Lin Feng had no choice but to tell them, "It is said that there are 26 English letters in total. After ET is gone, how many are left?"
"Twenty-four, do you still need to ask?" Chu Jian next to him interjected.
"Wrong, there are 21 left, because ET left, and he also drove away the UFO."
No one had ever heard of this brainteaser that would become a bad thing in later generations, so they burst out laughing, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Only Hu Bayi and Fatty didn't know what was so funny about it, so they had no choice but to laugh.
"I didn't expect that Comrade Xiaolin knew something about English. They are all talented people."
"Professor Chen is too polite. I have stayed in the United States for a few years, so I can say a few words." Lin Feng was modest.
Then Hao Aiguo introduced two other students, Chu Jian and Ye Yixin.
"Mr. Hu is so knowledgeable!" But it was Shirley Yang who came over to say hello after seeing that everyone had finished their introductions.
"Oh, by the way, let me introduce to you. This is the sponsor of this event, Ms. Yang. Don't look at her as a girl. She is a famous photographer for National Geographic magazine in the United States. She will also be here this time. Will come with us.”
"Ang, this, Hello, How are you!" Hu Bayi didn't know where he learned this unfamiliar English sentence.
"Mr. Hu, let's speak Chinese." Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi shook hands as they spoke. Upon seeing this, the fat man also stretched out his hand to shake hands, but Shirley Yang did not extend his hand and said,
"Mr. Wang and Mr. Lin came together with Mr. Hu. I don't know what special skills you two have. We don't need people without special skills for this event." This sentence was not polite at all.
"Oh, there are many dangers in the desert. These two friends of mine are very skilled, and their marksmanship is also first-rate." Hu Ba praised them.
"The desert is nothing. When I went to Xinjiang, I suppressed bandits and killed the bandit leader in the Niya Oasis. Do you see, this is the trophy." As he spoke, the fat man took out the bag his father left for him. A jade pendant.
Professor Chen and Shirley Yang's eyes lit up when they saw the ghost cave inscription on Fatty's jade pendant.
"Comrade Xiao Wang, can I take a look at this jade pendant of yours?" Professor Chen asked carefully.
"Okay, be careful not to break it." He took it off and handed it to Professor Chen.
Professor Chen had something to say to the fat man and sent Hao Aiguo and the students away. He and Shirley Yang studied the jade pendant for a while. He felt that the fat man’s jade pendant should be helpful to this operation, so he agreed to the fat man to follow him. go.
"Comrade Xiao Wang, we agree that you can go with us, but this Mr. Lin..."
Before Lin Feng could say anything, the fat man said first, "The three of us are together. Either we all go or none of us go. It's up to you." This sentence was also rude. I guess the fat man saw it. They He definitely needed Hu Bayi and the jade pendant, and Shirley Yang didn't give him face before, so he just said this.
Professor Chen and Shirley Yang looked at each other and could only agree.
"For this operation, each of the three people will be paid ten thousand US dollars. If they find the ancient city of Jingjue, the reward will be doubled. What do you think?"
"What do you think?" Hu Bayi turned around and asked. Lin Feng and Fatty both nodded in agreement.
"Okay, that's settled."
After the matter was settled, the few people left. Originally, Lin Feng thought that if Shirley Yang didn't agree to go, he would fool her with her grandfather's partridge whistle and things about the Ghost Cave Clan, but the fat man threatened her. The goal has been achieved.
"Hey, I'm talking about crazy people. Didn't you also say that you want to win over this American girl to feed her? Why didn't you say anything when we met? Are you scared?" The fat man teased Lin Feng as soon as he came out of the door.
"You don't understand this. A woman as proud as this girl from America can't be obtained by just showing her courtesy. She needs an opportunity. We have plenty of time for this expedition. Let's see how Brother Feng uses his methods to win her over. Bar."
"Oops, I didn't see it. You madman keeps doing the same thing, so I wish you success as soon as possible." Hu Bayi also smiled.
"Hey, tell me, can we find this exquisite ancient city? That's twenty thousand dollars."
"Don't think about it. I've never heard of that ancient city. Look at Professor Chen's old arms and legs. Whether he can get in or out is a question. We just want to bring them out alive. Yes." Hu Bayi didn't have much hope for this action.
The three of them walked back while chatting. In the next few days, several people began to purchase supplies. Although Shirley Yang was responsible for most of the supplies, they also needed some equipment of their own, especially Lin Feng. Many of the things he purchased last time were left to Yingzi. This time it needs to be repurchased.
First of all, two cubic meters of space must be reserved for holding water, which means it can hold two tons of water. If you can't get out of the desert with these two tons of water, you will have to accept your fate. Then I bought various drinks, beer, liquor, yogurt, etc., as well as various foods, instant noodles, compressed biscuits, etc. There was no need to buy weapons. I collected a lot at the Kwantung Army fortress last time, which was completely sufficient. , I just bought a few more ice axes. This thing is a magical tool in Laura’s hands, so I’m prepared for anything.
Since time will stop as long as anything is put into the space, Lin Feng also put in some cooked food this time, such as roast duck, meat buns, etc. I also got some concentrated peppermint and mustard oil, planning to use it when I'm attacked by hallucinations. In Lin Feng's opinion, this mustard is definitely much more useful than the American medicine made by Shirley Yang. One drop is effective.
After two days of shopping, Lin Feng could no longer fit anything into his space, so he went back satisfied.
