That night, the strong man who had been beaten all over the ground quickly became entangled with a group of mercenaries, about thirty or forty people, who surrounded the Catalpa Wood Bar.
Chen Xing and his people stayed on the second floor of the hotel, not daring to go out. They were poorly equipped, many of the team members didn't even have pistols, and their numbers varied several times. They were looking for abuse if they went down there.
Although they are part of the principality's garrison, their status is actually not high. It mainly depends on the town to which they belong. As long as the garrison of an edge town like them is not within its jurisdiction and does not have the protection of the wilderness guardians, its status is not as good as that of a slightly larger mercenary group.
But then again, the other party still has some scruples, otherwise he would have rushed up with a gun.
"You bastard, if you are wise, get out of here. Grandpa promises not to beat you to death!" The strong man shouted from below, but his teeth were leaking, which made him look very funny.
"We are the garrison of the principality. Your current behavior will be regarded as treason, deprived of civil rights, and exiled to the wilderness!" Chen Xing leaned against the window and shouted downwards.
As soon as he finished speaking, the mercenaries surrounding the hotel looked at each other with fear. When the strong man saw this, he immediately drank it back: "You think we are fools, this is not a time of war! According to the laws of the principality, all garrison members who are not within the jurisdiction are regarded as civilians!"
I didn't expect that such a rough and tumble man could actually understand the law. It's really unpleasant. Chen Xing then changed the topic and said, "Brother, you were the one who stole my life first, so I started a conflict with you. How about this? Each of us makes a concession, and I'll pay for your medical expenses. Let's all be nice. Make money."
"Fuck you!" The strong man pointed at the window above and cursed, "Who do you think I am? Knock out my two front teeth and pay some medical bills. Just dream on me!"
"Then what do you want?" Chen Xing asked.
The strong man frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Well, since you want to settle the matter, I have to be honest..." He paused and raised his voice, "First, get down and kneel in front of grandpa to admit your mistake. Second, pay compensation of five hundred gold coins, and third, give the person to us!"
"Okay!" Chen Xing responded.
The strong man suddenly looked happy, but a second later, he heard a loud curse, "Wait for the next life!"
"You are looking for death!" The strong man was furious. He raised his hand and wanted to order an attack, but he hesitated for a few seconds and then put it down. With his current strength, he would not dare to go up and fight with the defense team. Then he rolled his eyes, raised his head and shouted, "You brat, are you still a man?" He said provocatively, "If you are a man, come down and fight. Life or death is determined by fate. Don't drag your brothers to suffer together."
His move was very vicious. The opponent was the newly appointed captain. He had scanned his personal strength and found that he was just a rookie. In all likelihood, he would not dare to challenge him. In this way, the opponent's morale will be severely damaged. You know, in the wilderness, strength is everything. Who would dare to follow such a captain?
"You are not qualified to fight me." Chen Xing shouted down, "Anyone in my team can beat you until you cry for father and mother!"
Stimulated by Chen Xing, the strong man beat his chest and shouted, "Come on!"
"Okay, wait!" Chen Xing shouted, then turned around and said to Ye Yang Bailiu who was sitting on the bed reading a novel, "Captain Ye, it's up to you."
The person involved put down the novel, rolled his eyes at the former, then adjusted his body armor and the hammer on his waist, put on his goggles, and walked out.
"You brat, how can you be a hero if you send a woman here?" The strong man clenched his fists and shouted at Chen Xing in the hotel with veins on his forehead.
"To deal with a rookie like you, women are enough!" Chen Xing shouted.
"Get out!" The strong man yelled, but Chen Xing remained unmoved and just said lightly, "I advise you to scan it with a black watch first. Otherwise, you will be beaten to death and maimed later. Well, don’t blame me for not warning you in advance.”
The strong man was stunned for a moment, then frowned, raised his hand, and scanned it with his black watch.
After just one glance, he was completely stunned, and fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Although except for the three basic attributes, the rest are kept secret, it is enough to explain the problem.
"You bastard, you are cruel!" The strong man said a cruel word, and then led his men to retreat without staying for more than a second. With a strength of 37 points and a constitution of 45 points, he is a strong defender. Killing him is like chopping vegetables. This is just a woman, God knows who else is on the other side. Maybe he was a kid from an aristocratic family who went out to practice, and there were so many experts around him that anyone who could pull him out would kill him in seconds.
Just like that, the turmoil caused by the new teammates came to an end.
Having a wilderness tree herder can bring a stable income to the entire team. Of course, the premise is that the other party is obedient and easy to use. This carrot's social credibility is very low, and he still has many shortcomings of a refugee, so he needs to be properly trained.
But not now, but after leaving the satellite signal coverage area...
On the third day after the storm passed, Chen Xing received messages from Longshi Town Auction House one after another.
[Commemorative gold coins, successfully auctioned, 12 gold and 5 silver]
[Female wood carving (small-leaf rosewood), successfully auctioned, 178 gold]
[Western Ranger Captain Bronze Medal, successfully auctioned, 115 gold]
The female wood sculpture fetched an unexpected price for Chen Xing, which was nearly twenty times higher than the auction house's estimate.
[The total auction price is 305 gold and 5 silver. After deducting 15% of the auction fee and 10% of the transaction tax, the total amount is 229 gold, 1 silver, 2 copper and 5 miles. It has been transferred to the account of the entrusted auctioneer, please pay attention to check]
Chen Xing clicked on the bank interface.
[Gold held: None (cash), 242 gold, 6 silver, 6 copper and 7 cents (bank)]
[Arrearage 1 (Aaliyah): 100 gold, repayment date: Dr2612-6-20]
Although he has a large income, Chen Xing's finances are still very tight.
After getting the money, Chen Xing immediately took his teammates to the firearms store and purchased eleven Black Star pistols, one for each person. He also bought three M4 assault rifles, along with the two Ak47s and one he brought over. With the Uzi submachine gun, the entire team is basically armed. After buying the gun and bullets, Chen Xing's account bottomed out again, with less than thirty gold coins left.
Then, Chen Xing rented a truck, bought some dry food, and set off back to Orchid Town with the new team members.
Xiao Yang drove the jeep, Luo Bao sat in the passenger seat, Chen Xing and Ye Yang Bailiu sat in the back seat, and the others rode in the truck.
On the afternoon of the day of departure, the vehicle exited the highway, drove through a section of cement road, and then entered a gravel-paved red soil road.
The Red Continent is named after these deep red, iron-rich soils.
"Boss, when we get there, you have to arrange a wife for me." Luo Bo said happily, "When I have a wife, I can give birth to a lot of radish. When the radish grows up, I can plant trees for you. , do you think it’s possible to make a lot of money?”
"Sure." Chen Xing responded casually, looking a little out of sorts. Along the way, Carrot kept chattering, but over and over again, just those few words made people feel sleepy, but also irritated.
"You can't just look for them. I like those with big breasts and round butts, which are good for fertility." Luo Luo emphasized.
"Okay." Chen Xing said with a smile, then glanced at Ye Yang Bailiu and glanced between her breasts and buttocks. The latter immediately raised his eyebrows, glared at him, turned away and looked at the scenery in the distance.
"I think the woman who served the roasted leg of lamb last night was pretty good," said Carrot. He was a bartender, plump and fair, with big shoulders and a round waist.
"Okay, I'll introduce him to you when we get to Orchid Town." Chen Xing said with a smile, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. I thought in my mind that I didn't need to go to Orchid Town. Once I got out of the satellite signal coverage area, I would give the other party something exciting so that the other party would understand the rules.
