Dark blue pearls, a whole bag of dark blue pearls!
If placed on the earth, the visual effect would be the same as a bag of African blood diamonds, which would immediately make people think of huge wealth.
In this world, gold, silver, platinum, and diamonds are not the top symbols of wealth, but fine gold, mithril, black titanium, high-grade crystal nuclei, and deep blue pearls.
Deep blue pearls are a gift from the sea and take thousands of years to form. They are as solid as diamonds, dark blue, mysterious and elegant. Dark blue pearl jewelry has always been the favorite of aristocratic ladies. It feels cool to the touch and has a deep color. It can be strung into bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and large ones can also be used as pendants.
The value of each particle is about 500 to 1,000 gold coins, depending on the size and quality of the particles. The whole bag seemed to contain at least thirty pills.
Looking down, there are two gold and silver rings tied together with red rope. The gold ring is carved with a dragon, and the silver ring is carved with a giant python. Although it is metal, it shines as brightly as a diamond. The dragon-snake pairing ring is Yingren's top-grade wedding ring that symbolizes eternal love. It is made of high-purity fine gold and mithril. Just these two rings are worth more than 10,000 gold coins.
Looking further down, there is a pile of gold bars scattered on the ground, with the words "200 grams" written underneath each bar.
Both of them were in a daze for a while, as if they didn't expect that the income would be so generous.
"Put it away quickly, don't show your wealth." Chen Xing was the first to come to his senses, subconsciously looked around, then put away the most precious dark blue pearls and dragon and snake rings, and asked Big Cat to put away the gold bars.
After tidying up his things, Big Cat put his backpack back on. Although more than half of the bullet has been consumed, the weight is still heavier than when it came. There is no other reason than that gold is too heavy.
"Where to go?" the big cat asked, looking a little nervous. He was born at the bottom of Longshi Town and his family ran a grocery store. He had never seen such a huge amount of wealth.
"Return the same way." Chen Xing made a decision quickly. As the saying goes, you are not guilty, but you are guilty of having a jade. The fewer people you encounter on the way back, the better.
The two of them left immediately, without stopping for half a minute. They walked in the direction they came from while it was still dark.
This place is located on the edge of the Forgotten River, and after two hours, the rolling mountains will come into view. Seeing that it was getting dark, I couldn't walk at night no matter how anxious I was. I picked the tallest building nearby, climbed to the top, and camped for a rest.
"Boss, we can recruit a few more people this time when we go back." The big cat said with a bit of excitement while eating the rations of mushroom stewed chicken.
"Don't worry about this, let's improve our attributes first." Chen Xing said without raising his head while eating macaroni with meat sauce.
"Ah, I will be promoted too?" The big cat stopped and looked a little stunned. According to the rules of the mercenary world, Chen Xing is the employer, that is, the boss. After paying the commission, all the team's income belongs to the boss. Of course, there is an appropriate share, but it depends on the boss's mood.
Attribute improvement is a personal matter, and few bosses will directly buy potions for their subordinates, because it is no different from giving money.
Chen Xing didn't seem to hear the implication of Big Cat's words. He rolled up the macaroni with a fork, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and said, "If the two of us are not strong enough, we cannot guarantee the loyalty of the employees. The size of the team depends on us. That’s a lot of people for two to handle.”
His words directly brought the big cat into the core circle of the team, distinguishing the "insiders" from the "outsiders". The big cat was not stupid, so he could naturally hear what he meant, but he just replied lightly, "I, the big cat, don't know anything else. We see each other's hearts over time."
Chen Xing knew that the reason why Big Mao showed low interest was because he felt that he was trying to win people's hearts. After all, with so much treasure, anyone would be jealous. What he says now is just to stabilize the situation. When he gets to the safe house, he may not fulfill his promise.
Chen Xing can understand this idea very well. In this world, there are few people who are loyal and trustworthy, and there are many people who are unkind and unjust. Big cats are smart people, and smart people worry too much. Especially now, the two of them have known each other for less than half a month, so there is no way to say they have much trust.
But the biggest difference between people is that some people will change because of money, beauty, fame and wealth, while some people will not. In the last life, the big cat used his life to prove his loyalty and honor. In this life, he will lead his former friends to the highest mountain in the world.
He remembered that Da Mao had said that he hoped to buy a bigger shop and open a small supermarket in Longshi Town if he made money in the future. In this way, they can hire a few workers, and the mother does not have to work too hard.
Early the next morning, the two packed up and headed for the mountains. At noon, we climbed the first rocky mountain.
Standing high and looking far away, there are mountains.
"Someone!"
The two of them immediately spotted the small black dot moving on the distant mountain peak and quickly got down. The other party seemed to have noticed them and stopped moving.
Chen Xing hesitated for a moment, then took out his telescope and looked over. The two places are thousands of meters apart and cannot be seen clearly without a telescope. A group of exiles appeared in the mirror, about ten people in total, carrying bags and guns, all hiding behind the bunker.
"call out……"
After observing for a while, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came to my ears. Chen Xing suddenly turned his head, and a spring of earth exploded half a meter away, spraying ash all over his head and face. The warhead shot into the soil, leaving a round hole as big as the mouth of a bowl.
"There are snipers, move quickly!"
Chen Xing quickly retreated, out of sight, and ran down the mountain.
The opponent has professional snipers who can launch attacks from three thousand meters away. On the one hand, Chen Xing's Night Owl cannot hit such a distance. On the other hand, he is not good at super long-distance sniping. It is difficult to shoot accurately beyond a thousand meters. While Danger Sense can buy him some advantage, he can't fight back at all. This is the biggest difference between precision shooters and snipers - the difference in ultimate shooting distance.
In the clay world, snipers are a very special type of soldier. Not only does it require long-term training, but it also requires eye surgery to make the eyes more precise. During combat, muscle relaxants, tranquilizers and other auxiliary drugs must be injected to ensure stability. The military is nicknamed the "medicine jar".
Due to the extensive use of drugs, the sniper's body is relatively weak and his close combat ability is extremely poor. Similar to the longbowmen of the medieval period on earth, once they are attacked, they will suffer heavy casualties.
However, on the battlefield, snipers are very difficult to deal with. They are a presence that even gives the strong men of the Sanctuary a headache. Although the sniper's attack can't cause much damage to them, a cold shot from time to time is really disgusting.
For example, Chen Xing now has no choice but to retreat because he is not far enough away.
"How to go?" The big cat followed behind and asked as he ran.
At the foot of the mountain is an endless stretch of wasteland, flat and open. If the opponent goes up the mountain, the sight distance will be very far.
"Go back to Wangchuan and find another way." Chen Xing said.
The terrain of urban ruins is complex, and sniper rifles have no advantage.
Half a day later, the two returned to Wangchuan. Chen Xing did not choose to hide and ambush the group of people. Because he was not sure enough, the opponent even had snipers, so his strength was definitely not weak. For the two of them to deal with more than ten people, the chances of winning are too low. Moreover, they have property on them. As long as they can return to a safe place, they can improve their strength. There is no need to fight to the end.
In the next two days, the two went deep into Wangchuan, planning to make a big circle and leave from the edge of Area 14.
They chose this path because they were not sure whether the opponent would pursue them or whether there was anyone in the opponent's team who was good at tracking. When Chen Xing was in the Thunder Light Regiment in his previous life, he had a young mercenary named "Tutu" who could distinguish the smells wafting in the wind from several kilometers away. He was the scout of their team.
There were also a few good teammates, but when it came time to conquer the big devil, he and Big Cat were the only ones left. Such is the life of a mercenary. In the blink of an eye, that former partner left. And no one knows who will leave next.
Most mercenaries will send their money home or spend it on enjoyment, and only a few will choose to improve their strength. These people are often core members of the team and can receive some additional benefits.
The Thunder Light Group that Chen Xing joined in his previous life was one of the few relatively fair "freedom groups". Taking the team as a unit, only a small part of the loot obtained needs to be turned over. Basically, the more work you do, the more you get. The core members do not have many privileges and benefits.
The Beiqiao regiment that Ye Yang Bailiu went to was a typical "authoritarian regiment". Except for the members of their sister regiment, the mercenaries at the bottom only received wages, and all trophies had to be handed over, and then a small commission was given.
Generally, the larger the mercenary group, the more authoritarian it is and the higher its survival rate. There is an essential difference between the two. Joining a small mercenary group is to "conquer the world", while joining a large mercenary group is to "earn wages", which is in line with the business rules that the higher the risk, the greater the return.
On the fourth day after meeting that group of people, the two started walking towards District 14.
Walking among the ruins of Wangchuan, one rarely sees mutated creatures, only scattered living corpses and corpse-eating dogs. The real danger lies underground. The two of them are in a state of full success, so naturally they will not look for trouble.
Some underground spaces have obvious signs of exploration, such as dug vents, iron doors with wide open doors, bullet casings, grenade tabs, rocket tail fins, etc. all over the ground.
At nine o'clock in the morning, they met three groups of exiles. The number of people on both sides was about the same, and the packages were bulging, so they got along fine. Stay away and go your own way.
At one o'clock at noon, the two climbed up to a higher place to have lunch and discovered a strange place.
Looking from a high place, there is a circular open space several kilometers away. In the middle of the open space is a house with a red roof and a large neon sign on top. But it's daytime now, the lights are not on, so I can't see what's on it.
Outside the red house there are equipment similar to oil storage tanks and generators. There is a large well in front of the house, and behind it is a courtyard-like place planted with bamboo.
"Could it be the Arakawa Hotel you mentioned?" Chen Xing asked.
"It's really possible." Big Cat squatted on the edge of the building and said while eating compressed biscuits, and then asked, "Would you like to stay for one night?"
"What if it's a black shop?" Chen Xing asked.
"That's right. It's better to hurry up and go back to the safe place to rest." The big cat sighed. After working hard for many days, I feel a little tired. Who doesn’t want a hot meal, a bath, and a good night’s sleep.
While the two were talking, a small black dot appeared at the edge of the clearing, moving slowly towards the red house.
Chen Xing was eating peanut elbow rice. Da Mao picked up the telescope and looked at the red house.
"Hey, why is it a woman?"
The big cat made a confused sound. Women are rare in a place like this, and women walking alone are even rarer. The male-to-female ratio in the Black Death Continent is unbalanced. Women can just hide in safe houses and engage in sex trade. Beauty doesn’t matter, as long as they are female.
