The mountain tiger never messed with the master group.
Anyone who is well-informed knows that Chen Xing and his group are well-armed and well-equipped. The leaders are all elites, and there are also high-level elites. They are not something ordinary people can provoke. Just when the leader of the Mountain Tiger was feeling depressed and had nowhere to vent his anger, his subordinates brought back two thousand gold coins.
"Captain Chen said that the people who come out to hang out are all brothers. It is convenient for them to take care of each other in the future."
The leader of the mountain tiger is a white man, who is not as face-conscious as the yellow man. As long as the benefits are reasonable, he will happily accept it. Two thousand gold coins is not a small amount. For the mountain tiger, it is enough food, clothing, housing and transportation for one and a half months.
Sure enough, the leader of the Mountain Tiger was overjoyed and even went to the safety center in person to support Chen Xing's recruitment work.
One of Chen Xing's principles in life is not to make enemies easily. Even if he can satisfy the opponent now, he is not willing to use his power to overwhelm others and make the situation too tense. As the saying goes, leave a thin line in life so that we can meet again in the future. There is no guarantee that when he is in trouble one day, the other party will not add insult to injury. People always go down the wrong path. As long as it does not involve large-scale interests, it is always good to leave more good karma. Uniting as much as possible those who can be united is the best way forward.
But since he has to spend money to buy the road, why should he show strength at the beginning?
The reason is very simple. Only when the strength is equal can normal exchanges between forces be achieved. If Chen Xing comes up and gives money directly, Shan Dihu will think that the master group is weak and incompetent and easy to bully. This money will not be regarded as a favor, but will only be regarded as a protection fee given by the hyena to the lion. As for how much the protection fee is, of course it is up to them to decide.
But Chen Xing showed great strength and tough attitude, and the money turned into a favor, an olive branch extended by the lion to the hyena, a 180-degree change in meaning.
The news spread like wildfire, and legion leaders from all over the country came over one after another, inviting Chen Xing to recruit soldiers and horses in their territory, and earn some labor fees on the way.
As the saying goes, everyone piles up firewood, and after spending more than 10,000 gold coins, the size of the master group quickly expanded to more than 300 people. Team members who have experienced adversity together in the past have been promoted to team captains and deputy team captains.
For a time, Chen Xing was in the limelight. The image of being wealthy and generous is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Some of the legion leaders who had not benefited from their late arrival were beating their chests and feeling very upset.
By the end of winter, the master group's stronghold had taken shape. The crowd was buzzing, morale was high, and there was a faint tendency to replace the severely damaged Giant Ape Group and rise to one of the six major groups in the Black Death Continent.
By the beginning of March, the weather was getting warmer, and the ice picks stuck at the entrance of the cave gradually melted, and water droplets fell to the ground, making tiny splashes.
Seeing that the weather was getting warmer, Chen Xing led the team to Wangchuan, preparing to purchase the green-skinned flying dragon through Zhao Si. Accompanying them were Guihu, Cassie, Tutu, Lao Ji and three six-person combat teams, as well as a twelve-person logistics team. Da Mao and Wu Jinjian stayed behind at the camp.
The specifications of this team are very high. They have Guihu and Tutu for ultra-long-range combat, one for shooting and one for reconnaissance, Chen Xing for mid-range, and Cassie for close range. They can basically deal with all situations.
"Mr Qin, you are so kind to me. Squatting in the mountain den all day long, I almost turned into black wood. You know, black wood, the kind that grows on the mountains, is dark and does not bear fruit. , just like me, a happy single..."
Cassie seemed a little excited and chattered all the way. Chen Xing was very annoyed and embarrassed to shut up Cassie, so he had to find Lao Ji and let the two of them talk. It turned out that they were matched against each other. Both of them were talkative people, and they felt like they had just met at a late date. Chatting from sunrise to sunset was not enough. When we went to bed at night, we moved the tents together and continued chatting through the tent cloth.
"My hometown grows bananas. My father grows bananas. My grandfather also grows bananas. My grandfather's grandfather also grows bananas. When the bananas are ripe, we pick bananas and make banana salad, banana pie, and bananas." Cake, banana juice, canned bananas..."
"We grow rice in our hometown. Did you know that rice grows in water? The fields are full of water. We stand in the water and work, and sometimes we can catch frogs..."
The two of them seemed to have met a close friend and talked endlessly. Chen Xing originally thought that Cassie was just a bit verbose, but now it seems that he is as good as the radio. As long as you let him talk, he can talk non-stop for three days and three nights.
On the road, I met many groups who were out hunting in spring. When they saw Chen Xing and others, they stayed far away and did not dare to stay for a while. Ghost Fox's three-meter-long super-heavy sniper rifle is not just a display. Anyone who shows any signs of hostility will be mercilessly sniped.
This heavy sniper is the "Hunting Dragon" produced by Hongtu Heavy Industry, which is one level higher than the Hunting Elephant. According to different calibers, the sniper rifles produced by Hongtu Heavy Industry are divided into three grades, namely 7.62 for deer hunting, 12.6 for elephant hunting and 20.00 for dragon hunting. Further up, it's not a "gun", but a "cannon".
For example, the 25 mm caliber "Demon Hunter" sniper cannon and the 35 mm "Bayon Angel" sniper cannon. However, these two types of weapons are difficult to buy among civilians, because they can threaten the strong men at the defensive level and are controlled weapons.
A few days later, the team entered Wangchuan. Compared with the previous two times, Chen Xing's trip this time was like an outing. He didn't need to worry about safety issues, he could just enjoy the scenery.
Perhaps due to his different state of mind, when he saw the ruins of the city again, he felt a strange sense of beauty. Through the ruins in front of him, he seemed to be able to see the feasting and revelry of hundreds of years ago.
He couldn't help but think that if he had the chance, he must visit New Edo in the central wilderness. It was said that it was a paradise for money. The rich man's pure land of bliss, the poor man's hell on earth. Singing and singing every night, wine pools and meat forests, spending a lot of money, extravagant and lustful. Unimaginable luxury and depravity, countless princes and nobles lingered, countless wealthy businessmen went bankrupt, and countless boys and girls fell into the devil's cave.
For a long time, New Edo has been synonymous with gambling, joy, bliss, and depravity. He dragged a suitcase of gold coins in and came out naked. Even so, it is still hard to extricate yourself and flock to it, as if it is a paradise flowing with honey and milk, and virgins are lining up to wait for their blessing.
But because he had been poor in his last life, he never traveled to hell. Now that I have money, but no freedom, things are really unpredictable...
Three days later, the group arrived at the Arakawa Hotel located in the center of the Forgotten River.
"Oh, this place is not simple." Lao Ji suddenly said when he saw the red house in the distance.
"What's not simple?" Chen Xing asked.
"The four great chefs are Wangchuan Zhao Si, Fishing Boat Lao Jiu, Glacier Niu San, and Shazhou Melon King." Lao Ji stroked his goatee and said in a yin and yang tone, "If you haven't eaten their food, you are not considered a hero in the world."
"Then let's be heroes today." Chen Xing grinned and walked towards the Arakawa Hotel.
"Haha, okay!" Lao Ji followed Chen Xing, holding his head high.
