They are all experienced wilderness people who do what they are told. At noon that day, several people took Chen Xing's bus to hang the skeleton and conduct on-site inspection.
Preliminary plans came out quickly.
Build a five-star hotel for tourists to stay and rest, and plan 30 acres of land as a zombie paradise. Dig several deep wells and build a small diesel power station for supply.
The total investment is about 200,000 gold coins, and the construction time is about two years. Chen Xing checked his bank account.
[Gold held: 10 gold, 0 silver and 0 copper (cash), 620,219 gold, 2 silver, 8 copper and 3 cents (bank)]
There are also more than 600,000 gold coins. If he holds 70% of the shares, he will have to pay 140,000, which is not a large amount of money for him. If it can be developed, it will have a profound impact on the future of the three towns. Black Snake was eager to give it a try and even offered to take a share.
As the saying goes, things get easier when there are more people, and money cannot be earned by one person. The three mayors readily agreed.
Next, the four signed a letter of intent and established the Zombie Paradise Co., Ltd. Chen Xing served as the chairman, Bert served as the park's preparatory affairs officer, An Bixi served as the hotel's preparatory affairs officer, and Black Snake served as the security affairs officer.
The first investment amount was 50,000 gold coins. The four people contributed according to the proportion of the shares. Chen Xing accounted for 30,000 gold coins, accounting for 60% of the equity. The remaining 40%, Bert and Anbixi each accounted for 1.50, and Black Snake 10%.
Then Chen Xing thought that the ruins of No. 65 Underground Survival Center could be used to create indoor projects such as adventure caves, haunted houses, escape rooms, and virtual gun battles, and he could make a lot of money.
The virtual technology in this world is very advanced, but virtual is always virtual and is never as exciting as personal experience. Sometimes returning to nature is also an option.
The mercenary leader turned into an amusement park tycoon and made a lot of money. This feeling is very good.
"We will become stars in Edge Town and gain unprecedented fame!"
“We have provided a new business model for the development of edge towns, which will surely go down in history!”
"No one will say that we are just a third-rate mercenary group, we are now the Paradise Guard!"
Things haven't started yet, but everyone has already fallen into all kinds of beautiful reverie, and the future is bright.
After the preparations came to an end, Chen Xing returned to Orchid Town. In a remote location, lightning appeared on his body and he teleported underground.
Ant tunnels are spread throughout the town, all reinforced with ant slurry, which is even harder than underground air-raid shelters made of reinforced concrete.
Deep underground, worker ants form a long dragon, taking turns transporting lumps of corpse. Su Na, who possesses human intelligence and learned simple assembly line operations, instantly increased the efficiency of the entire ant nest several times.
Large pieces of cut corpse king meat were dug out from the buried pits and cut into smaller pieces by soldier ants using insect sickles. The worker ants then passed them to each other and sent them to the storage room, where they were neatly stacked. Both work efficiency and space management have been improved several times.
The corpse king's crystal core is the size of an egg. Unfortunately, Su Na can't eat it and can only sell it for money. Compared to the creatures at the top of the food chain, mutated termites are still weaker. Alia, who has the blood of the Balrog, can directly eat the crystal core, but she can only absorb nutrients from flesh and blood. Maybe the legendary Star-eating Ant Queen can do it, but it is absolutely impossible at this stage.
The imprint of life is the biggest discovery of this era. The gene chain guides the formation of various types of proteins, while the life imprint guides the formation of various types of psychic polymers. The life mark of top creatures like the Balrog is so powerful that it can almost ignore the influence of other life marks.
And Chen Xingzai directly
After swallowing the crystal core powder of the insect-turned-wolf king, the life marks of both sides were evenly matched and devoured each other.
Only if the life mark of one party completely crushes the other party can it be directly swallowed without being affected.
"Did you study well today?" Chen Xing asked Suna about her study progress with her hands behind her back.
"I wrote ten new words silently this morning, and Sister Canglian praised me for being smart~" Su Na said happily.
"Study hard, or you will be punished." Chen Xing looked serious.
"Oh~" Su Na lowered her head, looking very well-behaved. She would never dare to resist her brother or anything.
After inspecting the ant nest, Chen Xing returned to his room, took a shower, and called Ye Qian and Li Mei to enjoy the massage while thinking about the next plan.
First, he had to go to Gray Corner City to ask his third uncle about the Devil's Pot. He also wanted to buy a house and shop in Gray Corner City, which was both an investment and a preservation of value.
Secondly, he had promised Old K before that he would find a way to redeem the Asashi mother and daughter from the Farrington Poli family. Now that more than half a year has passed, the attention of the upper management has declined, and there is hope that it can be redeemed at a low price, which can be regarded as returning old K's wish. However, in that kind of environment, they would probably go crazy, and even animals would probably live more comfortably than them.
A few days later, Chen Xing took an aeroboat to Gray Point City, accompanied by a butler, driver, maid, and cook.
Gray Horn City is one of the four major cities in the Red Dragon Principality, namely Monitor Lizard City, Dashanling, Gray Horn City and Crow City. Now that Crow City is gone, Crow Market is still under reconstruction and is considered one of the three major cities.
Gray Corner City is located in the northern wilderness. There were originally seven powerful families in the city, but the Yang family was destroyed by Chen Xing's design. Now there are only six major families left.
It is precisely because of this incident that Chen Xing has a bad reputation in the aristocratic circles of Gray Corner City. Although wealthy families usually fight openly and secretly, when encountering resistance from the lower levels, they will immediately vent their anger to protect the interests of their circle.
In order to conceal his identity, Chen Xing went to Ye Yang's home alone without taking anyone else with him.
Ye Yang Bailiu said that his third uncle likes to drink coffee when he is fair, so Chen Xing waits in a cafe near Ye Yang's house.
The cafe looked like it had seen some age, the white-painted walls were a little dusty, and the door frames and window sills were full of scratches.
However, these damaged areas do not give people an old feeling, but instead make it feel more relaxed and natural. The pure white tables and chairs, the red and white striped sunshade, the maroon roof and ancient window grilles, as well as the blooming roses under the window sill, all bring holiday comfort and tranquility to people.
Chen Xing remembered that his third uncle liked to wear a white dress and a white wide-brimmed hat, which was very similar to the color of this cafe. He was probably a regular visitor here.
"Hello sir, what would you like to order?" the waiter asked.
"Well..." Chen Xing pondered for a while and said, "I'll just order from your cafe."
"Huh?" The waiter was stunned.
"Call your boss, I want to buy your store." Chen Xing said.
"Ah, this, okay, I'll ask him to come out right away..."
Half an hour later, Chen Xing bought the cafe's operating rights and store property rights for six thousand gold coins. In Gray Corner City, the price is on the low side because this is the residence of the Ye Yang family, with a large family and a deep courtyard. The surrounding business is underdeveloped and there are very few pedestrians.
At half past three in the afternoon, an elegant-looking old man sat down on a wicker chair outside the store. He was wearing a white tuxedo, carrying a gentleman's crutch, and his every move was...
With the air of a scholar.
It is indeed a scholarly family, with young and old being all educated people.
This old man is Ye Yang Bailiu's third uncle, and the person Chen Xing wants to consult during this trip.
When the coffee ordered by the third uncle came, after taking a few sips, Chen Xing sat down opposite.
"Huh?" When seeing someone coming uninvited, the third uncle was slightly startled. It was probably some accident. How could anyone dare to be so rash on the Ye Yang family's territory? When he saw it was Chen Xing, he frowned slightly but didn't say anything.
"Third uncle, I would like to give you my regards, this junior." Chen Xing had a smile on his face, cupped his hands and held his fists in a very respectful manner.
The third uncle looked Chen Xing up and down with scrutiny. Then he remembered that this guy was sweet and smooth, and coaxed his two grandnieces around. He was immediately unhappy and snorted, "Who is your third uncle? I don't remember the family. There are juniors like this.”
"Third uncle, I'm Chen Xing. We met in Orchid Town the year before last." Chen Xing still had a smile on his face, pretending that he didn't understand what the other person meant. The elders of one's own woman must be fawned over and respected.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Although the third uncle still kept a straight face, he did not pursue the topic again. He half-squinted his eyes and observed secretly for a while, and was surprised to find that Chen Xing's spiritual energy fluctuations were very strong, and his strength was no less than him.
Recalling that the opponent was still an elite level more than a year ago, and it was an elite level with not very good talent, I was afraid that it would be difficult to make any progress in this life, but I did not expect that now it has been upgraded several levels, and it is already a big guard. It is really surprising.
Could it be that he used a hero potion?
Thinking of this, the third uncle couldn't help but admire him. Not everyone dares to try this. Only those with great perseverance, courage and determination dare to fight to the death. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. Either break out of the cocoon and live a prosperous life, or die and become a lonely ghost.
However, I thought that my eldest grandson and niece had already communicated with the earth fire, stepped into the realm of stealing fire, and was a great healer with a high status. In comparison, the Great Guard was mediocre, and still not worthy of his grandniece.
After thinking through the joints, the third uncle calmed down and said slowly, "You kid, you are ruthless. You will destroy the Yang family's hundreds of years of foundation at your own risk. How dare you come here?"
Although it is not a toad, it is still a wild wolf that wants to eat the flesh of a swan and must be guarded against.
"Third uncle, you have wronged me. The Yang family pushed people too hard. I had no choice but to do it..." Chen Xing said with an innocent face.
The third uncle looked up at the sky without making any comments.
"Third uncle, I heard that you don't have any hobbies on weekdays, but you like drinking coffee..." Chen Xing said as he pushed the acquisition contract of the coffee shop to the opposite side, "This is a little thought from the junior, please third uncle. Take a look..."
After a while, the third uncle slowly turned around. He was a little arrogant at first, but his eyes fell on the contract cover and he could no longer look away.
Even though the third uncle was well-informed, he was also shocked by this generous move. But he didn't know that in order to please his grandniece, Chen Xing even gave him a double-headed dragon king worth 50,000 gold coins, which was nothing compared to this cafe.
Finally, the third uncle closed his eyes, looked away, and asked calmly, "Why are you here this time?"
"I want to ask you some questions..." Chen Xing didn't mince words and asked directly to the point.
The third uncle thought for a moment and asked, "About that devil's pot?"
"Exactly!" Chen Xing cupped his hands and clasped his fists.
