Cordell, his combat power is actually not weak anymore. This guy, who wore glasses like Wu Hui and a silver watch on his hand, was the strongest presence besides Wu Hui. I fought with the enemy for a long time in the village, and I was able to survive in the end.
It seemed that he had just used the special power of the watch to awaken Wu Hui.
The boss seemed to realize that the child he had saved was not a simple person, and immediately went up to fawn over the little boy.
But Cordel just drank water calmly, then looked at Wu Hui and asked: "Are there no other living people in the village?"
Wu Hui shook his head: "At least I didn't find it."
"So... I'm homeless. You are not with these traveling merchants, right? Take me in." Cordel was so mature that he didn't look like a child at all. Negotiating conditions in front of Wu Hui: "I ask for better treatment, including playmates of the same age, food and accommodation, and the supply of extraordinary power."
"Anything is fine." Wu Hui said, "There is a school in my camp."
Cordell nodded, then looked at the traveling merchant: "You saved me, so I will help you on the way. It's a way of repaying your kindness."
The traveling merchant did not say anything like before that he wanted Cordell to work as a bully for ten years to repay the favor of saving his life. It's an absolute honor to save you.
All I can say is that this guy changes his face quite quickly.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Wu Hui's level was equivalent to that of all the traveling merchants' guards combined. Cordell is worse than him, but he is definitely better than the traveling merchant's men.
This is the person he needs to curry favor with.
A strong person is like this in any world and will become the target of people's pursuit. It's just that sometimes what is strong is wisdom and power, rather than pure combat power.
"My name is Cordell."
"Nossa."
The meeting and communication between the two people no longer have anything to do with the traveling merchant boss.
Along the way, Cordell did some things for the traveling merchant boss, including finding traces of bandits and identifying a village that had problems selling goods. It can be regarded as repaying his kindness for picking her up.
Of course, to be honest, even if he lay there for a while, nothing might happen. Therefore, the traveling merchant boss only provided him with ordinary help, not a real life-saving grace. Wu Hui's favor for helping him avenge and kill all the members of the Doomsday Sect is relatively large.
So I arrived at Black Rock City and paid off my debt. Wu Hui took Cordel and left.
Wu Hui now has sixteen gold coins on him. The purchasing power of one gold coin is equivalent to about 50,000 yuan when converted to earth. A total of 800,000 yuan seems like a lot, but it is really just a start-up capital for the construction of the territory.
If nothing else, if you go to the city to buy a slave with all limbs, it will cost you one gold coin.
Once the medicinal materials are planted in the camp and the bronze processing plant is established, we can have a stable income of more than ten gold coins every month. That's a good point. But now Wu Hui has to race against time to start making money as early as possible.
First, all the gold coins were exchanged for firewood, leaving only two. After a while, the Lord of Blackstone City would probably restrict the exchange.
A large increase in the price of firewood is to be expected. Then Wu Hui threw the information written on three pieces of paper to Cordell: "I want you to help me find the moment when the Highlanders Chamber of Commerce's slave truck defenses are weakest."
Although Wu Hui can analyze it himself, he still has to test Cordell's level. Besides, it would be a waste to have such a labor force that is not used.
Kid Cordel didn't say anything. He seemed to have no objection at all to Wu Hui's attempt to rob the slave truck and started working directly.
Information is combined in his mind, reasoning is done.
Capturing traces and analyzing the truth is Cordell's talent. He is good at extracting the whole picture from the details. Wu Hui can't compare to him in this regard.
Of course, when it comes to layout, planning, and construction. Cordell is definitely no match for him.
"Here." Around the afternoon, Cordell completed the work Wu Hui told him: "If you want to take action, this place is the most suitable. There will be absolutely no support within an hour, and the slave traders will most likely disperse. Take a break."
Wu Hui looked at the analysis written by Cordel and expressed satisfaction. Wait, then use two gold coins to resell something in the city, and also wait for the opportunity.
Recently, the Highlanders Chamber of Commerce has not had a slave transport team come back so soon.
"Have you figured out how to run away after robbing the slaves and how to bring the people and goods back?" Cordell couldn't help but wonder in the end. Wu Hui's behavior gave him an unreliable feeling.
"Don't worry, the escape method is prepared first." Wu Hui said.
That's fine... Cordel won't say anything more. He also believes that his value is enough and Wu Hui will not sell himself casually.
The enemy is not weak, but there are only two of them. Wu Hui naturally had to plan carefully.
As I said before, he is a person with flexible moral bottom line. Moreover, robbing slave traders would not be an unacceptable thing no matter what.
He robbed it and took it back to be used by ordinary farmers. As for killing slave traders, it is a good thing no matter how you think about it from a moral point of view.
In the city, food is relatively plentiful. It's not like a small village in the countryside, where every day is just a little bread and meat. The only seasoning is salt. Quite tough.
Perhaps as Wu Hui, he would be better off if he directly joined Black Rock City. But that's not what he wanted.
Next, there are three goals. The short term is what needs to be done immediately, robbing slaves, purchasing and hoarding firewood. What needs to be done in the mid-term is to expand the Wudian camp, and the minimum expectation is to build a town of 2,000 people. The highest expectations were to replace Black Rock City after the civil unrest.
The long-term goal is naturally to figure out the most appropriate development direction for mankind in the future.
Let the light shine on the earth again.
Or adapting humans to the dark.
This long-term goal is so far away that Wu Hui doesn't even bother to tell others. He himself only has a vague idea and analysis, without any specific plan.
After all, although he has a long-term vision, his current strength is still too weak and he knows very little. Any plan is a fantasy.
At least become a lord and have contact with various forces of the light sect and the dark sect. to make the right choice. Wu Hui's short-term goals and mid-term goals are all serving the final goal.
In the past two days, it is basically impossible to make much money with two gold coins. At least it's impossible to do serious business, so you can try it in a casino.
He doesn't gamble on luck, he either relies on his calculation ability or his fortune. And you can't win too much, otherwise you will be blocked by the casino owner. The goal is to earn five to ten gold coins, which can then be exchanged for firewood.
At the current rate of increase in fuelwood prices, it will at least double in a month. Whether you keep it for yourself or sell it for money, you will definitely not lose money. As for the drawings of some buildings, the price of firewood will gradually decrease, so you can wait for a while before purchasing.
