Mr. Zheng didn't understand the situation at first, but he quickly realized, good guy, is this a blatant attempt to grab business?
He took two steps forward and was about to say something, but Qin Bai turned his head. Although there was a smile on his face, there was a hint of threat in his eyes.
Mr. Zheng had goosebumps all over his body, and he instinctively felt fear. He might have been drunk during the previous conversation, so he didn't notice anything unusual about the other party.
Looking carefully, this man is full of ferocity. Without a hundred and eighty lives in his hands, it is impossible for him to exude such evil energy. I am afraid I can only admit that I am unlucky.
Qin Bai turned his head and continued to communicate with the other party.
He had a very good plan. He had a compass obtained from the magical power of fishing, and the required resources could be purchased from the Points Mall at any time. There would be no trouble in the desert.
Lieutenant General Gao Xiang was still hesitant, and it was not until Qin Bai took out the scholar's documents that he agreed.
When he was about to give a few words of advice, he suddenly saw Qin Bai's expression change in front of him, and then the conversation changed.
"but……"
"Actually, what I'm better at is finding various resources in various harsh environments and utilizing them. If you don't mind, I'll be responsible for the food in the army."
"ah?"
Gao Xiang was stunned, what was going on, but after thinking about it carefully, it did make sense. However, food in the army was the most important thing, and it still needed Wang Sheng's approval.
"Then do you recognize any sand explorers?"
Seeing this, Qin Bai suddenly pointed to Zheng Laocai not far away: "He is right there. He will be responsible for guiding the direction in the desert. The two of us can better ensure the safety of the border patrol."
Zheng Laocai nodded subconsciously. He was in a state of confusion from beginning to end, and his scalp was numb from this man's slutty moves.
Qin Bai talked with Gao Xiang for a while, and after bragging about his cooking skills, he got up and walked towards the temporary military camp, where a military tent was vacated for him.
Of course, the border patrol had not yet marched and could also stay in the inn in Jinshawan, but Qin Bai could not leave easily and simply stayed there.
Gao Xiang and Mr. Zheng looked at each other in confusion. After a long time, the former said, "Do you recognize this person?"
"He..." Mr. Zheng was so stunned that he couldn't help but hold back two words after a long time: "We know him."
"Then this desert..." Gao Xiang felt that his brain was a little exhausted, so he simply took Mr. Zheng towards the military tent in the center of the military camp.
"Forget it, come with me, I will ask the general to question you."
Zheng Laocai followed behind him anxiously, and the two of them walked to a military tent guarded by two soldiers. Gao Xiang waited outside for a moment before opening the curtain and walking in.
The light inside the military tent was not bright. There was a table with candles lit on it, and a man was sitting on a chair looking at a map.
The man is full of heroic spirit, with a three-dimensional face, especially a pair of sharp eyebrows that reveal the sharpness in his eyes, and a powerful body.
When Gao Xiang saw him, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted respectfully: "General, this man is a sand explorer."
Although he is known as a general, in fact Wang Sheng is just in charge of a border patrol force. His official position is not big, and all he does is thankless things.
He nodded slightly and waved his hand towards Mr. Zheng, signaling him to come over.
"Look at this map, can you find where the bandits go?"
Mr. Zheng calmed down. He thought about it and said, "Back to the general, there are several oases in the desert, but the bandits are definitely not among them. It should be somewhere nearby and close to the business road."
This group of sand bandits has been entrenched in the desert for several years, but they have never disturbed Jinshawan. They only attack many caravans passing through the desert outskirts, like maggots attached to the bones.
Wang Sheng asked a few more questions, and the other party answered them one by one. He nodded with satisfaction.
His eyes stayed on the map for a moment, then turned to Mr. Zheng and said, "Okay, then I will leave the guide of the desert to you."
"I will try my best." Zheng Laocai imitated Gao Xiang's clasped fist salute, although it was a bit nondescript.
Wang Sheng said to Gao Xiang, "Accompany him to buy some supplies. This is our first time marching into the desert, so we need to be more careful."
Gao Xiang responded immediately, but he did not leave with Zheng Laocai. Instead, he hesitated to say something.
"What's wrong?" Wang Sheng asked in surprise.
Gao Xiang touched his head and replied: "Well, the journey to the desert this time will take several months. Our army has no experience in preparing food in any kind of environment, so we hired an experienced... cook. "
"That's fine." Wang Sheng agreed and sent two people to help prepare the food. He was not afraid that the other party was not kind.
Gao Xiang remembered Qin Bai's previous words, and then added: "That person is a bit unusual, his name is Qin Bai, he has a reputation as a scholar, and he speaks some words that are incomprehensible, what a Michelin chef, and What kind of state banquet level..."
"He is in the military camp now?" Wang Sheng's tone was a little strange, as if he was thinking of something.
"Yes, I sent someone to arrange it in the military tent in the northwest corner."
Wang Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look when nothing happens."
After Gao Xiang resigned, he left the military camp with Zheng Laocai. They planned to go to Jinsha Town to purchase some supplies. After all, they would have to march immediately after just a few days of repairs.
At this time, Qin Bai was already packing his belongings in the military tent, while the donkey was tied outside.
He tried to keep a low profile. The golden hammer had already been put away, as had the fishing rod.
After doing this, Qin Bai felt that there was no big difference between himself and normal people.
When he entered the military camp, the system prompted him with the next task.
The mission required Qin Bai to stay with the army for five years, but he unlocked a lot of achievements during this time, and this time was compressed to more than ten months.
I believe that it won’t take more than a few months if I actively unlock achievements during my travels to and from the desert.
Moreover, the check-in task is much safer than that of Lanruo Temple. When Qin Bai saw the name Wang Sheng, he had already realized that he was clearly the male protagonist in the movie.
There are only two demons appearing in the movie from beginning to end, and going to the desert this time can completely eliminate the danger. I just hope there won't be too many variables.
In addition, the requirements of the mission were a bit different, which caught Qin Bai off guard.
"Sign-in location: Border Patrol, sign-in task: cooking."
Blacksmithing, fishing, cooking, there's no telling what weird quest requirements will appear next.
Fortunately, this time he brought a lot of ingredients and kitchen utensils with him, so the check-in task had already begun, unlike the time at Lanruo Temple where he had to make fishing rods.
The Points Mall also unlocked the "Cooking" column, but it was a little different.
