Chapter 174 Big Shot
Birdman!
The information did not mention that this guy was actually a cyborg.
Wang Teng walked out of the hall and flew into the sky. His speed was so fast that an afterimage appeared and he disappeared into the distant horizon in an instant.
In the hall, Wu Zhonggui looked unhappy.
"Forty million... that's really too much..."
It's not difficult to come up with this amount of money for such a big coral city.
But this number far exceeds the value of a human head.
After the news gets out, there will definitely be many people who doubt Wu Zhonggui's ability to do things.
Sijidao was even more embarrassed. He didn't say a word the whole time. He was like a transparent person and was directly ignored by Wang Teng.
The other party didn't even look at him.
The one who really stole the show was the useless Su Xia.
"Forty million, you agreed so readily!" Sijidao looked at Su Xia fiercely, "This kind of thing is not as simple as just saying it. What are you thinking?"
"This carambola tastes good, with just the right amount of sweet and sour."
Su Xia ignored the four-season rice as usual, looking relaxed, and continued to enjoy the free fruits here.
Sijidao was furious. He walked forward with clenched fists, intending to follow Wu Zhonggui's example and knock over the fruit platter in Su Xia's hand.
But he had just taken two steps when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his knee.
"grass!"
Here we go again!
Sijidao looked down at the two poisonous needles in his legs and trembled with anger.
He hurriedly used both hands to support the long table in the reception hall to support his body so that he would not kneel down this time.
At the same time, he took out the third-level antidote he had asked for from his teacher, opened the seal, and drank it all in one gulp.
The antidote took effect quickly, and the severe pain in my legs gradually subsided.
"Alright!" Wu Zhonggui stopped Sijidao from taking the next step. "Go back. It's time to get the people in the propaganda department to take action."
"yes."
Sijidao took a deep breath, loosened his clenched fists unwillingly, and suppressed the anger in his heart.
He didn't know how many times he had to tolerate it, and the anger and frustration accumulated in his heart were growing more and more.
He is still waiting...
Once he gets the location of the joint camp and wipes out more than a dozen resistance organizations in one fell swoop, his status will skyrocket. By then, the offensive and defensive situations will change, and he will make sure Su Xia has no foothold in Coral City.
"Su Xia, aren't you planning to go back?" Wu Zhonggui asked when he saw that Su Xia had no intention of taking action.
"Well, some of my friends are training here." Su Xia replied, "I plan to go see them. You can go back first and don't have to wait for me."
"Okay then!"
This was exactly what Wu Zhonggui wanted.
He now feels annoyed when he sees Su Xia's face. He thinks out of sight, out of mind. He even hopes that Su Xia will take a few days off.
"Wang Yongqiang, let's go!"
In this way, Wu Zhonggui took Sijidao away from the town hall and got in a car back to the city.
And Su Xia stayed here.
In the corner of the hall, the boxes of gold, silver and treasures were not used.
Wang Teng had been here for a long time and naturally knew that these boxes of treasures were prepared for him, but he didn't care about them at all and only asked for cash.
This time he gained both fame and fortune.
As long as he can kill the masked man, he will not only get the 40 million from Coral City, but his reputation in the mercenary organization will also be raised to a higher level. Perhaps he can take advantage of the situation to incorporate part of the organization and form a huge mercenary empire.
"The sincerity of your boxes of treasures is still not enough." Su Xia walked to the corner and kicked open a box at random. The shining gold and silver light almost blinded his eyes again.
But it's just for viewing, most of the crystals, gems and the like are not very valuable.
Silver in this world is also very cheap, even cheaper than on Earth.
Only a few gold products are truly valuable.
The mayor looked embarrassed and whispered, "Sir, our town has not had a good time in recent years. If it weren't for the logging camp and several processing plants, the young people in the town would have left long ago."
“Is it difficult?”
"Alas, the taxes have been getting higher year by year. It's really ..."
The mayor sighed, his expression complicated, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
After all, Su Xia is an official from the city, his position is unclear, and no one knows what he will say when he returns.
Considering his identity, the mayor did not dare to reveal too much.
Su Xia said, "Are you born and raised in this town? I see you really want to be an official in the city."
"If we go to the city, we can at least take care of our town." The mayor said honestly, "Sir, it's really hard to be alone in the city, you should understand."
"Oh, I see."
Su Xia still knows a little about the ways of the world.
The mayor lowered his attitude and opened the other boxes of treasures. He asked carefully, "Sir, do you have anything you like?"
"oh?"
Su Xia laughed. This person actually wanted to get close to him.
But he usually was too lazy to take care of things, so he was bound to disappoint this guy.
The mayor’s idea was very simple. If there was a chance, he would try it. If there was no chance, forget it. He wouldn’t lose much anyway.
Wang Teng had said before that this young official was promoted personally by the Mechanical City Lord Yu Tuo, and that he dared to openly oppose his superior Wu Zhonggui. As long as nothing goes wrong, he will definitely have a bright future.
It is best to establish a relationship with such a person as early as possible.
"Keep it. I'm not interested in money."
Su Xia smiled faintly, picked up a fruit plate, walked out of the reception hall, and planned to go to the lumberyard to see the members of the Bikini Bottom team.
The mayor hurriedly called a group of staff to follow him.
Some people were keeping watch on the surroundings, some were carrying other fruit plates, and some were even holding umbrellas to shield Su Xia from the not-so-bright sunlight.
He looked like an ancient minister visiting the local area.
The mayor guessed Su Xia's intention and asked, "Sir, do you want a car for you? The lumberyard is still some distance from here."
"Okay, prepare one."
Su Xia did not refuse and stood by the roadside waiting quietly.
…
In the lumberyard far away from the town of Baimu, the noise of sawing wood never stops all day long.
The old truck left deep and shallow marks on the road, and there were wood chips everywhere.
The workers built temporary sheds on both sides of the road to rest.
The nearby forests had been completely cut down, leaving only wooden stumps, like stubborn scars on the earth.
Monsters appeared in the mountains and forests farther away, and they were very difficult to deal with, so the administrators here allowed a large number of players to enter the forest to hunt those tricky creatures.
"call out--"
A wooden arrow flew through the jungle and pierced straight into the eye of a wild boar monster.
The monster roared, and the hair on its body stood up like steel needles. It rushed forward and rushed madly towards the direction where the arrow came from.
"Hold the monster, and shoot a few more arrows and it will be fine!"
The captain of the Frozen Cross, Bing Lei, shouted and organized the players in the team to cooperate in the battle.
He stood in the front, his equipment was covered with scars, his arms were pierced by the monster's hard hair, and his health bar was only one-fifth left.
The iron shield in his hand was covered with scars and dents, and looked like it would fall apart at any time.
Bing Lei took out a second-level potion and drank it in one gulp.
“Gurgle gurgle…”
This was a healing potion made by Hong Bafu. With his psychic talent, it had a 17% increased efficacy, instantly restoring Bing Lei's health bar to more than half.
With the concerted efforts of their team, they quickly brought down the level 18 wild boar monster.
They had a clear division of labor. Immediately, members of the low-level team rushed forward to skin the wild boar, while the high-level members stayed on the spot to recover and organize their equipment.
"Now we have enough money for potions, but the money for repairing equipment is still the biggest expense." A team member sighed: "This crappy game is too difficult. I have been playing for so many days and have not saved much money. I don't know when I can start making money."
"Don't worry, our level is high enough now."
Bing Lei smiled and said, "Except for those guys in the Oasis Camp who are using cheats, we and the people in Bikini Bottom are the highest level. There will be more and more novice players in the future. We can make a lot of money even if we just sell discarded equipment. This game has a future. We need to be patient."
Another team member said: "That morning, a mysterious person suddenly took out a large amount of gold coins to impact the market. I don't know who can make so much money in a short time."
"It should be money from gray channels. Let's just ignore it and develop steadily..."
In the Frozen Cross team, one-third of the players are from professional studios, so the overall online rate is very high for a long time and is not much weaker than the Strange Castle team.
They sat there, talking and laughing, chatting about the future in the jungle halfway up the mountain.
The realism of the game Looking Up at the Stars is the point that received the most praise, and players have benefited a lot from it.
When you're running freely in the jungle, you really forget you're in a game.
Most people in the real world live under high pressure and have been lingering in narrow and cramped steel and concrete cages for too long, and have forgotten the feeling of freedom.
"Look over there, it looks like an important person is coming."
A member pointed to the road far down the mountain, where a convoy of vehicles was passing.
In the past, there were only big trucks going back and forth on that road, dragging their rusty and old bodies to transport various types of wood.
"Let's go down and take a look. It's a good opportunity to repair our equipment."
Bing Lei waved his hand and called a group of core members to go down the mountain.
Today, the Frozen Cross team has more than two hundred members and is quite powerful. Its overall combat capability is no weaker than some weakened old-line gaming guilds.
On the way down the mountain, they ran into Snow, the captain of the Sixth Heaven.
Snow also happened to be bringing a group of core members down the mountain to repair equipment.
The two sides walked together all the way down.
In a temporary settlement at the foot of the mountain, there are people selling and repairing equipment, as well as merchants selling potions, food, temporary accommodation, etc. There are also a large number of open spaces where players can trade freely.
The convoy escorting Su Xia stopped next to this base.
The mayor got out of the car first and opened the door for Su Xia.
This scene surprised Bing Lei and others who were far away.
"The person who made the mayor open the car door is a big shot from the city?"
They have been leveling up here for a while and would occasionally go to the town for a stroll, so they naturally recognized the mayor's face.
When Su Xia got out of the car, they were stunned.
"Damn it, it's Pharmacist Su!"
