Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 85: Communication is basically based on shouting
After getting Xiao Tanzhi's affirmative answer, Tang Zheng nodded and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped: "By the way, I actually have two pieces of news that I want to tell you."
Xiao Tanzhi smiled and said, "It's good news and bad news. I'm used to hearing the bad news first."
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have any bad news to tell you. I have two pieces of good news. First, I have found the body of the Taihao Wheel. Unfortunately, it is broken, but I have found the Bailian Workshop to repair it. Second, I have also found all the materials for the Butterfly Zombie Gu, so the Butterfly Zombie Gu will not be a problem."
"After we solve the problem of Xu Qingyan's worsening injuries this time, all that's left is the Star-Locking Stone, and you can start to wake Xu Qingyan up."
Hearing these two pieces of good news, Xiao Tanzhi nodded, but he did not show any surprise. He just reminded calmly: "Don't forget, these are not the most difficult parts. The most difficult part... is the Six Paths Heavenly Array. Even the Purple Gold Emperor has not been able to do this. Do you think you can do it?"
Tang Zheng smiled but didn't say anything. Chao Xiao Tanzhi bowed and walked out of the valley directly, turned around and rode away on his horse.
This time, the place Tang Zheng was going to was much farther than Tianyi Valley. If a five-star expert was not unable to fly long distances, Tang Zheng probably wouldn't even want to ride a warhorse and would directly try to fly in the air all the way.
Ideals are full, but reality is skinny. Tang Zheng finally chose to ride a horse. When he arrived at the destination, the three snow-covered war horses that were said to be able to travel a thousand miles a day had all lost weight.
"My name is Tang Zheng. Please pass on the message that I have important matters to discuss with Du Qixi." Tang Zheng dismounted and spoke politely to a soldier guarding the mountain at the foot of the mountain.
Compared with the simplicity and naturalness of Tianyi Valley, all one could see along the way were doctors hurrying back and forth, dressed in uniform and simple clothes, with solemn expressions.
As soon as he entered the sphere of influence of the Purple Gold City, all Tang Zheng could feel was two words : prosperity.
Even before he entered the core area of the Purple Gold City, the feeling this city gave him was far more prosperous than any other capital city he had ever seen. Even the metropolis he lived in in his previous life could not compare to it. After all, in the streets of his previous life, there were no camels with purple gold bits running on them, and there were no pegasus horses with white jade saddles flying in the sky of his previous life...
The painting style here is almost as dreamy as the elf capital in the game of his previous life.
The only difference is that here there is not the sophistication and elegance of the elf city, but more luxury and vitality.
The Zijin Du family is very easy to find.
The Purple Gold City is built on the mountain, and the whole city is shrouded in a huge star power magic circle of "Golden Mountain Purple Dragon Sucking Ten Thousand Wealths". It gathers wealth, defends, and shows power. It is a three-in-one formation, killing three birds with one stone.
The Du family was built on the Golden Mountain, where "the purple dragon of the golden land attracts all wealth". From the foot of the mountain to the top, one climbs up the steps. Each step represents an industry that is completely controlled and monopolized by the Purple Gold Du family. On the top of the mountain, the most powerful descendants of the Du family live, overlooking the entire Purple Gold City and watching merchants from all over the world coming and going from afar.
As time went by, countless purple gold was left in this prosperous city and also in the purple gold Du family's treasury.
Now, Tang Zheng was standing at the foot of the Jinshan Mountain in the Purple Gold City, bowing and speaking to a member of the Du family's mountain guard army stationed here.
Unfortunately, Tang Zheng's politeness did not elicit the other party's enthusiasm.
The soldier guarding the mountain just glanced at Tang Zheng indifferently without even answering. He just raised his eyelids and nodded his chin behind Tang Zheng.
Behind Tang Zheng, there was a long queue. Everyone in that queue seemed to be a wealthy person. Most of them were probably wealthy businessmen who wanted to seek cooperation with the Zijin Du family or to establish a relationship with them.
"Little brother, you have come to visit the Du family on purpose, right? Everyone has the same purpose, so you should just line up honestly. Don't brag about Haikou. If you want to make money, you can find anyone. Find Young Master Qi Xi? You can tell at a glance that he is a rookie. Even if you brag about yourself, it's not the right way..."
"That's right. Didn't you see that everyone is queuing up obediently to enter the mountain? Do you think you have more money and a bigger business than us, so you can cut in line..."
The two middle-aged businessmen standing behind Tang Zheng looked at Tang Zheng and advised him with a smile. There was no malice in their tone, but there was a look of looking at a rookie in their eyes, which could not be hidden.
Tang Zheng sighed softly and thought to himself, I really am richer than you all, but no one would believe me even if I shouted it out.
There was such a long queue waiting to go up the mountain, which was almost similar to the New Year's Day mountain worshipping Buddha he had seen in his previous life. But on second thought, there was actually no difference. In the eyes of the people of Xingyao Continent, the Zijin Du family was a living God of Wealth.
There was probably no room for negotiation with this group of merchants who were only interested in making money and considered themselves as one of them. The mountain guards faced either wealthy merchants or tycoons every day. I'm afraid the Du family also had very strict discipline. The plan of throwing purple gold directly in his face and asking him to let himself go was not very reliable.
However, if you really want to queue up behind this line and wait, it will take a long time.
Du Qixi is a person who prefers to be active and dislikes being quiet. He doesn't spend much time in the Purple Gold City. If Tang Zheng had not met Du Qixi during the last dream mirage incident, and knew that Du Qixi would stay in the Purple Gold City for a few days to rest for some time and then set out again to find his stories and pendants, he would not have gone straight to the Purple Gold City after leaving the Tianyi Valley.
If he delayed for too long, who knows what would happen, that when he just got up the mountain, he found that Du Qixi had just left, and the two of them passed each other by.
Moreover, Tang Zheng had already given Xiao Tanzhi a three-day deadline, and given Xu Qingyan's injury, he didn't have much time to waste.
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng could only sigh slightly, regretting that he had not been able to develop and research something like the mobile phone with Ning Mo, so that now, there was only one way to communicate - basically relying on shouting.
Tang Zheng took a few steps back, away from the merchants and the mountain guards. Just when everyone thought that this rookie who knew nothing but bragging had finally learned to retreat, they saw Tang Zheng taking out a loud speaker made of purple gold from his bag.
Before everyone had time to feel curious and amazed at this strange golden thing, they saw Tang Zheng's star image light up, and eight stars in the five life palaces gradually lit up.
"Five-star expert?..."
"One, three, five, three double stars in one palace..."
"Not only are they twin stars, they're also fucking evil stars. Oh my god, who is this young man?"
However, Tang Zheng had no time to pay attention to these merchants who were about to drop their eyes to the ground. He just took a deep breath, and a large amount of star power in his body poured into the star power acupoints in his lungs, and then he shouted: "Du Qixi, Tang Zheng is calling you to come down the mountain for dinner--"
A huge sound wave created a huge wave, which suddenly swept towards the mountain from the huge purple-gold speaker. The merchants who were standing next to Tang Zheng just now, whose strength was below the peak of three stars, could not even stand steadily and were blown away by the strong wind caused by the sound wave.
In the blink of an eye, only a four-star beginner merchant was left. He was blown to and fro but could barely stand still. And the four-star beginner mountain guard soldier who didn't even bother to say a word to Tang Zheng, his helmet had flown away and only his long hair was left, disheveled in the wind, looking innocent.
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you make trouble at the foot of Zijin Mountain!" Tang Zheng had just finished shouting when countless stars lit up at the same time in the mountain guard camp. A middle-aged warrior with five stars on his body and a wealthy appearance suddenly flew out like an old crane and landed in front of Tang Zheng. At the same time, a large number of warriors rushed out of the mountain guard camp and quickly surrounded Tang Zheng.
Faced with such a tense atmosphere, Tang Zheng bowed to the accompanying warrior and said, "I am Tang Zheng, a good friend of Du Qixi. I was a little anxious because I failed to meet my friend. Please forgive me for my noise just now. I will book the best restaurant in Zijin City tonight to calm you down."
The middle-aged warrior saw Tang Zheng's calm demeanor and bold tone, and then saw the incomparably strange Taihao Wheel constellation and the shocking Five Palaces and Eight Stars behind him, and his eyes lit up: "Tang Zheng?! The top genius of the Leng family's Yisu Academy, Tang Zheng?!"
Hearing the words of the middle-aged warrior, Tang Zheng's mouth twitched. What kind of words are these... What does "top brand" mean? Yisu Academy is an academy, not a brothel. If you say top name or number one, it's fine...top brand, that's used to describe the most beautiful courtesan, okay...
However, he had important matters to attend to, so it was inconvenient for him to look down on the Du family's literary accomplishments. He could only force a smile and said, "Yes, I am the top student of Yisu Academy. Tang Zheng, may I ask if Young Master Du Qixi is here?"
Before the middle-aged warrior could answer, he heard a loud laugh from the top of the mountain: "Yes, of course I am here, haha, Tang Zheng you are such a funny person, I have had many friends visit me over the years, but this is the first time I have seen such an interesting way as yours."
“Convenient, fast, and fun… Well, this method is worth promoting.”
Just by hearing this unique voice and unique insights, Tang Zheng knew without looking up that it was Du Qixi who came down in person.
This guy really hasn't forgotten this friend whom he only met a few times. A smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face.
However, the middle-aged warrior who seemed to be the leader of the Du family's Purple Gold Mountain Guards became a little stiff when he heard that Du Qixi wanted to promote Tang Zheng's "knocking" method.
Tang Zheng saw the middle-aged warrior's expression, smiled slightly, and said to Du Qixi who had walked in front of him: "It's okay, I have a more interesting way to knock on the door, called 'pager', but I will talk to you in detail about this later. This time, I came to borrow something from you."
