Returning ten years ago, with only two months left until the giant storm, Jing Shu began building her fortress, raising some endangered chickens, ducks, and fish, planting some vegetables that woul...
Chapter 415 The Lion Opens His Mouth
Look, a good con man doesn’t make people question you all the time when investing, but he demands you to give him money and you have to accept it. This is the method of a master con man.
"Dear Doctor, the most important thing right now is to get more people food. You have no idea how important the Water of Life you developed is! Please put aside the matter of Austin Castle and leave it to us. You only need to increase the production capacity of the Water of Life!"
Seeing that Dr. B did not want to go to such a dangerous place, many bigwigs started to persuade him and made various promises. Finally, Dr. B told them about his current difficulties.
Jingshu was like a transparent person in the corner, observing quietly without saying a word, just looking at the silent slave owner. Fortunately, Zhen Nantian did not come, otherwise he would have been exposed.
Dr. B asked everyone to be patient:
"Everyone, God sees your kindness and may your good deeds be rewarded. But there's another reason I still don't want to go to the crustal fissure. You understand energy conversion, right? Once the oil is used up, it's gone. The raw materials for the water of life there can be converted into about 8 million pounds (3,600 tons) of materials. I don't want to consume this energy point before finding the next resource point."
8 million pounds, Jing Shu touched her chin. Is this the amount of supplies that Dr. B and his men are going to take away? What a huge demand!
Although these supplies are not as much as a cargo ship, they are only enjoyed by Dr. B and a few others. They cannot be eaten up in a lifetime and are enough for them to live a comfortable life in the apocalypse.
In the third year of the apocalypse, these people still have such abundant supplies, which is really awesome. Look at the slave owner, he is the real hero. He brought the resources of a city to Austin and was robbed half of them on the way. Now he still lives a carefree life in Austin, but his face is full of hostility.
The farmers and directors present exchanged glances with each other, and saw extremely satisfied looks in each other's eyes. This figure was enough for them to get a share of the profits. Just think about it, if they invested 300,000 pounds of supplies, they would get 500,000 pounds of supplies in just a few days. Only a fool would not do it!
After repeated attacks, Dr. B finally gave in. "I have a few conditions. If you agree to them, I can take the risk and convert them for you."
"Of course, that's your right."
Dr. B extended his hand. "First, I need Austin to send no fewer than thirty people to protect me. They must be fully armed and have sufficient ammunition. After all, the situation over there is dangerous, and I must consider my own safety."
As soon as this condition was put forward, even Austin's director secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little hesitant just now, wondering how to send some bodyguards to monitor Dr. B, and then tactfully say that he could not leave Austin's sight. After all, Dr. B would still be very important to Austin. In addition, now that the Water of Life had been developed, Austin was even more afraid that Dr. B would leave, so Dr. B must be kept under control at all times.
Fortunately, Dr. B's armed forces are very weak. Apart from two assistants D, there are only a dozen slaves. With this amount of force, they only need to send a team of armed forces. Now Dr. B requires thirty people... That's fine, and safer.
The first one passed, and Dr. B continued:
"Secondly, I understand everyone's desire to obtain more food and supplies in this world. I can convert all of them into Water of Life, but I must first have the Water of Life convert all the seeds in the seed bank. After all, I haven't found the next resource point yet, and before that, I must ensure the healthy development of our Austin seeds."
Jingshu's heart was pounding. Here it comes! This is the benefit that Dr. B applied for her. It's great.
Austin's director hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much resources does it take to convert seeds with the Water of Life?"
"Not much, just like ordinary supplies."
Director Austin breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't have tens of thousands of pounds of seeds to accept. "Okay, I understand your good intentions, Doctor. You're such a kind person. I'll send someone to deliver the seeds when the time comes."
“Third, the preservation of the water of life
The shelf life is very short. In order to convert more materials and maximize the effect of the Water of Life, all materials must be moved in together and converted together."
No problem, it's not a big deal, everyone said they can accept it, so there is no priority, so as to avoid fighting over who goes first and who goes second.
"Fourthly, you have to send people to guard outside to protect these supplies. After all, there are many unknown creatures in that generation. If they smell the food, they will come to attack." Everyone is responsible for protecting their own supplies. There is nothing wrong with this. After hearing these points, why do people feel that the doctor is thinking about them?
"As for who will take how many tons of supplies and food, you can negotiate the proportion among yourselves. Anyway, I will only accept 8 million pounds of supplies, and I will only take 20% as a reward this time." Dr. B did not want any more supplies and food.
Look, I’ve become such a liar that I will only take this much money from you. I don’t want any more. You can decide how much each person wants to pay. I’m only responsible for collecting the money.
Everyone expressed their understanding and support.
"I need to borrow the vegetable drying equipment in the castle because I have a bold idea that needs to be tested there."
Jing Shu narrowed her eyes. This time, their mission objective was key! Would the other party agree? Or would there be additional conditions attached?
"Of course, no problem. I just don't know how many days you'll need it. After all, there are a lot of vegetables that need to be dried here every day."
The doctor mused, "It will only take two days."
"no problem."
Agreed!
It was so easy to agree! Great, Jingshu's seed bank and this goal will be easily accomplished! I can't believe I had to rob this thing before, how dangerous it must have been.
As expected, it's better to cheat than to rob, and it's better to have someone deliver it to your door than to cheat! Because Dr. B was so famous, no one would have thought that a man who could create such a magical thing as a focusing stone wall would make a device for dehydrating vegetables!
It's like a man who drives a million-dollar luxury car and has a million-dollar watch, but he would lend you 5 dollars and not pay it back! Who would have thought that he would spend the whole day trying to get money?
Dr. B acted like a coward and asked more people to protect him and monitor him. These actions made everyone feel more at ease.
Could it be that a guy with no fighting power could pull off some new tricks among hundreds of them? And even run away with thousands of tons of supplies? Just with just a few of them?
