Watching the short man's departing figure, Su Qing shook his head repeatedly. The young man was really outrageous. It was already so late, yet he was being told to leave quickly. Where would he stay tonight if he left?
Ignoring the other person's well-intentioned advice, Su Qing turned over and continued sleeping.
The next day, as soon as it was light, Su Qing got up and tidied up the bedding.
There was no way to sleep comfortably with the tail wrapped around my waist.
The door was pushed open, and as soon as Su Qing stepped out, she immediately saw the two people guarding outside.
A tall man with a face full of fat, and a short man who looked to be quite young.
The person who notified him last night must have been this short guy. He looked very thin and dark-skinned, as if he was malnourished, and he was trying hard to put on a stern face.
"Thank you for watching over the door for me last night!"
Su Qing looked at the two men with gratitude, while the tall and short men suddenly felt insulted.
What do you mean by "guarding the door"? They're not dogs!
The tall man, who already had a fierce look, now had an even more gloomy expression, while the short man's expression didn't look good either.
Su Qing turned around and went back into the room. She reached into the basket and took out two small glass wine glasses.
"These are for you!"
Su Qing spoke up very generously.
Among the four baskets of goods he brought were many glass products. These things were not valuable to him. If it weren't for the need to temporarily maintain the high-end luxury image of glass, he would have already expanded production capacity and promoted glass windows, mirrors, and the like.
However, it will be soon. I believe that some dedicated people will soon be able to crack the glass manufacturing method. At that time, Su Qing will use a large amount of high-quality and inexpensive glass to flood the market, and then launch new luxury ceramics.
The tall man and the short man stared at the two glasses in their hands, both frozen in place.
The glass in my hand is of a very ordinary design, without any decorative patterns or carvings, but its crystal-clear appearance makes it clear that it is quite valuable.
After realizing what had happened, the two quickly and carefully placed him in their arms. The taller man smiled and said, "You're too kind. How did you sleep last night? Would you like me to get you something to eat?"
Although he lived in a remote and impoverished area and had little experience, he had recently heard that there was something more expensive than gold called glass.
It feels cool to the touch, crystal clear, and more magnificent than the most beautiful gemstone.
Although he hadn't looked at it closely, he felt that it was similar to the legendary glass.
If it's real glass, then the two of them will be rich.
"No need to be so polite!"
Su Qing waved her hand and looked around. In those simple rooms, some people had already come out and were eating something that looked like black powder.
Some people are more particular and cook the dark powder into porridge, but it doesn't look very appetizing.
With just one glance, Su Qing could roughly estimate the number of people in the village.
There were fewer than two hundred people, about half of whom were strong men, and the other half were some thin, weak, elderly, women and children.
When the fat, homeless merchant refused them, the two men didn't mind at all; in fact, they were relieved because they didn't have much food to eat either.
However, more than that, they wanted to know if what they had received was glass.
The two men looked at each other, and the shorter man couldn't hold back any longer: "Sir, is this...is this glass?"
Su Qing nodded at him with a big smile, and the two felt a surge of excitement upon receiving a positive answer.
With these two pieces of glass, they could exchange them for gold coins, and their whole family would no longer have to live a life of uncertainty about where their next meal would come from.
They might even be able to move to the city if they get enough gold coins.
There are cities in the wilderness, controlled by some powerful forces.
Although it was called a city, it was actually a large village surrounded by rammed earth and gravel.
The living conditions and safety there are far superior to other places, but living there requires paying exorbitant protection fees regularly.
The wilderness is not impoverished, but that is only true for the upper levels of the wilderness.
The eldest son in their village, for example, gets to eat meat at every meal and occasionally drink alcohol.
For them, just surviving is difficult enough; those without labor capacity may even starve to death because they cannot get food.
In short, the Wilderness is a highly polarized place, much like the Chaos Territory.
Just like how they obtained two pieces of glass and didn't hand them over, if the boss found out, their fate would definitely not be pleasant.
At best, they'll lose a hand or foot; at worst, they'll be killed.
What Su Qing gave away was both a treasure and a death warrant to them.
The shorter one was young and naive, and hadn't realized this yet, but the taller one was no fool.
I know, the next step is either to hand over what I have to the boss, or to keep the news a secret.
He was unwilling to give it to the boss, but if he didn't, once the boss killed the fat man and found the glass, he would definitely suspect that the two of them had stolen it.
The tall man's face was gloomy and uncertain. He was definitely unwilling to hand over this treasure, and he also knew his boss's stingy nature. At that time, he would at most reward him with some food.
Otherwise, a fierce glint flashed in the tall man's eyes. This fat man must have a lot of glass on him. With these treasures, why couldn't he be the boss?
Her breathing suddenly became rapid, and her body trembled with tension, excitement, and trepidation. Even the short man next to her noticed something was wrong.
