Chapter 149 Admission
Hu Xian stuffed the gold note into his pocket and said, "We agreed that this is extra work. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I will collect the commission afterwards."
Chen Chuan said: "It should be."
Hu Xian said, "Okay, or how can I say that I like you, brother? You know how hard it is for us to make a living, so I'll arrange this for you."
Coming out of the room, she walked downstairs to the room below, found the middle-aged man, and told him what Chen Chuan had just asked. The man asked, "Did you agree to it?"
Hu Xian said, "He pays me, and I do the work. This doesn't violate the rules of the assessment. The higher-ups told me to cooperate with the assessment students as much as possible, so am I not cooperating with him now?"
The middle-aged man looked upstairs and said, "I hope he knows what he is doing."
Hu Xian said casually, "It's just a daring investigation. Do you think he would just do it? Don't be ridiculous. This guy looks very cautious, but he's not that kind of person."
The middle-aged man thought about it and agreed.
He believed that Chen Chuan should use this transaction to get to know and observe Quanshi and his team up close, and by showing his face once, he could also let the other party preconceived his identity, and there must be a follow-up plan afterwards.
This approach may seem dangerous, especially since Boxing Lions are notoriously unruly, but there is no need to worry at this moment.
Because Boxing Lion is now looking for buyers everywhere, and this matter is related to whether this group can successfully enter the Land of Chaos and gain a foothold, so it is impossible to kill the buyer now, otherwise who will be willing to trade with him?
Of course, there are all kinds of people in a chaotic place, and there are people who appreciate their behavior. But people like Quan Shi just don't like to follow the rules, which doesn't mean he likes others to not follow the rules.
The middle-aged man expressed his admiration for Chen Chuan's bold yet cautious approach, believing that this was the quality a student applying for the Unlimited Defense Certificate should possess. Considering that this student was only a first-year Wu Yi student, his evaluation should be raised even higher.
After Hu Xian left, he took out a file bag from the cabinet behind him. Inside was a record document about Chen Chuan's assessment trip, but most of the content was still empty.
He took out a pen, uncapped it, and carefully wrote down his thoughts and comments. After thinking for a while, he added a sentence at the end, saying that such students deserve attention and increased training.
It was evening, and Chen Chuan was carefully wiping the Xuejun Knife in his room. There was a knock on the door. He sheathed the knife and said, "Come in."
Hu Xian pushed open the door and walked in with a cigarette in her mouth, but she didn't light it. She glanced sharply at the Xuejun Knife on the table, then looked at Chen Chuanshuo: "I've contacted you. The gold note has also been handed over to Quanshi. They decided to meet with you tomorrow."
Chen Chuan said: "What time tomorrow?"
Hu Xian waved her hand and said, "No, they said to wait for their news. But I think, the meat bones have been thrown in front of them, and their noses can smell it. They can't help but look for you at night. This is not their style."
Chen Chuan thought about it. Indeed, this group of people were obviously in urgent need of cash. Now that they knew he had money and was right next to him, they were not in a hurry to see him. It was indeed a bit strange.
He said: "Ms. Hu is very experienced. I don't know why they made this choice."
"Are you sure you want to ask me..." Hu Xian thought for a moment, "I think they've probably found other buyers, so they're thinking of bringing the two groups together to raise the price."
Chen Chuan pondered for a moment and said, "That makes sense."
Hu Xian said, "What do you say? Are you going tomorrow?"
Chen Chuan said in a relaxed tone, "Since the time has been set, let's go and take a look tomorrow."
Hu Xian took the cigarette out of his mouth and said, "Even if you're just going to take a look, you still have to be careful. Do you need anything to bring? If you need anything, you can tell me."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Ms. Hu, do you have any smoke bombs?"
Hu Xian perked up and said, "Smoke bombs? Yes, we have them. What type do you want? Fog curtain type or colored smoke type? Do you want one with added ingredients? I guarantee it will block Ran Xiaoli's nose!"
Chen Chuan said, "Let's go with the latter. How much is it?"
Hu Xian said, "One fifty-dollar coin, no credit."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Give me four."
"What? Don't you think it's expensive? Why don't you bargain?" Hu Xian glanced at him.
Chen Chuanyu said sincerely, "I'm unfamiliar with this place, and I don't know where to buy these things. Ms. Hu's ability to provide them to me is already a huge help to me."
Hu Xian waved her hand and said happily, "Okay! Since you're so forthright, I'll buy two and get one free. I'll give you two more!"
"Thank you, Ms. Hu."
Hu Xian said, "Do you still need guns? I have rifles, pistols, and submachine guns."
"I'll bring it myself."
"That's fine. You're just going there to negotiate a deal, and you can't bring big guys in. Come find me if you need anything." Hu Xian waved his hand and walked out, closing the door behind him.
Chen Chuan waited for her to leave, then sat back in his chair. He unsheathed the Xuejun Knife and continued to oil it for maintenance. Now, as he gripped the hilt, he could feel the subtle vibrations, like the rhythm of his breathing.
As he entered the second limit, he felt that his connection with the Xuejun Sword had deepened. Every time he swung it, it would become lighter and sharper. This lightness was not the kind of floating feeling, but as his strength flowed through it, it gave him the most suitable feel for the moment, as if it was a part of his body.
At this time, he looked towards the window and found that white snowflakes were falling.
It's snowing.
He looked back at Xue Jun's sword. His figure was now reflected in the bright and shiny blade, with a cold light.
It's supposed to be cold tomorrow.
After Hu Xian came down from upstairs, he met with the middle-aged man again. After the latter clarified that Chen Chuan only needed a smoke bomb, he confirmed his previous judgment in his heart. This time Chen Chuan should be going to check it out, and using a smoke bomb to escape is indeed convenient.
However, as an auditor, no matter what the students do, he must try to observe them when they choose to contact the assessment targets so as to keep good scoring records.
In a four-story house more than 300 meters away from them, the team leader "Boxing Lion" Katu was listening to the report from one of his followers.
He has a strong physique, with thick chest and back muscles holding up the tight vest. The muscles exposed outside are clearly defined and have a very solid feeling, as if they are filled with rocks. The hair on the back of his head is combed into small braids, which look wild and untamed as they sway.
"Boss, you can't be wrong. Mr. Bluebird from the Land of Chaos always keeps his promises. He said he would come to check out the goods tomorrow, and he will definitely come."
The two-bodied figure, Tochi, sat on a square stool, looking like two people standing back to back. The one at the back was boredly playing cards, while the one in front stared at the minion and said dissatisfiedly, "He didn't give you any deposit or anything like that?"
The lackey replied awkwardly, "No." He was just an errand boy. How could he have the guts to ask a boss from the Chaos Land for money? It was already a good thing that he could come back in one piece.
Ran Xiaoli, the bee girl, sat on the sofa to one side. She said, "Boss, it seems that the business introduced by the fox fairy is more sincere."
Boxing Lion remained silent. He said to the henchman, "Well done. Go get your pay."
Although he always breaks the rules, he is very generous to those who work for him, because he knows that these brothers are the capital of his survival. With these brothers, he can trample on those annoying rules.
"Thank you, boss." The minion left happily.
Boxing Lion looked at Ran Xiaoli, "Did the person introduced by Fox Fairy say he would come tomorrow?"
"I just replied and said I'll be there tomorrow."
"Then let them clash and see who's more sincere." A malicious look appeared on Boxing Lion's face. He said, "I don't know where this person came from. If he's not strong enough, we can still eat him. We're in need of a property here, and I think the Fox Fairy's territory is quite good."
"That fox fairy looks pretty good." A few minions said a few words, and the others laughed obscenely.
Ran Xiaoli reminded: "To be able to open a shop here, the fox fairy's background is not simple."
Tuoqi said disdainfully, "Isn't it just that he has an old relationship with 'Da Ma' from the Chaos Land? I already found out about it. Da Ma has been busy lately and can't reach out here. Once the boss contacts that person, it's not certain who will be favored by whom."
At this time, Quanshi reminded Ran Xiaoli, "Where is the stock? Modulate it to the awakening state. It may be useful tomorrow."
"Boss, it's by the window." Ran Xiaoli pointed to a box on a table in the corner.
Boxer said, "Watch closely."
"Don't worry, boss, I'm watching." As a sudden voice was heard, a piece of the wall was actually separated from there. When it came out a little, everyone found that it was a person, but the color on his body almost blended with the wall, and no one present could see it.
Ran Xiaoli was very unhappy. "Damn it, Song Zhi, you pervert, you're at it again. Don't let me see you where I shouldn't see you."
Those minions seemed to have thought of something and started to chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" Ran Xiaoli looked around, a cruel look appeared on her pretty face. Her eyes suddenly became narrow and long, and it seemed that many pupils were flashing in them, which made people's scalp numb.
Those minions suddenly dared not say a word.
Ran Xiaoli glanced at the Boxing Lion with a deep look in his eyes. If it were in the past, she would definitely have blown a few people's heads off on the spot, but the Boxing Lion was very caring towards his subordinates and would not allow them to be killed casually, so she could only endure it for the time being, thinking about finding a place to vent her anger after this business trip was over.
Boxing Lion then grabbed the drugged drink from the table and drank it in one gulp. With a light grasp, he crushed the metal cup in his hand and said, "Tomorrow's business is more important. Let's all go back. Don't make a fuss tonight, or you'll be exhausted by then."
"Yes, boss!" The minions quickly dispersed.
The next day, Chen Chuan got up early, washed up, changed into a windbreaker suitable for traveling here, put on a scarf, and filled the water bottle he carried with him.
He opened the box and took out a small box of medicine.
This is what Cheng Zitong was talking about. It's some prepared marching powder. It's not for ordinary people, but for some combat experts in the army who are carrying out special missions. It can replenish missing nutrients and quickly improve combat effectiveness. Because it is a mature product, the side effects are not serious.
There is also a phone number on the medicine box, which tells you who to contact if you have any questions.
He was not going to use these now, but he put them away and prepared to carry them with him. Then he sat there, slowly guiding his breathing, adjusting his own state while waiting for notification from Hu Xian.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, Hu Xian knocked on the door and walked in. She saw Chen Chuan sitting at the desk. He was wearing an ochre scarf and a light brown windbreaker, with a long sword placed beside him. The bright sunlight from outside the window came in and shone on him, and there was a sharpness in the deep silence.
Her eyes lit up unconsciously, "Tsk tsk, Brother Chen, you look really smart in this outfit."
Chen Chuan raised his head and asked, "Is it time?"
Hu Xian nodded. "We're here. I came to tell you. If you're ready, we'll set off right away."
Chen Chuan stood up, took the Xuejun Knife in his hand, and said, "Let's go."
