Chapter 88 Chapter 88 Finding the Location of the New Monster Fish
"Are you stupid?" Shi Fang sighed helplessly, as if looking at his own foolish child. "If I really had any bad intentions, why would Sister Chang think of asking me to do it first?"
Although it’s not nice to say this, Shifang really thinks that Zhang Rui is the dumbest person in their team.
Don't underestimate Zhong Yuan, she's a complete scoundrel. If she hadn't been constantly following Yu Jianyi around like she was doing research, the entire team would have been in trouble under her.
But recently I heard that her research with Brother Yu seemed to have made some progress. Oh well, we will definitely have to deal with each other a lot in the future.
It was just a one-time offense when she was testing the waters. Why would the little girl hold such a grudge? Shifang sighed silently, observing a moment of silence for his own youthful ignorance.
Turning around, seeing Zhang Rui's unconvinced look, he sighed deeply and explained, "Do you think someone who was chosen by Brother Lu, who risked the team's suspicions to bring him in, would be anything less than cunning?"
"In other words, have you ever offended Sister Chang? Look at those people in the market who have offended Sister Chang. Are they still here? Aside from those who left long ago, are those who are still here doing well?"
Hmm... Zhang Rui nodded silently. She might not feel anything when talking about herself and her team, but when talking about the market, her IQ would suddenly increase.
After counting the people who initially failed to recognize Chang Ruijia, Zhang Rui was surprised to find that the situation was almost the same as what Shi Fang said!
Although Chang Ruijia herself did not make any big moves, the material resources she controlled represented a kind of energy. Sometimes, just a small move was enough and countless people might charge forward for her.
Seeing Zhang Rui's sudden realization, Shifang shook his head and suppressed the words in his heart.
In fact, from his point of view, Chang Ruijia probably didn't trust them completely yet, and was still wary of everyone.
But this is not a bad thing. In today's world, anyone who really reveals all his cards is a fool.
Oh, except for big fools like Zhang Rui.
Everyone tries to keep as much as possible, and we are not close friends. Sometimes, one more trump card means one more hope of survival.
As long as she has no bad intentions towards the people around her, why should she ask others to be completely honest if she is not even completely honest herself?
For example, other people have no idea about the contact list on Lu Baian’s phone.
As long as he has this contact list, Lu Baian will always have this unique resource in his hands and will always be the core force of this team.
Of course, as a team, even if Lu Baian really lost something, they would always follow him. This was the consensus they reached at the beginning of the team's formation.
This is another part of his personality.
Zhang Rui might understand all of this in the business world, but if it applies to other people in the team, there is no need to explain it so clearly.
Shi Fang's thoughts were in turmoil. On the other side, Zhang Rui figured it out. Looking at the smile on Shi Fang's face that inexplicably made people feel Qian Zhu's smile, he snorted with some reluctance.
"What you said makes sense, but you are wrong on one point..."
Seeing the smile on Shifang's face replaced by curiosity as he wished, Zhang Rui said something slowly and paddled away on the floating object.
"At first, you might have been indifferent and just followed us. But now, if we ask you to treat those people in front of you as nothing, will you?"
Will I? Looking at Zhang Rui's back as he left, the smile on Shifang's face slowly faded.
Suddenly, his mind recalled the smiling faces of those who passed by and watched his aunt's laughter when he and Zhang Rui were joking around, and the trust on the faces of those guards who followed him every day...
Scenes and smiling faces slowly flashed through my mind. These were people I didn't pay much attention to on a normal day, but at this moment they were firmly filling my heart.
"Oh……"
A light laugh suddenly came from Shifang's mouth, and the hand that fell on his side slowly stroked his slowly beating heart.
It turned out that without realizing it, he had already kept many people in his heart, and he was slowly changing.
But… the hand that was resting on his chest slowly clenched into a fist, and the smile on Shifang's face turned serious once again. Perhaps his heart had indeed begun to open up, but it would only accommodate those who were worthy of being accepted.
His thoughts would not change at all. Anyone who harmed the interests of the team and the safety of those around him was not worth spending any more time on.
After confirming his thoughts, Shifang's smile returned to his face. Looking at the figure that had already drifted away, he shouted, "Hey! Why don't you walk so fast? Wait for me!"
…
The situation was not yet critical. Although they knew that they had powerful weapons such as engines and propellers, Chang Ruijia and Lu Baian agreed that they should not be too ostentatious.
But they never expected that the distance that Lu Baian said was relatively short would require the two of them to take turns rowing on the sea for a whole day.
When he met the traveling merchant who delivered the message to them the next day, Lu Baian could hardly control his temper.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that you are quite far away from me," looking at Lu Baian's slightly darkening face, the merchant touched his head embarrassedly.
Obviously, Lu Baian had complained to him yesterday after failing to see the finish line again and again, so his first reaction was to admit his mistake.
"Alright, alright," Lu Baian knew in his heart that he couldn't be blamed for not giving the exact location. He could only blame the fact that there wasn't even a single marker on this broken sea surface, so how could he convey the distance? "Can you give me the exact location this time?"
"Of course," the merchant nodded quickly, stepped forward ingratiatingly, and sent the address from his phone. "As soon as I received your letter, I immediately came to the area where we met last time. I'm sure I'll have the exact location this time."
"I'll trust you just this once," Lu Baian nodded, slowly zooming in on the location the other person had marked on the self-made map on his phone. "If it's not accurate again, your credibility with me will be gone."
"Hehe, I promise there's nothing wrong," the merchant rubbed his hands and looked at Lu Baian with eyes full of expectation and flattery. "By the way, Mr. Lu, the supplies you traded to me last time, do you think you can still…"
Hearing the words of the traveling merchant, Lu Baian subconsciously looked up at Chang Ruijia. After all, most of the goods that could be traded in the market were purchased from Chang Ruijia.
But unexpectedly, Chang Ruijia, who was on a floating object, seemed to have not heard their conversation at all, and there was no abnormality on her expression.
Come to think of it, Lu Baian's thoughts suddenly changed. He traded so many basic supplies with her every day, which obviously meant that they were not just for the market's own use. He must be familiar with their business.
Lu Baian, who had perfectly answered his own questions in his mind, turned around and continued to talk to the traveling merchant about the subsequent material exchange.
What Lu Baian, who was immersed in "foreign trade", didn't know was that Chang Ruijia had heard their conversation a long time ago, but she didn't know as much as he imagined.
Simply because she's lazy.
Chang Ruijia had a calculation in mind. Given the seemingly endless supply reserves at the Kan Yi Dao Mall, the points that could be exchanged for the monster fish in the vast ocean must be endless.
Not to mention that the levels of monster fish that can be caught now are no longer as low as those at the beginning, so the points required to exchange for basic supplies are not too many at all.
But having it is one thing, and being willing to go out and exchange it with others is another.
Asking her to face the peddlers and merchants in other markets, and having her mind filled with all kinds of business matters every day like Zhang Rui in the team, is simply torture.
Now, if you join this market that you have personally visited, you don’t have to worry about the hard work of exchanging money, and you can enjoy a semi-relaxed life. Why not do it?
Not to mention, the safety of this market is obvious to all, which is one of the important reasons why she was unwilling to leave the market and escape alone.
The two people had different thoughts and opinions, but their ultimate goal was the same.
After Lu Baian and the traveling merchants agreed on the temporary transaction quantity, he turned around and waved to Chang Ruijia, then headed towards the target location at full speed with extremely graceful movements.
Only after he could no longer see the traveling merchant did he wipe his face, smile, and walk forward to take the oar.
"I'll do it, I'll do it," Lu Baian took Chang Ruijia's place, glanced at the location on the map, and began to mark it with all his might. "Isn't this just to conceal your identity? I resorted to this desperate measure, please forgive me."
"If that guy knew you were the supplier of all the supplies, you wouldn't have many peaceful days left. You don't know how much that guy can cling to people..."
That's obvious. Chang Ruijia nodded silently, having no objection to Lu Baian's idea.
Even though Lu Baian didn't show any special gestures to her just now, that guy still kept looking at her from time to time while they were discussing cooperation.
The huge floating object, the comfortable tent, and the fact that she hadn't suffered much...
If Lu Baian hadn't stopped them in front, the traveling merchants would have come over to ask about her background.
"Okay, we've known each other for so long. Do you think I'm the type who cares about so many people?" Chang Ruijia waved her hand and stopped Lu Baian from continuing his explanation.
"That's definitely not the case," Lu Baian shook his head. But to act like this in front of others, there had to be an explanation.
Otherwise, what will happen if I feel uncomfortable?
Finally, after the two of them talked and laughed and explained for a long time, they rowed the floating object to the direction marked by the tour guide.
But before they could confirm the accuracy of their location again and again, a group of people who had already stopped on the sea ahead confirmed the authenticity of the traveling merchant's words for them.
"It seems that this should be what we mentioned before, that a group of people from other markets were seen catching monster fish in this sea area."
Looking at the group of people in front of him stopping their actions and their eyes suddenly turning towards him, Lu Baian retracted the oars onto the floating object, stood up and said in a deep voice.
