Chapter 20: Strike First



Li Fu and Song Mingqian, both covered in dust, emerged from the woods, one dragging a wild rhinoceros's ear.

The wild rhinoceros was half a man's height, with a bloody round hole on its head, which was caused by Xia Chujian's blow just now.

When the two of them came out, they saw Xia Chujian standing in the clearing in the forest, dressed like a ball, with hot smoke coming out of the muzzle of the submachine gun in his hand...

This shows how cold the weather is.

"It's our first meeting. I know you are an accurate shooter, but you shouldn't show off your skills to this extent..." Song Mingqian shook his head, looking like he had lost all hope in life.

Li Fu blinked, then suddenly laughed and gave Xia Chujian a thumbs-up: "Chujian, you really saved us a lot of trouble! Look at how the gun went! It all hit the forehead! Those four big teeth weren't damaged at all!"

Xia Chujian had only seen wild rhinoceros ribs and some blurry pictures on the Star Network before.

This is the first time I have seen the true appearance of a real wild rhinoceros.

This wild rhino has four protruding snow-white tusks and looks nothing like an ordinary farmed pig.

"Huh? Why are its four big teeth protruding?" Xia Chujian walked over curiously, half squatted down and carefully examined his "battle fruits".

Li Fu waved his hand. "That's why it's called a rhinoceros! It has the same characteristics as a rhinoceros, but it has two more tusks. Let me tell you, those four big tusks on a wild rhinoceros are extremely valuable! One tusk can sell for a thousand Beichen coins!"

Xia Chujian's eyes lit up: "Ah? One tusk sells for one thousand Beichen coins?! Then four of them would be four thousand Beichen coins?!"

She instantly thought of her neighbor Aunt Chen...

According to her observation, Aunt Chen goes into the Monster Forest almost once a month.

She would "pick up" at least one wild rhinoceros every time, so she would earn at least 4,000 Beichen coins at a time, not including the money from the wild rhinoceros meat.

Aunt Chen’s husband’s monthly salary is only 500 Beichen coins.

Aunt Chen earns much more than her husband!

But she had heard Aunt Chen's husband beat and scold her more than once, saying that since she ate and drank his food, she should let him beat and scold her...

Could it be that Aunt Chen was cheated by an unscrupulous merchant when selling black rhinoceros?

Xia Chujian asked doubtfully, "Master Fu, are you sure a tooth can be sold for a thousand Beichen coins? Can it be sold for so much?"

Li Fu nicknamed himself "Fu Ye", but unfortunately his teammates didn't buy it and refused to call him Fu Ye. They all called him "Xiao Fu Zi" and "Xiao Fu Zi".

Now hearing Xia Chujian actually call him "Master Fu" is like eating the finest Beichen Star milk jelly ice cream in the dog days of summer, or eating the tenderest barbecued black rhino ribs in the cold winter!

Li Fu's face was beaming, his voice as sweet as honey. "Xiao Chujian, you've never done this kind of business before, have you? Let me tell you, these 1,000 Beichen coins are the official price. Go to any jewelry store and bring out an intact wild rhinoceros tusk, and the lowest price is 1,000 Beichen coins! If the quality is good and the tusk is large, you can sell it for 1,500 to 2,000 Beichen coins!"

"Is it really that much money?" Xia Chujian's eyes rolled and he quickly calculated.

One black rhinoceros can earn at least 4,000 Beichen coins, and ten black rhinoceros can earn 40,000 Beichen coins.

The house she sold was only worth more than 30,000 yuan.

My aunt's hospitalization expenses are only over 10,000 yuan a year.

So just killing ten black rhinos is enough to cover the cost of a house, or four years of hospitalization!

Xia Chujian made a decision instantly. After this mission was over, she planned to do the same as Aunt Chen and secretly come to the Exotic Beast Forest to catch black truffle wild rhinoceros!

But Li Fu seemed to see what Xia Chujian was thinking. He shook his head and said, "Don't make the wrong calculation. This black truffle wild rhinoceros only lives on the edge of the exotic beast forest near the far north. It's a million miles away from Mulan City!"

"For our mission this time, we can use this kind of combat aircraft with advanced power sources to fly here."

"Once the mission is over and you've returned the aircraft, how will you get here?"

"Our team's combat aircraft is powered by conventional engines and cannot sustain such a long flight."

"If you do the math, the travel expenses alone aren't worth it."

Xia Chujian: “…”

Although Li Fu saw through Xia Chujian's thoughts, she was not angry.

She now had only one thought in her mind.

If the black truffle wild rhinoceros only lives so far away, how does Aunt Chen get a black truffle wild rhinoceros every month!

Aunt Chen is an ordinary housewife with no job. How could she possibly borrow a small-scale controlled nuclear fusion-powered aircraft?!

If she had this ability, she would not live in such a bad house and be beaten by her husband so often.

It doesn't make any sense...

Xia Chujian thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

Aunt Chen must have her own secrets anyway, so why would she want to pry into other people's secrets?

That's it.

Xia Chujian collected his thoughts and looked at the black truffle wild rhinoceros. He said meaningfully, "Since we're here, should we go out and clear the area? This wild rhinoceros has four long tusks and looks fierce. For our own safety, we should strike first!"

What the hell is the “strike first and gain the upper hand” strategy!

Song Mingqian was quite straightforward and didn't understand what Xia Chujian meant. He subconsciously said, "This kind of wild rhinoceros is a vegetarian. It mainly feeds on black truffles. It won't hurt people..."

Xia Chujian's face darkened, and he stared at Song Mingqian sternly, "You're giving me money! Are you absolutely certain that a wild rhinoceros won't hurt anyone? Even if it's a vegetarian, wouldn't you get hurt if it used its four large tusks to push at you?"
