The pyramid scheme organization began its operation at night, recruiting people to become slaves.
On the other hand, Flamingo, who was supposed to mortgage people to work on the territory while she went out to run offline retail business, ultimately did not mortgage these pitiful and injured mercenary companions. Instead, she chose to go to the various entrances and exits of Misty City once a day to start selling goods.
After several days of accumulation, they had accumulated over a hundred gold coins.
Black and White Whale were about to leave with the gold coins when they were stopped by someone.
"Our commander would like to have a word with you two!" The black and white whale and the flamingo exchanged a glance, both seeing wariness in each other's eyes.
They haven't been selling much these past few days, and they've been changing their entrance and exit every day or two. They never expected to be targeted like this.
"Don't worry, both of you. Our leader is very easy to talk to. He just wants to discuss buying the goods you have!"
Seeing that the two men hadn't moved and seemed to want to escape, the newcomer was somewhat helpless. There were too many double-crosses in society these days, so it was no wonder that some people were unwilling to believe it. He took out his military order.
"We are the advance force of the regular army, here to scout out the situation in this misty city."
Oh, this? He understands. The advance force is actually a suicide squad. They go to the Misty City to scout out various locations, find out what resources are available, and then the main force returns to loot the resources.
The reason they stopped him was simply to buy some supplies to save their own lives.
The suicide squad is composed of either soldiers who have made mistakes or vicious criminals. The person in front of me looks like... he should be a soldier.
Since we're talking business...
The black and white whale said bluntly, "You know the price, right? Steamed buns and seaweed rice rolls are the same, eight gold coins each!"
The soldier opposite nodded.
"We know, but we need a lot, so our group leader would like to discuss with you whether we can offer a group purchase price?"
***
Since it was a vanguard suicide squad composed of regular soldiers who had made mistakes, Ah Jing breathed a sigh of relief and went along.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw several scarred men with tattoos sitting on it.
How could a soldier have tattoos?
This is clearly a death squad composed of vicious criminals!
Ah Jing glanced around and realized that the only person who looked like a regular soldier was the one who had come to speak. Damn it! He'd been fooled by appearances!
Who understands this?! Family, aren't regular troops and criminals always at odds? How come they've teamed up as a suicide squad?!
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to say that they were canceling the deal when he saw the scarred man throw a bag of gold coins over.
"There are three hundred gold coins here. How many can that buy?"
Ah Jing opened it and saw the golden imperial coins. He took one out and bit it. It was indeed real gold and silver, and it even had the portrait of the founding emperor of the empire on it!
He tightened the bag and looked at the burly beastmen around him, some bears, some tigers. This was a deep pit of jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards!
However, he and his sister are also mercenaries who have weathered many storms. If the timing is not right, they can rush out, and his sister, as a flamingo, can grab him and fly away into the sky.
"As you know, we sell either rice balls or steamed buns for eight gold coins each, which increase stamina and health respectively. If you want a lot, how about seven gold coins each? Three hundred gold coins can buy more than forty. You can choose between steamed buns or seaweed rice rolls!"
The people inside fell silent.
The conman, who looked like a con artist, said, "Our advance team has three hundred people. These forty-odd are definitely not enough. We need to prepare at least one hundred. Can the price be reduced a bit more?"
The burly men inside looked at Ah Jing with hopeful eyes. These people were nothing like he had imagined! He thought they would threaten him with force, but he didn't expect them to look at him like this.
He gritted his teeth: "Six gold coins is the lowest I can go. This is already the cost price. I'm just doing this for the labor of finding connections for you, this is practically the price for a porter!"
They were already quite satisfied with getting the price down to six gold coins in the Misty City, considering that in the main city, the minimum price for this item would be ten gold coins.
They have six gold coins each, and they currently have enough gold coins to buy about a hundred more, which they can use to save their lives.
"Then let's order a hundred!"
"Consider these three hundred gold coins as a deposit!"
A deposit of 300 gold coins, with a final payment of 300. This is a big order, but this order can only earn 100 gold coins.
Never mind, I'll just consider it a good deed and help them!
With that in mind, he prepared to return to his territory and discuss it with his esteemed lord.
Inside, after Ah-Qiong and Ah-Jing left, everyone else looked at their leader.
"We only have six hundred gold coins, and we spent them all on food. What will we do now?"
"Why don't we raid this place and take some stuff with us!"
"All the looted supplies need to be scanned and handed over. You think you can just take them away yourself?"
"The main city is truly despicable! They want us to be suicide squads again, without giving us any money to save our lives. We even have to pay, contribute our own money, and risk our lives to be their advance troops!" This is truly outrageous!
Scarface gritted his teeth: "As long as we finish this mission with the suicide squad, we won't have to wear these electronic handcuffs anymore, and we'll be completely free! So tell the brothers to sell everything they can, and we'll stock up on steamed buns and seaweed rice rolls. After this, we'll be free!"
They took out all their gold coins, hoping to buy more supplies, and they didn't want to sacrifice their brothers' lives for freedom!
