Yang Cheng nodded and said, "I know. There are some things I shouldn't say, and I won't say them out loud."
While the other explorers had become numb to the tower's current state, these two still harbored some resentment, but unfortunately, it was of no use.
After watching Tang Huang and Duanmu Ci leave, Yang Cheng left the Explorers Corps and returned to the first floor.
Most members of the Explorers Legion are free to move around when they are not on missions, but very few of them stay on the second level.
Because the second floor, apart from the military barracks, was inhabited by civilian workers who had almost no recreational facilities.
On the contrary, although the first section of the first floor and several other sections were chaotic, they had a lot of entertainment facilities such as nightclubs and bars.
Therefore, most soldiers of the Explorers Legion would come to the first floor to enjoy themselves and squander their wages after completing their missions.
Although the first floor of the tower may look like a slum, the cost of living here is actually quite high. The circulation of Tower Coins not only exceeds that of the second floor, but is even greater than that of the third floor.
Otherwise, Gu Chen wouldn't have supported the Bear Gang to make money on the first floor.
Yang Cheng returned to the first floor to find Old Zhao on Black Soil Street in the Ninth District to purchase various mechanical materials needed by Professor Sun.
Although Lao Zhao is a shady real estate agent, he has been operating on the first floor for many years, and the fact that he has managed to stay in business for so long suggests that he still has some underground connections.
Moreover, he was even confident he could get his hands on gene serum last time, which shows that this guy has considerable influence.
Most importantly, Yang Cheng admired him for one thing: his principles.
Yang Cheng likes to deal with people who have principles.
If you're going to be a bad person, you have to act like one. If I say I'll kill your whole family, I have to make sure your whole family is wiped out.
Although Lao Zhao is a shady broker, he still has professional ethics. He didn't betray Yang Cheng when facing the Violent Bear Gang last time, which is why Yang Cheng continues to do business with him.
When Yang Cheng returned to Black Soil Street, Old Zhao was still guarding that dilapidated tin shack, listlessly dozing off.
Yang Cheng knocked on the tin door, and Old Zhao immediately jumped.
"Lord Yang! It's you?"
Old Zhao was well-informed; he learned that the Violent Bear would be wiped out that very day, and secretly rejoiced that he had upheld his principles.
Later, he heard that Yang Cheng had been recruited by the Explorers Legion, which made him sigh in his heart, "Sure enough, capable people can thrive anywhere."
g.
But he never expected that Yang Cheng would return to Black Soil Street.
"Why can't it be me? I came here today to discuss a business deal with you. Is it safe to talk here?"
Old Zhao quickly ushered Yang Cheng into the tin shack, took out a small device, pressed it, and instantly an invisible electromagnetic wave enveloped the surrounding area for more than ten meters.
Even with Yang Cheng's perception, he could only detect a slight spread of radio waves.
Old Zhao chuckled and said, "It's an inconspicuous little thing that can block out sound. Once activated, all electronic products within fifteen meters will also become completely ineffective. It's absolutely safe."
Yang Cheng took out the list that Professor Sun had given him and handed it to Lao Zhao, asking, "Can you get these things?"
Old Zhao looked at the items on the list and immediately gasped.
To be honest, with his connections, getting any one of the items on the list wouldn't be difficult or surprising.
But the question is, with so many things brought together, what exactly does this person intend to do? Is he building a force to attack the tower?
After a moment of contemplation, Old Zhao carefully considered his tone and said, "It's possible to get them all, but it will take some time."
For example, these specialized experimental devices—the research institute on the fourth floor often has obsolete and scrapped equipment piled up in its warehouse. As long as you find the right connections and bribe the relevant personnel, getting them is not a problem.
However, Lord Yang, you have asked for too much. If I were to take it all at once, it would definitely arouse suspicion from those higher-ups.
Although those guys were all fat, gluttonous good-for-nothings, they weren't all idiots.
So I need to subcontract to different people in batches to get these things, which will take about half a month in total. I don't know if that will be enough time?
Yang Cheng glanced at Lao Zhao with slight surprise. He had thought the other party would have some difficulties, but it turned out to be just a matter of time.
The first floor of the tower is a veritable den of dragons and crouching tigers; heaven knows just how many connections these guys have.
The entire tower appears to be a world unto itself, but due to the pursuit of interests, each level is inextricably linked, and something might be revealed in the future.
