According to Li Yue, Zhu Guanshan was very likely someone from the upper echelons, and Xia Chuhe immediately abandoned the idea of hiring her. The upper echelons were currently hunting her down for some unknown reason, and she couldn't afford to approach them.
However, Zhu Guanshan and Lu Danggui were already saying, "Sister, I feel like I've seen you before."
Lu Danggui had never experienced such a direct attack before, and his language function had long since become disordered.
Xia Chuhe grabbed Lu Danggui and said, "We have other things to do, goodbye."
They had already circled the trading market but found nothing related to the map, and the forum's trading section yielded no results. Now, it was time to meet the leader of the Xintian Gang.
Zhu Guanshan, however, continued to pester Lu Dangui relentlessly, even going so far as to say that he "wanted to have a baby with her."
Given the technological level of the wasteland, it's not impossible for one person to produce one egg and give birth to a monkey.
"I'm leaving, stop bothering me." Lu Dangui, having lost her temper, immediately launched a scathing attack at Zhu Guanshan.
Zhu Guanshan smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Lu Dangui's gaze swept over the stray hairs on the ground: "Next time I make a move, I won't be aiming for the hair."
Zhu Guanshan reluctantly handed Lu Dangui a card: "Here's my contact information, sister. I can get you anything you need. Contact me if you need anything."
Lu Dangui held back for a long time and left the card.
After escaping Zhuguan Mountain and preparing for battle, Xia Chuhe finally contacted the Xintian Gang.
Xintianbang replied: Please come to "Tian Shen Xiao Dian" in the living area. We have prepared an auction venue for you.
The God's Shop was an extremely small and ordinary shop. The group had just passed by without even considering going in to explore it.
Upon entering the store, Xia Chuhe was greeted by a dedicated staff member. He then discovered that a secret passage leading underground had been built inside, and the layout was somewhat similar to that of the Five Star Company's shopping mall.
Xia Chuhe wasn't sure what Xintianbang was up to, so he didn't rush in. Instead, he told the receptionist, "I need to meet your leader first before we can discuss the auction."
The receptionist had anticipated this: "The leader is on his way. Please rest for a bit."
The receptionist led the group to their seats and served them fresh fruit and juice, making them even more extravagant than those at a five-star hotel.
Xia Chuhe and the others had seen good things in the dungeon, so for safety reasons, they didn't touch the food or drink.
Before long, the door of the God of Gods' Shop was pushed open.
A round-faced, smiling man strode into the shop, bowed slightly and extended his hand precisely in front of Xia Chuhe: "Boss Xia, I've heard so much about you! It's my great honor to finally meet you today!"
The scene was so different from the armed conflict Xia Chuhe had imagined that she was stunned for a moment before standing up and extending her hand: "Hello."
"I want to apologize to you first. I'm really sorry for causing some trouble by using your connections before. To show our sincerity, we specially prepared this auction for you." The gang leader immediately explained the reason.
Xia Chuhe's anger had just subsided a little when it flared up again. She laughed angrily, "You've caused me so much trouble, ruining an entire auction."
The gang leader continued to adopt a humble attitude: "Of course not. Just tell us what you need, as long as we can do it."
Xia Chuhe replied without hesitation: "I need a guide who can lead me to the Xinghuo branch."
"No problem, no problem. Many of the brothers in the gang came from the lighthouse with me. Making a name for themselves outside won't be a problem." To show his sincerity, the gang leader immediately laid everything bare, even more so than Wang Gang.
This person's surname is Weng, given name Xintian, and his code name at the lighthouse is Albatross. His special ability is prophecy.
Weng Xintian's predictions were particularly accurate. As early as when Xia Chuhe first arrived in the wasteland, he predicted the birth of a person with great fortune, even predicting the name and the place of their meeting.
His name needs no introduction; it is Xia Chuhe.
As for the location... the place where Lighthouse and Xia Chuhe first met was Raptor Academy. The strange letter Xia Chuhe received at that time was written by Weng Xintian.
At that time, Weng Xintian's views were similar to Wu Ying's. They believed that non-evolved beings were like pigs and dogs at the bottom of society, only polluting the gene pool of evolved beings, causing most evolved beings to be forever suppressed by the upper class, and leaving the wasteland in a perpetual state of semi-death. Only by killing or sterilizing all non-evolved beings could the speed of evolution be accelerated, the rule of the upper class be overthrown, and the wasteland environment be adapted to, allowing for the construction of a better home.
Weng Xintian always felt that Xia Chuhe should be brainwashed and brought into the Lighthouse camp. However, Wuying's repeated excessive probing only pushed Xia Chuhe further away.
The two had an irreconcilable conflict over how to treat Xia Chuhe.
Finally, Wu Ying agreed to let Weng Xintian try one more time. Weng Xintian then resorted to the treacherous plan of impersonating Xia Chuhe and joining the rebel army in order to force Xia Chuhe to actually join the rebels.
The attempt naturally failed.
Meanwhile, as time went on, the predicted future—such as everyone having land to cultivate, everyone having water to drink, and the storms subsiding—came into existence, and Weng Xintian began to doubt whether the original intention of the lighthouse was correct.
So he decided to go out on his own.
After bringing a group of supporters and some of the resources of the Lighthouse, Weng Xintian set his sights on the Cape Trading Market.
Between the lighthouse and the base, nearly half the area is covered by dungeons, making it uninhabitable. The other areas have been occupied and operated by various organizations for many years, with their own special rules and strangely fierce strength.
Only the Cape Trading Market was chaotic and disorderly, frequently changing hands. Furthermore, due to its proximity to the base, the organizations that seized control of the Cape Trading Market were relatively weak, which gave Weng Xintian an opportunity to exploit.
There was another major reason why Weng Xintian was able to successfully take over the Cape Trading Center—he met the person the people of the Lighthouse had been longing for, his god.
When Weng Xintian arrived at the trading venue, the boss had already turned the place upside down. He and the others only did some finishing touches, planning, and reconstruction work.
After explaining the whole story, Weng Xintian concluded: "I would also like to connect you and your older sister. Your older sister would like to exchange breeding techniques with you."
Xia Chuhe was full of questions. How could the head of the lighthouse be interested in raising small animals?
Finally, Weng Xintian introduced the middle-aged man following behind him: "This is Asu, formerly known as the Thousand-Faced Man. The idea of impersonating you was mine, but he did the work. We both accept the punishment."
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face.
Weng Xintian put a smiling face close to Xia Chuhe's hand, betting that she wouldn't be too embarrassed to hit him.
Xia Chuhe didn't actually lay a hand on him; she only spoke: "Forget about physical punishment, but give us some emotional compensation. There are nine of us in one car, it's a bit cramped. And my sister isn't used to the outside environment, she needs some face cream and skincare products. Oh, and I have a little one, we're short on formula."
Weng Xintian smiled broadly: "Okay, okay, we can discuss these things. We hope to have more cooperation with Boss Xia."
He cursed inwardly: Shameless scoundrel! Shameless scoundrel! What great fortune? It's clearly a big face!
