ε＝ε＝ε＝(#＞д＜)?Ahhh! ! !
Looking at Liu Zhuang, who was shouting and clutching his head, Chen Ping couldn't help but shake his head, then laughed and said, "Is it really necessary? That bag, only the first few green-haired wolves were worth anything. Putting them all together, it probably isn't that much, is it?"
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Liu Zhuang stopped shouting, put his hand on Chen Ping's shoulder and said, "Who said that? That bag can be exchanged for at least 10 cups of Happy 101 drinks at the bar. Those are the bar's signature drinks, and they're expensive."
Chen Ping: "Oh? How much is a cup?"
Liu Zhuang: "888 a glass, do you think that's expensive or not? I've had even more expensive drinks at Yisi City Fortress, but Happy 101 is still better. It truly lives up to its reputation as a signature drink of Happy 101 City Fortress."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping shrugged and said, "Then you can only consider yourself unlucky. Do you really want to go back and look for it? Maybe someone else has already picked it up."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhuang let out another wail. The thought of his full bag being taken away pained him deeply. He clutched his chest with one hand, looking utterly dejected.
They were in line for a short while before it was their turn.
The guard, seeing Liu Zhuang's miserable appearance, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with him? He looks so downcast?"
Liu Zhuang was completely oblivious to the guards' words, still lost in his grief.
Chen Ping glanced at him speechlessly, then said to the guard, "He forgot his bag of prey in the wild, that's why he looks so pathetic."
The guard looked them up and down, and indeed there wasn't a single bag. He couldn't help but smile sympathetically, waved them in, and thought to himself, "These days, losing a bag can make someone this upset. It must have been something really valuable inside."
Liu Zhuang was still immersed in the pain of losing his wealth, shaking his head and sighing incessantly. Chen Ping patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's alright, Liu Zhuang. Money is just an external thing. Just be more careful in the future. Besides, the things in that bag were basically freebies. If they're gone, they're gone. Just try harder next time, and you'll earn them back eventually."
Liu Zhuang looked up at Chen Ping with a disappointed expression, and after a long while, he managed a bitter smile: "You're right, Brother Chen Ping. Alas, I was too greedy. I must be more careful in the future. Happy 101 drinks are good, but they shouldn't have made me so distraught."
"But the wolf pelt in the bag was something I hunted with great effort. I originally intended to open it and make myself a wolf pelt coat."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, let's start the investigation. Huang Chao has been here for several hours already. Who knows if he's accomplished what he wanted to do?"
Hearing this, Liu Zhuang wiped his face and then said, "Yes, you're right. Let's go to Gaode Tavern and find out where the city lord has arranged for the trade caravan members to stay."
"Let's go, let's go."
As Liu Zhuang walked towards the location of Gaode Tavern, he introduced the tavern to Chen Ping.
"Gaode Tavern is a fairly large tavern, and many outsiders choose to stay there. So, we're going there now to pretend to be outsiders and check into Gaode Tavern."
"As for my identity, I'm just a brother who came here for a visit."
Chen Ping nodded and then said, "Yes, I understand, but Liuzhuang..."
Liu Zhuang: "Hmm? What's wrong?"
Chen Ping: "You have money, right? Don't be short of money to pay later."
Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Liu Zhuang stopped in his tracks. Damn it, he really was broke; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone hunting during his holiday.
Liu Zhuang paused for a moment, scratched his head awkwardly, and replied somewhat embarrassedly, "Ahem, Brother Chen Ping, now that you mention it, I do seem to be a little short on cash lately. But it's alright, I have a plan."
As he spoke, he rummaged in his pocket and finally pulled out a pocket watch that looked quite old. "I'll pawn this pocket watch to the tavern owner first; that should last for a while. If it's really not enough, I'll think of something else."
Seeing Liu Zhuang's embarrassed state, Chen Ping couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Alright, Liu Zhuang, you don't need to be so nervous. I have some savings here, we can share the expenses. Since we're going to investigate, we need to be fully prepared. We can't let the issue of accommodation fees expose our intentions."
"By the way, do you buy gold here?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhuang said, "Gold? Of course I'll take it. Gold is always a valuable commodity. I didn't expect you to be such a tycoon, hahaha."
He then patted Chen Ping on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you're a true friend. It's settled then. We'll head to Gaode Tavern to settle our accommodation first, and then try to contact those trade caravans to see if we can dig up any clues."
......
With the money issue resolved, Liu Zhuang led Chen Ping to quicken their pace towards Gaode Tavern, and soon they arrived in front of a five-story building.
Chen Ping looked at the sign above, the four big characters "Gaode Tavern" were still shining.
The two then went inside and booked a double room, the kind with a single bed, one for each person.
Soon, the key was in hand. Liu Zhuang whispered to Chen Ping as he walked toward the elevator.
Liu Zhuang: "The city lord arranged for the fake caravan to be on the fourth floor, so we need to book rooms on the fifth floor."
Chen Ping nodded slightly, and then the two stopped talking after getting on the elevator. There were too many people in the elevator, so it wasn't a good time to talk. Who knew if there might be any members of the Wasteland Tide group there?
The two arrived at room 502 without any problems, opened the door, and entered.
As soon as he entered, Liu Zhuang couldn't help but go to the window and look down, because the room below was the room of the fake convoy manager.
Cluck, cluck cluck!!!
A vibration sound rang out, and Liu Zhuang unconsciously touched his phone. Yes, his phone was ringing.
"Look?" Captain, Liu Zhuang quickly answered the call.
Liu Zhuang: "Captain, what's up?"
Captain: "Liu Zhuang, where are you now? The city lord has recalled us, saying that the task of monitoring the fake trade convoy has been assigned to you?"
Liu Zhuang: "Oh, I'm at Gaode Tavern now, in the room on the fifth floor above the manager's."
Captain: "Not bad, you're very efficient. I'll give you a brief explanation of the previous monitoring situation now, and then I'll leave the rest to you."
Then the handover began.
Chen Ping glanced at Liu Zhuang, who was on the phone, then looked down. With his current strength, controlling the range of his hearing was far too easy, not to mention he could use his divine sense.
There was only one person smoking in the room below, so after glancing at him twice, Chen Ping ignored him.
