Fatty Zhou stood up slightly and then patted the dust off his hands.
"The area around that pond is full of informants from the administrators, and there are also quite a few fake corpses guarding it."
If someone without the ability goes there, they're basically just throwing their life away.
They might even be made to look like fake corpses.
If someone is good-looking and talented, they could be a template for becoming a fake corpse.
Hearing this, I felt a chill run down my spine.
This means that in this shallow layer, there are indeed more than just that one type of fake corpse.
That female ghost who suddenly attacked Lao Liu's face in the taxi in the thick fog, she was probably one of them!
"Master, this thing is really cunning!"
Moreover, those managers are really unethical.
With such oppression, how can the people below survive?
Lei Jijian's words made sense, and I wholeheartedly give him a thumbs up in my heart.
This manager is putting too much pressure on his subordinates.
No wonder Liu Guopeng, the former manager, so vehemently criticized those administrators.
If they don't even spare a fat guy who runs a hotel on the outskirts of the city and doesn't care about anything, what kind of measures would they take against drivers who frequently drive in the main urban area?
I dare not think about it.
I haven't met a single manager yet, but I can guarantee that those people are definitely not good people.
Based solely on these two people's descriptions of them, I already have a biased view of them.
Selfish and utterly heartless.
"Doing that herb-gathering job is not only dangerous, it could very well be a death sentence."
The guy who used to come with me to gather herbs had been with me for about five years, but this was the first time he'd gotten into trouble.
If you don't have the ability, you're just throwing your life away.
At this point, Lao Zhou's tone was filled with worry, and also a little bit of regret.
Upon hearing this, the girl suddenly spoke.
"Boss Zhou, Lan Jia said that sea marrow can be used as a medicinal ingredient and can also revive some things, so doesn't that mean it must be very rare...?"
From what you're saying, it seems like this thing isn't very useful.
Is it more like a disaster?
Old Zhou's face immediately broke into a smile, and the pieces of meat squeezed together.
"That kid is just bragging. How could Sea Marrow have such strong abilities?"
However, it is indeed very useful to me.
Besides that, there's something special about it.
He can neutralize the unbalanced forces in the shallow layers.
Incidentally, it will help the host recover some stamina, or be used to make some simple tools.
For example, amulets or magical artifacts.
As Mr. Zhou spoke, he paused for a moment.
Further details were added.
"Moreover, the use of this sea marrow is very demanding, and only people with extremely strong abilities can use it."
If it were an ordinary person, they would either be corroded by this substance or unable to absorb it.
Not only that, it will also cause great damage to the body's vital energy.
The reason this stuff thrives in the sea is because it requires less energy from the shallower waters.
Hearing this, I was filled with emotion.
Wow, so that's what sea marrow is all about.
It's not as miraculous as Blue Armor described; at best, it's a double-edged sword-type supplement.
But that blue armor definitely does make this thing very powerful.
"Blue Armor...can he use it?"
I couldn't help but speak.
If the conditions for using this sea marrow are indeed very harsh, then Blue Armor should also suffer different degrees of backlash when using it, right?
"He's only a semi-expert, I'd say."
Fatty Zhou curled his lip.
"Blue Armor is also a specialist. He has been studying this for several years now. Ever since he entered the boundary between the shallow and deep layers, he has been focusing on this research."
His greatest invention was the utilization and reuse of sea marrow.
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but re-evaluate Blue Armor.
That kid's ruthless.
When I first met him, he was dressed in a leather outfit, and I thought he looked like the kind of person who does research.
Unexpectedly, this sea marrow was also one of his inventions.
I glanced at Yiyi beside me, and he seemed a little stunned.
Then, Yiyi also spoke to me in a low voice.
“Brother, this Blue Armor has this technology, but we don’t. If we take this sea marrow back now, we’ll still be at their mercy.”
"It's not something you can just hand over to Ningluzhi anytime."
I nodded in agreement.
Then I heard the Thunder Strike Sword muttering in my head.
"Master, there's definitely something wrong with this blue armor. They've deliberately exaggerated its effects. In reality, only he can use it. They tricked them into coming here, and they might be trying to trade your lives for this Fatty Zhou!"
I frowned and took a deep breath.
The scenario Lei Jijian described is not impossible.
Suppressing my doubts, I looked at Lao Zhou.
"Regardless of what use this sea marrow may have, or whether it is that powerful or not, we still want to make the deal."
How about... could you sell us what you've stored first?
"As long as we solve this, we can focus on the immediate tasks."
Old Zhou stared at us for a long time, and then he suddenly sighed.
"It's not that I don't want to sell to you, it's that I dare not."
This was originally meant for me to keep in order to appease the administrators.
Do you think that only Blue Armor can use these things in the entire shallow layer?
We can't let those managers do whatever they want.
Otherwise, will my hotel even be able to stay open?
Upon hearing this, I seemed to understand immediately.
This Fatty Zhou also has his own difficulties.
He paused for a moment, then continued.
"Besides, even if you buy it, you won't need it. You need a special method to purify it. Do you know how?"
I was about to interrupt him and talk to him about the Blue Armor Association.
"Does that kid even know how? That's all he's good at. He can only extract ordinary sea marrow, but what's in this jar of mine is aged sea marrow, specially dug out from inside Xishui. It must be at least 20 years old."
If that kid messes things up, not only will the purification be impure, but it will also explode!
Needless to say, take it back and show it to him. Even if he were standing right here, he wouldn't dare do anything!
My heart sank.
We never doubted Lan Jia's professionalism from the very beginning.
Now Fatty Zhou has told me how many things this kid has been hiding from us.
I suspect that he not only didn't tell us the specific methods of using sea cucumber, but also about the purification process.
He hasn't told this fat Zhou about the contract yet.
In other words, he wants to profit from both sides!
