"Brother Zhang Mu, when are you going to leave?"

Ha Chimu, who was drinking a large bowl of liquor, burped and looked at Zhang Mu with a dazed look and asked.

As for Qiqidar, he said he had something to tell others and went back to his own branch city first, and they would meet again at the auction in the capital city. Hachimu and Zhang Mu were left to rest in a tavern in the capital city of Ordos.

Zhang Mu pondered for a while, raised his wine bowl and clinked it with Ha Chimu, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile, "Brother Ha Chimu, you just told me that the Jiyuan agent merchants will hold an auction every month, and the time is approaching, but what is the specific time? How many days later?"

Ha Chimu was a little drunk, scratched his hair and said, "It will probably be five days later, yes, yes, five days later. Luckily I told Uncle Peng before I left, otherwise I would have to go back to the branch city to deal with some business before I could leave.

Brother Zhang Mu, let me tell you, the distance between the capital city of Hohhot and us is not comparable to that between the branch city and here. Even with Chixue's running speed, it would take about a day and a night to run here. We cannot run without rest, so it would take even longer.

It’s damn far, those guys only hold auctions in Hohhot, so I have to rush over every time.”

Zhang Mu didn't say anything. After Yuan Rui filled his glass with wine, he clinked glasses with Ha Chimu and began to think quietly.

It would take nearly twenty-four hours for Chixue to reach the speed of the Obsidian Worm, which was enough to show how long the journey was. So they had to set off as soon as possible. After all, as Ha Chimu said, rest was necessary when traveling, otherwise neither people nor horses could bear it.

No, the time Hachimu mentioned just now is five days.

Counting the days, four days from now is the day when Jiyuan Store will update its goods. Zhang Mu immediately understood what these Jiyuan agents are planning. They are planning to empty Jiyuan Store collectively, which means they will make profits on both ends.

On the one hand, the mission of the Epoch Merchant was not delayed, and on the other hand, large quantities of Yuan Crystals and Beast Cores could be stockpiled.

By the time the method of advancing to the second level becomes widely known among the first-level evolvers, the price of this batch of Yuan Crystals and Beast Cores will be able to increase several times or even ten times. The specific amount will depend on how much conscience these people have left.

But they are all agents of Jiyuan, so they naturally don’t have any conscience.

In this world, how many Yuanjing is conscience worth? It is not as good as a full meal, and there is nothing to blame. He can earn money.

Of course, he has the ability and channels, which cannot be obtained by envy. This is the benefit brought by absolute monopoly.

Zhang Mu had wanted to do this before. It wasn't that he had a change of heart, but his main energy was focused on the promotion task of Jiyuan's agent merchants. It was time-consuming and laborious to squeeze profits from his own people, and it was easy to be criticized by others. Zhang Mu had no interest in doing it unless it was absolutely necessary.

His only goal now is to complete the big target of 300 gold leaves within half a year.

The racial war is not far away. If we don't seize this opportunity, when the profits and losses of transactions in the next era gradually begin to stabilize, within half a year, let alone 300 gold leaves, even earning 30 gold leaves will be something we can brag about for a year.

"Brother Akagi, why don't we leave now?"

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Mu turned to look at Ha Chimu and said, but he found that Ha Chimu was already drunk and unconscious. He waved his hands and said, "No, no, I'm drunk and can't walk. I won't go, I won't go."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hit his head on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhang Mu smiled helplessly. This wine was indeed overbearing. It could knock down a grassland man like Ha Chimu. Moreover, Ha Chimu was now a second-level evolver, so one could imagine how strong the wine was.

As for why Zhang Mu was not drunk, it was because most of the alcohol was completely absorbed by the blood vine lotus in his body. His face was just slightly drunk, but his eyes were still clear.

He stretched out his hand, called the waiter in the store and asked, "What is this wine made of? It made my brother drunk so easily. He is a second-level evolver."

The waiter thought Zhang Mu was angry. He was suppressed by the momentum that Zhang Mu unconsciously released. He couldn't speak clearly and said tremblingly, "Our wine is brewed at home... Ha, Lord Chimu is drunk like this because he drank too much... It's none of my business."

At this moment, a slender hand rested on the waiter's shoulder, and a voice like a yellow warbler sounded quietly.

"Xiao Li, please go down first. I will answer this guest's questions."

When the waiter surnamed Li heard this, he nodded as if he had been granted amnesty and said, "Then boss, I will go clean the room."

Boss? I didn't expect the owner of this tavern to be so delicate.

woman.

Without spiritual power exploration, Zhang Mu didn't even notice the arrival of the tavern owner. He must be a second-level evolver. But it's also true. Without the strength of the second level, how could this tavern be so comfortable? It is estimated that it would have been swallowed up by someone long ago.

What kind of woman is this? Zhang Mu immediately became interested and looked at the person carefully.

She was wearing a yellow dress with flowing cloud-like hems, and her thick black hair was tied up with a phoenix hairpin. Her every frown and smile was gentle and moving, like a woman who walked out of an ancient poem or painting. If Zhang Mu hadn't known that he was in the inland, he would have thought he was in ancient Jiangnan.

However, Zhang Mu seemed to have forgotten a very terrifying fact: Yuan Rui was sitting opposite him.

Seeing that Zhang Mu's expression was not right, Yuan Rui's jealousy surged up instantly. Seeing that Zhang Mu was still looking at her with a dazed expression, she stepped on him directly and pulled Zhang Mu out of his imagination.

Zhang Mu took a deep breath and said calmly, "It's a bit out of control, but I just admire you. After all, it's rare to see someone dressed like you, even before the end of the world, so I'm a little curious. People from the mountains have never seen the world, so don't be surprised, girl."

Zhang Mu said half of this to his boss, and the other half to explain to Yuan Rui.

After hearing what Zhang Mu said, Yuan Rui loosened her feet, but she still looked a little annoyed when she looked at Zhang Mu.

The woman in ancient costume covered her mouth and chuckled. The clear sound was very pleasant to the ears.

“My dear guest, there is nothing strange about this. I have always longed for this kind of ancient charm, but the constraints of society are too great, so I can only hide it in my heart.

Although the world has changed, I can do what I want now. Plant flowers, open a tavern, wear ancient costumes, sing songs, and live a more interesting life than before."

Zhang Mu didn't say anything, he just put down his wine bowl and clapped his hands. Yuan Rui looked at the tavern owner with a much kinder look.

Even in the end times, everyone lives differently. The picturesque woman in front of us lives a good life after changing her mindset. Although the prerequisite is that she is strong enough, the important thing is to stick to her original heart and not change herself.

Even in the end times, life is still comfortable.

This is the real freedom!
