"What types of potions are there?" Pan Han asked excitedly.
"There are many. Some can enhance attack power, making people extremely strong. Some can enhance defense, making people's muscles as hard as steel. There are also those that enhance mental control, which can control zombies and mutant animals, etc." Qin Zhong explained patiently.
"So, what do these potions have to do with the zodiac you mentioned?"
"These potions are all controlled by the Twelve Palaces. Any force that wants to become bigger cannot avoid them."
"What kind of power is this Zodiac?"
"They're incredibly powerful. The so-called Zodiac is actually a medical alliance. They've divided the world into twelve regions, each responsible for one area. It's said that this organization began researching viruses and various biological agents before the apocalypse. There are even rumors that the zombie virus was developed by them."
"So, what are we going to exchange for potions with the Zodiac?"
"A simple exchange is impossible. They don't lack supplies. They want our lives."
"Life?" Pan Han was shocked.
"Yes! To obtain the potion, not only must you provide sufficient supplies, but you must also become a slave of the Zodiac. That means you must drink the slave contract potion. If you betray them, your body will explode and die."
"Damn! So weird? Are you slaves of the Zodiac?"
"Master Pan, stop making trouble. Little Karami like us are looked down upon by the Twelve Constellations. We are not even worthy of being slaves." Qin Zhong showed an embarrassed look when he mentioned the evolution potion.
"But you just said that you all drank the evolution potion!"
"The Twelve Zodiac Signs will still release some of the lowest-level evolution potions, otherwise everyone will die, which will not be good for them. As for the mid-level and high-level potions, they will cost their lives."
"So, I came all this way here to build a base, recruit people, and expand my territory, just to be a dog for the Zodiac in the future?"
"right!"
"Wouldn't I then become a beggar on my knees?"
"That's it! So many people want to kneel, but there's no chance of that happening!"
"Shabby! So fucking shabby!"
"Excuse me, Master Pan, what exactly are you going to do?"
"I can't tell you now, you will understand later." Pan Han raised his eyebrows.
…The seven of them were all a bit bewildered. They looked at Pan Han like he was an idiot.
"Okay, let's not talk too much. I want to give you two tasks. I wonder if you are interested in taking them." Seeing that everyone's expressions were not right, Pan Han changed the subject.
"Of course I'll take the mission if there's one!"
"Okay! First, expand the staff to 100 within a month. Second, build me a safe house at the base. Once this house is built, only I can enter."
"Okay, Master Pan, as long as we have food, these two things will be easy to do."
"Then I'll leave first. I'll come back in a few days. Cheng Xiao, drive me."
Cheng Xiao went out and started the car without saying a word.
"Where are you going?"
"Where you come from, there you go."
"Walk!"
When they arrived at the place where Pan Han had traveled through time, Cheng Xiao put Pan Han down. Pan Han watched Cheng Xiao walk away, then silently recited the spell of travel through time and returned to his rental house.
He looked at his watch and it was only one in the afternoon.
I immediately went to the pawnshop I'd been to before and prepared to pawn all my gold and silver jewelry. As for the 20 kilograms of gold bars, I put them in my storage space. With such a large amount, I definitely couldn't sell them rashly.
Wang Cheng, the pawnshop manager, had just woken up from a nap. When he saw Pan Han coming in, he immediately went to greet him.
"Boss Pan, here we go again!"
"Well, I'm really short on money lately. I have to rely on the things passed down from my family! Manager Wang, can you give me a good price?"
"Look, my name is Wang Cheng, how can it not be possible!" Wang Cheng smiled and led him to the VIP private trading room.
Pan Han didn't hesitate and took out all his gold and silver jewelry after sitting down.
Wang Cheng saw that there was a lot of goods. It seemed that this month's sales were guaranteed. The commission was as stable as a rock.
"Boss Pan's family is wealthy, these are all valuable treasures!" Wang Cheng complimented.
"Thank you for your trouble!"
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll ask the appraiser to give me a definite answer."
Ten minutes later, Wang Cheng came out again.
"Your gold jewelry is fine. It's all pure gold. It weighs 400 grams. The diamond ring and sapphire ring are also top-quality goods."
"Absolutely." Pan Han didn't waste any words.
"Okay!"
Pan Han naturally didn't care whether these diamond rings and gemstones were truly top-quality goods, nor did he know the price. He just wanted to ship them out as quickly as possible, and whether Wang Cheng had cheated him or not was naturally irrelevant.
"This time, I'll give you a total of 250,000." Five minutes later, Wang Cheng gave the result.
"You earned 200,000 yuan with tears in your eyes," Pan Han joked.
"No, no, really not. We are just following the rules." Wang Cheng said with a smile.
"Okay, let's put it into this card. I'll leave once the money is in."
"Please wait a moment. I'll issue you an invoice and transfer the money."
Ten minutes later, Wang Cheng left the pawnshop.
He looked at the text message on his phone, which showed the 250,000 yuan that had arrived in his account, and immediately went to a large supermarket.
He had to frantically purchase supplies and speed up the construction of the base.
Because he would be purchasing a lot of items this time, he went directly to the supermarket manager and planned to purchase from a major customer.
"100 cartons of luncheon meat, 100 cartons of compressed biscuits, 100 cartons of instant noodles, 100 cartons of self-heating rice, 100 cartons of cola, 100 cartons of self-heating hot pot, 100 cartons of canned fruit, 100 cartons of nuts, 100 bags of rice, 100 bags of flour, 100 cartons of preserved mustard tubers, 100 cartons of beer, 100 cartons of liquor, 100 cartons of cigarettes." Pan Hanxian listed all the items. He actually bought them based on his tastes; after all, he needed to eat in the apocalypse. He had to make sure they were as flavorful as possible. As for the alcohol and cigarettes, they should be effective in winning people over.
"Okay, boss. Thank you for taking care of your business. Just give me your address and I'll deliver it to you for free."
When Pan Han heard this, he immediately remembered that he had no place to store the supplies. Even his shared apartment couldn't hold all the supplies. It seemed he would have to rent a warehouse first, and then use it to take them away without anyone noticing.
"There's no rush for delivery. I'll give you the money first and send you the address when the time comes."
Pan Han paid 100,000 yuan and left. He needed to rent a warehouse first.
But when he was looking for a house, he knew an agent who happened to have a warehouse available. That's a lot of money, right?
Afterwards, Pan Han contacted the intermediary Lao Wang.
When Lao Wang heard that they wanted to rent a warehouse, he immediately started to make arrangements without any delay.
Before dinner, the warehouse was ready. A warehouse measuring 16 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 4 meters high was in hand. It was deliberately located in a remote suburb, and the monthly rent was 4,300 yuan. With a wave of his hand, Pan Han paid a year's rent.
After the handover, Pan Han sent the address to the supermarket manager and asked him to arrange the delivery tomorrow.
Everything was done. Pan Han looked at the card and saw that there was still nearly 300,000 yuan in it.
"Why not buy a car?" Pan Han said to himself.
