Chapter 255: Making a Friend
Chapter 255: Making a Friend
Not long after the middle-aged man hung up the phone, a man with a rosy complexion and a protruding belly approached the area.
Following him were two men, one tall and the other short, both with stern faces and an aura that suggested they were not to be trifled with.
Soon, the three of them arrived.
"Oh my, what a pleasant surprise," the leader of the group exclaimed with a wide smile, extending his hand towards Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng also reached out and shook the man's hand.
He could sense that the man before him harbored no ill intentions.
It seemed that Nightingale's words were true.
Even if the people here knew that they were the ones who had taken action, they wouldn't start a conflict over a mere ordinary person.
"My name is Cong Yu, but I don't know your surname, little brother," the man said.
"Oh, I'm sorry, but I can't disclose that," Jiang Cheng replied with a slight smile.
"Hahaha," Cong Yu exclaimed, then added, "No problem, I understand. In that case, I'll take the liberty of calling you 'little brother.' And this is your little sister?"
Nightingale's pupils constricted slightly, and her eyes flashed with killing intent.
The two men behind Cong Yu immediately tensed up.
"Don't get excited," Jiang Cheng quickly stepped forward and stood between them, "Brother Cong, you've misunderstood. We're just friends."
"Oh, it's nothing, nothing," Cong Yu said.
Cong Yu quietly wiped the sweat from his palm. After the previous test, he could now confirm that the woman before him was the Mental Master who had killed his subordinate.
"Brother Cong, could you please take a look at these Black Mane Pigs and tell me their value?" Jiang Cheng asked, stepping aside and pointing to the row of game animals not far away.
"Hiss..."
Even over the phone, he had already learned about this.
Cong Yu couldn't help but gasp in surprise. He took another look at Jiang Cheng and Nightingale.
Then, he walked forward and carefully examined each of the animals.
After a while, he lifted his head to look at Jiang Cheng and gave him a thumbs up, "Your shooting skills are impressive, little brother. If I'm not mistaken, these ten Black Mane Pigs were all shot by the same gun, and only one bullet was used."
Nightingale, standing nearby, also looked at Jiang Cheng with a complex expression in her eyes.
"Hehehe, Brother Cong, you're too kind. It's just a matter of practice," Jiang Cheng said with a nonchalant smile, "But please give me an estimate of the price."
"The price? No problem," Cong Yu replied, lowering his head again to examine the row of Black Mane Pigs on the ground, "These Black Mane Pigs are all in excellent condition. Even the largest one here, if we were to acquire it for 300,000, there wouldn't be any issues. However, considering the incident earlier, we were indeed in the wrong. So, for these ten Black Mane Pigs, we can offer the highest acquisition price of 300,000 each. We hope that you won't hold any grudges against us because of the morning's incident."
"The morning's incident? I'm not quite sure what you mean, Brother Cong," Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "But how could we possibly have any complaints against you? Without you, we wouldn't have anywhere to sell the Monstrous Beasts materials we hunt in the wild."
"Hahaha, you're right, little brother. Alright, let bygones be bygones. I sincerely wish that you will return from the wild with a bountiful harvest every time, just like this occasion."
Cong Yu's laughter grew louder.
In the eyes of the middle-aged man, this supervisor had significant authority. He was even protected by Primordial Energy Warriors whenever he went out.
However, only he knew the pressure that came with this position.
Every month, there were quotas for the number of Monstrous Beasts to be hunted, such as a certain number of 3rd Rank Beasts, 4th Rank Beasts, and 5th Rank Beasts. If these targets were not met, he would be out of a job.
Do you want to just laze around and wait for handouts? That's only for those above him, the privileged of the Wu Clan.
So, he was more than happy to see more skilled hunters like Jiang Cheng, who brought in ten Tier 5 Monstrous Beasts, completing the quota for Tier 5 beasts.
"Little brother, for these ten Black Mane Pigs, I'll give you thirty thousand each, totaling three million. Do you want to transfer the money or pay in cash?"
"No rush, brother," Jiang Cheng said, exchanging a glance with Ye Ying. "I heard that you also buy back firearms here?"
"That's right, little brother. I'll take however many you have," Cong Yu replied with a hearty laugh.
The Wu Clan established the White Pine Camp, naturally keeping the most profitable businesses firmly in their grasp.
For example, they monopolized the acquisition of Monstrous Beast materials, firearms, Secret Potions, and Charms.
Only some entertainment and consumer establishments, such as hotels, clubs, supermarkets, auto repair shops, and the like, were delegated to others.
However, don't underestimate the profits from these businesses; they are quite astonishing. Primordial Energy Warriors who come here sometimes spend tens of thousands in a single night after making a fortune.
The Wu Clan doesn't want to let go of these businesses, but as the saying goes, the world isn't just about fighting and killing; there are also human relations and social norms. If you want everything, you might end up with nothing.
After buying back firearms, they repair and replace parts, then sell them in weapon shops as brand new at full price, making a profit with minimal effort.
"Brother, please wait a moment," Jiang Cheng said, retrieving seven or eight guns from the truck's cargo bed, along with several boxes of bullets.
"Little brother, hold on. I'll check these," Cong Yu said, picking up the guns and inspecting them one by one.
"Little brother, three of these guns are quite old, and many parts are aging. The others are in good condition, but since we've had a good cooperation, I'll buy all these guns at 70% of the market price, totaling 900,000. This way, I won't make much profit, but it's fine; let's consider it making a friend."
Since he had already compromised on the prey, he might as well go all the way and make concessions on the firearms as well. It won't be a loss, just a smaller profit.
But building a good relationship with someone like this, especially with a Mind Master present, could only be beneficial.
Jiang Cheng's heart leaped with joy, and he quickly replied, "Thank you, brother."
"You're welcome. I hope we can continue our cooperation," Cong Yu laughed.
Soon, 3.9 million yuan was transferred to the accounts of the two.
They split the money evenly, each receiving 1.95 million yuan.
Ye Ying was momentarily stunned.
With the 300,000 yuan from the morning, her account now held nearly 2.3 million yuan.
This was enough to buy an A-Class Psychic Weapon.
Before coming here, she had prepared to earn this amount in a week, but now, she had accumulated it in less than a day.
Her heart couldn't help but feel a surge of impulse.
If she saved a few hundred thousand more, could she buy the best A-Class Psychic Weapon, capable of injuring even Tenth Rank Primordial Energy Warriors?
What if... what if, with a little more money, she could buy an S-Class Psychic Weapon?
That would be a weapon capable of harming even Masters!
In comparison, Jiang Cheng was much more composed.
It was only a little over two million; he was still far from his goal of several million.
