Chapter 261: Sense of Crisis
Chapter 261: Sense of Crisis
"Cang Hai, Hong Cha called me yesterday. They found a new recruit during their mission, and they need me and Hong Cha to bring them into the headquarters, just like how we recruited you. So..."
Nightingale glanced at Jiang Cheng apologetically.
After a moment of surprise, Jiang Cheng regained his composure and smiled, "It's fine. Completing the mission is more important, and I might receive a new task in a couple of days too."
"Mhm."
Nightingale heaved a slight sigh of relief.
In fact, two days ago, she had already been thinking of going back to buy a psychic weapon, as she now had enough money.
Whether to buy an A-Class or an S-Class weapon was the question.
With the income from the past two days, buying an S-Class weapon was definitely affordable.
However, after much deliberation, she decided to purchase an A-Class weapon. Just like the more challenging secret arts, the more powerful a weapon, the harder it was to control.
Currently, she was only a Tier 6 Mind Master, not even a High-Rank Mind Master, so it was better to play it safe.
But she could tell that Jiang Cheng was quite attached to money and probably had his own purchases in mind. So, after receiving Hong Cha's notification, she negotiated to postpone their departure by a day.
Tomorrow, they would have to set off.
"Cang Hai, I'm truly grateful this time. If not for you, it would have taken me a long time to save up enough money to buy an A-Class psychic weapon, let alone having enough to buy two now."
"Don't be so polite."
Jiang Cheng shook his head.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have earned this much money so easily, and it was also thanks to you and Hong Cha that I was able to enter the headquarters."
"Umm..."
Nightingale felt a bit embarrassed.
She hadn't taken Jiang Cheng seriously at all back then.
When he mentioned wanting to cultivate the Lotus Meditation Technique, she had even scoffed at him.
But to her surprise, he succeeded in his initiation and sensed the mental force in his mind.
This collaboration had given her an enormous surprise.
Thinking of this, her ears turned red, and she quickly changed the topic, "Cang Hai, let's set off early tomorrow. Your strength isn't strong enough yet. If you go hunting in the wilderness alone, it might be quite dangerous."
"Mhm."
Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment before agreeing.
He had also considered going hunting alone.
With his strength as a Tier 6 Essence Energy Warrior, even if he encountered enemies, the possibility of life-threatening situations was relatively low.
But as the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Without Nightingale by his side, if he encountered a team of four or five people, and they also had Tier 6 Essence Energy Warriors, it would be quite a challenge.
It would be better to return for some time to develop his strength to Tier 7, and then come back to hunt alone, which would be a safer bet.
However, there was one thing that made him hesitate.
During the time it took for his strength to reach Tier 7, he would probably have to come back here at least once.
The reason was simple.
He wanted to buy Basic Calming Spirit Pills.
The money he currently had was just enough to buy twenty bottles here.
Going to the black market wasn't enough, and this month's first trip was just yesterday, so the next one would be in half a month.
As for buying from the Dawn Society, it was even more impossible. Unless she asked Nightingale to buy it on her behalf, which shouldn't be difficult given their current relationship.
All that was left was the money. The Basic Calming Spirit Pills were 100,000 yuan each, and he needed nine of them, with no discounts.
So, overall, it was still most cost-effective to buy them here.
The two of them entered the camp, and this time, the people keeping watch outside were too lazy to pay attention to them.
There was no point in looking at it anyway.
After selling the prey, the two drove off.
Tomorrow, Jiang Cheng planned to take this truck as well.
After all, it was this thing that had greatly increased their earnings over the past few days.
It would be a waste to just abandon it here.
Jiang Cheng parked the truck and greeted Ye Ying before heading towards the trading house.
Today was the third day of signing the contract.
After two days of absence, many people seemed to have forgotten about Jiang Cheng, and he once again attracted various gazes.
Jiang Cheng was in no mood to pay attention to them. He stated his purpose directly, and soon he was led into the same private room as before. In a moment, the sound of high heels echoed.
He Juan was dressed the same as last time, wearing a suit, with a person following behind her, carrying a briefcase-sized safe in her hand.
"Mr. Chen, the goods you requested actually arrived yesterday. I've been waiting for you," He Juan said with a smile, entering the password and opening the safe.
Inside were ten exquisitely crafted porcelain bottles, each nestled in its own compartment, palm-sized.
"Can I inspect them?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"Yes, but you need to wear our gloves, and you can only smell them. If you attempt to taste or do something similar, you must pay the remaining balance," He Juan replied.
Jiang Cheng nodded, put on the gloves, and examined each bottle one by one.
Having consumed two bottles of Basic Tranquilizing Pills, he could tell at a glance.
"Rest assured, Mr. Chen. Our trading house would never ruin our reputation, let alone for just ten bottles of basic tranquilizing pills. It's not worth it for us to do that," He Juan said with a smile.
"It's always better to be cautious."
Jiang Cheng put down one bottle and picked up the next one without lifting his head.
"That's true."
He Juan paused for a moment, waiting silently.
When Jiang Cheng put down the last bottle, a smile reappeared on her face.
"Mr. Chen, now that you've finished inspecting them, is there any problem? If not, you just need to pay the remaining balance, and the pills in this box will be yours," He Juan said.
As she finished speaking, Jiang Cheng felt a sense of being watched.
He had felt this way before, when he paid for secret potions.
Clearly, a Mental Force Grandmaster was overseeing the transaction here, and whenever a large sum was involved, it would attract their attention.
The warehouse, on the other hand, was different. It was likely that an Essence Energy Grandmaster was in charge there, perhaps due to a different operating model.
At the trading house, customers could see the goods before paying. They could even take the items and run without paying, leaving the trading house in a passive position.
The warehouse, in contrast, required customers to present their prey first, have it appraised, and then pay. This gave the warehouse more control.
"Okay."
Jiang Cheng didn't waste any words and proceeded with the transfer directly.
"Alright, Mr. Chen, we have received your payment. These ten bottles of pills on the table are yours, and the box is a gift. You can take it with you," He Juan said.
"Of course, if you have any other requests, feel free to mention them. We will do our best to accommodate you," He Juan added.
Jiang Cheng felt the sense of being watched fade away.
He had an impulse to say, "Give me another 80 bottles, or 40 bottles of Intermediate Tranquilizing Pills."
But the Mental Force Grandmaster gave him a sense of crisis.
One million might not be enough to catch the Grandmaster's attention.
But what about ten million?
