After Tang Zhen and the others finished eating, he instructed Murong Zi Yan to look after the house. He brought Qian Long and da Xiong out of Wanderer town and headed to the place where he had previously buried the weapons and supplies.
Along the way, they encountered many Wanderers. They formed groups and headed towards the wild building. Many of the groups were led by cultivators from Black Rock City.
As they had suffered too many losses over the past few days, Black Rock City had split up some battle teams. A Black Rock cultivator led a dozen Wanderers and wild cultivators to clear out the corpse monsters, and they had achieved quite a good result.
Tang Zhen’s group of three ignored these people. They merely hurried on with their journey.
Due to there being too many Wanderers along the way, Tang Zhen’s group of three stopped and walked. When they were about to arrive at the location where the resources were buried, they deliberately stopped for a period of time in order to avoid a Wanderer exploration team that stopped nearby to rest.
!!
Their unusual actions had even attracted the attention of a rank 3 cultivator from Black Rock City who was leading the team. However, this was a crucial moment in clearing out the zombie monsters. Therefore, he did not step forward to question the three of them. He only stared at Tang Zhen with a puzzled expression.
Only after this group stood up and left did Tang Zhen let out a long breath. His heart had a feeling of being relieved of a heavy burden.
He was clearly here to take his things, but he had to do it like a thief. This kind of feeling made Tang Zhen extremely displeased.
When they arrived at the location where the resources were buried, Tang Zhen repeatedly confirmed that there were no more Wanderers passing by. Then, he got da Xiong to be on guard while he and Qian Long quickly cleared away the dirt and debris on the ground, revealing the battle Blades and various resources hidden underneath.
Upon seeing so many weapons hidden underground, thousand Dragon was stunned.
After all, to Wanderers, weapons and equipment also represented wealth, so these weapons also represented a large amount of brains.
After taking out one of the weapons and examining it carefully, thousand Dragon nodded and said that it was a good weapon. If he were to sell it, he should be able to get a good price.
However, thousand Dragon had also warned Tang Zhen that the weapon shops in Wanderer town all had the backing of important figures in Black Rock City. If he rashly sold these weapons, he might offend some people. He had to be careful.
Tang Zhen did not expect such a thing to happen. He immediately opened his mouth and asked Qian Long.
The thousand Dragons replied. On the surface, the Wanderer town seemed to have been established by a powerful Wanderer, but in reality, the power behind it came from Black Rock City.
The owner of Wanderer town’s weapons shop was said to be a high-ranking official in Black Rock City.
If Tang Zhen wanted to sell weapons in Wanderer town, it would be equivalent to snatching business from Lou Cheng’s forces. He would definitely be viewed with hostility and suppressed by those people.
This was a difficult problem. After all, his Foundation was not very stable yet. If he rashly made another enemy on the surface, it would not be good for him.
However, this batch of weapons could be exchanged for the brain Pearl that Tang Zhen urgently needed. He was extremely reluctant to give up on selling them.
This kind of somewhat helpless feeling made Tang Zhen increasingly feel how important it was to possess his own city and strength!
When he did business in his own city, he didn’t have to worry about any forces. It was not like now, when he did business, he was afraid of making enemies.
However, this was something that could not be helped. After all, the profits from weapons were so huge. He knew it, and so did others. It was such a piece of cake, who would be willing to let go easily and let others have a share?
He would take it one step at a time. Right now, he had to move these things back to the cave he was staying in.
These things were not light, but fortunately, da Xiong was very strong, and he was able to carry those weapons by himself. Tang Zhen and the thousand Dragons shared the remaining resources, and it was quite easy for them.
On their way back, the three of them, who were carrying huge bags, naturally attracted the attention of many Wanderers.
Some of the Wanderers with sharp eyes could even faintly judge that the supplies that Tang Zhen and the others were carrying were most likely a pile of weapons and living supplies.
These people’s eyes were filled with greed and ferocity. If it weren’t for the people coming and going, and the fact that it was close to Wanderer town, they probably wouldn’t mind being a temporary guest of bandits.
Every time Tang Zhen noticed this kind of gaze, he would have an impulse to pull out his gun and kill the other party.
Damn it, you even dare to covet my things, you’re really tired of living!
Before dark, the three of them finally returned to the cave. However, in order to prevent any accidents from happening, they did not rest along the way, so they were so tired that they were panting.
There was no such thing as light travel on a long journey, not to mention that the road in the wilderness was difficult to walk on. Therefore, after returning, even da Xiong, who was muddleheaded, complained that he was tired.
Tang Zhen felt that this method of transporting resources was not desirable. Although he could hide his ability this way, it was really too troublesome to do so.
In the end, this matter was a matter of trust. He was always worried that after his ability was exposed, it would attract the greed and coveting of others.
However, Qian Long, Murong Ziyan, and the others were all his companions. Even if he didn’t say anything, they would definitely have noticed something unusual about him and guessed something.
Instead of hiding, it was better to show off his ability in front of them at the appropriate time. This way, he could avoid the process of hiding and at the same time enhance his sense of mystery, making them more respectful of him.
In the evening, everyone began to sort out and count the supplies that Tang Zhen had brought. As Tang Zhen counted the items, he explained the use of these items to them. Then, everyone discussed the price.
Among the items he had brought this time, other than the steel knives, there were lighters, soap, refined salt, binoculars, and other miscellaneous items.
He didn’t have a plan when he went shopping. He just went to the supermarket and bought whatever he liked.
Murong Zi Yan was an ordinary wanderer. How could she have seen so many new things?
Everyone listened to Tang Zhen’s explanation as they fiddled with it curiously, their eyes filled with surprise.
Tang Zhen generously waved his hand when he saw this, telling them to take whatever they liked. In any case, these things were not worth much money.
Tang Zhen would definitely not treat his subordinates badly.
Hearing this, everyone’s faces naturally brightened. They looked at each other and immediately began to pick in high spirits.
It wasn’t easy to do business in the Wanderer town’s market, and one had to buy a stall first.
The price of a good stall was higher, and the price of a remote stall was cheaper. If one had enough money, they could even rent some houses as a shop.
Tang Zhen had originally planned to rent a shop, but after hearing the price Qian Long stated, he immediately dispelled that thought.
The rental price of this shop was too high, and he was currently lacking in brains, so he naturally would not waste money on this.
Thus, he decided to rent a normal stall to sell the resources he brought, and Qian Long would be in charge of the sales. He didn’t need to worry about the details of the sales. He just needed to deliver the goods on time.
