Hou Tielong bowed his head to the ground and slowly stood up with an unconcealable excitement.
Initially, he was confident that he could successfully survive by relying on the information he had as his bargaining chip.
As for whether he had to survive without resources or survive as a cripple after they beat him up was unknown.
However, his heart was immediately filled with enthusiasm after seeing that Su Mo did not show evident grudges against him.
His mind was clear and active.
!!
In his eyes, Feng Long’s face began to be blue and was gradually replaced with his own.
‘I might be able to become a part of Su Mo’s territory and live under his command…
‘As long as I succeed, my days to come will…”
The thought flashed in his mind, and his expression instantly filled with determination as he glanced at Su Mo again.
He was ruthless and was willing to do anything for profit in Origin Territory. He was a figure that made ordinary people retreat three feet away if they encountered him.
However, no one would have thought he was the core member of Su Mo’s fanbase when he first transmigrated into the wasteland.
This was a deep secret that he had kept in his heart and never told anyone else before.
Now that he had seen the real person in front of him, the dream that he had never dared to have before began to surface in his mind.
It was not until Su Mo coughed again that his thoughts were interrupted.
“Tell me. Where and how did Sun Bahu get the weapons? You seem to know…in detail?” Su Mo squinted his eyes and lightly tapped on the table with one finger.
“I know. I know everything in detail!” After hearing and realizing it was Su Mo’s voice asking him questions this time. Hou Tielong immediately collected himself and replied.
“Almighty Su, Sun Bahu’s stuff all came from a large ruin. That ruin seemed to be left behind by a group of wasteland players named the Blazelanders. The ruins were filled with highly advanced weapons and could be used by anyone verified as human by the weapons.
“You must be curious why I know so much about it. It’s because we bounty hunters were the first to discover the news about the ruins. Sun Bahu…He is just an ordinary person that got lucky!”
Hou Tielong smiled ironically and started to honestly explain the whole situation. He no longer bothered to hide his identity as a fan of Su Mo and began to tell them everything he knew.
“You should already know that plenty of people in Origin Territory are bounty hunters. They specialize in capturing those in bounty orders issued by the territory and earn bounty rewards.
“In fact, before the territory started to issue bounty orders, our profession was not called bounty hunters. Instead, we were named the wilderness adventurers. We specialize in finding all sorts of treasures, ruins, and resources hidden in the New World. We relied on selling these kinds of information to survive.”
“It was only after the bounty orders started to be issued and the worsening of the disaster that we gradually were titled the bounty hunters.”
“Oh? This is the first I’ve heard about it.”
Su Mo had always been curious about the living conditions of other humans in other parts of the New World and how the characteristics of the human gathering places had evolved in the wasteland.
Su Mo nodded, showing an interest in Hou Tielong’s topic.
“Before the name changed, there were about thirty wilderness adventure teams in Origin Territory. Among the top ten teams, the largest had more than four hundred people, and the smallest was a little over two hundred people. A team like mine with twenty-plus people was regarded as nothing compared to them.
“At that time, the team with more than four hundred people was called The Disciplined, which meant that they maintained discipline and religiously searched deserted places to find buried ruins.”
“Sun Bahu was a member of The Disciplined?” Feng Long interjected with a question.
“You’re right. A little over a month ago, Sun Bahu was one of the small team captains within The Disciplined, with more than thirty people under his command. His team was mainly responsible for the search in the northeast of the territory!”
Hou Tielong showed a slightly envious expression when mentioning this part of the story.
“He was incredibly lucky. In fact, he was not the first to discover the location and information about this large ruin. However, the person who stumbled upon it first did not recognize its value and was extremely weak. Seeing that it was dangerous, he did not dare to go inside to explore and find out what was within the ruin. Thus, he returned with news of the ruin and sold the information in Origin Territory.
“This location happened to be in Sun Bahu’s search area, and he was directly given the responsibility to investigate after The Disciplined bought the information at a high cost.”
“Initially, Sun Bahu had recruited experienced people in our profession to explore the ruins together. One of my friends happened to be recruited and was involved in exploring the ruin.”
The complicated story was not easy to explain with just a few words. Thus, Hou Tielong took his time and narrated it slowly from the beginning and occasionally stopped to recall some details.
