Lords of All: The Moving Castle of the Dead
Chapter 111 New trade routes
After playing around, their sleepiness completely dissipated, and Zhang Peng and Liu Xingxing sat side by side on the edge of the bone plate platform to rest.
Zhang Peng rummaged around on his body, took out two small sticks as long as his fingers, bumped Liu Xingxing with his arm, and handed one over, "Want one?"
Looking at the stick handed over, Liu Xingxing took it in surprise, "What is this? Smoke?"
"Absolutely." Zhang Peng took out something similar to a fire stick, put the alien version of the cigarette in his mouth and lit it, took a deep breath, and sprayed out thick mist, "It is still different from the cigarettes in the previous life. , the outside is not paper, but a kind of sun-dried plant bark, I don’t know if it’s tree bark, but the inside is a kind of herbal medicine.”
Looking at Zhang Peng puffing away smoke, Liu Xingxing rolled the cigarette on his finger without lighting it, "Can you smoke herbal medicine too?"
Looking up at the blue sky, Zhang Peng seemed very comfortable, "I can smoke it. I didn't discover this. I collected it from the aborigines. It refreshes my mind. If you don't smoke it, just give it back to me. This thing is It’s quite expensive.”
Hearing that it was quite expensive, Liu Xingxing quickly put the cigarette away. He couldn't return it if he didn't smoke it. No one would take advantage of it. He already had something in hand. There was no reason to hand it over. "It doesn't have any side effects? Don't get lung cancer." .”
Zhang Peng turned back and glared at Liu Xingxing angrily, "You have traveled through time, and you are afraid of Mao's lung cancer, and you can't die. Also, this thing is actually considered medicine, and the tribe I switched with is not for refreshing. Xingnao is used to stop bleeding and heal injuries. I don’t know what the ingredients are, but it can indeed speed up wound healing. If you are injured, take one, it will save your life.”
"Damn it, you said such an important thing first!" Liu Xingxing screamed strangely, and quickly took out the cigarette again and put it close to his body.
He is a treasure hunter, and it is common for him to be injured outside. He was bitten by a snake before while hunting for treasure. This world is not the same as his previous life. There is no such fast rescue team, let alone a professional medical team. Medicines that can quickly heal injuries are It's the best thing to have when saving your life.
If it is really their tribe, it would be a good thing. After all, they have acquaintances, which makes doing business more convenient!
The distance is not too far, and they are pure-blooded cat people. There are not many people in the tribe, which is consistent with his impression of the tribe where the cat people sisters belong.
"What about you, where are you going with 200 pets?"
[Warm reminder: There are tribes on the ground ahead. 】
I still don’t believe it, there really is nothing here, dig, keep digging!
The Gopher Man Mobile Fortress does not move forward in a straight line. The Gopher Man is timid by nature. After digging for a certain distance, they will make several circles and make the underground passages look like a maze. Except for themselves, other people are very It's hard to tell where the passage leads.
The leader of the cat people was stunned by Zhang Peng's politeness, but then he realized what he was doing and returned the courtesy quickly, "Hello, the original human businessman."
"Besides, cats are also very capable of fighting. Believe it or not, I'll scratch your face!" Liu Xingxing glared at Zhang Peng and threatened, "I have explored many places with treasures, but I just didn't have the strength to go there before. , now that I have enough manpower, I plan to go take a look, collect some materials, and upgrade the fortress. I can’t just wait for the boss to give me all the materials.”
When it came to business, Zhang Peng also became serious. He thought about it and shook his head, "I don't know. I don't know what tribes are around. Let's walk around and take a look. If you encounter them, let's get in touch. If we can cooperate, Then cooperate, if you can’t cooperate, then change to another tribe and continue.”
In theory, the Gopher Man Fortress can go all the way deep underground, but Zhang Peng did not let the fortress go too deep underground. He needed to monitor the information on the ground to know where the tribes were.
To be honest, the cat-people clan leader sometimes wonders what the meaning of their lives is. They go hungry every day and struggle to survive, seemingly just to suffer, like a group of walking zombies.
The gopher people under Zhang Peng are also a relatively easy race to feed. Although they are not as good as the undead under Li Ziyu who don’t need to eat at all, the gopher people can live by eating bugs. When digging holes underground, the fortress will automatically collect them. The bugs dug up became the gopher people’s rations.
Gopher people are straightforward, silly, and easy to deceive, but humans are different. They are cunning and slippery, and it is good not to deceive others.
For example, if it needs food, it means that the tribe's fighting power is not strong, it cannot hunt enough prey, and it cannot guarantee the food rations of the tribe. No matter how ferocious this kind of tribe appears, it is a strong external force, and it can be befriended or eliminated.
After putting away the cigarette, Liu Xingxing looked at Zhang Peng again and said with a playful smile, "Is there any more? Give me some more. I'm going out into the wild, so I never know what I'll encounter."
The two castles started up, making a rumbling sound, and slowly broke away from the bone plate platform. The treasure-hunting cat-man mobile fortress shuddered, gradually accelerated, and headed towards the wilderness, while the gopher-man mobile fortress aimed its drill at the ground, and the soil flew up. Taking the carriage into the ground, the Minotaur was amazed at the sight.
The tauren knew that the two city lords were going out today, so they came to watch the excitement.
"Yes."
……
After waiting for about an hour, the Gopher Man finally came back and brought news about the tribe ahead. It was a small tribe of Cat Men who were extremely wary of strangers. They were not even able to enter the tribe and were captured outside. I stopped him, and he looked quite poor, so he probably didn't have anything good.
"I have seen the food brought by your men. We like it very much and want to exchange it with you. What do you need?" The cat-people clan leader did not notice Zhang Peng's eyes and said to himself.
Zhang Peng felt like this. He wanted to live and live well, especially as a businessman. His hands and feet were completely free. As long as the price was right, most things could be bought and sold.
After bickering for a while, Liu Xingxing sat down again and asked curiously, "Which tribe do you plan to contact first?"
When he first came to the other world, he developed like this little by little. He came to the door with full goodwill and discussed cooperation with the other party.
This is also Zhang Peng's habit. He feels that doing business is just like math problems. It is better to be serious and accurate. Under his influence, the gopher people who originally only lived underground and did not like to deal with other creatures, He also gradually relaxed. Although he was still timid, he dared to speak when facing a strange race, and even adopted some business habits.
It takes a pair of discerning eyes.
Zhang Peng waited for the good news and finally waited for the tribe to arrive. He quickly ordered his gopher people to prepare to contact the new tribe. Of course, he couldn't do this by himself. It would be too dangerous. Just let the gopher people go. Anyway It's not the first time I've done something like this.
"Ahem, stingy, so stingy." Liu Xingxing was choked and coughed, but he felt refreshed and his mind became much clearer. This otherworldly version of cigarettes can indeed improve the brain. "How can I have any resources?" Ah, to build troops, we have to rely on the resources provided by the boss."
The gopher man said that the tribe was very poor, but Zhang Peng didn't take it to heart at all. His subordinates were still too down-to-earth. To do business, you must have the spirit to sell combs to bald heads and pregnancy test sticks to men!
"Damn it, I don't know if cat people are human beings, but you are a real dog. Cat people can't be sold to you. Just give up." Liu Xingxing seemed to have his tail stepped on. Zhang Peng jumped up and cursed angrily, and Zhang Peng laughed happily.
After chatting for a while, the two went to have breakfast and were ready to set off.
This sentence immediately put the cat tribe leader into trouble. What do they have? They have nothing, not even a house to live in. The tribesmen are still sleeping in holes in the ground. Just make a circle from time to time to expand the number and scope of the channels, and then continue to move in the original direction, digging until noon.
He turned to look at his tribesmen and saw that their faces were full of numbness and their eyes were empty. They were very hungry and wanted to eat meat, but they had nothing. What could they exchange for it? Since they couldn't exchange for food, why didn't they see the merchant? It didn't matter, if it wasn't for the clan leader's request, they would even hide in the cave and not move. This would save their energy and at least they would get hungry later.
If weapons are needed, it means that this tribe has enough food, has a certain fighting capacity, and is not good at production technology. For such a tribe, a certain degree of vigilance must be maintained to prevent the other party from taking advantage of others. But don't worry too much. After all, the weapons Zhang Peng sells are all scraps eliminated by the undead. Even if you want this kind of weapon, you can imagine the level of combat effectiveness.
Zhang Peng read the bark paper and issued a second test request to his subordinates. The first time was a simple contact, asking each other, and no products were brought. The second time was a test, with the purpose of knowing the other party's true identity. Condition.
As long as there are intelligent creatures, there is no such thing as poverty. After all, intelligent creatures themselves are a very good commodity. For example, Liu Xingxing's treasure-hunting cat man is great as a pet. It is furry, not only good, but also can talk.
As Zhang Peng spoke, he straightened his clothes, stood up, and walked towards the gate of the fortress. 50 gopher men with weapons followed behind him, acting as guards to protect his safety.
"City Lord, where are we going now?" After the mobile fortress went underground, the gopher man came to Zhang Peng and asked.
The Gopher Man immediately adjusted the angle of the fortress and moved in the direction pointed by Zhang Peng. A white line slowly appeared on the map, representing the passage they drilled.
After marveling for a while, it was time to go back to what we were doing. They were all allies. We would have the opportunity to see them in the future and we would get used to them.
"This... haha, as you can see, we are just a small race, and we really have nothing to exchange with you." The catman clan leader retracted his gaze and said with a wry smile.
Whether it is food or weapons, they are the most common commodities in the wasteland. Almost every tribe needs them. A lot of information can be judged from what they need.
Another point is that he found that many of the tribes in the wasteland are from the orc tribe, and the gopher people also belong to the orc tribe, which makes communication easier. If he goes alone as a human, it will make the other party wary.
Constantly digging forward, various signals on the ground turned into information and fed back to the castle, allowing Zhang Peng to grasp the environment and what was there on the ground anytime and anywhere.
"Tsk, stupid, you sell the catman to me. I can sell it to the aborigines as pets. That should work." Zhang Peng said with a malicious smile on his face.
Zhang Peng opened the map panel, which was completely dark. This was a map belonging to the fortress. Different from the normal map, it showed the underground world. Only the places the fortress passed through would be recorded.
Zhang Peng rolled his eyes and sprayed a puff of white smoke on Liu Xingxing's face, "I've pushed my limit too far. I'll give you one. It's not over yet. I'm a businessman. If I want, I can use resources in exchange." "
He waited patiently in the fortress. This time it took a bit long. After about two hours, the gopher came back and brought back good news. The other party was very interested in food, but did not have enough resources to exchange it. .
"Bring food, plants, and meat with you, as well as weapons that the undead don't need. Let's go again."
Maybe it was because of the Revenant Mountains, or maybe it was because I was digging in the wrong direction. Anyway, after walking for an hour or two, it was very uneventful, which also meant that there was no harvest.
Zhang Peng didn't know how long Li Ziyu would stay here. If he stayed here for a long time, he still had to prepare in advance. At least he had to know what tribes were around, which ones were cooperative and which ones were unsafe.
Zhang Peng looked away, his smile unchanged, "It's not what I need, but what you can provide. I feel that everything is valuable, and I feel like I can talk about anything you want."
There is no poverty, there is only invisibility.
Taking the bark paper and looking at the information recorded on it, Zhang Peng touched his chin and suddenly thought of the cat people sisters he had met before. Did I dig up their tribe?
The five gopher men took the order and set off towards the direction of the explored tribe.
He was actually very surprised. He originally thought that the leader of the other party should also be a gopher man, but he didn't expect it to be a human. This caught him off guard. If he had known it was a human, he might not have agreed to the deal.
Not all races like merchants, and some are more willing to snatch his goods, but they all fail. After chasing them underground, they often get lost in caves.
Five gopher men led the way and took Zhang Peng to the cat tribe. From a distance, he saw a group of cat men waiting for him. After looking at it twice, Zhang Peng was basically sure that this should be where the cat men sisters were. tribe.
"Haha, the fish bit the hook, let's go and have a look."
While reporting, the gopher man handed a piece of bark paper to Zhang Peng, which recorded what they saw, heard, and thought, which seemed very clear.
Of course, bugs can only be used as rations and cannot be used as real food to increase the number of gopher people.
There is something similar to a sonar radar in the fortress, which constantly feeds back news from the ground. If there is a living thing, it will filter the reminder. However, if you go deep underground, this feedback will become weaker, and you will not even be able to know the news on the ground.
Zhang Peng walked to a place 5 meters away from the cat man and stood there with a smile on his face and bowed, "Good day, Your Excellency Cat Man."
Another world is a brand new world for those who travel through it, breaking the shackles that bind them. The name of this shackles is secular morality. Many moral codes that need to be observed in previous lives are not required in this world.
After greeting each other, Zhang Peng glanced around behind the cat-man clan leader casually, and the smile on his face suddenly became stronger. He saw the cat-man sisters who were trying to hide.
Zhang Peng didn't know much about the surrounding environment or what races there were, so he just pointed in a random direction, "Let's go this way."
Since joining the undead, the tauren have obviously felt a lot more ambitious. If this were the case before, they would not be calm this day, but now, they are much calmer.
Standing at the front was a cat man about 50 years old. He was wearing dirty clothes with holes in them. His hair was greasy and dusty. It hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time. He was holding a stone spear in his hand.
"No, no, no, please don't say that. As you can see, I am a businessman. I think everything in the world has a price, for example, intelligence." Zhang Peng softly spit out the word intelligence.
When the cat sisters at the rear heard the information, their expressions suddenly became panicked.
Why, why did he come to the tribe!
Mengni and Meng couldn't make sense of their dreams. It was obvious that the undead didn't send anyone last time.
