Chapter 105: The Land of Money
When Fang Zheng and his party stepped onto the flat land again, they almost felt as if they had escaped from another world.
"I thought I was going to die..."
Hutao shook her head. She basically didn't do anything along the way, but her whole body was almost paralyzed.
"To be honest, I really thought about how I would escape if I sank into the sea..."
Hearing Hu Tao's words, Fang Zheng didn't say much. She just turned her head and silently glanced at the riddled ship behind her.
That’s right, it’s riddled with holes.
Now the ship has almost completely lost its appearance when it set off. Everything above the waterline is in tatters. Even below the waterline, it is nailed to death by various wooden boards. Two masts are broken and the stern is broken.
There was also a big hole blown out by the cannonball, so that when they first arrived here, people at the dock thought it was a ghost ship!
"I didn't expect that I would encounter so much trouble when I went to sea."
Even Kuang San, who was usually calm and composed, now had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Storms, pirates, maelstroms, seaspouts, fish-men groups...what else have we not encountered?"
"Sea monster, we are lucky if we don't encounter a sea monster."
Fang Zheng is not sure whether they are lucky now. Along the way, Fang Zheng's understanding of "good luck" has dropped very low.
"Tell me... how did she survive until now?"
Seeing Katie, who was still in a daze following Hu Tao, Kuang San took the rare opportunity to seriously consider this issue.
"I'm not saying that, just the things we encountered at sea were enough to kill her ten times."
"Just because we are here."
Fang Zheng was not surprised. In fact, she knew exactly what was going on.
"You see, Katie has been unlucky several times along the way, but every time because of our presence, she escaped. Since she has never succeeded, the accumulated 'bad luck' has become stronger and stronger..."
After saying this, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and made a pressing gesture.
"It's like a spring. The more we press it down, the stronger the rebound force becomes... Kuangsan, you'd better stay with Katie during this period. I'll see what happens next..."
However, before Fang Zheng finished speaking, he heard a "click", and the next moment the wooden board Katie was stepping on suddenly broke, and the little guy only had time to scream before falling down. Fortunately, Hu Taoyan next to him had quick hands and caught Katie.
Otherwise...who knows what will happen.
The real version of Death is coming...
"Mr. Founder, can I knock her unconscious and hide her in my shadow?"
Kuang San watched silently as Hu Tao pulled Katie up, then silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and put forward his own suggestions. In Kuang San's opinion, it was really inappropriate for Katie to walk alone on the street.
It's too dangerous.
"decide as things go."
Fang Zheng was not able to answer, so he could only say casually and let Kuang San make his own decision.
In the end, Kuang San did not attack Katie because she was not sure whether she would beat him to death. Logically speaking, Kuang San had extremely rich practical experience and could not commit such a crime.
Wrong. But we can’t handle Katie’s misfortune. According to Fang Zheng, Katie is now in a state where it’s not surprising that she would choke to death when drinking water, choking on eating, or falling down when walking. They can still take care of her while they watch from the side.
If Katie is thrown into Kuang San's shadow, no one knows what will happen.
So Kuang San also gave up this idea and went to help Katie handle the shipping procedures for the goods.
Although the pirate's cannonball hit the warehouse by "coincidence" and destroyed most of the goods in the warehouse, fortunately, just in case, Katie's goods were stuffed into her own shadow by Kuang San
I went there, so I didn't suffer any loss, which can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.
And then, after going through the usual troubles of not going through the procedures smoothly, not being able to find the truck, and not being stamped and signed by the customs officers, everyone finally left the dock and "successfully" entered Silver City.
Frankly speaking, the first impression Silver City left on people was not a good one.
To be honest, this place is more like an enlarged version of those bustling neon districts. You can see flashing colorful lanterns everywhere, as well as various gates painted with gold foil. Although the roads here are spacious, walking in
The people on the street were all dressed like nouveau riche, and many of them were wearing big gold bracelets on their hands, large gold chains around their necks, and large gold rings on their fingers, which made them look dazzling with gold.
To describe it in eight words, it’s... a feast of feasting and entertainment.
This is a world where status is measured entirely by wealth.
Smelling the pungent aroma in the air and listening to the noise around them, everyone frowned. This was not an environment they liked.
"Next, we just need to deliver these goods to the Chamber of Commerce, and the commission will be completed."
After loading the car, Katie also breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Fang Zheng, Hu Tao and others.
"thank you all………"
"You're welcome...well, let's deliver the goods first and then talk about it."
Hearing Katie's thanks, Fang Zheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but still didn't say anything. With Katie's luck, being able to persist until now is considered the limit. He didn't think it would be rainy or sunny next time.
, in comparison, maybe there will be more problems.
Facts have proved that Fang Zheng's guess was correct.
On the way from the dock to their destination, they first encountered a crazy carriage and almost hit the truck. Then the truck itself fell apart for unknown reasons. In desperation, Fang Zheng had no choice but to let Kuang San take possession of everything.
The goods are all received in the shadow, and then they wait until they reach their destination...
"The boss has gone home."
Standing outside the gate, the arrogant bodyguard looked at Katie, Fang Zheng and others in front of him with a cold face and a look of disdain.
"We will not accept delivery for the next few days!"
"Yes, but we have shipped all the goods, you should sign the bill..."
"I can't control this..."
Listening to the argument between Katie and the bodyguard, Fang Zheng shook his head silently, then turned to wink at Kuang San.
It takes three seconds to understand.
Five minutes later, the owner of the chamber of commerce, who had been manipulated by the "Pojun Singer", came down obediently, signed the goods order, and settled the remaining payment.
Until then, this journey, which was full of hardships and hardships, finally came to an end for everyone.
"Thank you so much."
After getting the payment, Katie was relieved. She handed the promised reward to Hu Tao and thanked her in a low voice. Hu Tao took the reward with a smile and waved to Katie.
"It's nothing, it's just a little effort..."
"No, thank you very much!"
But this time, before Hu Tao finished speaking, she was interrupted by Katie. She stretched out her hand, held Hu Tao's hand tightly, and looked at her.
"Actually, this is not the first time. Every time I do something, it doesn't go well. I fail every time... Everyone... Everyone is unwilling to do things with me..."
After saying this, Katie lowered her head dejectedly, while Fang Zheng, Hu Tao and Kuang San looked at each other a few times, not knowing what to say.
If I were to comfort her, "Actually, you're not that unlucky"... I feel like I can't say this out of conscience.
Because I was really unlucky along the way.
If Fang Zheng was still wondering why Katie, as the eldest lady of the Chamber of Commerce, didn’t even have half a bodyguard around her, now he understood the reason—obviously, Katie’s bodyguards were probably taken over by this eldest lady a long time ago.
I'm afraid of bad luck.
Frankly speaking, if they didn't have the strength of Fang Zheng and Kuang San, they would probably have died along the way!
"Let's take you home. Don't be so downcast. It's finally done. You should be happy!"
If Fang Zheng and Kuang San were fighting against bad luck along the way, then Hu Tao was providing psychological counseling to Katie. Now she saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she hurriedly clapped her hands and changed the topic.
Hearing Hu Tao's words, Katie also raised her head and smiled.
"That's right, I finally succeeded. I should let Father see...I finally succeeded!"
After that, Katie rented a carriage and drove towards the Holy Silver Chamber of Commerce.
To everyone's surprise, everyone was prepared for trouble when they got on the bus, but they didn't encounter any problems until the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Holy Silver Chamber of Commerce.
The smooth journey makes people doubt their life.
"Father, Father!!"
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, before the carriage could stop, Katie happily jumped off the carriage and ran into the Chamber of Commerce. Fang Zheng and others also followed Katie and walked into the Holy Silver Chamber of Commerce.
The scale of the Holy Silver Chamber of Commerce is not small, it can even be said to be very large. At this moment, many merchants and counter clerks are settling accounts and discussing transactions in front of the counter. When Fang Zheng and others walked into the Chamber of Commerce, they saw Katie running all the way.
He came to the counter and stood in front of a tall, thin man with a serious face and wearing one-sided gold-rimmed glasses.
"Katie?"
Seeing Katie, the man wearing single-sided gold-rimmed glasses frowned.
"You're back? How is this business?"
"Yes, Father, I have finished this business. Look, the other party has already signed the receipt!"
As she spoke, Katie happily took out the bill of goods from her arms and handed it over.
But what people didn't expect was that after hearing Katie's words, her father's face suddenly turned pale.
"What? You completed it successfully?!"
With these words, Fang Zheng suddenly found that the originally lively hall suddenly became dead silent.
Chapter completed!
