Creating a Different World - Chapter 2620

[Chapter 2620 Black Thief]

These three exploration missions are all normal E-level and not dangerous.

The three of them completed the mission very easily, although it took a lot of time. After all, the area is still quite large, and it is not so fast to collect intelligence in the entire area.

Tatanil is on the Baishui River side, the closest, so he returned first.

Meili was the second.

The two female adventurers waited for about an hour before Jia Zhengjin returned from the mangroves and arrived at the stable.

“How is it?” Meili came over and asked after the gathering.

“The intelligence has been collected, and there is no problem.” Jia Zhengjin shook the animal skin paper recording the intelligence.

“There is no problem here either!” Tatanil showed his results.

“My mission was successfully completed.” Meili was completely relieved, “This trip was very smooth, we can go back!”

“It’s still early, why don’t we go into the city to investigate the commodity intelligence?” Jia Zhengjin looked at the time and said to them, “Anyway, I’m free.”

“This is not very important now,” Meili looked at him, “Are you thinking about the really important issues?”

Hearing this, Tatanil immediately stared at Jia Zhengjin.

“I’m considering it. Don’t be so anxious!” Jia Zhengjin waved his hand and said, “How about going into the city? Or just go back the same way?”

“Yeah.” Meili and Tatanil looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, they nodded.

So the three of them drove the carriage into Wuzhu City, walking through the streets to collect prices and specific information about various commodities.

While the two female adventurers were collecting information seriously, Jia Zhengjin had been thinking about creating a mercenary group. Meili talked about the benefits of creating an adventure group, which was indeed very tempting.

“Let’s go to this store and take a look!” Going further, passing a grocery store, Meili and Tatanil got off the car immediately.

Jia Zhengjin parked the carriage outside the store and followed them.

“Boss, what is this?”

“A comb made of tung oil wood, very effective in cleaning hair!”

“It sounds great, how much is it?”

“15 copper coins a comb!”

“So expensive? If you buy more, can it be cheaper?”

“That depends on how much you buy.”

While the two female adventurers were chattering with the store owner, Jia Zhengjin was also thinking about creating an adventure group. During this time, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the carriage outside the door.

“Cohen, what do you think?” At this time, Tatanil turned around and asked him.

“Huh? What?”

“Didn’t you hear? The topic we just discussed.”

“I’m thinking about something.”

“Then let me ask again, this tung oil wood comb is 13 copper coins a comb, but you need to buy more than 50 at a time. Do you think it’s worth it? When we take it back and sell it, will there be any profit?” Tatanil asked.

“11 copper coins!” Jia Zhengjin said immediately, “Otherwise, we won’t even make enough money for the round-trip fare.”

“Boss, did you hear that? How about 11 copper coins?” Meili and Tatanil immediately turned to the grocery store owner.

“No, no!” The grocery store owner shook his head desperately, “It’s too low, I can’t make any money.”

“How can I not make any money? I guess the price from the carpenter should not exceed 8 copper coins, right?” Meili said, “11 copper coins will make some money, after all, I bought so much at one time!”

“No, no.”

The two female adventurers argued with the boss in the store for a long time, but finally failed to reach an agreement, and came out with Jia Zhengjin.

“In fact, 12 copper coins a comb, this business can also be done!” Tatanil said after getting in the car.

“Indeed, I feel that this kind of comb can be sold well.” Meili nodded in agreement and took out a piece of brown paper with full writing, “The information has been collected almost, and the products that can make money are probably here. Let’s go back and think about it, maybe we can try it later.”

“Okay, let’s go!” Jia Zhengjin waved the whip and turned the carriage around to the Wuzhu city gate.

Along the way, you can see many guards running around, as if they are chasing someone.

Meili and Tatanil didn’t notice it. They were talking about product information and studying the feasibility of various businesses along the way. After all, now that they have money, maybe they can start a small business.

Jia Zhengjin did not intervene in their conversation. The carriage drove all the way, and after coming out of Wuzhu City, it slowly moved away.

When they were far enough away from Wuzhu City and came to a more remote road, Jia Zhengjin stopped the carriage on the side of the road.

“Do you need to rest?” Meili and Tatanil got off the car immediately. After all, the horses pulling the carriage were inferior and their physical strength was not that good.

Jia Zhengjin got off the car and knocked on the board: “The one below, come out!”

This scared Meili and Tatanil, and they immediately looked down at the bottom of the carriage: “Is there anyone below?”

Because there was a baffle at the wheel, it could not be seen from the left and right sides.

When Jia Zhengjin’s voice fell, there was indeed a movement under the carriage, and soon a masked man came out.

This guy was very short, about 1.55 meters, dressed in black clothes and robes, holding a sharp dagger in his hand, with only his eyes exposed. At first glance, he was a thief.

Normal people are wary of thieves. Meili and Tatanil took out their weapons at the same time and stared at each other.

“How did you know I was hiding under there?” The black-clad thief was also very wary and asked Jia Zhengjin.

“Nonsense! How could I not be familiar with this carriage?” Jia Zhengjin said, “Besides, I noticed when you hid in there. At the door of the grocery store, right?”

“At that time?!” Meili and Tatanil were shocked and looked at the black-clad thief in disbelief, “You hid under the carriage for such a long time, it’s amazing, right? How did you do it?”

The black-clad thief did not answer them, but asked Jia Zhengjin: “Since you already knew it, why didn’t you tell the guards? There were many opportunities on the road, right?”

“Indeed, but there is no need.” Jia Zhengjin shrugged, “Tell me! Why are you being hunted?”

The black-clad thief hesitated and said, “Can I trust you?”

“You didn’t tell the guards and brought you out of the city. Are you not trustworthy?” Jia Zhengjin asked back.

“That’s right…”

“So, can you tell me why you were chased by the guards?” Jia Zhengjin asked with his arms folded in front of his chest.

Meili and Tatanil were also full of questions.

“Actually.” The black-clothed thief scratched his head and said embarrassedly, “I received a mission to investigate the city lord’s private life to see if he kept other women outside without the city lord’s wife’s knowledge. After a few days of surveillance, I finally found out the truth and discovered that the city lord had a private meeting with a noble lady. However, he was accidentally discovered by the guards, but fortunately he escaped in time. Maybe the city lord didn’t want the news to leak, so he caused a sensation in the city. However, the city lord still didn’t dare to exaggerate too much, fearing that the city lord’s wife would know, so he didn’t completely block the city gate, giving me the opportunity to escape with your car.”
