Chapter 41 Remembering an old friend

"Okay, I'll take the steel pipes with me." Chen Yongying said hello and got the two steel pipes he ordered from Blacksmith Wang.

Next to him, Huang Yingxiong was still following.

"I'll only let you come here to buy things later. It's really too much time to spend on the road." Chen Yongying frowned and said.

The reason why I kept bringing Huang Yingxiong here was to hand over the heavy responsibility of shopping to him later.

Spending four hours every day on the road is of course a waste of time.

As for the others?

Yang Heng is an important labor force in making guns and should not be touched.

Shui Gen is a slave, and it is inconvenient to enter and exit residential areas alone.

Therefore, we can only let outsiders come and buy things.

Of course, if he buys only one thousand yuan worth of things every two days, he doesn't have to worry about running away. After all, his good brothers are still with him, and Huang Yingxiong will not run away.

If he abandons his younger brothers and runs away, he will lose even the last bit of dignity.

Huang Yingxiong nodded: "Just leave it to me."

But he suddenly felt unnatural.

Own……

I don’t want to work for others honestly.

Chen Yongying thought carefully for a while and finally walked to the Pioneer Guild in Linjiang Agricultural Zone.

It was as dilapidated as ever, with still the leaky windows.

"Dong dong dong!" Chen Yongying knocked on the door, then opened the door and walked in.

"Tsk—Hey!!!" The old man took a breath and felt extremely comfortable.

He picked up a peanut on the table, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.

After seeing Chen Yongying coming, the old man suddenly became vigilant.

He silently pulled back the plate of peanuts.

"What's wrong? It shouldn't be time to hand in the task. It will take a month." The old man said calmly.

Chen Yongying noticed the old man's little movements.

Really, he didn't understand.

A warrior can easily earn a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan, and can have an extremely luxurious life at any time, but in the end he lives so frugally.

It's really puzzling.

"Senior, you are a warrior, right? I would like to ask this..." Chen Yongying did not ask why the old man looked so difficult, but took out the pot of pills from before.

As for the old man, he is trustworthy.

If he really communicated with the man in black who was chasing him before, he would have been captured long ago.

Besides, he is also a registered member of the Pioneer Guild, so he can be considered half one of his own.

"Oh?"

"First-order Marrow Cleansing Pill?" The old man raised his head and asked in surprise.

"You should have learned it in class before, right? High school students who failed the exam should also be able to take courses on elixirs, right?"

"First-order Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Chen Yongying was startled.

But what surprised him even more was the old man's words behind him. He stood up straight vigilantly, ready to touch his waist at any time: "How did you know that I was a failed high school student?"

"Hahahaha!" The old man laughed a few times, then filled a glass of rice wine by himself.

"If you're not a warrior, and you're more scholarly than ordinary civilians, what can you be if you're not a high school student who failed the exam?"

Chen Yongying's expression gradually became serious.

This also means...

Myself, exposed!

Yes, those men in black can be searched based on their characteristics!

He is not a warrior, but he looks polite. So as long as he searches for high school students who have failed, the goals for himself and Yang Heng are too big. Only less than 3% of people in this era are studying!

Only 2% go to high school!

The 2% of students who have graduated from high school will contribute to the 1% of humanity's warrior population.

In other words, there are very few people who have read the book.

The two of them have a big goal, it's obvious!

"Time is running out..." Chen Yongying took a deep breath.

There is only one agricultural area between Linjiang Agricultural Area and Jiangcheng.

"What does the Marrow Cleansing Pill do?" Chen Yongying raised his head and asked.

The old man picked up the wine glass: "I'm too lazy to answer. I have a book here, 500 a book. Do you want to buy it?"

"Here is the complete collection of elixirs below the third level."

"This is a warrior's book. You can't buy it in the market. You can only buy it in the guild." "Buy!!!" Chen Yongying nodded without hesitation.

then……

Chen Yongying saw it. On the bookcase, where the price was marked, it was written "Price 200".

Chen Yongying's expression suddenly became complicated: "Um...did you remember the price wrong? It seems..."

The old man raised his head and grinned: "Can't I make some money?"

"Boy, are you being targeted by someone?"

"Recently, the county magistrate of Jiangcheng privately sent someone to ask me if there were two suspicious young people here..."

"There is one, the fat man standing outside before, with obvious features."

Chen Yongying's hair stood on end at this moment.

The man in black from before sent someone to look for him!

and……

The other party is the county magistrate of Jiangcheng!

Standing behind the man in black is the county magistrate of Jiangcheng!

In other words, standing behind the wild wolf is the county magistrate of Jiangcheng!

"Then... what did you say?" Chen Yongying had straightened his body and was ready to react at any time. Although the old man in front of him was ominous in strength, he could not just surrender.

"Hahaha, kid, don't be nervous." The old man smiled.

"Old man, I haven't been to the pioneer team here for many years."

"The pioneers and the government are two parallel organizations. They have no control over my place."

"If you complete the task, I will also get a commission."

"Chen Yongying, right?"

"You're a bit interesting, kid."

"Let's do it well, it's nothing to offend a bullshit county magistrate."

"Just outsiders..."

Chen Yongying's mood gradually calmed down.

His back was now soaked with sweat.

"Then you..."

"Stop yelling and call me Old Man Wu." The old man smacked his mouth and stretched. "As people get older, they have no hobbies except drinking..."

"Wait for me!" Chen Yongying ran out immediately.

Twenty minutes later, there were three more bottles of rice wine, a plate of braised pork head, a plate of stir-fried pork, and two sauced pork knuckles on the counter.

"Mr. Wu, please use it." Chen Yongying's tone was very respectful.

Of course, no compliment or humility is meant.

"On the road." Old man Wu smiled and began to drink and eat.

He picked up the sauced elbow with his bare hands and started to devour it.

Then he had a sip of rice wine, which made him enjoy his meal.

Chen Yongying stood nearby, saying nothing, just watching silently.

"Hey, it feels good!" Old Man Wu ate with his mouth full of oil.

"You have been buying slaves recently, and I know that."

"Although you are not a warrior, you still have the potential to become a pioneer, so I will give you a few pointers."

"Use your brain more."

"As long as the price is enough, warriors can be hired..."

……

"Creak~~~~" Chen Yongying went out and closed the door.

Old man Wu, who seemed to be drunk and completely lying on the table and stopped moving, sat up at this time, as if he had never been drunk before.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the door that Chen Yongying had closed.

"Ordinary people become pioneers..."

"Reminds me of an old friend."
