Global Advent: Apocalyptic Desert Island Game

Chapter 374 Thousand Island Lake, clear spring water

In the western part of the Kongtian continent, a white cloud descended and slowly landed on the edge of a lake.

This is the outskirts of Wucheng, more than thirty miles away from the tall city wall.

Beside the lake, many businessmen riding Magical Beasts are resting here.

Some Magical Beasts lie directly on the lake and drink water to replenish the water consumed all the way.

Wucheng is located in the west of Kongtian Continent and is the central city here. Whether it is the spoils obtained by hunting Magical Beasts in the north, or the rich products of the south, they will choose to trade here.

Looking at the sky and sky continent, the area is too large. Generally, there are few caravans that can directly transport resources such as the Magical Beasts fur and fangs from the north to the south.

Similarly, no caravan is willing to directly carry spiritual rice, tea, porcelain and other things from the south to the north.

The journey is too long, and the caravan’s consumption is too great.

Moreover, the temperature difference between the north and the south is extremely large, and the more north it is, the colder it becomes. The ordinary people need to keep adding cotton clothes.

In the same way, the temperature gets hotter as you go to the south, and there is nowhere to put the clothes taken off by people from the north, and you can load several cars with your own clothes just by transporting them.

Therefore, generally speaking, caravans like to transport their supplies to Wucheng, which is a relatively compromised location.

Although Wucheng belongs to the western part of Kongtian Continent, it can actually be regarded as the middle of the mainland.

There are not only wide roads leading to cities, but also waterways extending in all directions.

In particular, there is a manually excavated water transport here, with merchant ships shuttled in endlessly.

But now, there are a lot fewer merchant ships, because the world is too chaotic.

In the past, although the Mage’s Union Damn it, after giving him enough benefits, he could still guarantee the safety of the shipping ships.

Since the Mage’s Guild was defeated, the water transport has become a piece of fat.

The caravan that has lost its protection can only drive along the river and cannot avoid the robbers along the way.

A cargo ship that is often full has been ransacked by robbers along the way before it reaches its destination.

After a long time, everyone will stop using the waterway.

The caravan stationed by the river used to often travel by water.

Nowadays, they have to spend a higher price to hire powerful magicians to follow their own team.

The owner of the caravan’s name is Zhang Qitong, and he looks more than 50 years old this year and is a magician of more than 30 ranks.

There are about 20 people in the entire caravan, of which only a dozen are Zhang Qitong’s men, and the other ten are the magician guards invited this time.

No matter when, there will be corresponding transactions.

In peacetime, there is peacetime trading, and turbulent times have troubled lives.

For example, the dozen or so magicians came from an organization called the Demon Escort.

The boss of the Demon Escort is an eighty-eighth-order magician named Ouyang Zhanhui. His combat power is pretty good, and he can be regarded as a master in ordinary cities.

He had a unique vision, and soon discovered a huge chain of interests, so he founded the Demon Escort, which specializes in providing security services.

In fact, it is easier to make a fortune this year as a bandit, but Ouyang Zhanhui is very clear about own’s strength. He knows that he can’t be a real bandit.

If you want to truly become the king of self-reliance, your strength must be at least rank ninety-fifth or higher, otherwise it is easy to be destroyed by others.

With his strength of the eighty-eighth rank, the creation of the Demon Escort is justified.

As long as you take care of the bandits along the way, the Demon Escort will be able to flourish.Generally speaking, the bandit leaders everywhere are very tough, and no matter where the caravan passes by, they have to be skinned by them.

But the strength of the Demon Escort is good, if it is hard to knock, it will not be good for anyone.

As a result, everyone acquiesced in this way of operation.

Every time the Demon Escort passes by, pay a small amount of money to buy a road, and you can pass it smoothly.

After the bandits got the money, they didn’t bother to fight against a group of powerful forces, and the two sides had been in a state of balance.

Gradually, the Demon Escort also gained fame on the entire caravan transportation line, and gradually gained prestige and face.

The caravan hired the people of the Demon Escort, and they can indeed have a lot of money left, so the commodity exchange is in full swing again.

This time, Zhang Qitong’s caravan brought a large amount of spiritual rice and tea from the south, including some private salt.

In the past, salt and iron were monopolized by the wizards’ union, and ordinary wizards were not allowed to resell them privately.

Later, the Lord of Heaven was killed, and after the fall of the Mage Union, important resources such as salt and iron were in the hands of the major cities.

Everything belongs to the city lord.

However, the major city owners have limited management of their own city, and many of them have their own pockets.

Many high-level members of the city will secretly resell salt and iron.

For example, this part of Zhang Qitong’s private salt was scoured from high-level personnel in a city.

The caravan has ten vehicles in total. The eight vehicles in the front are all Lingmi, and the two vehicles in the back contain tea.

Beneath the spiritual rice is the private salt hidden inside.

There are two bags of private salt hidden in each car. The value of these private salt far exceeds all the spiritual rice and tea.

Reselling private salt is an extremely profitable business. If the robbers along the way know that it is such a business, they will definitely not be satisfied with the money to buy the road.

“Boss, a bowl of herbal tea!”

Meng Hao sat down at a herbal tea stall by the lake and whispered to a dark-skinned old man.

Next, Meng Hao intends to enter the city with the caravan, first understand the character of the city lord of Wucheng, and then decide whether to attack him or not.

Meng Hao had almost detected it with his powerful hearing along the way. The city lord of Wucheng had soared in strength recently, and he had just broken through to the ninety-eighth step and became the number one powerhouse in the western part of the Kongtian Continent.

At the same time, Wucheng under his jurisdiction is very rich, and the surrounding cities are very yearning.

Therefore, when the city lord of Wucheng broke through to the ninety-eighth level, he directly declared independence, and the city lord’s mansion of the surrounding cities came to vote.

The western region achieved peaceful reunification without much war.

Being able to manage Wucheng so well, Meng Hao felt that the city lord of Wucheng should not be a wicked person.

Meng Hao’s attitude towards different people is also different.

If the other party is really a good person, then Meng Hao will take another way to take away the power of the world’s origin from the other party.

Even if it is more troublesome, but Meng Hao feels that everything is worth it.

It’s just that Meng Hao is a little puzzled, because he also got the power of the world origin, why the previous city lord of Qingcheng was a level 100 magician, while the city lord of Wucheng only had a level ninety-eight?

You know, the hurdle that is really difficult to cross is the ninety-nine level, the ninety-eighth level magician, even without the power of the world’s origin, can easily reach.

Since he couldn’t understand it, Meng Hao simply stopped thinking about it, and he would understand everything when he saw the other party.

“Guest, try our Qiandao Lake herbal tea, it’s definitely a must-try within a hundred miles!”

The dark-skinned boss poured tea for Meng Hao while smiling. He found that the other party’s clothes were more expensive, and he was supposed to be a rich businessman too.

Of course, in the face of wealthy businessmen, the tea stall owner does not have much awe.After all, the strong in this world are respected. Although merchants have huge wealth, their strength is generally not very strong.

Right here, a big guy at the table next door laughed loudly, “Boss Tang is here again to fool the newcomer. There is only one tea stand within a hundred miles of this place. You are not a perfect one!”

Hearing that person’s words, everyone couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

It can be seen that the big man is very familiar with the tea stall owner here.

The boss didn’t mind everyone’s dismantling, and immediately retorted: “You are right, but our tea is all clear spring water from Qiandao Lake. You can say whether it is good or not.”

Hearing this sentence, everyone did not refute it.

This Qiandao Lake herbal tea is indeed better than other teas. The key is to quench thirst and relieve heat.

Sometimes, everyone has the illusion that the tea here can cure hunger.

Hungry travellers came here, drinking tea and eating dry food. Sometimes they drank a few more cups of tea when they were too thirsty, but they were surprised to find that they were not too hungry.

Everyone just treats it as a full drink, and doesn’t care too much.

But the tea is really good.

Hot tea is refreshing, and herbal tea is refreshing and refreshing. When the caravan passing by, they are willing to come over and drink a few bowls before rushing.

Hearing everyone’s admiration for herbal tea here, Meng Hao is full of expectations for the tea here.

No matter how good the tea is, can it be comparable to own enlightenment tea?

Meng Hao picked up the bowl of herbal tea, took a sip, and savored it carefully.

It was a bit bitter at first, but it quickly returned to sweetness. The fresh aroma reverberated between the nose and mouth. The tea seemed to be very flexible and silky, with a soft and soft feeling.

Meng Hao couldn’t help but brighten up.

“Good water!”

Meng Hao usually likes to drink tea, and has a certain appreciation for the quality of tea.

He was able to taste clearly that the tea here is of a great variety, no different from the tea in other cities, and even cheaper.

The point is, the water here is so delicious.

With Meng Hao’s powerful primordial spirit power, he could clearly feel that the tea water contained a trace of Spiritual Qi, which seemed to be brought by the clear spring water here.

Meng Hao couldn’t help being surprised. As expected, the heavenly realm was so big that there was such a miraculous clear spring water.

“Boss, help me make a pot of tea!”

While talking, Meng Hao took out a bamboo tea canister from the storage ring and pinched out three tea leaves from it.

The dark-skinned boss Tang grinned immediately when he saw Meng Hao taking out the tea by himself.

“Hey, this guest official is really particular. He even brought his own tea. It must be good tea!”

“Good tea with a good pot, I have a teapot that has been kept for many years, only for making good tea!”

While talking, Boss Tang took out an exquisite purple clay pot from under the cupboard, quickly rinsed it with boiling water, and placed it on the table.

At the same time, the clear spring water in the iron kettle was already boiling, and the timing was right.

Next to him, Zhang Qi and others who had been resting here all showed curiosity.

“You said, is the tea that guy brought out good tea? How much is a catty?”

“Who knows, but his tea is not as good as ours. We have tribute tea in it.”

“That is, if it wasn’t for the Lord of the Celestial Realm who was killed by someone, we might never have a chance to drink the tribute tea in our entire life.””Cut, it’s just like you’ve drunk tribute tea, this thing is so precious, why are you willing to let you drink it?”

“Oh, what to pretend to be, it’s the same as you have drunk.”

“Our boss Zhang must have had tribute tea, how about it? What taste? Is it good?”

“Or, Mr. Zhang, you can also bring out some tribute tea and compare it with the other party?”

“Yes, yes, everyone has followed you north and south for so many years, it’s time for us to have a long experience.”

“Right head to head!”

The people in the caravan had a lot of mouths and soon pushed Zhang Qitong to the forefront.

Zhang Qi’s eyelids jumped, it’s so special, you just talk, why are you talking about me?

Is tribute tea that you guys can drink?

However, Zhang Qitong looked at Meng Hao’s figure, wandering infinitely in his heart.

The other party has a noble temperament, handsome appearance, and extraordinary gestures, just like a banished immortal who does not eat the fireworks.

Once upon a time, he was also a suave handsome guy.

But after so many years, Life’s burden not only weighed on his body, but also made his hair thinner and thinner.

Looking at the elegant temperament of the other party, Zhang Qitong wanted to shout. Daddy was also very handsome when he was young!

“Okay, just compare with him!”

While talking, Zhang Qitong stood up suddenly and said to the dark-skinned boss Tang: “Boss Tang, wait a moment, I also have good tea here. Compare and see who’s better.”

While speaking, Zhang Qitong winked at the guy beside him.

The guy suddenly showed great joy, then happily rushed to the ninth carriage, and after a tumbling, he took out a huge white porcelain jar.

From the porcelain jar, the man took out another small porcelain jar.

This small porcelain jar is only the size of a palm, and is tightly sealed with oily leather paper, as if there is a treasure hidden in it.

The young man happily took the small porcelain jar and placed it in front of Zhang Qitong.

Zhang Qitong looked solemnly, carefully opened the sealed oiled paper, and then pinched out three tea leaves from it.

There can be no more, these three pieces of tea are worth more than one hundred crystal coins, and the cost is also to be controlled when they come out to force them.

So the guy sent back the re-sealed tea leaves, and Zhang Qitong gave the three tea leaves to Boss Tang’s hands.

“Ah, it turned out to be a tribute from the past years, great!”

Boss Tang is a tea lover. By looking at the leaves of the tea, you can conclude that this is the legendary tribute tea.

Fortunately, now that the Lord of the Heavens has fallen, and the new Lord of the Heavens has not yet appeared, these good things that could only be tribute before can finally flow into the homes of ordinary people.

Boss Tang looked at Meng Hao’s tea, and found nothing unusual.

Looking at Zhang Qitong’s tribute tea again, he made a decision in his heart.

“Guest, sorry, let’s taste Boss Zhang’s tribute tea first!”

Boss Tang said apologetically.

After all, this request was first made by Meng Hao. Although he wanted to taste the taste of tribute tea, he knew it was not polite.

Meng Hao smiled indifferently, and said indifferently: “That’s fine, taste his tea first, and then taste mine.”

After speaking, Meng Hao put the enlightenment tea on the clean tea tray.

I just hope that when you smell the aroma of Enlightenment Tea, you won’t be so happy to fly.
