Chapter 211: Brother Ye, is this golden tree beautiful? Do you like it?
Wasteland World.
Ye Heng brought Sun Hao and Zhang Chaoran, and together with Song Zhi's team finally arrived outside the 13th Special Zone.
Along the way, Song Zhi and the others have completely resolved to join Ye Heng's Sanctuary.
This time they returned, first, to accompany Ye Heng to participate in the trade fair.
Second, they intend to quickly persuade their families, relocating the whole household out of the 13th Special Zone, so that when Ye Heng and his two companions finish the trade and head back, they can follow along.
"Captain Ye, we plan to first go exchange all the points we have on hand for supplies; these points were earned by our brothers risking their lives, and we must not waste them." Song Zhi said.
Ye Heng nodded upon hearing this, indicating his agreement.
"Points indeed shouldn't be wasted, but I don't suggest you exchange them for daily supplies; it's better to exchange them for resources that enhance your strength."
Song Zhi laughed: "That's only natural; we've already seen the high-quality supplies in your Sanctuary, so we certainly won't waste points exchanging them for the zone's dried vegetables and low-quality meat patties."
After temporarily parting ways with Song Zhi and the others, Ye Heng hurried straight to the watchtower.
Luo Song, upon seeing Ye Heng after a long separation, was so moved he almost burst into tears.
Who knows how he managed to get through this period?
Since drinking Ye Heng's alcohol, Luo Song has been looking forward to it every day; even his wife at home keeps thinking of that sweet mineral water, the child's milk has been finished, and he constantly cries for it.
As for the roasted chicken leg he ate last time, its aroma is simply comparable to a top-tier state banquet.
No, it's even better than a state banquet; he dares to guarantee that kind of chicken leg, which even the Special Zone Chief hasn't eaten!
"Brother Ye, you've finally come to see me; I've been missing you so much I'm almost going crazy."
Luo Song, without exaggeration, went up to Ye Heng, almost throwing himself into his arms to cry.
Ye Heng grinned, pointing at the two beside him and said:
"This is our Sanctuary's deputy captain, Sun Hao, whom you've met; this young man is Zhang Chaoran, very clever, and if I ever don't have time, I might send him to move around the Special Zone in my stead."
Ye Heng specifically introduced the young man Zhang Chaoran to Luo Song.
Luo Song understood immediately and promptly shook hands with Zhang Chaoran.
"Hello, Young Brother Zhang, this is the permit for free entry and exit to the watchtower; if your team captain doesn't come later, you can use this to find me, and I'll take you inside the Special Zone."
Luo Song lacks the authority to issue Special Zone ID cards, but giving a watchtower entry permit is still possible.
After a brief greeting, Ye Heng got straight to the point.
"For this trade fair, I'll have to trouble Brother Luo to provide more information; I'm not very familiar with the major powers, and I fear missing out on partners who truly have good goods."
His main purpose in coming to this trade fair is to expand and strengthen all the facilities of the Sanctuary.
Whether official organizations or civilian groups, many possess high-end construction materials and high-energy weapons.
However, since the trade goods he can offer are too special and eye-catching, he naturally does not want to encounter partners with poor reputations.
For example, the previous Floating Light Chamber of Commerce is not a qualified partner.
If he were to trade with such a chamber of commerce, Ye Heng would genuinely fear the other party harboring malicious intent and committing murder and theft.
Upon hearing this, Luo Song nodded solemnly, then took a stack of documents from the drawer and handed them to Ye Heng.
"I had long anticipated your need, so I prepared them in advance."
"In these documents, I have specially marked the relevant information; some organizations secretly engage in small maneuvers, so if you can avoid them, try not to trade with them to avoid losses."
"Of course, among those attending the trade fair, there are still many who are trustworthy; Brother Ye, you needn't worry too much. Although now it's a matter of might makes right, the major organizations keep each other in check, and once they know you have good goods, they won't let unreasonable people run rampant."
After finishing the discussion about the trade fair, Luo Song stood up with a smile and mysteriously said to Ye Heng:
"Brother Ye, after you left last time, I began collecting all kinds of shiny treasures, and I actually managed to get quite a few; in the civilized era, they would all be heavyweight treasures—I'll bring them to you, just wait."
Ye Heng did not refuse; for Luo Song, setting off was a good thing.
He had long struggled to produce more outstanding gold and silver jewelry to offer Lin Meng, and the Sanctuary currently lacks manpower, making large-scale outdoor foraging difficult.
If Luo Song could help him with this, and together they could worship the goddess, that would be perfect.
Not long after, Luo Song returned dragging a heavy box.
If he weren't also an awakened one, he would definitely not be able to pull this box.
When the box was opened, it truly threatened to blind Ye Heng and his two companions.
The box was full of glittering gold products.
"This is a golden tree—not only are the leaves golden, but even the base flowerpot is made of gold; how is it, pretty? Brother Ye, do you like it?"
"Also, this is a golden book; every page is made of poured gold, with purity approaching one hundred percent; the book has a thousand pages in total, and if you turn them slowly, each page bears inscriptions, worth savoring carefully."
"This is a golden cast Buddha statue, lifelike; this is a pure gold pistol, with a thousand rounds of ammunition, also pure gold."
"..."
Luo Song introduced them one by one, and finally produced a small golden turtle, placing it on the table, smiling narrowly.
"The little golden turtle is my favorite; it's said to have a good meaning, and although it's small, holding it in your hand and playing with it anytime is also a nice pastime."
Luo Song stared at Ye Heng without blinking, thinking he had gone to great trouble this time to obtain these finely crafted gold ornaments.
Apart from the little golden turtle being a bit small, the others are all quite large.
Ye Heng and his brothers should like them, right?
Ye Heng and his three companions were already dumbfounded; they never expected that the seemingly stern Luo Song, the team captain, would have such an eye—this is far better than the gold trinkets they scavenged from those gold shops!
After Ye Heng's shock, his face finally showed delight.
"Brother Luo, these things suit my taste! I just love big, beautiful gold ornaments!"
The goddess will surely like them!
Upon hearing this, Luo Song also immediately broke into a hearty laugh.
Great, Brother Ye approves; it seems this time he'll be able to reward him with plenty of good goods.
Luo Song quietly rubbed his hands, waiting for Ye Heng to produce some fresh supplies to shock him.
And Ye Heng evidently did not disappoint Luo Song; he had prepared everything long ago.
In the next second, Ye Heng took out two crates of supplies from his space, each crate half a person's height; Luo Song's eyes lit up immediately, and he became excited.
Ye Heng: "Luo Brother, I was in a hurry leaving this time, so I brought you two crates of supplies; next time I have the chance, I'll prepare more."
These were just excuses; he couldn't possibly give Luo Song too much supplies all at once.
Their relationship needed to be nurtured slowly, with frequent interactions.
Luo Song waved his hands repeatedly upon hearing that, saying, "No, no, no, Ye Brother, you've given me too much; how could this crate of gold be worth that much? Hahaha..."
