Volume 1 The Endless Wilderness Section 33 Negotiations
"Miss Alia, you're welcome." Chen Xing nodded, then picked up the coffee cup, blew on the hot air, and took a sip.
"Captain Chen, please take care of me in the future~" Aliya sat down slowly, her long legs overlapped with each other, and said with a little squeamishness, "You also know that I am a girl, living in a foreign land and without relatives. It's really not easy to be alone. ”
"Really?" Chen Xing asked. In just a few seconds, he had scolded more than several times in his heart, "Pretend, I'll let you pretend!" But he still maintained a warm smile on his face, "Do you want to ......" He leaned forward, as if to talk secretly, and the other party understood, and leaned over, "I'll introduce you to someone." ”
Alia's face immediately turned cold, her chin tilted, and she squinted at him, looking arrogant and reserved, "You don't have to bother. ”
"At your young age, it's not easy to wander outside alone. If you start a family early, you might as well have a man to take care of you, don't you say? Chen Xing persuaded him, his tone was sincere and sincere, without the slightest disrespect.
"It's you!" Alia raised her eyebrows, slapped the table, and stood up, her eyes shining dangerously.
Chen Xing accepted it when he saw it, so as not to be overstimulated, the other party turned his face directly with him, and then changed his tone and sighed, "However, Miss Alia is naturally beautiful, in this poor and remote country, how can anyone be worthy." ”
Alia narrowed her eyes, glanced at him, and sat back, but she lost her previous delicate and charming, and replaced it with a cold look, with a big meaning of "if you have something to say, you can leave when you finish".
"As long as you pay this month's tax, in the future, this will be the ammunition supply point of the third squad in Orchid Town, what do you think?" Chen Xing asked.
"Don't forget, you, the squad leader, still rely on me to become the leader." Alia looked at him with an aggressive gaze.
"That's why you have to support my work even more." Chen Xing said.
"What kind of logic are you?" Alia's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but scold, "I helped you, and you still want to suck my blood!" Then he pointed at him and said, "You are the snake in 'The Farmer and the Serpent.'" People give you warmth, and you bite them back. ”
"I don't care anyway." Her fair face was covered with a layer of frost, and she said categorically, "No one can make me pay my taxes!" She gritted her silver teeth and said word by word, "Even if the mayor himself comes, it will be the same result!" As she spoke, a hint of gold flashed in her jade-like pupils.
Suddenly, the majestic and mighty breath, like overflowing sea water, diffused out. At the same time, in Chen Xing's sea of knowledge, it seemed that a golden vertical pupil had opened. Brighter than the sun, colder than the moon. Standing in the air, looking down on all living beings, exuding a huge and peerless coercion.
"You...... You misunderstood......" Chen Xing was overwhelmed, cold sweat broke out, he hurriedly waved his hand, and said with a little difficulty, "You...... You think, I can stand on my feet, right...... It will help you even more. ”
"Oh~ Tell me about it." With a cold and indifferent voice, the coercion receded like a tide. Chen Xing only felt that his chest was loosened, and his breathing suddenly became much easier.
Chen Xing took a deep breath, took out a crystal nucleus of a sickle beetle from his pocket, put it on the small round table, and said, "This is the souvenir I brought to you when I went to Longshi Town, please be sure to accept it." ”
"Hmph~" Aliya wrinkled her little nose, picked up the red crystal on the table, rubbed it in her hand a few times, threw it upward, opened her small mouth to catch it, and chewed it "rattle", like eating jelly beans.
Although it was the second time, Chen Xing was still terrified. I have to say that the Flame Demon bloodline is really terrifying, and it can directly absorb the crystal nucleus, ignoring the impurities and toxins in it.
This kind of means of absorbing energy alone is beyond the reach of ordinary evolutionaries. Because in the process of refining, 90% of the energy in the crystal nucleus will be lost.
"If even you pay the taxes, the mayor will definitely value me more, give me more resources and rights, and we are ...... It's ...... again" Chen Xing thought for a while before he found the right word, "Good friend......
"Good friends?" Aliya was slightly stunned and muttered.
"Yes, we've taken risks together, and of course we're good friends." Chen Xing said with great certainty.
"Hmph~" Alia gave him a blank look and said in disgust, "Who is good friends with you." Although he said this, the atmosphere eased a lot.
After a while, Chen Xing came out of the store, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and walked towards the camp. It's not an easy thing to do.
In the afternoon, Chen Xing met with Father Ma, the community chief of the "Coastal Community", in the office of the third squad. The name of this neighborhood has nothing to do with the actual situation, it is purely the mayor's brain.
Father Ma is the head of the Orchid Town Church and the head of the Coastal Community.
"May the true God bless you." Priest Ma saluted Chen Xing and bowed down and said.
Chen Xing returned the salute. The security of the community is generally better, and the residence tax is relatively easy to collect, so it is enough to send three people to manage it on a permanent basis.
"Captain Chen Xing, this month's residence tax has been collected, please check." After saying that, Father Ma came over with a black watch over more than a hundred gold coins.
The residency tax varies from person to person, but it is not high and is only paid by adults. Generally speaking, each family has two to three silver coins per month. More than 100 gold coins, about three or four hundred households.
After chatting with Father Ma for a while and getting a general idea of the situation in the community, the latter got up and took his leave. Communities are usually relatively stable, and most of them are trivial matters, which are just handled by the community leader.
And the next two slums are the most headaches. The outcasts are very difficult to manage, and if they are too harsh on them, they will think you are cruel, and if they are too merciful to them, they will think that you are weak. Most of the time, managers resort to high-pressure policies. As soon as there is dissatisfaction, they will be slaughtered immediately, and they will be killed until they are satisfied. Wang Bo used such a method before, which was bloody and cruel.
But in reality, this is a sign of a lack of management skills.
The next morning, Chen Xing took eight team members and drove two jeeps to the No. 7 slum in the west of the town.
There are twelve slums in Orchid Town, named after singular numbers. Chen Xing's territory is the No. 7 and No. 15 slums. And the No. 7 slum is the place where Wang Bo carried out the massacre last time.
"Everybody, our boss has something to say!" Aaron stood on the jeep and shouted at the tents below the dirt slope in a loud and hoarse voice.
