After all, they all came to the door, as an anchor, Yang Chuangrui didn't want to suppress his desire to express himself at all, someone would feel happy if he liked what he shared, and he enjoyed this sense of identity.

"Come in." Yang Chuangrui opened the door and stepped aside, and said helplessly.

The children who had been allowed poured into the yard in a mess.

"Little Stone, you tell them to stay in the yard and don't run around, I'll go wash up first." After speaking, Yang Chuangrui turned around and walked into the room.

Back in the room, Yang Chuangrui put away gunpowder and other dangerous items, just in case, after all, there are too many bear children to avoid accidents.

After a simple wash, he returned to the small courtyard again, walked into the group of children, he felt very relaxed by a pair of expectant eyes, and the bad mood of not producing results all day yesterday completely disappeared.

After looking left and right, Yang Chuangrui asked. "Where did you all hear that?"

"The Monkey King steals peaches." One of the children said.

"No, it's stealing the elixir of Taishang Laojun." The other child retorted.

"It's obviously going to Heavenly Court to be an official."

There was a lot of chatter at the scene.

Seeing this situation, Yang Chuangrui could only open his mouth and propose: "Then let's start with the Pan Tao Conference." ”

"Okay." All the children replied in unison.

Yang Chuangrui suddenly felt like a kindergarten teacher.

"In other words, the Monkey King found out that the Queen Mother held a peach festival without inviting himself......"

…………

This story is told all morning.

Halfway through, Yang Chuangrui found that when he talked about the Monkey King's battle against various immortals, those children's eyes were about to flash with golden light.

So Yang Chuangrui unkindly watered this paragraph for a morning, and he suddenly found that he had the potential to be an online writer, and there was no flaw in the water, why didn't he find it before, he was buried for so many years in vain.

It wasn't until the end of the havoc in the Heavenly Palace that everyone reluctantly left the courtyard, and after sending everyone away, Yang Chuangrui began to study his own propellant again.

After an afternoon of tinkering, he finally found an idea of what to do with the propellant residue, and just as he was concentrating on his problem, he heard a slight knock on the door outside the house.

The voice did not come from the gate outside the courtyard, but sounded directly outside his house, Yang Chuangrui immediately tensed his nerves, someone entered the courtyard?

Then he asked warily:

"Who!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep male voice came from outside the door and responded, "Let's make a deal with you and talk about it." There was no hint of inquiry in his tone.

Hearing the response outside the door, Yang Chuangrui began to quickly search his memory, he wanted to find a face that matched the voice outside the door.

"What is your purpose?" Yang Chuangrui then asked.

"I'm looking for you to work on a win-win deal."

At this time, Yang Chuangrui finally matched the voice outside the door with a voice in his memory, and he slowly walked out of the room with a short sword from Xiaoshi, and came to the door of the small hall and said:

"It wasn't you who last warned me not to trust Pate?"

"Yes, I know what he knows, but I know more than he does."

Yang Chuangrui wanted to figure out what the other party wanted to do, "The other side obviously has a request for himself, the initiative is in his own hands, if the other party's conditions are favorable to him, try to cooperate, if the negotiation collapses, find a way to drag him down, and then you can find a search team to solve it through a small stone." ”

Thinking of this, Yang Chuangrui decided to meet this person, he slowly opened the door, and saw a man in his thirties and forties standing in front of him, wearing the uniform clothes of outsiders, his appearance and characteristics were not much different from those in the town, and the only feature was that there was a scar on the right side of his face that passed through his lips.

Staring at the man in front of him, Yang Chuangrui asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" Why look for me? What is the purpose of looking for me? And also... Why should I work with you? ”

"My name is Kohler, and I'm a group of outsiders who came here with Pate, all from the city of Salroder to the south, and we're all so-called 'explorers.'" As he spoke, Kohler looked at the sword in Yang Chuangrui's hand and pointed to the room and asked, "Can we go inside and talk about it?" ”

After hesitating for a while, Yang Chuangrui let Kohler into the house, and he always remained vigilant in the process.

Entering the small hall and not closing the door, Yang Chuangrui pointed to the chair next to him with a sword, and said expressionlessly:

"Please continue to answer the question I just asked."

Kohler sat down unrestrained and then spoke:

"Our team of 5 people came here to hide our identities from the people of the town, and we disguised ourselves as slaves who had escaped from the West."

"Our original mission was to find out the location of the nearby ruins, but on the way we found the town's exploration team, these people have a knack for hunting those monsters, we know that the town's population is less than one-tenth of the city of Saroder, so we plan to sneak into the town and find out where their crystals are used."

After observing Yang Chuangrui's expression, Kohler pretended to be angry and continued:

"But after coming here, the other three teammates actually betrayed us, and for the sake of a peaceful life, they would rather help people build houses and farm land here, and they are no longer willing to cooperate with us in the next action."

Yang Chuangrui interrupted suspiciously:

"And what about you and Pate?"

"With the two of us left, we are not sure that we will return safely to Sarodel City with the information, and although Pate does not want to stay here, two of the betrayers are his brothers, and he does not want to report the situation here for the sake of his brothers."

Kohler was visibly angry, and continued:

"He just wants to go back to Saroder City and live with his family, and I want to get things done, I want crystals, I want to be strong."

While speaking, Kohler had been quietly observing the changes in Yang Chuangrui's expression.

Yang Chuangrui thought for a while and asked:

"So, you're coming to me? What can I do? What benefits do I get? ”

"You're a Westerner, although your hair color and pupils are different, but we can see your difference at a glance, you are different from us, you must have your own purpose here."

Hearing this, Yang Chuangrui deliberately squinted his eyes slightly, and did not respond, he continued to listen in silence.

"For the sake of the ruins, we don't understand what's inside, but you're very interested."

Seeing that Yang Chuangrui didn't speak, it seemed that he acquiesced in his guess, and Kohler continued:

"I'll tell you about the 3 nearby ruin locations, provided that you take me with you in the next mission, and I will leave by myself after you take me through the danger zone, and everything in the ruins belongs to you."

Yang Chuangrui opened his mouth and interrupted: "So, the benefits you can get are actually more, so much that you can give up the gains in the ruins, what is your ultimate goal?" ”

"I want this town to collect crystals for nearly a hundred years." As he said this, Kohler's eyes lit up with greed, and after a pause, he continued:

"Work with me, you take the things in the ruins and leave, and I'll go back and bring my brothers here to get the crystal."

After listening to Kohler's plan, Yang Chuangrui thought for a while and analyzed:

"First, I can't afford to take you away alone, so I'll have to work with the exploration team, and the ruins found during this period don't belong entirely to me, and my profits are limited."

After a slight pause, Yang Chuangrui then added:

"Second, I also want to know about the situation of the town's reserve crystals, all for profit, you should give higher chips."

The corners of Kohler's mouth rose and he smiled slightly, and said:

"It's not that I don't want to give up more chips, this is all I can take out now, and you can't afford to take the crystals here."

Then his tone changed and he said mockingly: "If I tell you that I brought someone over to grab the crystal and then distribute it to you, would you believe it?" Do you think you still have the right to bargain with me back then? None of you are stupid. ”

Yang Chuangrui stared closely into Kohler's eyes and asked, "What if I resolutely don't cooperate and tell the town everything you said?" He wanted to find even a hint of panic in the other person's eyes.

"You won't, you don't have a position to do that, and the people of the town won't trust you completely, they'll suspect your motives in the first place." After calmly answering Yang Chuangrui's question, Kohler got up and walked to the door, looked at Yang Chuangrui, who was still hesitating, and reminded:

"If you agree to cooperate, put a pot of flowers on the left and right at the door, and I'll see you." After saying that, Kohler left Yang Chuangrui's residence.

…………

Moments later, in the room of the cottage of the small town of Surgler.

How did he react? There is no statement. Pate asked, looking at Kohler.

"He didn't respond positively to my question, so he didn't see anything unusual for the time being."

Kohler then recounted the exchange with Yang Chuangrui and added his own observations.

Pate touched his beard, thought carefully for a while, and said confidently:

"He's supposed to come to me to confirm the information, crystals or relics... There is always something he wants, as long as the interests can move him, the position... It's just a matter of deciding who he chooses to work with. ”
