Chapter 182: Condition Reset

Harvey drew a red circle on the map with a red pen and emphasized a point in the center of the red circle.

"I'll provide you with a bounty squad, vehicles, and guns, both of which are worth that."

He stretched out five fingers, and Shu Yungui showed an unsatisfied expression: "Five hundred catties of grain? The place you're going to seems far away, and it must be very dangerous, otherwise you wouldn't have to go to the trouble of asking me to go, for two large metallurgical machines are worth so much in your eyes?"

"You misunderstood, of course it's not five hundred catties, and your hard work on the road alone is more than this price."

He shook his fingers and said a price that surprised Shu Yungui: "Fifty years, as long as you succeed in getting the machine back, I will guarantee you to eat and drink spicy food and spicy food in the outer city for fifty years, and you will have whatever you want."

Seeing Shu Yungui's stunned expression, Harvey continued to seduce him and said, "Life has only been a few decades? As long as you go out on this trip, you can lie in the city and bask in the sun every day for the rest of your life, and I will build you a house as big as this house, and you will become the richest and most chic person in the outer city."

This is indeed a very tempting condition, even Shu Yungui feels that it is very cost-effective, although he will not live in the ninth star for so long, but if he gives these things to Zhan Jin and his wife, it can be regarded as a reward for them to defend themselves.

But......

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is no pie in the sky, and he understood these truths when he was a child.

"Tell me, how many orcs are there? I need to know how dangerous it is to judge if this deal can be done."

"Okay, I won't hide it from you, Coper City is the first place where orcs appeared on the ninth star, and the Lacroning Alchemy Farm is the first heavy industry factory they occupied, and according to my detection, there are still a considerable number of orcs who have not left there."

Shu Yungui looked at the red dot on the map and said, "Then how can you be sure that the alchemy machine is not damaged, in case it passes, the machine has already been dismantled by the orcs, wouldn't it be a trip in vain?"

Harvey said confidently: "No, I'm sure the machine is still intact, orcs are not very aggressive against non-living objects that don't move and have no temperature, don't worry, if the machine is damaged, I will pay the reward for this order as usual."

Shu Yungui didn't fully believe Harvey's words, it was a fact that orcs were less aggressive to non-living forms, but after twenty years, even if the metallurgical machine was not destroyed by the orcs, the passage of time was enough to scrap a machine, and Harvey would definitely not pay as usual even if the machine broke down, as he said.

But this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to get out of the city, with vehicles, guns and teammates, it is much better than taking Kony alone, not to mention that he needs to go out of the city to investigate the distress signal and the appearance of the ninth star malignant.

Even if you don't think about the remuneration, it's a good deal.

In order not to make it seem as if he was satisfied with Harvey's conditions, Shu Yungui deliberately asked, "Is it that if I don't agree, those infiltrators will never be able to get out of that room?"

Harvey raised a sinister smile noncommittally, "I sincerely hope you can say yes."

"Since you reset the conditions, I also have a few requests, and if you can promise me, I will agree to run this trip for you."

"Yes, you can tell me about it."

Shu Yungui raised a finger and said, "First, all the infiltrators cannot continue to be imprisoned, and when I go out of the city to find metallurgical machines, they must be treated the same as ordinary people."

Harvey nodded, "No problem, I will arrange the necessary food and lodging for them, and ensure that they can move freely within the Colosseum."

"Number two, I'm going to take someone out of town with me, and among the infiltrators is a kid named Kearny, who must walk with me all the way."

"Child?" Harvey hesitated, "I think the wilderness is a dangerous place, and it's a hindrance to bring the kids, so why don't you let him stay out of town and wait for you to come back?"

"That's the third requirement."

Shu Yungui stretched out three fingers and said, "I will clear all obstacles on the way for you to ensure that the bounty team can enter the Lacroning Alchemy Farm smoothly and get the metallurgical machine, but other than that, Kony and I don't care

I hope you don't interfere in anything, and you don't intervene."

"It seems that your mind is not simple, I just invited you to join the bounty team to go out of the city, and you immediately thought about who to bring and what to do outside, did you have plans to go out of the city even if I didn't say this tonight?"

Harvey looked at him suspiciously, half-squinting, "You're from the wilderness...... Or did you come from somewhere else?"

Being suspected of his identity, Shu Yungui was not panicked, he raised his eyelids and looked directly at Harvey, and said strongly: "You can choose not to agree, but I think since you opened your mouth to me, it means that no one in the outer city can bring back the metallurgical machine for you, whether you want the machine or get to the bottom of it, the choice is in your hands."

Harvey stared at Shu Yungui expressionlessly for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "People often say that there is courage and no strategy, but you are different, you are very smart, I am beginning to look forward to the day when you bring back the machine for me."

He stretched out his hand towards Shu Yungui: "Happy cooperation."

"By the way, there's a condition I forgot to tell you."

Shu Yungui stretched out his hand to shake him, and said with a light smile, "Remember to return Kony's sword to him."

It was a sword from the inner city, experienced people could see at a glance, Harvey was one of them, I thought I could use that sword as a confiscation for myself without knowing it, but I didn't expect Shu Yungui to see the sword hanging on the wall at the entrance when he entered this house.

Harvey gritted his teeth and said stiffly, "Okay, send it to him tomorrow morning."

After a delicious meal, Harvey invited Shu Yungui to rest at his house, but Shu Yungui politely refused, and he walked back to the Jenkin couple's house alone with an oil lamp.

At this time, it was almost dawn, and Mrs. Jenkin was getting up to prepare breakfast, when she vaguely saw a bright light outside through the crack in the door, and when she opened the door, she saw Shu Yungui standing at the door, greeting her with a smile.

"Oh my God, you...... You came back alive?!"

Mrs. Jenkin hurriedly came out, pulled him to look left and right, and made sure that Shu Yungui was not injured, so she breathed a sigh of relief, covered her heart and said, "They all said that you had a lot of trouble in the Colosseum, and I thought you were ......."

Shu Yungui raised the cloth bag in his hand at her, and said proudly, "I said I was very powerful."

He brought back meat and tobacco from Harvey's house, and Mrs. Jenkin, who had not seen so much meat in decades in the inner city, kept asking him where he came from.

Shu Yungui only said that he had won the game, and the Colosseum gave the usual reward, without mentioning his thrilling moments in the Colosseum cage and his happy mood when he searched Harvey's kitchen.

He had eaten enough, and instead of eating the breakfast made by Mrs. Jenkin, he went straight to the attic, and the moment he lay down on the straw mat he found that he was in pain and tired, that his physical, mental, and abnormal abilities had been exhausted, and that his eyelids were so heavy that he could not open them, and he had just put on the pillow, and fell asleep.

While he was asleep, Mrs. Jenkin came upstairs with her lunch, and when she saw that he was sleeping soundly, she did not disturb him, and crept downstairs again.

Jenkin, the mason, was sitting drying his tobacco at the door, and Mrs. Jenkin laughed at him as she passed by, as happy as a child receiving candy.

"What do you know?"

He hummed softly and laughed, "This is the happiest moment since entering the outer city."

Mrs. Jenkin asked him, "Is the entry into the outer city not sufficient in itself to make you happy?"

Jenkin, the mason, could not compare the difficulty of entering the outer city with obtaining tobacco leaves, and he looked up at the end of the street and whispered to himself, "If I had known that the outer city was like this, I probably wouldn't have come in."

I don't know how many people in this town have the same idea as him, although he will face the attack of the orcs at any time in the wilderness, life is far freer than now.

Although Jenkin is not sure whether freedom or life is more important.

This didn't seem to be a question for him to think about, he just had to think about how long he could smoke these tobacco leaves.

Shu Yungui slept for a day and a night, and he didn't even hear Mrs. Jenkin call him for dinner, which scared Zhan

Mrs. King thought he was injured, and went up to the attic several times to probe him for a sniff, making sure that he was only asleep.

The next day, Shu Yungui woke up with the first ray of sunlight, not only refreshed, but even the ability to mutate recovered a lot, he lay on the ground and snapped his fingers, and a cluster of flames came out of his fingertips, this is the ability of the fire armadillo he had just seen, the first copy was not well controlled, and it almost ignited the thatched roof.

Shu Yungui was so frightened that he immediately sat up, and his head hit the beam with a bang.

"Oops, are you awake?"

Mrs. Jenkin, holding a shovel, stood downstairs and shouted to him, "Come down and get something to eat."

"Good! Come now!"

Shu Yun rolled up the straw mat, put on his backpack, and took one last look at the small attic that had taken him in for several nights.

Although it is shabby and cramped, this is the first kindness from a strange planet.

It's a pity that he didn't bring a camera, otherwise Shu Yun really wanted to take pictures of this small attic.

Seeing him go downstairs with his backpack on his back, Mrs. Jenkin's waving shovel froze and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you leaving?"

Shu Yungui leaned over and hugged the thin and short old lady and told her, "I have something very important to do, but I promise that I will definitely come back to see you."

He handed some of the food he had brought from Wright to Lady Jenkin and taught her how to make it, and Lady Jenkin just listened, and suddenly wiped away her tears.

"I haven't been able to help you, but I've been receiving your favor."

She choked up with red eyes and said, "It's not easy to go out, you still keep these foods for yourself......

"I have, a lot of them."

Shu Yungui held her wrinkled hand and chuckled, "Open it up and eat, I'll give it to you when I'm done."

Jenkin, the mason at the door, stood up at some point, half-leaned against the doorway and hummed, "Arrogant stinky boy, don't think that you are invincible if you defeat a few orcs."

He was silent for a long time with a straight face, and only then said loudly when Shu Yungui was about to leave: "Do everything within your ability, remember not to be strong."

Shu Yungui glanced back at them, in the morning light, their figures were stretched very long, Shu Yungui looked at it from a distance, as if he saw the grandfather who was always waiting for him to come home at the door of the house.

"Got it, remember."

He beckoned, said goodbye to the Jenkins, and stepped onto the path that led to the wilderness.
