Chapter 277: Bug Entrustment

After nearly three days of trekking, Rokusawa finally arrived on the east coast of the Fire Country, and came to a small seaside village.

The village is small, with a population of just over 200, and most of them make a living from fishing.

After a short rest, after some inquiry, Rokuzawa found the village chief.

It was an elderly man in his sixties, or because he had worked too hard when he was young, and his body was severely overdrawn, this old man was already gray-haired, wrinkled, and looked even older than his actual age.

"Excuse me, old man!" He greeted the old man politely.

"Is there anything wrong with you, Outlander?" The village chief of Tutai asked in surprise.

Because the village is relatively remote, they rarely have outsiders here, and the appearance of such a young foreigner as Rokuzawa surprised him very much.

Rokuzawa replied with a smile: "I would like to ask the village chief to help me issue a purchase order and ask the village to help me collect some special knick-knacks." ”

"Of course, I won't let the villagers help in vain, and I will buy it at a price that satisfies everyone."

As he spoke, he took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and flipped them motionlessly, making a rattling sound.

"Distinguished guests, please be seated!"

Seeing this, the village chief of Tutai was dazzled and hurriedly pushed out a stool next to him.

Rokuzawa was not polite, and immediately sat down next to the village chief.

"What exactly does this guest want to buy?" If it's too dangerous or too difficult to get hold of, there's nothing we can do! The village chief asked impatiently.

"It's not too hard to find, don't worry!"

Rokuzawa waved his hand and said with a smile: "What I want to buy is some bugs, the rarer the breed, the better." ”

"Bugs?"

The village chief of Tutai was puzzled when he heard this, and said in confusion: "If the guests want some rare varieties of bugs, then why don't you go to Konoha Village to issue a special bounty task?" ”

"With the abilities of those ninjas, they will definitely be able to find the rarest varieties of bugs for their guests!"

Ninja is such a profession that takes people's money and eliminates disasters for others, but it is not limited to killing and fighting, but also includes some trivial tasks of finding items.

Of course, this kind of trivial work that is not dangerous is usually assigned to a ninja at the lower level.

"The village chief misunderstood!"

Rokuzawa shook his head and patiently explained: "What I want is not a single rare bug, but a large number of different kinds of bugs. ”

"You can understand that I'm a bug buyer, not a bug collector."

"So, I value the number and type of bugs more than the rarity."

"A mission like this isn't for ninjas."

All in all, this is a tedious and laborious collection task.

Ninjas are certainly very efficient, but the same labor costs are also high.

Hiring them to do this kind of thing is like hiring a bunch of ninjas to do assembly line work, which is completely overkill and costly.

What's more, he is also a ninja himself.

Even he himself was reluctant to do such a tedious and heavy collection task, and the other ninjas were naturally unwilling to do it.

Therefore, it is most cost-effective and convenient to find ordinary people to do this kind of thing.

"I see!"

The village chief of Tutai nodded, and asked again: "Then may I ask the guest, do you have any other special requirements for the insects you are going to buy?" ”

Although he was very tempted to take on this task and make a fortune for the village, he still needed to ask more carefully for the sake of safety.

He didn't want the villagers to waste their time and energy and be rejected on the grounds that they didn't meet the requirements.

"Yes!"

Rokuze nodded and continued: "The reason why I came to you to buy bugs is because of your geographical location by the sea. ”

"Because in this environment near the sea, the insects that grow in the vicinity will be quite different from the inland, or they will have their own unique characteristics."

"So, I'm going to buy those special bugs that are clearly seaside."

"That's right! That's not easy! The village chief of Tutai couldn't help but sigh.

I thought that I could just catch some bugs and finish the job, but I didn't expect to limit the scope of collection.

Of course, even if there are restrictions, it is not too difficult for them to collect bugs.

Just by limiting the scope, the types of bugs they can find will be very limited, and the benefits will be very limited.

Seeing the loss on the old man's face, Rokuzawa said again: "I know that different insects will have different difficulty in collecting, so I will purchase them at a price according to the difficulty of collecting them." ”

"So, you don't have to worry about some bugs being too difficult to collect, and you can't get any benefit from the hard work of finding them."

"Understood, understood!" The old man had a lot of smiles on his face.

"Then may I ask the guest, is there a limit to the number of bugs you can buy? Or is it an unlimited acquisition? The village chief asked again.

"Absolutely!"

Liu Ze nodded and said seriously: "I only buy one kilogram of each kind of worm, and I won't continue to buy more than one kilogram." ”

"Of course, if it's the kind of bug that weighs more than a kilogram, then give me one or a kilogram of part."

"So, I hope the village can help me find as many different bugs as possible."

"This ......"

Hearing this, the old man frowned, and said tentatively: "According to what you say, if there are many people who collect the same kind of worm, isn't it true that only one person can be acquired for money, and everyone else has wasted their efforts?" ”

"Theoretically!"

Rokuzawa shrugged his shoulders and said seriously: "So, in order to prevent this from happening, I suggest that you should coordinate and preside over the task of collecting insects and let the villagers act together, rather than letting them move freely." ”

"That way, there won't be duplicate collections."

"And I can trade directly with you, the village chief, so I don't have to look for them one by one."

"As for how the final purchase money should be distributed, it depends on the village chief."

As the head of a village, the other party itself represents a certain ability and means, and it should not be a problem to distribute benefits as a simple matter.

"That's a good suggestion! You can avoid the problem of wasting time and effort by double collection! The village chief nodded and immediately agreed.

Although the pressure of overall planning falls on him, it can also avoid disputes that may arise from the villagers due to duplicate collections.

After all, not everyone can get the benefits after repeated collections.

"Then our mission has been accomplished! However, before that, please pay a certain deposit! The head of Tutai Village said with a serious face.

"No problem!"

Liuze immediately responded, counted a pile of banknotes and handed it over, and said seriously: "This 50,000 yuan should be regarded as the deposit I gave!" ”

"Still, I have to give you a word of caution."

"Bugs are not only found on land, but also in the sea!"

"Huh?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and was pleasantly surprised.

When it comes to bugs, everyone's first reaction is that they are on land.

But after being reminded by Liuze, he suddenly realized that there are also insects in the sea.

And if they extend their collection to the sea, they have too many targets to choose from.
