Gu Chen searched for the figures of old boxers and double swordsmen in the queue, but found nothing. Although most of the pioneers would come to the cart shop to replenish elixirs, there were also a few people who did not buy Gewufang tents.
Most of those characters are high-ranking people who have escaped from common sense, or have their own supply channels. Even Gu Chen can't force them at this stage.
After all, they had met once before, and Gu Chen could secretly pray that they could find their companions who were lost in Chaos Ruins, although this hope was quite slim. After scanning the long queue in front of him, Gu Chen yawned and was about to go back to catch up on his sleep. At this time
Suddenly there was a loud noise.
"Have any objections? This is the territory of the pioneers. Why do you, a barbarian, come to join in the fun?"
"No, Ulla didn't..."
"You're on duty, right? Where's your team? If they don't come, what do they want to do by sending you here?"
"Um, Ulla... is from another group..."
"Humph, I noticed you yesterday. The tricks you are playing can't be hidden from my eyes!"
"Huh? Ulla?"
When Gu Chen moved his gaze, he happened to see a tall barbarian girl in the queue being shouted at and scolded by a group of pioneers. The leader of that group of pioneers was a rugged man with two short silver guns stuck behind his back. The man
There were two companions holding shields beside him, and they all looked at the barbarian girl with disdain.
"I'm telling you! Pioneers have pioneer rules. If you dare to break the rules, don't blame me for being rude!"
The man with the two guns yelled angrily, while the tall barbarian girl shrank her shoulders in response to the scolding.
"Ula didn't lie...Ula was told to buy Xiaoyu water..."
Although Ulla may not understand the employer's intention of sending her to purchase elixirs, the barbarian girl can feel somewhat out of place among a large group of pioneers. Ulla glanced around with a worried face, but did not see her employer.
, but all the people around him were looking at him with a mixture of ridicule and fun.
"What? Did some barbarian jump in line?"
"No, it seems like he wants to pretend to be a pioneer."
"Hey, are you making trouble here, you bastard?"
People who come out of the wilderness are very concerned about their reputation, so there are very few treacherous and evil people among the pioneers. However, firstly, the Chenghuang people have deep-rooted contempt for the barbarians, and secondly, it is related to the distribution of precious elixirs, so most of them
The pioneers chose to sit on the sidelines.
"No, Ula is not..."
"What? Do you have any objections? If you have any objections, call your team leader out!"
The threatening voice of the man with the two guns shook the scene. The poor barbarian girl was like a calf that strayed into a pack of wolves. She was helpless and trembling so much that she couldn't even speak. Seeing that, there was no shortage of people in the surrounding crowd who responded to her.
As a sympathizer, the only one who can stand up for him in the current situation is his team leader.
The man with two guns looked around and saw no sign of anyone coming forward, so he became even more proud.
"Did you see it? I just said you have a problem and tell me..."
"Sorry, I called her here."
The man with two guns reached out to grab the barbarian girl's skirt, but his outstretched hand was held down on the way.
The man with the two guns looked at the bookish young man who had crossed over in astonishment, feeling that he was quite unfamiliar. Speaking of which, the pioneers probably knew that there were masters in the carriage shop, but during this period, Gu Chen mostly stayed in the tent behind closed doors.
When it comes to refining medicine, the number of people who have actually seen him is still quite limited.
"You are the owner of this guy? You are very unfamiliar. Where did you hang out before? Tell me your name!"
The two-gun man who had never met Gu Chen subconsciously treated him as a new junior in the industry, but before he could finish his words, someone pressed his head down.
"Name a big-headed ghost! Who do you think you are talking to, Zhou?"
The person who pressed down on the man with two guns was none other than Huang Xiong, a warrior who had had a relationship with Gu Chen before. Huang Xiong and the man with two guns seemed to be familiar with each other, and the assassin Yue Nu who appeared later also made the two
The expression of the military envoy holding the shield staff changed greatly.
"I apologize, Mr. Gu. This guy is famous for his bad eyesight and bad temper. He has offended many people. But he is not an evil person. If there is any offense, please forgive me."
"What? Lao Huang, why are you talking down to him..." The man with the two guns looked puzzled.
"You blind bastard! This barbarian bought you some medicine and provoked you? How dare you rely on your old man to talk about the pioneers' broken rules?" Huang Xiong scolded the man with the two guns until he was bloody, and then pointed at Gu Chen.
"Let me tell you, this Young Master Gu is the one who really speaks volumes here."
"Really, someone whose words really work?" The man with two guns obviously didn't react.
"That's right. Mr. Gu is the master of Gewufang, and he is also the master who refines medicine for us here every day. Do you think what he said is effective or not?" Huang Xiong deliberately raised his voice to be heard by the surrounding people, including the two-gun man.
The pioneers were stunned for a few breaths, and then with Gu Chen as the center, the commotion suddenly spread.
"What? This is the owner of Gewufang?"
"Huh? Is there really a master who dares to come to Chaos Ruins? I always thought that was all nonsense."
"I haven't met the master yet, tsk tsk, Zhou Chang's group has hit a brick wall now."
The pioneers were whispering. It was the first time for many of them to see the master in person. Their eyes mixed with curiosity and awe were focused on the bookish young man. Gu Chen, who was not used to attracting attention, frowned and suddenly saw
A white-haired figure moved nimbly among the crowd, leaning towards this side.
"Xiao Yi, is something wrong?"
"Yes. Sister Feiyan asked, some pioneering groups have no cash, and they want to use Huangshi to pay off their debts. Is it okay?"
The little white ape running over reported nervously, but this was actually one of the situations Gu Chen expected.
There is no need to spend money in the wilderness, and even bringing millions of silver coins is just a burden. Pioneers often only carry minimal cash reserves with them, and it is not surprising to run out of cash in a few days. Instead,
After defeating the wild monsters in the Chaos Ruins, a lot of Huangshi are dropped. These Huangshi are materials that the government agencies and trading companies compete to purchase. To some extent, they can be regarded as more valuable hard currency than Yintong, so some pioneer groups proposed to use them.
If the Huangshi is exchanged for the elixir, Gewufang will not suffer any loss.
At this time, as if they were attracted by Xiao B, the surrounding pioneer groups also pricked up their ears. There are many pioneers who don't have enough cash in their hands, and whether they can continue to obtain supplies of elixirs, will the strategy activity be abandoned halfway?
It can be said that it all depends on Gu Chen's answer at this moment.
Suddenly, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"...No, Feiyan's burden would be too great."
In full view of everyone, Gu Chen, after careful consideration, still shook his head.
Although there is no loss in the transaction of Huangshi, Huangshi is a natural product after all, and its value is not as fixed as that of Yintong Copper. Therefore, when trading, one must first judge the value of Huangshi, and then calculate the compensation amount based on the value. And the current situation is already on the verge of calculation.
For a desperate female swordsman, such a double-entry transaction is definitely an unbearable burden.
If Gewufang wants to carry out such an operation, it can only be done by Gu Chen himself or by adding an accountant.
At this stage, Gewufang is seriously short of manpower, and the sales task rests entirely on the shoulders of the female swordsman. Of course, Gu Chen must try his best to reduce her burden.
"For the pioneering team who don't have cash, we can write IOUs instead for the time being. Write down the name and amount, and then return to the city to settle the settlement after conquering the Hunhou Palace. That should be fine." Looking around at the nervous faces of the pioneers around them.
, Gu Chen announced.
The pioneers were stunned for a few breaths, and then cheered unprecedentedly.
