The flame vortex emerged from the void, and the two high-temperature flames were like roaring Pegasus, dragging Gu Chen straight up into the sky. Although the cross wind blowing from time to time in the air would disturb the balance, there were no obstacles around it.
, making the room for adjustment much larger than the ground.
When he regained stability, Gu Chen had already crossed the top of the hillside and was at an altitude of two to three hundred meters.
With the whistling wind in my ears, I looked down and saw that the hillside had shrunk to the size of a steamed bun. Around the hillside, the city wall of the north gate, the beasts stationed there, and the commercial buildings with people and vehicles coming and going, all looked like miniature buildings.
can see clearly.
Gu Chen stood in the air with his feet on the flame wheel, overlooking the streets and city-states below. Although he took off and landed by plane many times when he was on Earth, the feeling of being stuck in the shoes was completely different from now. Looking at the vast world around him,
A strong awareness blew away all distracting thoughts, and Gu Chen only felt indescribable peace.
Like an iceberg floating in the sea, there is a certain emotion contained in the calmness.
When Gu Chen tried to explore the source of his emotion, he found that it was some kind of conviction.
Confidence in one's own power.
The belief that you can do things that others cannot.
"call……"
Gu Chen slowly exhaled and looked down at his hands. He tried to clench his fists, then loosen them, and then clenched them again. Such movements had no practical meaning, but were just a ritual for Gu Chen to confirm himself.
Ever since he traveled to another world and was dubbed a "leaf-eater", Gu Chen has always adopted a step-by-step cautious approach to his business life. He paid off debts to gain freedom, and formed a group to repay debts. He traveled through time with nothing.
For those who do not, it may be necessary to act cautiously, and Gu Chen can find more than a hundred reasons to explain the rationality of his policy.
However, these reasons and excuses are all rubbish before that strong awareness.
This is not the earth, but the Chenghuang of the Spiritual Brahma Current.
He is not an ordinary person, but a master who controls the spirit surge.
Just like the boundless sky in front of him, nothing can limit him. The only one who can limit him is himself. Those mediocre common sense brought from the earth are driven by these common sense to make all kinds of actions that they think are appropriate. At this moment
Looking back, I realized how ridiculous it was.
Even though you have the wings to soar into the sky, you have to drag a lead weight around in the mud. It's so stupid!
Gu Chen turned his head and looked left and right, and all he could see was the bottomless and endless sky. It felt like the rising sun had driven away the thick fog that shrouded the mountain road. His vision suddenly became clearer, and even his mind felt extremely comfortable.
Dapeng rides on the wind in one day and soars up to 90,000 miles!
Since you have the wings to soar into the sky, there is no need to continue rolling in the mud. Since you want to rise straight up, then cut off the lead rope on your body! Gu Chen took a deep breath, lowered his head and scanned the streets below, focusing on one of them.
On top of the shopping mall.
A signboard reading "Rishengchang" hangs at the door of the store, and there is a lot of traffic in front of it.
Gu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up to the sky and roared loudly. Then he stamped his feet, stepped on the flaming wheel and descended towards the street.
……………………
The shopping mall in Rishengchang has been overcrowded in recent days.
The reason for this situation is that not long ago, Cui Wutuo's team was attacked by a strange monster and returned defeated. The opponent was a small stone ant that frightened all the southern barbarians. Almost all the team members from Cui Wu, the beast commander, down were defeated. In addition,
The damage to the pack animals and cargo cages was also quite serious.
It is said that thanks to the help of a certain branch group, the entire team was able to avoid the worst possible outcome of being wiped out. This can be said to be a blessing among misfortunes. However, cleaning up the aftermath of this unexpected disaster has placed a heavy burden on the Liyang branch.
For example, the cost of healing and recuperating for an injured packhand, the cost of repairing and reinforcing the damaged cage car, the food and grass consumed by the frightened pack animals, and the cost of resupplying damaged goods. The expenses are added up to make the account that has just improved a little bit.
The surplus was instantly knocked back to the level of a bleeding deficit.
As the branch chief of the Liyang branch, Bai Minghua has seen big storms, and the attack on the pack team is not a rare disaster. Therefore, he was shocked, but Bai Minghua was still able to maintain his composure and dispatch the trading company's resources to deal with the situation.
Endgame.
What broke this balance was a request for payment that added fuel to the fire.
The requisition form did not mention anything about rescuing the pack team. It only listed the consumed elixirs at market prices, plus a corresponding service fee. The elixirs were expensive, and the amount on the requisition form made Bai Minghua feel uncomfortable.
She almost threw it directly into the wastebasket, but the signature in the lower right corner prevented her from doing so.
The payment receipt has the signature of Cui Wu, the Beastmaster, which proves that these expenses were actually incurred.
In fact, Bai Minghua didn't believe that someone had the strength to repel the monster tribe at all. When she thought about it, the thing was probably that Cui Wu and others were attacked by the monsters, and after desperately repelling the monster attack, the Gu Chenfang group
He appeared leisurely and leisurely. Then, as a favor for providing elixir for healing, he forced the beast leader Cui Wu to sign the payment request form, and shamelessly wanted to take credit for the cure of the monsters——
This approach is no different from taking advantage of someone's situation.
Thinking of someone's triumphant face, Bai Minghua was so angry that he was shaking, but there was nothing he could do with Gewufang. If he even denied the officially signed document, it would definitely deal a blow to the credit of Rishengchang Trading Company. Even Bai Minghua
No matter how unwilling she was, the most she could do was to offset the amount on the request form with debts, and this was probably the result of someone's calculation from the beginning.
"Hmm, there's no way to settle the deficit..."
At the desk, Bai Minghua chewed on his pen and hesitated, wondering whether he should simply include someone's debt in the general ledger. The amount of 50,000 Yintong was enough to smooth out the deficit for several months, but this way
If it does, Rishengchang must conscientiously implement the matter of recovering debts from Gewufang.
Considering the current stiff relationship between the two parties, doing so would risk a complete falling out between Gewufang and Rishengchang. However, the relationship would not get better anyway, so breaking things up like this might be another way.
"No, no, no matter what, that guy is still a master... Huh?"
Just when Bai Minghua was desperately resisting the temptation in his heart, there were inexplicable commotion sounds outside the tent window. Bai Minghua looked at the window in surprise, and at this time, the tent door was suddenly pushed open.
The shopkeeper Hu Ji rushed in.
In the past, when Bai Minghua was settling accounts, no one else was allowed to disturb him. What's more, Hu Ji didn't even knock on the door this time. Bai Minghua glared at the fat shopkeeper angrily, but before she could open her mouth to reprimand, Hu Ji reported with panic on his face.
"Miss, look out the window! Something big has happened!"
