Chapter 56 You fucking chopped my chicken!
This is not right.
Something's definitely not right.
The food in this village is different from what I've heard in the intelligence reports.
The intelligence they received, and even their own firsthand memories, all told them that this village was definitely a prosperous place.
But the food in front of me doesn't look like anything special at all.
Not to mention Thorne, who was sitting right across from them, looking like an elegant gentleman savoring his bread, even the other villagers were all beaming with joy as they held their bread, as if they hadn't eaten bread in ages.
The problem is that this bread looks like just the most ordinary, plain black bread.
That awful color clearly indicates the presence of wheat bran inside; as for whether there's sand and sawdust, that remains to be seen.
How did these people manage to eat such delicious food? Could it be that they couldn't even afford this kind of food before?
That damn Thorne is a beast!
No, something's not right. If Thorne really was such a beast, these villagers would never have supported him so much.
It's a trap!
This chicken is poisonous!
Just as Green realized what was going on, he suddenly discovered that the idiot Feng Yu was already gnawing on a chicken.
"Um?"
"Um!"
In just a moment, Green's body was faster than his movements, delivering a powerful slap to Feng Yu's face, pulling the chicken he had just stuffed into her mouth out.
For a moment, the entire village, including the open-air restaurants built around the furnaces, fell silent. In the end, Lester was the first to react and immediately grabbed the axe tucked into his waistband.
The other villagers who had received combat training immediately picked up the spears lying flat on the ground and pointed them directly at Green and Fengyu.
In the quiet open-air restaurant, an echo seemed to resonate in everyone's heart, unheard by ordinary people.
You fucking chopped my chicken?
The atmosphere in the restaurant froze for a moment, until Thorne finally broke the silence.
Please give me a reasonable explanation.
As Thorne finished speaking, Green finally made a timely and correct response. He suddenly sprang up and made a move that caught everyone present off guard before the other soldiers with their spears held horizontally could thrust at him.
He immediately knelt on the ground, sticking his butt out high, his chin on the ground, looking up at Thorne, while making a heart shape with his hands.
"Survive!"
After Green knelt down and begged for mercy without the slightest hesitation, Thorne stared at the scene in a daze for a moment.
"???"
Fortunately, Naro realized what was happening and whispered a few words in Thorne's ear, which made the latter look speechless and suddenly understand.
Then he picked up the roast chicken that Green and Feng Yu had knocked to the ground, took a bite without any hesitation, and then muttered to himself, "You're crazy! I wouldn't even eat it myself!"
Alex, who had been overjoyed at seeing the roast chicken land and was waiting to pick it up, looked away with some disappointment and continued to munch on her bread.
What a pity, it's gone if you're too slow.
Meanwhile, Green, watching Thorne eat chicken without any hesitation, knew that he must have misunderstood something.
"I thought you had poisoned me..."
Listening to Green's outrageous rant, Lester, who was holding an axe, wished he could immediately switch to a spear and stab Green in the buttocks.
And so, Alex's painstakingly designed PUA plan essentially went bankrupt.
However, this wasn't without its advantages. At least after the meal, Thorne was able to sit down at a table with Green and properly discuss the cooperation.
As for Feng Yu, according to Green, that person wasn't very intelligent but was very strong, so he was tricked by the villagers into working the millstone.
Although in theory, village milling is all done by waterwheels, occasionally some veterans will want to try something different, like using animal power…
Manual grinding.
Meanwhile, Green looked at the three people in front of him, who at first glance resembled three judges.
Thorne sat in the middle, with Alex and Naro standing on either side, staring intently at him. After a long silence, they asked their first question.
Are you sure you can make that decision?
Green nodded firmly, and at the same time reached into his pocket and pulled out a stack of blank documents that had already been stamped and signed.
Mr. Loren was completely shameless when he told him this in his office.
It's practically like telling Thorne to bang his head against a tree until it breaks before letting him go home, and then he'd have to say he slipped and fell by accident.
The next day, they continued to search for Thorne to cosplay the axe, and not only that, they also had to compensate Thorne for the loss of timber in his territory.
Well... although it sounds shameless, when it comes to doing it, you definitely have to pursue a little bit of benefit in return.
Mr. Loren may be shameless, but I still have some professional ethics, and that doesn't conflict with protecting my own life.
"First of all, why should we cooperate with you? What benefits would it bring us? With patience, we can snowball our profits. Why should we cooperate with you and split the profits in two?"
Naro asked the first question.
Green replied calmly, "Because White Dome City currently has a great deal of control over some essential resources, such as horses, metals and steel, and even some strategic military materials."
In fact, Green made some shameful concealments about this issue. Firstly, the control of these resources was nationwide and was implemented suddenly. Secondly, his special emphasis on the control of White Dome City was also a reminder to Thorne.
Forces like Redstone Village, which are directly supported by the capital, are naturally opposed to established forces like White Sky City. As the garrison city of the entire northern region, White Sky City will certainly spare no effort to prevent the capital from providing resources to Redstone Village.
Therefore, if you want to obtain those controlled resources in the Northland without alerting White Sky City, then cooperating with the Golden Harvest Chamber of Commerce in Autumn Wind Town is the best option.
After all, what's that saying again? The most magnificent castles are often breached from within.
Hongshi Village and Jinsui Chamber of Commerce are precisely the small gaps that have accumulated within.
"Control? I haven't heard of this since I left the capital." Thorne raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"This just started recently because not only the North, but also the West and South have experienced undead calamities similar to those in the North in recent years. So, in order to strengthen White Dome City's own military power and to prevent the undead from upgrading their equipment, this is something we have to do."
Green explained, word by word.
