The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes pointed to several locations on the inland side of the distribution map: "The first type, the most numerous, has eight warehouses. The main function of these warehouses is 'unloading and storage.' The laborers would move the goods unloaded from different ships into these warehouses for storage."

It has to be said that this woman's drawing is indeed better than the chairman's. The chairman's drawing is simple and easy to understand, but it's very ugly.

This was just Zhang Yangqing's inner monologue, and he continued listening.

“I have observed that most of the goods shipped out of these warehouses are destined for the village or other areas, and are basically not transported back to the dock to be loaded onto ships, so these warehouses are not our target.”

"The second category, which consists of only three locations, is where goods that need to be loaded onto ships are stored, and it is also the focus of our attention." She moved her stick towards the distribution map, closer to the riverbank and where the fog was thicker, and pointed to three relatively concentrated points.

"Warehouse No. 3, marked with the dragon head logo: Located furthest west, the guards seemed rather lax, but laborers were frequently going in and out. I noticed that most of the goods being carried out were wrapped in dark gray coarse linen, with irregular shapes, and the laborers carrying them were also relatively casual in their movements. Occasionally, I could see some dark red traces, like congealed blood, seeping out from the gaps in the linen."

"Tiger Head Emblem Warehouse No. 1: Located in the middle, it is much more heavily guarded. The two guards standing at the door are wearing complete black bone armor and have a cold aura. The goods transported out of this warehouse are all of the same type, long black boxes that look like they are made of stone. They are sealed very tightly and the laborers are very careful when carrying them."

"Dog Head Mark Warehouse No. 5: Located at the far east end, near that reed bed, this warehouse is peculiar. It has almost no permanent guards, but the laborers seem reluctant to go near it, and the moving work is intermittent."

"I couldn't see the things coming out of there very clearly. They seemed to be wrapped in something yellowish, like old leather. The shape was somewhat like a human figure, but I wasn't sure. The laborers moved them very quickly, as if they didn't want to touch them for even a second longer."

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes gave a very detailed report, not only stating the location but also describing the characteristics of the goods and the guard situation, clearly indicating that she had conducted a thorough investigation.

Since she knew Zhang Yangqing was very capable, she definitely had to show her own abilities.

This isn't my original world; I don't have that kind of all-powerful influence.

Therefore, teaming up with strong teammates is very important.

With the information from the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes, Zhang Yangqing and the chairman immediately understood the key point: they needed enormous computing power and a certain level of strength to determine which of the three warehouses' goods, and which item, would be transferred to the dead ship next.

This is the work that Zhang Yangqing and the chairman need to accomplish.

Unfortunately, the beauty with peach blossom eyes was actually a bit less capable than Zhang Yangqing and the chairman, but not by much.

In other words, she hadn't even shown her true strength before Zhang Yangqing had already subdued her.

These three warehouses are dangerous. The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes can't possibly explore them on her own; the risks she would take would be too great.

At this moment, the chairman spoke up: "In that case, let's go and investigate Warehouse No. 3 of the Dragon Head first."

Zhang Yangqing asked in confusion, "Investigate what?"

The chairman countered, "Of course it's the freight process. Ideally, we should find a way to infiltrate or obtain the freight records and manifests in the warehouse, find out their transportation patterns and cycles, and even figure out the specific destination markings for each package."

His eyes gleamed with rationality, like something out of a brainstorming session, where countless formulas flooded his mind.

According to the chairman, no matter how bizarre the scenes in ghost stories are, their internal operation often follows certain established rules and logic.

If we can crack this 'freight record', we can get the answer we want, just like solving a puzzle.

To ensure the plan was foolproof, the chairman continued to elaborate on his complex contingency plan: "Of course, before that, we need to investigate the terrain around the warehouse, possible escape routes, and hidden dangers as thoroughly as possible, such as whether there are hidden patrol teams or guard formations, the patrol patterns and combat effectiveness of the guards, the work and rest schedules of the laborers, and even whether there are any special inspection procedures during the handling process..."

These all require extensive observation, analysis, and calculation.

He took a deep breath, clearly prepared for a protracted battle and massive information processing.

These tasks certainly cannot be completed in one or two days. The chairman estimates that it will take at least four or five days to establish a relatively reliable intelligence system.

Of course, his method is correct, and many Chosen Ones do the same.

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes had similar thoughts.

In her view, the safest option when faced with such a strange dock and warehouse is to conduct a cautious investigation and proceed step by step.

The risk of forcing your way in or making any rash contact is far too high.

She felt that although the chairman's approach was complicated, it was indeed the safest way.

However, after listening, Zhang Yangqing merely glanced at the chairman and said something that instantly stunned him and the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes: "Why make it so complicated? We just need to know where the destination is and what 'reward' we need to pay, and then we can just go and act as 'clients', right? Let them transport us there like 'goods,' that would be safer and easier."

"To be a client?!"

"They're treating us like cargo to be shipped over?!"

The chairman and the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes were speechless almost simultaneously, their eyes wide open, their faces filled with shock, as if to say, "Holy crap, is this even possible?"

This method is simple, direct, and brutal, yet it seems to get straight to the heart of the matter!
Their minds were constantly trapped in the identities of "outsiders," "infiltrators," and "crackers," racking their brains to figure out how to investigate secretly, how to disguise themselves and infiltrate, and how to find the rules.

They never considered that they could take advantage of the dock's own "rules" and "business"!
Yes, this dock has boats, laborers, and warehouses, so it's clearly engaged in some kind of "transportation business".

So, wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable for a "shipper" or "consignor" to exist?

If locals or certain entities need to transport certain "special items" to a specific location, the most normal thing to do is to find the dock manager or the foreman of the laborers, pay the fee, and arrange "shipping".

Actually, their sense of belonging was different from Zhang Yangqing's. When they came to the Undying Mountain, they always felt like outsiders and were cautious in everything they did. Even when they did many complicated things, it was for their safety.

Zhang Yangqing is a chosen one who frequently enters the world of supernatural tales. No matter which world he enters, he completely considers himself a local and thinks about how a local would react to this trouble. The result is obvious: it's that simple and straightforward.

The chairman and the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes felt a surge of admiration, and even a slight sense of inferiority.

They felt that Zhang Yangqing's mind worked too fast and was too unconventional!

To achieve what Zhang Yangqing said, the best option is to pretend to be someone familiar with manual labor. Obtaining manual labor clothes would be the best choice. Thinking of this, the other chosen ones would definitely go after the clothes, and Zhang Yangqing has already gotten them.

Now that the plan is in place, the three of us will act immediately, our target being Warehouse No. 3 at the Dragon Head, as it's the closest location—we'll go with the nearest option. (End of Chapter)
