Super Mechanic: God of Superpowers!

Chapter 17 Deals and Intelligence

At that moment, the girl suddenly saw Ye Xiu pick up the pistol from the ground, and her legs went weak.

"Brothers, please spare me! I have an eighty-year-old mother and a nine-year-old brother, and in between..." the girl pleaded.

"Alright, enough nonsense, what's your name?" Ye Xiu said calmly.

"Zhang Shiying," Zhang Shiying replied.

"Take me to your settlement."

……

Meanwhile, in the dense forest, several black SUVs slowly came to a stop. Number One glanced at the sky and frowned.

"Captain, it's getting late. Should we take a break?" one of the test subjects said.

Number One's eyes flickered slightly, then he gritted his teeth and said, "No, continue the pursuit at full speed! We must catch up with Number One as soon as possible!"

"it is good."

……

Not long after, Ye Xiu arrived at the settlement of wanderers.

Upon seeing two unfamiliar faces, the residents of the settlement looked at them with wariness.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a square face walked over.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Zhang Shiying quickly ran over and whispered, "Dad."

"You've been out causing trouble again. You'll get into trouble sooner or later." Zhang Guowei glared at Zhang Shiying, then turned his gaze to Ye Xiu and the other person, saying:

"You must be outsiders who have strayed into the Devil's Forest by mistake. But we're not running a charity shop here. If you want food, you have to give something in return."

"Considering my daughter was naughty just now and even offended you, I'm willing to do business with you."

"You two know our rules here, right?"

Ye Xiu raised an eyebrow and asked, "What rules?"

"Bartering is the only way to exchange our currency. The currencies of the six kingdoms are just worthless scraps of paper for us to use in the latrine," Zhang Guowei said casually.

"No problem," Ye Xiu said with a smile. This was exactly what he wanted, as neither he nor Han Xiao had a single penny on them.

"Come on, I'll take you to the store. See what you need," Zhang Guowei said, walking deeper into the camp.

Ye Xiu and Han Xiao exchanged a glance, confident in their strength, and followed.

On the way, the wanderers saw the two of them and began to discuss it in hushed tones.

"It's been a long time since any outsiders have come."

"Hey, that guy in the white shirt is kind of handsome!"

How handsome?

"Just as handsome as you."

"Oh? He does look quite handsome."

Soon, Ye Xiu arrived at a shop converted from an abandoned bus, which was filled with food and guns and ammunition.

There were many loiterers standing inside and outside the bus, holding all kinds of guns. They would not hesitate to shoot if Ye Xiu and his companion did anything reckless.

Ye Xiu was secretly on guard, but on the surface he said with a smile, "We need a map, five bottles of mineral water, instant noodles, dry bread..."

As he spoke, he pulled a bunch of bullets from Han Xiao's bag and said, "Use these to pay."

"Ammunition?!" Some of the vagrants' eyes lit up at the sight, and their breathing became rapid.

In the wilderness, guns, ammunition, and food are genuine hard currency, often even more precious and attractive than gold.

"Be careful," Zhang Guowei waved his hand and said seriously, "In business, you have to be honest."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Ye Xiu and said, "You need at least 230 bullets for all of this."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiu glanced at Han Xiao, and seeing the latter nod slightly, he said, "Okay."

The transaction was completed quickly.

Both sides got what they wanted and were satisfied with, so it was a win-win situation.

For Ye Xiu, these munitions were nothing more than something he got from the guards at the Valkyrie experimental base; it was like finding a freebie.

For Zhang Guowei and his group, this meant they had obtained much-needed supplies. In the Devil's Forest, there was a creature more terrifying than the lack of food.

"Brother, how about some fast food in the wilderness? It's got a unique flavor." Seeing that Ye Xiu didn't cause any trouble and cooperated fully to complete the transaction, Zhang Guowei's goodwill towards the former skyrocketed.

The wilderness has always believed in the supremacy of strength. In the past, many outsiders, confident in their own strength or looking down on wanderers, would either forcibly seize goods or deliberately drive down prices during transactions.

As a result, over time, most settlements became unwilling to do business with outsiders.

"Fast food?" Ye Xiu was about to say that he was indeed a little hungry, but after seeing the rather lewd smile on Zhang Guowei's face, he instantly thought of a very suggestive word.

"No, I'm more serious, but the guy next to me might need it," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"Get lost." Han Xiao curled his lip, then frowned slightly and said, "Let's leave after the transaction is over. We can't stay too long."

"Wait a moment, I need to purchase one last piece of information." Ye Xiu nodded and said to Zhang Guowei, "Are there any large settlements of nomads within a few dozen kilometers of me, and whose leader is a superhuman?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guowei was immediately startled.

The latest novel is first published here!

Judging from his tone, it seems he's going to cause trouble for the other party!

Goodness, not only is he so handsome, but he's also incredibly bold.

Zhang Guowei had actually harbored some feelings for Ye Xiu before, but of course, he certainly didn't intend to force her to be his daughter's husband.

But now, his contempt for him has diminished somewhat.

He was able to become the leader of this settlement, not to mention his strength, he certainly had some insight.

"Let me think..." Zhang Guowei stroked his chin, pondering for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he said, "There is indeed one thirty kilometers away, as for the location..."

Zhang Guowei didn't finish his sentence. Instead, he rubbed his fingers together, a gesture whose meaning was immediately clear to everyone.

"How much?" Ye Xiu asked.

"30 bullets," Zhang Guowei said.

"Okay." Ye Xiu thought for a moment, then unceremoniously grabbed a handful of ammunition from Han Xiao's bag.

This intelligence was very important to him.

After counting the number, Zhang Guowei laughed and said, "There's a place called Tiger Settlement in the northeast. Its leader is a superhuman with the ability of [Muscle Enhancement]. He's quite strong, a superhuman with strength close to F+ level."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Ye Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he pondered to himself.

[Muscle Enhancement] is a superpower, but the strength isn't very high, so it's definitely more suitable for me.

Stepping out of the "store," Han Xiao couldn't contain his curiosity and asked softly, "What did you mean by the last question you asked?"

"Naturally, we should kill the other party," Ye Xiu said.

"Kill them?!" Han Xiao frowned slightly, then said, "You don't mean you want me to help you, do you? Although we've gotten along quite well lately..."

"Consider it a favor I owe you," Ye Xiu said solemnly.

With his current strength, killing a superhuman with strength close to F+ level is still too much of a stretch.

We need someone to help us.

Han Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, then he nodded and said, "Alright, you said it yourself."

Inside the "shop," Zhang Guowei watched Ye Xiu's retreating figure and couldn't help but ponder, trying to guess the other party's identity.

Beside him, one of his subordinates quietly made a hand gesture.

Seeing this, Zhang Guowei shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. Since they are sincere about doing business with us, we naturally can't act recklessly."

The main reason was that he couldn't estimate Ye Xiu and Han Xiao's strength and dared not act rashly.

And partly because of his daughter.
