Ark Journey

Xue Zhi started with a very important request, which silenced Wei Yanwu.

"..."

If he hadn't been doing something for his eldest niece, Wei Yanwu might have asked someone to kick him out.

As a second choice, Wei Yanwu chose to continue to understand the situation.

"First, tell me how many people Tallulah has under her command. Can she lead tens of thousands of people to fight against Ursus? As far as I know, the army of Ursus is not a pushover, not to mention that they also have a fleet."

Xue Zhi calmly explained the information she had memorized.

At the same time, many steel plates, some twisted and some with different marks, began to appear around him.

"About two months ago, there were about 20,000 to 30,000 people when I left. As for the Ursus encirclement and suppression, you don't have to worry about it for the time being. When I left, I basically broke the backbone of the Ursus Northern Fleet, and I don't know how many of their troops I killed.

Look at these, these are souvenirs I took from the wrecked battleship."

The spacious office was instantly filled with the things Xue Zhi had put out.

Wei Yanwu looked at them one by one and found that the material of those steel plates was indeed like the armor plate of a high-speed battleship, and the marks on them were obviously caused by magic.

But he didn't believe that one person could accomplish this. The combined power of the fleet was not something that ordinary people could resist, and even the fragments of the Year Beast could suppress it.

Xue Zhi saw the obvious confusion on Wei Yanwu's dragon face. He put away the armor plates and turned the topic back to assistance.

"What I said is true, but it's hard for most people to believe, so let's talk about what we just said."

Wei Yanwu also began to re-evaluate Xue Zhi.

It would be fine if what he said was false, but if it was true, then if a dangerous person of this level really went crazy in Longmen, all his efforts of more than ten years would be wasted.

And in the end, Wei Yanwu chose to believe him.

"Moving plots, huh? I actually have two spare plots here, but they have some problems. Is that acceptable to you?"

"Tell me in detail. As long as the problem is not too serious, I believe it will be fine. After all, the infected just want a place to survive."

Hearing Xue Zhi say this, Wei Yanwu clicked on the computer next to him, and then the printer printed out some documents.

"Look, there are two plots of land outside Longmen that were affected during the last natural disaster. We urgently rescued the people inside, but the plots were still seriously contaminated. However, they were mobile plots after all, so I couldn't bear to abandon them. I sent some people to guard them and have them hanging on the outermost side."

After getting the printed papers, Xue Zhi started to read them. They recorded the assessment of the two mobile plots by the relevant Longmen agencies.

After reading the whole article, the basic conclusion can be drawn as follows: it is hopeless, just throw it away.

After putting the paper down, Xue Zhi touched her chin and pretended to think for a while before saying:

"Yes, if it's just Originium contamination, it's not a big problem."

He has the water of purification, so purifying them is not a big problem. And not purifying them is not a big problem either. He can just hand it over to the people in the integration movement as a job.

"Name your price. Tallulah told me before I came here that I can't take advantage of you just because you're her uncle."

Tallulah never said this, and it was Xue Zhi's own decision because he didn't want to owe Wei Yanwu a favor.

Xue Zhi felt that if she owed a favor to such a politician, something bad might happen.

"You have money?"

"Those who robbed Ursus were even made of red gold."

A one cubic meter piece of gold appeared next to Xue Zhi. It rotated gently, and the golden light it emitted showed extreme wealth.

Seeing this, Wei Yanwu was truly dumbfounded.

"Ah? How many nobles did you rob to melt such a large piece of red gold?"

Moreover, this young man just let this thing weighing more than ten tons float. How powerful is his Originium skill?

"Let's keep it secret for now."

This piece of money would be worth about 10 billion RMB on Earth, and it's about the same price here on Terra.

Wei Yanwu took a breath and calmed himself down.

This piece of red gold was somewhat attractive to him. Terra was still in the era of gold standard. With more gold, Longmen could go further.

"Not enough, if you really want to pay."

He did not lie to Xue Zhi. These mobile plots of land in Longmen were not the small ones that were snatched before, but large ones that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Even if there was serious pollution on them, it would not make them lose value.

Moreover, the little guy before was much larger than the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier of the US military in Xue Zhi's memory. As for the cost of building such an aircraft carrier, it was about 180 billion US dollars.

Xue Zhi nodded to show that she understood, and then released more red gold blocks.

The neatly stacked red gold illuminates the entire office with a splendor that is almost blinding.

"I know, so I have a lot of red gold like this."

"'Longmen Foul Words'."

Wei Yanwu cursed out loud.

Xue Zhi's move not only demonstrated her financial strength, but also a certain degree of military power.

With more than a hundred tons of gold in the house, no one else could move it.

"Those two plots of land are yours."

"Deal, where should I put it for you? If you put it on the ground, it might break through the floor."

Wei Yanwu held his forehead and did not open his eyes.

He had experienced too many shocks in the past few hours today, and the possible implications behind this made his brain feel hot.

"Put it away first. We'll talk about the details after we finish talking. I'll tell you a place."

"Row."

Chapter 3: Getting Permission from Wei Yanwu

When Wei Yanwu heard Xue Zhi say "OK" instead of ending the conversation directly, he knew that he still had something to discuss.

So he took out a pipe.

"Mind if I smoke a cigarette?"

Subconsciously, Wei Yanwu had already placed Xue Zhi on a level that was at least equal to his own.

Rather than treating him as a junior.

"Please feel free to do so."

Wei Yanwu took two puffs and exhaled a light smoke.

Then he said:

"Tell me, is there anything else you want to talk about?"

"I want the right to establish a company in the slums of Lungmen. This company will have its own private army so that it can help Tallulah when the time comes."

Xue Zhi finally decided to train some of her own people. Even if they didn't go to fight, she should help Talulape or Kazitun to train some people with experience in various industries in advance.

The second half of his words made Wei Yanwu's eyes sharpen.

He put down his pipe, and his demeanor was completely different from when he had just talked.

A vague sense of oppression emanated from him, like a sword just unsheathed.

"You are not stupid, you should know what this means."

Xue Zhi didn't seem to be affected at all. He sat calmly in the chair, looking at Wei Yanwu who was obviously in a bad mood.

"Of course, but I don't think it matters because a private army is just a little selfish of mine. Besides, if I really want to do something, I can do it alone."

The same momentum burst out from Xue Zhi. He had just used it to successfully suppress Wei Yanwu. Now, it took him more strength, but in the end he still won.

After a few seconds of tit-for-tat, Wei Yanwu suddenly seemed to lose his temper, and his straight waist bent.

Xue Zhi was right. If he really wanted to do something, he could do it alone instead of setting up a company.

"Tell me why you did this."

"The first is to help Tallulah. The second is to help the infected people in Longmen. They don't live well here, not even as well as in other cities in Dayan. As a cadre of an infected organization, I have to do something."

When Xue Zhi said this, her eyes were fixed on Wei Yanwu.

He didn't understand why this person's attitude towards the infected was so bad, even lower than the general standard of Yan Country.

"Do you have any specific ideas?"

"Not yet."

"So what are you going to do?"

"Looking for someone to help me, I have plenty of money and good things. Your old comrade, the emperor of the slums, the Rat King, Lin Gerui, is a very good candidate, and he seems to be easier to talk to. I was thinking of talking to you about this later, and asked you to write me a letter of introduction so that I can go find him."

Wei Yanwu did not try to find out why Xue Zhi knew all this because he felt that Xue Zhi would not tell him.

Feeling extremely tired, the middle-aged Lao Long held his forehead, picked up a piece of paper, wrote a lot of things on it, stamped it, and handed it to Xue Zhi.

"It's up to you. I can give you all of these. When the time comes, just go find Lin. I can't interfere with him, but you should be able to persuade him."

After receiving the paper, Xue Zhi looked at it carefully, and after making sure there was no problem, she put it in the warehouse.

"grateful."

Seeing Xue Zhi bowing, Wei Yanwu waved his hand to signal her not to try that, but Xue Zhi was sincere.

Wei Yanwu now just wants to go home, sleep, and then think carefully about what happened today.

"Any thing else?"

"never mind."

"Then wait here for a while. I'll ask someone to take you to the vault and put the red gold away."

"Ah."

Xue Zhi waited here for a while, and then there was a knock on the door.

After Wei Yanwu said a few words to the person who came, Xue Zhi was taken away.

On the way to the vault, Xue Zhi also met another person who had the final say in Longmen, Madam Wen Yue.

"Xiao Li, is Wei Yanwu in the office?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Ah."

After a brief inquiry, she left.

Xue Zhi, who was standing aside as a background, was looked at a few more times by her, but she didn't find anything wrong.

So the two of them came to the vault without any obstruction.

Because Wei Yanwu had instructed him, Li Xiang would not be confused about what happened.

Then he saw nearly 50 one-cubic-meter gold bars stuffed into the largest vault of Longmen Bank.

Now he finally understood why his superior wanted him to go to the largest vault. The smaller ones couldn't even hold so much red gold.

At this time, Mrs. Wen Yue found Wei Yanwu smoking in the office.

Originally, she didn't allow him to smoke, but after being married for so long, she could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Wei Yanwu.

So I didn't care, but pulled a stool and sat next to him and asked:

"What happened?"

Wei Yanwu exhaled a puff of smoke and didn't know what expression to make. He sighed and said:

"Madam, please listen to me and I will explain it to you slowly..."

On the other side, after placing the gold bars, Xue Zhi thanked Secretary Li and walked alone to the street of Longmen.

Today is Friday, so even though it's a little late there are still quite a few people walking around on the streets.

Xue Zhi was in a good mood as he had initially achieved his goal. He bought something to eat and then walked aimlessly on the street.

Longmen is a city mainly composed of Hong Kong, supplemented by various open cities throughout history. The food here tastes very Hong Kong style.

"Who are you going to look for next? Nian or Lin Gerui?"

While Xue Zhi was thinking, a man's voice suddenly came from behind.
