Jiang Ye: Bro, let's cut to the chase. Five thousand yuan isn't a small sum. If we don't meet face-to-face, what if you rip me off?
Zhou Yun Tian: Don't worry, I absolutely won't rip you off! I'll stake my reputation on it! I swear to the heavens, if I rip you off, may lightning strike me!
Jiang Ye: No can do, five thousand is too much. I worked my butt off for this. I can't just spend it carelessly. Tell me your coordinates, and I'll come find you.
Zhou Yun Tian: How can you find me in this snow? This isn't like the street in front of or behind my house. It's who knows how many kilometers away!
The two sides haggled back and forth for a long time.
Zhou Yun Tian was tight-lipped, refusing to reveal his location or agree to a face-to-face transaction.
It was unclear if he truly found it unrealistic or if his vigilance was just too high.
Jiang Ye ultimately decided to buy a bottle. Five thousand yuan wasn't expensive. If it could really strengthen his body, it would be worth it.
The two parties happily reached an agreement.
Five thousand yuan was spent.
The trading pod flashed, and a small glass bottle appeared.
Jiang Ye took it out and looked. The bottle contained a green liquid, very much like some laundry detergent.
He put it back into the trading pod and scanned it:
[Item: Hedgehog Brand Shampoo]
[Item Description: After washing your hair with this, your hair will become as stiff and prickly as a hedgehog's.]
[Estimated Value: 500 yuan]
Jiang Ye stared at these three lines of text for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed.
His smile was grim.
Jiang Ye: Bro, are you a scammer?
[Your message has been rejected. The recipient may have blocked you.]
Jiang Ye laughed even harder.
Blocking him immediately after the sale, that was quite a move.
He opened the public channel and typed a message directly.
Jiang Ye: I'll pay ten thousand yuan for the coordinates of @Zhou Yun Tian. He scammed me out of five thousand yuan, and I'm going to collect my debt in person. Furthermore, I'll offer twenty thousand yuan for his head!
After sending the message, Jiang Ye didn't stop.
He copied and pasted, sending it repeatedly.
He spammed the public channel, sending a hundred messages in one go!
[We apologize, your posting frequency is too high. Please try again in half an hour.]
A prompt appeared, and Jiang Ye's posting in the public channel was restricted.
However, he had achieved his goal.
The channel was filled with people hotly discussing the matter, with all sorts of opinions. The topic's popularity had instantly soared.
Some claimed they were almost scammed too, but because they were too poor to afford the so-called snake oil, they had avoided it.
Some stated they had already blocked Zhou Yun Tian.
Others marveled at how wealthy Jiang Ye was, casually spending twenty thousand yuan, his financial strength comparable to that of the cash king, Citizen Cao County.
Jiang Ye waited silently.
Finally, a private message popped up.
It was from an unexpected person.
Can't Twist Bottle Cap: Brother Da Jiang, I might know the coordinates of the person you're talking about. It's (1288, 1859).
Jiang Ye: Really? How do you know? Is the information reliable?
Can't Twist Bottle Cap: It's like this. A month ago, I was selling photos in the channel. This person found me and asked if I was a prostitute. I said no, and he said I was close enough. I told him to get lost if he wasn't buying photos, and then he sent me this address, saying he was there and wanted me to come over. He said he was rich and could support me. I blocked him. He was at that coordinate back then, I don't know if he's moved since.
Jiang Ye: Can you ask him now? Trick him a bit, say you're going over, and get his coordinates.
Can't Twist Bottle Cap: Alright, for you, I'll try.
Jiang Ye waited quietly. While waiting, he opened the Galaxy Mall and bought another Kai Xi assault rifle.
He then counted the blood grenades in the base. Some had been used for mining, leaving 297.
Five minutes later, another message arrived.
Can't Twist Bottle Cap: I got it. His current location is (1289, 1899).
Without a word, Jiang Ye sent ten thousand yuan.
Can't Twist Bottle Cap: I don't want this money. I'm just helping you. You keep it.
Jiang Ye: No need. It's just a token of appreciation. This amount is insignificant.
After saying that, he closed the chat channel.
He opened the planetary map to check the other party's location.
It wasn't far. By rotorcraft, it would take about three hours.
However, there was a strait in between.
And landing would also be a problem. The snow was too deep, and he had never tried landing in snow.
Jiang Ye thought briefly and opened the chat channel.
He initiated a private chat with the delivery person, Isabelle.
Jiang Ye: I have a question for you. Can the three-wheeled rotorcraft I bought land on deep snow?
Delivery Person Isabelle: With good piloting skills, it's fine. Without them, you might break a leg. Why are you asking? Don't you have a runway?
Jiang Ye: I need to go kill someone. It's an order from the Mercenary Association, and I have to fly there.
Delivery Person Isabelle: Oh my, you're doing that kind of work? It's very dangerous. The person being killed will surely fight back with all their might.
Jiang Ye: I didn't want to do it at first, but now it seems like fate. Coincidentally, he's quite close to me, and he sold me fake goods. I have his coordinates from an old acquaintance. Not long ago, someone offered five million for his head. All these factors are telling me that I should kill him! This guy is also a traitor, he sold information to the Mil people.
Delivery Person Isabelle: Try flying the aircraft near your home first. Be very careful! My husband was also a mercenary. He killed seven or eight people. Once, he almost got killed, so he quit. You must be extremely cautious.
Jiang Ye: Okay.
He closed the chat channel, pulled a sack from the corner, and immediately began packing grenades.
He packed two sacks, each containing thirty grenades, for a total of sixty.
He strapped on both Kai Xi assault rifles, one in front and one in back, with all six magazines fully loaded.
Finally, Jiang Ye picked up a board from the corner.
It was a metal plate about the size of a laptop, slightly curved.
He had picked it up from a crashed spaceship. Jiang Ye stuffed it into the layers of two cotton-padded jackets, using it as a bulletproof insert. If the target shot at him, this plate would definitely not be penetrated.
With everything prepared, he picked up the sacks and went out.
It was late at night, the cold wind howled, and the sky was full of stars.
He walked to the rotorcraft and placed the two sacks of grenades on it.
The fuel gauge showed 98%, and there were two barrels of reserve fuel in the storage compartment. Enough for the round trip, more than enough.
Jiang Ye got into the aircraft, stepped on the accelerator, and started it!
The rotorcraft accelerated on the runway, the cold wind whipped past, and it quickly took off.
He circled in the sky once, and Jiang Ye slowly descended.
He eased off the throttle, reducing speed.
The nose of the aircraft pointed towards a flat area of deep snow, descending, descending, descending...
Whoosh!
The landing gear plunged into the snow, kicking up large clouds of white powder. The rotorcraft vibrated violently. Jiang Ye constantly adjusted the throttle, his body breaking out in a cold sweat.
Finally, the rotorcraft came to a stable stop on the snow!
Snow landing successful!
He could go find Zhou Yun Tian now.
There was no time to delay; the longer he waited, the more things could go wrong. Jiang Ye decided to go immediately!
