The news of He Ange closing the city-state shops soon spread in Longjiao City.
And the city lord they were talking about still did not open a shop this time. He just asked Captain Red Wolf to come into the city alone, while the other members of the team could not come.
Because of this move, the members of the Red Wolf Team walked behind and laughed at He Ange.
The restaurant manager was a low-level NPC. He was like a stiff robot. He puts a few dishes on He Ange’s table with stiff movements.
Sitting across from him was Sun Ming, the captain of the Red Wolf Squad. If this squad hadn’t been so arrogant and domineering in the city, it would have been unimaginable that such a middle-aged man who looked honest and honest would have been the captain of that squad.
“Come, Captain Sun, let’s have a drink.” He Ange poured a glass of rice wine and gave Sun Mingman a glass.
This rice wine was brought back from Xuantian City. He cared about the food himself and did not let the NPC in the restaurant make it. With that food, he would have more capital.
Sun Ming smiled with unclear meaning. He held a cup alone and asked him to fill it up. He didn’t know clearly and thought that Sun Ming was the city lord.
He Ange didn’t care about this, he just clinked glasses with him and drank it all in one gulp.
“The captain is looking for me to buy a batch of equipment?” He Ange asked knowingly.
Sun Ming showed his standard honest smile and said, “Yes, who among us not living under your hands, the city lord? I would be worried if you closed the shop.”
He Ange was very happy to hear this: “Hey, no matter where you are, I just got lucky and built a city-state. The only ones who are capable are people like Captain Sun who work hard on their own.”
The two exchanged business opinions, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious for a while.
Sun Ming picked two mouthfuls of food and swallowed before speaking again, “City Lord, you also know that it’s winter. Everyone on our team is worried that the supplies prepared will not be enough for the whole winter. Besides, who knows if there are no wild monsters outside, right?”
He Ange nodded, “You’re right, but I can’t help it. You see, no one is going out right now, and the supplies I have stored are limited, otherwise, I wouldn’t leave keep them and earn money.”
He said innocently, Sun Ming cursed him in his heart.
“I understand. I just asked you out for a meal because we understand. We don’t mean to embarrass you. We just think you should open your business. Just sell us the equipment and props at the original price, we will not mention this to anyone else.”
These words made He Ange not answer for a while. If he sold it to them at the original price, the price would not be low.
The prices of the things he sells to professional residents in his store were reduced by nearly two-thirds. If he can sell them at the original price, he will indeed make a real profit.
He Ange did not speak but stared at his wine glass.
Sun Ming smiled naively, picked up the wine bottle, and filled it for him: “We know that this season is difficult for everyone, so we decided to buy it at the original price.”
He Ange swallowed the glass of wine with a smile on his face, “If everyone could understand me like Captain Sun, I wouldn’t be so depressed. It’s just that supplies are scarce this winter, especially the raw materials needed for medicine. I bought them all at high prices from NPCs. If I have more tempered fruits, I can spend less money on raw materials…”
The meaning of these words was self-evident. The expression on Sun Ming’s face froze for a moment but soon returned to normal.
“It’s hard to pick the tempered fruit. We lost a few good hands at that time, alas…” Sun Ming didn’t answer immediately. He still underestimated He Ange and dared to ask for the tempered fruit.
Who doesn’t know this was a good thing, otherwise why would they work so hard to pick it?
He Ange was not in a hurry and started eating the food slowly. Anyway, the supplies were in his hands. He would not lose if Sun Ming disagreed. He was not the anxious one.
Sun Ming was scolding his mother in his heart. He told him he would buy the equipment at the original price, but He Ange still scolded him right in front of his face. He lowered his head to eat the food, with a fierce look in his eyes.
The two of them ate their way through the food, but their minds were not on the dinner table.
In the end, Sun Ming spoke: “We all heard that City Master He’s team also lost a few people. It is estimated that the tempered fruits you lost were also not few less.” He put down his chopsticks, “Let’s do this, I will pay you 200 tempered fruits. It can be considered as a contribution to the city-state, and I hope the city-lord can take care of it.”
He Ange seemed confident and put down his chopsticks, “200…… I’m afraid it’s not enough. If Captain Sun can give me a thousand tempering fruits, you can buy all the equipment for the whole winter at the same discount price as before, without paying the original price.”
Sun Ming almost failed to maintain the honest expression on his face. He Ange could open his mouth wide and not be afraid of choking himself.
He restrained himself with all his strength, and then smiled softly, “This 1,000 is a bit much, how about I go back and discuss it with my brothers?”
How could he agree to this thing outright? He had to show some sympathy to prevent him from making more excessive demands.
He Ange stood up and said, “Okay, Captain Sun will go back and discuss it carefully. This is not a trivial matter. No matter what the outcome is after the discussion, it will not affect our relationship.”
After saying that, Sun Ming left without hesitation, almost crushing the corner of the table. At this time, there was no simple and honest smile on his face, but only a terrifying gloom remained.
“Just you wait…” He murmured.
Soon Sun Ming returned to his residence and called his other teammates over to talk about the specific process of today’s discussion with He Ange.
Hearing that He Ange asked for a thousand tempering fruits, the members of the Red Wolf team began to curse one after another in the room.
Sun Ming was also very unhappy, “I underestimated him. He has a big appetite, so he asked for a thousand pills directly.”
The team members were also angry, “If he is the city lord, I would have pinched him to death hundreds of times.”
“Captain, do you want to give it to him? This time he asks for a thousand tempered fruits at once. Who knows if we will raise the price after buying a batch of supplies.”
His appetite was so big from the beginning that it is difficult not to suspect that he will have other tungsten operations in the future.
Sun Ming took a long breath and said, “It’s okay. I wasn’t sure before, but now I’ve decided to agree to his request first, but wait 2 days before replying to him. In the meantime, you can start making preparations.”
Hearing what the captain said, the other teammates had eager expressions on their faces: “I understand, captain, if this man dares to provoke us, then it depends on whether he can swallow this big pie.”
As for He Ange, seeing Sun Ming’s deflated expression before leaving made him feel as refreshed as taking a sip of cold water on a dog day.
“Hmph, if you are in my territory, you still have to bow your head in front of me.”
Other than the patrolling NPC, he was the only one on the street. He had clothes with excellent thermal properties, and he didn’t feel too cold in the ice and snow.
He didn’t know what he thought of, but he glanced at the lodging houses on both sides of the street, and his eyes turned cold, “Hmph.”
This group of ordinary people took themselves seriously. If he hadn’t been afraid that driving them out would cause serious backlash, he would have driven these people out of the city long ago.
Whether they freeze to death or get killed by wild monsters was none of his business.
