Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 548: The Second Round of the Competition…
At dusk, the stocks of medicine in the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce were almost completely plundered.
Zhang Erfa and Zhang Dafa brothers were indeed elated today. As soon as Feng Bailing appeared, both brothers showed genuine admiration.
Even the usually reticent Zhang Dafa was filled with respect at this moment.
The Phoenix Chamber of Commerce had been suppressed by the Underworld Market ever since it arrived in Qinghe City, never able to raise its head. Unexpectedly, a mere ruckus in the Underworld Market helped seize all of its medicine business.
"Feng San, you truly are a genius."
Zhang Erfa praised.
"It’s just a few small tricks in business. Good wine needs no bush. Our medicine is excellent and the word about it would spread sooner or later. Had the Underworld Market not been too oppressive, I would not have resorted to such underhanded tactics."
Feng Bailing smiled, sipping her tea contentedly.
The teacup overflowed with fragrance; the tea leaves from Xinqi Village indeed had a wonderful taste.
With the Black Fog gone, the transportation of goods had become much more convenient. The new tea leaves from Xinqi Village could now be transported to Qinghe City. Unfortunately, items like milk that don’t keep well could only be enjoyed in Chu City.
However, with the help of Li Mubei and Ouyang Chenchen, it was believed that soon new villages like Xinqi Village would appear in Daye and Nanshe, and the supply of goods would become even more convenient.
"Feng San, we’ve sold all our medicine; could you speed up the production and provide more?"
Zhang Dafa said gravely.
Zhang Dafa had reviewed the accounts; all medicines were sold out, especially the golden sore medicine and detoxification medicine.
"Speaking of Qinghe City alone, its purchasing power is limited. Business is booming today due to the upcoming Competition Among Ten Countries. The representatives of the Ten Countries, especially Team B, need to buy some affordable medicines. They have almost finished their purchases by now, and mercenaries have limited buying power, so we don’t need a large supply of medicine for the time being."
Feng Bailing contemplated briefly.
The Amber Spider had limited capacity to supply medicine liquid; continued large-scale supply still relied on Feng Bailing’s newly developed Wooden Holy Seal.
"In a few days, we’ll leave the city to join the Competition Among Ten Countries. Don’t take it lightly, both of you. The Underworld Market suffered a big loss this time, and Changsun Rou is not an easy person to deal with. She will surely find a way to retaliate against the Qinghe Branch. There are only two of you in the city, so be cautious with everything. If something goes wrong, don’t confront it head-on; preserving your life comes first. A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years.
Feng Bailing took the upper hand in today’s secret contest with Changsun Rou, but she did not relax. She was well aware that the Underworld Market was the world’s leading trading power, with a very stable foundation, and that minor disturbances couldn’t shake it.
To bring down such a behemoth, she needs to start with Heavenly Iron, but for now, with Mr. Nan Chen out of the city and no way to forge Heavenly Iron in the short term, Feng Bailing had to stay on guard.
After giving her instructions, Feng Bailing thought of Dugu Wu; it had been a day without news from him, and she didn’t know how things were going since he and Ouyang Chenchen left the city.
While Feng Bailing was worried about Dugu Wu and Ouyang Chenchen, they had already reached a hundred miles outside the city. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The scorching sun shone on the sandy land as the Ten Countries Leader dismounted the horse carriage.
Before them lay a vast desert.
The reason Qinghe City was chosen as the competition venue by the Ten Countries was its unique terrain and topography nearby, which was suitable for conducting the competition, and it was located in a neutral area where the Ten Countries could contest without interference.
The moment the leaders stepped out of the horse carriage, the horses let out terrified neighs.
From the seemingly calm ground below emerged strange sounds.
The sand heaved as if something was about to burst forth.
The leaders’ eyebrows rose; hiss, hiss, hiss.
Suddenly, dozens of poisonous scorpions with red carapaces erupted from the sand, their massive forms surrounding the horses several times their size.
With a palm thrust, Xiao Junci’s cold palm wind scooped up several scorpions, tearing them to pieces where the wind passed.
Around the Wu sisters, the ground trembled.
With a sudden burst, a scorpion emerged from the sand; its tail was vividly red, with barbs fiercely stabbing towards Wu Zhenzhen. Without so much as a frown, she tapped lightly on her foot, and her body floated up like a butterfly dancing gracefully across the sands.
The seemingly light scarf falls, yet each step Wu Zhenzhen takes onto the scorpions is filled with piercing coldness. The scorpions were actually being crushed to death by her.
Almost simultaneously, the sand under Dugu Wu’s feet began to move.
"Dugu, watch your feet."
A sand whirlpool quickly formed.
Li Mubei, not far away, raised his voice to warn.
Without even batting an eyelid, Dugu Wu plunged his walking stick into the ground.
With a slight flick, an enormous desert venomous scorpion was pulled out of the ground by Dugu Wu like pulling out a radish.
The desert venomous scorpion king lay motionless, having its heart directly burst by the walking stick.
Leader Zhong, who was by the side, watched and couldn’t help but gasp in shock. Dugu Wu killed a desert venomous scorpion king directly with his physical strength, without even using a bit of Gang Qi.
A quarter of an hour later, the ground was littered with the remains of the scorpions.
"How long do we have to stay in this godforsaken place? I’m about to melt from the sun."
Ouyang Chenchen’s face was sunburned red.
She didn’t understand. If it was a Competition Among Ten Countries, that’s all well and good, but why run to this desert? She really didn’t know whose bad idea this was.
"Miss Ouyang, we’ve cleared the poisonous scorpions in this area for now, so when team members compete here later, there will be fewer troubles."
Wu Wanwan said with a smile.
"Competing here, aren’t these scorpions the surprise we leave for our teammates’ opponents?"
Ouyang Chenchen was puzzled.
"Of course not, the next opponents for the team members are the leaders present here, not the scorpions."
Wu Zhenzhen said gravely.
What!
Ouyang Chenchen was stunned.
"You mean we are going to personally eliminate our team members."
Although she had long sensed that the Competition Among Ten Countries was extremely cruel, Ouyang Chenchen did not expect to personally eliminate her own team members.
The first round made it very clear to the leaders present that elimination means either death or serious injury.
Dugu Wu also raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Miss Ouyang, don’t worry, of course we won’t have to deal with our own team members. We will draw lots to decide which team will face the leaders from the various countries."
Dongfang Yu explained.
Ouyang Chenchen was taken aback.
If she drew the representative team of Great Chu, wouldn’t that be...
Ouyang Chenchen thought about it. If she drew Great Chu, she would just let them win. It would be an opportunity to deal with the people of Great Chu Team A.
But if she didn’t draw them, or if...
"I disagree. The leaders are much stronger than the team members; if some team members encounter brutal leaders, they may be wiped out. This isn’t a competition; it’s a massacre."
Ouyang Chenchen dissented strongly, looking straight at Xiao Junci.
