Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 754 - 523 Property Protection Law_3

They can even be considered enemies.

"Hehe... it's my idea." Hu Er adjusted the translation equipment and leaned over to say, "The three of us brothers want to ditch the bandit and robber lifestyle and follow you.

Since you've just arrived in the Outer City, you must lack some errand runners. The three of us grew up in this district, so we're more familiar with many of the rules than you are, making us easy to command."

"Wait a minute..." Li Zheng was slightly stunned, "Aren't you players?"

"Of course we aren't..." Kota said sheepishly, "Strictly speaking, it's only after dozens of generations that someone in our family got the player status; the rest of us were born in the Outer City."

Hu Er chimed in, "What player has our kind of strength, only reaching the Extraordinary Level? We became bandits mostly to rob those from other districts with the same status as us, though we haven't succeeded many times..."

"What do you mean we haven't succeeded many times?" Kota smacked him, cursing, "We just lack proficiency in our 'business'!"

"Right, right, lack of proficiency in business." Hu Er rubbed the sore spot where he got hit, looking pitifully aggrieved.

Hu San saw them having a private chat without including him, and clumsily came over, shouting, "What are you guys talking about? Include me too!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Luckily, this simpleton kept his Chinese translation on, so this wasn't understood by Kang'er and the others.

However, the commotion there still caught the attention of the grandfather and grandson duo, who came back together.

Kang'er indeed voiced an opinion, "The Intermediate Cultivation Liquid you brought out is black market goods and can't be priced officially, so when you're investigating the price, I hope you can take Basil along.

As for giving you two greenhouses, that's not a problem and I can agree to it, but what you do in the greenhouses can't jeopardize the safety and production of the Botanical Garden."

These two conditions were surprisingly reasonable and within Li Zheng's acceptable range. Upon hearing Kota's reminder, he was already prepared for Kang'er to make unreasonable demands.

"Alright, since the conditions are settled, let's finalize the task rewards first." Li Zheng once again presented his personalized seal.

Now, a payout of two hundred White Crystal Coins didn't seem like a big amount, but business is business, and Li Zheng wasn't going to overlook this profit for potential bigger future gains.

"Okay."

Kang'er slid two hundred White Crystal Coins into Li Zheng's seal and then pointed to the greenhouse where the leaf-cutting ants were handled, along with the one next to it, saying, "These two greenhouses are for your use. If you need to clean them up, you'll have to do it yourself. Is that okay?"

"Of course."

Li Zheng smiled and patted Kota, "Didn't you say you wanted to follow me from now on? This is the time when I need you guys to tidy up the rooms for me."

"Leave it to us!" Hu Er was overjoyed at hearing this, thumping his chest with assurance.

The three tiger-person brothers rushed into the greenhouse with a whirlwind energy and chopped all the plants inside.

Li Zheng didn't waste resources either. He straightforwardly asked them to grind everything into powder and stored it in capsules to use as compost later.

After this, he sent the three tiger-persons out with Basil to conduct market research, while he entered the greenhouse with Mirel to start preparing dinner by setting up the stove.

Kang'er used this opportunity to head out to procure a new batch of fruit trees, needing to have everything ready before the delivery deadline.

When Kang'er left, Mirel was busy at the stove: "Aren't you afraid that old tree guy will expose you?"

"Of course, I'm afraid."

Li Zheng shrugged, releasing some Forest Wolves and Huskies to get some fresh air and be fed today's meal.

While scattering the feed, he said, "He's not that foolish—at least not until those orders are completed, he won't expose me."

"And after that?" Mirel turned up the stove and started to stir-fry, "When he bounces back, there's no guarantee he won't have sinister intentions."

"We'll deal with it later."

Li Zheng waved his hand, "After all, I'm just temporarily finding a place to stay. No one can stop us when it's time to leave."

"You're really confident." Mirel shook her head.

"Of course, everything is under control!" Li Zheng said as he picked up the queen leaf-cutting ant he had tossed to the corner, leaving Mirel to continue preparing dinner, and went alone to the adjacent greenhouse.

Now, let's see if his assumptions are correct.
