Chapter 750 Preparation
Chapter 750 Preparation
Chen Cheng stared at him for a long time. Just when Mangliu thought he was going to die, he suddenly said to Shefa beside him:
"Gag him and keep an eye on him."
Sheli answered yes, and the next moment his hand appeared on Mangliu's neck. He just exerted a little force with his fingers, and Mangliu immediately became mute.
Chen Cheng knew that Sheli had disturbed Mangliu's vocal cords, making him unable to make any sound.
Then he removed the joints of Mangliu's limbs and placed him in the corner of the room.
Then Chen Cheng went downstairs and asked the restaurant owner where he could buy water in the town.
The shopkeeper knew that Chen Cheng was about to enter the desert, and he came forward and said with a smile:
"If you trust me, I can take you to a water shop where the prices are 10% lower than other places. If you choose to have our shop provide the food you need, the price can be reduced by another 10%."
Chen Cheng looked at the shopkeeper, then took out a stack of vouchers from his space bag and said:
"Then I will leave everything to the shopkeeper. I hope you won't treat us as scapegoats, otherwise my brother's knife will be very powerful."
Chen Cheng's threat was very consistent with the character of a gangster, and the boss also made promises repeatedly.
"Remember, time has to hurry. We two brothers don't have time to stay here with you any longer."
Chen Cheng reminded the shopkeeper before giving him the money.
"Don't worry, sir. I promise everything will be ready for you tomorrow morning."
Chen Cheng nodded after hearing this, and then touched his belly and said:
"Damn it! I just drank a lot of water in the tavern. Do you have any food left? Give me and my brother a portion. Here's the money..."
Chen Cheng deliberately dragged out the sound of money, and the shopkeeper was also a shrewd person, and immediately said:
"Don't worry, food will be here soon, and consider this meal my treat."
Chen Cheng nodded in satisfaction and went upstairs.
Seeing that Chen Cheng had turned the corner, the shopkeeper's face changed immediately, and he spat at the upstairs:
"What a stingy person! He's not even willing to pay for this little meal."
At this time, the waiter from the restaurant came forward to flatter him:
"Boss, are these two brothers the ones on the wanted list? Should we report them and have someone investigate them thoroughly?"
However, this time he really hit the nail on the head. The shopkeeper had just made a big deal with Chen Cheng. Isn't it a taboo to tell him this now?
So the shopkeeper slapped the boy in the face and said:
"Are you stupid? You look nothing like the person on the wanted poster. And you're such a stingy old man. Do you think all those people are like you?"
Then the shopkeeper sent the servant away and asked him to deliver food to Chen Cheng and the others.
Chen Cheng, who had heard everything at the corner upstairs, frowned and then returned to the room.
The next morning, Chen Cheng got up early, then Sheli reconnected Mangliu's joints and pushed him downstairs.
When Mangliu saw the others, he wanted to shout for help, but the vague murderous intent emanating from Sheli kept staring at him, making his back cold and he dared not make any noise.
When the shopkeeper saw Chen Cheng and the others coming down, he immediately greeted them with a smile.
"Sir, I have prepared everything you want. Please check it."
As he said that, he handed over two space bags.
Chen Cheng peered inside and took a look around, then his face flushed with rage.
"I gave you so much money, and you only gave me this little water and food. Could it be that the water and food here are made of gold?"
As he said this, Chen Cheng was about to punch the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper immediately turned his head away when he saw this, and then said:
"Sir, this place is located on the edge of a large desert, and the desert has been getting bigger and bigger over the years. The water and food here are much more expensive than those in the inland areas.
If you don't believe me, you can ask the guy next to you, or just ask anyone else.
After hearing this, Chen Cheng put away his fist and looked at Mang Liu.
When Mangliu saw Chen Cheng coming, he quickly nodded in affirmation.
Chen Cheng transferred the contents of the space bag into his own space bag, threw the shopkeeper's space bag to him, and then snorted coldly:
"Don't let me know that you lied to me, or you'll be shut down from now on."
Then he said arrogantly:
"Check out, we won't be staying here anymore."
The shopkeeper also saw that Chen Cheng and the other two were obviously from the mainland. In order to make money through harmony, and since he had made a lot of money on this trip, he said directly:
"Brothers, you two have been staying here for less than a day, so let's forget about the rent."
When Chen Cheng heard that he didn't need to pay, a look of joy immediately appeared on his scarred face, and then he said to the shopkeeper:
"No wonder your hotel is so big, you are really good at business."
Looking at Chen Cheng's face, isn't he just a commoner who likes to take advantage of others? No one would have thought that he would be the emperor of the empire.
After saying a lot of nice things to the shopkeeper, Chen Cheng and the other man left the hotel.
"Okay, now that we have water and food, should we prepare transportation? I heard we have to ride camels into the desert."
When Mangliu heard this, he hurried forward and gave Chen Cheng a thumbs up.
Although this guy can't speak, he is still very good at flattering. If Chen Cheng didn't know that this guy is a scumbag, maybe he would be so flattered that he would let him go.
They came to the Camel Shop, a place that specializes in renting and selling camels. While Chen Cheng was arguing with the camel owner here over the price of camels, Kailan City, tens of thousands of miles away, had already been in chaos.
When the news that Chen Cheng was the emperor came out, the most shocked were the indigenous people of Huidun City. They knew that Chen Cheng was captured by the slave team and sold to the then Baron Kekeber.
But they would never have imagined that the slave boy would be the emperor of the empire.
Some people felt a chill down their spines when they thought of how they had mocked and despised Chen Cheng when he was still a slave.
Fortunately, Chen Cheng was Finier's slave at the time, and Chen Cheng started the rebellion very quickly. They just wanted to vent their anger and didn't think of beating or scolding Chen Cheng.
The one who was most terrified was Xiao Dun. He almost attacked Chen Cheng out of jealousy.
Fortunately, Huidun was on his side at that time, otherwise today not only he and his family would be buried with him, but the entire Kingdom of Moss would also be implicated.
Just when the news was flying all over the place and becoming a hot topic, Huidun stepped in to stabilize the situation. What he needed to do now was not to discuss Chen Cheng's identity, but to prepare wholeheartedly for the battle for the Earth's Brain that was about to begin.
As long as they seize the Earth's Brain and allow Kuiyi to successfully ascend to Legend, and with the help of the elves, the Kingdom of Moss can safely survive this storm.
