Chapter 105 Sending Sweet Potato Roots to the Old Man
After Gao left, Zhao Hai also got into the old man's car.
"Little Shen! You still have that turtle painted on your face? Hmm! Not bad! You can wipe it off in a couple of days!" Zhao Hai said when he saw Shen Qinglin.
"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Zhao!" Shen Qinglin was very grateful when Zhao Hai told him to wipe off the turtle drawing on his face in a couple of days.
Who knows how uncomfortable he's been these past few days, with a giant turtle-like face on his face!
The purple marks on Zhao Hai's face had mostly disappeared, and with the many good things he had obtained today, Shen Qinglin was no longer suffering such torment.
Shen Qinglin was not a relative of the old man; he was just a driver the old man randomly picked from the convoy. Otherwise, out of respect for the old man, Zhao Hai would not have made things difficult for Shen Qinglin.
Seeing that Zhao Hai had come specifically to see the old man, Shen Qinglin knew that he must have something to say to the old man, so he tactfully left.
Of course, he was mostly afraid of Zhao Hai. He was afraid that Zhao Hai would take his anger out on him again and make him do some strange things!
And since he wasn't a relative or friend of the old man, the old man wouldn't speak up for him.
Just like last time when Zhao Hai asked him to draw a turtle on his face, if the old man had told him to wipe the turtle off his face, he would have wiped it off immediately. But he and the old man were not related, so the old man naturally wouldn't risk offending Zhao Hai over such a trivial matter.
"Hai Zi, I didn't expect you to come to this old man's place. Why didn't you go find your little darling?" the old man teased with a mischievous grin.
"Tch, old man, do you think I, Zhao Hai, am that kind of person? I came here with good intentions to bring you something, but I didn't expect you to think of me like this! You've really hurt me!" Zhao Hai looked heartbroken.
"Give me something? What is it?" the old man asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Hehe! Of course it's good stuff!" After saying that, Zhao Hai handed the old man the piece of sweet potato root he was holding.
"This is really good stuff! I never thought you could get your hands on something this good!" The old man's eyes widened the moment he saw the sweet potato root, and he wished that sweet potato root was his wife.
"How about it? Can you grow sweet potatoes from this sweet potato root?" Zhao Hai asked casually.
"Of course, otherwise do you think I'm just sitting around doing nothing?"
"That's good! I'm really looking forward to eating the sweet potatoes you grow! It only takes you about ten days to grow a bok choy! How long does it take you to grow sweet potatoes? I've been wanting to eat roasted sweet potatoes for a long time!" Zhao Hai said, his mouth watering.
The old man is a botanist; the vegetables and fruits he grows have a shorter growth cycle than those grown with ripening agents.
"Sweet potatoes take longer to grow than cabbages, about twelve days!" the old man said to Zhao Hai after thinking for a moment.
"Okay! I'll be waiting to eat your roasted sweet potatoes in twelve days!"
"Okay! When the sweet potatoes are grown, I'll bring them to you first! But thank you so much this time!"
"That's right, I traded this sweet potato root with other ordinary survivors to get it for you!" Zhao Hai said matter-of-factly.
"Ha! You actually took my polite words seriously! Do you think I don't know that it's not difficult for us Sequence Extraordinaries to exchange things with ordinary survivors?" the old man said with a disdainful look.
Zhao Hai didn't feel embarrassed at all; he just smiled and went back to his car.
Not long after Zhao Hai returned to his car, Chen Zhifu arrived.
"Old Chen! What's wrong?" Zhao Hai now addresses Chen Zhifu as "Old Chen" instead of "Uncle Fu".
"Brother Hai, didn't our convoy exchange some spare vehicles with the ordinary survivors before? This time when we went to the village to collect supplies, 30% of the supplies they handed over were given to Captain Xu. Captain Xu asked you to go and distribute the supplies!" Chen Zhifu also said.
"Okay!" Zhao Hai nodded.
"By the way, Brother Hai!" Seeing that Zhao Hai was about to leave, Chen Zhifu quickly called out to him.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"Hey, Hai-ge, I heard from Gao Ze that you can imbue weapons with supernatural powers. Do you think you could imbue my weapon with your supernatural powers too?" Chen Zhifu asked nervously.
"Old Chen! It's not impossible for me to imbue your weapon with supernatural power, but Gao Ze gave me a piece of sweet potato root before I imbued his weapon with my supernatural power. If you want my help, you'd better give me some good supplies or highly poisonous substances!"
Zhao Hai was somewhat amused and exasperated when he learned that Chen Zhifu had come to him asking for that weapon imbued with extraordinary power.
"Alright then!" Chen Zhifu was also somewhat disappointed.
"However, Old Chen, we've known each other for so long, and I'm not the kind of person who's heartless. I can help you imbue your weapon with extraordinary power, but you'll have to owe me something extremely poisonous! How about it?" Zhao Hai said to Chen Zhifu with a smile.
"Okay! Thank you very much, Brother Hai!" Chen Zhifu agreed without even thinking.
Zhao Hai imbued his weapon with his extraordinary power, further enhancing his ability to survive. Moreover, he had spent quite some time with Zhao Hai, and he understood what Zhao Hai meant by those words.
Since Zhao Hai didn't specify when he needed to return the poison, it meant there was no time limit. Otherwise, how could someone as shrewd as Zhao Hai forget that?
If he still doesn't agree, he'd be a complete fool.
Zhao Hai smiled, didn't say anything more, and then walked towards Xu Wenchu's SUV.
Zhao Hai arrived at Xu Wenchu's SUV, and Wang Hu and the others also arrived.
Zhao Hai was somewhat surprised to see the supplies that Xu Wenchu had collected.
"Captain Xu, that's impressive! That's quite a lot of supplies!"
"Of course, we've exchanged several vehicles! Those who came to exchange vehicles were all small groups of four or five people, so it's not surprising that they had so many supplies!" Xu Wenchu added.
"There's quite a lot of stuff, let's stick to our original distribution method!" Xu Wenchu continued.
"OK!"
……
early morning.
[Ding! Sign-in successful! Congratulations, host, you have gained 35 sign-in points! Balance: 66 points!]
Hehe! I've struck it rich! I've struck it rich!
Hearing the system notification, Zhao Hai felt incredibly pleased!
Killing two monsters earned him thirty sign-in points. Adding the five sign-in points he could get today, thirty-five sign-in points was quite a sum. That was enough for him to use monster materials to craft some monster artifacts!
