Chapter 417 Buying a Map
All those present became vigilant.
These individuals were strangely rigid-bodied, almost identical to the robots from before.
Some even glanced over and charged at them, trying to hack these individuals to death.
But when their weapons struck these people, they only sparked, failing to cause any damage.
At this, the shop's occupants were tense to the extreme, their eyes filled with horror.
Chen Yu, however, didn't care for that, walking straight up and taking out the Knights of the Round Table's Token.
"May I ask which organization you are from? Could you please state your name?"
The robots remained silent, just scattered to either side, making way for a path, and then a man dressed quite modernly walked out with a smile.
"I've long heard that the new member of the Knights of the Round Table is very young. I thought you'd be about my age, but it turns out you're nearly thirty."
Chen Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Who are you?"
The man also took out a token from his body, except that his token was purely white, and there was a distinct mechanical whirring sound coming from it.
"Sky Language Deep Blue, Bai Menglong!"
At this name, everyone present was startled; some even turned tail and ran as if they had seen something terrifying.
Chen Yu, on the other hand, appeared calm.
He had indeed heard about this organization from Fox; it was said to be the only super organization established by a single family dynasty.
The Bai Family built their fortune through maritime Silk Road centuries ago and later settled in Nanyang.
In modern times, they followed the model of other organizations, gathering their family members to create an organization.
The foresight of this family was incredibly advanced; the premise of their organization's creation was technology, and to this day, the Bai Family's technology nearly leads the world.
Chen Yu's lips curled into a slight smile.
"So, it's the Bai Family's young master Bai. But isn't it a bit too much to explode robots on someone else's turf without reason? After all, they are running a business here. Who will compensate for the losses?"
Bai Menglong laughed heartily, then took out a banknote bill and placed it on the table.
"I was merely testing the blast radius and lethality of my robots. I had already adjusted the explosive damage to one percent, which certainly won't cause too much harm. Consider this money my compensation."
A banknote with a face value of one hundred million indeed showed sincerity, but exploding someone's place and simply offsetting it with money seemed a bit high-handed.
The shopkeeper didn't care, quickly stepped forward to take the banknote, and said thanks twice.
For him, this was the best outcome. If they didn't let the matter drop at this point, who knew what chaos it might cause.
Chen Yu did not say anything more and continued his treatment of the injured.
Bai Menglong, on the other hand, led several robots straight to a private room on the second floor.
The shop, bustling just moments ago, suddenly became silent, with fear on everyone's faces.
If just one percent of a robot's self-destruction power is this terrifying, what would it be like if it were fully unleashed?
Members of major organizations whispered among themselves and contacted their superiors immediately, wishing to acquire all information on the Bai Family in the shortest time possible.
After Chen Yu had settled all the injured, he left the shop with Jin Lingsu and started to roam the small town.
The place had a certain exotic charm; the pedestrians, though few, were very ethnically diverse.
"We originally thought we were the first to arrive. Didn't expect so many would come!"
Jin Lingsu sighed helplessly and peeled a peanut before popping it into her mouth.
Chen Yu also displayed a gloomy face. He had never wanted to get caught up in the conflicts between the major organizations, but ever since he arrived at Dongming Canyon, it seemed like he had lost control of his fate.
"Maps for sale! Maps covering a six-hundred-mile radius!"
A shout suddenly came from a small stall not too far away, and Chen Yu's interest was immediately piqued.
The area within several hundred miles was all desert, with numerous subterranean rivers and quicksand.
Just figuring out the terrain was a challenge, so having a map would be quite helpful.
Without giving it much thought, he made a beeline for the stall.
The vendor was a boy of about ten, who became excited when he saw Chen Yu approaching. Your journey continues on empire
"Sir, buy a map, just for a hundred thousand."
Jin Lingsu immediately showed her dissatisfaction, "Are you trying to rob us, kid?"
But Chen Yu didn't say anything more. He simply pulled out a banknote worth a hundred thousand and tossed it onto the stall, then picked up a map.
In such extreme conditions, two things were most valuable: one was water and food, the other was a map.
No matter how high the price for these items, there would always be buyers.
The boy immediately beamed with joy, selecting a relatively complete map to hand over.
Chen Yu unfolded the map and found that the depicted terrain and landmarks were very detailed, marking nearly all the significant buildings nearby, including the Muda ancient city.
This was far more detailed than any map they had obtained before.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Sir, when you buy a map, we also have some bonuses."
With that shout, the boy took out a big bunch of metal keys and stuffed them over.
These were the same keys Snow had brought out earlier, even the material was identical.
Chen Yu's eyes widened; he hadn't expected these items to be given away for free here.
Among the items the boy gifted were also several jade pendants emitting a pale blue glow.
They seemed to be intended for use in combination with the keys.
"Are these items common around here?" Chen Yu asked subconsciously.
The boy shook his head, "Not many, even my little stall only has a few copies."
Chen Yu gaped. If that was the case, selling them for a hundred thousand seemed too cheap.
Just as he was about to ask for more details, two burly men approached the stall.
"Kid, give me a map."
The two brutes were big and strong-looking, with intimidating scars on their faces that would have scared anyone half to death, but the boy stood his ground, staring them down with a resolute gaze.
"Five hundred thousand!"
Hearing the price, the two men flew into a rage. One of them lifted his machete to the boy's neck.
"Kid, I came to buy a map, doing you a favor and you still have the nerve to ask for money? Looks like you're tired of living, tired of living indeed. Today I'll let you taste what it's like to have your head chopped off."
As his words fell, he raised the machete.
What do you think?
