“Goods?”

Lu Xin was slightly taken aback.

The village chief explained, ” the freight roads are the main roads built by the pyro company to transport their goods. They’re very flat and suitable for large vehicles. It saves fuel and can run fast, but ordinary people aren’t allowed to use them. They need to report it to their agent, pay the toll, and get an approval before they can pass through the Sentry posts and enter the cargo road. Then, they can go straight to Pyro city.

“There’s such a good path here?”

Lu Xin quickly asked.

After listening to the village chief’s explanation, he finally understood that the land of chaos had also been roughly divided by the pyro company.

With the pyro group’s skyscraper as the center, the core of the land of chaos, Pyro city, was marked out. The gathering points and towns around the city were divided into four large districts, North, South, East, and West. They were similar to four large branch offices. Outside the four large districts, there was a large ” wasteland. although it was nominally under the jurisdiction of the pyro company, the people of the pyro company usually did not bother with it.

The land of chaos was actually the wasteland outside of these four regions.

In such a wasteland, there was no such thing as a Mayor or Mayor. Instead, it was divided into small areas. Each small area had an agent in charge of the four major areas, who purchased materials and distributed supplies for them.

This so-called cargo route was the internal transportation network monopolized by the fire seed, a long and wide main road.

if that’s the case, it’s going to be a problem for us to get to Pyro city smoothly

Lu Xin began to seriously consider this question.

In fact, he was quite lucky today to have met such a reasonable village chief, which avoided a lot of trouble.

However, if he continued to take the small path, he might still fall into a trap, and there might be similar extortions and robberies.

He might not meet people as reasonable as the people in this village every time. If someone wanted to kill him, he would have to kill them for fairness. However, if he met too many people along the way, wouldn’t he have to kill a lot of people?

Lu Xin didn’t want to kill too many people because he didn’t like it.

Since that was the case, he could only do as the village chief said and find an agent, right?

In order not to give those people a chance to be killed by him, he had to pay the passage fee that he could have saved

Sigh, I’ll just take it as a compromise to this world!

“In that case, I can also find an agent?”

Lu Xin asked after some thought.

sure, the agent is in charge of everything. As long as you have the money, you can do anything

The village chief said, ” whether it’s the usual toll for the goods, the usual tax collection, or the fights between the two sides, everything in the wasteland is under his control. Sigh, because we lost the fight with the gathering point next door last time,. lot of things and women were stolen from us. Now. we don’t even know how to pay the next season’s tax

“Oh  ”

“So that’s why you guys want to Rob me?” Lu Xin suddenly asked.

“This isn’t  ”

in terms of skill, we’re at most blackmailing him. It’s an unsuccessful attempt, not robbery, ” the village chief said confidently.

Faced with such a detailed division of work, Lu Xin could only admit that what the man said made sense.

Lu Xin shook his head slightly. Since the other party was so honest, Lu Xin agreed. “However, this isn’t very good, is it?”

whether it’s robbery or extortion, they’re both illegal

“Customer, you’re wrong.”

The village chief actually retorted Lu Xin’s words, ” we can’t even survive. Why should we be afraid of breaking the law? ”

Then, he glared at the door. Trumbo, you’re eating rocks again! Put it down!

Lu Xin turned around and saw a snot-nosed child squatting by the door, licking a rock. As he licked the rock, he glanced at the sausage on his table. His eyes glowed as if he could taste the sausage with just a single glance.

Lu Xin couldn’t bear to see him like this, so he handed him a sausage. “For you to eat.”

“AI  ”

The village chief immediately wanted to stop him, but the child was already surprised and overjoyed. With a “Swoosh,” he came over and snatched the sausage away.

Lu Xin’s mood brightened up as he watched the man gobble down the food.

“You  ”

The village chief didn’t know what to say. It was as if Lu Xin’s actions had put him in a difficult position.

Lu Xin quickly realized that something was wrong. After Trumbo took the sausage, a group of small, black heads began to crowd around the entrance, looking at him pitifully. Slightly taken aback, he turned around and saw that the village chief had already put away the sausage on the table. Not only the sausage, but even the cornbread and coarse bread were kept away.

“So petty  ”

Lu Xin looked at the village chief with dissatisfaction before walking to his car and taking out a box of canned beef and flatbread. He placed them at the entrance.

“Take it yourself!”

He was in a good mood when he saw the children swarming up and holding the gifts in their hands.

The village chief didn’t know what to say when he saw this. He seemed to have sensed Lu Xin’s dissatisfaction with him, so he put down the cornbread and dry bread in embarrassment. this is how the village is. No one wants to let the children go hungry, right? ”

As he spoke, he shook his head. but you don’t know how ruthless the agent is when collecting taxes. When the Knights come to Rob, they don’t care. They just say that they collect as much tax as they want. The things we grow in the land are not enough to eat, so we hand them all over. In the end, we still owe them a lot. What if we can’t survive? of course, we have to find a way to get some food

“But to be honest, we still follow the rules.”

Lu Xin was almost able to understand him, but he suddenly froze. “You’ve already started extorting, yet you’re still following the rules?”

“Of course  ”

The village head even said with some pride, ” when the guests come to our village, we help and take care of them. We provide them with food and drinks, and even if they want to do a show to save up, we do our best to provide them. In the end, no matter how much money the guests have, we are not greedy. We will not harm their lives or hurt them. After robbing them, we will always leave them some money for their journey. At least, we can let them go back alive

“You tell me, aren’t we the proper people?”

“Eh?”

Lu Xin’s mind lit up.

To be honest, why did he feel that the village chief’s words were quite reasonable

If he couldn’t even survive, it was understandable to Rob and extort some, right?

To be able to keep a bottom line outside of robbing and extorting, he seemed to be a rule-abiding person

Lu Xin felt as if he had accidentally heard a profound life philosophy. He didn’t usually like to talk much, but now, he was starting to become a Chatterbox. The two of them chatted happily, and soon, they became good friends.

Not only did the village chief explain the situation and rules in detail to Lu Xin, but he also pointed him in the right direction to the agent.

Due to his enthusiasm, Lu Xin even left him an extra 50 yuan before he left.

Before he left, many villagers came over to send him off. They waved at Lu Xin in a friendly manner and sent him off.

The village chief personally led his men to send Lu Xin off to prevent him from falling into the surrounding ditches.

After all, they had dug these trenches themselves, so they knew the location better.

When it was time to part, she even reminded Lu Xin with concern, ” customer, you must remember that when you reach the agent’s place, you must follow the rules. Don’t say things you shouldn’t say, and don’t do things you shouldn’t do. Your specialty products are nothing to them. We are all honest people, so we must not run to them and play tricks. Only by doing things according to the rules can we live long

Alright, alright. Don’t worry. You can go back now!

“I’ve always followed the rules,” Lu Xin promised with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he waved goodbye to them and rushed to the agent’s office in an extremely good mood.
