1520 The space-time Codex (1)
When he eavesdropped on the conversation of the wandering mercenaries in the surroundings earlier, Tang Zhen had heard the words “Desert Platinum” from these people. His tone carried a trace of expectation that he could not suppress.
Their identity and attire proved that they were not locals, and their strength far exceeded that of other wandering mercenaries. At the same time, they were also very interested in the special Metals in the Starfall desert. As such, Tang Zhen had a chance to operate them.
...As long as the other party came for the special metal and knew the information he wanted, Tang Zhen was confident that he could obtain it from them.
In fact, it didn’t matter even if the other party didn’t know. Tang Zhen’s plan included finding a few natives to help him gather information. He would hide his identity as much as possible to avoid attracting the attention of people with ulterior motives.
A trace of vigilance flashed across the eyes of the few people at the table when they saw Tang Zhen walking over. They quietly made their preparations for battle.
The public security environment here was very poor. There were incidents of trouble and fighting happening from time to time. Who knew if Tang Zhen was a local snake who was deliberately looking for trouble?
“Brother, thank you for the wine!”
There were a total of five people at the table, four men and one woman. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man wearing a dark red metal bulletproof vest. It looked like a Knight’s plate armor, and there were many traces of damage on it.
His eyes were especially bright, and his face was full of strange tattoos that flickered with fluorescent light, making his appearance very ferocious. He was like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, and no one knew when he would stretch his head out to bite you.
The middle-aged man held a bottle of wine in his hand and said with a ferocious smile on his face, ” “But we only drink with people we know, so I can only reject your kind intentions. Please don’t mind.”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man reached out and pushed the wine bottle to the opposite side of the table. He stared at Tang Zhen without blinking.
it’s just a bottle of wine. You don’t have to pay anything for it.
Tang Zhen smiled. He picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a cup. After which, he pushed it in front of the middle-aged man and raised the wine cup to take a sip.
The taste of this wine was very strange. After it entered his mouth, there was a feeling of explosion, followed by a mouth full of fragrance, which made people’s spirits rise.
The middle-aged man opposite smiled when he saw this. He picked up a bottle of wine and poured himself a cup. After which, he stared at Tang Zhen and said,”Tell us, friend. What do you want from us?”
One must have a certain purpose for being so attentive. Tang Zhen’s bottle of wine was just an excuse to talk. Although it was very ordinary, it was very effective.
The middle-aged man couldn’t see through Tang Zhen and didn’t want to cause trouble for the time being. Therefore, he took the opportunity to give Tang Zhen a chance to speak, so as to prevent him from becoming angry from embarrassment.
I saw that your words and actions were completely different from the others, so I guessed that you must have come from a big place. At the same time, you may know more secret information.
The middle-aged man nodded, tacitly agreeing with Tang Zhen’s speculation.
“That’s why I want you to help me gather some information. If you can do it, I will definitely not be stingy with my reward.” Tang Zhen put down his wine cup and said in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and said in a regretful tone, ” I’m sorry, friend. I think you’ve got the wrong person. If you want to get information, you should go directly to those intelligence dealers.
Tang Zhen nodded,”I will indeed go and look for them. However, I think that all of you will definitely be very interested in it. After all, I have something that all of you want in my hands.” &Nbsp;
Tang Zhen said as he took out a bag. Inside it was a lot of Special Metals that he picked up on the way from the desert to the town. They made a crisp sound when they hit the metal table.
How could Tang Zhen easily miss out on this kind of special metal that could be used as currency? therefore, he used the treasure hunting function fixed on the ring and picked up quite a lot of it along the way.
Pointing at the money bag, Tang Zhen said with a smile,”No one would go against money. What do you think?”
The middle-aged man glanced at the money bag and gave his companion a look. Then, he saw a bald man in a coat reach out to open the bag and check it carefully.
boss, I don’t have energy coins in my pocket. Instead, I have high-quality Desert Platinum!
Hearing the bald man’s words, his companion’s expression changed slightly. They secretly looked at each other, shock and doubt flashing in their eyes.
This was especially so for the female member who was sitting beside Tang Zhen. She directly snatched the bag over and carefully checked it. After that, she looked at the middle-aged man with an eager expression.
alright, friend. You’ve offered a price that my companion and I can’t refuse. But first, tell me what you want to know. Maybe we won’t have the chance to get this bounty.
Tang Zhen nodded and lowered his voice, I only want to know one thing. Do you know anything about the spacetime Codex? ”
Hearing Tang Zhen mention the spacetime Codex, the middle-aged man frowned. He pondered for a moment and said, what a coincidence. If you ask someone else, you probably won’t get anything. After all, this kind of thing has been going on for a long time, and fewer and fewer people know about it. I’ve only come into contact with some by chance!
Tang Zhen’s heart was filled with joy as he continued to listen.
according to the rumors, this spacetime Codex is a strange object from outer space that suddenly appeared thousands of years ago. It landed nearby, and it is said that it has extremely powerful abilities, allowing ordinary people to become as omnipotent as gods!
It was because of its existence that it had caused hundreds of years of turmoil. It was unknown how many forces had been involved, and the number of people who had died was uncountable.
Back then, the spacetime Codex was split into four parts, three of which ended up in the hands of an unknown top power, and the last one is missing.”
When the middle-aged man said this, he used a cautious gaze to size up his surroundings. He softly said to Tang Zhen, it is said that the missing one is near the fallen star desert, but this is only a legend. No one can confirm this news, and more than one person has come here to look for it, but in the end, all of them found nothing.
Tang Zhen’s heart thumped wildly. If the rumors were true, then he would really have to collect information to see if he could find any information about the spacetime Codex.
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, Tang Zhen nodded and pointed to the money bag, from now on, they belong to you, but I still hope to get more information about the other three spacetime codices. If you can get them, I can pay you double the reward!
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment before he nodded. “I’ll gather information as soon as possible. I’ll still be here in seven days and give you an answer!”
it’s a pleasure working with you. I look forward to your good news!
Tang Zhen raised his wine cup and downed it in one gulp. After which, he walked onto the street and began to wander around.
After Tang Zhen left, the middle-aged man passed the money bag to his female companion and said with a smile,”With these Desert Platinum, you should be able to finish making your spirit force Armor, right?”
The female team member shook her head and said with a hint of disappointment in her excitement, it’s not enough. Even with the ones I’ve collected, I can only complete half of it. It seems that I have to think of another way.
A cloaked man who had not spoken since the beginning said, ” are we still going to look for Gurgan? after all, he’s the only one with enough Desert Platinum? ”
Beside him sat a man who was dressed similarly. If one looked closely, they would find that the two were actually twins.
The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, ” “The modified Gurgan isn’t short on money. As far as I know, his experiments will consume a large number of precious materials, one of which is Desert Platinum.
If you want to use energy coins to buy the desert Platinum from him, the possibility of success is very low. The only way is to snatch it!”
Everyone nodded lightly. In fact, they had already made preparations to take action when they arrived here. However, as the local tyrant, Gurgan had no lack of mercenaries who would risk their lives for anything. It would be extremely difficult to snatch anything from him.
Before they met Tang Zhen, they had been observing and gathering information, waiting for the best time to make a move.
boss, do you think we can find a way from that guy just now? if he still has Desert Platinum, then the problem will be simple, right? ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said in a deep voice, ” this is indeed a solution. So for the time being, we’ll split into two groups and continue to search for the location of the treasures. At the same time, we’ll gather information on the spacetime Codex. Hopefully, we’ll be able to find something!
The middle-aged man shook his head and said in a low voice, ” another lunatic who has been bewitched by the legends. But he’s still of use. I hope he doesn’t die too early!
Everyone laughed at the same time and finished the wine in their cups.
