Chapter 1600: Going to Jail for Doing Business
1600
"Brother Kuangjun, come and sit down!" Xu Taiping waved to Kuangjun.
Kuangjun hesitated and stood up from the ground.
Although he was very shocked by Xu Taiping's strength and surprised by Pan Sen's death, this did not prevent him from sitting under the shade of a tree. In the entire prison, the shade was the biggest benefit besides water resources. He has never been under the shade of a tree in his life. Now that Xu Taiping is here, he can finally enjoy the shade under a tree. Why wouldn't he do it?
Kuangjun walked to the shade of the trees and could clearly feel that it was much cooler here than under the sun.
Kuang Jun sat across from Xu Taiping, looked at Xu Taiping, and couldn't help but ask, "How can you... be so strong?"
"Am I strong? I'm okay." Xu Taiping smiled, took a sip of water, and then said, "Now that I've made Pan Sen, this shade is mine, right?"
"Before you are defeated, this shade is indeed yours." Kuangjun nodded.
"Comfortable." Xu Taiping smiled, leaned against the tree trunk, and took another sip of water.
Seeing how comfortable Xu Taiping was, the people around him swallowed involuntarily. These days, hiding under the shade of a tree and drinking water is definitely the ultimate enjoyment.
"Who is that, Lei Bao, come here." Xu Taiping shouted to Lei Bao in the distance.
Lei Bao and his companions quickly lowered their heads, pretending not to hear anything. They had not realized how strong Xu Taiping was before. Now Xu Taiping easily killed Pan Sen. This made them a little frightened, fearing that Xu Taiping would retaliate against them. Now when Xu Taiping calls them, they dare not agree.
"If you don't come over, you will be responsible for the consequences." Xu Taiping said.
Lei Bao's body trembled slightly, then he looked at his companion and said, "Let's go."
"You go ahead, he didn't let me go." Lei Bao's companion said.
Lei Bao was very angry at his companion's lack of loyalty. However, it was obvious that Xu Taiping wanted to find trouble with him. It was normal for others not to follow him. Who could guarantee that Xu Taiping would not offend others?
After hesitating for a moment, Lei Bao walked towards Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping's strength is there, you can't hide for a while, and in this underworld, most people are not willing to waste their energy to start a fight with another person. Xu Taiping has already fought several times today. If the beating continues, the physical exertion will be great. Therefore, Lei Bao estimates that Xu Taiping just wants to humiliate him, and may not really do anything to him.
Seeing Lei Bao walking over, Kuang Jun was a little speechless. These days, when newcomers go to prison, they are bullied by the old people. But my roommate specializes in bullying old people. This can be regarded as a precedent.
Not long after, Lei Bao walked to the edge of the shade.
"What do you want? I'm taking your water because of the rules here. Anyone who comes here can take his water. I'm not targeting you." Lei Bao said.
"Why are you standing so far away? Come here." Xu Taiping waved.
"Can I... go in?" Lei Bao asked, pointing to the shade of the tree.
"Of course." Xu Taiping nodded and said, "The shade of the tree is so big, you are not much more than one person."
"Really?" Lei Bao asked.
"Of course it's true!" Xu Taiping nodded, "Come in, sit down, I have something to talk to you about."
Lei Bao hesitated, walked into the shade of the tree, and then sat down on the edge of the shade.
"You grabbed my water before, right?" Xu Taiping asked.
"This... is true, but you are a newcomer, so it is normal to rob you." Lei Bao said.
"Don't say anything about normal or abnormal. Nothing is normal here. I won't say much to you. From now on, you can give me one-third of a bottle of water every day. I'll let you go. Why? Like?" Xu Taiping asked.
"You...want to rob me?" Lei Bao asked in disbelief.
"You can only rob me, can't I rob you?" Xu Taiping asked.
Lei Bao was at a loss for words. In the underworld, it was normal for old people to snatch water from newcomers, but there had never been any newcomers snatching water from old people. Even if there were, it was because the newcomers had joined a certain force and then joined the boss to snatch water from others.
"9527, I advise you not to steal his water." Kuangjun suddenly said.
"I also advise you not to steal my water." Lei Bao said quickly.
"Why?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Water is the key to survival for people here. A bottle of water for each person every day can meet the needs of the body. If there is less water, if things continue like this, there will be only one final result, and that is death from thirst. You can grab Lei Bao now , because he is not as strong as you, but once you rob him, everyone will unite to deal with you, because no one can guarantee that after you rob Lei Bao, you will rob them. In the underworld, there is only Only newcomers can be robbed, and old people are not allowed to be robbed. Even the other two major forces will not rob other people's water, because everyone who is imprisoned here is not easy to mess with, even if you It is very strong, and there is absolutely no way you can face hundreds of people in the entire prison at the same time." Kuang Jun explained.
"Is there anything else like this?" Xu Taiping frowned. This place was not only broken, but also had many rules, which made Xu Taiping quite dissatisfied.
"There once was a very strong man here. That man was rampant in the prison. No one was his opponent. Slowly, he started to steal other people's water, and even used other people's water to bathe. In the end, he aroused public outrage and hundreds of people joined forces to deal with him. No matter when, someone would always try to kill him. He was very strong and killed more than a dozen people, but in the end, he died because everyone was trying to get the water. He drank the water as soon as possible. He couldn't get the water, and he had to fight with people every day. He consumed much more water than others, so in the end he died of thirst." Kuangjun said.
"Understood!" Xu Taiping nodded, and then said, "Since you said so, I won't steal Lei Bao's water."
"Thank you so much!" Lei Bao said excitedly.
"However, I can exchange it with you." Xu Taiping said.
"Exchange?" Lei Bao was stunned. In the underworld, water is the most important resource. Whether it is money or other things, it basically cannot be exchanged for water.
"Yes, I'll let you rest here and enjoy the cool air. How about you give me a quarter of your water?" Xu Taiping asked.
"A quarter of the water is exchanged for the opportunity to enjoy the cool weather here?" Lei Bao asked.
"Yes!" Xu Taiping nodded.
Lei Bao began to think deeply.
Shade and water are scarce resources in the underworld. There are only three trees in the entire open space, which are occupied by the three forces. Except for the people of their forces, others have no way to enjoy the shade. If they can enjoy the shade, then It can reduce the discharge of sweat, so the water consumption will be much slower. If you can hide in the shade of a tree for a whole day, the less water consumption will definitely be more than a quarter of a bottle.
This is a good deal no matter how you calculate it.
"Can we really exchange a quarter of a bottle of water for a chance to rest in the shade of a tree?" Lei Bao asked.
"Yes!" Xu Taiping nodded and said, "The shade of this tree is so big, it won't be too much for you."
"Deal!" Lei Bao nodded, "Tomorrow, I will give you a quarter of a bottle of water!"
"Okay!" Xu Taiping smiled and then said, "Come back tomorrow."
"Yeah!" Lei Bao nodded, stood up and left.
"Brother Kuangjun, how many people do you think my place can accommodate?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It can accommodate about five people in total. Apart from you and me, there are still three places." Kuangjun said.
"Three people, each of them gives me a quarter of a bottle every day, which means that I will get three-quarters more bottles of water than others every day, and I will share half with you." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"Give me half? Why?" Kuang Jun asked in surprise.
"We are roommates, aren't we?" Xu Taiping said with a smile, "Roommates should help each other. I just grabbed Lei Bao's water. If you didn't tell me, Lei Bao probably wouldn't tell me. Then I'd be in trouble." The public is angry and I don’t know why they died, so I should give you half of the water.”
Hearing Xu Taiping's words, Kuang Jun felt a little guilty. When Xu Taiping offended Pan Sen before, he was still thinking of breaking off the relationship with Xu Taiping, but he didn't expect Xu Taiping to be so kind to him.
"Water, you should keep it for yourself. I am very happy that you can let me enjoy the coolness here. I have been here for many years and I am not very capable. But, what do you want to know about this prison? , I should still be able to say something." Kuang Jun said.
"Why is there such a prison?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It's just to imprison people like us." Kuang Jun said, "On the land of China, there are good people, and naturally there are bad people, and we are the so-called bad people. I did a lot of bad things when I was young, so I was caught."
"You said before that if you become a member of the government, can you leave here?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Well, of course, all this is predicated, that is, you have recognized the sins you have committed in the past and repented from the bottom of your heart. Every once in a while, people will be arranged to come down. Anyone who wants to serve the country will , you can apply to meet those people face to face, and once they determine that you really want to change your ways, they will assign you a task, and only after you complete the task can you leave here." Kuangjun said.
"Who caught you?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Hunting dragon." Kuangjun said.
"Hunting dragons?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows. This military organization is really powerful.
"Once you leave here, you can choose to join the Dragon Hunt and fight for this country. You will have a new identity." Kuangjun said.
"So, there are people in the Dragon Hunt who went out from here?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Yes!" Kuang Jun nodded.
"Amazing dragon hunting!" Xu Taiping couldn't help but sigh.
