Chapter 342 Identity Rental
The moment Yalikun appeared, the mentality of the expedition team fell to the bottom.
——A big businessman in the sixth stage!
Yalikun is a big man in Jiuwan City.
Through some activities, everyone present also knew this strong man.
If they still had the idea of challenging and confronting the fifth-stage enemy.
Then the gap like a natural moat brought by the sixth-stage strength is enough to break all illusions.
Even the explorer Lei Ze is no exception.
As the leader of the team, he needs to be responsible for his companions.
Naturally, he cannot bring others to a desperate situation where they are sure to die.
Lei Ze let go of the perceiver who was pressed under him, and said to Yalikun in a fearful tone:
"Mr. Yalikun, we..."
Yalikun interrupted Lei Ze directly:
"Explorers, I know you must be unwilling to go to the forest in vain. But unfortunately, this secret place was discovered by our Chamber of Commerce first, and there is no disagreement on ownership and development rights."
As soon as the voice fell, a powerful source burst out from Yalikun.
The big businessman took out a golden double snake coin from his arms, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to it, and they subconsciously felt succumbed to this power.
A genuine sixth-stage awakener.
He didn't even need to do anything, and the pressure of power alone made everyone present unable to move.
Seeing the environment was quiet.
Yalikun nodded with satisfaction and made a decision in a tone that fully grasped the situation:
"Of course, I also understand your hard work."
"When I return to Jiuwan City, I can sign a gold note in my personal name, and you can use it to exchange it in any world where the Merchant Union Guild has settled."
Leize tried to speak:
"But Mr. Yalikun, the changes in the forest..."
The big businessman interrupted the explorer again:
"Olia's attitude may be a little impatient."
"But you must also understand that everything that happens here will profoundly affect the changes in the entire world, and it is also the goal that our River Beach Chamber of Commerce must achieve."
"Not dealing with you is already my greatest tolerance!"
"..."
Yalikun's words. Almost admitted that the changes in the forest were related to them.
At the same time, as a sixth-stage awakener, he told everyone in the expedition team a truth.
If you stay here obediently and don't interfere with their actions.
Then you can survive.
Lei Ze looked unwilling.
He looked at the sixth-stage businessman in front of him and wanted to make a final effort:
"But there are countless people in the forest..."
Yalikun frowned, and the power to suppress the whole scene gathered on Lei Ze:
"I am dealing with this matter. You just need to stay here honestly and don't let the situation get worse..."
Bang!
Yalikun suppressed Lei Ze and didn't even finish a whole paragraph.
A gunshot suddenly broke out in the forest.
Everyone turned their eyes to the location where the gunshot sounded.
Then they saw Lindsay holding a rifle in one hand, and the muzzle was facing Yalikun, who was just opening his mouth to teach Lei Ze a lesson.
"I...you..."
Yalikun looked at Lindsay with a dull look.
The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Blood had soaked through the shirt on his chest and flowed down along the wound.
Strength was drained from his body, and he soon fell to the ground powerlessly.
"Ah?"
"This..."
Everyone present was almost confused by the scene in front of them.
Even Lei Ze could only call out Lindsay's disguised name in a daze:
"Drake? You... you...?"
"..."
Lindsay said nothing.
He walked forward quickly and kicked the double snake coin in the other's hand.
Then, Yalikun's appearance began to change.
The aura of the sixth-stage big businessman faded away.
Instead, lying on the ground was a plain-looking man. The pain caused by the shooting made it difficult for him to even struggle!
At this time, Lindsay said to Lei Ze:
"With the rigor of the sixth-stage businessman, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to reveal this information to us."
"And it's not a coincidence."
"Some time ago, Yalikun negotiated a big deal in Jiuwan City. He attaches great importance to it and certainly doesn't have time to go out of the city to cause such a big mess."
"..."
Listening to Lindsay's reasons, Lei Ze's expression was mixed.
In fact, Lindsay's choice was not wrong. He successfully saw through the guy disguised as Yalikun.
But if it were another situation.
If the person standing here today was really the sixth-stage big businessman.
Then the result of Lindsay's shot might be the annihilation of their expedition team.
The explorer smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Drake, your insight is really amazing."
"But it's better to be careful in the future. Just for this reason, it's too dangerous to dare to attack a sixth-stage awakener."
Respect for the strong is common sense in countless worlds.
But Lei Ze had a feeling at this moment.
In front of him, this companion who had been traveling with him for more than a month seemed to be unaware of such "common sense".
"Except for a double snake coin, he didn't show any powerful movements." Seeing Lei Ze's expression, Lindsay explained a little more, "And I have also dealt with six-stage businessmen. They are taking advantage of strength. At the same time, it would never be so easy to talk without the constraints of the environment.”
After explaining her point of view, Lindsay glanced at the map.
The normal range of the [Map] skill is small, so he enlarged the range to see.
In addition to the four people in front of me, there is one last red dot deep in the valley.
"Is there still one hidden?"
Lindsay frowned.
Since the other party didn't intend to show up on his own initiative, he wouldn't just rush in confused.
"It's better to figure out the situation first."
Lindsay walked around to the Perceiver.
Originally, because Lei Ze released his suppression, the Perceiver had already gotten up from the ground.
But seeing Alecun's stand-in shot down by Lindsay, he obediently found a tree and squatted down, holding his hands on his head, as if he never dared to cause trouble again:
"Sir, I also received money to do things!"
"In the contract signed with the merchant, I am not allowed to disclose any information. This is a constraint of rules and transactions."
Facing Lindsay, the killer, the Perceptor did not dare to hesitate at all, and honestly explained the reason why he could not speak.
Lindsay pointed to the man next to him disguised as Alec:
"Although this guy is a fake, the Double Snake Coin he holds does not seem to be fake. His identity should be more special, right?"
The perceiver is bound by the rules of the transaction and unable to respond.
But he praised Lindsay very wittily:
"Whether it's strength or wisdom, you are the best here!"
Lindsay understood what the perceiver meant.
So he turned back to the man lying on the ground.
He did not rescue immediately, but first put away the double snake coin that he had kicked away.
[Strange Object: Double Snake Coin - Cargo Rental]
[Six-stage merchants operate through wealth, leasing their personal identities to currencies that others can use. It can also be used as a one-time consumable like ordinary Double Snake Coins. 】
[The extremely rare double snake coins made by the six-stage merchants are of high value. 】
"..."
"Can even something like identity be rented out with Double Snake Coins?"
Lindsay sighed.
According to Elini, he had never heard of merchants having similar abilities. This was probably a skill developed by Alecon himself.
Seeing the man on the ground bleeding.
Lindsay didn't waste any more time and turned to the female doctor behind her and shouted:
"Mira, please come here and control his injuries."
"Don't let this guy die like this!"
