[Today's Second Watch]
Cao Zhengyi, a low-level slaveholder in the castle of Raging Fire, a fire elemental skywalker. Although he was named after the sun in the age of light, it did not match his evil nature at all. If there were people who would be "grateful" for this catastrophe, then Cao Zhengyi would be one of them.
As a nobody at the bottom of the society in the age of light, those elite white-collar workers and city beauties would avoid him when they saw him. He didn't even dare to go to the cheapest KFC.
However, the disappearance of the sun and the descent of the Age of Darkness had allowed an unremarkable, trash-like man like him to miraculously obtain power that he had never dreamed of.
This kind of power made his life shine brightly. His social status skyrocketed from the bottom of the society to the top of the pyramid in just a blink of an eye.
The people who used to despise him were now fawning over him like dogs; the beauties who used to despise even the corner of his clothes were now fighting to sleep with him …
He had never had such power before. Whoever dared to make him unhappy, he could send them to feed the worms with a flick of his finger. Whoever caught his eye, he could rob, forcibly occupy, or use food to exchange with other slave masters. There was nothing he couldn't do!
Life and death were all in his hands. This kind of unlimited control over other people's life and death made him intoxicated. He felt like he was living in a dream.
He sincerely hoped that this kind of life and death could continue forever. It would be best if it could last forever, so that he could enjoy the pleasures of life and be lawless.
Using his own words that he often said, it would be: "Even I have such a day, hahaha!"
His happy life had lasted until today. To be exact, after he received a shocking news last night, he couldn't sleep at all. Even though he was holding a delicate and gentle woman in his arms, he didn't have any interest in it at all.
The whole night, he kept tossing and turning in bed, thinking about what he should do. His humble life in the age of light had taught him that he shouldn't offend people that he shouldn't offend. Otherwise, in this lawless age, in the castle of Raging Fire, he would end up even more miserable.
He was not worried that he had caught the wrong foreigners, after all, he had caught them from the castle of Snowstorm. What he was worried about was that he didn't know what was going on. When the new "steward" came to ask for the foreigners, not only did he miss the opportunity to flatter him, but he also wanted the steward to exchange food with him, otherwise he wouldn't let the foreigners go.
If it was a steward like Xiao Zhen, he wouldn't care about it at all. He would just eat, sleep, and do whatever he wanted.
But last night, he received a message that this steward was not only brought back by the fire messenger, but it was also said that the castellan was also trying to recruit this steward.
All of these proved that this steward was definitely the fire messenger's trusted follower!
The trusted follower of the fire messenger, when Cao Zhengyi thought of this "title", his body instantly became stiff. Everyone in the castle of Raging Fire knew that the fire messenger was the god of the castle of Raging Fire!
How could he ask for food from the god's trusted follower? What an idiot!
So the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't fall asleep. He pushed away the woman in his arms and got up early. He carefully prepared a bunch of gifts, trying to figure out what he could do.
…
Originally, Chu Yunsheng did not want to see Cao Zhengyi. He had a lot of things to do. But in order to get back the roaring flame gun that Edgar lost, he had to see Cao Zhengyi.
"Come in!" Chu Yunsheng tidied up his clothes, sat on the chair, and started to rummage through the cup to find some water.
When the door was pushed open, a man rolled in and kneeled down in front of Chu Yunsheng.
"Mr. Steward, I got a few bottles of wine from the castle of Snowstorm last night, and I was drunk, so I didn't recognize you. I really have eyes but failed to recognize you! What a damned son of a bitch! You are a magnanimous person. A great person like you will not remember the wrongs of a lowly person like me. You must forgive a lowly person like me! "Cao Zhengyi was flexible. He opened his hand and slapped himself.
"Stand up and talk." Chu Yunsheng was not used to the strict slave hierarchy in the castle of Raging Fire, so he said while looking for water.
"You forgive me?" Cao Zhengyi asked nervously.
"Where's the gun?" Chu Yunsheng looked through all the cups on the table, but he still couldn't find any water. He was a bit angry, but he couldn't get any water from the storage talisman. So he decided to be straightforward. The sooner he finished this, the sooner he could eat and drink.
"Gun?" Cao Zhengyi was dazed for a long time before he realized what Chu Yunsheng was talking about. He thought that Chu Yunsheng was talking about a gun as a code word to ask for a bribe. "Lord Manager, please wait for me, I have already prepared it for you!"
After saying that, Cao Zhengyi stood up. Once the steward accepted the things, it meant that last night's matter was written off. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He shouted loudly towards the door, "Aren't you going to send the things in for the steward to see?"
Someone outside the room quickly responded. Then he saw two middle-aged men carrying a big wooden box and putting it down in the middle of the room. Behind them was a woman who lowered her head carefully.
"Damn it! Why don't you look at where you are! You are so clumsy! " Cao Zhengyi was very dissatisfied with the sound of the box being put down. He immediately raised his hand and slapped each of the middle-aged men.
"Okay, okay, don't cause trouble here, open the box!" Chu Yunsheng just wanted to get the roaring flame gun back, he didn't have time to care about other things.
"Hey, hey …" Facing Chu Yunsheng, Cao Zhengyi's expression changed faster than flipping a page of a book. The flattering smile on his face was almost like a flower.
When he opened the box and showed Chu Yunsheng the items one by one, he said flatteringly, "rice, biscuits, instant noodles … salt!"
Speaking of salt, Cao Zhengyi confidently looked at Chu Yunsheng. In this world, salt was even more precious than gold in the age of light. He believed that the steward would be very satisfied with it.
However, what he saw was that the steward's face was getting more and more gloomy, dissatisfied, and even angry!
'Impossible, these are the best gifts that I have carefully prepared, even if I give them to the castellan, he would be very happy.' Cao Zhengyi's heart skipped a beat.
"Where's the gun!" Chu Yunsheng said coldly.
"Gun … gun … Mr. Steward, this … isn't this a" gun "? You … you … you see, I have already prepared the" bullets "for you …" Cao Zhengyi was sweating profusely. He quickly pulled the woman behind him and said while stuttering.
"Humph, Slave Master Cao, do you want me to give you more food to exchange for the gun?" Chu Yunsheng suddenly pointed his finger at the place where the cloaked man lived and sneered, "do you know whose gun this is?"
"Ah!" Cao Zhengyi was really startled. He quickly shook his head and swore, "Mr. Steward, grandpa, please don't make fun of me, if I have that kind of intention, I will be bitten to death by the insects!"
"Stop talking nonsense, where's the gun?" Chu Yunsheng suddenly stood up, took two steps forward, and stared into Cao Zhengyi's eyes.
Only then did Cao Zhengyi realize that he misunderstood the steward's words. Cold sweat instantly covered his forehead. He did not dare to look at Chu Yunsheng's eyes, "Mr. Steward, what kind of gun do you want? As long as I have it, I will definitely give it to you …"
"You are the one who caught Edgar, and I heard that the gun in his hand is also in your hands. Don't tell me that you don't know anything," Chu Yunsheng said. Chu Yunsheng took another step forward, Cao Zhengyi hurriedly took a step back. Chu Yunsheng continued, "people like you are not qualified to know these things, but you don't want to give it to me. Let me remind you, that gun was specially made by the fire messenger, you know how much it is worth!"
Cao Zhengyi was sweating profusely. He did not expect that the steward was talking about that gun. He thought about it for a whole night, but he still felt that he offended the steward when he asked for food. As for the three foreigners, the steward also said that he wanted to ask about the castle of Snowstorm, so he did not think too much about it. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Steward, so you are talking about that gun, the gun is here … I will go and get it now."
Cao Zhengyi's soul almost flew out of his body. What the hell did he do? Originally, he was tired of playing with those women who used to think they were nobles, but when he saw a blonde foreign beauty in the castle of Snowstorm, he wanted to have some sex with her and get himself some slaves. But he didn't expect that he would have a direct relationship with the fire messenger, he almost fainted …
"What are you waiting for?" Chu Yunsheng gave him a kick on the butt, and when he looked up, he saw Edgar was walking towards them with his plant expert.
Edgar and his partner were scared by Cao Zhengyi, so when they saw Cao Zhengyi hurriedly coming out of Chu Yunsheng's room, they immediately moved aside and watched Cao Zhengyi's back vigilantly.
Since things had already come to this, Chu Yunsheng was not in a hurry. He bent down and picked up a bag of biscuits from the box that Cao Zhengyi brought. He also took out a bottle of expired soda and put them on the table. Xiao Zhen had not brought any food yet, but he was already hungry and thirsty.
"You didn't eat either?" Chu Yunsheng was chewing the biscuit when he saw Edgar was looking at him while swallowing his saliva. He pointed at the box on the ground and said, "you did it yourself, and you still want me to serve you?"
Edgar laughed embarrassedly, "I haven't eaten anything for a few days …"
Chu Yunsheng had to admit that Cao Zhengyi had spent a lot of money to get back his good impression of him. He even asked Edgar to find a bag of perfectly sealed bread in the box. Bread could easily go bad, but this bag of bread did not have any signs of mold. Chu Yunsheng even suspected that this food might have come from the underground palace of the rich man named Zhang Hu.
"The rest of you can leave now." Chu Yunsheng waved his hand at the two muscular men who were carrying the box and the woman who followed him into the room.
"Ren …" Edgar suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, so he immediately changed his words, "Mr. Steward, can you give some to Durui?"
"You can do it yourself, don't listen to me. How is it, have you talked to her? Is she willing to work for me? "Chu Yunsheng looked at the plant expert and asked Edgar.
Last night, after listening to Edgar's description, he vaguely felt that this woman was not as simple as she seemed. Just from the fact that she was willing to sacrifice herself for a female student from another country, he knew that she was a person who was not afraid of death. A person who was not afraid of death, no bargaining chip would work on her. (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please log in. Support the author, support the original reading!)
