When Fangzheng and her party stepped onto the flat ground again, they felt as if they had escaped from a lifetime ago.
"I thought I was going to die …."
Hu Tao shook her head. She had not done much along the way, but her whole body was almost paralyzed.
"To be honest, I've really thought about how to escape if we sink into the sea …."
Hearing Hu Tao's words, Fangzheng did not say much. She just turned her head and silently looked at the ship behind her that was riddled with holes.
That's right, it was riddled with holes.
The ship had almost completely lost its appearance when they set off. Everything above the waterline was in tatters, and even below the waterline was nailed tightly by various wooden planks. Two of the masts were broken, and there was a big hole in the stern caused by a cannonball. When they first arrived here, the people at the dock thought it was a ghost ship!
"I didn't expect to encounter so much trouble on a trip to the sea."
Even Kuang San, who was usually calm and collected, had a look of disbelief on his face at this moment.
"Storms, pirates, whirlpools, sea tornadoes, Murlocs …. What else haven't we encountered?"
"Sea monsters, I guess. We're lucky we didn't encounter any sea monsters."
Fangzheng was not sure whether they were lucky or not. Along the way, Fangzheng's understanding of "luck" had dropped to a very low level.
"How do you think …. How did she survive until now?"
Looking at Katie who was still in a daze beside Hu Tao, Kuang San began to seriously consider this question.
"The ones we encountered at sea before are enough to kill her ten times over."
"Just because we're here."
Fangzheng was not surprised. In fact, she knew very well what was going on.
"Look, Katie has been unlucky several times along the way, but because we're here, she escaped every time. Because she never succeeded, the 'misfortune' she accumulated is getting stronger and stronger …."
After saying that, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and made a pressing gesture.
"It's like a spring. The more we press it down, the stronger the rebound force.... Kuang San, you'd better stay by Katie's side for the time being. I think..."
However, before Fangzheng could finish speaking, he heard a "crack" sound. The next moment, the wooden board that Katie was stepping on suddenly cracked, and the little fellow only had time to cry out before falling down. Fortunately, Walnut, who was beside her, reacted quickly and grabbed Katie. Otherwise … who knows what would have happened.
A real-life version of the grim reaper has arrived...
"Mr. Fangzheng, can I knock her out and put her in my shadow?"
Kuang San watched silently as Hu Tao pulled Katie up. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and put forward his suggestion. In Kuang San's opinion, it was too dangerous for Katie to walk alone on the street.
"We'll see."
Fangzheng did not know how to answer, so he could only let Kuang San decide for himself.
In the end, Kuang San did not lay a hand on Katie, because she was not sure if she would kill her. Logically speaking, Kuang San's combat experience was extremely rich. It was impossible for him to make such a mistake. But Katie was plagued by bad luck. According to Fangzheng, Katie was now in a state where she would choke to death when drinking water, choke to death when eating, or even fall to death when walking. They could still take care of her if they watched from the side, but if they threw Katie into Kuang San's shadow, no one knew what would happen.
Therefore, Kuang San gave up the idea and went to help Katie with the shipping procedures.
Although the pirates' cannonball "coincidentally" hit the warehouse and destroyed most of the goods in the warehouse, fortunately, as a precaution, Kuang San had stuffed all of Katie's goods into his shadow, so she did not suffer any damage. It was a blessing in disguise.
Following that, after going through the hassle of not being able to find a truck and not being able to get a signature from the customs officers, everyone finally left the dock and "successfully" entered the City of Silver.
Frankly speaking, the City of Silver did not leave a good first impression on them.
To put it simply, this place was more like an enlarged version of those feasting neon districts. Colorful lanterns could be seen everywhere, as well as all kinds of doors that were painted with gold foil. Although the roads here were spacious, the people walking on the street were dressed like nouveau riche. Many of them wore big gold bracelets on their hands, big gold chains around their necks, and big gold rings on their fingers. They looked dazzling and dazzling.
To put it simply, it was … a place of debauchery and luxury.
This was a world where status was measured by wealth.
Smelling the pungent fragrance in the air and listening to the noise around them, everyone frowned. This was not the environment they liked.
"Next, we just need to deliver these goods to the Chamber of Commerce, and the commission will be completed."
After loading the car, Katie breathed a sigh of relief and said to Fangzheng, Hu Tao and the others in a low voice.
"Thank you …."
"You're welcome …. Well, let's deliver the goods first."
Hearing Katie's thanks, Fangzheng opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything. With Katie's luck, it was already her limit that she could persist until now. He did not think that the sky would clear up after the storm. In contrast, there might even be more accidents.
As it turned out, Fangzheng's guess was correct.
On the way from the dock to their destination, they first encountered a crazy carriage that almost crashed the truck. Then, the truck itself fell apart for some reason. Fangzheng had no choice but to ask the Kuang San to store all the goods into his shadow. When they reached their destination ….
"The person in charge has gone home."
Standing outside the gate, the fierce-looking bodyguard looked coldly at Katie and Fangzheng in front of him with a look of disdain.
"We won't be receiving the goods for the next few days!"
"But, but we've shipped the goods here. You should have signed the bill …."
"That's none of my business …."
Listening to the argument between Katie and the bodyguard, Fangzheng shook his head silently, then turned to Kuang San and gave him a look.
Kuang San immediately understood.
Five minutes later, the boss of the Chamber of Commerce, who was manipulated by Songstress Destroyer, obediently came down to sign the bill and settle the rest of the payment.
At this moment, this journey that was filled with hardships and hardships finally came to an end for everyone.
"Thank you so much."
After receiving the payment, Katie breathed a sigh of relief. She handed the promised payment to Hu Tao and thanked her in a low voice. Hu Tao took the payment with a smile and waved at Katie.
"It's nothing. It's nothing …."
"No, thank you so much!"
But this time, before Hu Tao could finish, she was interrupted by Katie. She reached out and held Hu Tao's hand tightly while staring at her.
"In fact, this isn't the first time. Every time, no matter what I do, it doesn't go well. I always fail …. Everyone …. No one wants to work with me …."
Katie lowered her head dejectedly. Fangzheng, Hu Tao and Kuang San looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
As for comforting her by saying, "Actually, you're not that unlucky" …. That was something that could not be said even if it went against one's conscience.
Because they had indeed been unlucky along the way.
If Fangzheng had been wondering why Katie, as the young lady of the Chamber of Commerce, did not have a single guard around her, now he finally understood the reason. Obviously, Katie's guards had long been afraid of her bad luck.
Frankly speaking, if not for the strength of Fangzheng and Kuang San, they would have lost their lives long ago!
"Let's send you home. Don't be so dejected. You should be happy that you finally finished it!"
If Fangzheng and Kuang San had been fighting against bad luck along the way, Hu Tao had been counseling Katie. When she saw that the atmosphere was not right, she hurriedly clapped her hands and changed the topic. When she heard Hu Tao's words, Katie raised her head and smiled.
"That's right. It wasn't easy for me to finish it. I should let Father see …. I finally succeeded!"
After that, Katie rented a carriage and drove towards the Sacred Silver Chamber.
To everyone's surprise, when they got on the carriage, they were all prepared for trouble. But even when the carriage stopped in front of the Sacred Silver Chamber, they did not encounter any problems.
The journey was so smooth that it made them doubt their lives.
"Father! Father!!"
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, before the carriage even stopped, Katie jumped off the carriage happily and ran into the Chamber of Commerce. Fangzheng and the others followed behind Katie and walked into the Sacred Silver Chamber.
The Sacred Silver Chamber was not small. In fact, it could be said to be huge. At the moment, there were many merchants and counter staff who were settling accounts and discussing transactions in front of the counter. When Fangzheng and the others walked into the Chamber of Commerce, they saw Katie jogging all the way to a stern-looking, tall and thin man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed monocle in front of the counter.
"Katie?"
The man with the gold-framed monocle frowned when he saw Katie.
"You're back? How's the deal? "
"Yes, Father. I've completed the deal. Look, the other party has already signed the receipt!"
As she spoke, Katie happily took out the receipt from her pocket and handed it over.
But to everyone's surprise, when he heard Katie's words, her father's face suddenly turned pale.
"What? You completed it smoothly?! "
Along with this sentence, Fangzheng suddenly found that the originally lively hall suddenly became dead silent. ()
