Zhang Lisheng had 97,000 dollars left in his bank account after buying the Explorer. He had two initial plans to use the money. One was to collect a large number of poisonous worms from New York's pet shops and pick out wizard worm embryos with the 'assemble' spell that he obtained when he broke through to Rank-3 Wizard.
The second plan was to look for an excuse to travel to the primitive jungle in America during the winter break if he could not find a suitable poisonous worm from all the pet shops in New York. He would seize the opportunity to hunt for his second wizard worm.
Mahmud gave him a third option now, which was to buy the Komodo monitor that was still alive and ferocious despite being tortured. He would refine it into a wizard worm.
If he succeeded, he believed its power would be similar to Mountoad's at least.
After careful consideration, Zhang Lisheng thought the three options had their pros and cons. The first option would cost a lot, the process was simple and the success rate was high too.
The second option would cost the least and it would definitely succeed, but the process was complicated.
As for the third option, the process was simple too. Putting the success rate aside, the ferocious giant beast would grow a few times bigger after it was refined into a wizard worm. It was a headache.
It was an impossible mission to carry it around like Mountoad.
However, Zhang Lisheng finally made up his mind to refine the giant lizard after a series of expressions flashed across his face.
He could always earn money again, but there were not many chances to refine a Komodo monitor.
Even if the refinement failed or succeeded, the wizard worm would be difficult to use and would be forced to become Mountoad's snack. Such refinement was a beneficial attempt, it was worth the price of tens of thousands of dollars.
Therefore, he took out his credit card and the Explorer's remote key from his pocket and said, "I only have a credit card with 97,000 dollars in it.
Give me 1,000 dollars in cash after swiping the card and move this giant lizard to my car. "
"No problem, sir." Mahmud seemed to know that such a price was Zhang Lisheng's bottom line by observing his expression. He accepted the credit card and the car key right away.
After the deal was done, the two of them hurriedly walked out of the warehouse. After transferring the money, Mahmud nimbly counted out twenty fifty-dollar bills. "Here's the one thousand dollars you asked for. I hope I'll have the opportunity to serve you again in the future, young sir."
"I don't think there'll be anything I need here anymore," Zhang Lisheng said casually with a smile.
Mahmud swayed as he opened the door of the grocery store and said, "That's not necessarily true, sir.
I, Mahmud, specialize in serving 'powerful people' of the present and future. If there's anything you need, you can come to my place to have a look. Who knows, there might be an unexpected surprise. "
Mahmud's last sentence seemed to have a deeper meaning. Zhang Lisheng could not help but be stunned as he looked at him in surprise.
Mahmud, on the other hand, did not seem to feel anything in the face of Zhang Lisheng's naked astonishment. After he opened the door, he passed the Explorer's key back to Zhang Lisheng with a smile. "Take your car key, sir. The goods have been placed in the backseat of your car."
"You are very quick-witted, Mr. Mahmud." Zhang Lisheng took the key and touched his backpack. He looked at Mahmud who never left his line of sight and said.
"Most stores and warehouses that do business in Queens have hidden doors and helpers.
And it just so happens that one of the helpers I hired never uses the key to open the car door because of his previous' profession ', "Mahmud lowered his voice and said with a smile," Then, goodbye, young sir. "
"Goodbye, Mahmud." Zhang Lisheng looked at Mahmud one last time. He did not say anything and walked out of the grocery store directly after saying goodbye.
George had been waiting for Zhang Lisheng at the door ever since he left the grocery store. Meanwhile, Lina and Hannah had completely lost their desire to swim since they were shocked. They stood with George and waited for Zhang Lisheng with their cold limbs.
The three of them were losing their patience after not seeing the grocery store open for over 20 minutes, especially the two girls who were still in shock. They even took out their phones, hesitating if they should call the police or not.
At that moment, George and the rest were relieved when they saw the grocery store's door open and Mahmud sending Zhang Lisheng out while nodding and bowing.
"Hey, buddy, you've made us wait long enough …"
"George, did you see someone carrying a big cage approaching my car?"
"What?"
"Nothing.
George, I have to go to Kaiserland Town for something urgent, I can't send you guys back to Brooklyn.
As an apology, I'll treat you and the two ladies to a lobster dinner at Hilton Hotel tonight, "Zhang Lisheng shoved the 1,000 dollar bill into George's hand as he spoke," But you'll have to pay for me. "
"A lobster dinner for a subway ride, that's a great deal. I forgive you buddy," George was stunned for a moment and said while smiling. George was stunned for a moment. He then lowered his voice and said, "Although I don't know what happened, I hope you'll be careful."
Zhang Lisheng nodded and said to Lina and Hannah who were dumbstruck, "I'm sorry, ladies." He then walked to his gigantic Explorer quickly.
Lina snapped back to her senses and said in disdain as she watched him disappear into the car, "Senior George, your friend's such an eccentric, selfish guy who does whatever he wants.
Such a man thinks he's charming just because he's rich, but he's actually very annoying. "
The lady was no longer awkward and fearful as she commented on men. She sounded logical now.
"That's right, I've told him many times that a charming guy should be sunny, elegant and have a sense of humor but he doesn't listen to me at all.
However, Hilton Hotel's lobster dinner as an apology gift is quite sincere … "
"Hannah won't go to the prom with someone like that no matter how sincere he is.
Senior George, do you have any other senior friends who don't have a dance partner?
"Uh …"
When George, who only had Zhang Lisheng as a friend, was rendered speechless by Lina's sudden question, Zhang Lisheng had already driven slowly along the slow lane in the middle of the Flushing business circle and drove into the main road.
Behind him, the two rows of seats were put down. A big cage covered with a black cloth filled the entire car.
There was a weak, deep hissing sound coming from the black cloth from time to time, sending chills down one's spine.
With the accompaniment of such terrifying noise, the Explorer ran on the New York metropolitan road at the limit of Zhang Lisheng's driving skill. It took him a full two hours to finally arrive outside of Kaiserland Town.
Seeing that he was arriving at his destination soon, Zhang Lisheng who was filled with anticipation sped up a little and turned into the small road that led to LS Slaughterhouse.
However, he saw that the road had already been blocked by a long line of farmers who were transporting livestock to the electric chair.
He was stunned for a moment and had no choice but to turn into the bumpy road again. He stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the iron gate of the slaughterhouse. He realized that there were open trucks in front of the iron gate too.
Feeling helpless, Zhang Lisheng parked his car outside the wall and got off the Explorer. He walked on the dirt road one step at a time and arrived before the iron gate.
"Hey Lisheng, looks like you finally got your driver's license. Nice new car," A familiar townsfolk greeted him while smiling in the cold wind.
"Thanks for the compliment, Mr. John. Can you tell me what's going on now?" Zhang Lisheng looked at the time on his phone and glanced at the endless back of the truck that was filled with livestock that were moo, moo, hum, and baa. He asked, "It's already four o 'clock in the afternoon, so why are there still so many livestock waiting to be slaughtered?"
"Oh, it's always like this before Christmas. The slaughterhouses around New York City will work all night long.
Hey, young man, you should be happy. Can't you tell that you've earned a lot this time? "
Zhang Lisheng who drove two hours carefully to his slaughterhouse just to refine the komodo monitor into his wizard worm had no mood to care about how much he could earn this time.
He opened his mouth and said after thinking about what to say, "But I don't want to work overtime in the factory.
Before, before such an overload of work, we need Willy, Willy to do the maintenance of the machines. Yes, we need to do the maintenance of the slaughtering line before the factory can … "
What Zhang Lisheng said made the farmers and helpers who were smoking and chatting outside the factory laugh out loud. "Haha, guys, look, this is our Lisheng, the only slaughterhouse owner outside New York City with a conscience.
Don't worry buddy, it's the Kaiserland Town's National Farmers Union's decision to overload your slaughterhouse this time. It's not your responsibility even if something goes wrong. "
Realizing that he had no reason to chase away the farmers who were waiting to slaughter their livestock, Zhang Lisheng sighed and waved at the farmers listlessly. He did not even enter the slaughterhouse's iron gate and ran back to his car immediately. He turned the car around and rushed back to the road he came from.
The iron cage that contained the komodo monitor that was covered with a black cloth at the back of the car was making him feel more and more anxious.
Although the windows of the SUV were covered with dark-colored film, one could still see the existence of the big iron cage from the outside of the car if one were to look closely. It was impossible for him to return to New York City like that. He parked the car in the parking lot.
The only thing he could do now was to replace the slaughterhouse to refine the giant lizard in the wilderness where nobody would go. After making up his mind, Zhang Lisheng began looking carefully along the road.
However, what was frustrating was that Zhang Lisheng would always be surprised that New York's suburbs were filled with empty forests and lakes when he was not in the mood to travel.
But when he tried to look for it, he found that there was not a single place in the wilderness beside the highway that was truly uninhabited.
In the end, because it was almost evening and his vision was getting worse, he finally chose a dark forest in the distance. He drove the SUV out of the road and drove straight there.
