This made Feng Zhong's face turn as red as a pig's liver.
Not at all?
Why isn't this guy playing by the rules?
Shouldn't both sides be compromising and taking a step back at this point?
Feng Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Wen, there's no need to fight to the death here! Let's talk it out!"
"Now that's more like a negotiation tone."
Chen Wen followed up, "Go ahead and say, what price are you willing to pay?"
Feng Zhong glanced at Matsui Reika, and after cutting down on the pre-agreed price, he shouted, "One cal! Food for both Kuromu and Matsuyama! That's enough!"
Hearing these terms.
Chen Wen couldn't help cursing, "Are you fucking kidding ? That's not enough to cover my expenses for coming here!"
Feng Zhong felt helpless, "How much do you want?"
"I'm not asking for much either."
Chen Wen shouted, "Everything from Kuromu and Matsuyama, including their tools, food, and two cals!"
"That's too much!"
Feng Zhong almost scread.
Their bottom line was one cal, food for two, and four basic tools - a dagger, water bottle, rope, and fire starter.
Chen Wen asked for an additional cal and six more tools right off the bat.
Their choices of tools were complentary since they had pre-decided to team up.
Take Kuromu's tools for example, he carried so items that the team needed but he personally didn't require.
After finding out what Chen Wen wanted through Feng Zhong, even Matsui Reika couldn't help but shout, "Chen Wen! That's too much! We'll agree if you ask for a little less!"
This made Chen Wen's eyes light up.
Matsui Reika!
She is indeed the core mber of the team.
Her making such an offer ant his demands were within their acceptable range, though extrely painful for them to et.
Therefore, Chen Wen remained firm, "No! I want exactly that, or we'll just wait for the Russian Team to co! They were the third to set off, and by my calculations, should be arriving soon!"
"By the way, I should remind you, Fred is my new teammate, and Oleg and I have reached a cooperation agreent!"
This changed the expression on Matsui Reika's face completely.
She quickly confird the truth of Chen Wen's information with Feng Zhong.
Feng Zhong frowned tightly and said, "Chen Wen has indeed had contact with Oleg and it was pretty close, so what he's saying is most likely true."
After confirming the news, Matsui Reika quickly said, "In that case, we agree! Let's go quickly!"
In the Lin Ji Challenge of the last Eight Extres Challenge, Matsui Reika had tricked Oleg once to make it through.
There was a heavy grudge between her and Oleg!
Consequently, Matsui Reika decisively gave up on haggling.
After a short communication,
Matsui Reika and her team left the two cals, supplies, tools, along with two injured mbers at the scene.
Chen Wen squatted on the dune, watching Matsui Reika's group completely disappear into the distance.
Only then did he quickly head towards the cals.
After exchanging a glance with the still conscious Kuromu, Chen Wen checked the items he demanded with his long spear.
"Not bad, at least you kept your word."
Chen Wen smiled, sorted the supplies and tools, and loaded them onto the cals.
Then he looked at Kuromu and Matsuyama.
Truth be told, he didn't have any personal grudge against them; they were just strangers.
"You two wait here for rescue."
Chen Wen didn't make things difficult for them.
He checked Kuromu and Matsuyama's wounds and made sure they were simply bandaged before leaving them alone.
Hearing Chen Wen's words, Kuromu breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the Japan Association's records,
Many tis, facing players who had already lost their qualification, so enemies would intentionally injure them again, making their injuries worse.
To prevent them from participating in subsequent survival challenges.
But Chen Wen didn't do that, which made Kuromu quite grateful.
Ignoring these side characters, Chen Wen pulled the cals towards the artificial forest.
...
In the artificial forest,
Hua Yun had crafted four more wooden spears and stuck them into the ground.
She was feeling restless.
It had been so long, what happened to Chen Wen's side?
What would be the outco of this raid on the Japanese team?
Just when Hua Yun couldn't help wanting to go to the edge of the forest to take a look,
A buzzard swooped down from the sky, landing near Hua Yun.
Through their previous interactions, Hua Yun had ford a bit of familiarity with the buzzard through constant feeding.
"Why are you back? Where's your master?"
Seeing the buzzard, Hua Yun imdiately felt relieved.
If this little guy was back, then Chen Wen shouldn't be too far away.
As if to confirm Hua Yun's thoughts,
just over a minute later,
led by a chorus of calls, Chen Wen ca to the edge of the artificial forest, pulling two cals.
"I'm back! Look at all the good stuff I brought back! Haha! What a harvest!"
Chen Wen's laughter couldn't be contained!
This ti it was a real big gain!
Except for two wooden spears that were wasted, this harvest was unbelievable!
Hearing Chen Wen's cheerful laughter, Hua Yun imdiately walked over.
How much stuff did they get to make soone this happy?
Soon, upon seeing the two living cals along with the loot they carried,
Hua Yun's mouth ford an 'O' shape.
"Did you rob the Japanese team?"
"Pretty much!"
Chen Wen grinned proudly, "We didn't just rob their stuff; we even took out two players, Kuromu and Matsuyama, I think their nas were!"
Hearing this, Hua Yun couldn't help but gasp.
She imdiately asked Chen Wen to recount what happened earlier.
Chen Wen was more than happy to share his great feat, so he sat cross-legged on the ground, resting while recounting.
After hearing Chen Wen's account, Hua Yun held her head, feeling a bit dizzy.
How long had it been?
Excluding traveling ti, probably just a few tens of minutes?
And you tell you took out two Japanese players, seized a ton of supplies, all in front of six people?!
Dude, have you gotten this good?
Hua Yun sighed and said, "You're amazing! Alright, let's first take a look at what tools we have, there are six of them, maybe we'll find sothing useful."
Chen Wen nodded, "That's exact what I was thinking!"
...
The two of them took the tools off the cals.
Chen Wen examined the tools while evaluating their worth, "A climbing pick, looks like the Japanese team was planning to use this on the Kimberley Plateau, but this thing is non-essential, whether to keep it or not doesn't matter."
"A large pot, which overlaps with our tools, and since Fred also brought one, it seems the Japanese team had two of them, otherwise they wouldn't leave one for us."
"Oh, is this a slingshot? Looks like the Japanese team was planning to hunt birds. I heard there are a lot of birds in the Great Sand Desert, maybe this could be useful."
"A hunting knife for processing ga, a better substitute for a dagger."
"Is this fishing line? They plan to fish in Kimberley, it's probably the most useful thing so far."
"Mosquito repellent spray, well, you can use this."
After examining all six tools, Chen Wen couldn't stop shaking his head.
Besides the fishing line, the rest were just as good as disposable.
The Japanese team didn't play fair; they definitely swapped out a lot of tools.
Beside him, Hua Yun remarked helplessly, "This is pretty good already, you know, six tools!"
"Right, better than nothing! I'll take this one."
Chen Wen adjusted his mindset and happily picked up the slingshot.
His long-range attack thods were limited, so this was a good opportunity to try out a slingshot and see if it might diversify his options.
Hua Yun didn't care much about this; it was all Chen Wen's spoils, so he could distribute it however he wanted.
At this point, she asked the question she cared about most, "What should we do next?"
