Chapter 1556 Dual-purpose
Tian Yun refused to lower the price any further.
While he and He Lingchuan were fighting, the beetles were stepping up their exploration of Yongquan Villa. Tian Yun gave them a new task:
Don't go to crowded places.
The person he wants to find probably won't live with a group of living people.
People like them hate noisy places the most and need quiet thinking the most.
Therefore, a house with a separate door and courtyard is the best.
Adhering to this requirement, the beetles specifically go into the dense forests.
It will take some time.
The price that Tian Yun insisted on was still higher than He Lingchuan's psychological price.
After all, every number is in ten thousand.
Fan Shuang also chimed in: "President Tian, it may be difficult for you to find a big client like Brother He in Tianshui City who can consume all your Xuan crystals at once."
Tian Yun looked regretful and said, "I need the money. It's urgent, but not urgent either. He Dao really doesn't want it. I will slowly look for a suitable seller."
He Lingchuan suddenly said, "Yes."
"Then I will..." Tian Yun thought he didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"
"I want this batch of black crystals."
Tian Yun was stunned and asked, "Seven hundred thousand taels?"
"Yes, I want them all." He Lingchuan asked, "Is there a problem?"
"No no."
Blah! Tian Yun cursed inwardly, then said happily: "If you say 700,000 taels, it is 700,000 taels, deal."
He Lingchuan immediately handed over the silver note and Tian Yun wrote the receipt, and both parties were very happy to settle the transaction.
Tian Yun carefully put away the banknotes, and then said, "Master He, I heard that there is a sweet spring in Yongquan Villa, which is delicious for making wine and soup. Can I fetch some water myself and bring it back?"
Since it is called Yongquan Villa, how could it be without a spring?
Time, time, his worm still needs some time!
The beetles are too small, and hundreds of them are scattered all over the huge villa. It will take some time to understand the core area and civil defense arrangements of Yongquan Villa.
"No problem!" He had just sold him seven hundred thousand worth of black crystals, so what's wrong with asking for some spring water? He Lingchuan smiled and said, "I'll take you there. Also, how about President Tian having a simple meal at my place at noon?"
The deal was done, and the owner of the villa showed his hospitality. Tian Yun was just waiting to hear this sentence.
So He Lingchuan ordered the small kitchen to start cooking to entertain the distinguished guest, and personally took him to fetch two full jars of sweet spring water.
As the three of them walked, Tian Yun was thinking about doing something. He brought a few steamed bun-sized soft-skinned spores and wanted to throw them on the ground and step on them, but the guards surrounded the three of them in a triangle shape, so he couldn't guarantee that his actions could be hidden from so many eyes.
He could only leave for a short while on the pretext of having to go to the bathroom suddenly.
When he came back from the toilet, He Lingchuan asked with a smile: "President Tian, aren't you afraid that the deal won't be concluded, and that this black crystal worth 700,000 yuan can't leave the gate of Yongquan Villa?"
Tian Yun was stunned: "Why is Island Master He such a person?"
"The heart is hidden behind the belly, but money can move the heart."
Tian Yun was about to answer when he suddenly stopped and his face changed.
He acted as if something happened ahead. But when He Lingchuan and Fan Shuang looked ahead, they saw that the path ahead was quiet and there was at most a lizard that flashed by.
"what happened?"
Tian Yun calmed himself down and waved his hands: "It's okay, it's okay. I was a little dizzy after squatting for so long. Yao Ting has entrusted the project worth tens of millions to Island Master He. Even the king can trust him, so what do I have to worry about?"
After this big accusation was put on him, He Lingchuan smiled and stopped questioning.
In fact, the small beetle controlled by Tian Yun had just flown close to a low hill and vaguely saw a cellar on the mountain, but the door was also painted green, blending in with the surrounding landscape. If you didn't get close and look carefully, you would miss it.
The beetle stopped for a moment on a nearby branch and noticed nothing unusual.
Just as it was about to leave, someone came over with a food box and knocked on the door three times.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
After knocking, the man took two steps back and didn't knock any more.
After a few breaths, the green door opened and out walked out a... monkey?
What an ugly monkey! It has such a grimace.
Other monkeys have to make faces and show their teeth to be scary, but it doesn’t need to. It just shows its true nature.
Is this the monkey?
The beetle on the branch immediately took off, trying to take the opportunity to jump into the door.
The monkey with a ghost face snatched the food box from the person who delivered the food, turned around, and the green door closed again with a bang.
So fast!
The beetle was still two meters away from the green door, but was turned away.
It didn't give up and wanted to try to get in through the crack in the door.
At this moment, something suddenly flashed past its eyes, so fast that the beetle couldn't see it clearly.
Then, the screen went black.
Tian Yun rubbed his eyes. It seemed that his beetle was attacked by some creature just now.
Because he shared the beetle's vision, the last thing he saw was something falling on his face!
Startled him.
"Mr. Tian, are you okay?"
He Lingchuan looked concerned.
"It's okay, I'm a little tired lately." Tian Yun picked up the chopsticks again.
What kind of creature just attacked the beetle?
He tried hard to recall the last scene, and the frozen image seemed to be a wing?
It was very blurry and the outline could not be seen clearly, but ordinary birds that preyed on insects could not eat his beetles at all.
Of course Tian Yun would not give up just like that.
He exhaled lightly and secretly mobilized more beetles to fly to the mountain cellar.
If you observe from multiple angles, you won’t miss anything, right?
About a quarter of an hour later, another beetle flew towards the green cellar door.
When Tian Yun controlled it, he felt its reluctance.
There seemed to be some force or something threatening the cellar door, and the beetle was unwilling to get close.
But it could not disobey Tian Yun's orders.
The beetle was about to fly to the door, and then there was another whoosh and the screen went black.
So fast! Tian Yun's breathing was slightly choked.
The other beetles were hiding on nearby branches, but they only saw a gray shadow flash in front of the door and had no idea what it was.
After suffering two defeats, Tian Yun ordered the third beetle to come closer.
The gray shadow reappeared, and the third one was gone.
The fourth one comes up.
This cycle continued until the eighth beetle died heroically. Only then could Tian Yun barely see clearly that it was a bat.
Although its body is also covered with dense hair, its snout and mouth are a bit pointed, making it look more like a bird than a bat.
Tian Yun knew that there was a kind of long-billed bat called the thorny bat on the Asian Islands in the South China Sea. Unlike ordinary bats, it did not feed on insects or suck blood, but injected poison into its prey, making it numb and unable to move.
The thorny bats don't kill their prey, they just bite the flesh and blood from it, and leave when they are full. After some time, they may come back to visit this mobile food truck again.
But the thorny bat is very small, about the size of a hummingbird. The beetle killer in front of him is twice as big as a hummingbird and is incredibly fast.
