Starting from the office buildings we kept passing through

Chapter 56: Dividing the Armor, Seeking Reinforcements

"You've all seen how heavy the rain is outside."

Inside the room, everyone glanced at the heavy rain outside and nodded in agreement.

"I might need to take a day off today."

"The rain is too heavy; it's impossible to go hunting in the forest in this downpour. If I catch a cold, it will be a real problem."

Chen Hao said.

"clear."

Everyone naturally understood this principle and nodded in agreement.

"Besides this matter, there is something else I need to tell you."

Then Chen Hao pointed to the armor shop and said to them, "This is a building that can automatically produce various kinds of armor."

"Four sets of armor were made last night."

"Two pieces of leather armor and two pieces of cloth armor, both offering good defensive capabilities."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze fell upon the four sets of protective gear on the table, their eyes shining.

"However, there are too many monks and not enough porridge. There are only four sets, which is definitely not enough for you to share."

"So, the old way will do: draw lots."

"Whoever is lucky, these four sets of armor will be given to them first."

"But I don't know when we'll get the armor, because we've almost run out of materials and there's no way to hunt for them for the time being."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately rubbed their hands together, eager to try their luck.

"This time, I must win."

Zhou Wu said excitedly.

"I hope God will be on my side."

Yuan Luo clasped his hands together and prayed in his heart.

"Let me win once."

Luo Hai rubbed his hands together, looking nervous.

"I hope my good luck continues."

Kong Hao cheered himself up.

Everyone else cheered themselves on.

Li Laoshi, on the other hand, stood silently and very calmly.

Because he was wearing a shirt that Chen Hao had given him as protective gear.

Although he didn't have any bottoms, it was enough for him.

Soon, Chen Hao took out twelve bamboo sticks and held them in his palm: "Those with red at the bottom are the ones that have won."

"Let's each pick one."

"Zhao Long, you go first."

Chen Hao called out by name.

Zhao Long took a deep breath, stepped forward, picked out a cigarette, and smoked one.

Unfortunately, I didn't win.

"Sigh," Zhao Long shook his head and returned to the group in disappointment.

The others breathed a silent sigh of relief.

Next up was Li Laoshi.

Without hesitation, Li Laoshi casually picked up a cigarette.

Upon closer inspection, there was red on the bottom.

"It's a winner!" Before Li Laoshi could speak, Liu Zhan, who had sharp eyes, shouted out.

Wow, I actually won!

Everyone looked at Li Laoshi with envy.

"Li Laoshi, just pick any set you like."

Chen Hao pointed to the four sets of protective gear on the table and said to Li Laoshi.

Li Laoshi first expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Brother Chen."

Then he walked over, picked out a set of leather armor, and returned to the group amidst the envious glances of the crowd.

Next were Kong Hao, Liu Yun, Liu Zhan, Zhang Zhen, and Luo Hai.

Clearly, Chen Hao had chosen the veterans of the hunting team.

Two out of the five people were selected.

They are Liu Yun and Zhang Zhen, respectively.

Both were delighted. Zhang Zhen chose to put it on directly, while Liu Yun chose to give the leather armor she had drawn to Zhao Long.

Zhao Long was deeply moved, but resolutely refused to accept it.

But in the end, Zhao Long still wore the leather armor.

The reason is simple: Zhao Long couldn't go against Liu Yun's wishes.

Finally, there were five people who joined later, including Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu.

"Let's all smoke together."

Chen Hao said.

So, all five of them simultaneously drew a slip of paper from Chen Hao's hand.

"I won! I won!"

Zhu Zhen waved the bamboo stick in his hand with great joy.

The other four looked disappointed.

"This isn't fair," Zhou Wu muttered unhappily as he looked at the overjoyed Zhu Zhen.

Zhou Wen, who was standing next to him, changed his expression drastically and hurriedly tugged at his younger brother's clothes.

At the same time, I carefully observed the people around me.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized they hadn't heard him.

He didn't see that Chen Hao's gaze lingered on Zhou Wu for a moment longer.

"Alright, you can all leave now."

"Yes."

Everyone quickly went outside.

The person who drew the armor was overjoyed, as if they had won a big prize.

The others looked disappointed.

Zhou Wen made an excuse to go to the restroom, and pulled Zhou Wu out of the office to a relatively secluded corner.

"What do you want to do, Zhou Wu?"

Zhou Wen glared fiercely at his younger brother and growled.

"That's right, bro. It's our turn now. There's only one spot left. Five of us are competing for one spot, while seven of them are competing for four spots."

"Do you think this is fair?"

Zhou Wu always believed that he was not wrong.

There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world.

"The seven of them are veterans, while we are newcomers, so there is a natural gap between us."

"Besides, those things all belong to Brother Chen. He can give them to whomever he wants or is willing to give them, and no one can find fault with that."

"What, do you want Brother Chen to save one just for you?"

Zhou Wu stopped talking, but his face still showed resentment and even a hint of grievance.

"Let me tell you, watch your mouth from now on. If you say anything careless again, I'll sew your mouth shut, or you'll get yourself into trouble because of it sooner or later."

Zhou Wen said sternly.

He wanted to say something more, but when he heard footsteps approaching, he shut his mouth and pulled Zhou Wu away.

After the hunting team left, Ma Tao brought Luo Zhen in.

"Brother Chen, Luo Zhen is here."

"it is good."

Chen Hao looked at Luo Zhen and asked, "How's the situation on your end?"

"Things went very smoothly."

Luo Zhen laughed and said, "Now, I have control over everyone in Tianyi International."

"good."

Chen Hao nodded in satisfaction.

Then he asked, "How is Han Jiang?"

"Him?" Luo Zhen hesitated upon hearing this, but remembering that the person before him had also killed, he confessed everything: "By me..."

Luo Zhen made a gesture on his neck.

"Oh, you actually dared to kill someone?" Chen Hao looked at Luo Zhen with some surprise.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Luo Zhen's eyes revealed a hint of hatred.

"If I had the chance, I would have killed him long ago."

It turns out that Han Jiang's girlfriend, whom Luo Zhen stole, was Luo Zhen's childhood sweetheart, and the two were about to get married.

But Han Jiang is a married man, so he was just playing around, mainly to humiliate Han Jiang and make him leave Tianyi International.

Luo Zhen is capable and highly educated, and has already begun to threaten Han Jiang's position.

But Luo Zhen did not grant him his wish. Instead, he turned his grief and anger into strength, signed a big deal, and gained more attention from his superiors.

Han Jiang was furious and immediately abandoned the woman he had just won over, since she was no longer of any value to him.

After being dumped by Han Jiang, Luo Zhen's ex-girlfriend realized how good Luo Zhen was and wanted to get back together, but Luo Zhen directly rejected her.

He had already seen through this woman's true nature: she was vain and fickle.

He was somewhat relieved that he hadn't married that kind of woman.

But his hatred for Han Jiang will not diminish as a result.

No man would tolerate being cuckolded, except for cuckolded slaves.

He constantly thinks about getting revenge.

He had already found an opportunity, but a time travel caused him to lose that opportunity, but it gave him a better opportunity and a more satisfying way to take revenge.

"Okay, very good."

Chen Hao clapped his hands in satisfaction: "You did a great job, you solved the hidden danger directly."

"I've already had something prepared for you as promised. You can just go with Ma Tao to collect it later."

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Upon hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Luo Zhen's face.

These things will help him solidify his position within the Tianyi International team.

"By the way, have you chosen a new address yet?"

"We've chosen the seventh floor. There's enough space there to accommodate all of us, and it's convenient to go downstairs too."

"Okay, I understand."

Chen Hao nodded.

Speaking of the seventh floor, he even spent some time there and used enhancement cards to strengthen his body.

It can be considered a coincidence.

Soon, Luo Zhen led the people from Tianyi International to begin moving down the slope, while Chen Hao's team went to watch the excitement.

Since they couldn't go out on a rainy day, they were bored and could only watch the excitement.

Just then, Shen Mo, who lived on the second floor, came to Chen Hao, panting heavily.

"Mr. Chen, something terrible has happened."

"What happened?"

Chen Hao frowned as he looked at Shen Mo, who was panting heavily.

"The first floor was flooded, and a group of snakes rushed in. They climbed the stairs and invaded the second floor."

"There's another type of large lizard that's also come upstairs. It's very aggressive, has tough skin, and is very difficult to kill."

"My people are trapped on the second floor. I've come to you for help."

"Please, you must help us."

Shen Mo's pleading voice involuntarily carried a hint of a sob.
