Scientific Travel

Deng Yinxin made the boat together with Li Pingle. Li Pingle was a skilled carpenter, fast and meticulous. He did everything by himself, from sanding to cutting the wood. Deng Yinxin was mainly responsible for the assembly.

Large ships are not suitable for sailing in the city, and Deng Yin did not intend to reveal his identity when selling goods.

With food in short supply, people are prioritizing having enough to eat. Deng Yin has decided to stop selling cakes and instead sell things that will stave off hunger.

The sooner the task is completed, the better. Food prices cannot be too low, so Deng Yin plans to sell vegetables.

The people of Shimu City had all heard about the upcoming natural disaster, and the people of Xiye City must have been the same. They should have sensed it as soon as it started raining and slaughtered all their livestock.

Now that everyone should have meat on hand, scarcity drives up prices, so the price of vegetables will naturally rise as well.

To prevent rainwater from getting into the boat, Li Pingle surrounded the boat with wooden planks, leaving only a place to watch the way and a place to row.

The oars were made by Wang Moyu. She had learned to row for a while in order to complete her mission, so she was very familiar with oars.

The boat wasn't big; it could only hold two people at most. Deng Yin brought Gou Dan along as well.

I don't know what the next mission will be. If I need a stranger, bringing him along will save me time.

Traveling by water is much faster than by land. There are no obstacles, so you can just keep going straight ahead.

The engine was powerful enough, and now that it was in a small boat, it was even faster. When they could see the city wall in the distance, Deng Yin removed the engine, and he and Gou Dan each took an oar and prepared to row over.

The people in the city should have all taken refuge in Xiye Tower. Deng Yin had been to Shimu Tower before. It was very large and nicely decorated. After all, most people who could come to Shimu City were from wealthy families.

However, not everyone can live there. Only those registered residents of Shimu City can live there for free; everyone else has to pay.

Shimu City has a large population, and even if buildings are built non-stop, there is still not enough room for so many people.

Moreover, those who are wealthy do not want to crowd together with so many people; instead, they build their own buildings.

One of the reasons Deng Yin didn't go to Shimu City to sell goods was this.

People live scattered around, so selling goods is definitely not that convenient.

.......

Only locals know the accommodation rules for each building. Deng Yin didn't know that accommodation was allocated based on wealth, so he just randomly chose a building.

The building was closest to her, and rowing was strenuous work; Deng Yin's arms started to ache after only a few strokes.

Lazy people have their own kind of luck; the building that Deng introduced happens to be the place with the most wealthy people.

That's also where Zou Guangyu is.

Before arriving, Deng Yin had anticipated that he might run into Zou Guangyu, so he disguised himself.

It's not that I'm afraid of her, but there's no need to clash with her. Deng Yin came with a mission, not to seek revenge.

Moreover, her reputation as a fairy spread from here, and many people know what she looks like. She can't very well go out and sell goods with that face on.

Deng Yin is also putting on an idol image.

Every window on every floor was open. Deng Yin climbed onto the window, but before he could even go inside, he saw a crowd of people gathered around him.

Those were guards hired by Qiu Qingyu to prevent anyone from sneaking in.

"Give me a hand, will you?" Deng Yin wasn't embarrassed at all, and stretched out her hand to signal someone to pull her.

Deng Yin spotted Wang Jiang in the crowd and called out by name, "Wang Jiang, come and help me up."

That kid's here too. Luckily she was disguised, otherwise she'd be exposed as soon as she arrived.

Wang Jiang was the first person to believe her identity, and they even had a business relationship, so they were somewhat acquainted.

Deng Yin's height hasn't changed much, but his appearance has changed drastically. His facial features have become very even, the kind of face that you wouldn't notice in a crowd.

His skin tone was also darkened, and his muscle mass increased dramatically.

Rong Zetiao's appearance is only for looking at, not for use.

Despite his large muscles, they were actually useless; Deng Yin's strength remained minimal.

Wang Jiang didn't recognize Deng Yin, but since the other party could say his name, they must know him. Wang Jiang took a few steps forward and pulled Deng Yin inside.

"Thanks." Deng Yin turned around to take the things Gou Dan handed over—three large sacks full of vegetables.

Not only Wang Jiang, but all the small groups in the city were hired by Zou Guangyu as bodyguards. The people by the window on the third floor of Building No. 2 West were all Wang Jiang's underlings.

Seeing that the eldest brother not only didn't say much to the person who had sneaked in, but even pulled her aside, everyone wondered what their relationship was.

Someone blurted out to Wang Jiang in a low voice, "Brother, who is this guy?"

"I don't know." Wang Jiang thought for a long time, but still couldn't remember who this person was.

Also, what does this person do? Did they move and bring so much stuff?

After pulling everything up, Deng Yin started pulling Gou Dan up next.

He was really heavy, and Deng Yin couldn't pull him up, so he called Wang Jiang to help pull him up.

Wang Jiang was still in a daze, but he was very obedient and followed Deng Yin to pull Gou Dan up.

After dragging Wang Jiang, he remembered to ask Deng Yin who he was: "Who are you?"

Deng Yin pulled Wang Jiang aside and said in a low voice, "My name is Deng Yi, and I work for Deng Yin."

Wang Jiang's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?!"

"Shh." Deng Yin gestured with his hand to his lips, indicating that he should keep his voice down. "This is a secret between heaven, earth, you, and me. We can't let anyone else know."

"Why?" Wang Jiang asked in a low voice.

"Because I'm here on a mission," Deng Yin said mysteriously to Wang Jiang. "It's a very important matter, and I'm only telling you. Remember, no one else can know."

After receiving Wang Jiang's assurance, Deng Yin continued, "I came here to capture evil spirits. More and more people are dying, and more and more evil spirits are being generated. Before I came here, the deity mentioned you to me, saying that if I needed anything, I could come to you. You are the most powerful underling she has ever taken in."

"Really?" With such a rugged face, yet now with starry eyes, Deng Yin suddenly felt a pain in his eyes.

"Of course it's true," Deng Yin said against his conscience. "Otherwise, how could I have recognized you at first glance? It's because a deity showed me your portrait."

Although Wang Jiang now wields some minor power, it pales in comparison to receiving praise from a deity. He immediately replied enthusiastically, "Don't worry, whatever it is, I'll definitely take care of it for you!"

After saying this, Wang Jiang realized he didn't know her age. "By the way, how old are you?"

"37."

"..."

Wang Jiang changed his tune, saying, "Don't worry, whatever it is, your brother will definitely take care of it for you!"
