"The hurricane is coming!"

"Fuck! We just had a blow this morning, here we go again!"

"I just hope I can get there as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to do business today!"

Passers-by on the street stopped and looked up at the distant sky with sad faces.

Perhaps because of the hurricane, there are no overly tall buildings on the island. Perhaps the highest building is the city wall, so if you look up, you can see everything at a glance.

In the distant sky, billowing dark clouds are coming towards us, golden thunder is flying through the dark clouds, and there are constant bursts of thunder.

Dark clouds soon spread over the island, and the sky and earth suddenly darkened. Along with them, there were gusts of cool wind, and the originally hot air quickly became cooler.

Not long after, big raindrops began to fall, and the sky and the earth became darker and darker.

Passers-by began to look for places to take shelter from the storm, and Wang Yang followed the crowd into a restaurant.

Perhaps due to years of experience, the store did not drive away customers. After confirming that no one would come in, it quickly closed the doors and windows.

Woohoo!

The wind was howling outside, and everyone in the house found a place to sit down. Some ordered some snacks and drank by themselves, while others sat together and chatted.

Wang Yang also ordered a pot of local specialty wine, then found a place to sit down and listened to the chatter of the people around him.

“I hope this year’s hurricane season will end soon, otherwise we will have to make ends meet again!”

An old man sitting at the same table as Wang Yang took a bite of boiled snail meat and sighed.

Because too many people came in, many tables were shared, and Wang Yang's table was no exception. He didn't take the other three people seriously.

In addition to the old man eating snail meat, there was also a middle-aged man with bronze skin and an old man with gray hair.

"If it weren't for the epidemics in previous years, it wouldn't be like this! Just wait! When the population recovers, business will naturally get better! If you want the hurricane season to pass as soon as possible, don't count on it!"

The middle-aged man with bronze skin pinched a piece of snail meat on the old man's plate and said as he ate it.

Judging from the looks of the two of them, they must know each other.

As for the gray-haired old man, he only drank tea with his head lowered and did not speak.

Wang Yang pushed the plates of food and drinks he ordered towards the two of them, and then asked: "May I ask if you two are locals from Nanhai?"

"Although I am not a native of the area, I have stayed here for more than thirty years. This is my distant cousin, and I have stayed here for ten years. Do you want to ask a question?"

The old man was not polite. When he saw Wang Yang pushing the dish over, he said something and started eating with the kuaizi.

"My little brother must have just come to Nanhai, right? If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I don't dare to say everything, but I know a lot."

The middle-aged man didn't eat Wang Yang's food immediately. He said something polite first, and looked a bit smoother than the old man.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to discuss some business with the South China Sea Alliance, but I heard that they are quite xenophobic. I don't know what the specific situation is, so I want to ask you two to find out, so I can have some confidence!"

"South China Sea Alliance?!"

The two looked at each other, their expressions somewhat unnatural.

"Little brother, it's not that we don't want to help you. The two of us are working at the bottom to make a living. I will know about a big force like the South China Sea Alliance! They don't care about things on weekdays. They will only come forward when there is a major crisis! As for the

The xenophobia you mentioned is probably the reason why the South China Sea Alliance doesn’t like doing business with outsiders!”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.

"So that's it, thank you for clarifying my doubts, brother!"

Then Wang Yang asked some innocuous questions, and the two of them did not hide anything and told Wang Yang truthfully.

What the two people said was basically similar to what he heard in Beihuang.

After about an hour or two, the hurricane outside weakened. The store owner opened the door and a group of people walked out with sighs.

The hurricane has passed, it is getting dark, and there is no business to be done today.

Wang Yang left the restaurant and rushed to Nanhai Trading Company.

When he arrived at the place, he saw that the door was still open and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to wait until tomorrow.

Stepping into the door, a clerk greeted him with a smile, no different from other businesses.

"Do you have any detailed open sea charts here? I would like to buy one. The more detailed the better, the price is not a problem."

A sea chart, no matter how expensive it is, only costs dozens of low-grade spiritual stones. For him now, he really doesn't care much.

"I need to ask the shopkeeper about this. Can the guest officer go to the back room and wait for a while?"

The guy gestured to Wang Yang.

"You still need to ask for instructions on a nautical chart? Is it so troublesome?"

Wang Yang was a little puzzled.

You have to ask for instructions when buying and selling only dozens of spiritual stones. This is not even as good as a roadside stall.

"I'm really sorry. This is the store's rule. There's nothing I can do about it."

The waiter said with a wry smile.

"Then go ahead! Go back quickly!"

Wang Yang didn't know what the secret was. Since the other party asked him to wait, he would just wait for a while. Anyway, he was not in a hurry.

It's just that Wang Yang didn't enter the small room the waiter mentioned. Instead, he wandered around the store and looked at the products displayed outside.

The waiter didn't force it. After seeing Wang Yang agree, he turned around and entered the back hall.

Not long after the guy entered, a spiritual thought shot out from inside, observing him over and over again for a long time.

Wang Yang was somewhat confident in his hiding ability, so he didn't pay much attention.

What's strange to him is that he just bought a sea map. As for asking a foundation-building stager to come out and observe?

Could it be that you want to see if I am a foreigner? If I am, you won’t sell it to me?

Wang Yang suddenly felt a little worried and regretted that he didn't hide it a little when he came.

If it doesn't work, then you can only ask another island.

There are densely packed islands in the South China Sea, and this is not the only trading house in the South China Sea Alliance. If you try a few times, you can always buy what you want.

Not long after the spiritual thought that came out from behind the lobby was withdrawn, the guy who had just entered walked out with a smile.

"This is the sea map that the guest requested. There are eighty low-grade spiritual stones in total. Would you like to pay now, or wait a while?"

"Well?"

The other party was actually willing to sell it to him, which made Wang Yang, who had been thinking about how to deal with it for a long time, feel a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Do you think the price is expensive? There is nothing you can do about it. Our firm has paid a huge price to collect this chart. Although it is more expensive than other firms, you will find after reading it that it is absolutely worth it.

value!"

The clerk is no different from other merchants. Mrs. Wang is just like selling melons, selling herself and boasting.

"Can't it be cheaper?"

Seeing that the other party had no problem, Wang Yang also began to ask for advice and negotiate.

He doesn't care about these spiritual stones, he just wants to behave in line with his identity. Compared to him, who is just an ordinary late-stage Qi practitioner, buying a sea chart for eighty spiritual stones is quite luxurious.

"Sir, this price is really not cheap..."

The two exchanged words for a while, and Wang Yang showed a look of pain. He escaped from the spiritual stone and bought the drawings. After paying for the spiritual stone, he didn't stop and left the lobby of the business directly.

In the back hall of Nanhai Commercial Bank, several Jijis were sitting together to discuss matters.

"Is your cultivation determined?"

"The third level of foundation building! The level of the technique is very high, and the initial strength is estimated to be below the sixth level of foundation building!"

"Three people who have completed foundation building, six who have completed foundation building, and ten who have completed foundation building, and ten who have completed foundation building, should be enough, right?"

"almost!"

"Then when will we do it?"

"Let's go at night! In case there is too much noise, someone is already paying attention to us outside!"

"I'm going to inform you now!"

"Don't lose me!"
