Chapter 1243: Tricking Killua
Chapter 1243: Tricking Killua
Ever since Su Bai taught Ma Manman the method of making medicine for injuries, the medicines in Qingzhu Village have undergone a great revolution. Although the current medicines are still quite different from those made by Su Bai himself, they are already at the level of panaceas.
With Su Bai's physique, he would have almost recovered in half a day's recuperation.
However, to be on the safe side, Ma Manman, Bai Luo, the Lord of Xinghe City and others unanimously requested that he be hospitalized for two days of observation before making any further decisions.
But Su Bai was a restless person. He stayed up late at night and traveled through mountains and rivers to have a "tryst" with a pink-haired man.
"I'm afraid that if I come a step later, I won't be able to get a share of the pie." Su Bai looked at the pink-haired man in front of him and said meaningfully.
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about, Mr. Su? What good treasures can there be in this remote place?"
Killua waved his hands. Although he looked calm on the surface, his eyes were obviously evasive.
The next moment, the pink-haired man slapped his thigh, with an exaggerated look on his face as if he suddenly remembered something, and changed the subject: "I almost forgot, if I were to talk about treasures, there really is one..."
As he spoke, the pink-haired man took out a backpack from somewhere.
"Is this the backpack you dropped, Mr. Su? What a coincidence! I was also trapped in the cave and happened to find this backpack. Mr. Su's package was new in style and I recognized it at the first sight... Let me tell you, I suffered a lot in order to deliver the Thunderbolt Ball to you..."
While muttering to himself, Killua respectfully handed the backpack to Su Bai.
Su Bai took it and found that it was indeed the backpack he had lost in the Black Mine Mountains.
"Everything is in there. Mr. Su can check it. I didn't move a thing."
"Thank you, Mr. Killua."
Su Bai didn't do any inspection. There was nothing rare in it anyway, just a few bottles of medicine and some elf food. It was a backpack that had just been expanded, and he hadn't had time to put things in it yet. To others, the backpack itself was a treasure, but to Killua, the merchant who expanded the space, it was really nothing special.
So he simply ignored the backpack issue and said, "For now, let's continue talking about dividing the spoils."
"Mr. Su is here again, saying there is nothing here..."
Killua seemed to be sweating profusely when he said this.
"No way, no way? Mr. Killua, you don't want to take all the huge black mine tunnel for yourself, do you?"
"What, what to keep all for yourself? It's really nothing, Mr. Su is annoying~"
Killua tried to play dumb and put up a final resistance, but soon he heard a scream of "KO!" from behind him.
Killua turned around and saw a coin-sized Pokémon that had appeared behind him at some point, and was now shouting excitedly.
Killua slapped his forehead, knowing that he could no longer hide this time, and simply gave up struggling.
Su Bai smiled slightly. He didn't even need to go around to look.
As Suo Cailing used a strange light trick, the surroundings suddenly reflected brilliant colorful colors.
Just as Su Bai guessed, there were indeed a large number of jade stones hidden in this black mine tunnel, and the quality was visibly high.
"After I went back, I asked the Lord of Xinghe City. The reason why the Black Mine Road is called this name is because this area has the highest mineral content in the surrounding area. Since the establishment of Qingzhu Village, we have wanted to send people here to explore many times, but we have never found a suitable opportunity."
"The most important thing is, when I came in earlier, I observed this place..."
When Su Bai's wave power was full before, it was almost like he had his own navigation icon system, and almost everything within a certain range could be seen.
Actually, it’s nothing, but when you think about the fact that Killua wants to clear out all the Floats here, you naturally think of his purpose.
Su Bai had thought that the other party was hiding some big conspiracy, but after eliminating them one by one, he found that none of them seemed to be the case.
A detective and his assistant once said that after eliminating the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth.
"Piao Piao Balls are ghost-like elves, and they are also balloon elves. They have all kinds of moisture in their bodies. If they stay in the mine for a long time, it may affect the quality of the jade. That's why you want to find a way to drive them away..."
"And now the mountain road has collapsed due to the spontaneous explosion of King Suifeng. Even if you can get in, there is a great risk of landslides. Qingzhu Village is unlikely to send anyone over in the short term. No one will come to compete with you, so you have plenty of time to slowly move the minerals you need."
Su Bai held his chin and analyzed calmly: "You seem to be extremely obsessed with jade. Although I don't know why, at least, from all the information I know so far, the most direct benefit of your planning of this series of things is this piece of mineral..."
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Now it's your turn, Mr. Killua, to express your opinion. Based on your response, I will consider whether to inform the Lord of Xinghe and others of your actions in full."
Killua looked incredulous: "No, no, Mr. Su, you can't do this. I have helped you a lot. I saved your money-seeking spirit, gave you a treasure, and even... I even notified the people of the celebration village to rescue you."
"Now that you mention it, Mr. Killua, you have indeed helped me a lot. Reporting you makes me feel guilty."
Su Bai said with a look of deep sorrow: "But let's put things in perspective."
"Regarding your kindness, I will personally repay you as much as possible, but this mineral is the property of Qingqing Village as a whole. I cannot ignore the interests of the village because of my personal kindness. So, Mr. Killua, I can only report the matter of you seeking the mineral veins in the Qingqing Village area to the Lord of Xinghe City and others truthfully. How they will view you at that time, whether they will ban you along with the nearby cities, that is their decision. We must distinguish between public and private affairs."
Killua was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Aren't you just crossing the river and destroying the bridge?"
Su Bai said in embarrassment: "Mr. Killua, you know that I work for the government. There are some things that have to be handled in a fair and impartial manner. I have already made it difficult to explain to you, and I cannot make the same mistake in front of the Lord of Xinghe City."
What a shameless person, what a hypocritical excuse...
Killua knew that he was doomed today, so he sighed and didn't bother to play the grandson with him anymore, and said directly: "Stop talking nonsense, what do you want?"
A smile appeared on Su Bai's lips. His goal was achieved.
……
The next day, Su Bai returned to Qingzhu Village with a backpack that had been newly expanded and had a space as large as a football field, and a large amount of minerals and gems stuffed into the backpack.
They said that they discovered it when they were fleeing, and they were afraid that the tunnel would collapse, so they worked with the elves to mine the ore overnight.
