Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

Five Families City is essentially just a gathering place for five families and the refugees they've taken in.

Their biggest advantage is their geographical location—the distance to various forces is just right, and the roads aren't difficult to travel.

Moreover, the five families are known for their adherence to rules, which is why people are willing to trade here.

However, this isn't unique; a nearby force also has a similar geographical advantage.

They've also been trying to organize a trade fair or auction to make their camp another trading post.

Unfortunately, Five Families City has been doing well, so they haven't had a chance.

But it's foreseeable that if Five Families City marries into the notorious Black Mountain Camp, surrounding forces will abandon them.

When that happens, the other camp's opportunity will come.

Furthermore, the Black Mountain Camp and Five Families City have a feud.

Originally, the five families had to unite to contend with the Black Mountain Camp.

Once even one family is infiltrated, their strength will weaken considerably with each interaction.

The other four families certainly don't want that, and the Huang family doesn't want to be subordinate to the Black Mountain King through marriage either.

Whether to be a king in the city or a dog for the Black Mountain King, anyone would know how to choose.

Qian Sanduo looked at Tang Wen.

Disrupting the martial arts tournament to find a spouse would require Tang Wen's help.

He said, "Blackfang is very powerful. If I suddenly intervene and lose, my life will be in danger. If I win, I'll offend him and the Black Mountain Camp to the death!"

Except for Zheng Nanzhu, who was a little annoyed, everyone else understood that it was time to negotiate the price.

The Zheng family's young lady felt that Tang Wen was either too arrogant to even look at her, or he wasn't a man!

The Zheng family head chuckled, "Is the Flame Camp afraid of this?"

Tang Wen gently shook his head: I would never work for free, let alone take risks.

But risks are negotiable.

At worst, I'll go into seclusion in the royal palace after returning.

The food in the royal palace is top-notch!

The Zheng family head became interested: "Then let's follow the rules of the martial arts tournament. If you beat Black Mountain Ghost, I'll marry Zhu'er to you! As for your wife, she can also come to the Zheng family. We can even give you a 'Marrow Protecting Elixir'."

"Father?" Zheng Nanzhu was about to say something but was stopped by the Zheng family head's gaze.

Is there really a Marrow Protecting Elixir?

Although Tang Wen didn't need it, he still wanted it!

A Marrow Protecting Elixir could likely help a martial master with good talent become extraordinary.

Having the Marrow Protecting Elixir also meant that the Zheng family wouldn't decline in the next fifty years.

Tang Wen shook his head firmly: "Thank you for your kindness, Head Zheng, but there's no need to mention this."

"Is your wife better than my daughter?"

"Father!"

Zheng Nanzhu said with dissatisfaction, how could a woman from a village compare to her.

Tang Wen glanced at her indifferently and smiled slightly: "My wife is naturally stunning."

Although the others couldn't see his smile, the confidence in his eyes undoubtedly said it all.

"Stunning? I'd really like to see her. People come and go in our Five Families City, but I've never seen anyone more beautiful than Sister Zheng."

The affected voice rang out again, implying that the stunning woman was definitely not as beautiful as Zheng Nanzhu.

Zheng Nanzhu glanced at her. Although she knew she was stirring up trouble, no woman would be happy to have her appearance belittled.

She said sarcastically: "Indeed, I'd like to see her!"

Tang Wen ignored her.

The atmosphere became awkward.

The Wang family head took over the conversation: "Ahem! I heard that Commander Qian came here for the waterwheel blueprints? If Commander Tang Wen can defeat Blackfang, we'll give you the blueprints for free."

"And craftsmen."

"We'll also send ten craftsmen to work for you for a year."

"What if it doesn't work out?"

"If it doesn't work out, we'll give you the waterwheel blueprints at half price, and you'll have to pay for the craftsmen's food and wages."

"That's acceptable," Qian Sanduo was, after all, a merchant caravan leader, essentially a businessman.

Seeing the other party agree so readily, he naturally wanted to raise the price. Tang Wen couldn't buy it so cheaply:

"But it will be difficult for us to report back."

The Zheng family head stroked his beard: "Isn't this easy to report?"

Tang Wen didn't follow his train of thought and was puzzled, but his expression remained calm.

He only heard Qian Sanduo wave his hand and say: "Everyone, you don't know, Commander Tang Wen's wife is not only unparalleled in beauty, but her status in our camp is no less than Miss Zheng's in Five Families City."

"Hehe, as far as we know, Her Majesty the Flame Queen doesn't seem to have a daughter, does she?" The Zheng family head said unhappily.

Tang Wen understood and cooperated: "My wife is the Queen's niece and General Zhou's niece."

Huh?

The two family heads frowned.

They knew General Zhou, a veteran extraordinary.

His niece, the Queen's niece, with the Queen having no children.

Hiss!

Her status was more than just not inferior to Zheng Nanzhu; it was obviously several levels higher!

General Zhou was on par with the Zheng family head.

Moreover, there was the even more powerful Queen as her background.

"Really?"

Qian Sanduo抢着说道: "It's absolutely true! It's just that they haven't become extraordinary yet and are now focusing on practicing, so they haven't announced it."

The Flame Camp was remote and always acted discreetly.

It was normal for Five Families City not to know.

"After it's done, I can personally explain to your wife." Zheng Nanzhu was skeptical. Was there really such a person?

Her beautiful eyes stared at Tang Wen, trying to see through the black scarf on his face.

Tang Wen said: "Then why not delay it for a few days? I'll send someone to inform her first, and then I'll disrupt the marriage proposal."

"So Commander Tang is afraid of his wife!" Zheng Nanzhu raised her head, her tone containing a hint of disdain.

This girl still wants to provoke me.

Tang Wen shook his head inwardly: What afraid of my wife, your understanding is not good!

What I mean is clearly – I have to add money!

Fortunately, the two people in the main seat are clear people.

"If it's delayed for a long time, it will cause gossip, and the Black Mountain Camp will also cause trouble, so it's better to make a quick decision. Commander Tang, feel free to mention any conditions."

Tang Wen was waiting for this sentence, and immediately did not be polite: "I usually like to practice martial arts, and I have long heard that the Wang family's hard work is unparalleled in the world! I wonder if I can..."

"No!"

The affected girl jumped out. She was from the Wang family and naturally didn't want to make such a big sacrifice for her plastic sister, Zheng Nanzhu.

The Wang family head's pupils shrunk slightly: "Young man, don't be too greedy!"

"I really want to, so I'll only look at it for seven days."

The Wang family head laughed angrily.

Tang Wen stretched out his hand and spread his five fingers: "I have always admired Elder Wang, I'll take a step back, five days!"

The Wang family head grinded his teeth.

Tang Wen nodded: "Understood! Then change the condition, Elder Zheng just said that the family has a Marrow Protecting Elixir?"

"Do you think this is worth a bottle of Marrow Protecting Elixir?" The Zheng family head sneered.

"Demand exorbitant prices!" Zheng Nanzhu gritted her teeth, Tang Wen was not afraid of his wife, he wanted benefits.

Hypocritical!

Tang Wen waved his hand gently: "Of course it's not worth it. What I mean is, can you reveal the source of the Marrow Protecting Elixir? Just give me a message."

Qian Sanduo's eyes lit up: "Ah, yes, yes, yes. Consider our Flame Camp, we owe the two of you a favor!"

The Flame Camp has a good reputation, and favors are still very valuable.

The Zheng family head哼道: "It was just a coincidence. Our Zheng family also got it by chance."

Tang Wen did not comment.

Qian Sanduo smiled, almost writing the word disbelief on his face.

The two did not speak again, and Commander Qian picked up the teacup and drank tea.

These two people are difficult to deal with.

The Zheng and Wang family heads muttered in their hearts.

Qian Sanduo accompanied them and said some nonsense.

Seeing that more than an hour had passed, Tang Wen was still not in a hurry.

The Wang family head finally said: "Half a day! The Golden Bell Cover visualization chart, you are allowed to learn for half a day!"

"Okay, then I want to learn from 6 pm to 6 am." Tang Wen immediately stood up, clasped his hands, and agreed in one breath.

He looked anxious, as if he was afraid that the other party would regret it.

What can you learn in half a day?

The Wang family head originally thought so.

But now, he hesitated.

Afternoon.

Martial arts arena.

Knowing that Tang Wen was also participating, Blackfang and Mr. Iron Fan looked at him with unkind expressions.

"Why is there one more?" Mr. Iron Fan sneered: "In the morning, Commander Tang didn't plan to play?"

Tang Wen nodded: "Now, I want to play."

"How do the three of us compare?" Blackfang's face was full of evil spirits.

"Simple, just draw lots." The Zheng family said.

In the territory of Five Families City, the two had no choice but to default.

"Okay, but I want to check it out."

"Please."

Blackfang and Mr. Iron Fan checked the lottery bucket back and forth several times, and everything was normal.

The two drew first.

Hold the drawn bamboo stick in your hand.

Tang Wen reached into the lottery tube for the third time. I don’t know how the Zheng family operated it, but a bamboo stick immediately jumped into his palm.

"Show the sign!"

The three shot at the same time.

Blackfang: Fight;

Mr. Iron Fan: Fight;

Tang Wen: Empty.

Two sharp eyes shot towards Tang Wen.

No one is a fool.

The major forces looked at Tang Wen with playful expressions.

And his eyes were calm and frank.

The Zheng family cheated, what does it have to do with me, Tang Wen?
