Wang Jianxin didn't know how fast the news spread, but Wang Jianxin received a call from Zhang, the head of the border defense regiment.

The call was made to the student affairs office. Director Chen answered it, said a few words, handed the phone to Wang Jianxin, and said with a smile: "Your team leader."

Wang Jianxin took the phone, and the familiar voice of Captain Zhang came over there. The voice was so loud that he could hear it through the phone."Xiao Wang, great job! I saw you in the newspaper. Your severed finger was replanted. It's amazing! We have a talent like you in our team. I feel so proud!"

Wang Jianxin held the microphone and said warmly: "Chief, you have thanked me."

"What award? I told the truth." Captain Zhang laughed loudly on the other end of the phone, "Study hard, and come back to treat the people in our group after you have learned it. Okay, let's not talk anymore, study hard there, and don't embarrass our group."

The phone was hung up.Wang Jianxin put down the microphone with a smile on his face.

That evening was the delivery time agreed upon by Wang Jianxin and the black market boss.

At night, after everyone fell asleep, Wang Jianxin clicked on their sleep acupoints as usual.Then he entered the space first, and Da Mao and the other five gathered around him, wagging their tails. He touched Da Mao's head, and poured a basin of milk for the little fox.Then he milked the cows - the cows grew fat and strong in the space, and squeezed out a lot of milk every day. He made some dairy products yesterday and saved them.After finishing my work, I changed into a pair of inconspicuous old clothes, gray and gray, and covered my face, leaving only my eyes exposed.

Using spatial teleportation, he came directly to the door of the second-entry courtyard in the black market.

The night breeze was chilly, and the alley was dark with no street lights.He knocked on the door.

The door opened a crack, and a bare head popped out, with a sinewy face and narrowed eyes.He looked Wang Jianxin up and down, and when he was about to ask a question, Wang Jianxin spoke first: "I made an appointment with your boss, and I will come to pick up the goods today." As he spoke, he patted the canvas bag on his chest, and the sound of gold bars colliding came from inside - jingling, crisp and sweet.

The bald man opened the door a little wider, poked his head out and looked around. There was no one in the alley.He turned sideways to let Wang Jianxin in and closed the door.

After Wang Jianxin came in, he walked straight to the second courtyard, scanning with his spiritual consciousness along the way - there were five people in the front yard, some were drinking in the house, and some were smoking at the door. They were all big-bodied and round-waisted men.There are still three people in their boss's room in the backyard, just like last time.

He came to the door of the main room in the backyard. The door was open and the light came from inside.Wang Jianxin walked directly in and asked, "Have you gathered the Chinese medicine seeds I want?"

The boss was sitting behind the Eight Immortals table, drinking tea.He was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting Wang Jianxin to arrive so punctually, then he put on a smile and said: "You are here, little brother, please sit down."

Wang Jianxin walked to the opposite side of the Eight Immortals table and sat down on the chair.

The middle-aged man who settled the accounts last time was sitting next to him, holding a ledger and an abacus in his hands.He pushed up his glasses and spoke: "Little brother, there are eighty-six kinds of seeds in total. Each kind is at least one kilogram, and more than two kilograms. Can you eat them all? These things cost a lot of money."

Wang Jianxin said nothing and nodded.

The middle-aged man opened the account book and began to read.

"Forty-two kinds of isatis root, angelica root, achyranthes root, perilla, mint, etc., two kilograms each. The seeds cost two yuan per kilogram, a total of one hundred and sixty-eight yuan."

The price is ten times more expensive than state-owned stores.Wang Jianxin remained silent and nodded.

"Skullcap, Bupleurum, Fangfeng, Platycodon, Salvia miltiorrhiza and other twenty-eight kinds, each is two pounds each, twelve yuan per pound, a total of six hundred and seventy-two yuan."

Wang Jianxin calculated it in his mind and found that it was fifteen times more expensive than the state-owned store.He still said nothing and nodded again.

"Sixteen kinds of ephedra, licorice, ginseng seeds, coptis, Polygala, Eucommia ulmoides, etc." The middle-aged man paused, raised his head and glanced at Wang Jianxin, "You should also know that this is strictly prohibited from sale. One kilogram of each seed costs 60 yuan per kilogram, totaling 960 yuan."

This price increase is quite severe.You can’t buy it outside, but they have a way to get it, but it’s not up to them to decide how much it will cost?After all, it is almost two hundred times more expensive than the normal price.

The middle-aged man picked up the abacus on the table, made a few clicks, and then raised his head: "The total is 1,800 yuan. The gold bars you had last time were with us, but they were not worth 700 or 800 yuan. I will give you 400 yuan a bar at most."

Well, it's not just black.

Wang Jianxin has always wanted to do something black and take advantage of others. Instead of taking advantage of others, he should clean up all these people and take away all their belongings without spending a penny.But it’s a normal transaction, so you can’t eat it directly, right?There must be a reason for everything.If someone helped you get the seeds, and you killed them and robbed the things, wouldn't that make you a bandit?

He thought for a moment and said, "Give me back the gold bar from last time. I'll give you the cash. I also brought the cash."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Wang Jianxin's answer.He looked at the vicious man next to him, and then at the boss.

The vicious man sat next to Wang Jianxin and remained silent while spinning two walnuts in his hand, making a clicking sound.When he heard Wang Jianxin's words, he slammed the table so hard that the walnuts almost flew out.
