    When the LS Group officially opened its shop on the Shrimp B1 Ind four days ago in ordance to Zhang Lisheng’s instructions, it had umted quite a reputation from the human gathering ce for selling fresh raw meat from Earth.


    Part of the rise of their reputation came from the foreign world’s habit of consuming big insects on a long-term basis on the ind. Other than those people born with some peculiarities, most of the people would have an uninhibitedly strong appetite when they saw the fresh, plump, bright, red textured steaks covered in snowy fat veins. Even if they wouldn’t buy it, they would still take a nce at it a few times.


    The other part of the reputation came from the fact that the meat products sold in the shop were of excellent quality and were very expensive. All the meat, regardless of whether it was pork,mb, or beef, was priced at around 150 USD per pound.


    The price sounded astounding. However, in the medieval-like human gathering ce on the foreign world’s ind, the price of the goods native to Earth was quite surprising. All these meats appearing in the shops the bigpanies integrated after the new year astounded the people inside the gathering. After all, it subjected them to the constraints of the cost it needed to transport these goods. It’s not cheap to have a warship escort only for Shrimp B1 Ind.


    In fact, despite the high price of these consumer goods, which were sold as ‘luxury goods’, thepanies were actually selling them at a deficit. So far, the development ofrgepanies and groups on the ind’s market was only carried out with the concept of ‘preemption’.


    It was precisely because of theck of consumer goods native to Earth on the ind that made Zhang Lisheng’s alluring promises to be even more tempting. This allowed the soldiers on the ind to transport his ‘experimental materials’ to the LS meat warehouse with tremendous speed.


    Actually, the so-called ‘meat warehouse’ was just an empty standalone concrete house that had cold storage installed. The warehouse itself had a hundred square meters of space within.


    If it was in New York, this ‘meat warehouse’ would be regarded as simple, but when it appeared on the Shrimp B1 Ind, it felt like a miracle instead.


    In fact, this was the miracle of money. Just the transportation cost of the cold storage alone cost over one million dors. Its cost was unimaginable.


    “This is a good ce to store supplies. It has a low temperature; not to mention, it’s clean, and it makes transportation easy.” After the forklifts sent the experimental materials to the expensive and cold storage of the LS Group, Zhang Lisheng watched his staff members who were busy while taking some raw meat out of the cold storage. He then spoke to a smiling middle-aged bald man standing by his side. “Mr. Tony, let me use this cold storage from now on. Inform Charlie to send another cold storage for the shop. Since there is a lot of emptynd in our gathering ce, you can choose another ce to build another warehouse.”


    “Yes, Mr. Zhang,” When the bald middle-aged man heard his big boss’ willfulmand, he replied without hesitation. The reason he got this position wherein a man like him had some personal contact with Zhang Lisheng was that he was a slick animal who had adapted to the ecology inside the workce.


    “Also, find a chef to barbecue and fry the meat we have taken out. Go buy some beers and fine cigars as well to entertain the soldiers who have delivered the goods tonight. Oh yeah, all of you are wee to join. ording to the number of working days since we arrived on the ind, it’s the weekend tomorrow. Everyone, you can rx and rest tomorrow morning.”


    The employees ofrgepanies working on the Shrimp B1 Ind had all signed high-paying contracts, but they abandoned the general vacation time in exchange. The same went for Lisheng’s employees as well. Therefore, for this reason, it could be said that having a break for a half a day here was a godsend.


    The middle-aged man immediately said with gratitude, “Understood, boss! You’re toopassionate! It’s my honor to work for LS!”


    Zhang Lisheng smiled nomittally and walked back to his bunker. He did not join the joyful barbecue partyter at night, only walking out of the bunker in the next morning.


    At this time, the sun had just scratched the dark and quiet sea while gradually rising to the sky. The cold night wind had not yet dispersed, although there were already many pedestrians getting busy across the streets of the gathering ce. That did not include the LS Group employees who had drunk till they became incredibly intoxicatedst night.


    After finding his second-hand pickup truck in the parking lot that he had just bought on the ind two days ago, Zhang Lisheng drove alone into the meat warehouse he had upied. He opened the cold storage’s iron gate, and in an instant, the special small container with a height of less than two meters appeared in front of him.


    Clenching his fists excitedly, Zhang Lisheng unscrewed the container with his fingers like steel pliers. When he saw the rows and rows of neatly arranged ck metal boxes with the name of the drugbeled outside, a satisfactory smile crept upon his face.


    After that, he moved the heavy boxes out of the container, one after another. After picking out a few boxes, he opened them. The contents were in sailboat cloths and fishingspressed and stacked inside.


    Looking at the “TUI fiber solid-state finished product” written on the boxbel, a pleasant smile appeared on the corner of the young man’s lips as he muttered to himself, “Actually, I’m not lying, to be honest. It’s just that these soldiers werecking in the knowledge ofmon chemical terminologies...”


    He re-locked the metal boxes and carried them to the back of his truck. After covering them with a tarpaulin sheet, he drove out of the warehouse and headed towards the city entrance of the gathering ce.


    After the dismissal of the unlucky General Rowling because of the sudden attack of the spiritual monsters, the newly appointed US chiefmander on the Shrimp B1 Ind had taken an opposite form of management for the garrison and civilian forces of the gathering ce.


    The control of the garrison had be strict. Other than the personnel on duty, the soldiers on their off days could not wear military uniforms on the gathering ce’s streets. As for the small instances of trading that happened with the nativesst time; heck, that was even worse since that waspletely scrapped. It caused the army to enter the role of being just a ‘defender’. As for the civilians, he had adopted a more open-minded andissez-faire form of management. As long as it did not infringe on the interests of others, it was one’s freedom to do whatever one wanted.


    From a long-term perspective, such a management model was the right way to make the Shrimp B1 Ind gradually self-sustaining so the civilians’ forces could pioneer the extension of human forces on the ind.


    From a short-term perspective, it allowed Zhang Lisheng to drive the dusty pickup truck carrying a full vehicle of supplies with no one stopping him as he left the gathering ce openly.


    There were also a few other cars that passed through the city entrance. They were all off-road cars or minivans that could trek over mountains as though they were coursing on nds.


    The price of the cars on Shrimp B1 Ind differedpletely from New York. Upon seeing Zhang Lisheng drive the old pickup truck he bought for 40,000 USD, somebody asked aloud, “Hey, young man! Nice car! Is it yours? Do you provide any rental services?”


    “I’m sorry, sir! I work for the TTK Group!” Turning his head to look at the ck-bearded burly man who was carrying a long gun while sitting on the back seat of a tattered convertible jeep, Zhang Lisheng shrugged and randomly came up with a reply.


    “Oh young man, you can never be a millionaire if you worked for those bigpanies. If you have the guts to stay on the ind and even drive by yourself, are you really willing to just survive on a paycheck for the rest of your life...” The ck-bearded man had an expression of pity on his face as he shouted towards the courageous yet young Asian man.


    However, Zhang Lisheng, who had already arrived at the edge of the jungle, just ignored him and waved his hand, before driving his car straight towards the outskirts of the ind.


    “The hell? Pete! Did you see that? T-That fellow drove straight into the jungle!” Seeing the pickup truck suddenly disappear in front of him, it stunned the ck-bearded man for a moment before shouting in a dumbstruck tone. “I thought I’ve met a courageous fellow and was about to call him to join in our group, but who knew that he was actually a stupid and bold person...”


    “Enough, Dave! Other than the few of us who are stupid and bold, nobody will fall for your pie in the sky! Hurry up and get ready! We’re going into the jungle as well!” When the young white man heard hispanion’s muttering, he mmed down on the horn on the steering wheel and shouted loudly. His dirty blond hair could almost cover the entirety of his face while driving the jeep.


    “I’m not drawing any pie in the sky when I analyze the terrain and soil structure! This ind has a huge gold mine! We’ll all be rich when we find it!” The ck-bearded man said with a serious expression. Then, he took out a bag of ck powder from under his feet. He then showed an intoxicated expression when he opened it before scattering it evenly on the car. “By that time, we can lie on big beds inside royal suites in Las Vegas while being surrounded by beautiful women, recalling the taste of the dried stools of the beasts in this foreign world!”


    “Oh, what the hell? Dave! You’re disgusting!” Hispanions showed a disgusted expression over his inappropriate metaphor and the disgusting smell emitted by the grey powder. At the same time, Zhang Lisheng, who had already entered the jungle, stopped his pickup truck under the fetters of the branches and vines.


    Amidst the faint and irregr hissing sounds in the vicinity, along with the horrifying wails that would reverberate from time to time, the young man jumped out of the car andmanded Ghostface to climb out of his pocket after looking around the dark and dull jungle and found no abnormal movements.


    The big spider moved along the wind andnded on the ground. It had already transformed into a giant beast almost three meters high and was the same size as seven extended SUVs.


    After dexterously taking out all the dark metal boxes on the back of the pickup truck and cing them on the spider, Zhang Lisheng undressed his clothes and threw them onto the wizard gu. Then hemanded it to produce a sticky and tough spiderweb from the pores on its back. After making sure everything had already been secured, he cast the Money Toad’s transformation energy and transformed to be a powerful giant with a height of over ten meters.


    Crouching on the ground, he stretched both of his arms out and grabbed the pickup truck before smashing it t like a biscuit. He squeezed it into an iron ball and buried it in the mud. Then, he endured the pain and transformed his body to be the nine-tailed lizard before turning invisible and leaping on Ghostface’s back.


    Aftermanding the wizard gu to trample around on the ground for a while to destroy the traces of the buried pickup truck, Zhang Lisheng sat on the metal boxes on the back of the wizard gu and muttered to himself smugly, “These are so perfect and smooth!”


    With a thought, hemanded Ghostface to open its ck big mouth and spit out a bunch of colorless spiderwebs that flew several dozens of meters away, which subsequently stuck onto a trunk of a big tree.


    Immediately after, the wizard gu retracted the spiderweb, and its body was suddenly flung up high in the air. Just like this, it drifted away through the air and gradually disappeared, vanishing in just a blink of an eye.
