Chapter 302 Can you pray? (two in one)(1/2)
The count woke up quickly. What happened just now was a bit irritating to him. Now he really wanted to call his personal doctor immediately for a comprehensive physical examination.
This is not because of his poor mental quality. Anyone who is sprayed with blood and hears the words "tuberculosis" will probably not be able to let go.
But when the count thought of the mission he was tasked with, he could only grit his teeth and hold on. After changing his clothes, he came back to preside over the meeting.
As for the Japs who vomited blood, they were quickly sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but judging from the fact that he just vomited out his lungs and then vomited out his liver, it was probably a waste of time to send him to the hospital.
The 'Oriental Ship Exploration Company' still left one person here to attend the meeting. They didn't want to miss out on a big deal because of something.
After the count changed his clothes, he sat at the head seat at the front of the long oval table, and then reached down and pressed the button to signal everyone to sit down.
Huang Shaohong occupied the seat of the Asian Flying Eagle and did not get up. Jack Chen smiled at the former in a graceful manner, and then sat on the other side of the long oval table opposite him.
Laura and the group of people brought by the count all sat under Jackson, taking their seats one by one.
The earl cleared his throat and then said: "This time I have come to see you all to talk about something that is definitely a big deal for you treasure hunters, but first I have to explain something!"
"This business will not prepay funds in advance. All expenses need to be paid by the participating companies or individuals themselves..."
As soon as he was halfway through speaking, there was a commotion below, and many people were surprised.
Because in the profession of treasure hunter, opportunities come with risks, and if things go wrong, people may die. Therefore, if the employer does not advance the funds, they will not only lose everything, but also lose a lot of money.
The earl stretched out his hand to signal silence, and then continued: "If the task is completed, you will get a sky-high reward, but if it is not completed, haha, I'm sorry, not even a dollar!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone: "Now you think about it. If you can't accept it, you can leave!"
After the count finished speaking, many people began to whisper among themselves.
Wang Kaixuan approached Huang Shaohong across Hu Bayi and asked: "Brother Huang, why do I feel that this business is unreliable?"
Huang Shaohong waved his hand: "It's okay, as long as the mission is real, are we afraid that we won't be able to complete it with our strength?"
He did not lower his voice when he spoke, and then repeated it in English. Many people could hear it clearly. The count frowned and said: "You can rest assured about the authenticity of the mission, I can guarantee it with my credibility!"
Jack Chen nodded to the count: "You are joking. With your reputation, we will never doubt you!"
People from other treasure hunting companies also expressed their opinions. None of them chose to quit. They all recognized that this was a big deal and wanted to win this business.
The Earl nodded: "Okay, let's move on to the next task. This time the task is more important. We will choose the three most powerful treasure hunting companies or treasure hunters to participate, so everyone must want to win this order.
Business requires strength to speak for itself!"
He pointed at Laura and said: "This matter is presided over by Countess Lara Croft. I think Countess Lara Croft should be qualified to preside over her qualifications among you treasure hunters and adventurers."
This happened!"
Asian Flying Eagle nodded in agreement: "Laura is an explorer as famous as me. As a woman, this is rare!"
"Hey..." Laura glanced at Asian Flying Eagle dissatisfied: "Jack, your words are meant to demean women!"
Jack waved his hands: "Misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding, I don't mean to look down on women at all!"
Laura did not talk nonsense to Jack and turned to everyone: "The first thing is the issue of qualifications. I have already read the information of the companies or individuals here, but there is one thing I can't figure out!"
She suddenly turned to Huang Shaohong and others: "Your company seems to have just been established. It has no reputation in the world of treasure hunting or exploration. It can't even show a record of treasure hunting adventures. Why are you qualified to sit here?
?”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone else started laughing. Among them, Jaizi and Bangzi laughed the most, and they all made fun of Huang Shaohong and others for not overestimating their abilities.
However, there were also people who spoke for Huang Shaohong and others. A few Asans laughed and said:
"You can't say that. Past results don't mean anything. I feel that these treasure hunters from the Celestial Dynasty are still very capable. If they work hard and practice for more than ten years, they should soon catch up with our adventurers from the Three Kingdoms.
level!"
After Wang Kaixuan listened to Shirley Yang's translation, he slapped the table: "What did you say? You always smell of curry and hunt for treasures wherever you go. You don't even need to add condiments to the big rice dumplings."
Laura could understand Chinese and said quickly: "I'm not discriminating against your company, it's just that this task is very difficult. If you can't show me any qualifications that convince me, I'm sorry and you have to be eliminated!"
Huang Shaohong reached out to Hu Ba one by one, and the latter took the 'Touching Gold Talisman' from his neck and handed it to him.
Huang Shaohong stood up and walked around the conference hall holding the gold-touching talisman. Everyone's eyes were focused on the gold-touching talisman in his hand, wondering what he wanted to do.
The Earl was not optimistic about the Asian who had just teased him. Now he frowned impatiently and said, "Mr. Huang, what are you going to do?"
Huang Shaohong grinned: "I just want everyone to see this thing clearly. This thing is called the 'Gold Touching Talisman'. It represents an identity and a heritage. Everyone, Touch the Gold Talisman, please understand it. In addition, I am not targeting anyone. I am talking about treasure hunting."
, in terms of qualifications, everyone here is rubbish!"
After he finished speaking, he returned the gold-touching talisman to Hu Bayi, who hung it casually around his neck.
A young white man sitting on Laura's right had already found out the information about "Touching the Golden Colonel" from his laptop after Huang Shaohong finished speaking, and pushed the computer to Laura.
When others heard what Huang Shaohong said, they all stood up and protested angrily. Instead, Jack Chen's eyes moved and he said, "Are you talking about the gold-touching captain that Cao Cao set up during the Three Kingdoms period to make up for the lack of military pay?"
He said this in Chinese, so Hu Bayi and others could understand it. Wang Kaixuan smiled at Jack Chen and said, "You have some knowledge!"
Faced with the protests of others, Huang Shaohong was about to taunt and express his hatred. Laura had already quickly read the introduction about the "Golden Captain" and said:
"If you really want to be a gold captain, then I definitely recognize that you are qualified to join. Please forgive me for the offense just now!"
Huang Shaohong smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, I am a very personable person and I don't care about it like a silly girl!"
Laura seemed not to have heard what this guy said, and continued without changing her expression: "Since everyone here is qualified to participate, let's test it and determine the final candidate!"
She pointed to the window as she spoke: "In this manor of the count, I have hidden a hundred tennis balls. There are clues I left on these tennis balls. These clues point to the three ancient tombs outside the city.
....."
"In the ancient tomb, I left three Swiss Army knives respectively. The team or individual who can get one knife within three hours can proceed to the next test!"
"In other words, the more people collect tennis balls, the more clues they get, and the faster they will find the ancient tomb. Well, everyone can take action!"
As soon as Laura finished speaking, many treasure hunting adventurers rushed out. Only Huang Shaohong and the Asian Flying Eagle sat there without moving.
Laura raised her eyebrows and said to Huang Shaohong: "The game I set is not that simple. If you go late, you won't be able to get it!"
Jack Chen smiled at Huang Shaohong and asked, "Don't you look like someone who gives up easily?"
Huang Shaohong smoked a cigar and asked: "Then why don't you take action?"
Laura mentioned that the other party answered this question: "The Asian Flying Eagle was personally invited by the count to participate in this matter, so he does not need to accept the test of the game!"
Huang Shaohong turned to Hu Bayi and raised his chin: "Where are the three ancient tombs, is that okay?"
The latter smiled confidently and made an OK gesture: "No problem!"
He directly took out the compass, started making calculations, and murmured something: "Looking for dragons, you must look at the entangled mountain. One entanglement is one level of barrier. If there are thousands of locks on the door, there must be a prince living here. This is the method of asking the stars of the Long family."
A sudden drop of Xiaofu is an authentic relic, and a mountain is divided into a generation. It depends on which generation the dragon is born."
Both Earl and Laura looked at them curiously, not knowing what they were doing.
Jack Chen couldn't stop laughing: "Don't tell me that you guys are still using Feng Shui to make ends meet after touching Captain Jin. Please, we are in Morocco now. Can we also read Feng Shui in ancient tombs in foreign countries?"
Hu Bayi said nothing and looked at the compass intently. Wang Kaixuan laughed mockingly:
"I don't understand. I wonder if you have heard that the "Book of Mountains and Seas" written by our ancestors covers the entire world. The same is true for the Feng Shui technique passed down by our ancestors. As long as there are mountains, water, sun, moon and stars,
Wherever you go, Feng Shui can play a big role. If you don’t believe it, just take a look and it will be fine!”
Hu Bayi muttered for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, the three nearest ancient tombs that are related to our destiny have been locked!"
Huang Shaohong patted Hu Bayi: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
The group of people strolled out of the conference hall. Laura and the Earl looked at each other, and both asked Jack Chen: "What are they doing?"
Jack Chen couldn't explain the occult thing and could only shrug: "It is a very ancient Chinese 'divination'!"
"Divination?" The earl had never had a good impression of Huang Shaohong. When he heard such an unreliable answer, he couldn't help but taunted loudly: "Chinese people are so ignorant, their ideas are really shocking..."
As soon as he said it, he saw that Jack Chen's face was a little ugly. The count immediately reacted and quickly explained: "Jack, you know I'm not talking about you. Besides, you are from Hong Kong..."
Jack Chen interrupted: "No, Mr. Earl, I am from Hong Kong Island, China!"
"Okay, okay, I apologize for what I said, Jack, you know I didn't mean it!" After the Earl gentleman apologized for his words, he explained:
"I just think these people from the Celestial Dynasty are not good. They must be liars. Do they think they can complete their mission with such gypsy witch methods? If they can get a quota, I will..."
When he said this, he looked around, then pointed to the chair under him: "I will eat my chair!" After that, he stood up and left: "I'm sorry, everyone, I have to go for a physical examination first.
Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon!”
Laura and Jack Chen both stood up and watched the count walk out of the conference hall.
Two hours later, after a detailed physical examination and taking some medicine to prevent tuberculosis, the count returned to the conference hall.
He was surprised to see that Huang Shaohong and others had returned to their original positions, while other treasure hunting companies or individuals had not returned yet.
The earl laughed and said: "Why, have you given up?"
Laura looked strange. Jack Chen coughed lightly, pointed at the nine Swiss Army knives placed in front of Huang Shaohong, and then said with a smile: "My lord, I wish you a pleasant meal!"
After saying this, he glanced at the count's chair.
"God, how is this possible? How could you find the exact location without relying on any clues?" He was surprised for a long time, then turned to Jack Chen and smiled sheepishly:
"Jack, don't be so humorless, I was just joking before!"
Laura had already laughed, and Jack shrugged: "As long as you like it!" If they didn't say it, Huang Shaohong and others didn't know what happened.
Perhaps seeing the other party's strength, the Count's attitude towards Huang Shaohong and others immediately changed 180 degrees, and then enthusiastically asked the servant to serve red wine and his collection of cigars, and then asked:
To be continued...
