Starting from the office buildings we kept passing through

Chapter 45 In Chen Hao's Name

"Brother Chen, all the water in the water truck has been transported upstairs."

Ma Tao reported to Chen Hao.

"Then, I consumed 120 pounds of meat and exchanged it for 20 white cards."

Ma Tao took out a stack of white cards and handed them to Chen Hao.

Chen Hao took it and read it once.

There are three types of cards: meat card, iron card, and coal card.

Among them, meat cards are the most numerous, with 12, followed by iron cards with 5, and the remaining 3 are coal cards.

Adding to the white cards Chen Hao already had, he now has 18 white meat cards and 12 white iron cards.

But Iron Card Chen Hao is useful; he needs iron to produce weapons.

Iron cards cannot be converted, they can only be synthesized.

Soon, 12 one-star white iron cards were combined into 4 one-star blue cards.

With the four blue iron cards that Chen Hao already possesses, there are a total of eight blue iron cards. He only needs one more to synthesize another gold iron card.

Next, Chen Hao used 10 white meat cards to perform the conversion.

This time, a purple card was generated.

[One-Star Map Card (Purple): Upon use, you will obtain a map centered on yourself, covering a radius of ten miles. The map will display the terrain within this ten-mile radius and the gathering points of wild animals that inhabit it.]

It's a card I've never seen before.

When Chen Hao saw the effect of the card, his eyes lit up.

"Perhaps, we can use this map card to find those boss-level creatures."

"use."

Without hesitation, Chen Hao took out the map card and used it immediately.

Instantly, the map card transformed into a ball of purple light particles and released an invisible ripple that swept across a ten-mile radius centered on Chen Hao.

Then the ripple returned.

The entire process was extremely fast, taking less than a ten-thousandth of a blink of an eye.

When the ripples returned, they merged into those purple light particles.

These purple light particles immediately changed, quickly transforming into a map.

The map ended up in Chen Hao's hands.

This is a circular map, with Chen Hao's location at the center.

On the map, this is a human settlement.

In addition to human settlements, the map also shows settlements of more than a dozen other species, with the names and numbers of each species marked around them.

The smallest population of any of these creatures was found in a single habitat, with only nine individuals.

But Chen Hao didn't dare to underestimate them at all; in fact, he thought they were among the strongest of the dozen or so settlements.

It turned out that they were a herd of forest elephants.

The distance to the building where Chen Hao was located was a good eight miles.

"There might be a leader among these forest elephants."

Chen Hao couldn't help but speculate.

But he has no intention of provoking these forest elephants for the time being.

Firstly, because that place was too far from Chen Hao's place, and secondly, because there were other options available for him to choose from.

For example, the wolf pack that was only three miles away from Chen Hao.

This is a pack of 58 gray wolves, and there must be a alpha wolf among them.

Five miles away from Chen Hao, there is a gathering place for eighteen One-Eyed Forest Monsters.

These humanoid creatures are quite powerful.

Chen Hao had killed one before, who was rated as a one-star elite.

If this group of "One-Eyed Forest Monsters" has a leader, it is most likely a leader-level creature.

Besides these two areas where leader-level creatures are more likely to appear, there are also forest lion areas, crocodile areas, and black-scaled anaconda areas.

In any of these creatures' gathering places, there is a very high probability that a leader-level creature will appear.

Chen Hao focused his gaze on the map, marking the location of the wolf's head.

"Let's go check out the gathering place of the gray wolves in the forest first."

Then he called Zhao Long over.

"I'm going out by myself, you all get some rest."

"Okay, Brother Chen."

Zhao Long nodded quickly.

"By the way, what time is it now?"

"It's almost one o'clock."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Meiya approached Chen Hao again.

"Mr. Chen, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"you say."

"Here's the thing, could I recruit some people in your name?"

Jiang Meiya looked at Chen Hao hesitantly.

"In my name?"

Chen Hao stared at Jiang Meiya and asked, "Why?"

"Because you, Mr. Chen, have the greatest reputation, and that makes you the most feared person."

"I'm a woman, and most of my subordinates are women. If I hire someone, I might not be able to control them, and it could very well be like inviting a wolf into the house."

"But if we can use your name, Mr. Chen, that would be different."

"If he has any ulterior motives, he'll have to take you, a formidable figure with a notorious reputation, into consideration."

"Even if there are some greenhorns who don't understand how capable you are, Mr. Chen, there are only one or two of them. With my methods, dealing with them is still a piece of cake."

Jiang Meiya answered sincerely.

She is a smart woman; she knows what to say to whom.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao couldn't help but take a closer look at Jiang Meiya.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Jiang Meiya noticed that Chen Hao was staring at her, so she touched her face.

"President Jiang, I admire you. No wonder you're capable of running such a large company. You truly have an extraordinary mind."

"Sure, you can use my name to recruit people."

"Really?" Jiang Meiya's eyes lit up, her face beaming with joy.

"However," Chen Hao continued, "I have two conditions."

"Mr. Chen, please speak."

"First, I need you to submit ten white cards to me every day."

"Secondly, if I take a liking to someone you recruited, you cannot stop me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Meiya quickly thought for a moment and then began to bargain.

"Mr. Chen, aren't ten cards too many? As you know, you can only get cards by hunting certain wild animals, and even then, it's not always possible."

"Is five tickets okay?"

"Ten copies only, not one less."

Chen Hao shook his head.

Jiang Meiya still wanted to try, but seeing Chen Hao's displeased expression, she opened her mouth but could only helplessly shut up.

"All right."

As for the second condition, there's not much to say.

If Chen Hao sets his sights on someone, unless the person doesn't want to join Chen Hao's team, even if Jiang Meiya had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to stop him.

"That's more like it."

"Ten blank cards are all you need. Just kill a few animals, and you'll have them!"

Chen Hao immediately put on a smile.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Chen Hao extended his right hand.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Jiang Meiya quickly adjusted her mindset and smiled as she grasped Chen Hao's right hand.

"Since you're planning to recruit people under my name, you're practically one of us in a way."

I'll open up an exchange channel for you.

"You can exchange any five white cards for a weapon, including knives, guns, swords, clubs, and axes."

"If it's a longbow, it requires eight white cards and comes with five arrows."

Chen Hao said.

These words immediately made Jiang Meiya's eyes light up.

"Mr. Chen, you're so kind."

Jiang Meiya said excitedly.

Afterwards, Chen Hao called Ma Tao over and told him about the matter.

"From now on, this matter will be your responsibility. You will be in charge of liaising with General Manager Jiang, understand?"

"Understood."

Ma Tao nodded quickly.

"Alright, I should go now."

This time, with nothing else to hold him back, Chen Hao ventured into the jungle alone for the first time.

He didn't bring his men, nor did he bring Xiaotian, that dog.

He only brought a knife, a bow, and a quiver of arrows.

"I hope I can successfully change jobs today."

Chen Hao thought to himself with such anticipation.
