Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

Their kind of family probably only has an income of about 10,000 yuan a year.

Yet now, by just entering the mountain, I could get 50,000 yuan. For me, this is simply a stroke of immense luck.

"That's right, I'll give you 50,000, and moreover, if our trip goes smoothly, maybe, I'll even add more later,"

"But..."

"There are no buts. I'm telling you, if you don't go, I can hire someone else. It's only because you have had rich experience in entering the mountains before, and also, seeing that you seem quite robust, that you can join us."

"What exactly are you guys going into the mountain for?"

"That, you don't need to worry yourself about. We naturally have our own plans. You just need to tell me whether or not you're going."

After saying this, the man indeed began to hesitate.

He slowly bowed his head.

Seeing this, in fact, Lin Yi inwardly chuckled.

This time, he didn't refuse him outright, which proved that he was struggling with a fierce inner conflict.

"I just looked over your family situation, it doesn't seem too good, and moreover, you have a son. There are big expenses ahead. If you help me this time, that money will be yours, and I believe it should be able to improve your family's situation."

"Besides, I see your wife doesn't have much of a job, and she probably just does farming or odd jobs here. This could also lighten her burden. What do you think? I feel this is all very worthwhile."

"You don't need to worry; I'm telling you, our gear is very modern, and totally safe."

Throughout his thought process, Lin Yi kept hinting at him from the side, his actual purpose being to persuade him to join him on the trip.

"How about this? I won't pressure you. There's still a lot of time before tomorrow. I'll wait in the yard while you think it over by yourself. I won't put that much pressure on you."

As he spoke, Lin Yi stood up, ready to leave with Hei Lang.

"Wait a minute."

He slowly turned his head, guessing that the man must have made a decision.

"Speak, what's your condition?"

"The 10,000 yuan deposit you're leaving now is too little. Plus, you must give me the payment in advance for me to go into the mountain with you."

"In advance?"

"Right, in advance."

"Heh, alright, I understand. I agree to give you the 50,000 yuan."

As he spoke, he took the rest of the cash from his bag, placing all several tens of thousands on the table.

"What time do we enter the mountain tomorrow?"

It seemed he had made up his mind completely.

After all, it was a risky job, but if he took this risk and succeeded, perhaps he couldn't save up 50,000 yuan even if he worked for several years.

"Tomorrow morning, as soon as it's light, we'll depart."

"As soon as it's light won't do; we have to be before daybreak."

"What do you mean?"

"The environment of Xi Lian Mountain is different from what you imagine. Moreover, around 6 or 7 in the morning, just as it starts to get light, a miasma will form, and in that fog, we won't be able to find our way out easily, so it's very easy to get lost inside."

"So, we're saying around 4 or even 5 AM?"

"4 AM is the best time. It won't take long from here to the base of the mountain, roughly 20 minutes."

"After 20 minutes, we can reach the base. Then what about entering the mountain?"

"After we enter, I know a trail up the mountain. We must make our way to that trail as quickly as possible. Additionally, between 4 and 5 in the morning, it's when the beasts are in their deepest sleep, so it's likely we won't encounter too many prey."

"Got it, I understand."

"One more thing I should remind you: the mountain environment is complex, and the temperature difference between day and night is quite large. Sometimes it rains when it says it will. So, including this aspect, you also need to prepare in advance, and tents are a must."

"Don't worry, everything is already prepared. You don't need to fret over these matters; anything else you want to advise on?"

"How many people are going?"

"We're three people in total."

"Three people, apart from you two, is there also that woman?"

After saying that, he suddenly thought of the day that woman came to see him, not just the sturdy man before him, but there was also a gentle and lovely woman by his side.

"Right, there's also a woman."

"No, taking a woman into the mountain is taboo, and they easily attract evil beings. We can't go like this."

"If we don't take her, the expedition has no meaning. And, I'm telling you, once inside the mountain, it's that woman who will carry out the work; none of the rest of us can do it."

"She has to go?"

"It's imperative she goes."

Seeing the firm stance at this moment, the hunter started to lose his resolve.

Since it was their request, and they offered him so much compensation, it seemed he truly had no reason to refuse.

"Alright then, if she has to go and also has a special task, I guess none of you can replace her, so we'd better be cautious."

"Another thing, how much time will it take to get deep into the mountains?"

"If all goes well, I estimate that we should be able to reach the deepest point before it gets dark tomorrow,"

"And if things don't go well?"

"That, it's hard to say. The environment and terrain in these mountains are very complex. I'm telling you, nothing is absolutely smooth. I guess it's going to take at least two or three days to get out."

After finishing, Lin Yi just nodded.

Then, he looked up at the hunting rifle hanging on the wall.

"Is that rifle yours?"

"Yes, it's mine. I used it for hunting in the past. It's been passed down to me from my ancestors. Don't be fooled by its rusty appearance; it's very reliable, certainly no problem for dealing with prey."

"You're bringing it tomorrow?"

"Of course, I'm bringing it. It's my lifeline, and I'll definitely keep it on hand. Plus, I'll bring enough ammunition."
