Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 28

Chapter 28, Corpse Starch

Henry really wants to buy it.

The alloy plastic steel material itself, as well as the single-soldier vest made from it, have already made him see huge profits. It’s true that

he is just a traveling merchant in his hometown, Garbage Town. But he has a further idea, he is pursuing the identity of an “agent”.

Garbage Town is a chaotic place, but it is also a holy place for doing business: rich resources and a large population.

There, if the business is big enough, the people under you are enough, and the force is strong enough, you can gain enough influence to become an “agent”. And in the chaotic political ecology of Garbage Town, it is the agents who have the final say. They each control a unique business, forming a monopoly, competing with each other and uniting with each other, and their power is huge.

Henry doesn’t have enough people under him, and his business is not big enough. But if he can really take over the alloy plastic steel business, then he will have a unique business. As long as the Feidong Society supports him and allows him to monopolize, he can quickly make a lot of profits.

The remaining problem is the problem of money, which is easy to solve.

The identity of an agent is already beckoning to him.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the governor behind Feidong Society, he would definitely turn around and leave now, and then find a way to gather a team to wipe out Feidong Society and firmly grasp the production capacity of alloy plastic steel in his own hands.

It’s a pity…

But it doesn’t matter, as long as he can get the exclusive agency rights for this business, that’s enough.

Henry said to Patel solemnly: “I want all your goods, and I will give you the best price. We can also sign a long-term cooperation agreement. Believe me, I can definitely help you sell these treasures to the entire wasteland world! We will become the best partners, as long as you sign an exclusive agreement with me.”

“Wait… wait a minute.”

“?”

Henry frowned tightly: “Do you have any other conditions? Just say it!”

Patel waved his hand quickly: “I don’t have any conditions, but this matter, my words don’t count!”

Without waiting for Henry to speak, he continued: “Everything here belongs to the great Governor, I dare not promise you anything casually. Without the Governor’s nod, not a piece of alloy plastic steel here can be sold.”

“Governor…” Henry calmed down and began to have a headache.

It may not be difficult to fool Patel, but fooling the Governor…

He has also heard some of the deeds of the Governor named ‘Gu Hang’. He is independent and did not take over the power of the Union Government after landing, but ran to the wilderness to build.

Can the entire Angry Owl Star be saved by construction?

Henry didn’t believe it.

Even under the rule of the governor, the Feidong Society has undergone earth-shaking changes in a short period of time. But such changes alone are still far from changing the ecology of the entire Angry Owl Star.

Two years later, Governor Gu will probably be solved by the imperial taxation like his predecessors.

But before that, he is the governor, the nominal supreme ruler of this planet.

How can a small merchant like me fool an imperial governor?

Seeing Henry’s entanglement and hesitation, Patel didn’t know what was going on in the heart of this “old friend”. He just grinned and smiled to comfort him: “The governor is a very good person. As long as you serve him sincerely, you will definitely get a generous reward.”

Patel seemed very honest when he said this. But why did Henry vaguely feel that there was another meaning behind him:

“If you are not sincere enough, you are finished.”

It should be an illusion. How could this Patel have so many thoughts?

Henry took a deep breath and said firmly: “I will go to see the Governor right now!”

…

The great Governor Gu Hang was studying a corpse at this moment.

Its shape barely resembled a living creature, with four limbs, and it seemed to walk semi-upright, a bit like a headless ape with abscesses all over its body and limbs that were completely out of proportion.

Its chest was particularly swollen. It was very fast and extremely ferocious, with claws on all four limbs. After hunting, it would tear the prey’s body into pieces, and then corrode and dissolve the prey fragments through the pus on its body, and then “dissolve” into its own body.

This thing, called “abscess monster” by the locals, is a common monster in the wasteland.

At that time, he was taking a nap in his house, and suddenly heard a noise outside. Then Zhang Chao reported to him that more than a dozen abscess monsters appeared on the expansion site outside the camp and attacked the workers.

Although the soldiers guarding the camp arrived quickly and annihilated the monsters, three workers were still killed.

Death and injury are of course very bad things.

But this is a wasteland.

Gu Hang did not pay attention to what had already happened and could not be changed.

He looked at the monster corpse in front of him and asked a soul-searching question:

“Can this thing be eaten?”

“Uh…”

Yan Fangxu didn’t understand what the governor was thinking, but he was shocked.

Gu Hang was a little dissatisfied with Lao Yan’s shock. He emphasized, “In the wasteland, the most important thing is food! Every day when I open my eyes, I have to think about how to feed thousands of people in the three camps. It is definitely not okay to sit on the mountain and eat everything. We have to find a way to explore all the sources of food. I think this kind of thing has great potential. It is said that there are a lot of them in the wasteland, and there are also zombie dogs and other things. If they can all be eaten…”

“Governor, please wait a moment…” Yan Fangxu said helplessly, “These monsters carry a lot of highly corrosive abscesses on their bodies. They don’t look like edible things, right?”

“How do you know if you don’t try?” Gu Hang was still very persistent, “Of course I don’t want our people to eat it directly. I heard that most hive planets have the technology to decompose all organic matter into food. They call that… corpse starch? Anyway, it’s starch blocks. I don’t know if there is this technology on the Angry Owl Star? Anyway, it must be on the Quintet, so we still have to try our best to get it.”

Yan Fangxu was even more helpless.

Brother, I’ve eaten starch blocks too!

That thing is essentially a food chemical product that can decompose recycled organic waste, including textile waste such as old clothes, waste wood, industrial organic waste, and even plant fibers, animal limbs, etc., into small molecules, which are refined and processed into synthetic starch blocks.

Although some hive planets with extremely poor resources and extremely high population density really recycle the bodies of the dead, and even recycle feces, so they are jokingly and blackly called “corpse starch”, but don’t say it out loud!

After all, in general, the composition of synthetic starch is still normal…

Those in small amounts…

Don’t say it out loud, we are still good friends.
