Zhang Kai and old man Shan finally came out of the room, he could finally see the guard's clothes. It was true, his clothes were similar to the ones he had imagined.

"Remember not to be tense" Old Man Shan reminded him, but instead he looked very tense and nervous.

There were dozens of other slaves, they were brought out of the room. Then on the stage, Zhang Kai stared at his potential buyers.

It turned out to be a young man and his father, there was also a guard at the back. Looking at the clothes, they must be rich people and could afford to buy many slaves at once.

By the looks of it, Zhang Kai believed it. They were people who still used their morals, not crazy people who tortured their subordinates. But a person's appearance does not necessarily, present his nature.

From the edge of the stage, someone climbed the stage. "Greetings honored guests, from the Bai family. You are lucky to come today, we have many new slaves who have great abilities" The host was very skillful in offering things.

The father and son pair listened carefully, while the host explained one by one. Until it stopped at Zhang Kai, "hey, what's your talent" asked the host, he had not gotten any data about Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai thought for a moment, "I can count" he said, hearing that everyone was surprised and stunned.

Calculation for many people in this world is very difficult, especially if the number is very large. So rarely, people are able to count, especially if they are slaves or poor people.

"You're lying, right?" said Bai Zan, the father of Bai lan, who was also surprised to hear it. Moreover, a slave who can count.

"I'm not kidding sir, you can test it" he said with a little arrogance, Bai lan was a little challenged to hear it.

"Alright, give me some ink" Guan's bodyguard gave him some ink, then Bai lan wrote something on his paper.

He gave the paper to her bodyguard, then Guan's bodyguard gave it to Zhang Kai. Zhang Kai smiled, looking at the content of he writing.

Bai lan grinned, thinking Zhang Kai was just bragging. "155 thousand" was a very easy question, because it was just addition.

Bai Zan was stunned, it turned out that Zhang Kai was indeed good at arithmetic. Even though it was just basic math, it was difficult for many people. "How about this!" Bai lan was challenged, he wrote a more difficult problem.

"980,789" Zhang Kai smiled, while both of them were impressed with Zhang Kai's ability.

"The second elder must like it" Bai Zan said,

"I'll buy it" Bai lan said with a big smile, he was a little curious about Zhang Kai's ability. In fact, it was a matter that was quite difficult for him though.

Zhang Kai bowed respectfully, "Good luck son" Old man Shan smiled heavily, he was again not chosen.

"I will definitely come back old man" Zhang Kai said seriously, old man Shan just smiled back.

He was then taken back into the room, while Zhang Kai was taken to Bai Zan. "This is the contract sir, I hope you come back again" the host smiled broadly.

"Greetings sir, I am Zhang Kai. I will serve you wholeheartedly" Zhang Kai bowed respectfully, he had to obey them, so that he would not be killed.

Death was a common thing, according to old man Shan. One's life is so cheap and meaningless in this world, many die without even needing a reason.

Especially slaves like them, who are even more meaningless to anyone. "I like your attitude" Bai lan nodded in satisfaction, but he did not want to touch Zhang Kai, there was still a difference between slaves and masters.

"You seem to be smart, so from now on. Be my servant" Bai lan said with a big smile, he was satisfied to find a smart slave.

"Yes master, I hope I won't disappoint you" he said.

Finally, Zhang Kai left with Bai Zan's entourage. As it turned out, they didn't live in this city, they lived in a city called Plum Wind City.

They were rich merchants, they owned a luxurious restaurant in a big city. They also owned a lot of land, which they rented out until they made a lot of money.

Zhang Kai sat at the very back of the caravan, he sat in a carriage full of souvenirs. He accepted all that, after all, his current status was just a slave.

According to Old Man Shan, if you want to get rid of your slave status. The slave must either get his master's consent or tear up his contract.

This is impossible for a slave who is bound by his contract. But it can be done by someone else, then the contract will be erased directly.

Zhang Kai did not care whether he was a slave or not. As long as he could still live, there were many ways out of this slave status. He was very confident in himself.

The caravan stopped, they decided to take a short break to feed the horses. While Zhang Kai was enjoying the beauty of nature, he just realized, the nature in this world is so beautiful and fascinating.

There was a stretch of green hills that was truly beautiful and majestic, it was like being in a painting. Zhang Kai smiled bitterly, remembering his wife who loved natural scenery.

"You must be happy to be here" he muttered, smiling heavily, he then sighed. Although time had passed for who knows how long, it felt like he could not forget his wife.

Zhang Kai heard the sound of footsteps from behind him, he turned his head. It turned out to be a guan bodyguard, he approached him. "Stand up and follow me" said bodyguard guan, his face always serious and his gaze alert.

Bodyguard Guan led him to the back of the caravan, "Can I help you bodyguard Guan?" asked Zhang Kai kindly.

"Don't try to be friendly with me, and neither should anyone else. Once you get to the main house, don't even try to curry favor or you will become the target of others. Remember." Bodyguard Guan made a serious face, then he left after giving the warning, making Zhang Kai understand that Bodyguard Guan could not look friendly but his heart was good.

"Become someone else's target, huftt" Zhang Kai laughed a little at that, but he would remember the warning from bodyguard guan.

He was sure, bodyguard guan was speaking based on his experience. It was just that Zhang Kai did not know what the competition between servants was like.

He actually wanted to chat with the other soldiers, but none of them seemed friendly. Thus, Zhang Kai only enjoyed the scenery during the journey.
