1192 New Problems Crop Up Unexpectedly (1/2)

Nabari agreed to the invitation without much concern over details such as remuneration, which relieved Zhang Zian.

While waiting for the business discussions following that, Salem suddenly said, ”Uncle Nabari, I also want to go with you guys!”

Nabari and Zhang Zian were both stunned.

”Aren't you working in the Port of Mersa Matruh now? Before, when your father asked you to come back, you refused no matter what. Why do you want to follow me into the desert now? Don't you know that the desert is dangerous? It's not a place for you to hang out.” Nabari reprimanded him in a solemn tone.

Salem had made up his mind to go with Nabari, who was the best guide in the tribe, and this was the last time he would lead a team into the desert.

One couldn't learn to be a desert guide by studying things being closed doors with textbooks. He must be taught and pass down knowledge from generation to generation, precious experiences that could not be described easily. Nabari had gone into the desert with his father to learn how to be a guide. If he missed this opportunity, it would be an unacceptable loss for Salem, who wanted to be a guide.

Salem pleaded pathetically, ”Uncle Nabari, you're the best guide in the tribe, but you're going to retire soon. If someone wants to go into the desert, who's going to be the guide? Wouldn't it be a pity to lose lives in the desert because there were no qualified guides?”

Nabari's heart was moved. He looked at his children that were on the floor mat just mumbling and learning the languages, crawling on the floor on all fours. He was silent and did not speak.

He had several children. The first few were daughters. His daughters had grown up and gotten married, but his sons were still young. He did not have the opportunity to wait for his sons to grow up and then pass on the experience of desert guide to his sons. Would he then just have to watch as the experience he'd had for many years was not passed down?

After thinking about it, he finally nodded. ”Okay, but you have to get your father's consent before I can take you into the desert. If he doesn't agree...”

Salim jumped a foot high and embraced Nabari. He almost knocked Nabari into a stumble. ”Thank you, Uncle Nabari! As for my father, don't worry. As long as I am willing to return to the tribe, whether it means going into the desert or herding sheep, he will agree—in my opinion, he would rather I learn from you than become a shepherd!”

Nabari shook his head helplessly. ”It's not enough to get my consent. You have to get the consent of the science team. After all, they are the main players in this trip.”

Salem looked towards Zhang Zian with wide eyes.

Zhang Zian knew what he wanted to do in his heart, wanting to be a guide and easily earning a lot of money, but the reality was not as simple as he thought it was.

As for letting him follow the science team into the desert... Zhang Zian estimated that it wouldn't be a problem. As long as he told Wei Kang the meaning of the guide, he thought Wei Kang would not have any comments. Plus, an additional person would only spend a few dollars more.

”In the scientific research team, my words don't hold any weight. I'm only responsible for the miscellaneous work, but I can help you to tell the principal person in charge. As for whether the person in charge agrees or not, I can't say.” Zhang Zian held himself back and did not say anything too confidently.

”That's great! Jeff! I knew you were the best!”

Salem was not foolish. Since the scientific examination team had entrusted Zhang Zian with such an important task as finding a guide, Zhang Zian must have had a great deal of speaking power in the scientific research team. As long as Zhang Zian was willing to help, this matter would definitely be confirmed.

He also wanted to hug Zhang Zian, and at that moment, Fina looked sideways. It heard a lot of footsteps approaching. Its pupils shrank slightly, and it saw someone it knew.
