Chapter 1173 Qualifications (two chapters in one)
"Be careful when you go in. If a dangerous situation occurs, evacuate immediately." Seeing that his companion was about to set off, Mu Qi warned him.
"This gem appraisal shop looks very ordinary. There is a high probability that things like you are not going to happen." Zhang Zhao said with a smile.
"It's better to be careful."
"Okay, I get it."
Under Mu Qi's gaze, Zhang Zhao quickly approached the store.
When he came to the door of the shop, he immediately took out some tools from his pocket.
"Click, click, click."
With the help of tools, Zhang Zhao easily opened the locked door.
He opened the door gently and walked quickly into the store.
Mu Qi, who was on guard outside the store, saw Zhang Zhao disappear, then turned his head and looked around.
There were no shops across the street open, and except for the late-night snack restaurant dozens of meters away, which had lights on, the whole street was still very quiet.
Mu Qi leaned against the big tree on the side of the road, patiently waiting for his companion to come back.
Time passed, about six or seven minutes passed, and Zhang Zhao hurriedly ran out of the shop.
"You came out so soon?" Mu Qi saw a surprised expression on his face when he saw his companion returning.
In his expectation, it would take Zhang Zhao at least ten minutes to search for that thing in the store, but now it only took half the time. It was a bit unconventional to go smoothly.
"I found that thing." Zhang Zhao came to his companions and said happily.
"What does that thing look like?" Mu Qi asked curiously.
Although both of them knew that the mutated creatures were very eager for that thing, they did not know what that thing was.
Zhang Zhao took out a metal box from his pocket. Mu Qi looked at the ordinary metal box in front of him and said.
"That's it?"
"Be patient." Zhang Zhao said as he opened the metal box.
Under Mu Qi's gaze, Zhang Zhao picked up a red crystal the size of a fingernail from the metal box.
"Roar..."
The mutated creature in the backpack suddenly roared excitedly, and its eagerness was clearly visible.
"Ruby?" Mucci took the red crystal handed over by his companion.
It's not like he has never seen gems before. He has several rubies of this kind himself.
"It looks like a ruby, but it's impossible for a mutant creature to be interested in an ordinary ruby." Zhang Zhao said.
"That's true. If ordinary rubies can cause such changes in mutated creatures, those conducting experiments will not need to worry so much about finding special experimental materials." Mucci said to himself.
"Now we don't have special equipment to test this thing. Let's leave here first and make long-term plans after we go back." Zhang Zhao said.
"Yeah." Mu Qi nodded, and then the two of them put the red crystal back into the metal box and quickly left the scene.
At night, Mu Qi and Zhang Zhao rode shared bicycles on quieter streets, leaving the city center and heading to remote suburbs.
…………
The next morning, a bus appeared at the end of the street.
When the bus stopped, the door opened, and a young man in his twenties got out of the bus.
This young man had an early shift this morning, so he got up early and went to work.
"Ha~"
"I'm so sleepy! I can't stay up late at night watching TV series."
The young man yawned while carrying the buns he bought on the roadside and walked to a store not far away.
When he arrived at his workplace, he was so startled by what he saw that he suddenly woke up.
"Fuck."
"The store was robbed."
When the young man saw that the door of the shop was ajar, he exclaimed and hurried into the shop.
Not long after, a car appeared on the side of the road. After the door opened, a solemn-looking middle-aged man got out of the car.
"Store manager." The young man greeted.
"Are you sure that only that lady's things are missing in the store?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Yes, I checked it carefully. Except for the missing metal box, everything else is safe."
"That's okay. If a lot of other things are stolen, our store can be declared bankrupt."
Both of them were very happy now. Then they called the police, and then contacted the owner of the lost thing to discuss compensation.
…………
In the dim room, a faint fragrance floated in the air.
The graceful figure lying on the bed turned over and changed her sleeping position.
"Drip bell bell..."
The cell phone placed on the bedside table suddenly rang, and the crisp ringtone broke the silence in the room.
"嘤~"
Su Yue's long eyelashes trembled rapidly, and then she opened her eyes.
She was awakened by the sudden ringing of her mobile phone. She took it out to check who called, but found that it was an unfamiliar phone number.
"Isn't it right? Salespeople work so early now?"
Su Yue saw that the caller was a stranger, and subconsciously thought it was a salesperson.
She stretched out a slender finger and touched the screen, instantly connecting to the call.
"Hello?"
"Hello, excuse me, may I ask, are you Miss Su?"
"It's me, are you?" Seeing that the other party recognized her, Su Yue immediately sat up and leaned against the bedside to answer the phone.
"I am..." The middle-aged man introduced himself.
"What's the matter?" Su Yue knew that the other person was the manager of a shop that appraised gems, and she opened her red lips slightly and asked in confusion.
"Ms. Su, I'm really sorry. There was a thief in our store last night. The items you entrusted us to identify were stolen by the thief." The store manager explained concisely and concisely.
"Eh?!!!" Su Yue was stunned after hearing these words.
"I'm really sorry. We will compensate you for your losses. Come to the store when is convenient for you and let's talk in person."
"..."
Su Yue was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Did the surveillance cameras in your store capture the thief?"
The store manager said angrily, "The store's surveillance did not capture the thief. He destroyed all the surveillance. He was obviously prepared."
"Okay, I understand. I will go to your store later." Su Yue said calmly without scolding the other party.
After the call ended, the bedroom suddenly became quiet.
Su Yue looked at the phone with the screen turned off and muttered, "If I had known this earlier, I should have brought those two things back yesterday."
Something was lost because a thief broke into the store and stole it.
The store didn't want something like this to happen, and the store apologized sincerely and promised to compensate in full, so Su Yue had no intention of blaming the other party. Moreover, Su Yue had a lot of gems, and they were not particularly valuable in her opinion.
Su Yue shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She put her phone back on the bedside table, then hid in the bed and fell asleep.
…………
In a community in a remote area of the suburbs, a beast roared in a room.
"Roar..."
The mutant creature was locked in an iron cage and roared from time to time.
Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and Zhang Zhao appeared with sleepiness on his face. The mutated creature trembled in fear, and then stopped roaring.
"You guy, if you continue to make such noise, I will give you a severe lesson." Zhang Zhao scolded sternly.
The mutated creature lowered its head, its eyes filled with anger. However, the gap in strength was too large. No matter how much resentment there was, there was no way to avenge the enemy, and it could only accept compromise.
"Hmph."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Zhang Zhao saw the mutated creature surrendered, snorted coldly, and then left the room.
In the quiet room, the mutated creature raised its head and looked toward the door with bright eyes.
"Ha~" Mu Qi yawned and walked out of the bathroom. After seeing Zhang Zhao, he said.
"We can't let that guy keep shouting like this and affect the surrounding neighbors. If they call the police, it will cause us a lot of trouble."
Zhang Zhao nodded, "I know this. I have given it a stern warning. That guy should be more at ease in the future."
Mu Qi did not believe that the mutated creature would always be honest and said, "It will become like this just because it wants to get those two red crystals."
Zhang Zhao raised his hand and touched his chin, thought for a moment and said, "In that case, should we put those two red crystals somewhere else first, so as to calm that guy down."
"You can do it, but aren't you afraid that the two red crystals will be stolen when we leave them unattended?" Mucci said.
"Um..." Zhang Zhao was silent for a moment. He finally found the two red crystals. If they were stolen somewhere else, it would feel like they would explode on the spot.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"That's what I think. You should work harder first and keep an eye on that mutated creature. If it gets restless, teach it a lesson."
"This is the only way we can do it. By the way, you reported to the organization yesterday, why haven't you received a reply yet?"
"It should be soon."
As soon as Mu Qi finished speaking, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He took out his cell phone and looked at it. It was a series of familiar phone numbers.
Mu Qi quickly answered the phone and started chatting with the other party.
After about four or five minutes, the call ended.
"What do you say?" Zhang Zhao asked immediately after seeing his companion answer the phone.
"The organization asked us to go to the secret base to test the two red crystals first," Mucci told.
"We have a secret base in Rongcheng, how come I didn't know about it?" Zhang Zhao said in surprise.
"That secret base was built not long ago, and people with insufficient authority are not qualified to know." Mucci explained.
With his explanation, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little awkward.
Neither of them knew there was a secret base in Rongcheng before, which meant that they were not qualified.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I'm very hungry now and I have to go out to buy breakfast. After breakfast, we will set off to the secret base." Mucci changed the subject so that the awkward atmosphere would not continue.
"Yeah." Zhang Zhao nodded, and then said to his companion who was about to go out to buy breakfast.
"Buy me two more tea eggs, and give me three portions of the donkey meat roasted on fire."
"Okay." Mucci responded, then left the house and took the elevator downstairs.
"Roar..."
After his companions left, Zhang Zhao was about to go to the bathroom to wash up when he heard the roar of the mutated creature again.
"It seems I can't do it without teaching that guy a lesson."
With that said, Zhang Zhao turned around and headed to the room where the mutated creatures were kept.
Within a few seconds, a very painful cry sounded in the room, followed by a period of silence.
…………
In Xingfu Garden Community, Su Yue, who is slim and beautiful, walked out of the corridor.
"Teacher Su, why did you go out to work early today?" A middle-aged woman was exercising. When she saw the beautiful Su Yue, she said hello in surprise.
"Hello, Sister Liu, I have something to do today, so I went out early." Su Yue, who smiled sweetly, said a few words to the other party, and then continued to the parking place.
The white little sheep electric car started, Su Yue left the community, and disappeared at the end of the street after a while.
At the entrance of the gem appraisal shop, a middle-aged man looked down the street from time to time.
When Su Yue's figure appeared, the store manager immediately came out of the store and ran towards the customers who were parking their cars.
Taking off his helmet, Su Yue had just put the things away when he heard the store manager greeting him.
"Miss Su."
"Yeah."
Su Yue nodded in response, and then led the other party into the gem appraisal shop.
After only a moment, the compensation for the lost items was agreed upon, and the store manager sent Su Yue to the door with great enthusiasm.
"No need to give it away anymore."
"Ms. Su, be careful on the road."
Su Yue drove away in the white Little Sheep electric car. The store manager looked at her leaving figure. He didn't look back until Su Yue's figure disappeared.
An employee came to the store manager and asked curiously, "Does Ms. Su have a big mouth?"
The store manager said, "No, Ms. Su didn't ask for anything. She only asked us to compensate according to the normal price."
The employee was very surprised. In his opinion, if the item entrusted by the customer to be appraised was lost in the store, the entire responsibility lies with the store. It is extremely rare for a lion to open his mouth.
"That Miss Su is really kind-hearted." The store manager sighed with emotion.
The clerk nodded in agreement, and then the two returned to the store to do other work.
Su Yue received the compensation and headed to the school. When she arrived at the school, the school security guard greeted her and told her about the robbery at the school last night.
"What, you said our school was robbed last night?"
After listening to the security guard's story, Su Yue's pretty face suddenly showed a surprised expression.
"Yes." The security guard nodded.
"What...is this missing?" Su Yue asked.
In her opinion, there is nothing valuable in the school. Even if there are some valuable things, if you want to steal them, you have to spend a lot of effort. The risks and rewards are disproportionate.
"After inspection, nothing has been found stolen so far," the security guard said.
"That's good. It seems that they were discovered before they had time to steal things." Su Yue thought for a moment and sighed, "I don't know what they thought when they came to the school to steal things."
"Yes! You have become a practitioner, and you still do such sneaky things. It's really unfathomable..." The security guard is an ordinary person. He feels that it is easier to make money as a practitioner, and there is no need to do such things.
Su Yue chatted with the security guard for a few words, parked the car, and then headed to the teacher's office.
