Chapter 31 The person hiding under the bed
An turned around and said with a smile:
“The Rift Tide, for those of us apprentices who have just stepped into the extraordinary path, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
After the news is confirmed, maybe those old people from Bei Country who are guarding their family property will come to our countryside to grab food.
If we can survive the wave, we may also be able to see the extraordinary peak. "
After An finished speaking, his expectant eyes were on Chen Qi.
If ordinary people want to become a high-level transcendent, the most basic requirement is a high-level professional card.
High-level professional cards will only be generated in high-level cracks.
As a student of the Royal University of Bei Kingdom, she deeply knows how valuable those old people in the Imperial Capital of Bei Kingdom regard high-level cracks.
Even though she has put in unprecedented efforts, she is not even qualified to enter a high-level crack.
But the tide of cracks, while bringing disaster, will also bring about brand new cracks.
Of course, these unknown new cracks will be more dangerous than those that have been controlled.
These disasters are also opportunities.
Chen Qi also looked at the sea in the distance.
Ann was right, but not completely.
People from the mainland of Bei Country are not the only ones who come to the Witch Sea to cause trouble and grab food.
According to the game data, the rift tide in the Witch Sea will be more powerful than any other tide in history.
In addition to the interior of Bei Country, the neighboring Kingdom of Golden Flowers and Birds, the White Tower Federation, and the distant Black Blood Empire are all coming to the Witch Sea to get involved.
While they were talking, on the merchant ship, the captain wearing a captain's hat came down from the ship's ladder, took off his hat and saluted, interrupting several people.
He discussed the matter with the novice mentor and mayor of Marrow Town.
As an important person in charge of Maruo Town, An still has things to deal with.
"I have to take care of some things first."
An took a few steps forward, then suddenly thought of something again, and swallowed a mouthful of water:
"By the way, Qi, you are a chef now, right? I will give you something good later."
"?"
nice one? Chen Qi crossed his chest and tilted his head in confusion.
Something else?
He had to admit that, as the player rankings said, An was a very responsible novice mentor.
After Mayor An and Maro left.
At this moment, Xiao Ma Luo, who had been beside him, took a long breath.
"call!"
He patted Chen Qi on the shoulder and said: "Wow, brother, you are actually a chef. I have never seen extraordinary chefs. I heard that the food you cook is so delicious that your clothes will explode. , please treat me to a meal if you have time."
Chen Qi looked at Xiao Ma Luo speechlessly.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Maruo looked around and whispered: "How about it, they left.
Brothers, let’s go find the money thief who has leviathan disease together, and then tell the news to the mechanical arm hunter and make a huge profit!
I remember that man was quite rich! "
Are you still worried about your money? Chen Qi's eyes became wary.
According to the information provided by Xiao Maruo, someone sneaked into Maruo Town and tried to kidnap him.
In the shadow of Maro Island, does anyone want to take action against him?
He carefully scanned the crowds coming and going on the pier.
Among the crowd, he didn't see the man with the mechanical arm.
Chen Qi once again said to Xiao Ma Luo: "Are you sure that person jumped into the sea? And, from what you feel, does that person have a partner?"
"Yes, I guess I have already gone ashore. I don't have a partner. I see that the man is wearing a cloak and coming alone. He must be a ruthless person from the company who specializes in dealing with debts!"
Hearing what Chen Qi said, Xiao Ma Luo suddenly realized something and looked around.
"The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light..."
Chen Qi thought that if the other party really came to kidnap him, he would not take action at this time.
The place where he took action must be a dark place far away from the crowd.
"Home?"
Chen Qi had a preliminary answer in his mind.
When they were just chatting, the moon had already peeked out, and the light on the dock was particularly dim.
"The other party asked Xiao Maruo for information..."
Blindly asking for information means that this person is not a cautious person and does not understand his situation.
The other party was very anxious and might have asked other people for information.
Chen Qi looked around and made sure that he was not far away from the crowd, then walked forward.
The Old Bailey has been sitting on the dock all day, and if a man with a robotic arm passes by, maybe he'll have some clues.
Chen Qi knelt down, took out four hundred shellfish coins, and handed them to the other party:
"Old Bailey."
Seeing the money, the sleepy Old Bailey suddenly woke up:
"What's wrong?"
"I will rent your boat for a few more days, and when I return home next time, I will pay you the full price of the boat.
Also, have you ever seen someone on the dock asking for information about others? "
Old Bailey took the money and recalled: "It seems that there is indeed a man from Yueshi City. He said that there was a damn money thief in our Maruo Town who stole their company's money. , come here to ask for debt.
He also advised us not to protect criminals, otherwise our legs would be broken. "
Sure enough... Chen Qi asked softly again:
"Do you know where he went?"
"I don't know. It seemed that he was still wandering around just now. I remember that someone seemed to answer him and then suddenly disappeared."
Answered!
Did that person already know my information from other people? Chen Qi felt nervous.
“Can you really pay in full?”
Old Bailey asked. He still didn't quite believe that Chen Qi had so much money, unless he did something illegal.
"certainly."
Chen Qi stood up and looked around again.
The key now is not money, but finding this person hiding in the dark.
There is no one on the dock...
That person suddenly disappeared and hid in the water?
A place suitable for hiding people... Chen Qi turned his head and locked his eyes on his small house boat. The small house boat rocked slightly on the sea.
A dangerous intuition arises spontaneously.
Could it be that the other party had already seen me when I got off the boat?
The man knew I would be back on the boat.
So……
Could it be that the other person has already run into my boat, and then when night falls, when he goes to bed at night, he climbs into my bed and gives me a surprise?
Chen Qi’s heart was pounding and he took a long breath.
Under the afterglow of the day, he took out the collector from his backpack, hid it under his clothes, and then walked step by step towards the cabin boat.
If Xiao Maruo's information is correct.
Although the opponent is only a first-order transcendent, he is equipped with a mechanical arm.
In the New Sun World, there are three types of powerful equipment, mechanical armor, flesh and blood breeding equipment, and blood mechanical armor.
As the name suggests, mechanical armor is a common armor in the New World.
Flesh-and-flesh breeding equipment refers to stripping living monsters of their consciousness, retaining only the most basic combat functions, and then making them into equipment. It is a very dangerous equipment.
The blood armor is a mixture of the two, mixing monsters and machines together to make equipment.
Although the robotic arm is just a hand, it is also quite good equipment in the early stage.
One punch is enough to kill a pig!
Chen Qi recalled for a moment that in the memory of his original owner, the mechanical arm of the first-order transcendent was not a brand-name product.
Da, da, da——
Unknowingly, Chen Qi had walked to his small houseboat.
He was taking his left foot out, preparing to jump onto the boat.
"start!"
At that moment, a female voice came from behind.
"Call me at this time..."
Chen Qi shed a few drops of cold sweat, took a few steps back, made sure there was no danger of turning around, and whispered: "What's the matter, Teacher An?"
It was none other than An who called her.
At this moment, she was holding two bags of things in her hands and walked over happily.
One bag contained potato and beef ingredients bags, and the other bag contained a brand new set of kitchen utensils.
She walked over, blinked her blue eyes, and handed the two bags to Chen Qi:
"You should complete your daily tasks today.
By chance, I met a chef on a merchant ship and asked them for some ingredients, just for you. "
"ah?"
Chen Qi was shocked.
Although the ingredients and kitchen utensils were not expensive items, her behavior still made him feel an indescribable feeling.
A strange feeling of eating soft rice...
He once again deeply understood why she had the title of An's mother on the ranking list of new mentors.
"Okay, thank you very much, Teacher An."
Chen Qi took the ingredients and kitchen utensils, turned around, and walked carefully towards the cabin boat.
And the moment he turned back, An Zhi turned towards Chen Qi's back, the corner of his mouth curved, showing an expression that his plan had succeeded!
The plan goes through!
On the surface, she gave the other party food and wanted to help him, but this was only her first level.
In fact, all the dishes she gave Chen Qi were her favorites!
“The food in Maro Town is really bad...”
Ann touched her hungry belly.
Her father's cooking really didn't suit her taste, and he really liked cooking fish, and she didn't like eating fish.
And the other party who chose to become an extraordinary chef should have two skills!
In the imperial capital, her friends treated her to delicious food prepared by extraordinary chefs, and it was simply the best of delicacies.
Although Chen Qi has just become a chef, An feels that he should be able to cook better than others in Maruo Town.
Her real purpose is to earn a living in the name of work and guidance!
If it is really delicious, she will be able to enjoy delicious food every day from now on.
This is An's second thought.
An touched the corners of her mouth. She couldn't help but drooled a little bit.
Chen Qi jumped onto the small houseboat and looked in through the crack in the door of the houseboat.
Although the light was very dim, he saw a vague figure of a person under the tattered bed in his houseboat.
Moreover, I could smell some sweat that didn't belong to him.
Sure enough there is!
At this moment, one scene after another flashed through Chen Qi’s mind.
He was almost certain that the person under the bed was the gang member 'Iron Hand' who lured him to the Black Rabbit Gang, defrauded him of all his wages, and joined the human traffickers!
Iron Hand is a greedy and bold man. Because he is good at water, he once used his mechanical arm to drag a pair of brothers and sisters in the gang who tried to escape into the sea and drowned them alive. Therefore, he has the reputation of "water ghost" and "water ghost". Iron Hand's two terrifying titles.
Such ruthless people are like demons to many young people.
But now, in terms of strength, Iron Hand may not be his opponent.
etc!
Chen Qi suddenly realized something.
Why did An stop him just now? Could it be that it was just to help him, or because he wanted to make a living?
No!
Ann's observation skills are different from ordinary people. She may have noticed that the man secretly boarded his boat.
I stopped him just now, actually to remind him!
Chen Qi thought of the third floor, turned around and looked at An.
What a terrifying observation!
“Alas!”
Why did he look back? Does he understand? Could it be that the intention of cheating was discovered?
An blushed, turned her head, smiled sheepishly, and then raised her head again with an expectant look in her eyes.
She could already imagine the aroma of Chen Qi's cooking.
This look...
Do you want me to solve it myself? Chen Qi shook his head and responded to the other party with his eyes.
No matter what, he had to go and kill the person who broke into his house without permission.
