Chapter 468 Traveling Frog Robbery Edition
The popularity of hair growth cake even exceeded Ma Lu’s expectation. Not only did more people line up outside the store after it was put on the shelves, but it only took three days to register in Chiling. The number of people exceeded 10,000, and the highest number of people online once exceeded 4,000.
To commemorate this historic moment, all the staff of the Chiling project team, led by the producer Tu Tuozi, came to the Universe Infinite Canteen for team building that night and contributed 8,000 star coins.
Ma Lu also specially observed Teacher Bei Gongmeng, who was stabbed through the heart and brutally cut in two the last time he went there, and found that not only did he appear, but he was also alive and kicking, shouting and toasting everywhere.
After drinking too much, he still wanted to get closer to Coconut Milk Jelly, but was frightened by Coconut Milk Jelly's look and sat back down.
Well, this guy seemed to be fine. Ma Lu was suddenly a little curious about what Bei Gongmeng's true form was, and how he could be so tough.
In addition to the Chiling project team, Malu also received eight other tables of special guests this week. In the end, the total income was 12,123 star coins. Two of them even took the initiative to call and book. .
This shows that the reputation of the Universe Infinite Canteen among the visitors from the alien plane has gradually spread. If this continues, there should be no problem in paying off the money owed to Yanwu within the agreed time.
Not to mention that Malu also actively expanded the customer base and signed a catering contract with those dimensional pirates through Lao Hei.
This week, Lao Hei has moved 3,000 kilograms of bacon and 4,000 kilograms of ham from him, plus 2,000 butter buns and 2,000 croissants, and handed these things over to the dimensional pirates. .
According to Lao Hei, the dimensional pirates were very happy after receiving the supplies. The morale of the entire ship was high and they set out to work overnight.
I don’t know what good goods they can bring back when they come back.
Ma Lu felt like he was playing a popular mini-game called Traveling Frog, but it was just a robbery version.
A week passed like this, and in a blink of an eye it was time to set off.
With the insect eggs on his head, he soon returned to Yuchang County.
Malu originally thought that the Beggar Clan and Tianlong Clan would have been slaughtered to death, but he didn't expect that the two sides would actually start a fight. They had been calling for a war three weeks ago, and now there were only sporadic local conflicts.
The most sensational thing that happened during this period was the sudden death of the seven boxing masters who came to help last week. However, after being tense for so long, both of them basically reached their limit, and the voices of the main fighting faction began Take the initiative.
According to those who took care of Qing Yi, today should be the deadline. The Beggar Gang would take action at sunset. Chu Qianyuan even sent someone over to tell her not to go out at night.
"In addition, Geng Laoliu did not return to the city after leaving Wohu Gang that day. Some people said that they saw him heading towards Heyin County."
Gu Qingyi said, "But I I went to Heyin County but couldn’t find him. I plan to ask his relatives and friends to see where he is hiding.”
"No need to ask," Ma Lu shook his head. "Geng Laoliu is probably just a bait put out by the mastermind behind the scenes to attract our attention and make us exhausted.
"Even if we can find him, he will By then, he will probably be as speechless as Qin Feng. Since the mastermind behind the scenes knows that we are pursuing Liu Huazui's line, he will definitely make arrangements in advance, so how can he leave us any truly useful clues.
“In Qingzhou, especially in the territory of Yuchang County, it is impossible for our strength to match his.”
“Then what should we do? Just watch the beggar. Are you going to fight to the death with the Tianlongmen?" Gu Qingyi was a little reluctant, "Isn't that what he wants?"
"The investigation must be carried out, but we can't be led by him anymore. Let's go." Ma Lu thought of what Han Guangzhong said that day and paused.
"We were originally investigating the whereabouts of the lotus bowl, but after being interrupted by Cai Die, our attention was diverted to digging out the mastermind behind the scenes."
"I think we should leave the behind the scene aside for the time being. Black Hand, keep looking for the bowl." This time it was Gu Qingyi's turn to shake his head, "Almost everyone in Yuchang County has been looking for the Lotus Bowl, but no one has found it yet. The culprit is hidden. If you can’t catch the culprit, you won’t be able to find the lotus bowl.”
“I think the lotus bowl is not in the hands of the culprit.”
Ma Lu touched his chin and said, "That guy obviously wants to provoke a war between the Beggar Clan and Tianlongmen. If he knows the whereabouts of the lotus bowl, he can just secretly send the bowl to Tianlongmen and find a place to hide it. , if someone from the Beggar Clan found him and got the stolen goods together, the two sides would have started fighting
"The only reason why he didn't do this is that he didn't know where the bowl went."
"Ah, but besides him, who else would steal the lotus bowl?" Gu Qingyi frown.
The lotus bowl was left behind by the founder of the Beggar Clan. It is of great significance to the disciples of the Beggar Clan, but it is not made of gold. It is just a broken bowl if it is left outside. No one may want it even if it is given away.
Ordinary thieves would not steal such things.
Ma Lu said, "The Beggar Clan disciple who stole the bowl mentioned that he was forced by Happy Forest to steal the bowl. Come on, let's go to Happy Forest and ask."
Because Ma Lu has masters on both sides, both the Beggar Clan and Tianlongmen are very polite to him. He is probably the only person in Yuchang County who can pass freely on both sides.
The disciple guarding the gate outside Happy Forest saw him and immediately went in to pass the news. It didn't take long for Malu to see the beautiful woman he had seen before.
It’s just that the latter has now changed into a smart outfit, which outlines her curves more and more clearly, and she is holding two Emei thorns in her hands.
"Mrs. Yin."
"Ma Shaoxia, Gu Shenping, the war is about to begin. Now is not a good time to come for a visit. Be careful of being taken as one of ours by those beggars. Block it inside." Lady Yin said.
"We are here to ask you something important."
"What is it?"
"Did a famous disciple of the Beggar Clan gamble with you before and owed you a fortune? "
Mrs. Yin raised her eyebrows, "The beggars from the Beggar Clan have asked me many times, and I have answered them many times. Yes, Happy Forest is the one who asked me. People are looking for a happy place. As long as you have money, no matter who you are, you can come here to be happy.
"Beggars' disciples are also human beings, and they also want to find happiness. But when it comes to gambling, you will win if you lose. , and most people lose more than they win. It is normal for them to end up gambling and owe money.
"But I am running a gambling house, not a porridge factory. We will also evaluate if someone borrows money. We will only lend money if we confirm that he can afford it, has something valuable with him, or that his family and friends can afford it. Give it to him."
"How much is a lotus bowl worth in Mrs. Yin's opinion?"
Mrs. Yin shook her head, "I'm not a fool. What can I accept and what can't? Of course I know. I asked the dealer and the cashier that day. Happy Forest didn’t lend money to that Beggar Clan disciple, but..."
"But what?"
"He didn’t lend money that day. It was a big gamble and a lot of money lost.”
