Chapter 127: Monkey Qi Fell Over in Frustration
After the previous incident, Hou Qi and Jason can be said to have completely torn their faces apart.
Relying on his position in the global village, Hou Qi openly began to compete with Jason, and from time to time he even tried to put down Jason in front of Zack.
Jason, fearing that the matter would be exposed, could only look at him with resentment, gritting his teeth and holding back his anger. Just when he was so angry that he almost put a sack on the boy and beat him up, his three-day labor reform period finally ended.
The dark energy on Jason's face finally dissipated, and the frustration and anger he had felt for the past three days were swept away. Before leaving, he swaggered and gave Hou Qi a smug look.
Humph, I am a tourist now, much nobler than a slave.
Monkey Qi was so angry that he pointed his finger at him and complained to Zach, "Boss, look at his expression. He looks down on us."
Jason quickly suppressed the expression in his eyes, grinned, and explained to Zack with a simple smile, "How could I possibly do that? How dare I look down on the boss?"
At the same time, he glared at Hou Qi and scolded him with a smile, "Hou Qi, stop talking nonsense. What if the boss misunderstands me? I'm just happy that I'm free and can go out and kill monsters and open treasure chests. When I get some meat, I can give it to the boss to replenish his body and change his taste. Although Danmu fruit is good, it's not delicious without some meat."
After hearing this, Zack smiled with great satisfaction, put Hou Qi's complaint behind him, patted Jason's shoulder heroically, and called him a good brother with a big laugh.
The other pirates, who had been smelling the aroma of meat in the kitchen of Louwailou for two days and had been craving it for a long time, immediately came over, surrounded Jason and the other two who had been freed, and spoke nicely to them, asking them to quickly kill the monsters and bring them some good meat. They were almost going crazy with greed.
Jason and the other two said cheerfully, "Of course, of course."
The group of people looked so happy that Hou Qi fell backwards in anger.
Haru looked at him, then looked at the group of pirates who were so happy about the meat, and silently moved away.
Hou Qi saw him immediately, his cunning eyes filled with frustration as he complained, "Why are some people so dumb? Jason and the other two have betrayed the boss. Just wait, they'll definitely hide something, humph."
Haru was stunned. He had never expected Hou Qi to complain to him. Honestly, among all the pirates, Hou Qi was the one that had the most unpleasantness with him. When they first came to this global village, they had exposed each other's secrets in order to survive.
Seeing his dazed look, Hou Qi's bloodshot eyes showed a strong sense of hostility. He snorted coldly in anger, turned around, picked up a broken wooden stick and continued to work.
Haru:.
He touched his head, and finally looked thoughtfully at Jason's three pirates who had regained their freedom.
In the next two days, something happened that made Hou Qi even more angry.
Jason and his three guys only sent some sporadic meat, but after eating the delicious barbecue, Zack completely turned his heart to him.
After hearing that Jason was collecting spirit coins to buy medicine for Mu Tong's treatment, Zack said nothing and happily called a group of brothers to give Jason the cheap labor fees that the system had given them in the past few days to raise money to buy medicine.
As a tourist, Jason had to pay double the price for the potion. The spirit coins they scraped together couldn't even buy a bottle of the cheapest red medicine.
In the end, Jason and his two brothers took out the spirit coins they had earned in the past two days, but they were still two short of the big red medicine.
Jason looked at Hou Qi, who had a grim expression on his face. He walked over with a smug look on his face and said with a sinister grin, "Hou Qi, you're the only one left. Just take out your spirit coins and we'll have enough. Or do you not want the second-in-command's injury to heal?"
Zack immediately frowned and looked at Hou Qi with a fierce look. Seeing Hou Qi's gloomy face and unwillingness to cooperate, his expression also turned ugly.
Zach said seriously, "Monkey, I know you have a grudge against Jason, but right now, treating my second brother is the most important thing. Only when he recovers can we be saved. Jason and the others are almost out of time, so you should take out the spirit coins first. At worst, I can return them to you later when I make some money."
Seeing Jason's smug face, Hou Qi gnashed with hatred. With a twisted face, he said, "Boss, it's not that I don't want to give it to you. You're the boss, so of course I'll give you my spirit coins. But Jason is different. This guy is a villain and a traitor. In the past two days, I don't believe he can't even earn forty spirit coins."
"Also, I asked the people from the Poor Whale Tribe this morning. They went up to the mountains these past two days. The rewards for killing monsters there are generous, but Jason only brought back a few pounds of meat for us. He must have hidden the good stuff and didn't want to give it to us."
Zach hesitated and said, "Ah, this."
Link and the other man behind Jason twitched their faces and glanced out with a guilty look.
But Jason seemed to have become accustomed to lying after the past two days of confrontation. He lied without blinking, "Hou Qi, how could you think that of us? We are all good brothers of the Black Skull Pirates. Besides, who says that fighting monsters in the mountains means abundant supplies? Everyone has bad luck sometimes."
Link, caught a glimpse of Jason's gaze, immediately chimed in, "Yeah, yeah. While you can get something from a treasure chest, it also depends on luck. You should know Wu Xingyu from Global Village, the incredibly beautiful man, prettier than even aristocratic women. He's just not very lucky. Killing ten monsters often only yields seven treasure chests, and each chest only contains one or two Spirit Coins."
This example is so typical that the fools on Zack's side were immediately convinced.
"Yes, yes, I've heard about this too. That girl with peach blossom eyes named Pei Yu often jokes about it with others. I heard it when I was passing by."
"I heard that Wu Xingyu went up the mountain and killed hundreds of monsters these past two days, but he only earned about a hundred or eighty spirit coins. He only got a share of the meat after cooperating with Village Chief Yun."
The silly space pirates sighed and thought that Africans were the darkest people in the world.
Look at this look, he seems to be quite sympathetic towards Wu Xingyu, which made Hou Qi almost vomit blood in anger.
Idiot, idiot, idiot. Who is Wu Xingyu? How can they sympathize with her? No matter what, she is not a slave. She will not be fooled by the so-called good brothers. She can still go to Louwailou and order a table of delicious food every day.
Why should you sympathize with him? Sympathize with yourselves, you stupid fools.
But after the topic went off track, Zack stopped questioning Jason and the other two. In the end, Hou Qi was unwilling to fall out with the boss, so he could only give Jason the two spirit coins he had worked so hard to earn, thus making up the forty spirit coins needed to buy the big red medicine.
