Chapter 128 The Little Prince of the Hunter Tribe
"No, brother, listen to me!"
"Hmm?" Miao Lei saw Miao Feng's serious expression and his original expression subsided a little. He frowned and said, "You speak first."
"It's like this..." Miao Feng organized his words, "The other day I was setting up a stall on Luoyu Street and was chased by the urban management. In desperation, I ran into a small alley..."
Seeing Miao Lei's face suddenly turn ugly and about to scold him, Miao Feng shrank his head and quickly sped up his speech:
"Well, well, originally, if I wanted to run, the urban management would definitely not be able to catch me..."
"Are you still feeling complacent?" Miao Lei slapped Miao Feng on the head. "Did you learn those skills just to do this?"
"Hiss...Brother, calm down." Miao Feng took several steps back in pain. "I haven't finished talking yet... I had already shaken them off, but when I turned a corner in an alley, I suddenly saw a few big men trying to grope a boy of about fifteen or sixteen... How could I tolerate that? I beat them up on the spot!"
"Hmm?" Miao Lei raised his eyebrows. "You mean you fought because you were brave enough to do something righteous? ...Then why didn't the superintendent tell me that?"
"…Because it was those big guys who called the police."
Miao Lei's mouth twitched: "So you haven't even figured out whether he's a bad guy or not, but you've already attacked him?"
"You don't know, big brother!" Miao Feng quickly defended himself. "They looked so ferocious and menacing back then, who wouldn't be confused? Later, when they came over with a group of security guards to arrest me, I was completely stunned... At the police station, they said they were merchants from the Hunter Tribe. Because a little prince of the tribe had gone missing, they were ordered to search for him. They were about to find him, but I ruined it..."
"You, you..." Miao Lei had a headache.
The Hunter Tribe, although named as a tribe, is actually a human state regime.
They live outside the borders of Yan State to the northwest, and make a living as nomads. The hunters do not have clear national boundaries, only a rough living area.
The northwest border of Yan State is a desolate area, mostly grasslands, deserts and mountains. Originally, it was a fantasy for a country to develop here. Not to mention, the wild beasts roaming around were enough to make them suffer.
However, the hunters have a strange space for survival called the "Eternal Life Tent".
The Longevity Tent is different from other alien spaces. It is not fixed. Not only does its position float around, but even the size of the entrance changes frequently. Due to some opportunities, the ancestors of the hunting tribe mastered the method of controlling the entrance of the Longevity Tent to a certain extent. So they took advantage of the ability of the Longevity Tent to wander around and started a nomadic life in the northwest.
If you are abroad and you see a man herding flocks of sheep on the grassland, you want to go up and talk to him, but a puff of smoke passes by and your vision is obscured. When you regain your vision, the man and the flock have disappeared... Then you have seen a hunter.
The Hunter Tribe's Great Court controls the opening and closing authority of all entrances to the Longevity Tents. They distribute it to each tribe, and each tribe then distributes it according to its own needs.
With the help of the longevity tent, the hunters can appear and disappear like ghosts in the grasslands outside the country and do not have to worry about the invasion of wild beasts.
The trading relationship between the Hunter Tribe and the Yan State has a long history, so it is not surprising to see people from the Hunter Tribe in Jiangcheng.
Because the wild beasts separated the borders of various countries, the countries in this world were relatively peaceful and there was almost no major friction.
Therefore, what Miao Feng said can already be considered an international affair...
Miao Lei frowned and asked, "What happened next? I didn't see any hunters when I went to the police station. Did they give you any trouble?"
"That's not the case... After checking, the police inspector discovered that the person they were looking for was indeed the little prince of the Hunter Tribe, so he promised to use official resources to search for him. Then the Hunter Tribe members left without paying any attention to me..."
"Hmm?" Miao Lei noticed something was wrong. "What do you mean? Didn't you save the little prince? Why are you still looking for him?"
"Yeah, that's what's wrong!" Miao Feng leaned closer. "You know what, big brother? After I chased those hunters away, I wanted to call the police, but that little prince stopped me... He told me not to call the police. He had finally escaped, and if he did, he would be sent back..."
"That's nonsense." Miao Lei rolled his eyes. "He's a prince from another country. If he runs to Yan Country alone and something happens to him, no one can bear the consequences. The superintendent will definitely send him home."
"That's what he said, but the little prince didn't give me the impression of running away from home," Miao Feng said as he recalled, "At that time... Oh, he also said that he had important information to share with the Yan Kingdom, concerning the safety of Emperor Khan and the Hunter Clan. He also asked me if I knew someone... named Yu Cang?"
"Yu Cang?" Miao Lei was stunned. He felt that the name was somewhat familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that his younger sister seemed to have told him about this person in the morning.
Is that a coincidence? Or are they just namesakes?
"Then what?"
"Then... the hunters came with the security guards." Miao Feng smiled awkwardly. "I was about to ask more questions, but when I turned around, I saw that the little prince had just run away... Hey, you may not believe this, but I didn't even notice how he slipped away..."
"Alright." Miao Lei interrupted Miao Feng unhappily. "This incident should serve as a lesson for you. Next time you encounter something like this, report it to the police! Even if what the little prince said is true, we don't need to interfere in other countries' affairs."
"Okay, I understand, big brother..."
Just as the two were talking, a little head suddenly popped in.
"What are you guys talking about?" Miao Xue glanced around. "I think I heard... Yu Cang? Yu Cang is also in Yujiang?"
"...It's nothing, little sister. I'm just listening to Afeng's excuses."
"Brother! What do you mean by quibbling?"
"No matter what the reason is, you're wrong for setting up a stall illegally and hurting people!" Miao Lei's expression became serious. "You still have the nerve to make excuses..."
"Alright, alright, calm down, big brother." Miao Xue quickly grabbed Miao Lei and helped Miao Feng out of the predicament. "Um... you haven't answered me yet. Yu Cang is also in Yujiang?"
Miao Feng glanced at Miao Xue gratefully and quickly took over the conversation: "That's not the case, I just heard the name by chance."
"Is that so... What a pity." Miao Xue puffed out her cheeks. "I was thinking of talking to him... I read that paper about Yingcao Trap, and he definitely has something hidden! If I get a chance to meet him, I'll definitely ask him!"
Miao Lei calmed down a lot after being interrupted. Seeing Miao Xue like this, he couldn't help but say, "Little sister, how are you? Have you figured out how to deal with this major military overhaul?"
"How else can I deal with it? It all depends on my luck." Miao Xue sighed, "I can only pray that the questions won't be too difficult..."
…
After learning about the major armament changes, Yu Cang began to make some targeted preparations.
In fact, it can't be said to be targeted. After all, he doesn't know what the specific questions will be. He can only prepare based on those names and make some guesses.
With the entry recorder, this is not a difficult task.
Then, every afternoon, regardless of wind or rain, he would take Qi'er to the treatment center. With the help of Dr. Ji, he would help Qi'er become familiar with his abilities, and then try to implant the entries.
Strangely enough, although the success rate of implanting legendary entries in the treatment center has increased a lot, it is always changing. Sometimes it can be as high as more than 20%, and sometimes it suddenly drops to 1% or 2%. No matter what formula is used, it is useless.
I don’t know what the reason is that affects this.
However, even at his peak, Yu Cang never succeeded.
No matter how high the probability is, if you don’t win, it’s no different from 0%.
After several visits to the treatment center, Dr. Ji gave Qi'er a bracelet. Wearing it on his wrist, Qi'er's range of movement increased significantly, allowing him to travel a thousand to two kilometers away from Yu Cang. Furthermore, the purple lines no longer appeared when he approached the critical distance.
This distance is enough to basically not affect daily life.
In addition, this bracelet will also serve as a surveillance device. It will record the specific information of each time Qi'er uses his abilities and report it to the treatment bureau. This is to prevent Qi'er from abusing his abilities or losing control after he returns with Yu Cang.
Yu Cang didn't say anything about this. After all, Qi'er was an unfinished banned card, so he still had to be cautious.
"Well... it's almost done..." Yu Cang stretched.
During this period of time, Yu Cang has been trying various attribute formulas, and has basically brought the mechanical card deck to a bottleneck.
There will be no gains in the short term.
In contrast, Yu Cang has used up a considerable number of blank soul cards in the past few days. Every day, Captain Wan takes away a bunch of mechanical soul cards with fancy abilities from Yu Cang's room.
At first, Captain Wan was very shocked. After all, he would check these soul cards after taking them away, and each one had different degrees of innovation!
There are some soul cards that have good effects even in his eyes, but they may not be suitable for major armament changes.
This speed of producing new soul cards...is this still a human being?
He also knew a few card makers, but it was hard for them to learn so many new soul cards every day, let alone create them...
But slowly, his eyes gradually calmed down.
After all, I have seen too much.
Now, whenever he thought of those other card makers, he would shake his head unconsciously.
Apart from Yu Cang, it’s just a bid to sell Seoul.
He knocked on the door and walked into Yu Cang's room. Sure enough, there were some new soul cards in the cardboard box on the table.
"Master Yu Cang, why don't you... take a break?" Wan Quan looked at Yu Cang with some concern. "There are major military upgrades every year. Don't overwork your brain..."
"Don't worry, you won't be tired." Yu Cang smiled.
It's just a matter of using your mind to implant an entry. What's so tiring about that?
At first, he would study the soul cards he was interested in. Later, when he saw new soul cards, he would simply record them and continue to implant them.
"But you're right." Yu Cang stood up, "I'll go out for a walk later and won't be back for dinner."
"Oh, okay."
Yu Cang took Qi'er and left the stronghold.
He originally wanted to call Lin Yunqing, but she was busy studying and did not come with him.
As for what she was learning... Lin Yunqing just laughed and showed an expression that said "It's all your fault."
…
Yu Cang and Qi'er walked hand in hand on the street.
As the Fire Festival approaches, more people are seen on the streets. Shops along the streets have already hung up various colorful lanterns, and on the evening of the Fire Festival, there will be performances and fireworks, which are the customs of the Fire Festival.
The festivals in this world seem to be no different from those in the previous life. Every time this time comes, Yu Cang can always feel a sense of familiarity.
Qi'er held Yu Cang's hand, and from time to time she would be attracted by the street vendors. She would come forward and look at them curiously for a while, and then pull him to the next stall before Yu Cang paid for the things.
"Wow……"
The girl stood in front of a stall, looking at the colorful sugar figures through the glass cover.
Paper lanterns spun gently in the wind under the eaves, casting mottled shadows. The light passed through the sugar figures and refracted into crystal-clear fragments, embellishing the girl's big eyes.
The girl is very happy.
This is time just for her and her brother!
After looking at enough sugar figures, Qi'er swallowed his saliva and continued to pull Yu Cang to the next stall.
At this time, Yu Cang picked up the girl from behind.
"Come on, I'll take you to have some sweet soup." Yu Cang walked into the shop in front of him.
This is a sweet soup shop. Although few people sell sweet soups nowadays, Yu Cangshang was not yet born when they were popular. But precisely because of this, occasionally seeing a sweet soup shop always gives people a sense of retro novelty.
The decoration of this store is also very exquisite. It seems to be imitating the last century, but many trendy concepts can be seen from the details. It can be said to be something like... retro punk?
The display cabinet outside the door filled with sugar figures is just a means to attract customers. After all, if you set up a sugar figure shop in Yujiang in such weather, the sugar figures would probably be covered with sand after people buy some and take them for a walk.
"Boss, two bowls of mango sago."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
There were quite a few people in the shop. Yu Cang was quick-witted and saw a family leave their seats. He immediately rushed over and successfully took the seat!
Qi'er climbed onto the sofa and looked around with curiosity.
At this time.
A voice suddenly came from the side.
"Huh? Yu Cang?"
Yu Cang was stunned for a moment, then sighed.
Ah...why do I keep running into this guy everywhere?
When I turned around, it was indeed that guy Wen Yang.
"What a coincidence, you are here too."
Wen Yang and Hu Chen came over, and he smiled and said, "Is this seat empty? It's a good opportunity for us to chat together."
"No, there is someone here." Yu Cang lied with his eyes open.
The seats in this dessert shop all seat four people, but Yu Cang didn't want to sit with the two of them at this time.
After all, he knew that with Wen Yang's personality, he would definitely talk about his armament upgrade project within three sentences after sitting down.
"Um... Yu Cang, don't be so formal." Wen Yang said with a smile, "I was watching. That girl didn't come out with you today... Hey, I was also at the Shendu Military District's arena that day, and I saw that your Ancient Capital Military District stole the show. How was it? Tell us about it."
Yu Cang chuckled.
Well, we haven’t even sat down yet and we’ve already started talking about the project.
"Sorry, there really is someone here. My friend will be here soon."
"It's okay, let's just sit and rest for a while, and then leave when the food we ordered comes out..."
…
"Brother, I'm here."
"ah?"
Yu Cang was stunned.
Wen Yang and Hu Chen were also slightly stunned.
Qi'er immediately frowned.
The four of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at a figure that suddenly appeared behind them.
This is a young boy with slightly dark skin and freckles on his face. It seems that his body has not fully developed yet, but smooth muscle lines can already be seen.
"Please make way."
The young man squeezed in between Wen Yang and Hu Chen. Hu Chen frowned and tapped the card box on his waist with his fingers, but in the end he did not respond.
"I'm not late, am I, brother?"
The confusion on Yu Cang's face quickly dissipated, and he smiled and nodded: "Well, no... the seat has been reserved for you - sorry, my friends are already here."
Qi'er puffed up his cheeks, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked at the guy who suddenly appeared with great resentment, but did not say a word.
"No, you..." Wen Yang opened his mouth.
Do I look so gullible?
Isn't this just a passerby!
Yu Cang, he thought he had wronged you that day in the arena, but now it seems that you still think I am a fool!
He wanted to say something, but Hu Chen next to him had already grabbed him.
"Yu Cang." Hu Chen grinned. "You're lucky. You're able to get a project like the Armament Overhaul after returning to the Ancient Capital... But unfortunately, with us here, the Mechanical Department of the Ancient Capital won't be able to take first place... Let's go, don't embarrass yourself."
After saying that, he grabbed Wen Yang and turned away.
After leaving the store.
"Hey, no, what are you doing?" Wen Yang rubbed his wrist and hissed, "I haven't finished what I said yet..."
"Don't you understand? They don't want to pay attention to you at all." Hu Chen rolled his eyes. "Don't force yourself. The armaments have been greatly improved. Let's speak with strength."
…
In the dessert shop.
Yu Cang and the other two looked at each other.
Suddenly, Qi'er hugged Yu Cang's arm and made a fierce expression towards the boy opposite:
“This is my brother!”
"Uh...hahaha..." The boy raised his hands and laughed dryly. "Well, sorry, I mean no harm, and I don't want to steal your brother..."
Yu Cang rubbed Qi'er's little head and said, "Okay, Qi'er, your brother can't take you away from me."
Hearing this, Qi'er's expression eased slightly, but he still snorted and didn't look at the boy opposite him.
"By the way, Mr. Yu Cang," the young man suddenly said, "Excuse me... Is your father's name Yu Shuhong?"
Yu Cang paused.
Then, he slowly turned his head.
"Yes...what do you mean?"
"Excuse me, please allow me to introduce myself first." The young man glanced around nervously, then leaned closer and said mysteriously, "My name is Lou Yan, and I'm the youngest prince of the Hunter Clan's royal court..."
Thanks to Hungry Clown for the tip!
I want to go out and play during the May Day holiday, so the updates may be a little slow in the next two days. I will update more when I come back!
