Chapter 73: Subjugating the younger brother
As soon as they reached the sixth floor, the usually well-behaved Qiao Man suddenly moved, pointing the tip of her tail behind Qiao Qiao, and her dark green body was gradually permeated with traces of red.
There's someone behind! Qiao Qiao immediately understood the hint.
She merged her mind with Yueying's and ran down a few floors at a faster speed. The next second, she was swallowed up by the shadow space.
Not daring to alert the enemy, the two people who were three floors behind could only speed up when they heard the hurried footsteps. Unfortunately, they did not find any trace of Qiao Qiao when they ran to the first floor.
"Where are the people?" The bald man stuck his head out of the building and looked around. It was noon and the temperature had risen to 50℃. No one would go out at this time. There was no one outside except all kinds of garbage.
He shuddered, "Did I see a ghost?"
The mustache man slapped him on the back of the head. "What nonsense! According to Master Wang, she is a card drawer. This is just the ability of the card."
"Yes, yes, yes." The bald man didn't dare to retort, "What should we do now? How are we going to explain to Master Wang that we lost him?
"Tell me the truth." The man with the mustache spat on the ground. "Damn it, it's a waste of time in such a hot day. Go back quickly!"
Just as I was about to turn around, a voice came from behind.
"Where do you want to go?"
"ah!"
The bald man and the man with a mustache jumped in fright, and when they turned around they saw a strange and enchanting fox demon mask.
“Who are you?”
Qiao Qiao sneered, "Aren't you looking for me, Wang Louyun's running dog?"
The man with the mustache quickly denied the person, "I, we don't know any Wang Louyun."
The bald man also reacted and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we just came down to get some fresh air."
"Really..." Qiao Qiao tilted her head.
The two of them just saw hope when they heard the tone, but fell into the abyss the next second.
"But I don't believe it, so I won't tell you."
She raised her hand slightly, and Qiao Man immediately swelled up. Her huge body filled the entire corridor, lifting the two people's limbs in the air, and the vines around their necks gradually tightened.
The bald man's face turned red, and he begged for mercy, "Don't, don't kill me, I said."
"Just say that." She didn't let Qiao Man put him down, but just gave him some space.
The bald man coughed a few times and blurted out everything, "Mr. Wang, no! Wang Louyun privately offered a reward of 500 contribution points for a young woman named Qiao Qiao. Just now, I heard the two sellers call you Miss Qiao, and I was tempted. Please forgive me, I won't dare to do it again."
The more he spoke, the more frightened he became. He didn't understand why he would dare to target Wang Louyun when a grown-up young master like her was already injured. He finally burst into tears.
Qiao Qiao fell into deep thought. The night is long and dreams are many. Wang Louyun must solve it.
But, what about these two people?
Kill him? It's not a capital crime.
Let them go? They are unwilling to do so. A dog will always eat shit. They might hurt others in the future.
The man with the mustache saw Qiao Qiao's melancholy and immediately expressed his loyalty, "Sir, please let us go. We swear that we will never hurt anyone again."
Suddenly, a voice appeared in my head, "I can control their shadows."
[Skill: Shadow Puppet
The shadow of the contracted person can be controlled at will, and monitored and controlled at any time.
Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up. With this skill, it would be easier to move around.
Then, under the horrified gaze of the bald man and the mustache, the shadow under Qiao Qiao's feet twisted and flowed, lightly touched the shadows of the two, and immediately left, obviously full of disgust.
[Contract Success]
The two were stunned for a moment, and then their faces became colorful like a palette. It was obvious that they both knew the effect of the contract.
Qiao Qiao: "As you wish."
Qiao Man relaxed and let the two of them fall to the ground, shrinking back to Qiao Qiao's wrist.
They didn't dare to resist and knelt on the ground. "From now on, we two brothers will obey your orders."
Qiao Qiao looked at them coldly, "I only have one request for you, don't continue to hurt people, can you do it?"
The two nodded repeatedly, sweat dripping from their foreheads in an environment of more than 40 degrees Celsius, "Yes, yes."
After Qiao Qiao added them as friends, he said, "One more thing. You guys need to help me monitor Wang Louyun and Paradise's actions at all times and report to me at all times."
The man with the mustache hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Yes, but I'm afraid we are no match for him."
Qiao Qiao brushed off the dust on his body and said, "You don't have to do anything. You just need to monitor it."
They are now Yueying's puppets and cannot reveal anything about Him without His permission.
Qiao Qiao left, leaving the bald man and the mustache looking at each other in bewilderment.
…
With four backpack expansion cards, Qiao Xinghe’s backpack grid is unlocked to 50*50.
Five agricultural facility cards were given to Qiao Huizhou. With these cards, it would be more convenient to harvest from the planting space.
Automatic seeder, automatic harvester, automatic rice transplanter, automatic thresher, grain dryer, all in one step from sowing to drying.
Qiao Qiao contacted Zhang Bingbing, who revealed the black market information to her.
An abandoned office building.
There were more than 30 people sitting in the room, with an ice cube placed in the middle. Unfortunately, due to the large number of people, the effect was minimal.
Everyone was sweating profusely, and the elderly were fanning the children with palm-leaf fans.
"Grandma, please don't fan me. I'm not hot. Fan yourself." After several failed attempts to refuse, one of the children, who had a red spot on his face, changed his seat. The old lady waved her hand and said, "Grandma, I'm not hot. Be good and come and sit here."
The red-spotted child shook his head, "No, you are sweating all over. Mother Fang said that lying makes people grow longer noses."
"Haha." The others laughed when they heard it.
Several kids put their heads together to read the messages in the chat channel.
The older boy asked, "Did anyone get back to you?"
The short-haired girl said in a low voice, "Ah, no."
The girl with a crew cut patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay, maybe it will come soon."
The short-haired girl refreshed a message and said, "Someone replied!"
The others quickly came closer, "What did you say!"
The short-haired girl was stunned for a moment after seeing this, and looked at the others aggrievedly, "He scolded me."
"ah?"
The girl repeated what the other party said, "He said that you need to hand in contribution points to enter the black market, and called me a liar."
The girl with the crew cut scratched her head. "Um, did Mrs. Fang say anything about contribution points?"
Others shook their heads, "No."
Short-haired girl: "I don't know. They acted secretly and didn't tell us anything. Even the black market was overheard by my brother."
"Why"
The short-haired girl suddenly sat up straight. "Ah! Someone replied to me again, saying thank you for my message and that she found the black market."
Others urged, "Zhang Bingbing, quickly ask her if she has met Mother Fang and Father Li."
"Then have you seen two people? A man and a woman, trading cards."
Qiao Qiao raised her eyebrows. It couldn't be such a coincidence. "Are you talking about Li Mo and Fang Hui?"
Zhang Bingbing screamed and stood up. When she realized that everyone in the room was looking at her, she sat down quietly and whispered to her friends, "She knows Fang's mother and Li's father."
"Yes, can you tell me if they are okay? Are they being bullied?"
Bullying? Qiao Qiao laughed out loud. Apart from a pervert like Wang Louyun, no one would offend a high-level card drawer.
She roughly guessed the other party's identity and showed more patience towards the elderly, the weak, women and children. "Don't worry, they are all fine."
"thank you."
After seeing the reply, Zhang Bingbing cried and told others.
291 days after the end of the world.
Qiao Huizhou accumulated enough energy for a ten-draw and drew an R-level card.
[R-level card Invisibility Cloak*1 (trial version)]
The trial version is a one-time use and can only last for 30 minutes. If used properly, it can have miraculous effects.
Qiao Qiao drew three blind boxes, all of which were travel cards.
N-level cards are for bicycles, N-level cards are for skateboards, and R-level cards are for car batteries.
The car battery can match all cars with less than seven seats and can withstand temperatures from 100℃ to -100℃.
After the Wang Louyun incident, Qiao Qiao realized that she was being targeted. No one could hurt her because she had Yueying to protect her, but it was different for her parents.
Qiao Man is the card she drew. Although she can obey orders and protect her parents, it is not a solution after all.
Xiao Qiao could do it, but she is playful and naive, so she might be careless.
Copy Cards Once a month, the R-level card copy opportunity will choose Solar Shield.
[Solar Shield: After fully charged, it can form a 360-degree protective sphere that can block attacks such as live ammunition and artillery shells. Number of uses: 3]
Two Solar Shield cards, one for each person, are equivalent to three lives.
The temperature rises to 55℃ during the day and drops to 45℃ at night. Everyone keeps the habit of staying indoors during the day and going out at night.
People have not yet escaped from the extreme cold, and now they have to face the torture of extreme heat.
There is wailing in the chat channel every day.
"It's so hot, I feel like I'm dying."
"I got a heat stroke at home and have vomited four times. Does anyone have any heat stroke medicine?"
"Is the hospital closed? What should I do if my child collapses?"
"I have Patchouli X aerated water, trade it for 50 ice cubes."
"50?! That's half of an R-level card! Why don't you go grab it?"
"If you go out, you'll die of heat. If you don't go out, you'll starve to death. Either way, you'll die."
"I'm so thirsty. Now I can drink several bottles of water a day."
The best-selling items in the trading market are water and extreme heat related medicines, each of which is priced sky-high.
Qiao Qiao would occasionally put some items on the shelves for trading that he couldn't use temporarily, such as flashlights, vases, gems, etc.
In addition, the corridor is not peaceful, with quarrels and disturbances happening every day.
The only gain was the information from the bald guy and the one with the mustache.
"Sir, Wang Louyun got the news from somewhere and knows where you live. He has gathered four R-level card drawers and is preparing to set off tomorrow night."
Qiao Qiao frowned, and many people flashed through his mind, including his former neighbors and the soldiers who came to board the ship, all of whom might have leaked the information.
The only people she did not doubt were the Tang brothers and sisters.
After many days of getting to know their personalities, I realized that the key point was that Tang Mingli possessed an SR-level card and had long been a guest of honor at the Special Management Bureau.
They should be able to guess that they are most likely SR-level card drawers and would not be blinded by the benefits offered by Wang Louyun.
Xia Momo?
Probably not, she seems like someone who would repay a favor.
Qiao Qiao sent a message to Moustache, "Do you have any information about those card drawers?"
The man with the mustache replied: "I know one person, but I haven't found out about the rest."
Qiao Qiao took out the anti-heat medicine she had prepared earlier, five boxes of Patchouli X-flavor water, and five boxes of cooling oil, and gave them to the other party.
"Help me find out and tell me before tomorrow night. I'll give you half after it's done."
The man with the moustache looked at the medicines in his hand with surprise. Any one of them would cause quite a commotion no matter which one he took out.
"Don't worry, I will complete the task!"
