Chapter 25
The man was tall, with a hideous scar covering almost his entire face. His mouth was tilted at an exaggerated angle, revealing his blackened teeth. Behind him were several fierce-looking men, each holding a weapon.
Someone immediately made way and stood aside tremblingly, leaving no sound wherever they went.
When Deng Hailong saw the person coming, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and a bad premonition came to his mind.
He moved in front of Ye Qing and whispered in a tone that only the two of them could hear, "This man is called Xie Daoba. He is one of the few high-level psychics in the shelter. His psychic power is lightning, and combined with his knife, it is extremely powerful. He is very powerful and has a bad temper, so we... don't dare to offend him."
As he said the last sentence, he looked at the slender young boss and began to worry about her.
People with special abilities can sense each other. He knew that Ye Qing had no special abilities, and that he must have a magic weapon to be able to produce so many treasures. Normally, they would avoid Xie Daoba when they saw him, let alone go against this brutal high-level person with special abilities.
Xie Daoba slowly walked to the front of the stall. The strong air pressure prevented anyone from approaching within 10 meters behind him.
But what comforted Ye Qing was that Deng Hailong and his five teammates not only did not leave, but also stood in front of her, covering her tightly. One young man even had his thighs trembling, but he still stepped forward without hesitation.
Xie Daoba glanced at the people in front of him and lowered his head to stroke his sword, his tone full of disdain: "Just you guys?"
Then he sneered and cursed, "You don't know your own limitations."
A thug behind him immediately responded, "Be smart and hand over this shabby car and that magic weapon immediately, otherwise..."
Deng Hailong frowned. If this magic weapon was given to Xie Daoba, it would be no different from being in Shanhai City. Not to mention the ordinary people, even they would never have the opportunity to buy food at a low price.
We must not let Xie Daoba get it, we must fight no matter what.
Deng Hailong and his companions exchanged glances and drew their weapons in unison: "Come on!"
Xie Daoba raised his head and laughed contemptuously, then raised one hand and stretched out two fingers to make an attacking gesture.
The battle was about to break out. Deng Hailong and his five men fought against the three subordinates. They were indeed a team of high-level psychics. Even though it was three against five, they were clearly at the upper hand.
Ye Qing showed up. Xie Daoba looked him up and down, and said in a mocking tone: "Are you going to hand it over to me, or should I go get it? If I go to get it, you won't have..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of air turned into billions of sharp needles and pierced towards him. Xie Daoba's eyes suddenly widened with an expression of disbelief. At the same time, he dragged the knife with one hand and chopped the incoming sharp needles.
"You...how could you?"
Ye Qing had never fought face to face with a high-level psychic before. As the situation was too awkward to control, he only used a small portion of his strength, but he still pushed Xie Daoba back several meters.
Xie Daoba responded to Ye Qing's move with difficulty, his eyes became serious, and his eyes were burning like fire.
His tone was filled with strong dissatisfaction: "Just now I was not prepared, and you tricked me. Now - I will let you know what it means to live a life worse than death!"
Ye Qing dusted himself off without even glancing at him: "Stop nagging."
Xie Daoba was so angry that his superpowers exploded on the spot. His tight muscles bulged outwards, and frightening lightning instantly emitted from his body. Even the blade of his machete was buzzing.
Deng Hailong, who had been paying attention to Ye Qing's situation, was now anxious. He wanted to help the young boss, but was stopped by his opponent before he could take a step.
"Your opponent is me!"
The opponent pressed on step by step, each move targeting his vital points. He couldn't be careless, so he had no choice but to resist. Today shouldn't be so bad, right? The good days are over before they even began!
On Ye Qing's side, Xie Daoba erupted with powerful superpowers, and the onlookers in the outer circle retreated more than ten meters away. Some kind-hearted people shouted and advised: "Little boss, you'd better run away quickly, or you can surrender. Your life is more important!"
Some of them had seen Ye Qing fight against the giant, but the giant was just a famous bully on the third underground level. The one in front of them was one of the best high-level psychics in Shanhai City. A high-level psychic was comparable to an army, so it was clear who would win and who would lose.
Xie Daoba heard the shout and smiled evilly: "It's too late!"
After saying that, the lightning ability began to activate, and several lightning bolts spontaneously sought targets and attacked Ye Qing.
Everyone held their breath, expecting to see a blackened corpse.
At the critical moment, the young boss stretched out his hands and borrowed the lightning! Not only did he catch the lightning, he also rolled it into a ball, then turned his hands and threw the lightning at Xie Daoba like shooting a basketball.
The lightning was faster than the speed of the attack. Xie Daoba had no way to avoid it and fell to the ground in an instant after being hit by the powerful force of thunder. His strong body twitched violently and his eyes bulged out extremely, as if saying "How is this possible".
The ending was suddenly reversed. The three men saw their boss being subdued so easily, and the fear in their hearts made them begin to feel powerless. Ye Qing did not let them go either. He pinched back a few strands of lightning released by Xie Daoba and threw them at the three men.
Deng Hailong's team saw Xie Daoba and his men being knocked down instantly by Ye Qing, and they were instantly impressed. They ran back to the bus, calling "Boss" "Hehehe", but their eyes looked like a stupid dog asking for meat from its owner.
Ye Qing waved his hand, not caring about the shocked looks of the people around him: "Okay, let's get to work!"
Deng Hailong and his companions received the instructions and immediately shouted, "Ahem, the crisis is over. Everyone, please line up and buy things!"
Everyone who reacted immediately came to their senses and lined up obediently, but they also left more messages to Ye Qing in private.
"Subduing a high-level psychic in one second! That's incredible!"
"Multiple abilities, the level cannot be seen, but it is higher than the high level."
"Oh my god, this is the most awesome boss I've ever met. I'll definitely go the right way if I follow her!"
Bus tickets sold very quickly, but most of the buyers were ordinary people, mainly because of the rule that "when middle and high-level psychics go out, their family members must be pledged in the city." However, there were also many lonely psychics who came to seek refuge.
After the tickets were sold out, Ye Qing helped them sell food. When the supplies on the bus were sold out, she bought several more batches from the system, but they still sold out quickly. People who had bought food tried the food and called their friends, bringing in a new batch of customers.
Ye Qing, Deng Hailong and the other five were so busy that they only had time to eat some Snickers to fill their stomachs before welcoming a new batch of customers.
They have to take charge of 6 buses at night, which are very dangerous and require high concentration. They need time to rest well.
Nearing 4 o'clock, Ye Qing put out the last batch of supplies from the car and told the people in line: "This is the last batch. We will not sell them anymore after they are sold out! Those who come later can go back first."
Although it was a pity, no one complained. Ye Qing's reputation had spread, and no one dared to challenge her. Besides, those who didn't buy the item could also bid higher prices to buy it from neighbors who had bought it. With so many people coming, the probability that neighbors had bought the item was still quite high.
After the last customer left, the six people packed up their belongings and collapsed exhausted on the bus seats. Ye Qing gave each of them a bottle of water and a portion of the food sold today.
Deng Hailong's team were not the pretentious sort, and they excitedly took the food and started eating. They gulped down a bottle of water, and then crunched a Snickers bar. They wolfed down the food, saying "delicious, delicious" over and over again.
After drinking the clear and sweet spring water, his smoking throat immediately felt much better. Deng Hailong wiped the remaining water stains from the corners of his mouth and asked, "Boss, why do we have to limit the quantity? Wouldn't we make more money if we didn't limit it?"
After saying that, the other people also stared at Ye Qing. What they lacked most in their lives was money, and they could not understand why they should not make money even if they had it.
Ye Qing tightened the bottle cap and explained, "Only a small amount is valuable. What I need is for them to come to my shelter and spend money for a long time, not just for a short-term benefit."
"Once they've tasted the food, they'll definitely want to try it a second time. But I'm selling it in limited quantities. If they run out, who will they think of? They'll definitely come back to my shelter. Once they're there, there are plenty of ways to make money!"
"The boss is wise!"
"Hehe, we are really good at finding a good boss."
Ye Qing interrupted their flattery: "No need for compliments, everyone, take this time to rest first. The bus leaves at 5 o'clock, and you will have to work hard tonight!"
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard!”
"I really enjoy this job. It's much more fun than hunting. You don't know that Captain takes us hunting, but we only catch one out of ten times... Hey, Captain, I'm not saying anything bad about you. It's just that we're too bad. Uh, no, I'm the one who's too bad!"
There was laughter and joy in the bus. Tang Chao paused as he walked outside the door. A ripple began to appear on his face, which had never smiled for years. It should be quite interesting to work in such an atmosphere.
"Hey, Brother Tang, you're here. And uncle and aunt, how are you doing recently?" The sharp-eyed Deng Hailong saw the figure standing outside the door and immediately stepped forward to support him.
Tang's mother, father, and son were almost at opposite ends of the spectrum. Their faces were filled with smiles, and they all looked cheerful. "I'm fine. Thank you for caring so much about my son and for not forgetting him even with such a good thing."
Deng Hailong took the opportunity to praise his boss again: "Oh, it's our boss who has good vision and selected Brother Tang as such a good seedling."
Tang's mother was about to step forward and bow: "So this is your boss, young and beautiful, thank you so much!"
Ye Qing quickly stopped talking and said modestly, "It's nothing."
Tang Chao was the last one to get on the bus. As soon as she stepped onto the last step, she saw a familiar face. She was leaning back in a chair, her long legs stretched out comfortably, and she had a lazy smile on her face.
"Brother Tang, what are you standing there for? Go call the boss! The boss said the guarding of Shanhai City is now in your hands!"
Tang Chao woke up as if from a dream, his previous guess was confirmed, it turned out to be her!
