Chapter 224 A Chance Encounter
After the store name was finalized, Qiao Yu handed the important task of designing the store brand to Ding Baian.
"The market management office has staff specifically responsible for setting up shop signs. You can go take a look later. Just tell me how many crystal cores you need."
"No need, boss." Ding Baian waved his hand. "I checked yesterday. The best brand only costs fifty crystal cores. You don't have to pay this little bit. Just consider it our token of loyalty to you!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu and the other three became even more satisfied with Ding Bo'an. He had actually found out everything before coming here. He really was reliable!
Qiao Yu thought about it and finally did not refuse, "Okay. Then I'll trouble you with this matter."
After Ding Baian left, the four of them had nothing to do, so they went to the Mercenary Hunter Center to see if there were any suitable tasks they could take on.
The mission center usually has peak traffic hours in the morning and evening.
The four of them didn't come here early today, and they thought that most of the mercenary hunting teams had already completed their missions and set off.
But unexpectedly, as soon as I walked in, I saw a group of people gathered together, and someone among them whispered: "Hey, is that the guy?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Tsk, I thought natural-type mutants were so special, but this one looks just so-so."
"Shh! Keep your voice down! You're risking your life! That's a natural mutant!"
…
Qiao Yu and the other three heard the discussions around them, looked at each other, and then looked at the central figure being discussed.
"Is that the water-based alien I heard about last time?" Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows and looked the man up and down.
The man's appearance was not outstanding. He was of medium height, had a dark complexion, and his facial features were not delicate. If he were in a crowd, he would be completely drowned in the crowd.
The only thing that is quite noticeable is probably the look of "I am the best" on his face.
When he walked, he held his neck high, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was a natural mutant.
"I guess it's correct." Qiao Yu also raised his eyebrows and answered in a low voice.
You can tell it's him by looking at his arrogant behavior.
"You're really ostentatious." Cheng Sinian curled his lips and smiled nonchalantly.
Qiao Yu didn't comment, but looking at the few people in the crowd around him whose expressions and movements were obviously different from those of ordinary people, Qiao Yu smacked his lips and curled the corners of his lips slightly, "Tsk tsk. It's really not easy for him to stay here until now."
The four of them had no intention of making friends with this water-type alien who didn't look very smart, so they avoided the crowd and took a detour to the mission hall inside.
But how does the saying go?
You don't look for trouble, but trouble looks for you.
Just as the four of them were checking the task panel, the water alien happened to stop next to them.
"Two beautiful ladies, what are your names? May I introduce myself?"
Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen looked at the "black potatoes" in front of them, their faces slightly frozen.
If I had known this, I wouldn’t have gone out today. What bad luck!
Qiao Yu has never been one to judge people by their appearance, but the expression of the man in front of him is really too annoying.
How can I describe it...it's really both vulgar and domineering.
Qiao Yu didn't know how he managed to blend these two temperaments so perfectly.
"Brother, are those eyes of yours for breathing?" Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant. "Are you trying to steal my girlfriend right in front of us?"
The man still looked arrogant and sneered at Cheng Sinian, "Brother, it seems your intelligence is not very good. Let me tell you, my last name is Li Pingwei."
Cheng Sinian frowned, "So?"
Li Pingwei was stunned when he saw that the four people didn't show any shock or awe on their faces. Then he shouted loudly: "...I am Li Pingwei! Li Pingwei, the Water Elemental Alien!"
Cheng Sinian still frowned, "I understand, so what?"
Li Pingwei was even more surprised when he saw this.
Why are these people so nonchalant? Why aren't they afraid of him?
Cheng Sinian snorted, looking as if he wanted to have a good argument with him. "What's wrong with being a naturalist? Can a naturalist justify stealing someone else's girlfriend?"
Hearing this, Li Pingwei felt that Cheng Sinian had publicly insulted him and was furious. "What are you talking about! You're just a pretty boy, and you dare to yell at me like that!"
As Li Pingwei spoke, he raised his hand and shot a very fast stream of water towards Cheng Sinian.
Cheng Sinian didn't fight back, but dodged the attack deftly, then shouted exaggeratedly, "Someone's being beaten! A water-type alien is beating people in public!"
When Cheng Sinian howled, more and more onlookers gathered around him, and soon attracted the staff of the Mercenary Hunter Center.
Due to the brave performance of Qiao Yu and others before, they were honored to have gained a certain reputation among the staff of the Mercenary Hunter Center.
Moreover, they are Yu Qingchuan's teammates, so the staff will hardly offend them.
But the current situation is very awkward, because almost everyone in the base knows that Li Pingwei has a special identity and is a person that the higher-ups value very much...
When it comes to the two sides, they really don't know who to side with.
It's really a fight between the kings of hell, and the little devils suffer!
In fact, Cheng Sinian had no other intentions. He knew very well that the base would definitely not offend Li Pingwei now.
But he has never been a person who likes to swallow his anger, especially since Li Pingwei is someone who is easily pushed to the limit. If he is not killed this time, he will most likely harass Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen even more.
So he just wanted to let Li Pingwei know that they were not the kind of people who would allow him to do whatever he wanted.
Cheng Sinian knew to hold back, but Li Pingwei didn't. Even when the staff came over and tried to mediate, Li Pingwei continued to harass him, shouting, "All of you, get out of my way! I'm going to teach this ignorant pretty boy a lesson today!"
"Sir, please calm down. Fighting is prohibited in this base!" The staff member continued to dissuade him. "If you start fighting again, it will alert the military!"
Li Pingwei shook off the staff member's hand and continued shouting, "Alarm me if you want! I'm afraid you won't alarm me!"
"Go find Feng Xing! He said he would take care of me! Is this how he takes care of me?!"
Feng Xing?
Qiao Yu, who had been watching coldly from the side, suddenly raised her eyebrows when she heard the name. If she remembered correctly, this seemed to be the name of the commander of the Western Legion.
Judging from what Li Pingwei said... Commander Feng has already contacted him and seemed to have made some promises to him?
What about the other two commanders?
Li Pingwei didn't mention it because they hadn't made any promises, or because they hadn't made any contact yet?
