...
What a mess!
Lu Xingchen raised his hand: "Stop, stop, stop. Is there any useful information? For example, has anyone mentioned crystals?"
Little Fish: "Crystal wafers? What are crystal wafers?"
Little Fish: "I don't know, I've never heard of it."
Lu Xingchen sighed that the NPCs coming and going here were all very tight-lipped.
Seeing that he could not get any new information, Lu Xingchen was extremely disappointed and wanted to leave.
Suddenly, a soft voice rang out: "I know some new information, about crystals..."
Lu Xingchen was overjoyed and carefully examined the little fish inside: "Okay, tell me about it."
The soft sound came from a small, deep blue fish. It was thin, with a body no more than 2 centimeters long, and a beautiful, long tail.
Little Blue Fish: "This morning, someone had an argument with the store owner downstairs. He was very angry and said he had lost something extremely important. He suspected that the store owner's thief had stolen it. The store owner was very angry, but he said he didn't have any thieves. Anyway, the argument got really intense."
Lu Xingchen asked patiently, "And then?"
Little Blue Fish: "The shop owner cursed, 'Aren't you just a professional scammer? Who would want your lousy stuff?'"
Lu Xingchen hesitated for a moment: "Is this a staged accident?"
Could it be that old man with the white beard?
Suddenly, a little fish said, "You're lying! How could you hear the argument downstairs? You have super hearing!"
Little Yellow Croaker: "Exactly! We're always chattering away, but you never say a word. Aren't you mute?"
Little Red Fish: "We can only hear people talking a few meters away. You can hear people downstairs? You're bragging!"
"Yes," Lu Xingchen said, glancing at the little blue fish.
The downstairs is far away, and there's soundproofing from the floor. Does Little Blue Fish have such good hearing?
The little blue fish said confidently, "I can hear it, Master. My hearing is excellent. I can hear clearly within two or three hundred meters of the fish tank!"
Lu Xingchen was startled.
That's incredible hearing!
The other little fish were not convinced and started chattering, accusing the little blue fish of bragging.
The little blue fish ignored it and wagged its tail: "Master, there's been a little dispute about 100 meters downstairs. The guards are on their way. Why don't you go take a look?"
Lu Xingchen walked to the window and opened it.
Sure enough, in the market about 100 meters away, the girl in red and the tall man were talking about something, while two guards, one holding an iron chain and the other extremely impatient, were seen.
The little blue fish was right.
Lu Xingchen returned to the fish tank.
The little blue fish wagged its tail: "Master, I overheard the shopkeeper talking about crystals with that person, and I also know that person's temporary address..."
Lu Xingchen was overjoyed: "Go ahead."
Little Blue Fish: "Can you grant me one request?"
Lu Xingchen was surprised. This guy was actually asking for something? Little Blue Fish was quite intelligent!
Lu Xingchen: "Tell me about it?"
Little Blue Fish: "I've been in this fish tank all day. I only see the same roof and tables and chairs every day. I can hear the outside world and I want to go out and see it. Can you help me move to a different place?"
The other little fish chirped and chattered:
"Why go outside? It's so cold outside. You'll freeze to death if you go outside."
"Exactly! It's so warm and cozy here, and the shop owner feeds us every day. What a wonderful life!"
"There are a lot of bad guys like Big Face outside, they especially love to eat little fish!"
Lu Xingchen had also thought of that.
She could put the little fish in a room in the inn, and then she would only be able to see the fixed roof.
If you put the small fish in the market or in the yard, the water in the fish tank will freeze long ago, and the small fish will not survive.
Oh, right, the fish tank!
Temperature-controlled fish tank!
If she puts the small fish in a temperature-controlled aquarium, she won't have to worry about them getting frostbite.
Moreover, the temperature-controlled fish tank can be moved around freely, allowing the small fish to eavesdrop anywhere.
Wonderful!
