Chapter 90: The strange landlord was waiting for them to come and take it?
Before Bai could figure out what was going on, the sound of a door opening was heard, followed by footsteps getting closer and closer until they stopped on the other side of a curtain.
This time there was no hiding, and the figure behind the curtain walked out. It was a young man with a round figure. His smooth and chubby face looked especially like the snow-white steamed bean paste buns made by Nan Qi. It was very pleasing, but it made Bai frown.
Because he couldn't even tell what race the figure that walked out from behind the curtain was.
The Zerg are connected to each other, the Rock Tribe have patterns on their bodies, the Illusion Tribe have diamond patterns on their foreheads, the Plant Tribe relies on the Illusion Tribe to transform, and although they look similar to them, they have plants on their heads that represent their race. As for the Human Tribe, they either have four arms and three eyes, or have some animal characteristics. The other races are very different from them and can be recognized at a glance.
But the figure before him looked exactly like any other, yet he didn't sense any trace of their kind...
Is there some high-tech equipment in the building that blocks the senses, or is it that the figure in front of me does not belong to any known race?
Unconcerned with Bai's scrutiny, the figure before him sat down, his chubby face beaming with a festive expression. "Greetings, gentlemen. I'm Special Eight, the special supervisor of Fengshengheli Tower. You can just call me Old Eight."
"Lao Ba, this name is interesting. There are seven people before you?" Bai didn't say anything. Nan Qi sat up straighter. The two words "Lao Ba" circled around in his mouth before he spit it out, sounding pleasant.
Lao Ba touched his belly and looked at Nan Qi with a smile: "Sir, you are amazing. There are indeed seven people ahead of me. I already know your intentions. Since you have already paid the corresponding remuneration, Fengshenghelilou will certainly not breach the contract."
As he spoke, he pointed at the ring on his finger, and a palm-sized star brain appeared in his hand. He then held the star brain in both hands and handed it to Nan Qi and Bai.
Bai blinked, never expecting Nan Qi's sudden inspiration to actually get something for nothing. He was stunned. What on earth did this Fengshenghelilou mean?
"All the information you need is here in Fengshengheli Tower. You two can take it away directly." Teba seemed not to notice Bai's inquiring look. He sat very dignified and even sucked in his bulging belly to make himself look slimmer. "But Laoba has an unwelcome request."
"Unwelcome request?" Nan Qi leaned over, lying on Bai's shoulder like a boneless person, but he picked up the Star Brain in Lao Ba's palm and threw it into the air before catching it again, saying playfully, "What kind of unreasonable request do you mean?"
Old Eight smiled before he spoke: "It's not a difficult matter. I just ask you two gentlemen to pretend that you have not been to Fengshengheli Tower today."
"What does Special Eight Supervisor mean by this?" Bai's eyes flashed like lightning.
There is almost no creature who comes to Fengshengheli Tower to buy information and does not want to hide his identity. After all, no one wants the news of what information he has bought to spread. Therefore, even if the special eight supervisor does not mention it, Bai and his team will not publicize it.
Special Eight wouldn't be unaware of this, yet they brought it up separately, even making an "unwelcome request," and then giving them the information they wanted so easily...
Bai couldn't help but be alert when seeing such strange behavior.
Teba noticed Bai's vigilance and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sir. Fengshenghelilou is open for business, so it won't be disadvantageous to our customers. But I believe that our customers also know that Fengshenghelilou has never asked for such a ridiculous fee, so..."
Te Ba didn't say the rest of the words, but Bai understood. It seemed that the special supervisor of Fengshengheli Building also felt that this transaction was embarrassing and didn't want to mention it.
So why did they make this ridiculous deal?
Bai looked at Teba suspiciously, and suddenly remembered Nan Qi's theory about crazy illegitimate fans, and his expression became a little ugly.
No way, is it really that disgusting?
Although Bai is not feeling well, the information is already in hand, so it is better to withdraw first.
Nodding to Teba, Bai pulled Nan Qi up and was about to leave, fearing that if he was a step late, he would become the target of the man who wanted Goss's underwear.
It's not that he is proud. Nan Qi is a hundred times better than Goss. His perversion cannot be explained by common sense. Maybe he will really fall in love with Nan Qi.
There are heavy guards at the place where Goss lives, so it is difficult to steal his underwear. However, there are few guards at his general's mansion, so don't let any random person sneak in and steal Nan Qi's underwear.
When Bai thought of that possibility, all the hairs on his body stood up.
No, absolutely not, we have to run fast.
Thinking of this, Bai's men quickly and carefully put the cloak on Nan Qi, and then pulled Nan Qi out of the Fengshengheli Tower. Naturally, they did not notice the background where the special officer 8 was watching them running away, with an indescribable expression in his eyes.
After Bai and Nan Qi disappeared completely, Teba collapsed to the ground in an extremely ungraceful manner, looking up at the ceiling. "Brother, what on earth does the OP want to do? Isn't it embarrassing to give away information for free? If you want to give away information for free, why not just set the price lower?"
A white hand reached out from behind the curtain and knocked on his head, causing Teba to let out a cry of pain. A deep voice echoed in the room:
"Silly, the price is too low, the news is long gone, can I still wait for them to come and pick it up?"
"What do you mean?" Teba rolled over, his fat belly spread out on the ground like a pancake. "Did the host wait for them to come and pick it up? What's the host's relationship with them?"
"Who knows?" After a moment of silence, a deep voice rang out, "We just need to follow orders. You and I don't need to know the rest, and there's no need to be curious. Xiao Ba, you're too curious."
"Oh, I know, big brother. I know our lives were given by the OP. I won't question any of the OP's decisions. I'm just curious." Teba rolled on the ground, not at all diplomatic in front of Bai and Nanqi. "The OP also likes us to have more independent ideas. Big brother, please don't be so rigid."
The eldest brother did not answer, but just grabbed Teba's ear and twisted it.
Teba shouted exaggeratedly, and then said in a low voice: "Stop pretending, get up and go to work."
As soon as the words fell, the white hand let go of Teba's ear, and the sound of a door opening was heard behind the curtain.
Teba didn't get up immediately. He pulled aside the curtain and stared blankly at the wide-open door behind it. After a long while, he touched his ear and murmured with a hint of regret and dejection, "Don't they look alike? I think they do."

After Bai pulled Nan Qi out of the Fengshengheli Tower, he took Nan Qi directly out of the black market. This time they did not take the passage of Rupert's Auction House, but went to another public passage that cost a small amount of crystal stones to get out.
After going out, they were in a remote location. Bai put away the cloaks and masks on himself and Nan Qi, summoned their vehicles on the Star Brain, and then took Nan Qi to a candy store near the exit to wait.
Nan Qi followed Bai obediently, watching Bai buy all kinds of candies. He then pulled Bai to sit in the booth at the back of the store before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Nan Qi saw that his face was much more relaxed, so he poured him a cup of hot tea brought by the waiter. After watching him drink it, he said, "Is this Bai shop yours?"
"?" Bai's eyes widened. "How did you know?"
"So I guessed right?" Nan Qi took out a candy from the shopping bag, peeled it, and put it into Bai's mouth. "Because you are very relaxed, you only show this expression at home.
And after you came in, the waiter hung a sign on the door saying "Closed," but didn't kick us out. And..."
Nan Qi's eyes were full of smiles. Looking at Bai, whose face was red from ears to neck after being exposed by him, he continued, "And Bai, you really like sweet things. The assets in the account linked to me are not something that can be saved by a general's salary."
Bai put down his teacup, feeling somewhat bewildered. "I, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I do have some assets, but I've been busy lately. We just confirmed our relationship, and I was so happy that I forgot..."
The more guilty Bai Yue felt as he spoke, the lower his voice became. He still had two big vests in Nan Qi that had not been exposed.
One is the sparring partner's disguise, but he guessed that Nan Qi already knew it. They had fought a lot in real life recently. Nan Qi is a master, and his disguise was probably seen through long ago. Besides, Nan Qi already knew that the previous sparring partner was a female soldier, so it was not difficult to associate him with him.
Another alias is that he is the biggest boss of Xue Ace.
Before, they were just allies, and it didn't matter whether Nan Qi knew or not. Now they have become a real couple, and if he keeps it a secret, he would be dishonest. However—
The only thing he wanted to do was to figure out how to make it seem like he wasn't trying to get close to him on purpose. Although he and Nan Qi's acquaintance in the game was indeed intentional, he just didn't want Nan Qi to think that he did it on purpose.
Bai was very conflicted. In Nan Qi's opinion, Bai felt guilty for hiding something from him.
His hand covered Bai's, his eyes extremely gentle: "Bai, I don't mean to blame you. You opened your account to me and let me use it as I please. You are already being honest with me."
"I asked you if this shop belongs to you because if it does, we might be able to look at the new information we've obtained here instead of waiting until we get home. The sooner we know, the faster we can find the missing military female."
"You're really thoughtful." Bai relaxed. "It's not possible here. Come with me."
Bai got up and first dismissed the waiters, then walked around the huge green plants in front of the booth, came to a wall, and gently placed his palm on the wall.
Rumble——
Along with the sound, a space appeared in front of Nan Qi.
Bai turned around to look at Nan Qi and waved: "Come, you can stay here."
Nan Qi followed him in, and the wall automatically recovered. Bai turned on the light, and Nan Qi could see everything inside clearly. It turned out to be a fully functional lounge.
There is a bed, sofa, bathroom, coffee table, and a small refrigerator in the corner of the room.
Bai pulled Nan Qi to sit on the sofa, took out some water from the refrigerator and gave it to Nan Qi. After sitting down, he took the initiative to nestle in Nan Qi's arms: "This is my secret base. When I was in a bad mood, I would come here to be alone."
Nan Qi touched Bai's face and said, "Then you won't be the only one in the secret base. I will accompany you."
"Yeah." Bai was a little happy, and rubbed against Nan Qi's arms again, then took out the star brain of Fengshengheli Tower from the space ring and turned it on.
