005
It was Xu Qiao's turn to work the night shift on Friday, from 8pm to 8am.
With the physique of a superpower, staying up all night once a week will basically not have any negative effects on the body.
After breakfast and rest, Xu Qiao changed into sportswear and started running around Ping An Community.
After running 20 kilometers in an hour, Xu Qiao returned home sweating profusely. It was only after nine o'clock after taking a shower.
There was movement outside the small courtyard again. Xu Qiao carried the tablet to the living room balcony. Through the glass window, he found that today's staff were still the same middle-aged couple that he had seen yesterday. They were only carrying ashes from transporting construction materials and garbage. The truck was replaced by a dusty scooter with a driver inside.
The couple got out of the car. The aunt in work clothes noticed Xu Qiao inside the glass window and nodded with a smile.
Xu Qiao smiled back.
The couple quickly disappeared outside the unit door and noticed that the driver in the scooter, dressed in black, was staring at her. Xu Qiao looked at the potted fruits and vegetables around him calmly, then turned around and sat on the sofa.
She had seen Qin Chi's design drawings. Not only did the various soft furnishings take up more space than the building materials, they were also expensive and had to be handled carefully. So, instead of sending a few more vehicles to transport it from a manufacturer that is not far away in a high-profile manner, and at the same time risking exposing the customer's financial resources, the decoration company might as well use a space crystal core that can be hidden close to the body to keep a low profile.
The couple, whose main power is decoration, is not strong in combat, so the company specially sent a bodyguard driver.
It can be seen how precious the space crystal core is.
Xu Qiao couldn't help but send a message to Lu Yang: [Don't tell, don't use, don't show. 】
She didn’t even dare to mention the huge wealth that could lead to death if exposed, for fear that the communications department could intercept the keywords.
Lu Yang: [I know. 】
Student Lu was indeed quite stable and reliable. Xu Qiao was relieved, opened the tablet, and entered the mercenary forum.
The forum is divided into several sections, such as communication, trading, recruitment, bounties, etc. Almost all people with special abilities will register accounts here.
Xu Qiao browses the exchange area most often. The Mercenary Association will publish the latest alien beasts, plants and insect maps and dangerous zone maps here and keep them permanently pinned to the top. Well-meaning mercenaries will share their various experiences in exploring, collecting, and fighting. Of course, There are also mercenaries who will openly attack their pig teammates who are holding them back, or scold other mercenary teams who are robbing resources.
Xu Qiao can learn experience from technical posts, and he can also learn about the conduct of some mercenaries from crusade posts. Regardless of whether it is true or false, if he encounters a notorious mercenary in the future, it is always good to be wary.
After Uncle Lu passed away, Xu Qiao also became a frequent visitor to the recruitment area.
The members of the professional mercenary team have basically been fixed for a long time. New members will only be recruited after casualties occur, and the new members must also be professional mercenaries.
People with special abilities like Xu Qiao who mainly work in the base and only do basic tasks once every six months are all part-time mercenaries.
Older part-time mercenaries usually have a fixed team, and every year there is a group of rookie mercenaries who have just graduated from the military academy. The rookies with connections can seek refuge with relatives, friends and elders, while those without connections and strong strength can only join forces with rookies.
Mercenaries in the combat department focus on supernatural abilities and experience, while mercenaries in the treatment department focus on medical certificates and experience.
Xu Qiao has a serious C-level medical certificate and works at the well-known Dr. Hua Clinic in the Second Ring Road. At least he is quite popular among the rookie mercenaries.
But "Fragrant Pastry" wants to select a mercenary team with both strength and conduct.
Strength can be judged by the star behind the ID, and character can only be initially judged by searching for black posts and observing during interviews.
Xu Qiao wrote down the candidate mercenary team on the paper while browsing. When he looked up after writing, he suddenly found an additional private message.
Xu Qiao clicked on it.
Zhao Feng: [My uncle and I went to the northwest base for a long-term mission last fall. I just came back two days ago. I heard that Lao Lu was gone. Have you not completed the mission for the past six months? 】
Xu Qiao was speechless for a while.
She studied at the Third Military Academy, and Zhao Feng was an alumnus of the same class as her. He had a snow wolf mental body and was a B-level ice power user.
Zhao Feng is a famous figure in the combat department. Hearing that there is a lotus spiritual flower in the treatment department, he came to see the fun. After watching it, he started stalking Xu Qiao. It was Uncle Lu who came forward to let Zhao Feng I have restrained myself and stopped chasing Ping An Community at every turn.
The biggest characteristic of Zhao Feng is that he likes to show off. Look, the first sentence of the private message not only mentioned his A-level uncle, but also showed off that he had just completed a long-distance mission.
However, Zhao Feng does have the capital to show off.
Xu Qiao looked at the two silver stars next to Zhao Feng's ID. The silver meant that he was a B-level superpower, and the two stars meant that he had accumulated at least fifty contribution points.
Each time a mercenary accepts a mission of the same level, he or she will receive one point of contribution. The higher the level, the more the contribution points will be doubled.
Zhao Feng is a professional mercenary. Xu Qiao paused the mouse on Zhao Feng's Silver Star, and a small box popped up on the page, showing that Zhao Feng's specific contribution points were "251".
We all graduated together, Zhao Feng is a two-star mid-level player, and looking at Xu Qiao, one bronze star has not been fully used up, and the "3" contribution points are even more pitiful.
Zhao Feng: [I don’t mean anything else. Although Uncle Lu and I are a little unhappy, every professional mercenary who dares to go out for adventure deserves respect. I won’t gloat about it, I just want to help you. ]
Zhao Feng: [Xu Qiao, I am different now from when I was in school. I will no longer pursue you shamelessly. We are all alumni after all. I don’t want anything to happen to you because you chose the wrong team. In addition to occasionally going on A-level missions with my uncle, I also formed a B-level team myself. You are a therapist and are very welcome in our team. ]
Xu Qiao: [You don’t have your own therapist? ]
Zhao Feng: [Yes, but there are not too many therapists. 】
Xu Qiao wanted to laugh. The healers in the base are all treasures. Outside the base, therapists are both treasures and burdens. Therefore, a small team will only recruit one. If there are more mercenaries, they may not be able to protect all the therapists.
Xu Qiao: [Thank you for your kindness, but I have already found a team, and it would not be appropriate to change again. ]
Zhao Feng: [There may be danger outside the base at any time, so don't be willful. 】
Xu Qiao: [I won’t take risks on matters related to life. ]
Zhao Feng: [Okay, if you change your mind later, you can contact me at any time. 】.Read
posts in the morning, go to bed in the afternoon, and at six o'clock, the alarm wakes up the owner on time.
Xu Qiao turned off the alarm clock and released the silent mode of the communication bracelet. Two messages immediately popped up.
16:45, Qin Chi: [Didn’t go to work today? Saw your bike. ]
18:01, Lu Yang: [Get up. ]
Xu Qiao returned to Lu Yang first, and then replied to Qin Chi: [Yes, I am working the night shift tonight and just woke up from my lunch break. Has Mr. Qin moved here? ]
Qin Chi: [Well, we will be neighbors from now on. I have prepared gifts for you and Lu Yang. Is it convenient to send them over now? 】
There is actually a housewarming gift?
Xu Qiao was stunned for a few seconds: [Thank you, wait a moment. ]
She quickly changed her clothes and washed her face, because she had never been in contact with such a polite neighbor. Xu Qiao hesitated for a few minutes whether to prepare a return gift, and finally chose to give up because she really had nothing to offer.
Having seen the luxurious decoration of the Qin family, Xu Qiao was embarrassed to give away the lemon slices.
Wearing slippers, she opened the door and found that the door of room 102 opposite was open. Just when Xu Qiao was amazed by the new, bright and noble decoration inside, Qin Chi walked over from the living room with a burst of unhurried footsteps. , wearing a dark gray long-sleeved T-shirt, holding an exquisite gift bag in his left hand and a white porcelain vase in his right hand.
There are four or five pink and white peonies in the vase.
It was a rare flower that Xu Qiao had only seen in books or TV series.
It was getting dark tomorrow, but Xu Qiao felt that the dark stairwell became brighter because of these pink peonies.
Qin Chi took in all her surprises. He was also happy to make his young neighbor so happy. He explained: "The flower basket I ordered was too crowded, so I picked some out, thinking that Miss Xu might like it." "
Xu Qiao nodded subconsciously: "I like it, I have never seen such beautiful real flowers up close."
The fruits and vegetables she raised can also bloom, and they can also brighten her mood, but peonies are completely different. flower seeds.
She sincerely praised her, but her mental body suddenly felt like it was about to move. Xu Qiao was startled. He concentrated on suppressing his mental body and casually said, "Maybe only some flower mental bodies can overpower your peony." ."
Qin Chi was surprised at her slightly abrupt addition, and then understood something.
Xu Qiao, who had only reached his chin, did not notice the subtle and brief change in his new neighbor's expression. He took the gift bag in one hand and the peony in the other, expressing his sincere gratitude again.
Qin Chi: "It's just a small thought, you're welcome. I'll give Lu Yang's share in person when he comes back."
The aroma of food wafted from behind Qin Chi, Qin Chi said with a smile: "I'm cooking, Miss Xu eats Have you passed? If you don't mind, try my craftsmanship."
Xu Qiao thought of the single chair and single table in his restaurant, and realized that his words were purely polite, and said hurriedly: "No, our clinic will serve the night shift workers. The staff provides two meals in the morning and evening."
Qin Chi nodded: "I'll go cooking. See you next time."
He returned to the entrance and closed the door with a smile.
Xu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, dealing with new neighbors would bring some pressure.
When Xu Qiao returned home, as soon as Xu Qiao closed the door, her lotus spirit appeared on its own and deliberately placed it next to the bottle of peonies. Five peonies were squeezed together and were barely the same size as its flower plate.
The white and pink lotus stands gracefully, and the four green lotus leaves sway slightly, as if asking Xu Qiao who is more beautiful.
The mental body is a part of the person with superpowers, such as the hands and feet. It is definitely controlled by the consciousness of the person with superpowers, but the mental body also has some little tempers of its own. It is said that this temper is related to the personality of the person with superpowers, or with the personality of the person with superpowers. People with superpowers often show the same temperament, or show a side that is deeply suppressed by people with superpowers.
Xu Qiao was a little confused. She was not pretty, so why did her spiritual body still have the desire to compete with other flowers?
"Of course you are more beautiful, you are the most beautiful." Xu Qiao hugged her body and kissed her, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin and I are being polite. This is social etiquette. Don't take it seriously. Go back quickly. Don't be fooled." People see it."
After hearing the praise, Lotus returned to Xu Qiao's body obediently.
Xu Qiao placed peony flowers on the coffee table and opened the gift bag given by Qin Chi.
Inside is actually a set of lotus leaf green porcelain tableware!
Exquisite porcelain was a work of art in the old era, but it became even more precious in the new era. It was so beautiful and expensive that Xu Qiao couldn't bear to use it.
She carefully put the set of china away in her bedroom locker.
Before leaving for work, Xu Qiao watered some peonies in the vase with some wood-type powers, hoping to extend their flowering period for a few days.
Pushing the bicycle to the road and sitting on it, Xu Qiao accidentally looked at the window of 102.
The light golden curtains were tightly closed, blocking the prying eyes of passers-by.
Xu Qiao didn't think much and set off on his bicycle.
And in the 102 living room that she couldn't see, a giant dragon covered with golden-red scales opened its mouth and bit an orange-red rose into its mouth.
Seeing that the beautiful flowers did not contain any energy that could be absorbed by them, the dragon looked disgusted and spit out the flowers.
Qin Chi walked out of the kitchen with two plates of food and saw flowers all over the ground.
He frowned.
The dragon spit a golden-red fireball at him.
Qin Chi allowed the fireball to hit him and absorb it instantly.
Facing the ferocious dragon head that was approaching, Qin Chi said calmly: "You have to come out for air. If you dare to destroy the flowers and grass here, I don't mind spending more effort to suppress you."
The look in the dragon's eyes His ferocious mood immediately turned into sluggishness, and he shrank his body and settled on the single sofa in the living room.
