The New Neighbor Text Chapter 042



042

Xu Qiao thought Qin Chi would get the water from her hair onto her head, and everyone would get wet together, so no one should laugh at anyone.

Unexpectedly, he had already taken "revenge" and gave up at the last moment. His gentle tone made Xu Qiao feel even more guilty.

"I'm sorry." She bowed her head and apologized.

Qin Chi took two steps back and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. It's so hot in the mountains. It's quite cool to get some water."

Xu Qiao's face became even hotter. He glanced at his equally wet armor and whispered: "I'll help." Do you want to dry it?"

Qin Chi: "I'm windy, let's go pick up the crystal nuclei."

Drying hair is indeed a relatively private matter. Xu Qiao apologized again and turned around to pick up the crystal nuclei scattered everywhere.

A palm-sized lotus leaf emerged from inside the armor, and placed it coolly on her hot face, thoughtfully helping her "dispel the heat".

With the mental body helping to distract his attention, Xu Qiao calmed down a bit. After picking up all the crystal cores, he returned to Qin Chi who had tidied up. Xu Qiao was still embarrassed to look at him.

Qin Chi: "Have a rest for a while, or continue to go up the mountain?"

Xu Qiao held a C-level wood crystal core left by the mutated rose, and said while absorbing it: "Let's go up the mountain."

Sitting face to face with him would make it easier to go Recalling the embarrassment just now.

Qin Chi followed her silently.

When passing a stream that could only cover his ankles, Xu Qiao looked at the water for a while and suddenly said to Qin Chi: "You will simulate the speed of a B-class bee to attack me again?"

Qin Chi did not ask further: " Okay."

Xu Qiao walked forward for a while. When the distance between the two was equal to the distance at which the B-class bee launched its attack, Xu Qiao turned around and looked at Qin Chi seriously: "That's it.

" The palm leader's wind blade condensed in front of Qin Chi and shot towards Xu Qiao rapidly.

At the same moment, a suspended shallow stream swept the wind blade head-on. The wind blade shuttled through the stream in the opposite direction with explosive speed. Xu Qiao's body turned to one side to avoid it. The end of the stream also extended into a curved section as she moved. Not long after, the wind blade finally swayed under the continuous resistance. It slowed down and dissipated silently.

Xu Qiao couldn't help but smile. The defenses of the metal and earth elements were indeed very strong. Even the wind could block attacks with its speed. Water itself was flowing. Rapid water flow was dangerous, but still water could also overcome rigidity with softness.

Just like when she resisted the B-level bee's water knife and the water flow that swept through Qin Chi's wind blade this time, the former was extremely efficient in killing in one hit, but the consumption was too high and was not suitable for a protracted battle. The latter, although it took longer, was almost useless. How much mental power a B-level superpower user consumes is more suitable for defense.

Qin Chi: "Do it again?"

Failure for an hour in a row can easily frustrate people, so Xu Qiao will have the idea of ​​teasing others when she is irritable, but the success at this time suddenly boosted her spirit, and she nodded with a smile. .

This time, Qin Chi's wind blade flew upward as soon as it encountered the water flow. After breaking away from the water flow, it continued to shoot at Xu Qiao.

Xu Qiao adjusted the direction of the water flow in time, but her reaction was still too slow for Qin Chi, who was able to control the wind easily, and the wind blade barely missed her helmet.

But this kind of battle is more realistic. Alien beasts are intelligent and will temporarily adjust their attack methods and routes according to the moves of the superpowers.

In this way, Xu Qiao started a new round of practice, specifically focusing on water control speed.

His mental energy was being consumed, and his physical energy was also rapidly draining with the continuous dodging and running in the mountains. No one knew who made the mistake first, and Xu Qiao suddenly fell down the mountain road.

A gust of wind lifted her up in time to avoid her somersault.

"I really need to rest this time." Qin Chi took out two rattan chairs and placed them at an appropriate distance.

Xu Qiao felt enriched after training. She could feel her progress, so she felt tired and happy. The new sparring had already resolved the embarrassment.

She leaned back in the lounge chair tiredly, breathing heavily into the green canopy above her head.

Qin Chi handed over a bottle of water.

Xu Qiao finally took off his helmet and drank most of the bottle in one breath.

At this time, she was also in a state of embarrassment, with beads of sweat flowing down her red face, and the strands of hair around her ears were stuck to her cheeks. Only her eyes were like the stream of her release, clear and bright.

Qin Chi gave him another towel at the right time.

Xu Qiao waved his hand: "No, I will definitely sweat again later, and one more dirty towel will have to be washed."

Qin Chi: "Then eat some fruit?"

Xu Qiao said with a smile: "You are really going on a trip."

Qin Chi took out two fruit plates, which were filled with cut watermelons.

While Xu Qiao was eating the watermelon, he paid attention to the surrounding mountains and forests. After eating, he looked at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock.

"Go directly to the top of the mountain."

"Yeah."

At twelve o'clock at noon, Xu Qiao and Qin Chi were the first to arrive at the top of the mountain, sitting in the shade of the trees and waiting.

Qin Chi took a few photos, and when he was about to sit back, Sun Fushan climbed up from the side holding his helmet while panting, and snatched Qin Chi's wicker chair.

Xu Qiao saw that his armor was covered with dirt, still the kind of wet dirt, and asked curiously: "Did you go drill a hole?"

Sun Fushan breathed enough, clicked on the communication bracelet and typed: [I met him halfway up the mountain. Three insidious C-level gray rabbits suddenly appeared from under my feet and attacked me while I was practicing with a flying beast. I killed two of them and one escaped through a hole. I thought it was a good time to practice my earth escape ability, so I dug a hole behind it and chased it. People are born with the ability to dig holes. Even if they are low level, they can dig faster than me. I chased it for more than an hour before I finally caught up with its speed. 】

There is no signal outside the base, but you can use the input box on the chat interface to share information, which is much faster than scratching the ground with a branch.

Qin Chi's chair was originally two or three meters away from Xu Qiao, but Sun Fushan lifted it to Xu Qiao's side so that Xu Qiao could see the interface of his bracelet.

Xu Qiao: "Turtles can dig holes, right? Why didn't they let their spiritual bodies chase them?"

She still remembered how quickly the fire scorpions dug holes.

Sun Fushan hummed, released his spiritual body, and let it perform digging holes live.

The dark green turtle as big as a pan lay motionless on the ground.

Sun Fushan typed: [It can dig holes, but it pulls too slowly. Anyway, you can't count on it in terms of speed. 】

Xu Qiao: "It's slow on land, but it must swim fast in water."

Upon hearing this, the dark green turtle immediately shrunk to the size of a hand, climbed onto Xu Qiao's boots, and settled there without moving.

Xu Qiao smiled and held the little green turtle in the palm of his hand, touching the cool jade-like turtle shell and said: "It is said that the gods in the past lived on five overseas fairy mountains. The fairy mountains floated on the sea. Whenever there was a giant The Immortal Mountain was floating and swaying in all directions, so the Emperor of Heaven found fifteen divine turtles and asked them to carry a Immortal Mountain in groups of three.

"If you are really a mountain-bearing divine turtle, your strength and water ability must be top-notch."

The little green turtle raised its head high.

Sun Fushan: [I didn’t believe in these legends before, but there are spiritual bodies like dragons and phoenixes among superpowers. It’s strange. Why can my turtle turn into a negative mountain turtle, but my eldest brother and second brother’s have not mutated? Become Xuanwu? Xuanwu is the number one turtle...]

Before he could finish typing, his finger was suddenly bitten by the little green turtle and he let out a scream.

Meng Li, who was climbing in the forest, heard the screams of his teammates and immediately jumped into the wind. He knocked down a tree unskillfully and rushed straight up.

Seeing clearly the three teammates who seemed to be on vacation at the top of the mountain, Meng Li curled his lips and landed next to Xu Qiao.

Xu Qiao said happily, "Can you fly by yourself?"

Meng Li glanced at Qin Chi and said, "You're not familiar with it yet."

Qin Chi set out a dining table and said, "Let's eat."

Xu Qiao and the three of them practiced very hard in the morning , so after eating, Qin Chi drove towards Huang City. The three teammates leaned on the backs of their chairs and closed their eyes to rest.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the aircraft left with a rumble, and the four-person team also arrived near the junction of the An County danger zone and the Huang City danger zone.

It was the first time they spent the night outside the base after graduation. Xu Qiao and the other two felt that it would be more appropriate to stay in An County tonight, and then enter the Huang City area tomorrow morning to start the real adventure experience.

Facing the setting sun, the off-road vehicle passed by an abandoned village.

Sun Fushan tried to find a relatively complete courtyard wall as a temporary camp tonight, but no courtyard met the requirements.

"I can only sleep in the wild."

Qin Chi smiled, drove the off-road vehicle to a flat field outside the village, and said to his teammates while taking off his seat belt: "I don't like living in tents. I left the Northeast Base at the beginning of the year. "Previously, in order to ensure comfort on the road, I asked a construction company to build a movable house."

As soon as I finished speaking, a 100-square-meter forest hut appeared in the open space. Except for the glass windows, the entire hut was made of logs. Simple and natural.

Not to mention Xu Qiao and Meng Li, even Sun Fushan, who came from a big family, opened his eyes wide and ran around the forest cabin in a hopeless circle. Then he was the first to rush to the unlocked wooden door and opened it. door panel.

Inside is the living room, which is consistent with the style of the Lu family that Qin Chi renovated. The colors are bright, warm and noble. There are even vases and flower baskets placed on the coffee table and side cabinets.

Sun Fushan's right foot stretched out for a long time, but he didn't feel embarrassed to step on it.

Qin Chi took out four pairs of disposable slippers: "I never thought I would entertain friends here. Initially, I only built a living room and a bedroom. Two days ago, I temporarily hired a local construction company to add another bedroom. There is a bathroom in the bedroom, so everyone can Go clean up first, change your clothes, and then come to the living room to rest."

Because Sun Fushan was standing at the door, Qin Chi pointed to the bedroom on the right and said, "That's my room."

Sun Fushan put on his slippers and ran in.

Qin Chi looked at Xu Qiao and Meng Li again: "This room on the left is for you."

Xu Qiao: "...The senior mercenaries who escorted you here really never thought of robbing you?"

Qin Chi: " I hired the mercenaries with the best reputation, and with my connections, they were very cooperative."

Xu Qiao smiled and took Meng Li to the bedroom on the left.

Compared with the living room, the decoration style of this newly added bedroom is much simpler, probably taking their preferences into consideration.

Xu Qiao saw the touch screen on the wall. Was it actually powered?

She pressed it, and the curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows slowly closed toward the middle.

Xu Qiao was so impressed that he seemed to be able to live comfortably anywhere as long as he had enough points.

"You wash up first, I'll go to the living room to take a look."

Xu Qiao left the bathroom to Meng Li and exited the bedroom.

Qin Chi was still standing outside the living room door and turned around when he heard the sound.

Xu Qiao walked up to him and said, both teasingly and truthfully: "When I think that you will only live in the southeast base for two or three years, I can't bear to let you go."

Qin Chi looked at her clear eyes and asked, "Why?"

Xu Qiao Pointing behind him: "Apart from you, where can I find such a cool new teammate?"

Qin Chi laughed and thought for a moment: "Maybe you have already reached S level by then, and all the material comforts you want are at your fingertips. "

Xu Qiao took a deep breath of fresh air and said to the setting sun: "It's almost dark, save your sweet dreams until you fall asleep."
