Chapter 155 Have a Good Rest
…
At night, the stars shine and the water sparkles.
The small houseboat followed the lighthouse and joined many adventurous boats to the port in the town of Maro.
The old keeper of the lighthouse waved to Chen Qi.
Chen Qi raised his head and thought of the scene when he first returned to Maruo Town.
The shabby little houseboat made a creaking sound as it pulled up to the dock in Marlowe.
Chen Qi put the Deep Sea Elf No. 1 on his shoulder and went down from the port of Maro Town.
Now is the time to return.
Chen Qi walked on the path at the pier and looked around.
The last time he came back, he had not noticed the changes that had taken place in Maro Town.
As the rift tide grew, the Bei government built defense facilities and a weather tower in Maro Town. Merchants with a keen sense of smell would not miss this opportunity and began to acquire a large number of shops in Maro Town.
Today, the town of Maro is no longer what it used to be. This small island, which was once only inhabited by fishermen and miners and was despised by countless people, now gathers outstanding adventurers from the interior of Bei and even foreign countries.
Chen Qi walked forward and saw the addition of facilities such as the 'Weapons Shop', 'Moonstone City Hunter Association Branch', and 'Pharmacy' near the dock.
Merchants and adventurers chatted freely at the dock.
Chen Qi pricked up his ears.
Two businessmen, one tall and one thin, were talking.
"The ghost ship has robbed our merchant ship. We must send out the hunter group to take back everything that belongs to us!"
"Take back everything we have. You don't know that when the ghost ship faced the Canary Trading Company's ship, it even circled around the merchant ship while singing."
The ravages of the ghost ship made the two of them sigh.
"Alas...if we continue like this, this coastal route will not be safe. How about we open up a new route, such as some dangerous sea areas, such as the land of white trees?"
"Shut up. Do you know about the Black Rabbit tragedy that happened in the White Tree Land? Wait, there is a shipbuilder from the Steam Hand Company who is said to have a way to build a ship that is faster than the ghost ship."
"Forget it, don't think about these troubles. I heard that many famous chefs have been invited to the bonfire banquet in Maro Town today!"
Ghost ships, new routes, shipbuilders with steam hands…
Chen Qi shook his head secretly.
Under the influence of rip tides, the offshore waters are not too peaceful either.
I advise you not to go to the land of white trees... Chen Qi didn't bother to rest, he quickened his pace and headed for the center of Maro Town, for the bonfire party.
In the center of Maro Town, there was a grand open-air banquet, which, judging from the number of tables, could accommodate more than 500 people.
In the past, Maro Town would never have held such a grand banquet.
Chen Qi looked around, looking for Teacher An.
However, compared to Teacher An, he met the greasy-faced Mayor Maro first.
Mayor Maro is discussing land leasing with a big businessman.
Mayor Maro spent his entire life worrying about his children. He married a wife who was two heads taller than him and worked hard to make money, all in order to be able to create his own family like those nobles.
But he never expected that the money he earned after working hard all his life would not be as much as the benefits brought by the rift tides.
After getting the money, Mayor Maro plans to find a tall woman with genetic mutation for his son, Maro Jr., to improve their family's genes and turn their family into mutants!
This is the fastest and most cost-effective way to start a large family!
Mayor Maro saw Chen Qi, said goodbye to the big businessman, and walked over:
"Long time no see, Qi. I heard that you have become a famous chef! A super chef!"
Chen Qi smiled:
"No, I became famous mainly because of the report in the White Dove Times. My cooking skills are still far from being a true master."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Mayor Maro was extremely impressed when he heard that Chen Qi was heading to the Sea of Fissures.
Suddenly, Mayor Maro suddenly remembered that he still had an unmarried daughter, and asked curiously:
"Is that so, Qi, are you interested in settling down in Marlow Town?"
Mayor Maro showed an expectant look.
Although Chen Qi did not attend the academy, in his opinion, his talent was only lower than An's.
If Chen Qi settles down in Maro Town, with his current fame, he will definitely allow Maro Town to have a famous restaurant again and attract more tourists!
Settle down? There is no such thing as stability in this era. Surfing is the way to go! Chen Qi shook his head:
"I have no intention of settling down for the time being. By the way, Mayor Maro, do you know any businessman who deals in luxury goods?"
Instead of going to Moonstone City to sell Haiyunduo's cloud fur, it is also a good choice to go directly to Mayor Maro.
Rejected... Mayor Maro sighed:
"Sure enough, you and An are the same type of people, the ones who can't settle down properly... Wait, luxury goods business?"
"I was lucky enough to get a little bit of cloud hair from the sea clouds when I was sailing in the Sea of Fissures."
"What?"
"Haiyunduo's fur."
"Haiyunduo's wool!"
Mayor Ma Luo looked at Chen Qi with suspicion.
The shower gel made from Haiyun Duomao can transform dark wheat-colored skin into white skin that is as smooth as a baby's, and it is safe and pollution-free.
That was the precious shower gel that his wife coveted, so he knew Haiyunduo's cloud hair quite well.
This is a very rare item!
Where do you get your supplies from?
Although there are not many capable young people in our Maro Town, the capable ones are more ruthless than each other... Mayor Maro thought for a moment and said:
"Cloud fur is popular everywhere. I'll try my best to help you find it. However, these merchants are very smart. If you can't provide enough supply, they may lower the price."
Mayor Maro introduced him to the information of several businessmen.
Chen Qi wrote down this information. After tonight, he could sell all of Haiyun Duomao and get at least four million shells.
“Open, open…”
At this time, An's voice came from behind him.
"Ahem, someone asked me to drink. I'm going to go drink with An's father and let this tavern owner know what a true wine king is!"
Mayor Maro coughed twice, then immediately took his wine glass and went to other parts of the banquet, shamelessly looking for Ann's father.
Chen Qi turned around and it was An.
She tied her hair into a side ponytail, with a few strands of hair hanging casually by her ears, adding a bit of cleverness and laziness.
She was wearing a white lace long skirt decorated with delicate cloud patterns. It was very simple, but exuded a unique charm.
It turns out she has other clothes... Chen Qi exclaimed.
An is a typical workaholic and a workaholic. He doesn't have the time to dress up carefully and most of the time, he wears the school's battle mage robe.
In her closet, there are at least ten identical wizard robes.
Chen Qi rubbed his hands together, ready to show off his cooking skills;
"An, where is the kitchen? I'm going to meet the chef here!"
An did not answer, but scanned Chen Qi from top to bottom, from left to right, like a curious cat, like a professional doctor.
Then she raised her finger and put on a serious expression:
"You have dark circles and bloodshot eyes, your spiritual power is disordered, and you have signs of a cold. And just yesterday, you encountered a ghost disaster and a big storm! Just now, you were still discussing a deal with Mayor Maro!"
"Not only that, you went out to Moonstone City today and didn't get enough sleep!"
Huh? Chen Qi was a little confused by An's series of remarks.
Then, An raised his head and said in a low voice:
"Continuous running around will lead to continuous stress, and too much stress can kill you, Qi! What you need now is rest. Put aside your thoughts and have a good rest!"
Have a good rest... Chen Qi touched his shoulder, and suddenly, a wave of fatigue swept over his body like a tide.
After running around continuously, he was indeed a little tired.
But he just realized it now.
As Chen Qi listened to An's nagging, he suddenly remembered An's other nickname - An's mother.
Although An's expression often looks like that of a cold robot, she is actually very good at observing others.
Chen Qi asked:
"So, we don't need the chef from the Water Elf Restaurant for this banquet tonight. You clearly said that you needed a chef for today's banquet."
There was no work for Mingming the chef, but An still called him over.
Huh? An was suddenly stuck, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment:
"Today... we found a few chefs temporarily. Qi, you finally came back from the dangerous Siren Gorge, you should enjoy the food."
An's voice was intermittent, like a robot, and he didn't know how to answer.
“…”
Chen Qi looked around and saw delicious food on the table, with a fragrant aroma.
Indeed, he is not short of money to work as a chef now.
Moreover, I have been too busy recently, just like a player, constantly moving forward.
Taking a break occasionally and enjoying delicious food is also a good choice.
Chen Qi stretched his stiff body:
"Okay, thank you for your concern, Teacher An."
At this moment, An blushed inexplicably:
"This is what I should do. I have no other intentions...meanings...hmm..."
She suddenly realized that she was stuttering a little, and hurriedly patted her face with her little hands, making her face red, and explained:
“Ahem, besides letting you have a good rest, by the way, our banquet in Marlow Town tonight will also feature a famous shipbuilder!
If you have the chance, you can find that shipbuilder and customize a ship!"
Shipbuilder? Chen Qi followed An's gaze and looked towards the center of the banquet.
There, sat a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard. He was wearing light armor and had a melancholy look on his face.
Chen Qi was slightly startled.
This person is also a member of the Ice Demon Pirates, someone who doesn't like humans.
