Chapter 31 The Person Hiding Under the Bed
An turned around and said with a smile:
“Rift Tide, this is a golden opportunity for us apprentices who have just embarked on the path of transcendence.
Once the news is confirmed, maybe those old guys in Bei country who are guarding their family property will come to our countryside to grab food.
If we can survive the wave, we might be able to see the peak.”
After An finished speaking, he looked at Chen Qi expectantly.
If an ordinary person wants to become a high-level extraordinary person, the most basic condition is a high-level professional card.
High-level professional cards will only appear in high-level cracks.
As a student of the Royal University of Bei Kingdom, she knew deeply how valuable those old guys in the royal capital of Bei Kingdom regarded high-level cracks.
Even though she had made unprecedented efforts, she was not even qualified to enter a high-level rift.
But the rift tide, while it will bring disaster, will also bring new rifts.
Of course, these unknown new cracks will be more dangerous than those that have been controlled.
These disasters are also opportunities.
Chen Qi also looked at the sea in the distance.
What An said was correct, but not complete.
It’s not just the people from the inland of Bei who come to the Witch Sea to cause trouble and steal food.
According to the game information, the rift tides in the Witch Sea will be more turbulent than all the tides in history.
In addition to the inland of Bei, the neighboring Golden Bird Kingdom, the White Tower Federation, and the distant Black Blood Empire all want to get involved in the Witch Sea.
While they were talking, the captain of the merchant ship, wearing a captain's hat, came down the ladder, took off his hat and saluted, interrupting several people.
He would discuss the matter with the novice mentor and the mayor of Marlow Town.
As an important person in charge of Maruo Town, An still has things to deal with.
"I have to take care of some things first."
An took a few steps forward, then suddenly thought of something and swallowed a mouthful of water:
"By the way, Qi, you are a chef now, right? I will give you something delicious later."
"?"
Good stuff? Chen Qi crossed his arms and tilted his head in confusion.
Something else?
He had to admit that, as the player's rankings said, An was a very responsible novice mentor.
After Mayor An and Maro left.
At this moment, little Ma Luo, who had been beside him, breathed a sigh of relief.
"call!"
He patted Chen Qi on the shoulder and said:
"Wow, brother, you are actually a chef. I have rarely seen a chef who is superb. I heard that your chef's cooking is so delicious that it makes clothes explode. Please treat me to a meal when you have time."
Chen Qi looked at Xiao Ma Luo speechlessly.
Then, Little Marlowe looked around and whispered:
"Well, they left.
Brothers, let's go together to find the money thief who is infected with the sea monster disease, and then tell the mechanical arm hunter the news and make a fortune!
I remember that man was quite rich!"
Are you still thinking about your money? Chen Qi's eyes became alert.
According to the information provided by Little Marro, someone sneaked into the town of Marro and tried to kidnap him.
In the shadow of Marado Island, is there anyone who wants to do something to him?
He glanced carefully at the people coming and going on the dock.
He did not see the man with the robotic arm in the crowd.
Chen Qi once again said to Xiao Ma Luo:
"Are you sure that man jumped into the sea? And, from what you can tell, does he have a companion?"
"Yes, I think he has already landed. He has no companions. I see that man is wearing a cloak and came alone. He should be the tough guy who specializes in handling debts in the company!"
After hearing what Chen Qi said, Xiao Ma Luo suddenly realized something and looked around.
"The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light..."
Chen Qi thought that if the other party really came to kidnap him, they would not take action at this time.
The place where he made the move must have been a dark place far away from the crowd.
"Home?"
Chen Qi had a preliminary answer in his mind.
While they were chatting, the moon had already appeared and the light on the dock was particularly dim.
"The other party asked Xiao Ma Luo for information..."
Blindly inquiring for information means that this person is not a cautious person and does not understand his situation.
The other party is very anxious and may have asked other people for the news.
Chen Qi looked around, made sure he was not far away from the crowd, and walked forward.
The Old Bailey on the dock sits on the dock all day, and if a man with a mechanical arm passes by, perhaps he will have some clues.
Chen Qi squatted down, took out four hundred shells and handed them to the other party:
"The Old Bailey."
Seeing the money, the sleepy old Bailey suddenly woke up:
"What's wrong?"
“I will rent your boat for a few more days, and when I return next time, I will pay you the full amount for the boat.
Also, have you seen anyone at the dock asking for information about others?"
Old Bailey took the money and recalled:
"It seems that there is indeed a man from Moonstone City. He said that there was a damn thief in our Marlow Town who stole money from their company and came here to collect the debt.
He even advised us not to shield criminals, otherwise he would break our legs as well."
Sure enough... Chen Qi asked again softly:
"Do you know where he went?"
"I don't know. He seemed to be wandering around just now. I remember someone seemed to answer him, and then he suddenly disappeared."
Answered!
Has that person already known my information from other people? Chen Qi's heart tightened.
“Can you really pay the full amount?”
Old Bailey asked, he still didn't quite believe Chen Qi had so much money unless he did something illegal.
"certainly."
Chen Qi stood up and looked around again.
The key now is not money, but to find the person hiding in the dark.
There was no one on the pier...
That person suddenly disappeared and hid in the water?
A place suitable for Tibetans… Chen Qi turned his head and fixed his eyes on his small houseboat.
The small houseboat rocked gently a few times on the sea.
A dangerous intuition arose spontaneously.
Could it be that I was seen by the other party when I got off the boat?
That person knew I would return to the boat.
So……
Could it be that the other person has already run into my boat, and then when night falls, he will climb into my bed and give me a surprise when I sleep?
Chen Qi's heart was pounding and he let out a long sigh.
In the last rays of day, he took the collector out of his backpack, hid it under his clothes, and walked towards the small houseboat step by step.
If Little Maro's information is correct.
Although the opponent is only a first-level transcendent, he is equipped with a mechanical arm.
In the new world, there are three types of powerful equipment: mechanical armor, flesh and blood armor, and blood machine armor.
Mechanical armor, as the name suggests, is a common armor in the New Day world.
The flesh-and-blood colonization suit refers to the equipment made by stripping the consciousness of a living monster and retaining only the most basic combat functions. It is a very dangerous equipment.
The Blood Machinery Armor is a hybrid of the two, mixing monsters and machines together to make equipment.
Although the robotic arm is just a hand, it is also a very good equipment in the early stage.
One of his punches is enough to kill a pig!
Chen Qi recalled for a moment. In his original owner’s memory, the mechanical arm of that first-level extraordinary being was not a branded product.
Da, da, da——
Before he knew it, Chen Qi had walked to his own little houseboat.
He was stepping out with his left foot, preparing to jump onto the boat.
"start!"
Just then, a female voice came from behind.
"Call me at this time..."
Chen Qi shed a few drops of cold sweat, took a few steps back, confirmed that there was no danger, turned back, and said in a low voice:
"What's wrong, Teacher An?"
The one who called her was none other than An.
At this moment, she was holding two bags in her hands and walked over happily.
One of the bags contained potatoes and beef, and the other contained a set of brand new kitchen utensils.
She came over, blinked her blue eyes, and handed two bags to Chen Qi:
“You should complete your daily tasks today.
Fortunately, I met a chef on the merchant ship and asked them for some ingredients, which are perfect for you."
"ah?"
Chen Qi was shocked.
Although the ingredients and kitchen utensils were not expensive items, her behavior still gave him an indescribable feeling.
A strange feeling of being a freeloader...
He once again deeply realized why she had the title of "An Ma" in the ranking of new mentors.
"Okay, thank you, Teacher An."
Chen Qi took the ingredients and kitchen utensils, turned around, and walked carefully towards the small houseboat.
And the moment he turned around, An looked at Chen Qi's back, with a smile on his face, revealing an expression of success!
The plan worked!
On the surface, she gave the other person food and wanted to help him, but this was only her first layer.
In fact, all the dishes she gave to Chen Qi were her favorites!
"The food in Marlow Town is really bad..."
An touched his hungry stomach.
Her father's cooking was really not to her taste, and he loved cooking fish, but she didn't like eating fish.
The other party chose to become an extraordinary chef, so he must be quite capable!
In the imperial capital, her friend treated her to delicious food prepared by an extraordinary chef, which was simply the most delicious.
Although Chen Qi had only just become a chef, An felt that his food should be better than that of other people in Maruo Town.
Her real purpose is to eat for free under the guise of work and guidance!
If it's really delicious, she can enjoy delicious food every day in the future.
This was An’s second thought.
An touched the corner of her mouth, she couldn't help but drool a little.
Chen Qi suddenly jumped onto the small houseboat and looked inside through the crack in the door.
Although the light was dim, he could see the vague silhouette of a person beneath the tattered bed of his houseboat.
Moreover, he could smell some sweat that didn't belong to him.
Sure enough, there is!
At this moment, scenes flashed through Chen Qi's mind one after another.
He was almost certain that the person under the bed was the gang member 'Iron Hand' who lured him into the Black Rabbit Gang, cheated him of all his work wages, and was in cahoots with the human traffickers!
Iron Hand is a greedy, bold and reckless man. Because he is good at swimming, he once used his mechanical arm to drag a pair of siblings who tried to escape from the gang into the sea and drowned them alive. Therefore, he has the two terrifying titles of "Water Ghost" and "Iron Hand".
To many young people, this kind of ruthless person is like a devil.
But now, in terms of strength, Tie Shou may not be his opponent.
etc!
Chen Qi suddenly realized something.
Why did An call him just now? Was it really to help him, or for some simple reason like wanting to have a free meal?
No!
An's observation skills are extraordinary. She might have noticed that the man had secretly boarded his boat.
The reason I called him just now was actually to remind him!
Chen Qi thought of the third level, turned around and looked at An.
What a terrifying observation ability!
"well!"
Why did he look back? Did he understand? Was his intention to eat for free discovered?
An blushed, turned her head, smiled embarrassedly, then raised her head again with an expectant look.
She could already imagine the aroma of Chen Qi cooking.
This look...
Do you want me to solve it myself? Chen Qi shook his head and responded with his eyes.
No matter what, he was going to kill the person who broke into his house without permission.
