Chapter 37: Newspaper Office and Miss Miracle
Call me boss? Come to eat?
Just don’t come to eat me, Chen Qi turned around helplessly and looked at the person behind him.
It was a wet young woman with short blond hair, wearing a simple and capable business suit.
Hanging around her waist was a heavy retro-style camera and a revolver.
Whether it is the expensive camera on his waist or the gold-rimmed revolver, it can be seen that the other person has a high social status!
A rich man, Chen Qi looked him up and down.
In general, she is a girl with a heroic appearance, and the most outstanding feature of her appearance is probably her pair of bright golden eyes.
However, she had just fallen into the water and was hungry, so her eyes, which were originally as bright as stars, looked a little dazed.
Camera? Reporter? Photographer? Chen Qi asked curiously:
"Um, who are you?"
Hearing Chen Qi's question, the blonde woman's eyes suddenly flashed, as if in a stress response, and she instantly became full of energy:
"The chief gold medal reporter of the White Dove Times, the winner of the two-time Individual Achievement Award in Moonstone City Journalism, and also the highest paid reporter and news writer, Pellew Lahn.
Of course, you can call me what I’m called in the industry—Miracle Reporter!”
Perru?
Miracle?
Chen Qi had a bad memory for names like this, but when he heard 'Miracle Reporter', a wave of memories suddenly came to his mind.
This seems to be a truly famous big shot!
Previously, whether it was An, Captain Black Eyes, or the little-known Little Crow, they were all relatively niche characters in the entire game forum.
But the person he met now was a celebrity who was more famous than the witch and had countless titles!
The king of troublemakers, the fearless man, the shield of Beiguo, one of the three best students of Beiguo Royal University, the cheapest information dealer, the one with enemies all over the world, the miracle reporter Pellew!
Chen Qi was secretly shocked.
Some people are remembered by players because of their looks, figure, personality that attracts players, and wonderful plot performances.
As one of the most famous characters in the Witch Sea section, Miracle Reporter Pellegrini does not rely on any of the above, but on her unparalleled presence!
As a reporter, she works almost day and night, riding her little white dove to all the major events in the Witch Sea!
This reporter can be seen at almost any major event.
Coupled with her extremely simple and crude interview style and her explosive ability to stir up trouble, she left a particularly deep impression on people.
For example, the background introduction tells the story of a wealthy businessman in Yueshi City embezzling public funds for the railway.
Under normal circumstances, this type of case requires investigating all the details of the corruption case, secretly dealing with various forces, and obtaining evidence from them.
However, she sneaked into the businessman's house and took indecent photos of him while he was having an affair with his lover.
Then they threatened the other party with the photos, stuffed the microphone into the other party's mouth, and forced the other party to be interviewed!
How could a big businessman, who has seen a lot of ups and downs, confess so easily?
Instead, he said that if he had the ability, he would spread the photos all over the city, which would make him even more excited.
Then, a gun was pointed at the businessman's head.
By threatening big businessmen and using his thieving skills.
She successfully found evidence hidden in the big businessman's house. In just one day, she successfully turned an ordinary piece of news into a hot headline in Moonstone City!
All in all, this is a chaotic reporter who will do anything to increase her newspaper sales!
Chen Qi looked at the drowned chicken in front of him again.
The Perlu in front of him was completely different from the literary reporter in the newspaper who wore gold-rimmed glasses and was gentle and polite.
Typical photo fraud.
At this time, Perlu's stomach made a rumbling sound, and she asked weakly again:
"So... Boss, is your restaurant open? I've been running around all day and I'm almost starving..."
"Yeah, it's on."
Chen Qi walked into the boathouse and tidied up the kitchen.
He might as well receive the other party.
This is a big shot who is extremely capable of stirring up trouble. If you get involved with him, you will most likely get into some minor troubles.
But in Moonstone City, many journalists have a wider information network than information dealers.
They are active all over the city, trying every possible means to collect materials for big news.
As the most famous reporter in Moonstone City, Pellegrini also knows a lot of intelligence and has a large number of informants.
And most importantly, Pellegrini is different from most mysterious and riddle-telling information dealers. She is a chatterbox with a big mouth.
She can easily reveal a lot of information that can be sold at a huge price.
Therefore, among the players, he has the title of 'the cheapest information dealer' and 'the riddle killer'.
If you want intelligence, looking for her is a pretty good choice.
Of course, she flies around all day, so finding the other person requires a little bit of luck.
Chen Qi walked into the boathouse and opened the refrigerator:
"What do you want to eat?"
Perru walked into the boathouse and looked at his not-so-rich refrigerator:
"Your houseboat is so small. Also, there are only so many ingredients, and they are all ingredients I don't like. Are you really a chef? Can you cook?"
The decoration was poor and the food was not abundant. Perlu couldn't help but frown, but she was starving now, so she could only make do with the food.
"Okay."
My cooking skills have been underestimated. Chen Qi resisted the urge to retort.
On the surface, Pele's spiritual field is very weak. She is just a first-level transcendent who is a little braver and has a stronger background.
But in fact, according to the information in the game forum, her extraordinary level is unknown, and her ability to withstand blows is extremely strong.
His true strength should be at the BOSS level, and he is the type who perfectly hides his own strength.
Chen Qi took out the ingredients and said:
“The store has just opened. Although there are not many ingredients, the taste is okay, and they can make dishes with chili peppers.”
“Oh, there’s this flavor!”
Perlu's eyes suddenly lit up. She likes spicy food, it's stimulating!
“I want all the food in your fridge as long as you add chili!
Oh, and here are four raw fish for my pet to eat."
"pet?"
"Yes, and my little white dove!"
As she spoke, Perru came to the side of the boat, bent down, and put her hand into the water.
With a bang, she fished out a one-meter-tall pigeon from the sea.
It’s not perspective, it’s not that things are bigger when they are closer and smaller when they are farther away, this is a really big pigeon!
The sound of falling into the water just now was made by this pigeon.
Chen Qi's eyes lit up. His main game account before he traveled through time was a pet trainer in the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom.
He knows a lot of information about pet animals and can be regarded as a humanoid pet illustration book.
The Traveling White Pigeon is a traveling exotic animal that can carry people and fly. It has a strong ability to distinguish directions and has endurance. It is a pet worth at least 10 million shells.
Those who can afford traveling white pigeons are all rich people.
Chen Qi picked up four raw fish and placed them in front of the big white dove's mouth:
"Fifty shells for one raw fish, two hundred in total."
The big white pigeon, which had been hungry for a long time, ate the raw fish with tears in its eyes.
In the town of Maro, twenty shells for a raw fish is considered expensive.
Hearing this price, Perlu's eyes suddenly flashed again, she crossed her arms and said:
“This is too cheap!
"Have some conscience, boss, feed my little white pigeon two more. Forget it, it should have had enough and is too fat. Fry two more for me!"
The white dove let out a wail, and it felt that its owner still didn't understand why she fell into the water.
Conscience? Chen Qi was a little surprised, because his price was twice the market price.
Restaurants at sea are just like restaurants at tourist attractions, and prices are often a little more expensive.
But judging from Pelle's tone, he still set the price too low.
Chen Qi decisively took the ingredients out of the refrigerator.
He is a chef, and he used rare condiments like devil pepper, so it shouldn't be a problem if the price is a little higher.
Then let’s price all these dishes that cost less than twenty dollars at over one hundred dollars!
Perlu sat on the dining chair, touched her nose, and waved her hand:
"I want all the food in your mini fridge, with your best seasonings and cooking skills!!"
"no problem."
After a while, several delicious dishes were served.
Chen Qi was cooking while chatting with Peilu.
He wanted to get some information about Moonstone City through Pellegrini.
However, being a chatterbox, Pelle didn't give him a chance to interrupt.
She soon revealed a mysterious expression:
"Boss, you are lucky today!"
"?"
Pelle is a person with a strong desire to share.
If you want to get information from Pellegrini, you don't even need to ask her.
She will spit out the information herself.
Perlu picked up a bottle of wine on the table, drank it, and said excitedly:
"You met me today, which means that you will know the big news of tomorrow's White Dove Times before anyone else in the Witch Sea!"
"What's the big news?"
She immediately said:
"The Flower Witch, and news about the Black Whale Group!"
"oh."
Chen Qi cooked silently.
Although the other party is a very famous reporter, he may know more about these two matters than the female reporter.
Why does it feel so perfunctory? Peilu looked at Chen Qi. It seemed that he was a person who had strict requirements on the explosiveness of news.
But it doesn’t matter, her next message will shock this small business owner!
Alas, I'm going to gain another fan. Perlu raised her head 30 degrees, then turned her face slightly:
"Hmph, Boss, what I'm going to tell you next is top secret news.
The four pirate emperors, the Black Whale Pirates, and the Blood Blade Pirates, are all chasing after the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter!
Based on the information I have collected so far, this treasure hunt is not a rumor, the treasure of the deep-sea hunter really exists!
I risked my life for this.”
"oh."
Chen Qi continued cooking and said perfunctorily.
Damn, this doesn't shock you!
It seems that this young boss doesn't care about the treasures in the sea... Perru coughed twice, pretending to be nonchalant, and then casually said a bombshell news:
"You know, just yesterday, the Flower Witch appeared on a travel ship, and according to the information I collected, the Black Whale Group is not only tracking the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter, but also tracking the witch!"
"Um?"
Chen Qi's tone changed slightly.
Finally there is some useful information. The Flower Witch knows the secrets of the Witch Sea, so in the game, she is hunted by many forces.
It was indeed something he didn't know that the Black Whale Group had been tracking the Flower Witch so early.
But that's it.
Seeing Chen Qi's flat reaction, Perlu blushed a little, but then immediately revealed a mysterious expression:
"Boss, do you know what I'm going to do next?"
She is not only good at leaking other people's information, but also her own information.
"What?"
Chen Qi asked, the other party was much more talkative than he had imagined.
Perru smiled slightly:
"I decided to track down the Black Eyed Captain of the Sawshark of the Black Whale Corps, and the Crow Doctor who symbolizes disaster, and interview them! In this way, I can find out the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter!"
Her original plan was to return to Moonstone City for a meal, but the White Dove Newspaper's intelligence network actually discovered the trace of the Black Whale Regiment's Sawshark.
How dare they, as a pirate ship, approach the waters near their Moonstone City!
So she made a prompt decision and prepared to track the Sawshark without even eating.
When she gets the secrets of the Black Whale Group from the Sawshark, she will definitely shock the other party and the ocean!
Perlu had a very good imagination, and she could already imagine a scenario where Chen Qi was convinced by her personal charm and gave her 'free meals forever'.
"That's something new."
Chen Qi said.
The Sawshark chased him, and the reporter chased the Sawshark.
If Captain Black Eyes and Little Crow are entangled by this trouble-making reporter, they should be able to temporarily give up the idea of looking for him.
This is good news, Chen Qi continues to serve the dishes.
While chatting and laughing, the hungry Pelle had already finished the entire table of food.
Her appetite is comparable to that of two adult men.
After eating, she no longer looked like a drowned rat and became full of energy again.
“Delicious, delicious!”
Perru lay on the chair, touched her belly, and showed an expression of enjoyment.
Unexpectedly, she was so lucky to come across a restaurant boat after falling into the water.
I originally thought it was a money-sucking ship.
I didn’t expect it to be so delicious!
What on earth was added to this? Perru praised without reservation:
"Boss, your cooking skills are pretty good. Next time, I'll bring my friends from the newspaper office to eat here."
Chen Qi counted the dishes on the table and said to Peilu with a smile:
"Including two bottles of wine, the total is three thousand cowrie shells."
"Three thousand cowrie shells! Boss, that's cheap! If you decorate it better and buy a bigger boat, I think it won't be a problem to sell it for five thousand cowrie shells."
The generous Perru stood up and touched her waist, trying to find an important thing called a 'wallet'.
Well, why not?
“Ahem.”
Perlu coughed twice and blinked:
"Well...well, my money is all gone. How about I sign an autograph for you? I'm a celebrity, and my autograph is very valuable."
"ha?"
