Chapter 155 I also became a protective umbrella (third update)
Qu Jianlei finally did not refuse Xiao Qin - he could feel that Patrol Office people cared too much about reputation.
As soon as it got dark that night, he drove his off-road vehicle and drove Xiao Qin out of the city.
Halfway through, it started to rain. Xiao Qin was overjoyed to see it.
"If it rains, I can help you quietly. Rainy days don't leave traces easily."
"Just help me hold the battle," Qu Jianlei smiled, "Help me so much, what do you want to get?"
Xiao Qin thought about it and answered, "Isn't it right for colleagues to help each other?"
"Is it difficult to be more honest between people?" Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, "If you don't say it, you will miss the opportunity."
Xiao Qin blinked, "I'm going to say it, will you definitely agree?"
"What are you thinking about?" Qu Jianlei replied while driving, "It's not that I don't want to do many things... it's that I can't."
My soul comes from Blue Star, how can I tell you this? "Can you officially join Patrol Office?" Xiao Qin directly revealed his trump card.
Electromagnetic Attribute's cultivation and use of crystals are so targeted. Inviting the other party to join is the real package and take away.
"Officially... join?" Qu Jianlei was really excited at this moment.
But thinking about Hua Xiezhi and Bentley who were still in Tian-character District, he felt that he couldn't be too selfish.
They agreed to rely on each other. If he joins Patrol Office, it won't be because he is careless in his work, but because he has a problem with his life.
So he said frankly, "Change the request."
"Then let's talk about it later," Xiao Qin replied without hesitation. She always remembers that she does not seek merit but seeks no fault.
Central City is very big. Qu Jianlei drove for two and a half hours before we found the place.
It was a settlement on the edge of the central city, the size of a small village.
These two guys were hiding in a deserted house, eating and drinking happily, and they were both a little drunk.
A thinner one spoke, "This time you were wronged a bit. You hide away for two years and then go back and mess with that guy?"
For people in society, it is not shameful to run away, but it is shameful not to be able to regain face.
"I'm afraid it's going to be a bit difficult," the fatter one said, "Patrol Office will take action. We two brothers may have to go to Residential Area to hide."
"Residential Area is familiar to me, and Tian-character District is related to me," the thin man slapped his chest.
Then he said with embarrassment, "It's just that the conditions there at Residential Area are really too bad."
"Oh, how bad is it?" A voice rang.
"Everywhere is bad," the thin man replied casually, and then he realized, "Who the hell are you?"
"You smashed my home camera and you asked me who I am?" A young man walked out of the rain.
The rain was not falling lightly at the moment, but the raindrops did not fall on the visitor at all.
There seemed to be a layer of air cover on his body, and the raindrops that fell on it slipped to the side.
"Ultimate Warrior?" The thin man's body stiffened instantly. He was an ordinary person, but he knew the goods.
Modified Warrior is also invulnerable to wind and rain, but when the attributes are not awakened, an aura cannot be formed around the body.
Without an attribute aura, you still have to get wet when it's time to get wet, but you can handle it yourself.
The next moment, he recognized the person, and felt a chill start to come out all over his body, "S-Sir, this is a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding?" Qu Jianlei walked over and asked expressionlessly, "Who said you would trouble me again in two years?"
That night, both men were quartered.
What Qu Jianlei did was actually not too cruel. He just divided the person into six parts - cutting off the head and limbs.
Then he hung the head directly on the roof and walked away.
In his heart, there was even a trace of emotion: So as a member of Patrol Office, you can still act like this! Xiao Qin saw the whole process, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart: Why do you have to be so cruel?
She felt that if she killed the person, that would be the end of it. Is it necessary to divide it into several pieces?
Wasteland's life is worthless, but he really doesn't have the habit of abusing corpses.
Living people are a threat, but dead people are not.
Anyone who wants to torture corpses must achieve a certain goal. Situations like Wasteland are extremely rare.
But she didn't say anything. After all, this was Jian Lei's behavior and had nothing to do with her.
This was just a casual feeling. What she really cared about was that Qu Jianlei could walk in the rain without getting her clothes wet.
This is a unique performance of Ultimate Warrior. With this feature, it doesn't matter whether it is certified or not.
In fact, some Ultimate Warrior can't do this yet.
On the way back, Xiao Qin couldn't help but ask Qu Jianlei, "What attribute did you awaken?"
Qu Jianlei did not answer, and there was silence in the off-road vehicle.
It wasn't until he arrived at the small courtyard that he asked, "Does it have to have attributes?"
Xiao Qin pursed her lips and said no more. When she got into her car, she closed the door and started pressing Wristwatch.
"Boss, I asked Jian Lei about its attributes just now, and he asked back, does it have to have attributes?"
Jia Mali was silent for a while, and then asked, "What do you think?"
"I don't understand anything," Xiao Qin replied simply, "I don't dare to influence the boss's thinking."
"It doesn't necessarily mean anything," Jia Mali said lightly, "He is also a maintenance engineer with a broad mind."
The next day, news spread that the two gangsters had been killed.
The security of Central City is better than that of Residential Area, but murders are not uncommon, but the murderer's brutality still surprised everyone.
When the news reached the ears of other gangsters, someone immediately said that I was willing to compensate and lose everything.
If you still can't avoid death after paying compensation, then you'll have to admit it. The key is that that person is too cruel.
Not long after, the three Peacekeeper also expressed their willingness to use all their assets to pay compensation.
Only Modified Warrior, whose legs were broken, was silent, but no one cared - this man already had death intentions.
This information was fed back to Jia Mali's ears, and Patrol Chief expressed his attitude: I don't care whether you go bankrupt or not.
Compensation must be paid, otherwise the matter will be unfinished.
Peacekeeping Force can also guess at whose hands those two gangsters died, but this case... there is no way to pursue it.
Qu Jianlei began to continue his otaku life.
However, as the decoration was completed, waves of people came to ask how to rent his house.
After looking at the house, no one thought that the monthly rent of 900 yuan was expensive, but some people still murmured when they heard that it would be possible to rent it for a higher price.
However, after two or three days, price increases began to appear.
At first, it was plus fifty, but soon there were plus one hundred, plus two hundred.
Finally, the person who added three hundred showed up. They were a middle-aged couple who planned to open a restaurant here.
Qu Jianlei feels a little strange, is it so profitable to open a restaurant?
After asking again, I found out that the food cooked by this couple is very famous, so they don't have to worry about customers at all.
Then they were targeted by gangsters who not only demanded protection money, but also forced the men to gamble.
Men don't like gambling, but if they don't play, they won't give each other face, and the restaurant won't be able to open.
They once found someone to talk to each other, but it didn't work much. The gangsters took a step back and just played three times a month.
Anyway, in this matter, the loss of money is one aspect, and it is also frustrating.
The couple heard two days ago that a gangster and Peacekeeper fell into the hands of someone, and that person had a store for rent.
So the two of them rushed over immediately and decided to rent it as long as the difference was Buduo.
Qu Jianlei then realized why some people have been raising prices one after another recently. The co-author has become a protective umbrella for himself.
According to his original intention, he actually didn't want to rent it out to a hotel, not to mention the noise and fumes.
But this couple is indeed a bit pitiful, and they also bring a team.
Qu Jianlei already loves food, so he immediately agreed, "You two make me a table of dishes to try."
The couple got started immediately, and in less than two hours, they cooked a table of sumptuous dishes.
Qu Jianlei tasted it and it tasted really good. "Then the monthly rent of one thousand and two thousand dollars will be rented to you two."
The couple acted quickly and hired several trucks that night to move all their belongings.
In a man's words, there is still half a month's rent over there, but I don't need it anymore.
The opening of the restaurant solved another problem for Qu Jianlei - the other party agreed to buy Mutated Beast meat for him.
The restaurant owner will definitely not buy more expensive ingredients than he does, and the couple is also good at making Mutated Beast meat.
They actually wanted to rent the upstairs as well, and the price was negotiable.
But Qu Jianlei didn't agree. It was his private space. He only agreed to rent out four houses for the other party to rest.
He also made a special partition for this purpose.
It took ten days to move in and renovate the hotel. Simple decoration was enough. The main thing was to prepare the kitchen, separate the private rooms, and make a plaque.
On the second day after the hotel opened, four or five arrogant guys came over and said, "Hey, have you changed the place?"
The little girl at the front desk turned pale with fright, and Boss Lady plucked up the courage to come out.
"You'd better find out who owns this house... the landlord will not allow outsiders to bully the tenants."
"What nonsense," a gangster smiled disdainfully, "What a stupid landlord, do you know who our boss is?"
"Sir Jian Lei, someone scolded you," Boss Lady shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice sharp and high.
Then she looked at the gangster and said, "If you have the guts, can you say it again?"
"Jian Lei Master..." The gangster smiled disdainfully, but then the smile solidified on his face.
"W-Which... which Master Jian Lei?"
"Who is scolding me?" Qu Jianlei's figure appeared on the roof of the second floor, his face not very good-looking.
He was calculating the skills and didn't pay attention to what was happening outside. He was interrupted by this voice, and of course he felt unhappy.
The gangster was dumbfounded when he saw the way he appeared - appearing on the second floor for nothing, at least Modified Warrior.
Thinking about the recent rumors on the road again, he fell to his knees on the spot.
"Sir Jian Lei, the little one deserves to die, your lord has a large number... He who doesn't know is not guilty!"
Chapter 156 Ending (fourth update) Qu Jianlei ignored the kneeling gangster at all, but looked at Boss Lady and spoke expressionlessly.
"What did he scold me for?"
Boss Lady immediately learned a sentence, "What nonsense, what kind of landlord, do you know who our boss is?"
Not to mention, he really learned it perfectly, even his facial expressions and movements, so he has some acting talent.
Qu Jianlei then looked at the gangster, "In a gangster society, you have to understand that your eyebrows are high and your eyes are low... if you cut off your arm, I will spare your life."
In fact, he is not so aggressive in doing things.
But his colleagues always talk about "Patrol Office's face", so he can't let go, can he? The gangster was stunned for a moment, then kept kowtowing, "Sir, spare your life, I know I was wrong."
"Tsk," Qu Jianlei smacked his lips and muttered softly, "It seems that he is really tired of living."
Seeing that the situation was not going well, a gangster next to him took out the dagger from his waist and cut off the gangster's left arm with one knife.
The gangster screamed in pain.
The one who drew the knife put away the dagger and raised his hand to Qu Jianlei on the roof.
"Jian Lei Master, we know we were wrong and we will never come again. Can you let us go this time?"
"I asked him to cut off his arm," Qu Jianlei was a little dissatisfied, "What do you have to worry about?"
"I heard that your boss likes gambling? Let him come back to me to play a few games... It's best not to wait for me to find him."
After he finished speaking, he flashed and disappeared.
Several gangsters picked up the broken arm and ran away with the broken-armed gangster.
"Let me go, is this Mr. Jian Lei?" A spectator next to him whispered softly, "You are so young."
"Congratulations Boss Lady," someone congratulated Boss Lady, "Master Jian Lei has come forward to seek justice for your family."
The couple had many regular customers, and many people knew about their grievances.
But Boss Lady was sensible, she smiled and shook her head.
"How dare we labor your lord? We are just chasing you here to cause trouble, so your lord will naturally maintain the dignity of the patrol."
Still able to speak, Qu Jianlei heard this sentence in the yard, shook his head, and entered the bungalow in the backyard.
The next day, Ma Long came. He helped Qu Jianlei find a job. It was Patrol Office's mecha. This time there were three.
Qu Jianlei was a little speechless, "I'm only responsible for Di-character Room. This time it's free for your sake, but I won't do it next time."
There's no way it won't be free. Ma Long was very helpful from the beginning to the end for what happened last time.
Although Qu Jianlei has promised benefits, one code equals one code - they took the initiative.
After testing the mecha, he invited Ma Long to have a meal at the door.
In the middle, Ma Long went to the bathroom, and when he came back, he asked, "Why did you meet Frost Wolf?"
Frost Wolf? Qu Jianlei blinked, "I have beaten two Frost Wolf King, what do you mean?"
"Have you ever been to Zhou-character Settlement Area?" Ma Long was stunned. He knew where Frost Wolf is a specialty.
But the next moment, he laughed, "It's the one who runs the casino, and the person standing behind him is Rank B Warrior."
Qu Jianlei blinked, "This Frost Wolf... is it also Ultimate Warrior?"
"Absolutely," Ma Long replied with a smile, "How can anyone who dares to open a casino not have the support of Ultimate Warrior?"
Qu Jianlei frowned, "I used to think Ultimate Warrior Buduo, why do I feel like it's everywhere now?"
Ma Long rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Buduo, but it's not a lot. Otherwise, how about establishing Patrol Office?"
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment before speaking, "Order... can't you take care of this casino?"
"How can you control it?" Ma Long shook his head with a look of disapproval.
"Frost Wolf retired to the private sector. Every time he was recruited, he went all out, not only with his efforts but also with money. Who would care about him for such a trivial matter?"
Qu Jianlei also fell silent. The perfect city in Bentley's words... haha, that's all.
Seeing that he was uninterested, Ma Long smiled.
"His men will definitely not dare to harass you again. I just suggest... that you don't go to him until you are strong enough."
Qu Jianlei turned his head and thought about it, Diandian nodded, "Okay, I just said I would look for him later, but I didn't say when."
Two days later, Xiao Qin also heard about this and asked him about it when he came to give him the soil cultivation method.
It doesn't matter to Qu Jianlei, I explained the process again - it's not to protect Patrol Office's reputation, I'm too lazy to do anything.
Xiao Qin was unhappy after hearing this, "Frost Wolf didn't send anyone to bet with you?"
In her words, Ultimate Warrior won't do things like the casino personally, she just sits in the background.
The one who does such disgusting things to ordinary people is none other than Modified Warrior. How dare you not give Patrol Office face?
The other party did not come to apologize, either because there was something wrong with the management, or because Frost Wolf personally gave the order.
Since Ultimate Warrior refused to give face, Xiao Qin said, "I'll go talk to him about this matter."
"You don't have to worry about it, right?" Qu Jianlei felt dizzy again.
He had a feeling that Xiao Qin and Jia Mali both wanted to use various things to push themselves to a certain level.
If he receives too much help and does not repay it... his conscience will not be able to bear it.
Xiao Qin expressed it sternly, "We Patrol Office never give up halfway in our work."
"Ma Long said they could wait," Qu Jianlei asked helplessly, "What are you trying to do by helping me like this?"
If the other party continues to use Patrol Office's reputation as a cover, he will make up his mind not to appreciate it.
However, Xiao Qin's emotional intelligence is not bad, and I heard that his tone was not right.
So she said straightforwardly, "You can do a lot for Patrol Office, and we also need to support you."
Qu Jianlei sighed leisurely, "Take your time."
Since the two Tian-character District have agreed to rely on each other, the procrastination tactic comes in handy.
He didn't want to drag it out forever. As long as his cultivation could protect him, it was natural to give the other party some benefits.
Xiao Qin went to take care of this matter, and sure enough, within two days, a man came to Boss Lady.
This person was the person who had forced the boss to gamble, and he brought more than 6,000 yuan in banknotes.
The Silver Coin that the boss exported was already tens of thousands, and this compensation was simply not enough.
But this person said that he spent it as soon as he had money. Now he can come up with more than 6,000 yuan, which he made by selling his house.
This is also the normal life of most gangsters. It is no exception in any society. Money comes quickly and money is spent quickly.
Then the man took out a dagger and chopped off his left hand. His face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "This hand bears the blame, okay?"
The boss and Boss Lady were both a little dumbfounded when they saw this. They are both honest people - at least they are not promiscuous.
At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the door, "Keep the severed hand and it will be settled."
What Qu Jianlei said was that the other party did not bet against him, but chose to lose money, which was his own decision.
Of course it was good to show mercy, but it was obviously a little guy who came to top the tank, which made him a little unhappy.
Then leave Broken Palm behind. Central City's medical level can connect Broken Palm.
The last time the gangster took away the broken arm, he must have planned to reconnect it. At that time, Qu Jianlei didn't care - he just cursed.
But this time... do you want to play hard with me? Then don't take it with your palm.
A trace of deeply hidden resentment flashed across the gangster's eyes, but he didn't dare to speak. He pinched his left arm and turned around to leave.
This matter should be over now. Next, Peacekeeping Force finally relented.
They did not expect that Patrol Office would openly go to Frost Wolf to put pressure on Jian Lei. This was something they did not expect.
Frost Wolf is just sitting in the casino, and the person behind the scenes is not just him, but someone from Thirty-Six Families.
Patrol Office is so stubborn, Peacekeeping Force doesn't want to hold on any longer.
However, they did not pay full compensation, they just confiscated the belongings of everyone involved - even the former tenants were not spared.
Then, Peacekeeping Force added a little bit symbolically and handed it to Patrol Office.
The main methods of compensation are silver coins and gold. Rank B Crystal has three coins, while Rank A has none at all.
The other party said that we couldn't get these things and could only pay with banknotes. Anyway, Patrol Office, you know Ultimate Warrior a lot.
As for the arrears, they will gradually get better. They said they accept this account.
Qu Jianlei felt that it might become a bad debt or a bad debt, but he let Patrol Chief make the decision.
He and Di-character Room now share the compensation received half and half - the benefits cannot be fully paid for the time being, and you can't blame me.
However, Jia Mali said that he wanted to keep three Rank B Crystal and give Jian Lei some more cash and gold.
As for the welfare of Di-character Room's other people, Patrol Chief said that he would use cash to offset it.
Because he is already Rank B Warrior, he can directly practice with Rank B Crystal, which is a necessity.
Qu Jianlei curled his lips and didn't express any objection - after all, you can't be too greedy if you get a windfall from heaven.
He didn't notice that Jia Mali observed his curling of his lips out of the corner of his eye.
Next, Qu Jianlei returned to a peaceful life.
Like the moon, summer passed in the blink of an eye. In the mid-autumn season, he finally broke through the bottleneck and reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Ordinarily, his cultivation should not improve so quickly.
The main reason is that he has read through a lot of cultivation methods recently, not just Five Major Attributes.
He has also read through the mutated attributes attached to the five elements, such as ice and stone.
In addition, with the support of a windfall, he didn't have to be distracted and could just concentrate on his cultivation. He didn't even have to worry about buying food.
He only needs to go to Patrol Office once a month to collect his salary.
During this period, some people came to him to repair equipment. Because his colleagues had made a little fortune with him, they didn't mind coming to see him.
On this day, he finally broke through the bottleneck, and for a moment he was a little complacent, "The next step is to hit the big realm."
The movement when he broke through was not small, but there was no Ultimate Warrior around, so there was no need to be on guard.
What he didn't expect was that in the restaurant at the door, a chef who was cutting vegetables suddenly stopped his knife.
Then he glanced at the backyard intentionally or unintentionally before continuing to cut vegetables.
This person is a member of the boss's team, his name is Xiao Moshan, he is in his forties or fifties, has very good knife skills, and specializes in cutting vegetables.
