Chapter 161: Unknown people (first update: He Mengzhu is cold-blooded)
Jia Mali chose to come to the courtyard at noon. In addition to asking about the situation, he also wanted to go to the restaurant to enjoy himself.
In addition to him, there were Qu Jianlei, Xiao Qin and Black Panther in the private room.
He just pretended that no one could hear him, so he asked loudly, "Jian Lei, in what direction do you continue to improve?"
Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "Improve resource utilization, reduce body damage, and increase the speed of cultivation."
He answered very simply, but the three people listening were stunned at the same time.
Is there a problem with the answer? No, but... this kind of normality is outrageous.
Black Panther's question can represent everyone's mood, "In two to three months, can we take care of all three?"
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes helplessly, "What if I have to take a rest afterwards? It's really tiring."
The two fell silent. Jia Mali thought for a moment and asked, "How much can this resource utilization rate... be improved?"
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and then replied, "At least ten times."
Patrol Chief thought about it and picked up the wine glass, "This is a toast to Jian Lei. Thank you for your hard work. I wish you success as soon as possible."
Qu Jianlei drank a glass of wine and took a deep breath, "Boss, I used a lot of crystals in the calculation process..."
"It can't be short of yours," Jia Mali Big Hand waved, "I will arrange for Black Panther to bring it to you in two days."
Two days later, Black Panther handed five Rank B Crystal to Qu Jianlei.
"Patrol Chief said it, but it's not enough... By the way, he asked me for a copy of the initial successful training plan."
Want to learn from other attributes? Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Let him do whatever he wants."
What he didn't expect was that Jia Mali took this training plan to verify a tenfold resource utilization rate.
Thinking about it in Patrol Chief, Jian Lei is really amazing and talented, but after all, he is a bit young and energetic.
It is normal for young people to like to exaggerate, and he was also very arrogant at this age.
And resource utilization is really important. The resources of Central City are not too few, but they are definitely Buduo.
With the same resources, if one Rank B Warrior and ten Rank B Warrior are piled up, are they the same?
He didn't even expect to reach ten times. If it reached six or seven times, he could count it as ten times.
If it can really reach ten times, then it will not only be a question of how much the reward will be, but also this person... he will be of great use! But he didn't want Black Panther to know about his thoughts. That guy was reborn, and he was especially grateful to Jian Lei.
But wind is an abnormal attribute. For such Ultimate Warrior and Buduo, the key is to be strict with your words.
More than a month later, while investigating a case, he unexpectedly found a suitable candidate.
That is the descendant of the Douglas Family among Thirty-Six Families, named Mike, thirty-four or five years younger than Buduo.
This person has always had a good reputation, and he has a stable atmosphere. The key is... Rank B Warrior of the Douglas Family died three years ago.
Thirty-Six Families has a default rule, Rank B Warrior must be in charge, and people who are not members of the clan must get married.
Even if it doesn't work, you have to hire a frontman and the family will support you.
If Rank B Warrior disappears from the family, the impact may not be significant in the short term, but it will definitely not be effective in the long term.
Rank B Warrior of the Douglas Family is a direct descendant of the clan and is in the prime of life - at least far short of his lifespan.
So there is no need for this family to invite Rank B Warrior.
There are many theories about the cause of his death. In the past three years, the family has been contacting Rank B Warrior.
But unfortunately, Douglas Family has not deliberately tried to please any Rank B Warrior before.
Central City Rank B Warrior is only in his early sixties, and Thirty-Six Families is not enough to distribute two to each family.
Some Rank B Warrior with whom I have a good relationship promised to help protect Douglas Family, but in name only.
In the past three years, Douglas Family has acted very low-key, but its power has continued to shrink.
For up to ten years, if Douglas Family does not show up as Rank B Warrior, the consequences will be serious.
Jia Mali and Mike were not very familiar, but he believed that the other party would not dare to go against his words.
Even if Douglas Family's Rank B Warrior is still alive, I dare not ignore his Patrol Chief.
In a caring tone, Patrol Chief asked about Mike's cultivation and how long it would take for Rank B to advance.
Mike was flattered and said that Rank B was out of reach and would take at least twenty years to accumulate.
Jia Mali pretended that he didn't know what the other party's attributes were, and asked casually, but the other party said it was Wind Attribute.
Then Patrol Chief said that my people have developed a cultivation method, which happens to be Wind Attribute's. Can you help me test it? There is definitely no problem with Mike. He is eager to get closer to Patrol Chief.
As for the need to sign a confidentiality agreement regarding cultivation methods, this is not a problem at all. It is simply common sense.
He didn't even find anyone to testify - doing this would mean he didn't believe Jia Mali and would offend people.
Although Patrol Office has a notorious reputation, it still has a reputation for fairness.
Then Mike followed Patrol Office, was blindfolded, and drank a bowl of something unknown.
Then he was taken into a sealed space.
Wind Attribute's strongest ability is perception. Mike can feel that there are some strange devices around it.
He couldn't tell the specific situation, but there was no problem in analyzing one or two of them.
Then he calmed down, at least this was a normal cultivation mode and no one was trying to harm him.
After the death of the pillar of the family, he was also one of the children who had high hopes for him, so he had to be cautious.
However, the next moment, his calm heart suddenly became violently agitated, because someone put a stone in his hand.
He knew very well what this was, "Rank B Crystal?"
Douglas Family really does not lack this thing, and Mike is a Wind Attribute warrior.
Even if he has never seen Rank B Crystal, he can still feel it, not to mention that he has five of them in his own collection.
"Don't talk," Jia Mali's voice sounded, "Follow your daily practice."
Mike also guessed the other party's intention, and his heart beat wildly for a while, "Okay, thank you for your help."
It took him Buduo five minutes to calm down and then start practicing the exercises.
He felt the sensitivity of Wind Attribute immediately, "Do you directly practice with Rank B Crystal?"
Although he had vaguely guessed it, this surprise still interrupted his performance.
"Huh?" Jia Mali snorted unhappily, "Don't be distracted, remember the feeling."
Mike quickly gathered his mind and performed the exercises again two minutes later.
I don't know how long it took, but a cold voice sounded, "That's it."
Mike slowly finished the exercise, then stood up, without taking off his blindfold, and bowed deeply in the direction of the sound.
"Thank you, Master Jia Mali. This kindness and kindness will be unforgettable."
"There's nothing to thank," Jia Mali said coldly, "Follow me."
After walking out of that place, Mike took off his blindfold and his first words were.
"Thank you, sir. I, Douglas Family, am willing to purchase this cultivation method at a high price."
When he thought about it, Patrol Chief did this in private just to sell the skills at a high price.
The cultivation method cannot be changed hands privately, this is the rule of Central City, but this cultivation method is obviously not obtained in the right way.
Even if the other party is not allowed to spread it, it doesn't matter. If he practices in this way, he may be able to advance to Rank B within ten years.
Just to alleviate the family's crisis, this is what he will get no matter how much he spends.
Jia Mali looked at him indifferently, "Who asked you to acquire it?"
Then he turned around and left slowly, "Remember to keep it a secret."
Mike stood there, stunned: Don't say anything, what are you planning to do?
He moved his mouth, wanting to speak, but in the end he didn't dare to say a word.
But this discovery made him get weirder and weirder the more he thought about it. After returning home, he couldn't help but ask the elders in the clan for advice.
——Jia Mali asked him to keep it a secret, but people within the family... just don't pass it on to the third person.
He was looking for an elder in the clan, a warrior from Water Attribute, who was well-informed and most importantly, very wise.
The elder was shocked when he heard what he said, and asked again and again if it was your hallucination.
But hallucination... how is it possible?
Not to mention that there are no Mental Attribute warriors now, even if there are, Mike is best at perception.
After the elder was finally sure, he pondered, "Is this... he is playing hard to get, trying to get a high price?"
Mike has also considered this possibility, but he can analyze it calmly, "This possibility is possible, but it is not very likely!"
"Jia Mali has a good reputation in this area, and he is Patrol Chief. How greedy must he be to dare to violate the rules?"
"You must never regard anyone as a good person," the elder smiled nonchalantly.
"Who he is, we have to find out in private."
The elder's connections and ability to move are of course much stronger than Mike, and he even has good relationships with several Rank B Warrior.
However, after asking for more than ten days, he had to admit, "This Jia Mali is really capable of doing things."
Mike couldn't hide his disappointment when he heard this, "Then... let's forget it?"
"How could we just let it go?" The elder was not willing to let it go... The family was so lacking Rank B Warrior.
He pondered for a moment and said, "This kind of cultivation method is unheard of, and it is relatively unpopular Wind Attribute..."
"It's very possible that Jia Mali was obtained accidentally. He wanted to find you to test the effect."
"Since he refuses to sell it, let's think of a way to see where he has been recently and find it ourselves."
Facts have proved that Patrol Chief of Di-character Room is very busy and travels all over Central City.
Douglas Family I still have to check it secretly, and the process is very hard.
The results are also obvious. Many of the messages involve Jian Lei.
But when I checked Jian Lei's information, I found that he was a "Mechanical Maintenance Consultant", which seemed to have nothing to do with the way of cultivation.
Moreover, Jian Lei lives in Central City. This peculiar way of cultivation is unlikely to appear in Central City.
Otherwise, someone would have discovered it long ago, why wait until now?
Then, someone finally discovered the anomaly, "Last winter, Jia Mali frequently visited Tian-character District!"
(First update, He Meng masters the cold-blooded animal jellyfish.)——————
Chapter 162: Wanted criminals gather together (Second update: Congratulations to Meng Zhu Fenglu) While Douglas Family was secretly investigating Jia Mali, Qu Jianlei was improving the cultivation method without knowing anything.
On this day, the exercises were improved relatively smoothly, but it was a little too late to make the next improvement.
So Black Panther left relatively early, and Qu Jianlei planned to stay at home until dinner and go to a restaurant to eat.
But just when it was getting dark and dinner was about to come, someone knocked on the door.
The small courtyard is now well renovated. Qu Jianlei found out through surveillance that it was an unknown young man.
He was too lazy to go out and asked directly on the intercom, "What's the matter with you?"
The young man shook the envelope in his hand and said, "Someone asked me to bring you a letter, saying that you would give me three Silver Horn."
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei frowned and walked quickly to the door.
He took the envelope, opened it and looked at it. Seeing that the young man was a little anxious, he gave three Silver Horn.
The little guy spread his legs and ran away quickly.
With Qu Jianlei's character, he is very careful about everything, but "three Silver Horn" itself is a code.
He walked back with the letter, which contained the agreed Secret Code.
It was said that one had to calculate and compare to know what was written, but when he walked back to the house, he had already understood it.
It was Bentley who came, Central City, but there was a problem with his identity, so he could only stay outside the city. He was worried that he would not be able to withstand the investigation when he entered the city.
It's already been Buduo a year since we said goodbye, and Qu Jianlei misses them both.
So he drove out directly and arrived at his destination more than an hour later.
Bentley has a bunch of trinkets on his shoulders and is standing on the roadside selling goods. At first glance, he looks like a small vendor.
This guy's level of makeup is also very high, and his figure has even changed. He looks like a stout middle-aged man.
Qu Jianlei didn't even recognize him, but he shouted from about ten meters away, "Jian Lei!"
Because he was looking for someone, Qu Jianlei drove the car very slowly. Hearing this, he quickly stopped. When he saw him, Diandian nodded and said, "Get in the car."
Bentley got on the bus and said with a smile, "Have you got your official identity?"
"I got it," Qu Jianlei Diandian said, "But I've been having some trouble lately, so I can't guarantee you two to come."
According to the rules of Central City, residents with formal status can sponsor up to three people to enter urban life.
But the price of residence is very beautiful, and it is a stepped price.
The one-month residence fee for sponsoring one person is one hundred Silver Coin, the second person's fee is three hundred, and the third person's fee is nine hundred.
Too expensive? If it's expensive, why don't you come? How about a poor guy who wants to vouch for someone?
Qu Jianlei If he guarantees three people, he won't be able to afford the rent of his front house.
However, if he guarantees two people, it will only cost four hundred Silver Coin, which is not a big burden for him.
"It's good to rely on each other," Bentley smiled nonchalantly.
He has lived in Central City for so long that he is not unusual at all.
He focused on another question, "Trouble... need help?"
"Wait until you get to Rank B," Qu Jianlei smiled upon hearing this, "The main thing now is not to embarrass you two."
"Who are you looking down on?" Bentley was unconvinced after hearing this, "Now let Jia Mali come over and see how I torture him."
You may not be able to torture him, Qu Jianlei knows it very well, regardless of the conflicting attributes of the two, Patrol Chief is Rank B after all.
Last time, the two of them were not familiar with each other, and Jia Mali suffered a disadvantage. Even if he was prepared, Bentley probably couldn't beat him.
The old man's cultivation may have improved a bit recently, so it's understandable to brag, but it's wrong to take it seriously.
So Qu Jianlei changed the topic directly, "Lao Ben, what is the surname of your enemy Huang-character District?"
Bentley looked at him suspiciously, "Didn't I say that it was my business?"
"I asked Jia Mali," Qu Jianlei replied with a frown, "From what he said, the water in Huang-character District is relatively deep."
"Hedley Family?" Bentley snorted, then shook his head, "It's not his house."
Hedley Family is also one of Thirty-Six Families. "At most, he has some friendship with Hedley. He is Bunker Family."
"Bonk?" Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, secretly remembering this family.
Bentley glanced at him, "Unless I can't survive, otherwise, you can keep these people for me."
Qu Jianlei heard this and Diandian nodded, "Yellow Scorpion How are you doing now? Can you keep up with your cultivation speed?"
Bentley smiled, with a fatherly expression, "Dai Xingyan has had a lot of contact with her... they are all caring people."
Qu Jianlei looked at him strangely, "When I was here, your relationship wasn't very good, right?"
"Isn't this because you are gone?" Bentley replied casually, "We can only rely on each other for survival."
Qu Jianlei smiled and said, "Go to my place to stay for two days? Patrol Office Consultant, most people don't dare to check."
"Whether you want to go or not," Bentley said firmly, "I can go back once I know you're fine."
Qu Jianlei How could he let him go like this? "There are delicious food and some banknotes to take back and spend."
The two came to the small courtyard. The restaurant was already full, so Qu Jianlei asked the cook to send them to the second floor.
Bentley couldn't sit still when he smelled the aroma of the food, opened his cheeks and started eating.
After a hearty meal, the two strolled back to the bungalow.
Bentley mentioned some doubts about cultivation - some were his and some were Hua Xiezhi's.
Qu Jianlei specially closed several doors to prevent Xiao Moshan from eavesdropping.
However, after chatting until late at night, Xiao Moshan still appeared in the courtyard and coughed lightly.
Qu Jianlei opened the door and welcomed him in, while Bentley looked at him curiously.
Xiao Moshan ignored him, but spoke seriously to Qu Jianlei.
"Someone has been asking about you recently, and it feels like... it should have something to do with Frost Wolf."
"Frost Wolf?" Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, feeling a little bad, "Isn't the matter already revealed?"
Xiao Moshan replied sternly, "I heard that that person is quite shady, and it's normal to hold grudges and settle accounts later."
Qu Jianlei Thinking about it, he left that guy's severed palm behind, so he didn't give him any face.
But tens of thousands of Silver Coin, just to exchange for a broken palm, is quite a deal, right? "Is it the ice type?" Bentley narrowed his eyes, "Dare you find trouble?"
"Forget it, don't worry," Qu Jianlei glanced at him. The traces of Electromagnetic Attribute's attack were very obvious.
Xiao Moshan said, "I'm just letting you know that if there is any abnormality, I will warn you in advance."
"Friends of Wind Attribute?" Bentley had made a guess just now, but now it was finally confirmed, "The early warning is good."
Xiao Moshan didn't have a good temper. He looked at him lightly and said, "If you really want to take action, it may not be any worse than you Electromagnetic Attribute... Huh?"
After being stunned for a moment, he spoke thoughtfully, "Electromagnetic Attribute's cultivation method has been lost, right?"
A fierce light flashed in Bentley's eyes, and he turned to look at Qu Jianlei, "Jian Lei?"
That is to say, he saw that the other party had a good relationship with Qu Jianlei and seemed to want to please him, otherwise he would have taken action directly.
However, is the warrior of Wind Attribute really so strong in perception?
Qu Jianlei smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, his identity is somewhat similar to yours."
"Oh," Bentley understood instantly, and his vigilance immediately dropped.
But he still warned the other party sternly, "Don't mention the Electromagnetic Attribute matter again, you can't afford the consequences."
"What can't you afford?" Xiao Moshan smiled disdainfully, "Didn't he figure it out for you?"
Bentley had a fierce light in his eyes again, staring at the other party, but he was shouting Qu Jianlei.
"Jian Lei, this guy... really doesn't need to be killed?"
"Haha," Xiao Moshan sneered, "Let's not talk about whether you can solve my problem..."
"Even in terms of charges, you are much younger than me. If you don't believe me, just ask Jian Lei."
Qu Jianlei looked at Bentley and spread his hands helplessly, "This... he is from Canyon!"
"Canyon?" Bentley's eyes widened instantly. It could be seen that this word still shocked him.
Then he looked at Xiao Moshan up and down, then at Qu Jianlei, and couldn't help but ask questions.
"Jian Lei, isn't this the fugitive of...Canyon?"
Neither of them answered this question.
"I feel relieved now," Bentley finally relaxed completely.
After a pause, he burst out laughing again, "Jian Lei, who are the people you come in contact with?"
Then he looked at Xiao Moshan, "Sit down, I'll pretend I don't know your identity, and don't tell anyone about me."
Xiao Moshan Boss sat down unceremoniously, "Jian Lei knows how to deduce the techniques, and I'm not the only one who knows them."
"What?" Bentley continued to be dumbfounded. He looked at Qu Jianlei in disbelief, "Are you really not afraid?"
Qu Jianlei I really don't know how to answer this question. It's too complicated and sensitive to explain.
The most important thing is that he was accidentally peeked into the background, which made him feel ashamed of his IQ.
"Anyone who knows will not talk nonsense," or Xiao Moshan came to the rescue.
With his perceptual ability, of course he knew that there were three more insiders, but those three... none of them were absolutely reliable.
Bentley looked at Qu Jianlei in surprise again, "Do you already know so many wanted criminals?"
"How are you talking?" Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes helplessly, "I just think that sooner or later, I have to integrate into normal life."
"Tch," Bentley and Xiao Moshan snorted when they heard this.
Xiao Moshan looked at him deeply and said, "Stop thinking so much. Normal life... is too far away from you."
Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "How did you say this?"
Xiao Moshan couldn't answer this question and could only change the topic. He looked at Bentley.
"This Frost Wolf, should we strike first?"
"As long as you are interested, I will definitely accompany you," Bentley How can you tolerate being looked down upon by the other party?
Then he looked at Qu Jianlei, "I haven't been around Central City for a long time. Who is behind this guy?"
"Also, why did he have a grudge against you?"
Ask the other party's power first, and then ask the reason. Once you hear it, you will know that it is one of your own.
