"Hello?"
I'll pick you up at 7 PM tonight, we can have dinner together, my best friend is coming back.
Qin Yu's sweet, cloying voice came through the phone.
"No time."
"I didn't ask you, it's settled then. I'll pick you up at six o'clock."
After saying that, Qin Yu hung up the phone.
Qin Ze was still very curious about this best friend who only existed in Qin Yu's circle of friends.
According to Qin Yu, her best friend's family has a large business.
Let's see if there's a chance to collaborate with the Circus.
It's been a long time since we made that deal with Brother Biao.
"Boss, what was that just now...?"
Huai Xu sneakily approached.
"My sister."
Huai Xu's eyes lit up. "You're going to have dinner tonight, right? I'll go with you, boss. I can pay."
Qin Ze pushed Huai Xu's head aside. "Study hard about the strange beasts these next few days."
"Don't let yourself be so scared of the monsters on the day of the actual battle that you wet your pants and embarrass me."

7 PM.
A luxuriously decorated restaurant.
The melodious sounds of violin and piano lingered for a long time.
The diners were all dressed in high-class attire, and their every move exuded elegance.
In contrast, Qin Ze looked like someone who had just fled a famine.
Wearing faded white sneakers, a wrinkled white short-sleeved shirt, and black shorts, he looked completely out of place.
Dressed in a red evening gown, Qin Yu resembled a blooming rose as she sat opposite Qin Ze.
"Take a look at the menu, order whatever you want, we won't be paying."
Qin Yu tossed a thick menu to his younger brother, then opened the one he was holding.
"Sea creature sashimi, and a Farewell My Concubine dish, please. A large portion of five-colored papaya milk tea, to nourish her..."
In just two minutes, Qin Yu ordered almost half a book, while the waiter's hand was numb from writing it down.
"Do you have anything to add?"
Qin Yu looked at his younger brother.
Qin Ze closed the menu. "Bring one of everything she didn't order."
"Yes, sir."
Although the waiter wore a professional smile, he was inwardly cursing.
Why don't you just say you want the whole menu?
"When is your best friend arriving?" Qin Ze asked after the waiter left.
Qin Yu glanced at the time. "Soon, she's a very busy person."
Immediately, she happily got up and spun around to show her little brother her new dress.
Is it pretty?
Qin Ze looked me up and down. "You want me to tell the truth?"
"Of course, you can use every adjective you can think of to praise me."
Qin Ze organized his thoughts. "It really is quite good-looking, like a... Kun."
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, then instantly transformed into a baring-toothed little tiger.
" Qin Ze!"
"You did this on purpose, didn't you!"
Qin Yu didn't care whether it was a high-end restaurant or not, she just started eating.
Qin Ze, a Level Two Martial Artist, suppressed him with a single hand.
As the siblings were playfully fighting, a pleasant female voice rang out from the side.
"The bond between you two siblings is truly enviable."
Qin Ze turned his head and saw a tall, beautiful woman standing by the table.
Her features were three-dimensional and delicate, and her long, slightly wavy black hair was casually draped behind her head.
She wore a V-neck blue dress, revealing her fair and smooth calves beneath the hem.
On her feet were a pair of white sandals studded with rhinestones, her toes glistening and full.
What's particularly noteworthy is that this is a C-level expert.
Qin Ze couldn't help but think to himself.
Sis, you should save that papaya milk you ordered for yourself to nourish yourself.
This was the first time Qin Ze had seen a woman who could rival Qin Yu in terms of looks.
" Huai'an, quickly teach this little bastard a lesson!"
He committed insubordination!
Qin Yu quickly stood up and went to stand next to her best friend.
One in red and one in blue, like two delicate flowers, drew all eyes to the two.
My best friend smiled and said, "I've neglected my martial arts for many years, how could I possibly be a match for a martial arts champion?"
Qin Ze raised an eyebrow.
Is she a martial artist?
However, Qin Ze did not detect any fluctuations in his qi and blood.
Or, as she just said, having not cultivated for a long time, he is no different from an ordinary person.
Either he's a super big shot who can perfectly conceal his aura.
After thinking about it, Qin Ze felt that the former was more reliable.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
Salted fish can only be friends with other salted fish.
" Xia Huai'an, your sister's friend."
" Qin Ze, your friend's younger brother."
Xia Huai'an smiled and said, "Your brother is really interesting."
Qin Yu scoffed, "Didn't realize he was just a big talker."
The dishes we ordered were served quickly.
There was almost not enough room on the whole table.
" Huai'an, try this! This papaya milk is something I personally ordered for you!"
A-level weaklings offer supplements to C-level masters.
Qin Ze thought Xia Huai'an would explode, but...
"Thanks."
Xia Huai'an took the papaya milk and smiled.
Qin Ze couldn't help but sigh.
It's true what they say, comparisons are odious.
Qin Yu is truly exceptional; how could she possibly have such a refined and elegant lady as her best friend?
The three of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
Xia Huai'an seemed very interested in life at Wuhan University, asking Qin Ze many questions, including about the orientation challenge.
When Xia Huai'an learned that Qin Ze was the freshman who single-handedly defeated all the veterans, his face was filled with disbelief.
Qin Yu was overjoyed, feeling that his little brother had made him proud.
"How did you do that?" Xia Huai'an asked curiously.
"Well... it's like this first, then that, and then you win," Qin Ze said.
Xia Huai'an clapped his hands. "Awesome."
Qin Ze was really embarrassed.
Sister, you really know how to support people.
"What kind of business does Sister Huai'an run?" Qin Ze asked.
Xia Huai'an replied, "The business of sea creatures; I have a fleet specifically for hunting sea creatures."
Rich woman!
She's incredibly rich!
Xia Huai'an suddenly sighed, "A ship went missing a while ago, most likely it encountered the Black Cross Pirates, and now they're demanding ransom."
Qin Ze was stunned.
There really were pirates?
The clones on the Local Area Network became excited upon hearing the news.
"Quickly, ask her where the pirates' lair is!"
"My long-studied theory of boarding can finally be put into practice!"
"And here comes the business!"
"Take down this group of pirates, and let's take off!"
"..."
"Where is their headquarters?" Qin Ze asked impatiently.
Xia Huai'an shook his head. "These pirates are very mysterious. They specialize in hijacking lone cargo ships and frequently appear in the deep sea area south of Thousand Streams Island. Nobody knows their headquarters."
"I see." Qin Ze was a little disappointed.
However, it's harmless.
Although there are no coordinates for the spawn point, you can still bait the area and fish.
Meanwhile, at Fisherman's Wharf.
A large ship flying Circus flag sails out to sea under the cover of night.
The sudden overtime work didn't elicit any complaints from the sailors on deck; instead, they were all incredibly excited, as if they'd been injected with adrenaline.
"Hurry up!"
"Blackbeard, the pirate, we're here!"
It's a cross.
"Black Cross Pirates, here we come!"
"..."
