Taking some chocolates, he went to the Capital City to meet his old friend, the old housekeeper, for tea. Just as he expected, his old friend was easily convinced by him, and the two parties quickly reached an intention to cooperate.
After Jing Jiu and the other party negotiated relevant cooperation matters and signed a contract, the two people, as representatives of Lin Fei, successfully completed their employer's tasks, and then they immediately returned to the manor to resume their lives.
"Uh... you guys got things settled so quickly?" Lin Fei, who followed Lu Qi and recognized almost every location in the mansion, just returned to the living room and sat down when he saw the tea picture that represented his early cooperation with others.
He and Jingjiu walked into the living room.
"Boss, my old friend has been in the snack selling industry for nearly a hundred years. Now his business is booming, so he certainly has good vision.
After I explained my intention and asked him to taste our unique chocolate, he immediately agreed to cooperate with us without any hesitation..." Old Butler Cha Tu described the previous cooperation process to Lin Fei.
Read it again.
"Well, you are so efficient in doing things, very good." Lin Fei smiled and praised the old housekeeper and Jing Jiu.
When the two heard this, they quickly expressed their humility that they were not worthy of it. It was only because of the unique taste and scarcity of chocolate that the cooperation process was achieved so smoothly.
"Boss, according to the negotiated contract, the other party will send someone to pick up the goods the day after tomorrow." Jing Jiu said to Lin Fei.
The day after tomorrow? There is plenty of time. The first batch of goods I ordered from the chocolate factory can be delivered to my warehouse at the flower and bird market tomorrow... Lin Fei nodded and said.
"Well, I will put the goods in the warehouse tomorrow, and you will be responsible for contacting them then."

The spirit world, the spirit world area corresponding to the sixth town of Blue Star, is more than 100 kilometers away from the spirit world station built by humans. The humans who were trapped in the mine site built by landslides were facing a food crisis.
a new crisis.
Outside the mine site, on a flat mountain road under the collapsed hill, several tents were set up in the cleared space.
This area of mountains and forests is guarded by investigators, responsible for guarding against emerging crises.
The person in charge of the safety of the mine is named Xue Liqing, and he has the strength of the early stage of the third stage.
The sky outside was gloomy, and after a while, it began to rain lightly.
The light rain fell on the surrounding flowers, plants and trees, making small sounds. The sense of silence made people feel particularly strong.
Xue Liqing was sitting in the tent, sitting around the campfire with his deputy Wu Xinhua and several "miners", drinking boiled water.
The curtain of the tent was opened, and Wang Ziqian, a researcher at the Institute of Psychic Power, who was wearing a raincoat, strode in. He took off his raincoat and hung it on a branch stuck on the ground as a clothes hanger, while saying to Xue Liqing.
"Xue Liqing, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. We must either go down as soon as possible to solve it, or wait until the weather clears up. I'm worried that the rain will cause the cave entrance to collapse again."
Xue Liqing frowned, shook his head and said, "Wang Ziqian, wait a little longer. If the thing in the cave doesn't take the bait, we won't go down. That thing is not weak. If we go down rashly, our people will be damaged."
The mountain collapsed and the resulting mudslide trapped more than a hundred people in this newly built mining site.
The day before yesterday, Captain Zhao Zhao He, who came to escort the mine car back to the station, left the mine with several subordinates and returned to the station on foot to ask for help.
After Zhao He and the others left, everyone in the mine only had to wait patiently for the rescuers to arrive, but things went counterproductive.
That night, not long after everyone trapped by the mudslide turned off their lights and fell asleep, the siren suddenly sounded.
When everyone came out of the dormitory with weapons and arrived at the location of the attack, the attacker had already escaped, except for one investigator who was seriously injured and on the verge of fainting.
"Lizard...lizard." After saying these two words, the seriously injured investigator immediately fell into a coma.
Fortunately, everyone arrived in time, and the attackers did not arrive and kill the investigators who were on duty at night.
After some rescue efforts, the injured investigator's life was saved, but he was never able to revive.
Later, according to the doctor's diagnosis, the injured person should have been poisoned by the attacker.
Although the antidote developed by humans is effective, the detoxification process is slow, and it takes a certain amount of time for the injured to wake up.
On the night of the attack, everyone thought that the attacker would not appear again. However, to everyone's surprise, the attacker actually launched several more attacks.
Although the other party acted out of common sense, even if the night watchers who had taken precautions were attacked by the attacker again, they did not suffer any serious injuries.
Due to the darkness of the night and the fact that the attackers were not weak and very cunning, the personnel in the mine could only hold their positions and wait for daybreak before launching corresponding counterattacks.
At sunrise, the attacker disappeared, and everyone who had been nervous all night could finally take a break.
After working for several hours, everyone began to search in groups around the mine site.
It took more than an hour and everyone's efforts to find a huge cave near the collapsed hill.
Based on the footprints at the entrance of the cave, everyone can be sure that the attacker climbed out of this cave, and now, nine out of ten, it is hiding in this cave.
Just wait and see.
In order to fish out the attackers in the cave, Xue Liqing, the person in charge of the mine's security, ordered people to hunt and kill an ordinary animal. He hooked the freshly killed animal on an iron hook and threw it into the cave, trying to lure him with the smell of blood.
The attacker took the bait.
"It's been more than a day, and there has been no movement from the hook." Xue Liqing's deputy, Wu Xinhua, shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, wait a minute." Xue Liqing, who was very calm, smiled and said, "We have checked around here, and there is no other exit from this underground cave. That guy has been staying down there, and he always needs to eat...
Even if its eating frequency is not high, it will only hunt when it is extremely hungry. Judging from the number of times it attacked us the night before, it is now the time when it is hungry. It will not be long before it can't help it.
Take the bait."
"The problem is that we don't have much food left. If it doesn't take the bait tonight and we continue to consume it, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on," researcher Wang Ziqian said.
Wang Ziqian's words caused everyone in the tent to fall into silence.
At this time, an investigator with mid-level second-level strength spoke very optimistically.
"Two days have passed since Zhao He brought his people back to the station. They must have arrived at the station and reported the situation here to their superiors."
Everyone said "Yeah", and someone echoed, "You're right, maybe the rescuers arranged by the authorities are already on their way."
The silent atmosphere at the scene disappeared, and everyone started to talk about what food the rescuers would bring. From this point of view, everyone had not eaten enough in the past few days due to lack of food.
Xue Liqing saw that the topic of discussion had strayed. He laughed helplessly at first, and then changed the topic back, "Okay, let's pause the topic of food for now. Let's find a way to deal with that guy first!"
The raindrops hit the tent and made a crackling sound. When there was only one sound left in the world, it highlighted a sense of tranquility.
Xue Liqing drank boiled water and suddenly said, "This time we encountered such a thing, it is bad to say it is bad, and it is good to say it is good."
"What's so good about this? Everyone is almost out of food," someone said.
"Although the situation is very bad now, the difficulties we face this time can be regarded as giving us humans an added experience of the difficulties we may encounter in the spiritual world." Xue Li said happily in pain.
"That makes sense..." Everyone nodded.
"Roar..." Just as the people in trouble were enjoying their misery, a shrill roar of an animal came from outside the tent.
"That thing took the bait." Everyone who heard the beast's roar thought in their hearts.
In the tent, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Xue Liqing was the first to rush out of the tent, followed by his deputy Wu Xinhua, and then others.
In the rain curtain, a dozen investigators held lighting equipment, and several more investigators worked together to pull a rope as thick as a child's forearm. The rope collapsed straight and went deep into a dark hole on the ground.
Finally took the bait...
Xue Liqing and others were surprised and happy. What was surprising was that the combined power of several second-level mid-level practitioners could not drag that hateful guy out. What was happy was that the wait tonight was not in vain.
"Prepare resin from the kerosene tree and barbed wire!"
Xue Liqing shouted the order while rushing over. He grabbed the rope made of iron wire and hemp thread with both hands. He shouted in a deep voice and worked hard with his companions behind him.
"Roar……"
The beast's roar from the cave became increasingly shrill and louder, and then, a black shadow was pulled out.
The wind and rain swayed, and the lights swayed, illuminating the appearance of the attacker.
It is 3 meters long, looks like a lizard, and is covered in horny skin. It has a face like a mouse on the Blue Star, its eyes are gray and white, slightly dull, and its eyesight seems to be very poor.
Gray blood flowed from its mouth, and the iron hook penetrated deeply into its upper jaw.
The rat lizard was illuminated by the light of the lighting equipment and gave the investigators a loud roar that shook the air. But the next thing it looked like, it turned around and fled back into its burrow.
"Cast the net!" Xue Liqing shouted.
The investigators, who had been prepared for a long time, threw out the big nets in their hands and covered the rat lizard.
The giant rat lizard was so powerful that it tore apart the barbed wire with its claws, breaking a big hole. It got out of the net and continued to escape into the hole. Because it knew that it was in great danger, it burst out with terrible strength.
Xue Liqing stumbled and was almost knocked over by it. The investigator with the initial level of third-level strength suddenly turned red, and veins bulged on his forehead.
He raised his foot, hooked the rope, wrapped it around it a few times, and then stepped on it hard.
The rat lizard's head was suddenly pulled up, and more gray blood poured out of its large mouth.
On this side, Xue Liqing seized the opportunity, shouted angrily, drew out the spiritual weapon sword, and mobilized the spiritual energy. After the spiritual weapon sword was attached to the spiritual energy, it immediately turned red.
The tip of the sword points toward the throat of the rat lizard, which is a weakly protected area because it is not covered with horny skin.
The rain curtain was torn apart in an instant, and the raindrops that unfortunately came into contact with the sword seemed to drip onto a piece of hot iron, making a hissing sound and turning into a burst of white smoke.
"puff!"
The long sword, a red spiritual weapon that was burnt by fire, pierced the rat lizard's throat, and gray blood immediately overflowed, like a spring from the ground.
"Roar……"
The rat lizard roared shrilly and swept its long and powerful tail, hitting Xue Liqing's chest with such force that he was thrown away like a kite with its string cut off.
Fortunately, Xue Liqing was wearing armor, so it was not difficult for him to be seriously injured by this blow.
The rat lizard, which had suffered a big loss, became angry and no longer thought about escaping. Instead, it twisted around, stretched out its limbs, turned into a black shadow and rushed towards Xue Liqing.
Sensing that the opponent was coming toward him, Xue Liqing rolled sideways and avoided it perfectly. Several investigators behind him also dodged.
Fortunately, these investigators reacted quickly enough. Otherwise, with their strength and lack of armor, if they were attacked by the rat lizard, their muscles and bones would be broken and they would be seriously injured on the spot.
After Xue Liqing rolled a few times, he stood up without any stagnation. Only a third-level practitioner could make such quick and natural movements.
He snatched the fist-sized porcelain bottle from an investigator's hand and threw the porcelain bottle towards the rat lizard with a wave of his hand.
Seeing this, other investigators followed suit.
"Bang bang bang..."
The porcelain bottle was smashed on the rat lizard's thick horny armor, and resin extracted from the fire oil tree in the spiritual world was poured all over it.
"Lights locked." Xue Liqing shouted to his companions, and then he ran wildly. In the process, he was about to get close to the rat lizard.
He suddenly knelt on his knees, leaned back, and made a sliding shovel. At that moment, the rat lizard, which was covered in resin, stretched out its limbs and tried to kill Xue Liqing.
Both sides went up and down, passing by each other.
With years of combat experience, Xue Liqing predicted the rat lizard's attack.
He calmly used his superpower, and used the long sword, a spiritual weapon that was transformed by the superpower to burst out sparks, across the belly of the rat lizard, igniting the resin on its body.
"Peng."
The flames spread quickly and engulfed the rat lizard.
After the resin of the fire oil tree was ignited, the rain could not extinguish it. The rat lizard let out a shrill scream and rolled wildly in the mud, trying to extinguish the raging flames on its body.
Xue Liqing calmly gave the order, "Keep the distance and prepare to attack with a short gun."
A dozen investigators were holding short guns that had been prepared for a long time. They twisted their waists and waved their arms vigorously to throw the short guns that were attached with psychic energy.
"Puff..."
Some of the short spears pierced the cuticles that had become brittle due to fire and were nailed into the body of the rat lizard, while others were deflected by some cuticles that could not be brittle by fire.
Soon, the rat lizard was stabbed into a large hedgehog by the dense short spears. It gradually stopped struggling, the flames were still burning, and the air was filled with a burning and strange stench.
