Chapter 301 Going down the tower (failed to ask for leave)
"Well, I did see it. The last time I came to the lighthouse, you were the one who checked the visa, right?"
"Yes, I didn't expect that Miss Chixiao could still remember me."
The guard smiled shyly, a little embarrassed.
"My memory is pretty good." Chi Xiao also smiled and handed over his visa.
While the guard was checking the visa, doing his usual routine, he whispered:
"I got a promotion and a salary increase this year."
"Ah? Congratulations." Chi Xiao nodded.
"I'm getting off work soon. Miss Chixiao, are you free? I think I'd like to treat you to a meal." The guard finally plucked up the courage.
He had this urge last time, but unfortunately, Chi Xiao left too quickly. He had just joined the job at that time and had no confidence.
Things are different now. He has been promoted and received a salary increase. He is now a civil servant with excellent remuneration.
He felt that he had found true love, so he could not give up this opportunity to pursue true love.
Chi Xiao:?
This situation was somewhat beyond her expectation, but Chi Xiao simply shook his head:
"Thank you for not looking at me differently because of my disability, but I'm sorry that we are not suitable."
The clear refusal made the guard's heart drop to pieces, and the courage he had just raised was gone.
"I am a warrior, I am actually very powerful..."
Under the watchful eyes of the guard, Chi Xiao picked up the pen on the table and waved his finger gently. The pen immediately turned into a flowing liquid. After a few squirms, the pen actually turned into something else.
Although it is still a fountain pen, the overall appearance has completely changed and it looks brand new.
"Do you understand? We are not suitable, so I am sorry."
Chi Xiao nodded to the guard, took back his ID, and left the review office.
The guard looked at the pen that had changed its appearance and lowered his head dejectedly, looking a little sad.
"Is she doing a magic trick for me? Wow, Miss Chixiao, I'm crying to death..."
However, his sad mood was quickly interrupted when the old colleague said loudly:
"After get off work and after get off work, those who work overtime are idiots."
"get off work."
…
After leaving the airship platform, Chi Xiao glanced at the tower, and she felt a familiar presence there.
"There are people I know in a place like a high tower? Forget it, let's deal with other things first."
This time when she came to Lighthouse, she didn't forcefully use her psychic powers and fruit abilities. The city of Lighthouse was not very good at other things, and its local surveillance was absolutely top-notch.
As long as the psychic fluctuations are exposed, the vigil here will definitely find her.
There should be some energy detection and positioning array effect.
Walking to the bus station, Chi Xiao took a lighthouse city-circuit bus because her appearance was too unique for ordinary people.
Moreover, the metal prosthetics of the arms and legs are also very obvious, so it is inevitable that some people will point at them.
Chi Xiao was already accustomed to such looks. She had seen too much and experienced too much, so she couldn't even talk about being angry.
The experience in the Red Moon Temple gave her stronger power, but the experience in Tianrui Lifeng made her no longer abuse her power.
So she won't be like some powerful extraordinary beings who would kill other people's whole families just by looking at her.
The car started slowly, and a little boy about 7-8 years old stood next to Chi Xiao. He came over on his own initiative.
This little boy's gaze was different from the others. His gaze was mainly focused on Chi Xiao's arms and legs, his eyes shining brightly.
Of course, Chi Xiao had already noticed the existence of this little boy.
She bent down slightly, slowly stretched out her prosthetic leg, and tapped the surface with her other hand, making a "dang-dang-dang" sound.
"Iron, awesome, right?" Chi Xiao raised his eyebrows.
"Well, that's awesome." The light in the little boy's eyes became brighter.
The woman with a child on the side quickly came over and nodded to Chi Xiao sheepishly:
"Xiao Ming, come here quickly. This lady is sorry. The child is a little playful. He didn't mean any offense."
"It's fine."
From the perspective of people at Chi Xiao's level, there is no difference between ordinary people and ants.
Just like those supreme angels and evil gods of the void, her level is exactly the same as those existences.
But she wouldn't really put herself in that position, because she is human.
As a human being, you will seek respect. From the little boy's eyes, she felt respect, not respect because of power.
This is a comfortable emotion.
"Hey, boy, this is for you."
Chi Xiao casually took out a metal ball, which quickly turned into a metal villain in Chi Xiao's hands.
If Xu Le were here, he would definitely collect it.
Because this thing looks like a mini Chixiao figure, and it is very exquisitely made.
"Can I take this?"
"sure."
The woman on the side also felt Chi Xiao's kindness, and she was a person who was very aware of current affairs. She had already noticed that Chi Xiao was unusual.
So she knew very well that she could not refuse the gift from such a person.
"Thank you very much."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Aunt?
Chi Xiao:……#
The originally cute child suddenly became annoying.
"You're welcome, then, goodbye." Chi Xiao did not continue to speak, but got out of the car under the focused gaze of everyone.
Looking at the sky that was starting to darken and the bus going away, Chi Xiao smiled slightly:
"This city may not be as bad as I thought, at least the people here are not as bad."
If Chi Xiao had any memories of the city of Beacon, it would probably be that the night watchman chopped off her arm and killed her whole family.
She didn't quite understand political struggles before, but now...
I still can't understand it now, and I can't even forgive it.
Night Watch Heroes Monument Square in Lower Town.
"That's probably where it is."
At this time, there were still many people in the Night Watch Square, but they were not worshipers, but night watchmen and guards at work.
When he saw Chi Xiao getting out of the car, the night watchman had already noticed her.
People with such weird looks must be the focus of the night watchman.
"What do you do?"
"Just passing by."
Chi Xiao waved his hand, turned and left.
The night watchman actually wanted to catch up and ask the woman's identity, but looking at Chi Xiao's back, he hesitated again.
"never mind."
Chixiao didn't want to cause trouble for herself. If a fight broke out, she could indeed solve the problem here, but it would also attract the attention of the top management of the lighthouse.
She didn't want to attract attention this time.
"Let's have something to eat."
She didn't leave Monument Square too far, so she started searching nearby, looking for a place to eat.
However, there were too few places for late-night snacks in Dingtaoxia Town. She walked around but couldn't find a place where she could sit down and have something to eat.
"I remember that the lighthouse was not that poor before. In just over 10 years, the monument in the Lower City has become like this."
At this time, the lower city of the lighthouse was somewhat dilapidated. Even at the location of the Night Watch Monument, it was still far from prosperous.
This is obviously different from Chi Xiao's impression more than ten years ago.
After finally finding a small restaurant, Chi Xiao saw the night watchman across the street.
"What are these night watchmen checking?" She was a little confused.
Her question was heard by the hotel owner, who enthusiastically explained:
"You don't know. The night before yesterday, Mrs. Luo Juya, the wife of the mayor of District B of Xiacheng District, was killed here. I heard that she died tragically and her body was burned black."
Upon hearing this result, Chi Xiao narrowed his eyes.
"Luo Juya?"
"Hey, where are the people?"
Chi Xiao had disappeared. The boss who served the meal looked at the ten dollars on the table and then at the rice bowl in his hand. He could only carefully put down the rice and take the money away.
Chixiao has arrived at the alert area set up by the night watchman.
When the night watchman saw such a person coming in, he immediately took warning:
"Stop, who are you?"
Chi Xiao, who was stopped, did not hesitate this time and directly took out a emblem and placed it in front of the night watchman.
"Owl."
"Uh?" The night watchman was stunned for a moment and wanted to stop him, but saw that the people around him had already pulled him down.
"They are from the Red Moon Temple."
After knowing Chi Xiao's identity, these night watchmen did not stop him.
The identity of the Red Moon Temple may not be enough, but Xiao is different. It is an absolute force department. They are just a group of night watchmen, and there is no need to provoke them.
"It's been two days, I don't know how many clues are left." Chi Xiao checked the traces of the battle here.
The scene is well preserved, at least now you can still see very clear flames burning, and there are many traces of energy impact.
Chi Xiao looked at it very carefully, but unfortunately a long time had passed and something was always missing.
Standing up and looking at the group of night watchmen, Chi Xiao waved to the leader:
"Come here." Chi Xiao was not as polite to extraordinary people as she was to ordinary people, and she had a very bad impression of the night watchmen, let alone a good attitude.
The captain of the night watchman was also very knowledgeable and quickly came to Chi Xiao:
"Sir, do you need any help?"
"Give me a copy of your investigation report during this period."
"This is against the rules..."
As soon as the young man next to him opened his mouth, he was kicked by the captain of the night watchman:
"What are the rules and regulations? The adults from the Red Moon Temple are here to help us investigate the case. Come and get the report."
The young man is ignorant, but the captain of the night watchman is full of awe and vigilance.
Chi Xiao shook his head slightly and said:
"Don't worry, I'm just passing by temporarily and happened to see what's going on here and want to know what's going on.
Even if you reject me, I will not kill you all."
Captain of the Night Watch:...
Look, look, what people say is so polite.
Even if I don’t give it, I won’t kill them all. Thank you so much!
"The four major city-states are connected by the same spirit, and this level of help is what we should do."
With the strong cooperation of the night watchmen, Chi Xiao quickly obtained information about the assassination.
Chi Xiao quickly scanned it and extracted useful information.
After seeing the giant bear claws, frost breath, and photos of Judgment Thunder, she was basically convinced.
Ice bear fruit, the fruit of thunder and lightning.
"Xu Le did it."
As the only person in the Mother Tree Realm who is connected to Xu Le, she is well aware of the feud and grudge between Xu Le and Luo Juya.
The reason why the ice bear fruit was not sold to Luo Juya before was also because of Xu Le's existence.
Now that Ice Bear has reappeared and killed Luo Juya, the murderer can only be Xu Le.
"Isn't he supposed to be in Zion? Why did he come to the lighthouse?"
Chi Xiao frowned slightly, handed the report back to the night watchman, and quickly left the scene.
"Sir, please walk slowly." The captain of the night watchman waved to Chi Xiao.
"Captain, do you need to report?"
"We didn't lose anything, why should we report it?"
"But she is from the Red Moon Temple." The subordinates didn't understand.
"It is precisely because she is from the Red Moon Temple that we do not want to report her. One more thing is worse than one less thing. We have reported her now. If she turns around and retaliates, do you think the higher-ups can protect you?"
"Is this so..."
…
Xu Le didn't know about Chi Xiao's arrival at the lighthouse.
After two days of intense discussions, the energy cooperation aspect has basically been finalized.
The lighthouse will import Zion Zion New Energy at a price of 4 yuan.
Regarding transportation costs, we will follow the previous exchange and handover. All other sales, arrangements, and supplies do not require interference from Zion.
Zion only needs to announce that the import price of new energy is 4 yuan.
Don't worry about other things.
This was something Xu Le mentioned many times, but was ruthlessly rejected many times. The promotional price of 4 yuan could not be put down.
You can lose money on the lighthouse side, but you can't lose it.
In the end, the negotiation between the two parties ended with 4 yuan. Xu Le and Zion made a tearful profit of 3.5 yuan. The trade contract between the two parties will be signed tomorrow.
This is probably how the matter was settled.
As for the in-depth cooperation on weapons content, Zion fully disclosed the weapon technology in exchange for a large number of warlock books retained by Lighthouse, allowing warriors to practice exercises and alchemy.
As well as the legendary Yin of Life, exchanges, cooperation and common development.
These things are basically the basics of the lighthouse, especially the method of refining the lighthouse's life-inducing potion.
Let’s not talk about whether it is useful or not. Let’s get the technology first, maybe we can draw parallels to it?
He Xu Le is a big deal, but it doesn't affect Xia Libo and others. Those people from Zion Progressives are professionals per capita, very strong and violent.
If you give Xia Libo and the others such high technology, they might be able to develop something even more awesome.
Such as non-toxic and side-effect body enhancer.
Or, according to Wang Shu, corresponding therapeutic medicines can be developed.
No matter which one is used, once successful, it can greatly improve the overall quality of Zion soldiers.
Let the entire Zion's force level increase by one level.
Although the level of force of warriors is difficult to play a decisive role in the current Kuroshio, their improvement still has a huge effect.
Level 2 warriors can be more durable, stronger, and bear heavier loads than level 1 warriors.
They didn't eat or sleep for several days. They carried a bunch of explosive packs alone, and then continued to fight with a few guns.
It would be even more outrageous if they were level 3 warriors. Xu Le thought they could carry a cannon alone, like Wang Shu.
Therefore, genetic warrior skills are very important, and Xu Le is very willing to exchange them.
Besides, Zion’s weapons technology is completely open to the Lighthouse...
This matter seems to be an equal transaction, but in fact, equality is nothing. Is Zion afraid that other cities will use Guyinduo Technology?
Not afraid at all.
No matter how hard you work, it won't matter even if you learn all the techniques. Anyway, in the end you will still need Guyinduo Soap.
It would be even more impossible to convert it into a moonstone weapon. Zion's economic level cannot withstand the consumption of moonstone weapons.
Just like the lighthouse, if the weapon technology is converted into moonstone weapons, it will be a moment of research and development, and the rhythm of the family crematorium.
The crowd gathered and Xu Le held a short meeting.
"I'm going back tomorrow, Wang Man, have you gained anything else?"
Ai Li and Wang Shu are both warriors, so Gu Beichen is basically useless.
The exploration of the upper levels of the Golden Light Tree can only be carried out using Wang Man's soul out-of-body method.
In these two days, Wang Man might gain something new.
Wang Man opened his notebook and took out a few pieces of paper that he had already prepared.
But this thing is more like a hand-drawn map than paper.
There are some flat pictures, and some are similar to 3D images, which are very vivid.
Although there are some substandard parts, overall, it is very strong.
"Map? Amazing!" Xu Le praised and prepared to take the map away.
However, Wang Man did not give it to Xu Le immediately. She stared at Xu Le and said:
"Brother Xu Le, you didn't take me with you last time, so don't do it this time.
Now that we're here, you and I both understand that we both came with our own purposes, so don't let me go back empty-handed, okay?"
Hearing what Wang Man said, Xu Le smiled awkwardly.
The last time Wang Man was talking about was the time of Ring of the Sky, and he knew that.
"I didn't take you with me last time just to protect your safety. It was very dangerous at that time and we went through a very dangerous battle.
I have no way to protect you in that situation, so I can only go without you.
If I want to go to the tower this time, I guess there will be some issues with my identity."
Xu Le's remarks were noncommittal, but this time she emphasized:
"I will find a way to contact the Illuminati after I go down, so you don't have to worry about my identity arrangement, I will handle it myself.
As for the protection you mentioned, it's actually not necessary, Brother Xu Le.
Now I have a certain ability to protect myself."
Looking at each other, Xu Le finally nodded.
If Wang Man's map is used as a reference, many things will go much smoother. After all, the exploration on the tower is not in the soul form, and it will definitely be done in the real body.
"I promise you this."
"That's right, brother Xu Le, don't worry, I think the next actions will go smoothly."
"I hope so too."
…
The next day, there was a meeting to sign a one-stop contract.
Seeing the red faces of several congressmen, Xu Le still couldn't accept how they could laugh at soap that cost 4 yuan per gram.
So the losers are all civilians!
"After we get off the tower, is there somewhere you want to go, Mr. Xu Le? If you don't have anything else to do, why don't you try the lighthouse one-stop service with me?"
Looking at Senator Zhou Bi's raised eyebrows, Xu Le was somewhat fascinated.
However, Xu Le shook his head after feeling the breath of Alley behind him.
"Women will only affect the speed of my research. The first step in doing big things is to stay away from women."
"I didn't expect Councilor Xu Le to have such ambition. Okay, let's go."
you?
Xu Le looked at the large area leaving in a mighty manner, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Is this a group trip to wash your hair?
Forget it, I have a tigress at home and I don’t smell roses.
Soon, Xu Le and his party drove to the reception hotel. The next long period was spent relaxing, collecting information, and doing business.
And...his own private time.
Putting Ding Ke in the bedroom, Xu Le was going to take a bath, then have a good sleep, and think about tomorrow's affairs.
"I'm going to take a shower!"
Meow!~
Dingke was lying on the bed bored, and when he was about to give himself a whole can to calm down his shock, he suddenly looked at the window in horror.
But its movements were too slow, and before it could make a sound, the golden prosthetic limb grabbed Destiny's neck.
Picked it up.
"Where are you looking?"
I was busy with my child's affairs during the day, so I came back to write in the evening. It was okay. I didn't stop updating today, so I failed to ask for leave.
