Chapter 3493 Host, please rest assured, I went there for the upgrade
Chapter 3493 Host, please rest assured, I went there to upgrade...
After the heaven and earth were upgraded, many old families and ancient holy places declined rapidly, or even withdrew from the stage of history.
Although the autonomous association headed by [Nantianmen] has begun to recover, it cannot change the fact that Kunlun is no longer the center of the human race.
All states are beginning to demand independence, and local factions with the ability and ambition are ready to make a move... [Qingzhou] will naturally not leave either.
What's more, Emperor Ximen successfully seized the Dragon Ball of Fortune during the competition. Although it was not much, it coincided with the upgrading of heaven and earth, which brought even more prosperity to Qingzhou!
The Ximen family even had a great relationship with the Shen family because Ximen Dajin had rescued a large number of people together with the Far East Young Master of the Shen family. Not only did he successfully establish connections with the Shen family, he even gained a reputation as a hero. Therefore, Ximen Dajin was in high spirits during this period.
In comparison, the Zhao family, once the giant of the Alliance and known as the representative of the world's old money, has a completely different style.
Not only was the old nest destroyed, but the clan was also caught up in a turmoil over the succession. There were even rumors that Miss Zhao slammed the door and walked out in anger, wanting to cut ties with the entire Zhao family. Currently, both sides are rapidly consolidating the Zhao family's various properties scattered across the human territory.
The battle between Big Zhao and Small Zhao was equally fierce within Qingzhou...but the Ximen family had no intention of intervening. No matter whether it was Big Zhao or Small Zhao, whoever won would be fine. As long as they paid the money, they could do business within its territories.
But Zhao Huaian, the illegitimate son found by Mr. Qian of the Zhao family, came to him at this time, and the meaning behind this is very interesting.
Ximen Dizi is not as honest as he appears, but having a lot of money does not mean he is stupid.
"Mr. Zhao, are you here for the auction of [Forbidden Tools]?" Ximen Dajin immediately spoke first, "In that case, we are competitors."
Zhao Huaian cursed in his heart, but smiled calmly: "The [Forbidden Tool] is indeed important, but I have another mission this time. If I get it, I will be lucky. If I lose it, I will die. If the emperor's son is determined to get the Emperor's Hate Sword, what's the difficulty in supporting the emperor's son to seize it with all his strength?"
Ximen Dajin couldn't help but narrow his eyes, thinking that little [Zhao]'s sugar-coated bullets were fired at the Ximen family so quickly...Isn't it possible that big Miss [Zhao] has also quietly arrived in [Huoyun City] by now?
"I am only here for the auction." Ximen Dajin laughed, "But as far as I am concerned, I am still willing to make friends with you, Young Master Zhao... Shall we go out for a drink? I have booked a very good hotel with five-star reviews!"
"I won't bother the prince anymore." Zhao Huaian shook his head and said, "I am already satisfied to see the prince once. Huaian wishes the prince a smooth auction."
This guy……
……
After a quick meeting with Ximen Dajin, Zhao Huaian quickly got into the car arranged by his servants and left the airport.
As an illegitimate son pushed forward by the elders to compete with Zhao Wumian, he knew very well that he was just a puppet.
In general, it is still much easier than working in the imperial palace in the [City of White Steel]... The key is that as the young master of the [Zhao] family, his configuration is not bad at all.
But as one of the four [Hidden Dragon] secret spies under the [Saint Empress], Zhao Huaian still felt vaguely uneasy... However, after the heaven and earth were upgraded, the [Netherworld] heaven was in hiding, and he could not receive any orders at all, so he could only enter a state of silence on his own.
If [Youming] Heaven didn't activate him again, Zhao Huaian could actually continue to be [Young Master Zhao] until his death.
——Maybe it wouldn’t be bad if we could continue living like this?
——My name is Wuming, and I am a secret agent. Currently, my handler has not appeared yet...
……
……
In the farmyard, while He Tongzi was playing in the mud with Pei Yulou, Zhao Wumian came to the kitchen and found Wen Zhong.
"This place is dirty, a young lady like you'd better not come here. If I get your clothes dirty, I can't afford to pay for it."
"Your name is Wen Zhong, a retired soldier and a member of the [Huoyun City] Disabled Soldiers Association." Zhao Wumian said calmly, "After retiring, you lived with some disabled soldiers. Most of the people in this village are like you."
Wen Zhong frowned, "What do you want to say."
"Come and help me." Zhao Wumian said directly: "I can provide all your comrades with new jobs, take care of their families and provide them with a good education."
"Are you rich?" Wen Zhong couldn't help but sneer.
Zhao Wumian said: "Don't rush to refute. I don't mean to look down on you. You are willing to stay here and take care of so many people. Don't you want to see them have a better life?"
Wen Zhong frowned subconsciously, "Do you usually negotiate terms with others in such a condescending manner?"
"I will only come forward if it's worth it for me to negotiate terms in person." Zhao Wumian said calmly: "Besides, since you have already become Brother He's disciple, you can no longer escape."
Wen Zhong remained silent.
"I parked the car outside the village and walked all the way in." Zhao Wumian suddenly said: "Children of this age may be happy to play in the mud... but perhaps they deserve better. You think about it carefully. I am also looking forward to dinner tonight."
Watching Zhao Wumian leave, Wen Zhong couldn't help but shake his head and muttered, "What Feng Aotian?"
However, it is not impossible to talk about money directly without making empty promises...
There is no doubt that he was hit in the soft spot.
……
……
……
……
Yun Xinghe even took the initiative to leave and collect materials that could be found in the small black market.
Liu Jinghe was hesitant about letting Yun Xinghe leave, and it was finally Lin SIR who suggested that they go together, which solved the problem.
In the room, besides Ye Qiu, there were only Liu Jinghe, Captain Mixue and Xiao Luo SIR.
"...Who are you? What do you want in exchange for letting me go? Let me go!" Ye Qiu had actually woken up. Perhaps because he was sober, he understood his current situation. "Even if you arrest me, it's useless! Let me go! I won't tell anyone else about you."
Liu Jinghe said in a deep voice: "Because of this incident, we have been hunted by the group. Your previous research institute has been directly destroyed by the group. Do you think that even if we let you go, you still have a place to go?"
"What on earth are you doing!" Ye Qiu was shocked and furious, "Aren't you from the Inspection Department?!"
"Whether I am or not, as far as this incident is concerned, you and I are already tied together." Liu Jinghe shook his head, "If you know anything else, or maybe remember something, it would be best if you could tell us... while helping us, you are also saving yourself."
Ye Qiu remained silent.
Liu Jinghe's voice became gentler. "We are already trying to find a way to help you solve the memory-altering spell that was planted on you. The truth will soon be revealed... Don't you want to know the truth about Yaohua's disappearance?"
Ye Qiu calmed down completely, but showed hesitation on his face, "But you also said that my memory of [Yaohua] might be manipulated. I might be nothing."
"So we have to find out your identity even more." Liu Jinghe thought for a moment and said, "Also, I heard from the other two people who stayed behind that you seem to have a very good relationship with [Yaohua]."
Ye Qiu thought for a moment and said, "It's possible that they were hit by a similar spell."
"Very good." Liu Jinghe smiled and said, "You can think of this, it seems that you are really fully awake. But it is meaningless for us to discuss this now. Let's discuss everything after the spell on you is lifted."
After saying that, Liu Jinghe brought some food and water to Ye Qiu.
There was no problem in Liu Jinghe's handling of the situation. At least Ye Qiu stopped making a fuss, so Captain Miyuki did not stop him.
At this time, Xiao Luo SIR suddenly asked: "Mr. Ye, do you really have no memory of the accident that year?"
"It's all blank." Ye Qiu shook his head. "In the past few years, I have been thinking about it all the time, but all I get is headaches. I can only numb myself with alcohol... The words on my arm are my only clue."
Xiao Luo said, "I heard from Mr. Liu that he found you in a bar called Tank... I heard that you have been going to this bar for many years. Is there any special reason?"
"That's where I had my first date with Yaohua." Ye Qiu said subconsciously, a hint of tenderness in his eyes, muttering to himself, "I remember it was drizzling that day, in the alleys of the lower district of Infinite City, she was like a cherry blossom floating towards me, and I remember the smell of her shampoo..."
Since finding Ye Qiu, Liu Jinghe actually didn't remember to question Ye Qiu in detail, and was willing to listen carefully at this time.
Captain Miyuki thought about it and simply activated the communication symbol so that SIR Lin who was out could also listen to a copy, thus saving the need to relay the message a second time.
"So, what else do you know about [Yaohua]?" Captain Miyuki also began to get into the state and asked actively.
"She is also a member of the research institute." Ye Qiu thought for a moment and said, "She is very nice to everyone and always looks cheerful... In such a boring environment, her smile makes the boring work seem interesting every day."
Captain Miyuki wrote a few words in her notebook.
——Love to laugh, cheerful, enthusiastic about life (?), infectious...
"Before that accident, can you remember doing any other research projects?" Captain Miyuki asked again.
Ye Qiu thought for a moment and said, "The research institute is actually a biological laboratory. Its main job is to study the biological specimens sent by the group, including but not limited to monsters, spirit beasts, [exotic] species, etc. My main job is to be responsible for dissection and limb suture, and to make specimens again."
"Ye Qiu, do you know that researching these things privately is against the alliance law?" Captain Miyuki said in a deep voice.
"What's the point of you saying this now?" Ye Qiu sneered, "If you had a solution, the group would have been gone long ago."
"So what about Miss Yaohua?" Xiao Luo SIR asked, "What is her main job?"
"【Yaohua】...she is..." Ye Qiu rubbed his brows, as if trying to recall, "We all completed our work independently. There were special people responsible for transporting materials from one room to another... We were also forbidden to discuss the content of our work with each other...【Yaohua】she...I don't know what she is specifically responsible for, but I know that she works in the core research room. Her confidentiality level is higher than mine...and we also agreed not to ask about each other's affairs as much as possible."
"She doesn't know what you do either?" asked Xiao Luo SIR.
"I didn't... I probably didn't tell her." Ye Qiu said hesitantly.
"When was your last date?" Captain Miyuki asked.
Ye Qiu subconsciously said, "It should be two days before the accident. It just so happened that we both had a day off. I remember that Yaohua seemed to be in a very good mood that day. I jokingly asked her if she had made a breakthrough in her research. She didn't say, but she didn't deny it either. I think it was probably true. We met at the Tank Bar that day. She and I talked about many things, life, ideals, and the future... We also agreed to meet again during the next holiday."
He paused and said dejectedly: "I don't know if this counts as the next time. I have always been to the [Tank] bar, but [Yaohua] has never appeared again."
Xiao Luo SIR said: "Mr. Ye Qiu, we have actually met before."
Ye Qiu asked in confusion: "Do you know me?"
Xiao Luo Sir paused for a moment, glanced out the window, and then continued, "I just happened to be in the Tank bar once and saw you in the corner. You paid with the bottle caps, so I was quite impressed."
There are many people coming and going in the Tank Bar. In recent years, Ye Qiu would get drunk there three or four days a week. There must be many people who have seen him. He didn't care and smiled bitterly: "In fact, I'm not really short of money. Although I'm just staying here, I still have the salary I need. I can afford the drinks in the Tank Bar... But I don't know why, I always like to carry a few bottle caps with me. Maybe the bar owner really thinks I'm a homeless vagrant and has never said anything to me. Maybe he's a good person."
Liu Jinghe suddenly said, "I've met that boss before. He seems to be a nice guy and a talkative person."
Captain Miyuki said disapprovingly, "How can an information dealer not be good at talking?"
At the same time, write [bottle cap? ] in the small notebook.
Then he added: "What about your family? Don't you have any family?"
Ye Qiu shook his head: "I am an orphan, and I grew up in a community welfare home. I have very few friends, and I haven't contacted them for a long time."
Captain Miyuki couldn't help but frown. The investigation into Ye Qiu couldn't be carried out at all. This was the most frustrating thing for law enforcement.
……
Downstairs, Gu Ze, who was carrying two large bags and preparing to go upstairs, suddenly stopped.
Because Tongzi suddenly disappeared at this moment, Gu Ze suddenly stopped!
This was not the first time that Tongzi had disappeared - when he first met Senior Wen, Tongzi had pretended to be dead. This made Gu Ze realize that this Tongzi did not seem to be truly omnipotent.
But even so, at least the system interface still existed!
But this time.
Looking at the system interface that had completely disappeared from his sight, Gu Ze couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body... If it weren't for the extraordinary power he got from Tongzi, he would even think that all this was just a dream before the young man died.
He might have died in that Regent Hotel a long time ago.
The young man lowered his head, the fear in his heart drove him to instinctively want to escape from this place, but just as the thought emerged, the disappeared system interface reopened again.
"Brother Tong, what about you?"
"Host, don't be nervous. Since the merit points you have consumed have reached the standard, I have restarted and upgraded it a little bit... It's really not because there is any terrifying existence ahead, you have to believe me."
Gu Ze was stunned, "Can you upgrade it? Are there any additional functions?"
The system explained slowly.
After hearing this, Gu Ze couldn't help but exclaim in agreement.
After the upgrade, the system can actually create [subsystems] and assign them to people who meet the system standards - they also gain merit points by completing tasks and doing good deeds. However, every time a [subsystem] is acquired, the main system can take a 50% share.
However, each time a cub is born... each time a [subsystem] is created, a certain amount of merit points will be required.
Looking at the functions after the system upgrade, Gu Ze suddenly found that the new tasks that had just appeared didn't seem so attractive...
