#466 - Chapter 465 Leeks to be harvested
"That's indeed a good idea, but... do you have enough Soul Soldiers? City 132 is very big!" Luo Shan said with concern.
Li Chenqiu replied confidently, "Don't worry, Captain Luo, I have enough."
After the Xingzhai Academy restored order, there was no need for so many Soul Soldiers to supervise the students. A hundred was enough. The remaining thousands of Soul Soldiers could easily keep an eye on City 132.
Luo Shan's face lit up with a smile, "Then I can rest assured."
"When the time comes, I'll first send Soul Soldiers into the black fog to scout the way. If it's safe, we'll go in and rescue the people who were previously swallowed by the black fog." Li Chenqiu waved his hand and put the Soul Soldiers standing beside him into the Ember.
"Huh?" Luo Shan was slightly stunned, "Chenqiu, you're going in too?"
Before Li Chenqiu could open his mouth to speak, Xiang Nanzhi cheerfully came over, "Not only is he going in, but I'm going in too!"
Li Chenqiu glanced at her speechlessly, "What are you going in for?"
Xiang Nanzhi said with righteous confidence, "Why can't I go in?"
"It's questionable whether you, a Fourth Restriction, can even reach the location of the black fog in time. Even if you do, ask yourself, should a Fourth Restriction go in?"
As Li Chenqiu spoke, he reached out and poked Xiang Nanzhi's chest.
"I..." Xiang Nanzhi was momentarily speechless, and finally slapped away Li Chenqiu's hand, saying in an impatient tone, "Alright, alright, I won't go, okay!"
Li Chenqiu patted Xiang Nanzhi on the shoulder and turned his gaze back, "Captain Luo, are there any other problems?"
Luo Shan hesitated for a moment, a trace of solemnity flashing between his brows, "Once we enter the black fog, what we will encounter is all unknown, what if..."
"Don't worry, I'm very strong, I won't drag you down." Li Chenqiu smiled faintly, exuding a powerful confidence.
Seeing this, Luo Shan didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement.
Under the guidance of the members of the 19th Action Team, Li Chenqiu rationally arranged his Soul Soldiers into City 132. After completing everything, it was already six o'clock in the evening.
Luo Shan closed his computer and looked up, "Let's go downstairs for a meal together, my treat!"
When the others present heard this, they all looked at Li Chenqiu expectantly.
"Sorry, I have other things to deal with later, maybe next time!" Li Chenqiu stood up and smiled apologetically.
"Is that so... then we'll make it next time."
...
Summer was coming to an end. Although the night wind at six o'clock in the evening was still humid and hot, it was mixed with a hint of coolness.
Walking out of the hotel door, Xiang Nanzhi stretched greatly, turning her head to look at Li Chenqiu, who was looking down at his phone.
Seeing that his expression was unusually focused, she curiously asked, "What are you looking at?"
"User reviews of barbecue restaurants." Li Chenqiu squatted down and sat on the steps in front of the hotel.
"Huh?" Xiang Nanzhi opened her mouth wide, bent down, and stretched her neck to look at Li Chenqiu's phone screen. What came into view was a user review.
[Violent Tiger King: The taste is average, but it wins in terms of affordable prices. If you're short on money but want to eat your fill, you can consider this place.]
Xiang Nanzhi tilted her head in confusion, "What are you looking at this for?"
Li Chenqiu said without raising his head, "Naturally, to eat barbecue!"
Xiang Nanzhi pointed at the phone screen, "You said you had something to do just now, this thing is eating barbecue?"
"Yes, food is the most important thing for the people. Anything related to eating is an important matter. Tonight, I'm treating you to the best barbecue in this city, are you going or not?"
Li Chenqiu closed the phone screen and stood up, supporting his knees.
"Are you still the Li Chenqiu I know? You're not going to eat a free five-star meal, and now you're going to pay for barbecue, is there something fishy about this!"
Xiang Nanzhi touched her chin, a look of suspicion on her face.
"I've found that you're quite neurotic too. How can there be anything fishy about eating barbecue? Go or don't go, I'm leaving."
"Hey, hey, I didn't say I wasn't going, wait for me!"
...
"The skin is crispy, but the meat is not dry at all. With one bite, cumin mixed with meat juice explodes between the lips and teeth, delicious, really delicious!"
Fu Yuesheng sat cross-legged in front of the wooden house, grabbing a handful of skewers covered with cumin, praising repeatedly.
Li Chenqiu, sitting in front of the door, said speechlessly, "The way you use words, people who don't know would think you're a judge on a food appreciation show."
"I'll take that as you're praising me. By the way, how many skewers did you buy me?" Fu Yuesheng asked while eating.
Li Chenqiu casually said, "More than a thousand skewers."
"So you bought a thousand... wait!" Fu Yuesheng's expression suddenly changed, saying in disbelief, "More than a thousand skewers, are you feeding me like livestock, buying so much!"
"Don't get excited, nine-tenths of these thousand-plus skewers are unprocessed. Charcoal, barbecue grill, seasonings, refrigerated cabinets, and everything else related to barbecue.
I've bought them all for you, they're in my spatial treasure. I'll help you move these things into the wooden house later. If you want to eat barbecue in the future, you can do it yourself in the wooden house."
After listening to Li Chenqiu's explanation, Fu Yuesheng's shocked expression gradually eased, and she slowly said, "Have you ever thought about the fact that I only know how to eat barbecue, not how to make it?"
"It's okay, the barbecue grill comes with instructions, and I also asked the store owner to buy a handwritten note of barbecue precautions." Li Chenqiu replied indifferently.
Clap clap clap!
Fu Yuesheng clapped her hands, "Comprehensive, too comprehensive!"
"I'll take that as you're praising me. I've already arrived in City 132, can the location range of the Soul-Devouring Pearl be narrowed down?" Li Chenqiu changed the subject.
Fu Yuesheng wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue, "City 133, or within a hundred miles of City 133. If you want to be more specific, you have to go to City 133."
"Understood, I'll go to City 133 after I finish what I have to do, thanks."
After Fu Yuesheng finished eating the barbecue, Li Chenqiu purchased the skewers and barbecue tools and helped Fu Yuesheng move them into the wooden house.
"Next time I want to eat fried food, buy me more."
"Got it, I'm leaving."
"Don't forget the ketchup!"
After leaving the Winter Night Picture, Li Chenqiu took his phone, came to the room's open-air balcony, opened the phone book, found a number marked as "To-be-harvested Leek", and dialed it.
The phone was quickly connected after ringing for only two seconds.
Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows in surprise, leaned on the railing, and said in Federal Common Language, "So fast, it seems that you can't sleep on this long night either, Takahashi Meisheng."
"I've been waiting for this call for almost two months." Takahashi Meisheng's voice was very low.
"Sorry, I've been a little busy recently and accidentally neglected you, I'm really sorry."
"Duan Xian's death is related to you, right!" Takahashi Meisheng tentatively asked.
"He's dead?"
"I knew you wouldn't admit it."
"You're really interesting, why should I admit something I didn't do?"
"Stop talking nonsense, just say what you want!"
Li Chenqiu smiled brightly, "I'm easy to deal with, a hundred Ninth Restriction Revived Beasts will do."
