Chapter 161 Ancient Ruins
Xu Le was completely stunned. When you want to get a correct answer, you only need to put forward a wrong point of view, and someone will give you the correct answer to refute you.

This is indeed the right choice.

But what if you accidentally provide a correct answer?
They'll chime in and say...ah yes yes yes!
Just like it is now.

There is really no such thing as a black market in Zion!

"Really not?"

"No, I lied to you that you don't have a household registration book."

"Although he didn't lie to you, few people in Tianrui Lifeng have a household registration book." Xu Ting reminded from the side.

Not finding the black market, Xu Le was a little unhappy. He glanced at the red light district not far away.

He glanced at Xu Ting beside him, and Li Qingcheng, the follower behind him, and a dull feeling emerged spontaneously.

"It's boring."

He sat in front of the convenience store a little dejectedly, bought himself a few bottles of still water, and drank it sullenly.

"Brother Xu Le, why are you looking for the black market?"

"I just want to know, is there any place in Zion where you can trade extraordinary items?"

"Yes, isn't there one in the Zion Science and Technology Exchange Square?"

Of course Xu Le knew about the Zion Science and Technology Exchange Square, but that was an official location, and transactions there needed to be registered.

But what is he going to sell?It is the ancient sound with many fruits, and he can continuously produce fruits.

If some of them were sold, it would be fine for the first time, and it could be explained that he went to the wild to obtain an ancient Yinduo fruit.

But what if there is more than one?

What if he took out one or several fruits for every transaction?

how to explain?How could an ordinary researcher, a level 2 Red Moon Warlock, have so many ancient Yinduo fruits?
In this case, if you go to the official trading place, isn't that a self-destruct truck?

That kind of formal trading place, where even putting stockings on his head is not allowed, is that the place he can go?

Xu Le curled his lips and said cautiously:
"It's an official place, I personally don't really want to go, you know I'm a warlock, and warlocks always have some strange things and hobbies.

These hobbies are shady, is there a more private, unofficial place? "

Shady hobby?This description is really a bit strange, Xu Ting shook her head:

"I don't know that."

Seeing Xu Ting shaking his head, Xu Le was a little disappointed, but he didn't see Li Qingcheng who had been following them all the time, and now he seemed hesitant to speak.

"If you don't have it, you don't have it. I got a fruit of heart energy after a blind stroll, and I learned that the act of absorbing heart energy from the succubus is not fruitless. Go back and study the cultivation method of the playful life master."

Xu Le comforted herself, and said to Xu Ting:

"Then let's go back."

"it is good."

Driving on the road, Xu Ting seemed to be still reminiscing about the battle with the succubus before, and seemed a little absent-minded.

Li Qingcheng sat in the back seat and didn't speak, while Xu Le sat in the co-pilot thinking about the ponytail girl... and the battle with the succubus.

He didn't care at all where the girl with the ponytail stuck her tail.

As for why the lust energy keeps growing?Xu Le felt that it had nothing to do with his wild thoughts. The succubus must be too powerful, um, it must be like this.

After Xu Ting sent Xu Le to the studio, Xu Le didn't go down immediately, but stayed in the car and asked:

"Oh, by the way, Da Ting, let me ask you something."

"Brother Xu Le, what are you talking about?"

"Do you have any missions that pay relatively well and are not very dangerous?"

"..."

Xu Ting was a little speechless. If there is such a task, can it be their turn?It has long been divided up by the people above.

After all, who doesn't have any relatives?

After thinking for a while, she was about to shake her head, but Li Qingcheng interrupted Xu Ting's words at this time.

"Uh, actually..."

Hearing her speak, Xu Ting said in surprise:

"Is there really such a mission?"

"Such missions do exist, and the private trading venues you just mentioned actually do exist."

Xu Le was taken aback for a moment, and narrowed his eyes habitually.

"Details."

Xu Le's eyes were a little sharp, and Li Qingcheng felt that he seemed to be a different person, and was a little flustered by him staring at him like that.

"What are you talking about?"

"Tasks and a place for private transactions!" Xu Le frowned.

Li Qingcheng was glanced at, and then put away her panic, and said quickly:

"At present, ancient ruins have been discovered in the northern part of Zone 1 and Zone 2 of Zion, and some warlocks are being recruited there to decipher the remnants of the ancient ruins.

The resident salary is 160 yuan a day, and if the deciphered text is completed, or if there is an unlocked discovery, there will be a big reward. "

"Reward, how much is it?"

"One decipher, there are tens of thousands."

Hearing the number Li Qingcheng said, Xu Le was still a little shocked.

The reward for such a task, purely in terms of numbers, already exceeds the value of ordinary relics and fruits.

"So many? How about the safety of the mission?"

"You don't have to worry about security at all, because this is a secret job, and the security aspects are all secretly organized by Zion officials.

The personnel sent for security in the past are all extremely high-level warriors, and there will be no mercenaries from Tianrui Lifeng to participate, so the safety of personnel can be guaranteed. "

Xu Le listened very seriously. Exploration and deciphering of ancient ruins?
Zion official organization?In terms of security, are all Zion's official high-level warriors?
"How high is the senior you are talking about?"

"Ordinary security starts with level 3 warriors, and each warlock will be assigned a special law enforcement official as a bodyguard. The bodyguard must be at least level 4."

At least level 4?
This at least surprised Xu Le a little.

However, he has already met twice with warriors who are above the normal 4th level.

One was Bai Jing's final sublimation moment, and the other was the level of Uncle Xu Weiwen. They should all exceed the level of ordinary 4th-level warriors.

As for the task content, Xu Le felt that he also had a very high feasibility.

Maybe he himself is a half bucket of water, but he has the ability of ancient sound multi-horizon, which is almost a cheating tool. In terms of exploration and research, he is simply a big killer.

Especially for the understanding of the ancient Yin polysystem, he can even be said to be better than those professors who have studied it for decades.

Even if the knowledge reserve is not good, you can still recruit Levi's who is really expected, but I don't know whether to let someone go.

Well, you can try it for a few days, if it doesn’t work, then slip away.

Anyway, let Xu Ting do a good job of screening the field missions, which are simple and expensive missions, and then contact her and it's over.

The only thing to consider now is, is there no requirement for such a task?

After thinking about it, Xu Le's expression became strange.

After all, his attitude towards Li Qingcheng has always been quite bad.

"Um, can someone like me join the mission you mentioned?"

Li Qingcheng looked at Xu Le, frowned and said:

"This kind of task is usually carried out by warlocks who are familiar with various officials. After all, things like ancient ruins are very important to major cities.

Although the security requirements are not high, the confidentiality requirements are very high, so the candidates are all internal recruits, and I can recommend you. "

Warlocks familiar to officials, internal recruits!

From these two words, Xu Le has roughly judged Li Qingcheng's family situation.

Is it possible to get in touch with the families of important officials in Zion's internal affairs...

No wonder the original owner was bullied!
What retains the most memory of Zion is the scene of the original owner being bullied by Li Qingcheng's relatives, and Li Qingcheng's mother's not-so-high-spirited "good words to persuade".

But in that case, what kind of blow would it be to a boy who was only 17 years old at the time?

Such a family, such a task, I should stay away from it!

Xu Le haha ​​scratched his head, and said with a smile on his face:
"So that's the case, let's forget it. I'm not strict with my mouth, just like a small trumpet. I'm afraid I can't do this kind of task that requires confidentiality."

Xu Ting was a little shocked by Xu Le's refusal.

Brother Xu Le didn't even want money in order to stay away from Orange?

This is too harsh.

Li Qingcheng didn't expect that Xu Le, who was still very interested just now, would directly refuse after hearing his explanation. He must be short of money, right?Why pass up such an opportunity?

"Actually, Xu Le, you don't have to worry too much. Even if you join the mission, you won't meet me. My strength is not enough to participate."

Xu Le shook his head slightly, was he worried about Li Qingcheng?He is worried about being in debt.

The road to officialdom is also slippery, and people's hearts are more complicated.

After experiencing what happened to the night watchman at the lighthouse, Xu Le became even more aware of how deep the water inside was.

He didn't want to take favors just because of a little money and a little opportunity. Favors are very complicated.

Xu Le is not the kind of person who turns his face away and refuses to recognize others. He can't take the favor and not return it.

So the best option is to stay away.

"People like me are still not suitable for that kind of serious and formal place, let's forget it."

"Well, what about private trading places? I know a few places where you can sell items anonymously."

"Thank you, no need, I don't have anything to sell."

Hearing what Xu Le said, Li Qingcheng lowered her head in disappointment.

Xu Le got out of the car directly, and did not forget to say hello to Xu Ting before leaving:

"Don't forget to help me apply for the Good Citizen Award tomorrow."

"Ah? You still care about that?" Xu Ting was taken aback.

"Of course, I clearly remember that there is a bonus of 500 yuan for the good citizen award. I think he will be very happy when you take the award certificate back to your uncle.

As for the money, send it to me when you have time. "

500 yuan is not much, especially for someone like Xu Le who killed a level 3 polluter alone.

If it is reported for verification, the bonus is actually 2000-4000.

But no one gave him proof, and no official personnel participated except Xu Ting.

He didn't intend to declare the battle situation and expose his strength, so he could only receive a good citizen award of 500 yuan.

"okay, I get it."

Watching Xu Le go upstairs, Xu Ting said to Li Qingcheng who lowered her head:
"It's over for Cheng Zi. He has eaten the weight and is determined to break up with you. Hurry up and go home, wash up and sleep."

……

On the other side, in the red light district where Xu Le and the others were before.

A woman in professional attire, gold-rimmed glasses, and blond hair was scanning the two places where Xu Le and the succubus fought just now.

At the entrance of the alley, there is also a private room for a certain night show.

At this time, a warlock came to the woman with some blood samples collected by the guards.

"Miss Ailey, if there is no mistake in the test, the blood should be the blood of the succubus, but the body has been taken away by the law enforcement officers of District 5.

So now we have no way to confirm whether the corpse is a succubus, do we need to apply for a transfer order? "

"No, oh yes, call me Ms. Alley from now on."

"Yes, ma'am."

Opening the blood bag and smelling the blood, Allie's face immediately turned red.

Even with her current strength and will, she will still be affected by the blood of joy. The product of the son of Gu Yinduo is indeed too powerful.

That guy named Xu Le was capable of killing the succubus single-handedly.

She pushed her glasses to calm down the heat in her heart.

The blush on his face gradually disappeared.

In fact, Alley is very young, she is only 23 years old, but in many cases, being young is not an advantage, but a disadvantage, especially in the professional field.

That's why she wears her hair up, wears glasses, and is called Ms. Alley.

This will make you appear more mature and stable, in simple terms, it will be more old-fashioned.

She took out a few photos, these were photos of Li Qingcheng following Xu Le and Xu Ting, and the shooting angles were tricky.

Seeing Li Qingcheng's slightly humble appearance, the corners of Alley's mouth rose slightly.

Then she looked at Xu Le, who was close-up, thoughtfully.

"Let's go back."

"Yes."

Alley drove to an inconspicuous building in Zion and stopped. He went upstairs and walked around a few times before arriving at the door of a room on the fifth floor.

Next to the door is a slightly tattered sign with the words [Zion Progressives] written on it.

The name Zion is used by many people and studios, so it didn't attract too many people's attention when it was put here.

Open the door with a relatively primitive big iron key.

The "squeaky" sound of the door seems to tell others that this thing has been around for some time.

But after opening the door, the scene inside is completely different from the dilapidated outside.

A large number of Red Moon detection instruments came into view, as well as many people wearing blue Zion Progressive Researcher uniforms.

Most of them are very busy, but their eyes are full of enthusiasm and drive.

It seems that here... is their ideal workplace.

Alley passed researchers one by one, and individual research rooms one by one, and finally came to the innermost room.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

After knocking on the door, a very warm and magnetic voice came from inside.

"Airie? Come in."

"Director."

"Come on, how is the situation this time? I heard that you returned empty-handed?"

The man who was called Director by Alley leaned on the chair a little lazily, and the words [Technical Director: Zhang Nuo'an] appeared on the badge on his chest.

After Ailey was asked whether he returned empty-handed, he didn't defend himself, but just nodded bluntly:

"Yes, this time the succubus was killed in advance, and the body was taken away by colleagues in District 5. I had to return empty-handed."

Zhang Nuoan was obviously surprised when he heard that the succubus was killed.

"Are powerful mercenaries appearing again? There are no research materials available during this time, which is really annoying.

Have you done any research on whoever did it? "

Alley's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he took out a few photos.

"There is no way to judge the specific person who did it. There are too many mercenaries in Tianrui Lifeng, and they are very vigilant. I have no way to conduct too detailed investigation.

However, the law enforcement members arrived very quickly, and Li Qingcheng was also on the list. "

These photos are traces of the battle at the scene, as well as the situation after the arrival of law enforcement members.

Li Qingcheng, Xu Ting, and several other law enforcement officers were included, except that someone's photo was missing.

When Zhang Nuo'an saw Li Qingcheng's photo, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I didn't expect Qingcheng to be here. She's still on duty at such a late hour. I really don't know what she's planning."

Alley looked at the photo expressionlessly until Zhang Nuoan looked away from Li Qingcheng's photo.

"During this time, I asked you to have a good relationship with Li Qingcheng. How is it going? Does she have any new ideas recently? Are law enforcement officers tired of doing it?"

Alley took a deep breath, as if he was adjusting his mood, and then said:

"The relationship between Li Qingcheng and I is already very good. There is no need to establish a good relationship. If there is any news about her, I will let you know as soon as possible."

Seemingly seeing the dissatisfaction in Alley's eyes, Zhang Nuo'an smiled.

"Ailey, Li Qingcheng is the daughter of Li Qiming, and is a very important part of our development plan.

It’s time now, and we shouldn’t act emotionally. All these things are done for our better future, and also for the future of Zion.

This is all carried out according to the original plan, don't be so stubborn, okay? "

As Zhang Nuoan said, he wanted to grab Alley's hand.

But Ailey's expression was a bit sad, and when she was about to be held back by Zhang Nuo'an, she suddenly pulled her hands away.

"Nuoan, this is not a peaceful age. I have been waiting for you for almost 6 years, and I am almost 24 years old. Will we really be together?"

"Of course we will be together, why do you ask so suddenly?"

"If you are willing to announce our relationship now, I will give it to you tonight."

Zhang Nuo'an narrowed his eyes, he didn't quite know what stimulated Alley today, why did he make such a request so well?
Announce relationship?

What kind of relationship can there be between them?Do not make jokes.

"Ailey, you should know that my mind is all on research, and human beings themselves contain great secrets.

I really don't want to spend too much energy on things between men and women until our ideals are achieved. "

Is it this set of rhetoric again...

Aili felt helpless, but she quickly put away her weakness just now, and returned to her previous indifferent and aloof appearance.

"I see, director, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Ah."

After leaving the building and returning to the car, Alley drove to Zion's artificial dam, and then took out some Xu Le's materials from the jacket on the car.

These things were originally intended for Zhang Nuoan, as long as Zhang Nuoan gave her an affirmative answer, these things would be handed over to him without reservation.

Unfortunately, there is not even an answer.

"Don't want to spend too much time on the affairs of men and women? Then what is Li Qingcheng? Heh..."

Ailey looked at the photo that was not handed over to Zhang Nuo'an, which was the one of Li Qingcheng following Xu Le's butt.

Then, she squeezed the remaining photos in her pocket into a ball, lit it casually, and quietly watched it burn out.

He picked up Xu Le's materials and lit the fire, ready to finish burning.

But she stopped suddenly, wiped out the flames with a swipe of her finger, and picked up Xu Le's information to examine it carefully.

"Dengta studied abroad for 2 and a half years, and got a bachelor's degree in alchemy bioscience research. He came back for the construction of Zion...

Didn't mention the process of becoming a level 2 Red Moon Warlock and the teachers?Self-taught?
Judging from this Xu Le's resume, he does not have the conditions to kill the succubus at all.How did he do that? "

With doubts, Alley drove to Qiangwei studio where Xu Le was.
