New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 166 Ice!
It's obvious that Bologna's economic situation is very bad.

But surprisingly, it wasn't too bad, and you could occasionally see nice houses with nice decorations. It was near the Explorer's Guild, and it seemed like a decent and prosperous area if you walked around.

Lei Ye glanced at the Explorer's Guild at the door. There were quite a few explorers who looked smart and capable, but their equipment was obviously several levels downgraded compared to Hillius's. Some of them were even wearing tattered wasteland-style suits.

This makes sense. The explorers of Hillius make their main living by conquering underground mazes. The monsters in the underground maze become more and more powerful as you go deeper. No one has yet reached their upper limit. To fight these monsters, the explorers will naturally arm themselves to the teeth.

Other cities do not have the underground maze that extends downwards, and the monsters that need to be faced are only the monsters around the city. Lei Ye entered the Explorer's Guild and took a look at the commission board. There were only a few commissions to deal with Goblin Caves. The highest-level commission was just to subdue the horned wolves that had recently become rampant.

Such a guild cannot support powerful explorers. No wonder this debtor from the guild is on the list of the big casino.

Jazz, a member of the Explorers Guild, owes one thousand Grand Gold Coins.

Topped the debt list.

To be honest, it's a bit exaggerated. One thousand gold coins equals one hundred million. It's hard to imagine how much gambling a guild member would have to do to end up with such a huge debt.

The biggest gamble Lei Ye had ever taken in his life was to bet that the girl would not find the masturbation cup he had hidden in his backpack during a date.

So Lei Ye guessed that this Jaz should be someone the guild particularly wanted, so they forced him into a huge debt. Lei Ye had studied the work flow of large casinos, and with a little manipulation, he could turn a person's debt from 20 dollars into a debt of 37 million, and finally have to become a slave to pay off the debt. There was no other way to pay off the debt.

Lei Ye thought that it would be fine if he just paid back the principal, it didn't matter whether he made money or not on this trip. He wanted to hear the stories of these debtors and how they ended up like this.

Alas, now think about it, what's the point, Lei Ye originally wanted to collect intelligence to attack Greti's morality, but some of it really has nothing to do with Greti so it cannot be selected.

Now there is only one difference between him and Grady. Grady thinks there is nothing wrong with the casino, but the gamblers are the problem, while Lei Ye thinks that there are gamblers only because of the existence of casinos, so there must be something wrong with the casino.

The key is to sort this out with Grady.

Let’s do something to collect information first, Lei Ye leaned on the edge of the counter and greeted.

"Hello, Miss, you are so pretty. I have something I want to ask you."

Very good, this kind of slightly frivolous greeting like a chat-up is what an explorer of this world should feel. Lei Ye raised his eyebrows and felt that he had grown up.

But the lady at the counter didn't even dare to look at me directly, as if she was a little shy.

That's not right. How could a person working as a counter lady be shy?
"Okay, okay, what do you want to consult?"

The tone was also very timid.

Lei Ye looked back and realized from the avoidant or disgusted looks of the explorers around her that she was afraid of the Cai Guangjin trio, or the big casino behind them.

"Excuse me, do you know Jaz? I'm looking for him." Lei Ye then changed his tone to a calmer one.

"Oh, I don't know." The lady at the counter shook her head.

"All right."

To be honest, it's a bit stupid. The other party is hiding from debt, so it's not realistic to just ask for his location casually.

"How do you usually find people?" Lei Ye turned around and asked in a low voice.

"Find someone you know, stop him when he's alone, and beat him up while asking questions." Guang answered in a low voice.

Lei Ye was stunned.

The fact that he has currently paid to hire these three people does not mean that he has accepted them. Now it seems that they are not good people. It is worth teaching them a lesson after the matter is over.

Or just let these people suffer a little like you did when you made money.

"Do you know Jazz? Where might he usually appear?" Lei Ye turned around and continued to ask.

The lady at the counter looked like she didn't want to say anything, but was embarrassed because of fear.

After a long silence, she slowly uttered a few words.

"Jazz is a scout after all, and is very good at setting up camp anywhere, so I really don't know where he will be. You can ask someone else."

It turned out to be a scout.

Lei Ye suddenly realized, no wonder the big casino wanted this person so much.

Scouts usually work for the Explorers Guild and are responsible for long-term investigations around the city. When they discover dangerous monsters, they will report them to the guild urgently. They must also guard against surprise attacks from the Demon King's army or other national armies.

Compared with assassins and thieves, scouts hardly need to have any combat capabilities. They only need keen observation skills and extreme life-saving abilities.

Because his abilities are so outstanding, he is targeted by big casinos. And for the same reason, big casinos have not been able to catch him until now.

After all, even a top-notch white glove like Cai has difficulty catching a thief.

Wait, so the situation of the guild is pretty bad, right? Lei Ye turned his head and looked at the commission board again, then turned his head to the lady at the counter.

"There are no other scouts in the guild?"

"We are trying hard to recruit." The lady at the counter suddenly looked very distressed.

Lei Ye could see why she was so distressed, and pointed to the commission board next to her, "The content on this board has not been updated for a long time."

"Yes! To be honest, it's very troubling because there are a lot of monsters outside the city recently, and it is said that there are unknown terrible monsters, so no one dares to go out. Currently, the top explorers in the guild are working hard to investigate. As for the ones on the commission board, who do you think is willing to take the risk of encountering powerful monsters in order to defeat goblins?"

The lady at the counter couldn't help but speak faster, and after she realized what was happening, she lowered her head again.

I understand.

Lei Ye fell into deep thought.

He then suddenly strode forward and tore off a few commissions.

"Boss, is this right?"

Guang looked at the order form in his hand with a confused look on his face.

Unlike Cai, he was not an explorer, so the commission in his hand was very unfamiliar to him. Goblin hunting? What? When did the casino assign him such a job?
It's impossible to become a good person.

"Don't call me Boss. We only have one Boss now," Cai corrected softly, "Also, don't question why the Boss did this. He must have his reasons."

"We trusted him because we trusted you, but is this son-in-law really reliable? He promised me that he would be my boyfriend, but he hasn't even seen his shadow yet." Jinye shook the letter of entrustment. Cai was silent for a moment, thinking that his boyfriend might have really lied to him.

In fact, he had quite a few doubts in his mind, for example, his attitude towards the two maids he brought with him was completely different.

The accounting maid was not treated like a maid, and sometimes she was even overshadowed. According to the tradition of Gadru, it was unlikely that there would be a male demi-human who was afraid of his wife.

He didn't treat the blue-haired maid like his own maid at all, he protected her like his own daughter. He even covered the child's eyes when looking at the loan list, as if he was afraid of being seen by her if he did something bad. The same was true when he went out this time. He left a lot of delicious food that Ah Cai had never seen before and left.

For example, his attitude towards the bunny girls and white gloves was too gentle.

Cai didn't want his leader to madly whip his masochists, but in his eyes, such a "soft" person couldn't accomplish much, especially the careers that Lei Ye mentioned required a stronger hand.

All these small details slightly subverted the image of the terrifying son-in-law in Cai's mind. Could it be that he had misjudged the person?
"I accepted the commission because we don't want to alert the enemy. Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous to leave Bologna in such a swagger." Lei Ye suddenly said without looking back.

Cai's heart moved slightly.

wrong.

wrong!

Could it be that the son-in-law had already obtained enough intelligence so quickly and knew the existence of the hostile organization? Even the big casino was only investigating and had not confirmed it yet.

It is said that half of the people on the loan list have joined this organization. Although it is not certain what they are going to do, it is definitely something detrimental to the big casinos.

In Bologna, the law enforcement department is on Bologna's side, so in the entire Bologna, the only unfavorable factor is such a possible resistance organization. The move of the son-in-law is a killing move.

"Since Jaz is a scout, it's common for him to camp outside the city. If he couldn't find it after searching for so long in the city, of course he must be outside."

Financial situation suddenly became clear.

Bologna is not very big, and the person he had been looking for for so long might have left the city, and he had never searched outside the city.

After all, if you can decide to give up your relationships and life in this city, why not move to another city? Why live like a wild man in the nearby forest?

But what if there is a scout in that organization who is good at surviving in the wild? Their base camp is likely to be in a camp outside the city!
"Boss, what should we do?" Cai asked respectfully after some brainstorming.

"First, let's each handle the commissions on hand. We've already accepted them."

".clear."

Acai signaled with a look.

Although somewhat reluctant, Guang and Jin still picked up their weapons and went to look for their respective caves. Acai also picked up the commission form and went to find the location on it.

Lei Ye nodded. Even if they didn't discuss the past of these people, at least they were obedient and could work.

In fact, Lei Ye didn't have too many ideas. He thought that Jazz might be escaping from debt outside the city and living like Bear Grylls, so he wanted to try his luck and see if he could meet him. If not, he would help Bologna clear the commissions and deal with the more dangerous monsters.

Monsters can harm ordinary people.

He himself also accepted a commission to defeat the horned wolf, which was a type of monster he liked because it reminded him of someone.

Arriving at the target area, Lei Ye casually threw a portion of fried rice on the ground as bait, a trick that Luoya taught him. He then found a secluded corner to sit down and wait for the horned wolf to come.

After thinking for a while, he took out the person he just thought of from the storage bag and placed him next to him.

The prison cloth, ah the prison cloth.

In the save file of Sixperth, Lei Ye took her soul with him, which made him feel very sick.

So he didn't do that in the subsequent saves. Although he wanted to this time, he only took Buyadi's body with him.

Buyadi was asked to sit down with him against the tree.

Because of the characteristics of the storage bag, all non-living things will remain in the state they were in when they were stored.

So at this moment Buyadi still has some warm body temperature.

A human body loses temperature very quickly. If Lei Ye wants to do something, he can only do it now. He puts his hands on Buyadi's shoulders and hugs her in his arms, holding her close, with his head against hers.

I think this world is quite perverted. If someone has this interest, he can collect a large number of corpses of beautiful girls and use the possible preservation magic to play with them whenever he wants.

However, Lei Ye had no indecent thoughts when facing Buyadi's body, and he was even too lazy to take off Buyadi's boots. He was just a little tired, and leaned against Buyadi to feel her big body, the fleshy arms, full breasts, and the floral scent of her hair. All of this could help him restore some of his SAN value.

The more he went back in time, the more he understood the loneliness and solitude that Buyadi would occasionally reveal.

Just like Buyadi closed her eyes as if she was asleep at this moment, the expression on her face was not as strong and arrogant as in her memory, but the face of a gentle girl. However, she must have experienced a lot before choosing to become strong. After all, she is also a person who has justice in her heart and wants to make changes. She wants to eliminate war, which is the greatest justice.

That's why she can shine so brightly in Lei Ye's memories. Compared with the time Lei Ye has experienced, that period of time was a little short, but it has never been blurred.

"Oh, prison cloth, oh, prison cloth."

Fatigue and longing surged into his heart, and Lei Ye even groaned loudly.

He really missed this big, noisy girl. If she were around, she would handle most of the problems by herself, and Lei Ye would just be responsible for cooking and being teased every day like a gigolo. Although such a vision was a little embarrassing for a man from Northeast China, that kind of life must be great.

This is what it must be like for two people after they get married.

The break was over and there was some movement in the bushes over there.

Lei Ye stood up and thought for a while, then he squatted down again, gently kissed Buyadi's forehead, and then put her into the storage bag.

Although my heart is full of tenderness and love, it is still very perverted to carry the body of my lover with me and take it out to kiss it when I miss him or her!

What's worse is that Lei Ye now doesn't think there is anything abnormal about this at all. He even feels that this makes him feel a lot more relaxed. He has decided to pack up Buyadi's soul and body and take them away in the next save file.

Then next time I'll kiss her corpse in front of Buyad's soul or something.
"I really don't dare to look at my current moral value." He muttered and took out the holy sword.

Of course, he didn't notice that there were several long-legged butterflies on the tree gliding lightly as he moved to another tree, following him in this way.

If you look at it from below, you would mistake it for a large butterfly, but if you look at it from above, you would only see a beautiful human face.
