Chapter 802 Sparrow's Open Recruitment
"How could the person who told you know such a big thing?" Xia Shou asked.

"I can't tell you that." Little Red Riding Hood said mysteriously.

"But this doesn't sound safe either. If we really follow them down, how will we get back?" Xia Shou continued asking from a different angle.

"The answer to this question has been exclusively bought by Sparrow." Little Red Riding Hood paused, then said meaningfully, "But if you board his ship, you don't have to worry about this."

Xia Shou couldn't help but laugh, thinking that he was indeed a businessman. He had already laid several hooks in just a few short conversation. It seemed that Sparrow had invested a lot of money to let Little Red Riding Hood trick him into getting on board.

"Then let's not talk about that. I want to ask you about someone who is also in the Heaven Choir, but I don't know if you know him."

"What does his head sculpt look like?"

Xia Shou gave a very detailed description of the expression, age, and appearance of the head sculpture of the woman who claimed to be the pillar of the world.

After listening to this, Little Red Riding Hood pondered for a long time.

"There's no one who fits the bill. I can't remember the person. It would be nice if there was a portrait."

"Then I'll bring her over next time, but I'll ask you about her, so don't mention her to anyone else," Xia Shou warned.

"Such words are superfluous. Don't you know my reputation?"

After saying this, Little Red Riding Hood suddenly stretched her neck, as if she saw someone in the crowd.

He gestured to Xia Shou and said goodbye hurriedly: "We have to talk next time. I seem to have an important client to entertain."

After saying that, the huge human-shaped double-door refrigerator flexibly moved through the crowd and went to a place where Xia Shou could not see it. It was unknown who he had seen in the crowd before.

Xia Shou looked around again and saw Sparrow. He was still drunk, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and a glass in the other, chatting happily with the people around him.

When Xia Shou and the other person met each other's eyes, Sparrow raised his glass to him from a distance, revealing his shining gold tooth, but he did not come over.

Xia Shou hesitated for a moment and walked towards the other party. When Sparrow saw Xia Shou coming, he immediately said a few words to the people around him, ended the topic, and then opened his arms to welcome Xia Shou head-on.

"Hey! Faust, it's been a long time since we last met. Have you made up your mind?"

"I haven't decided yet, but I can help you with other things first."

"Oh~ Really? Really?" Sparrow repeated "Really?" twice, walked around Xia Shou with the drunken steps of a sailor, and then patted Xia Shou on the shoulder, "Don't worry, don't worry, I saw you talking to Little Red Riding Hood just now, and he has some incredible news, did you buy it?"

"I didn't buy it." Xia Shou guessed that Sparrow was referring to the Fall of History, but he didn't say that Little Red Riding Hood told him for free.

Of course, he was not sure whether Sparrow was pretending. It was possible that Little Red Riding Hood told Sparrow for free. It was even possible that the prices of the ten fragments were false just to raise the value of the information.

But now, he wanted to hear what Sparrow would say next.

Sparrow pointed his finger and opened his mouth to speak, but he burped a foul burp and said, "That's great news, but you can't afford it, right? Come on board my ship. As long as you get on board and set sail, I will tell all the crew members this ten-page news for free... How about it? This opportunity has become even more rare."

"I heard that you were hanging out with Pedros." Xia Shou changed the subject directly.

Sparrow's eyes lit up. "You heard about it? You're really well-informed. Yes, Pedros will be with us this time. He's a real expert in the study of Moyusi. If you want to swim in the ocean of time, you'll have to rely on him at the critical moment... Why, are you familiar with him?"

"No, but I'd love to meet him."

Sparrow laughed twice, and suddenly asked again: "Are you worried about exposing your real identity when you get on board?"

Xia Shou nodded. This was indeed a risk he was considering, and there was nothing wrong with admitting it.

He is not like Sparrow, who has become a VIP and can move around in reality in the appearance of a legendary character. It is natural for him to worry about exposing his real identity.

Sparrow tilted his head and thought for a while: "If you are worried about this, you can try the public recruitment channel. I have been looking for crew members in the circle for a long time. With your ability, you will definitely pass.

By then, I won't be able to find you among all the sailors I recruited, and I don't need to find you, I just need to know that you are on board." After hearing this request, Xia Shou suddenly came up with a good idea.

"What if I get on board and I can't help?"

"I will make good use of you. As long as the crew obeys the captain's orders, they will be of help." Sparrow smiled confidently.

"So what is your open recruitment channel?"

"It's on Dream.com. Search for 'The Great Captain Sparrow's Crew Recruitment' and you'll find the one that costs money to authenticate." Sparrow raised the bottle and drank it all. "If you want it, you have to hurry. The date to raise anchor is just around the corner."

Xia Shou nodded and looked around, but didn't see Little Red Riding Hood.

He waited for a while, walked around the club again, and then left through the back door.

……

……

He opened his eyes, and the light shone through the narrow gap in the curtains onto the white sheets. He was the only one on the bed, with his clothes and pants fully dressed, the same as before he fell asleep. There was only a concave bed mark on his side, proving that someone had slept here before.

Xia Shou heard the sizzling sound of frying eggs in a frying pan outside, as if someone was cooking in the kitchen.

I put on my slippers and walked out of the bedroom, and the aroma of sausages filled my nostrils.

The kitchen of the apartment is semi-open. He walked from the bedroom to the living room, which was directly opposite the kitchen and dining room. He had an unobstructed view of the kitchen. Shangguan Yan was wearing an apron, and her shoulder-length red hair was tied into a bun and hung behind her head. Her beautiful white neck could be clearly seen from behind.

She expertly flipped the pan, flipping the omelette beautifully over, then slid it onto the reflective white porcelain plate, which already had fried sausage on it and a few sprigs of rosemary for garnish.

At this time, the microwave oven also made a buzzing sound to indicate that the work was completed. She reached out with her sleeves rolled up, opened the door, took out a large pot of milk, and poured it into two glasses.

Xia Shou saw that in addition to the sausage and egg omelette that had just come out of the pan, there was also a tray of buns and a tray of steamed buns that had been prepared long ago, a perfect combination of Chinese and Western cuisine.

Watching the minister making breakfast from behind made Xia Shou actually feel a sense of virtuous atmosphere. How should he put it? He often saw such scenes in TV dramas, and the plots at this time were always created very warm and peaceful.

Plus, the minister’s current outfit is really…homely?
Yes, it can be said that wearing ordinary thin long-sleeved shirts and jeans is no longer the standard workplace style of a suit with a white shirt. This change in clothing further reinforces the stereotyped warm impression in Xia Shou's mind.

It's a bit scary and disturbing to be honest.

Although the minister had said before that she liked cooking, this scene was not suitable for her at all.

"Awake?" Shangguan Yan turned around and smiled. His smile was elegant, with a bit of cold intellect, but it did not make people feel the gentleness and thoughtfulness that matched the scene.

Even though she now has a bun on her hair and wears black-framed glasses, which fully reflects her homely style, her expression and temperament are completely that of... If I had to describe it, she would be a hostess who has a strong sense of propriety, is accustomed to living alone, and doesn't like socializing.

She does things very relaxed, but that’s because it’s at her house.

She smiled at you, but it was because you were in her house.

Her hospitality is impeccable, but you have to be grateful to her as the host, because this hospitality is merely a continuation of the expression of the host-guest relationship. Once this relationship is stripped away, she will be the absolute superior and the unquestionable ruler.

But now, knowing that you are grateful to her, she can maintain a certain degree of tenderness, just as humans take extra care of obedient cats and dogs.

Xia Shou immediately stood at attention unconsciously and suddenly felt like he was back at work.

When I saw the other person's face, the familiar feeling came back instantly. All the warmth and virtue were just illusions. The minister is indeed the minister.

"Just finished, let's have breakfast." Shangguan Yan said kindly.
