Chapter 132
She turned to the side, trying to escape the question, but she saw Lin Qiao approaching her ghostly, staring at her back with half-lidded eyes.
Lin Qiao gritted her teeth. This prodigal woman still didn't know how to spend her money wisely!
Okay, it seems that before looking for Naki, we need to go to Tatara and Kaneki first and remove her financial power.
Green-haired pigeons only need to find ways to make money, and don’t have to worry so much about spending money!
Chapter 141 What are you doing with your conscience?
Although someone poked a painful point, the somewhat embarrassing situation did not last long. Aite seemed to have remembered something, turned around and retorted:
"Wait, you still have the nerve to talk to me? Didn't you buy a bunch of useless things yourself?"
"Compressed biscuits and cans, apart from you, me and that pink hair, who in the entire organization can eat these things?"
As we all know, ghouls cannot eat normal food.
Even Nishio Nishiki and the others are now able to spontaneously cultivate RC cells in the laboratory and create semi-finished alternative food.
But it’s just a semi-finished product after all.
Even after that, Nishio Nishiki and Nishino Takami have thought of many ways to improve it as much as possible, such as mixing it with other foods, or even mixing it with animal blood.
The change that occurred was from a pile of snow to something that looked like a pile of snow.
There is progress, but not much.
The still bad taste still puts many ghouls away.
In other words, apart from what was needed for experiments, most of the things Lin Qiao bought were useless.
——And more importantly, I bought so many useless things!
"Didn't I tell you? That's part of the plan."
After looking at Lin Qiao who didn't care, she thought of the useless things piled up in the warehouse and gathering dust. She really didn't feel cold at all.
He raised his eyebrows, a certain dissatisfaction rising.
If your love is not your money, just waste it as you like!
After looking at each other for a while, the two sighed almost at the same time.
"...I'm still short of money..."
Ultimately, lack of money is the root of the problem.
Forget about ordinary daily expenses. Although the cost of group buying new suits like white suits is a bit painful, to put it bluntly, it is not much use.
The real bulk of the money is spent on weapons, such as guns and ammunition.
Hezi's thing is easy to use, it is harder than steel, and as a part of the body, it is naturally quite flexible to operate.
But how much power can be exerted depends entirely on personal creation.
At least for the low-level rookie ghouls, if they really want to fight, it is better to give them a gun than to rely on He Zi.
.....However, we have to admit that the prices offered by those bastards in the black market are really bad!
Even with the help of Fangcun Gongshan, an old father who took out his own coffin book, the problem of insufficient funds still troubled Aite and Lin Qiao.
However, since he announced his separation from the terrorist organization, the previous practice of serving as bodyguards and doing underworld work for those wealthy ghouls naturally no longer works.
Income directly ushered in a big plunge.
"Oh~ Speaking of which, young man, you seem to be from the second generation of rich people. So for the sake of love and peace, how about you make a small contribution?"
With a familiar look, Aite leaned on the back of the chair and approached Lin Qiao with a smile.
The latter shook his head helplessly, then raised a hand and put it on her head, pressing her down.
"You didn't pay me a penny, you just used my labor for free, and now you actually want me to pay for work? You green-haired pigeon just wants to hang a street light, right?"
"Oh~ As a man, don't reject it so quickly. It's hard for a stingy man to win a girl's heart... And if Xiao Hina-san knew that the big brother she admired was a hard-core man who couldn't pull off anything, Maybe it will be so sad~"
"You can get it. If you have the ability, go to Arima Kisho for money. With his status and ability, it shouldn't be a problem to shell out tens of millions."
"No, even though that guy is rich and has a high status, he is also being closely watched by V."
She spread her hands and had a helpless expression on her face. If it was really that easy, she would have gone to the other party to ask for money.
All we can count on now is Lin Qiao, the former rich second generation.
"But have you forgotten that my house was confiscated by CCG before? My game account has been blocked, what do you expect to come up with?"
"So, you haven't set aside an emergency fund or anything? Just like in the movies, hide the money in a remote place..."
"Do you think I am this kind of person?"
"That's really a pity..."
After getting the expected answer, Aite said he was sorry, but his actual expression made it impossible to feel any regret at all.
Obviously, she didn't expect much from Lin Qiao, a poor second-generation rich man, who could spend tens of millions. She just mentioned it casually.
Staring at Aite sitting there cross-legged, not caring at all that he had exposed himself, Lin Qiao recalled something absentmindedly.
"What's wrong? Looking at me like this all of a sudden?"
Seemingly noticing the change in Lin Qiao's expression, Aite couldn't help but observe his expression with a little curiosity.
"Could it be that you are attracted to me, sister? Do you want to do something shameful in the dead of night?"
He crossed his hands to cover his chest, curled up together, and said in an extremely exaggerated tone, but Lin Qiao remained calm about this.
Aite didn't even think that he would take out his cell phone to record the scene.
A bit abnormal.
"I heard the store manager's voice outside the corridor just now. I'm listening to the corner outside the door now... Well, you continue."
"cough!"
A faint cough came from outside, and then the sound of footsteps leaving quickly.
Correspondingly, Aite couldn't laugh at all, and his pretty face instantly turned cold.
"Sure enough, I just want to see your expression."
Lin Qiao was very happy about this.
"Anyway, back to the topic. The last time I sneaked into the CCG headquarters, I heard an interesting thing... Mato Gosu woke up."
"Who is that?"
"It's Mato Akatsuki...forget it, you don't even know me, anyway, why are you doing something so unconscionable?"
"I hate it~ Mr. Ishimori, how can you think of girls so much..."
"If you're lucky, you might be able to make a lot of money."
"Well, let's be specific."
...
Faced with the blowing sea breeze, Mato Wuxi sighed. The hot breath he exhaled instantly condensed when it was cold, turning into white mist, which was then blown away by the cold wind.
I don’t know when white snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
The briefcase containing Kuink also felt much heavier than before.
Although after a period of rehabilitation training, he no longer needs to use crutches and other auxiliary tools to walk, but his physical fitness is still far from what he was before his coma.
Because of this, he was refused participation in the subsequent Battle of Ryudao.
"Sorry, Xiao, Wei, Yamen... I can't avenge you."
Why am I only allowed to survive...?
Looking longingly at the small island at the end of the sea, the water vapor rising from the sea made it quite hazy.
——Liu Dao.
The base camp of "Bronze Tree".
Even though it is visible to the naked eye, it is an insurmountable distance.
Chapter 142 This is a win-win situation
After standing there for an unknown amount of time, until his hands and feet were a little stiff from the cold, Mato Wuxi turned around and left, leaving only a desolate figure behind.
No matter what, for him now, it is more important to recover as soon as possible.
But just as he was about to leave, he heard a fierce argument coming from the side.
"Miss, I've told you many times that you can't do this!"
"Don't worry, sir. I'm just collecting material for the novel. It won't affect your normal work... Of course, I won't let you go in vain. The corresponding remuneration will naturally be no problem. ....”
"It's not that problem. The main thing is that there is a notice now that all ships are not allowed to leave the port."
"Eh? Why is this like this? Can't you just take me out for a walk?"
"No, no, and didn't I tell you just now that ships are not allowed to leave the port now?"
Turning around, I saw that the person arguing seemed to be a man and a woman, a middle-aged man dressed as a fisherman, and a woman who seemed to be a novelist or painter based on the conversation.
Due to the upcoming crusade against Liudao, in order to avoid casualties among ordinary people, the CCG and some related departments directly blocked small fishing boats in the port.
Except for large cargo ships, which can still enter and exit, the rest are not allowed to leave the port during this period.
——Mato Gosu also knows this.
In the past, he might have rushed to persuade the woman to give up this dangerous practice... But now he just wants to be alone.
Anyway, nothing would happen. Even if she really wanted to do something, the coast guard would have stopped her... probably.
But just when he was about to leave with heavy steps, the fisherman took the initiative to stop him: "Please wait a moment, Mr. Investigator over there."
This is really hard to do even if you want to be alone.
Sighing, now that he had been called, he could only turn around helplessly: "...Do you need any help? This gentleman."
"No, it's nothing. I just want you to help persuade that girl."
The man in need of help seemed helpless.
"She said she was some kind of novelist and wanted to draw materials for the next content. She always wanted me to take her out to sea. Don't you think she was making trouble?"
"But this is just for collecting materials. Besides, if you don't want me to take pictures of you at work, Mr. Fisherman, why don't you send me to a nearby island and let me pick up the scenery? It's not that far anyway."
"Didn't I tell you that fishing boats are not allowed to leave the port now? And there are many reefs near the island, and many boats have hit the rocks and had accidents."
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, which showed signs of starting to quarrel again, Mado Wuxiu felt a headache, and at the same time he roughly understood what was going on.
In general, it's not too complicated. He had encountered this kind of thing frequently in his past experience as a ghoul investigator.
He had not seen people like that who didn't listen to advice and ran to some dangerous areas before.
It can only be said that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.
"This lady..."
Taking a deep breath, just when he was about to mediate the matter, and just about to speak, he suddenly felt a strange feeling.
.....What's wrong?
Looking at the petite black-haired woman with glasses and a smile on her face, his heart skipped a beat.
Come to think of it, what was she planning to do?
It seemed like she wanted to go by boat to collect materials or something.....
Wait!
Boat? Boat!
A strange current shot through his mind, and he suddenly realized something.
