Chapter 382 Shadows in the City
"Why?"
The peach blossom eyes of the female special attackers turned into the dead fish eyes of some of the male special attackers. Oscar stared at the familiar building in front of him and made a sound of extreme grief and anger.
"Why the Mariners Club?"
That's right, he was carried away from the beach by two hateful war soul masters, walked in circles, and returned to the Sailors Club where he had just eaten at noon.
Gu You put Oscar back on the ground, scratched his head, and said helplessly: "I can't help it, the place Yifan recommended is also here."
Pausing in grief and indignation, Oscar was confused: "Who is Yifan?"
"New friends I met in the spirit fighting arena."
"oh."
He is already used to it. Gu You seems to have a weird habit of meeting new friends. He only met the hotel receptionist at noon. It is not surprising that he met another person from the mixed soul field in the afternoon...
It's strange, how can any soul master be so reserved as to not mingle with ordinary people?
Of course, Oscar was not so nosy as to criticize other people's actions. He just felt more sad and angry.
"Can't you two just eat?"
"Hey, we are good brothers."
"Brother, damn it, I finally managed to get an appointment with my beautiful sister for dinner!"
That's right, Oscar, the talented food-based support system, now just wants to have fun with his beautiful sister.
Finally got a chance to "escape" from the macho hell named Shrek. With his sharp tongue and romantic skills, he finally hooked up with a young and beautiful seaside girl. As soon as he finished the first three conversations, he was attracted by two guys who didn't understand the charm. Tow away.
He didn't even touch it with his soft little hands!
"I'm sorry for my beautiful sister! I'm sorry for my beautiful sister!!!"
Oscar cried bitterly. If he were in the second dimension, he would probably shed tears of blood.
"Hey bro, calm down."
The cold and cruel man pushed Oscar away ruthlessly, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, then put his arms around his neck and said: "You are a man who wants to become the world's number one food-based soul master. Women will only affect your speed of making sausages. "
"This speed is not important at all!"
Suddenly, the closed door was pushed open from the inside, and Li Tian came out with a yawn, and said in an impatient voice: "It's so noisy, we're only here at eight o'clock in the evening... are you again?"
Seeing Gu You and the other three standing at the door, Li Tian's impatience instantly turned into surprise.
"Hey, good evening." Gu You smiled warmly: "Is there a private room in the store?"
Walking into the Sailors Club for the second time, Fang Qi, who was sharpening his knife and preparing to work tonight, saw that the person who came in was Gu You again, and was surprised: "Why are you here again?"
Gu You gave a thumbs up and praised: "I can't help it, everyone says my cooking is the most delicious."
As the saying goes, a person who wears a lot of clothes can never wear it, Fang Qi laughed and scolded: "Those bastards can't get a discount for helping me promote."
"A small change?"
"That's not bad, hahaha."
"Hahaha."
The brainwaves of an old man and a young man suddenly met. The two looked at each other and laughed, leaving the other three people confused.
After laughing, Fang Qi asked Li Tian to send them to the only "box" in this place.
Looking at the curtain still shaking on the door edge, Oscar was speechless.
Ma Hongjun also frowned: "Brother?"
"It doesn't matter." Gu You waved his hand as if he didn't care, and turned to look at Oscar: "You go ahead and say it."
".OK."
Looking at the curtain again, out of trust in Guyou's decision-making, Oscar began to share the intelligence he had collected on the pier and the beach.
"First of all, there are ships. As Teacher Qin Ming said, ships departing from Coast City to the Fire Islands will indeed hang flags of four colors."
When it came to business, Oscar was no longer as frivolous as before. The usually hazy peach blossom eyes are now extremely clear, shrewd like a ragdoll cat lying on a high place overlooking mice.
"The pilot of each ship is a sea soul master. What distinguishes the color of the flag is not the strength, but the degree of mastery of the sea conditions."
"Not strength?"
"How well do you control the sea conditions?"
The other two were both very curious, but the points of curiosity were completely different. Ma Hongjun asked: "Could it be that soul masters with poor strength also have the opportunity to approach Yanwang Island?"
Oscar nodded and explained: "Yes, although it will be more difficult, it is actually possible."
"Won't the soul beasts in the sea and the soul beasts on the island tear them apart?"
"Won't."
The person who answered Ma Hongjun's question was not Oscar. Gu You said in a deep voice: "The division of soul beast areas in the Endless Sea is completely different from the soul beast forest that we usually go to. It can be said to be the most unique among all life restricted areas. You can't judge it with common sense."
"Brother is right," Oscar agreed: "The old sailor on the dock said that most sea spirit beasts will not stay in the same place for a long time. Unless they form a group under the leadership of a strong leader, otherwise The maximum time you can stay in a body of water is three days.”
"That's great. It means we have no idea what kind of spirit beasts we will encounter on the sea, right?"
"almost."
Patting Ma Hongjun on the shoulder, Gu You asked: "What next?"
"Then there is more important information." Looking at the curtain for the third time, Oscar lowered his voice and said: "All ships bound for the Fire Islands are now under the unified management of a place called "Sailor's Home"."
"Sailors' Home? Association?"
There is a blacksmith association in Gengxin City, Wuhun Palace is also considered to be the soul masters association, and it is not surprising that a sailors association suddenly popped up in Coastal City.
"Absolutely," Oscar nodded. "It was established about ten years ago. The slogan or goal at that time was that all sailors share weal and woe and be able to put aside their past grudges and help each other when encountering an accident."
"The founder at that time believed that the situation in the sea was mysterious and unpredictable. Except for the natural disasters, no one knew whether there was a ten-year soul beast or a hundred thousand-year soul beast under the water."
"Only sailors who work together can survive better on the sea."
Guyou commented: "The intention is good, but it lacks feasibility, and there will be no improvement if we continue to persist."
Everyone will say that if you work together, even the most heinous criminals know that you need to work together to succeed in a major crime.
But people have selfish desires, and selfish desires are barriers that hinder people from communicating. If there is no huge benefit that can break down the barriers, no one will be free to help a stranger.
Forget it if you are extorted money, but what if you are stabbed with a knife?
Ma Hongjun said doubtfully: "But he said unified management"
"Don't worry, I'm about to say it."
Oscar rolled his eyes at Ma Hongjun: "After two years of being tepid, the style of Sailor House suddenly took a 180-degree turn."
"Attract white-flag ships and blue-flag ships through super-high welfare benefits, and then defeat other organizations that own red-flag ships and black-flag ships one by one."
"Soon, the Sailor's House unified all the ships bound for the Fire Islands in Coast City and became a veritable giant."
"Immediately afterwards, they levied a high share on all their ships and prohibited ships that were not enthroned in the Sailor's Home from sailing to the Fire Islands. Over time, it evolved into what it is today."
The faint sound of chopping vegetables suddenly stopped in his ears, and Gu You asked thoughtfully: "From your tone, it seems that you have learned something incredible."
"That's right." Oscar smiled triumphantly: "The Sailor's House claims to be sailor autonomy, and the money received from the share will be used for sailors who have accidents. In fact, all the money is used by the controller behind the scenes. Take it away.”
"who?"
"The largest family in Coastal City, the current city owner is Qi Xiaofeng."
Hearing the sound of chopping vegetables gradually in his ears, Gu You tapped his fingers on the table: "Evidence."
Oscar replied: "Ship bound for the Fire Islands."
When he heard that it was related to the ship, Ma Hongjun frowned and said impatiently: "Be more detailed."
White flag ship, blue flag ship, red flag ship, black flag ship, there are four kinds of ships, who knows what ship Oscar is talking about.
The Riddler and Gu Yu are enough, no more idiots will be enough.
"Twenty red-flag ships that can reach large islands, and three black-flag ships that can reach super-large islands. The captains all have the same surname."
Oscar said: "If it has nothing to do with Qi Xiaofeng, you can twist off my head and use it as a chamber pot."
"That's not the case"
Unexpectedly, Oscar was so confident. Gu You sighed: "I can't tell, this guy is very good at gathering intelligence."
"As expected of a student of Shrek."
"That is."
Hearing Gu You praise Shrek Academy, Oscar wiped his nose and showed a shy and proud smile.
As the last student of Shrek Academy, after Yu Xiaogang left, he, like Ma Hongjun, received meticulous special education from Flanders Zhao Wuji.
Not only as a soul master, but also as a human being.
Compared with Yu Xiaogang's almost non-existent personal moral education, the moral character of Flender Zao Wou-Ki and others is simply shining. Although I can't say how good it is, at least it is good.
The seventy-level Zhao Wuji usually has a bad temper and causes trouble, but as soon as he enters the Star Forest, he dares to activate his martial soul avatar and force the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape to stand behind his students.
On the other hand, Yu Xiaogang, the most senior level 29 great spirit master in history, even though he couldn't defeat the four-hundred-year-old mandala snake, he still held Tang San's hand when he was poisoned, as if he was afraid that he would leave her and run away.
If Yu Xiaogang had been replaced by Zhao Wuji, he would have chosen to push Tang San forward as soon as he was confirmed to have been poisoned, using his own body to calm the mandala snake's anger.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar have obviously learned that they can be aloof at ordinary times, but must be able to toughen up at critical moments.
"Brother, what should I do?"
Oscar didn't say it directly, but Ma Hongjun could also hear his underlying meaning. If there is no way to build a relationship with the city lord, it is nonsense to go to large islands and super large islands.
You can either go to Teacher Qin Ming or Qiu Poison Douluo Mian, it depends on Gu You’s choice.
"Eat and then go back and change clothes."
Gu You put his finger on the corner of his mouth and pushed it up, and said in a bright tone: "Don't frown, just smile. We have a big project tonight."
After finishing their first dinner in Seaside City, the three of them returned to the hotel, changed into decent clothes, and went straight to today's final target, the Seaside City auction house.
Viewed from a distance, the Haibin City Auction House is not very big, with some black spots on the white exterior wall. It is incomparable to the Tiandou City Auction House, which is splendidly decorated with gold and gems.
But when he took a closer look, Gu You found that he had made a complete mistake.
Ma Hongjun, who was staring at the door of the auction house, put his head in his hands and said in disbelief: "Are they all pearls on the door?"
I saw that the door was full of densely packed small protrusions, the black shark opened its bloody mouth, and the small white fish fled in all directions, showing a ruthless picture of the deep sea.
"Guest, you are right."
Four girls standing in front of the door noticed the strange combination in the distance. One of them, who was taller, walked slowly and introduced in a clear voice: "This gate is called the Deep Sea Gate. It is inlaid with 100,000 white pearls, 2,000 black pearls and 1,500 gray pearls, which finally depicts this deep sea scenery."
After that, she bowed slightly and asked: "Three guests, is there anything I can help you with?"
Oscar said casually: "This is the auction house, we want to go in and take a look."
"?"
The girl was a little stunned. It was the first time she heard such direct words. Feeling unlikely, she still asked: "Excuse me, three guests. Can I see your bidding qualification certification?"
Oscar was stunned, "Bidding qualification certification?"
Seeing this, the girl sighed in her heart, but still patiently explained: "In order to prevent malicious bidding, the auction house has set up bidding qualification certification as an entry qualification."
"The qualification is divided into several levels, and the lowest level also requires 10,000 gold soul coins as a deposit. That is to say, only those who pay at least 10,000 gold soul coins to the auction house are eligible to enter and participate in the auction."
"10,000 gold soul coins, why don't you go and grab it?!"
Oscar was shocked. With 10,000 gold soul coins, he could do anything else. Why bother to enter the auction house to see what's going on inside.
You know, not all deposits can be taken away. It's a deposit in name, but in reality it's spending 10,000 gold soul coins to buy an auction ticket.
Even if you only go in once in your life and haven't bought anything, it's impossible to get a refund.
"Brother, let's go."
Ma Hongjun also persuaded Gu You to leave. There was no need to waste 10,000 gold soul coins for the visit.
"It's okay. I'm here now."
Gu You, one of the four great tolerances in his previous life, took out a martial soul card from his arms and handed it over, "There are exactly 10,000 gold soul coins in it. Take it to your supervisor for inspection."
After taking Gu You's martial soul card for inspection, the girl bowed again and made a gesture of invitation: "Okay guests, please follow"
Before she finished speaking, there was a fierce sound of horse hooves in the distance. The girl's face suddenly changed, and she said to the three people anxiously: "He is coming, the three guests please step back quickly."
As she said that, she pushed Gu You with her hand, obviously wanting him to step back quickly.
The girl's strength was very small, and in Gu You's eyes it was no different from a mosquito bite. But noticing the undisguised panic in the girl's eyes, he still took the initiative to step back, and by the way pulled the confused Ma Hongjun and Oscar behind him.
Boom boom boom~~~
The heavy door slowly opened, and a group of men in gorgeous clothes who could not hide their dandy air laughed wildly and rode their horses into the auction house. During the period, they also whipped the reception girls on both sides, and their skin was torn and flesh was exposed, revealing the old wounds under their skirts.
Only the one in front of Gu You was able to escape because of the distance.
Gu You narrowed his eyes: "Who are they?"
"Qi Tao, the only son of the city lord, and his friends."
