Chapter 58: List of Flower Streets

"what is this?"

Li Feng hesitantly took the tabloid handed over by Kestrel.

To be precise, it was a pamphlet.

It's just that the black and white prints printed on the cover of the album are a bit... too elegant.

"Marcus Flower Street Miss Directory, open it and take a look."

Li Feng:? ? ?

"What, a directory?"

Both the title and the cover of this booklet are very confusing.

"ha!"

Kestrel laughed when he saw Li Feng's reaction, and the Holy Inquisitor's seriousness suddenly became much less serious:

"I thought all handsome young men understood it? It seems that you are a very qualified priest."

Li Feng: "..."

Without further questioning, Li Feng had already guessed the contents of the booklet from Kestrel's words.

But even so, when he opened the book and browsed through two pages, he was still shocked by the nature of this book.

This is a booklet similar to Dianping.

It’s just that the review targets the beautiful girls on Flower Street in the dock area.

The content of the review covers all aspects, including appearance, behavior, service, skills, talents, and special attributes. ①

Li Feng knew that this was a chaotic era. The invention of the steam engine allowed machines to replace manual work.

In this era, men could go to sea, jump on a steamboat and make a living on the sea.

For women, machines have replaced their original jobs.

When they come to the city from the countryside, there are only two serious jobs they can do, namely maids and female workers.

A maid who lived in her master's house had almost no social status.

Moreover, their owners often refused to lock their rooms, citing work concerns.

As for the female workers, Li Feng browsed some geography and humanities books about the Endless Sea in the church library.

Most of the factories in this world are located in inland areas, and there are almost no large factories in coastal cities.

Even the capital of Storm Island, such as Wind's Rest City, is mainly focused on fishing and maritime transportation.

So those girls who came to Storm City in large numbers, after traveling long distances, found out in the end that they didn't seem to have any serious jobs to do.

Without good governance, a rapidly developing society will often reach a new bottom line quickly.

In an era when the gap between the rich and the poor was huge and there was a lack of moral sense, poverty was never laughed at but prostitution was never laughed at. When those businesses had a market, they were openly displayed openly.

Then, this kind of flower street directory booklet that refreshed the bottom line came into being.

Li Feng had no intention of commenting on this kind of booklet. He was not even interested in these things.

After flipping through roughly two pages, Li Feng asked Kestrel:

"What happened in the dock area? Is it related to this?"

Kestrel smiled with satisfaction, he was very satisfied with Li Feng's reaction.

It is difficult for people who are addicted to these things to have a future, let alone a future on the extraordinary path.

"Look at this page."

Kestrel said, turning the booklet to a certain page for Li Feng to read.

Li Feng looked carefully and saw that this page was no different from other pages. They were all commenting on the girl.

This page is about a girl named Mo'er from Deep Sea Rose.

At first there was no difference, they were all things that were not easy to describe.

But suddenly without warning, the author began to describe some unknown things, and his language became frantic.

Eight hands touching the face at the same time, tentacles that can span the long table...

Li Feng brought it from Kestrel and read it in books about demons. It was very consistent with the characteristics of certain demons.

"Do you see that Miss Mo'er of Deep Sea Rose is abnormal?"

Kestrel asked.

Li Feng glanced at him after hearing this, then looked at the cover of the booklet and said:

"I think maybe the author, Mr. Marcus, is not normal."

Kestrel smiled with satisfaction:

"The idea is clear, let's go and take a look."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door of Purple Flower Church.

Li Feng followed behind, and he also understood something from Kestrel's behavior just now.

As a newcomer to deal with the demon incident, Kestrel deliberately used this matter to test him.

Although everyone openly praised Li Feng, saying things like people favored by the Seven Gods would have a formidable future and a bright future.

But no one is stupid, especially Kestrel who can become one of the leaders of Earth Ring on Storm Island.

There are indeed some people in this world who are very lucky, but good luck does not represent their true strength.

So this morning, Kestrel discovered this unusual incident that was not important.

Instead of asking the team members to investigate, they decided to take Li Feng to have a look.

He wanted to see for himself whether this foreigner who had become famous recently and had repeatedly accomplished miracles had real abilities.

So not only did he show him a brochure that men liked, but he also deliberately pointed to wrong clues. It was just an appetizer before the official test.

But simply, Li Feng's performance satisfied him.

At least in terms of character and mind, he is pretty good.

This is what Kestrel is thinking.

On the other side, Li Feng also understood his intention.

As a human being in three lifetimes, two of them have been in a society where information is exploding and interpersonal relationships are close and important.

It's not like Li Feng doesn't understand these potential rules in the workplace.

At the same time, he also understood what he would do next.

This time he is not an accompanying assistant, but a candidate who needs to demonstrate his ability.

"Marcus has disappeared."

It had just rained in the morning, and the roads in the dock area were muddy. Hongshun said to Li Feng as they walked:

"I also sent people to check his house, and there was nothing unusual."

"So...are we going to find Miss Mo'er now?"

Li Feng asked.

If Marcus wrote Miss Mo'er in this booklet, then the two of them must have met before.

"That's right."

Hongshun nodded, stood still, raised his chin and pointed forward:

"We're there, right there."

Like other stores on Flower Street, the front of Deep Sea Rose is also extremely vulgar.

Hongshun greeted the man guarding the door and took Li Feng in.

They went straight to the second floor, but when they were only halfway up the stairs, they heard women crying and yelling.

There is a large living room with gorgeous decorations on the second floor of Deep Sea Rose.

A young blonde girl was sitting on the sofa in the middle crying. There were many other girls around her, some comforting her and some watching coldly.

In the middle of the living room, there was an older middle-aged woman standing, with her hands on her waist, cursing Marcus.

"Marcus is such a heartless man. He got a free ride and wrote a bad review, slandering my girl as a devil!

After all these years, how have I let him down? How can I still do business if he writes like this?!"

This middle-aged woman was the madam of Deep Sea Rose. She was so devoted to cursing that she didn't notice someone coming.

"Ahem."

Hearing the voice, the madam stopped cursing.

After seeing that it was Hong Falcon, her sharp eyes became more charming, and she immediately went up to chat and complain to Hong Falcon.

In this moment, Li Feng observed that there were many small paintings on the table in the living room.

When he walked in, he saw that they were some crooked graffiti.

All the paintings on them were women with eight tentacles and long whiskers.

It seems that this kind of pamphlet has a great influence and has been spread to everyone.

And even paintings mocking Miss Moer are flying everywhere.

This should be the reason why Moer cried and the madam cursed.

After all, in this "social season" when all the crew members are on shore, they are slandered as demons and cannot make money properly.

In the large living room with gorgeous but still gaudy decoration.

The madam pestered Hongshun, hoping that the latter would use his privilege to clear their stigma.

Hongshun did not seem to be in a hurry to investigate the case, and Li Feng knew that it was time for him to do something.

Looking at Moer, whose eyes were already swollen from crying, Li Feng prepared to ask her for some clues first.

//① This kind of pamphlet was not made up by me. It really existed during the Industrial Revolution in Britain, and the maids were also real.
