At this time, the roar of propellers spinning was heard in the sky, and at the same time, dazzling searchlights shone down.
Shen Qiu and others who were browsing the forum raised their heads and looked towards the sky.
All they saw were armed helicopters appearing above their heads.
Immediately afterwards, on the empty road in the center of the resettlement site, armored transport vehicles drove over and soldiers in black combat uniforms jumped off them.
"Oh, the troops are here to help."
Chen Wei said happily.
Li Yan took a quick glance, then sighed and said.
"Looking at their equipment, this force should be the city defense reserve force of Shenxing City."
"That's not bad. Do you want to come to the Red Holy Word Army?"
Huayue said with a smile.
"If it's the Red Sacred Word Army that comes, we probably won't have much of a chance."
Shen Qiu said with a smile.
Just as Shen Qiu and the others were talking and laughing, Gu Yuan came over.
"Minister Gu!"
Shen Qiu greeted them one after another.
"Well, thank you for your hard work along the way. Now that the first batch of auxiliary defense troops have arrived, you will be given a day off tonight and you don't have to be on duty!"
Gu Yuan said to Shen Qiu and others.
"Great, I can finally take a break."
Chen Wei and others stretched lazily.
Li Yan hooked his arm around Shen Qiu's shoulder and asked secretly.
"Shen Qiu, I want to ask you something."
"you say!"
"When I tried to activate the third state, although I touched the edge, I always felt that I couldn't activate it. What is the reason?"
Li Yan asked with a headache. During this period, he also consulted Gu Bu and Yun Xiaoxi, but to no avail.
"Yes! Shen Qiu, can you tell me about it? We have the same problem."
Seeing this, Chen Wei and others came over and asked.
"Is it always like this?"
Shen Qiu asked doubtfully.
"yes!"
Everyone nodded in response.
Shen Qiu pondered for a moment, then said.
"If this is the case, then I think you can further strengthen your genes. Although it seems that the gene level and realm are two different things, it is not the case. When the gene level is high, it is naturally easier to touch..."
…
Half an hour later.
Shen Qiu roughly explained some of his experiences to Li Yan and the others. When they came to their senses, snowflakes were falling.
"Xiaoxi, it's snowing."
Shen Qiu was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized that Yun Xiaoxi was not around.
He turned his head and looked around, and soon saw Yun Xiaoxi.
I saw her sitting on a stone pressing a rope not far away, holding a very dry and hard compressed biscuit in her hand and chewing it silently.
Snowflakes fell on her hair.
Shen Qiu looked at this scene, feeling slightly touched and a little sad.
To be honest, Yun Xiaoxi is a young lady from a wealthy family, even though the Yun family is not doing very well recently.
But a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, no matter how bad the situation is.
She doesn't have to eat compressed biscuits here, risking her life to protect everyone. In the final analysis, all she did was for faith and to protect those helpless people.
In fact, it is precisely because of these aspiring people that the Red Alliance has been able to reach where it is today.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiu walked over and asked with a smile.
"What are you stealing again?"
Yun Xiaoxi was immediately frightened by Shen Qiu, and her short body trembled.
She raised her head and looked at Shen Qiu who was suddenly standing in front of her. She picked up the empty mineral water bottle next to her and said with a bright smile.
"Hehe, I'm smart, right? I drank a bottle of water in advance, so I didn't choke this time."
Shen Qiu looked at this scene and found it funny, so he asked.
"Why are you eating these?"
"I'm hungry, so I'll have something to eat to fill my stomach. Otherwise, I'll be too hungry and won't be able to sleep at night."
Yun Xiaoxi replied with her head tilted.
"Then there's no need to chew on this so late at night. It's not easy to digest. Let's go to Shenxing City. I'll treat you to dinner."
Shen Qiu said to Yun Xiaoxi with a smile.
“Really?”
Yun Xiaoxi's eyes suddenly lit up.
“I want to go too!”
Li Yan suddenly popped out from behind and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Yue came over, stretched out her hand, twisted Li Yan's ear and said.
"What are you going to do? Just stay here and help."
"It hurts, I won't go..."
Li Yan quickly changed his words with a painful expression on his face.
Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi couldn't help but laugh when watching this scene.
…
Not long after, Shen Qiu rode the Storm Chaser and took Yun Xiaoxi into the city.
Although it is quite late now, the City of Shenxing is still very lively. The streets are brightly lit and couples in love can be seen from time to time.
"What do you want to eat?"
Shen Qiu asked.
"Hmm? How about we go to Xingbei Restaurant, the same restaurant where I invited you to dinner for the first time. The desserts there are especially delicious."
Yun Xiaoxi asked expectantly.
"Okay, sit down!"
Shen Qiu then stepped on the accelerator and accelerated.
The Sanhuan Xingbei Restaurant was also brightly lit at this time, with many cars parked at the door.
It seems that there are quite a lot of people coming to eat.
Inside the Shell Restaurant.
Soothing music echoed softly.
At the dining table by the window, Shiyao was wearing a blue and white porcelain cheongsam with her long black hair tied up. She picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip.
Mu Han, who was sitting opposite her in a red dress, said with a smile.
"Did this mission go very wrong?"
"It wasn't very smooth. I entered the other world, but something unexpected happened and I had to withdraw."
Shiyao shook her head slightly and said with a sigh.
"Actually, this isn't a bad thing. The other world is so dangerous..."
As Mu Han was talking, she suddenly realized that Shi Yao did not respond to her.
She looked up in surprise and saw Shiyao looking out the window, so she turned her head to look in the direction Shiyao was looking.
As a result, I saw Yun Xiaoxi and Shen Qiu walking towards the restaurant.
"Xiao Xi!"
Mu Han looked quite surprised. She called Xiao Xi a few days ago and heard that she was still busy with the affairs of Heiyuan City.
At this time, Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi walked into the restaurant.
The two were just about to find a seat when they suddenly heard shouting.
"Xiao Xi!"
Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi turned their heads and saw Mu Han and Shi Yao at a glance.
Shen Qiu was also quite surprised, and he spoke to Xiao Xi.
"What a coincidence! Your bestie, let's go over there."
"Uh-huh."
Xiaoxi replied happily.
So the two of them walked towards Mu Han and the others. When they got closer, Mu Han immediately stepped forward and gave Yun Xiaoxi a warm hug.
"Xiao Xi, I miss you so much."
"I miss you too. It's been a while since we last met."
Xiaoxi was also very excited.
At this time, Shi Yao beside her showed a faint smile, her bright eyes moved slightly, she stretched out her hand to Shen Qiu and said.
"Mr. Shen Qiu, what a coincidence!"
“What a coincidence!”
Shen Qiu smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Shi Yao.
At this time, Mu Han saw Shi Yao taking the initiative to shake hands and greet Shen Qiu, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes. She could clearly sense that Shi Yao's attitude towards Shen Qiu had reversed 180 degrees.
However, Mu Han's expression soon returned to normal, and she invited Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi.
"Let's eat together. We just ordered some food."
Yun Xiaoxi turned her head and looked at Shen Qiu with expectant eyes.
"good!"
Shen Qiu naturally had no objection. It was nice and lively to eat together.
So the four of them sat together, Shi Yao poured a cup of tea for Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi respectively, and then asked.
"Xiao Xi, I heard that you are in charge of the relocation of Black Plains City recently. Have you settled it?"
"How could they be settled so quickly? We didn't arrive until the evening. That is, Department Gu gave us a day off, so we were able to go into the city to eat."
Xiaoxi took a sip of tea, then picked up the cake and ate it while replying.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Shiyao nodded slightly and replied.
"It's nothing, fortunately."
Yun Xiaoxi gently lifted the mask with her left hand, lowered her head to eat the cake, and replied in a somewhat unclear voice.
Shen Qiu saw Xiaoxi wolfing down the food and smiled faintly, then pushed his piece of cake to Xiaoxi.
"For me? I'll be more than welcome."
Yun Xiaoxi said with her eyes lighting up.
Shi Yao looked at this scene, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.
Shen Qiu picked up the teacup and took a sip, then chatted with Mu Han.
"Ms. Mu Han, how is business lately?"
"Thanks to you guys, it's not bad."
Mu Han said with a smile.
"us?"
Shen Qiu was slightly stunned.
"That's right. Recently, many people from the KPI department have come to my store to customize various equipment accessories. I really made the right decision to change my career."
"That's good."
"But they are not as generous as you. When will they take care of my business again?"
Mu Han blinked at Shen Qiu.
"Ha, there will definitely be a chance."
Shen Qiu smiled silently and responded.
…
Half an hour later, Yun Xiaoxi let out a long sigh and said happily.
"I am so full and happy."
"I envy you. You never gain weight no matter how much you eat."
Mu Han was also very envious of Yun Xiaoxi's physique.
“Haha, not bad!”
Yun Xiaoxi replied with a smile.
"Now that you're full, where are you going? Do you want to go home?"
Shen Qiu asked Yun Xiaoxi with a smile.
"It's too late. My parents should be asleep. Going back will only wake them up."
Yun Xiaoxi scratched his head and replied.
"Xiao Xi, I'm going to the KPI headquarters later. Do you want to come with me? I heard that a lot of good things were updated recently, and many people are exchanging things at the KPI headquarters."
Shi Yao invited and asked at this time.
"I haven't been to the KPI headquarters for a long time. Shen Qiu, are you going?"
Yun Xiaoxi thought for a moment and said.
"Let's go!"
Shen Qiu didn't care, he could go anywhere.
"Then you guys go ahead, I'll go back and rest."
Mu Han said with a smile.
"Okay, then Mu Han, let's go!"
Yun Xiaoxi said happily.
"Well, come to the store and play with me when you have time, bye!"
Mu Han then said goodbye to Yun Xiaoxi and others.
…
After a long time, Shen Qiu and the other two arrived at the gate of KPI headquarters.
The entire headquarters was tidied up and looked brand new. If you didn't look closely, you could hardly tell that it had just experienced a fierce battle.
Many people come in and out of the KPI headquarters, and it is very lively.
Shi Yao took Yun Xiaoxi's hand and said to her.
"I heard that the equipment updated this time was newly developed in another world. Maybe there is something suitable for us. We can go and have a look."
"Um."
Yun Xiaoxi nodded and replied.
Just then, several KPI personnel came over talking and laughing. When they saw Shen Qiu, they immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
"Shen Qiu, you come to KPI headquarters too."
"Huh? Oh, yes."
Shen Qiu was stunned for a moment, then replied subconsciously.
"Then let's go first, you can take your time shopping."
The KPI personnel said goodbye with a smile.
"good."
Shen Qiu replied in confusion, his mind racing as he wondered who these people were.
"Shen Qiu, is he your friend?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously.
"I don't know him. I have no impression of him at all."
Shen Qiu scratched his head and replied.
Before Shen Qiu could figure it out, two sweet-looking girls came running over and shouted at him.
"Senior Shen Qiu, good evening."
"Hello, good evening!"
Shen Qiu replied stiffly.
The two girls covered their mouths and smiled as they walked away.
Shen Qiu and the others could vaguely hear the conversation between the two girls.
"He seems to be more handsome in person than in the photo!"
"That's how I feel."
…
At this time, not far away, a young man with a cigarette in his mouth saw Shen Qiu and quickly spoke to his companion next to him.
"Zhang Hao, look! Isn't that Shen Qiu from the airplane business? He's here at the KPI headquarters."
"Yes, it's him, what's wrong?"
Zhang Hao took a look and asked.
"What do you think? Should we go up and say hello? Make ourselves familiar with each other so that we can curry your favor later?"
"Forget it. They don't even know you. Why would you want to do something like this that would lower your status? If you ask me, this thankless task should be left to me."
"Fuck! Do you have any shame?"
…
At this time, Shen Qiu and the other two were walking towards the building, and people kept coming up to them and saying hello along the way.
Yun Xiaoxi said to Shen Qiu quite happily.
"Shen Qiu, you seem to be famous."
"Is there?"
Shen Qiu didn't expect that just showing up and mocking the Defeat Cult would become so popular.
"Yes, you are a celebrity now. If you search online, you can find a lot of news about you."
Shiyao said softly.
"Oh, all right!"
Shen Qiu couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Shen Qiu and his friends walked into the building and came to the lobby. They saw transparent display cabinets placed on both sides of the lobby at some point in time.
The display cabinets are filled with various exquisite masks and jewelry.
As long as you enter the hall, you will definitely walk through the middle of the counter and you can see the goods displayed in the counters on both sides.
"Oh? When did they put a counter here? This KPI is really good at doing business."
Shen Qiu took a quick look and found that the items sold on these counters were not equipment from another world. However, the prices were all in points, which really maximized the profits.
"It's my first time seeing it too. It wasn't there when I came last time."
Shiyao was also surprised.
At this moment, Yun Xiaoxi's attention was attracted by a very delicate red fox mask, and she subconsciously stopped at the counter.
At this time, a tall waitress introduced Yun Xiaoxi with a smile on her face.
"Miss, you really have good taste. This is the latest mask product developed by our Longhui Group. This mask uses the latest alien world technology and has enhanced night vision, wireless communication, abnormal target auxiliary locking, anti-interference and other effects..."
Shen Qiu took a look at Yun Xiaoxi's mask and found that it was very old and had scratches all over it.
Yun Xiaoxi asked with great excitement.
"How many points does this mask cost? Why is there no price tag?"
"This is a collector's edition. We just happened to be having a promotion today. The mask that originally cost 200,000 points now only costs 100,000 points. It's a great deal."
The waitress said with a smile on her face.
“So expensive?”
Yun Xiaoxi showed a look of surprise on her face.
"It's not expensive. The material used for this mask is a special metal mined from another world. It's very tough! It won't be destroyed like an ordinary mask if you're not careful and don't control your supernatural powers well. It can be used for a long time."
The waitress tried her best to sell it to Yun Xiaoxi.
Shen Qiu said to Yun Xiaoxi with a smile.
"Buy it if you like it."
"No, I won't buy it."
Yun Xiaoxi waved her hands in panic to refuse.
When Shen Qiu saw Yun Xiaoxi's refusal, he immediately felt something was wrong and asked.
“Why not?”
"Well, that..."
Yun Xiaoxi didn't know how to answer Shen Qiu for a moment.
"Wait, what happened to you? You don't have enough points, do you?"
Shen Qiu looked at Yun Xiaoxi in confusion.
"not enough."
Yun Xiaoxi couldn't help but lower her head and said.
Seeing this, Shi Yao, who was standing by, spoke to Yun Xiaoxi.
"One hundred thousand points is indeed a bit expensive. Xiaoxi, I'll make up for how much you're short of."
Shen Qiu raised his hand to interrupt Shi Yao's words and asked Yun Xiaoxi softly.
"Xiao Xi, didn't I give you a lot of points? Did you use them all to strengthen your own genetic level?"
"I strengthened some of them, and used the rest of the points to support my family."
Yun Xiaoxi did not hide it from Shen Qiu, but now she was like a child who had done something wrong, and she kept twitching the fingers of her two hands.
Shen Qiu was stunned for a moment, then asked.
"What is your current genetic level?"
"B-level."
Yun Xiaoxi replied in a low voice.
"well!"
Shen Qiu couldn't help but sigh. With her B-level gene strength, she was only slightly stronger than before. It seemed that she had exchanged most of the points she earned into money for her family.
"Xiao Xi, how can I exchange points for money? That would be a huge loss."
Shi Yao was also surprised and said.
Although points can be exchanged for a huge amount of money, that is a very stupid behavior. The value of the two is not equal at all. This is why Shen Qiu never exchanged them for money no matter how difficult the situation was.
But Yun Xiaoxi cannot be blamed, her family’s current situation is indeed extremely bad.
Mixi City was flooded, and Yun Xiaoxi's family's main business was also buried. Moreover, their main business, tourism and the like, was hit hard.
In addition, many people died and each of them needed compensation, so funding was indeed a big problem.
"sorry."
Yun Xiaoxi lowered her head and apologized to Shen Qiu, not daring to look up at Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu smiled when he saw her like this, then turned and said to the waitress.
“We bought this mask.”
"Really sir? I'll wrap it up for you right away."
The waitress replied in surprise.
"ah?"
Yun Xiaoxi raised her head and looked at Shen Qiu and was slightly stunned.
"Ah, what? This is for you. Next time if you have something to say, just tell me. Don't do such stupid things."
As Shen Qiu spoke, he raised his hand and gently tapped Yun Xiaoxi's little head.
"Woohoo! Got it."
Yun Xiaoxi immediately covered her head.
Shi Yao looked at the intimate actions of Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi, and her eyes moved slightly.
Soon Shen Qiu paid the points with the bracelet and handed the wrapped mask to Yun Xiaoxi, and then the three of them continued to walk into the hall.
Yun Xiaoxi was also very happy holding the box.
Just as they walked a distance inside, they heard shouting from afar.
"Shiyao!"
Shen Qiu and the others stopped and turned to look over.
I saw four young men and women wearing KPI high-end uniforms walking towards me from a distance, and Sun Ji was among them.
However, when he got closer, Sun Ji saw Shen Qiu standing next to Shi Yaosheng, and the smile on his face suddenly froze, and a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes.
"These are my team members, Sun Ji, Cao Zhong, Deng Weiwei, and Zhao Zhu. These two are Shen Qiu and my best friend Yun Xiaoxi."
Shi Yao introduced them to them one by one.
"Wow, Sister Shiyao, you actually know Lord Shen Qiu. Why haven't I heard you mention him before?"
Deng Weiwei said excitedly.
"Yeah, I haven't heard you say that."
Cao Zhong agreed cheerfully.
"It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly later. But I can say this, if it weren't for Shen Qiu, Sun Ji and I would have died in the other world."
Shiyao said with a smile.
"That's not true. Don't say that."
Shen Qiu waved his hands quickly.
Sun Ji felt very uncomfortable when he saw Shi Yao's good attitude towards Shen Qiu. You know, Shi Yao usually talks to them in a very cold tone, so he changed the subject.
"Shiyao, don't you want to buy something? There are so many people gathered over there by the projection screen, there won't be any good seats left later."
"All right."
Shiyao nodded.
So they walked forward.
"Hey, isn't that Shen Qiu?"
“It’s really him.”
…
Along the way, many KPI personnel noticed Shen Qiu and talked about him.
Shen Qiu felt like his head was about to explode. It seemed like he would really have to wear a mask next time.
Just as they walked into the hall, they saw a group of people who were being treated like stars in the crowd.
The most dazzling one among them was Huang Shao Huang Jinshuo, who was dressed very luxuriously and had a cigar in his mouth, giving people a very rich feeling.
In addition, Shen Qiu also saw Wang Chen, who had carried out the mission together in District 8, and the sexy and hot-tempered Hai Lu and others.
This group of people also noticed Shen Qiu approaching.
"Master, isn't that Shen Qiu?"
Pang Ji said with a flattering smile on his face.
"It's really that guy. I heard that guy is doing very well now."
Huang Jinshuo glanced at Shen Qiu and said.
"No matter how awesome you are, can you be as awesome as me? You have always been the number one in the rankings. I heard that Shen Qiu was quite wealthy, but he must have spent all the money he bought."
Pang Ji kept flattering Huang Jinshuo.
"I like to hear that."
Huang Jinshuo said with narrowed eyes.
Wang Chen looked at Shen Qiu with a frown on his face.
"Humph, it's that kid Shen Qiu."
Zhu Qi said unhappily.
"Seeing him is definitely not a good thing."
Yang He followed suit.
They subjectively disliked Shen Qiu, and the reason was very simple. They had originally accepted the mission to protect Qi Lin.
As a result, this guy suddenly got in the way and I heard that he has a very good relationship with Qi Lin now.
You know, that was originally their opportunity.
Hai Lu looked at Shen Qiu with interest and spoke.
"Although I don't like him, I have to admit that he is no longer the same as before! I heard that not long ago, a man killed the Ten Evils and the elders of the Defeat Cult."
"Okay, stop talking. It has nothing to do with us."
Wang Chen interrupted the team member.
Hai Lu and others saw that Wang Chen's face was not very good, so they kept silent.
At this time, Xia Lan, the captain of the Seventh Detachment, who was checking the equipment, walked towards Shen Qiu and greeted him with a smile on her face.
"Isn't this Shen Qiu?"
"Who are you?"
Shen Qiu looked at the woman in front of him and felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where she was.
"It's so sad, I know you but you don't know me."
Xia Lan said jokingly.
Yun Xiaoxi quickly introduced him to Shen Qiu.
"Shen Qiu, this is Captain Xia Lan of the Seventh Detachment."
"Excuse me, hello."
Shen Qiu apologized, but smiled bitterly in his heart. What the hell? Everyone is so enthusiastic.
At this time, people around were looking at Shen Qiu and gossiping about him.
"It's Shen Qiu!"
"That guy is really awesome now. Look how many people greet him."
"I remember that he seemed to be a non-staff member. Why didn't he get promoted? Could it be that he didn't have enough merits?"
"How is that possible? How many missions has he participated in? If nothing else, just killing two high-ranking defeated cultists would be enough to earn him a promotion."
"Then why don't you become a regular employee?"
"It's not clear. Either he doesn't want to transfer, or he might offend someone."
"Offended someone? What level of important person did he offend?"
"Who knows? That's not something we can get involved in. But it doesn't matter whether he gets promoted or not. Look, Captain Xia Lan of Team 7 had to go up and say hello in person. How honorable."
"It's true that comparison makes people angry. Normally speaking, our status is higher than theirs."
"Then do you have the same treatment as others?"
"Yeah, that's right. Then we can go over and say hello and make ourselves familiar with each other."
"That's a good idea. Once you get to know each other, you may become friends."
…
Soon more and more people came up to greet Shen Qiu.
Sun Ji and others were immediately squeezed out.
"Wow, Shen Qiu is so popular. It's true that no matter where a strong person goes, he will always attract everyone's attention!"
Deng Weiwei said with some admiration.
"Humph, what's so great about that? He just looks stronger now. Can he compare to Team Zero? You should know that Team Zero was very powerful a long time ago, but he has been in another world and has not returned. And the top masters of the major families have not returned either. If they all came back, he probably wouldn't even be ranked. At best, he would just be stronger."
Sun Ji complained dissatisfiedly.
"Sun Ji, it's not a good idea to say that."
Deng said after a slight hesitation.
"What's wrong with that? I'm just telling the truth."
Sun Ji said disdainfully.
"Sun Ji, don't talk nonsense."
Shi Yao just stepped out of the crowd at this time. When she heard Sun Ji's words, she said coldly.
"Okay, Shiyao, I won't say anything more. You want to buy some equipment, right? Take a look and see if there's anything you like. If you don't have enough points, I can get you some."
Sun Ji tried hard to please Shi Yao.
"No need, I have my own points. You should use your points to strengthen yourself. A good ironmaker must have strong tools himself."
Shi Yao rejected Sun Ji coldly.
When Sun Ji heard Shi Yao's words, he felt it was extremely harsh, as if she was saying that he was not as good as Shen Qiu.
However, he suppressed his anger, forced a smile and said.
"good."
…
At this time Huang Jinshuo walked towards Shen Qiu, and Pang Ji shouted in a servile manner.
"Make way! Make way for our Young Master Huang."
When everyone at the scene saw that it was Huang Jinshuo coming, they all made way for him, because this was a local rich man who could not be offended.
