At five o'clock the next morning, the restaurant closed on time.
When Qin Ran took back the small blackboard that served as a signboard, Li Jiajia, who had studied hard and worked hard all night, immediately went upstairs with a yawn.
Mimosa is still busy in the kitchen.
Fresh-keeping boxes fell behind neatly one by one, and Mimosa carefully put a portion of semi-finished food into it, and then wrapped it with plastic wrap.
Of course, that's not all.
On one side of the kitchen counter, processed beef jerky and bags of dehydrated vegetables have already been packed.
According to the time, Mimosa made all kinds of food that can be eaten directly, heated and eaten, and stored for a long time.
Qin Ran glanced at the busy Mimosa, and exited the kitchen without making a sound.
He sat back in his chair and took out the 4 Jindu coins he just got.
After he let go of the restraint on the source power in his body, the golden radiance on Jin Du's money immediately bloomed unscrupulously, or, more precisely, it was 'sucked' out.
The cheers of 'gluttony' were still echoing in Kieran's ears, and Kieran once again saw the chains coming from the void—
Black, small, still densely bound on his torso and limbs.
The transparent, hair-like chains submerge into his head.
It's no different than before.
Even the chains that are looming around are the same.
The same goes for the breaking of chains.
Click!
Ka Ka Ka!
The transparent chains broke first, followed by those black chains, and at the moment the black chains broke, the moment the restraining force was slightly reduced, Kieran saw the opportunity and suddenly reached out to grab the chains that were looming around him. .
Hurrah!
The sound of chains.
The black chain that restrained Qin Ran made a series of noises under Qin Ran's actions, but the most intense sound was the chain that Qin Ran was holding.
The entire chain seemed to be alive, struggling in Kieran's hands, and kept flickering on and off, like a flickering lamp.
hard.
cold.
Inexplicable disgust.
It poured into Qin Ran's heart almost instantly, making Qin Ran subconsciously want to break the chain, but the hardness of this chain was far beyond Qin Ran's imagination.
Under his power, he didn't move at all, and Kieran felt an extremely strong sense of danger in his heart.
There seemed no hesitation.
Qin Ran let go immediately.
Hurrah!
The chain disappeared with a characteristic sound.
The rest of the chains also disappeared one after another, and Kieran's vision returned to the bar of the restaurant again.
"That sense of danger... what is it?"
Qin Ran subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
He believed in his intuition very much. Not only was he born with a strong mind, but also because of countless battles, he developed a sixth sense that ordinary people did not have.
Especially in the face of danger, it is more sensitive than wild animals.
Just like just now.
When he wanted to break the chain, a life-and-death crisis appeared in his heart, as if a sharp knife had been pressed against his chest.
The sharpness and stinging pain made Qin Ran feel like a stick in his throat.
However, Qin Ran did not panic.
He has long been used to this situation of hovering on the edge of danger.
I am more used to how to deal with such things: calm down!
Sometimes, calm is more important than strength.
For example: Qin Ran, who is calm at the moment, knows exactly what he needs.
"Need more Jindu money!"
Qin Ran looked down at the rotten money in his hand.
Not only did he need to observe those special chains more carefully in that situation, but also because he needed to untie more shackles.

…
Feeling his own body at this moment, Kieran once again used the breathing method of [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique] to let himself adapt quickly.
After two breaths, Kieran opened his eyes.
He didn't stand up, but kept a sitting posture, and also used the method of [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique] to perceive the changes in his body.
After confirming that he could use his arms and fingers, Kieran began to check his equipment and props.
Although he carries it with him at all times, Kieran is used to tidying up his equipment and props when doing some important things.
This is not only a process of sorting out equipment and props, but also a process for Qin Ran to check himself for omissions.
Not just equipment and props.
besides…
So many plans.
[Sharp Standard Sword] hung on his waist.
[Akka Blade (fragment)] was hidden in the sleeve by Kieran because of its length.
Both [Godo's Chains] are worn on the left hand, together with the [Ring of the Vicious Dog].
That [Healing Potion] Qin Ran kept close to him with the [Sage's Stone (Fragment)].
After the [Bracelet of Storing Souls] was emptied of souls, Qin Ran wore it on his left hand. Although he doesn't know how to raise souls, it is also a good choice to serve as a wristband.
When Qin Ran confirmed that everything was clean, the curtain of the kitchen was raised.
Mimosa struggled to push a huge backpack out.
This backpack is as tall as a person when placed on the ground, and its width requires two adults to stretch their arms to hug it. If the kitchen door is not big enough, it will not be able to get out at all.
As soon as Qin Ran raised his hand, he picked up his backpack and put it outside the bar.
Then he turned around and looked at the mimosa.
"Temporarily closed for a few days."
"I kept 'Vicious Dogs' around."
"There are also high-ranking evil spirits who are always paying attention to the surroundings."
"Whitrick will send Bain and another herder to watch here 24 hours a day."
Qin Ran exhorted.
"Um."
"knew."
Mimosa nodded obediently.
Mimosa, who knew she couldn't help, would not shout words like "Let's go together" that would only add to Qin Ran's confusion. Mimosa knew clearly that listening to Qin Ran was the best.
Qin Ran raised his hand and touched the top of Mimosa's head.
"I am leaving."
After speaking, Qin Ran turned and left.
When Qin Ran pushed open the door, a ray of sunrise happened to appear in the sky.
The rising sun scattered on Qin Ran's body, dyeing the black with gold.
Waitrek, who had been waiting for a long time, first took a surprised look at the huge backpack, then pointed to the car outside, showing a wry smile.
Obviously, this backpack can't fit in at all.
"Hold on."
Waitrek said, and stepped aside to make a phone call.
About ten minutes later, a pickup truck drove up.
Qin Ran declined Waitrick's invitation to sit in the car, and he just sat in the back slot with his backpack in his hand, with his back leaning against the car's rear window, facing the restaurant's gate.
Amidst the roar of car motors, the gate of the restaurant was getting further and further away.
Eventually, it becomes blurred.
And just as he was about to disappear, Qin Ran clearly saw a figure walking out, raised his arms high, and waved at him.
That familiar voice came with the wind—
"come back earlier!"
"I'll make a meal and wait for you!"
The corner of Qin Ran's mouth curled up.
He didn't answer loudly, but said softly: "Wait for me."
Qin Ran knew that Mimosa couldn't hear such whispers.
But he knew that Mimosa would prepare a lot of food for him to come back.
so…
He has to come back as quickly as possible!
Can't keep the mimosa waiting.
…
The pickup stopped and went in the urban area, but after leaving the urban area, it was like a wild horse that had run wild, and quickly drove in one direction.
There are fewer and fewer buildings in urbanization.
Farmland and forests became the theme.
When the asphalt road became potholed and a camp appeared ahead, the pickup slowed down.
Waitrek pushed open the door and got out.
"I can only send you here."
"Next, you have to be careful."
"Remember, if it doesn't work, just give up."
Waitrek paused, then said.
"Um."
Qin Ran nodded.
Waitrick looked at Qin Ran who looked like this and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak, he just said, "Come with me."
Saying that, Waitrek was the first to walk towards the temporary camp.
The shepherds guarding outside the camp were obviously familiar with Waitrek. Not only did they hug each other when they met, but they were also very warm to Qin Ran.
"I'm Delifen, an old friend of this fellow's."
"You need to follow me for the next trip."
The tall, strong, and gray-haired Dai Lifen said with a smile.
"Luo Yan."
Facing the enthusiastic opponent, Qin Ran gave out his alias in response.
"Nice name."
"Hopefully the name will shine in 'Winter Night'."
"Okay, my old friend, although this is just a transit station, it's impossible for you to enter—these young eagles, only if you let go, can they really spread their wings and soar!"
After smiling at Kieran again, Dai Lifen gestured to Waitrek.
"Be careful."
After Waitrek gave Qin Ran another word, he turned and left.
Qin Ran glanced at the far away split, and his eyes fell on Dai Lifen in front of him.
"Take it easy."
"Not yet."
"Need me to show you around this camp?"
Delphine laughed.
"No."
"I can do it myself."
"However, is there a place where you can't set foot here?"
Qin Ran shook his head, rejecting the other party's offer.
The camp in front of him was only the size of a football field. Although it was covered by many tents, Kieran still took a quick look at it.
There is absolutely no need for someone to lead the way, or accept it.
Of course, you still have to ask about some things that you are afraid of.
It wasn't that Qin Ran was worried about causing trouble.
Instead, I was worried about the impact on the 'Winter Night War' due to unnecessary troubles.
"No!"
"It's all you young men from 'Winter Night' who are here."
"If there are any friends of yours here, you can go to them."
"If not, you can find an empty tent by yourself, or set up a tent to rest."
"When the time comes, I will let everyone know."
Delphine replied.
Kieran nodded to express his understanding, and then walked towards a corner of the camp with his huge backpack on his back.
He has no friends here.
As for temporarily win over a group of people
It was hard to believe that Qin Ran, who was a stranger, would not do such a thing.
Pulling out the rainproof cloth covering the backpack, one end was still connected to the backpack, and the other end was hung on the fence on one side, and then, Kieran sat down directly under it.
Simple to the extreme 'tent'.
Mimosa had suggested bringing a real tent, but Kieran insisted that this would be enough.
With that space, it would be better to pack a little more food.
The sun gradually rose, and when it came to the very center of the sky, Dai Lifen stood at the gate of the camp and shouted: "Dinner is ready!"
Immediately, the camp that had been keeping quiet all the time suddenly became noisy.
One by one, representatives of the herdsmen got out of their respective tents.
There are men and women.
Tall, short, fat and thin are different.
Dress up is also very strange.
Some, like Qin Ran, were dressed in casual clothes.
Some are robes, strong clothes, and leather armor.
The other one was even more bare-chested, wearing a bearskin, and the huge bear head was put on his head like a hat, which was very eye-catching.
The special attire made Qin Ran take another look at the other party.
The other party was completely unaware.
In other words, this person has already set his sights on those foods.
Dai Lifen prepared enough food.
A tub-like vegetable bowl was filled with half-fried and half-cooked vegetables and potatoes, and another equally large bowl was filled with rice.
It wasn't the food that was the draw, though.
It was ten translucent lunch boxes placed on a trolley behind Dai Lifen.
These lunch boxes are huge, the size of a soup bowl, and are divided into ten grids. Each grid contains different foods, ranging from fried chicken legs, boiled beef, to shrimps and crabs.
The colors are bright and very attractive.
Moreover, with the two large pots in front, these already well-made foods are even more attractive.
"Eating is still the original old rules."
"Let me explain to the newcomers."
"Eat whatever is in these two big pots."
"There are ten lunch boxes in the back, you need to find a way by yourself."
"You can spend money to buy everyone."
"It's better to put everyone down."
"Or just take advantage of the chaos and grab a copy."
"As long as you can do it, the food in these lunch boxes is yours, but you are not allowed to kill anyone, otherwise you will have nothing to eat, and you will lose the qualification for the 'Winter Night War'."
"Now… "
"start!"
Start with a bang.
The representatives of the herdsmen, who were already ready to move, all rushed forward.
Only Qin Ran sat there without moving.
Kieran has never been picky about food.
But why would he eat someone else's if there's food made from mimosas
Moreover, it is the level of excellent workmanship in the ordinary level.
Compared to mimosas
Do not make jokes.
No comparison at all.
Of course, Qin Ran also guessed what the other party wanted to do, it was nothing more than giving the representatives of the herdsmen participating in the 'Winter Night Battle' a chance to get to know each other.
Knowing this well, Qin Ran watched the representatives of the grazers fighting with great interest.
Among them, the man in bearskin is the most conspicuous.
As soon as he raised his hand, he overturned several opponents who were fighting for it. He let the attacks of the people around him fall on him, and he raised his hand and grabbed a lunch box regardless.
"That's Lucan, the representative of the Northland Forest. He is very powerful and can eat. Almost one person can eat three parts of others."
"Of course, the other young people are also very good."
“They are all very edible!”
"are you not hungry?"
"If you don't hurry, there will be no good food."
Dai Lifen walked in front of Qin Ran, emphasizing the pronunciation of 'can eat'.
"tasty?"
Qin Ran smiled.
He reached into the backpack beside him and took out an insulated box prepared by Mimosa.
Then, slowly opened the lid of the box.
A strong fragrance instantly hit all directions.
Suddenly, the surroundings became silent, and everyone's eyes were on here.
Under everyone's gaze, Qin Ran picked up the chopsticks unhurriedly.
