Chapter 468 Traveling Frog Robbery Version
The popularity of the hair growth cake even exceeded Ma Lu''s expectations. After it was put on the shelves, not only did more people line up outside the store, but in just three days, the number of registered people in Chiling exceeded 10,000, and the highest number of people online once exceeded 4 Thousands of people.
To commemorate this historic moment, all the staff of the Chiling project team, led by the producer Tu Tuozi, came to the Universe Infinite Canteen for team building that night and contributed 8,000 star coins.
??Ma Lu also made a point of observing Teacher Bei Gongmeng, who was stabbed through the heart and brutally cut in half the last time he went there, and found that not only did he appear, but he was also alive and kicking, shouting and toasting everywhere.
After drinking too much, I still wanted to get closer to Coconut Milk Jelly, but I was frightened by Coconut Milk Jelly’s look and sat back down.
??Okay, this guy seemed to be fine. Ma Lu was suddenly a little curious about what Bei Gongmeng''s true form was, and how he could be so tough.
?In addition to the Chiling project team, Malu also received eight other tables of special guests sporadically this week. In the end, the total income was 12,123 star coins, and two of them even took the initiative to call and book.
?This shows that the reputation of the Universe Infinite Canteen has gradually spread among visitors from the alien plane. If this continues, there should be no problem in paying off the money owed to Yanwu within the agreed time.
Not to mention that Malu is actively expanding its customer base and has signed catering contracts with those dimensional pirates through Lao Hei.
?This week, Lao Hei has moved 3,000 kilograms of bacon and 4,000 kilograms of ham from him, plus 2,000 butter buns and 2,000 croissants, and handed these things over to the dimensional pirates.
?According to Lao Hei, the dimensional pirates were very happy after receiving the supplies. The morale of the entire ship was high and they set out to work overnight.
I don’t know what good things they can bring back when they come back.
?Ma Lu felt like he was playing a popular mini-game called Traveling Frog back then, but it was just a robbery version.
A week has passed like this, and in a blink of an eye it’s time to set off.
With the insect eggs on his head, he soon returned to Yuchang County.
??Ma Lu originally thought that the Beggar Clan and Tianlongmen would have been killed in a **** battle, but he did not expect that the two sides were actually playing tricks on each other. They had been calling for a war three weeks ago, and now there are only sporadic local conflicts.
??The most sensational thing that happened during this period was the sudden death of the seven masters who came to help last week. However, after being tense for so long, both of them had basically reached their limit, and the voices of the warring faction began to take the initiative.
?According to Qing Yi’s care, today should be the deadline. The beggar gang would take action at sunset. Chu Qianyuan even sent someone over to tell her not to go out at night.
“In addition, Geng Laoliu did not return to the city after leaving Wohu Gang that day. Some people said that they saw him heading towards Heyin County.”
??Gu Qingyi said, "But I went to Heyin County and couldn''t find him. I plan to ask his relatives and friends to see where he is hiding."
“There’s no need to ask,” Ma Lu said, shaking his head. “Geng Laoliu is probably just a bait put out by the mastermind behind the scenes to attract our attention and make us exhausted.
"Even if we can find him, he will probably be speechless like Qin Feng. Since the mastermind behind the scenes knows that we are pursuing Liu Huozui, he will definitely make arrangements in advance, so how can he stay? Really useful clues for us.
"In Qingzhou, especially in the territory of Yuchang County, it is impossible for our strength to match his."
"Then what should we do, just watch the Beggar Clan and Tianlongmen fight to the death?" Gu Qingyi was a little unwilling, "Wouldn''t that be what he wanted?"
"We must investigate, but we can no longer let him lead us by the nose." Ma Lu thought of what Han Guangzhong said that day and paused.
“We were originally looking for the whereabouts of the lotus bowl, but after being interrupted by Cai Die, our attention was diverted to finding out who was behind the scenes.”
"I think we should ignore the mastermind for the time being and continue looking for the bowl." This time it was Gu Qingyi''s turn to shake his head, "Almost everyone in Yuchang County has been looking for the lotus bowl during this period, but no one has found it yet. . The bowl is probably hidden by the person behind it. If the person behind it is not caught, the lotus bowl will not be found. "
“I think the lotus bowl is not in the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes.”
Ma Lu touched his chin and said, "That guy obviously wants to provoke a war between the Beggar Clan and Tianlongmen. If he knows the whereabouts of the lotus bowl, he can just secretly send the bowl to Tianlongmen, find a place to hide it, and then let the beggars know the whereabouts of the lotus bowl." When the helper found someone and got the stolen goods together, the two sides had already started fighting.
"The only reason why he didn''t do this is that he didn''t know where the bowl went."
“Ah, but besides him, who else would steal the lotus bowl?” Gu Qingyi frowned.
??The Lotus Bowl was left behind by the founder of the Beggar Clan. It is of great significance to the Beggar Clan disciples. However, since it is not made of gold, it is just a broken bowl if left outside. Even if you give it away, no one may want it.
Logically speaking, ordinary thieves would not steal such things.
Ma Lu said, "The Beggar Clan disciple who stole the bowl mentioned that he was forced to steal the bowl by the people from Happy Forest. Come on, let''s go to Happy Forest and ask."
Because Ma Lu has masters on both sides, both the Beggar Clan and Tianlongmen are very polite to him. He is probably the only person in Yuchang County who can pass freely on both sides.
??The disciple guarding the gate outside Happy Forest saw him and immediately went in to inform him. It didn''t take long for Malu to see the beautiful woman he had seen before.
It’s just that the latter has now changed into a smart outfit, which outlines her curves more and more clearly, and she is also holding two Emei thorns in her hands.
“Mrs. Yin.”
"Ma Shaoxia, Gu Shendu, the war is about to begin. Now is not a good time to come for a visit. Be careful of those beggars who think they are one of us and block you in." Lady Yin said.
“We are here to ask you something urgent.”
"What''s up?"
“Did a famous Beggar Clan disciple gamble with you before and owe a lot of debt?”
Mrs. Yin raised her eyebrows, "The beggars from the Beggar Clan have asked me many times, and I have answered them many times. Yes, Happy Forest is a place where people can find happiness. As long as you have money. , no matter who you are, you can come here and have fun.
“Beggars’ disciples are also human beings, and they also want to find happiness, but when it comes to gambling, you win if you lose, and most people lose more than they win. It’s normal for them to end up gambling and owe money.
"But I am running a gambling house, not a porridge factory. We will also evaluate if someone borrows money. We will only lend money if we confirm that he can afford it, has something valuable with him, or that his family and friends can afford it. Give it to him."
“Then how much is a lotus bowl worth in Madam Yin’s opinion?”
Mrs. Yin shook her head, "I''m not a fool. Of course I know what I can and can''t accept. I asked the dealer and accountant that day. Happy Forest didn''t lend money to that Beggar Clan disciple, but..."
“But what?”
“He did gamble a lot that day and lost a lot of money.”
