Chapter Forty-Eight: Appearing Out of Thin Air
"How?"
When Qin Ran pushed the door out, Edberg, who was standing at the door, couldn't wait to ask.
"Not bad."
Qin Ran replied like this, but his eyes looked at Professor Smith.
Although there was a door blocking it before, for Qin Ran, who had sensed the level, he knew exactly what was happening in the hall of the house.
The professor living on the edge of Section E in front of him was far more mysterious than he had imagined.
Whether it was the other party's research or the other party's strength, they were all telling Qin Ran this.
In the face of Qin Ran's gaze, Professor Smith was still leaning on the sofa motionless, holding the wine jug, just like those drunks who fell drunk on the street.
Obviously, the other party didn't care about such a gaze.
Qin Ran withdrew his gaze.
Even if the other party shows something extraordinary, the other party's attitude says it all.
With Qin Ran's character, he will never do anything that is tiring and thankless.
Therefore, after nodding to Edberg, Qin Ran walked out, but when he was about to leave this house, he couldn't help but glance at the room on the left side of the hall corridor.
Although this place is full of the fragrance of fruits and vegetables, and the smell of barbecue is completely masked, ordinary people can't smell the slightest hint of grease at all, but in Qin Ran's nose, it is becoming clearer and clearer.
It's a pity I don't know what kind of food it is.
Qin Ran, who had such a thought in his heart, was about to take another step, but at this time, a Smith who was slumped on the sofa suddenly spoke.
"What do you smell?"
Sitting up, Smith folded his hands on his knees, his neck forward, his head tilted, and his cloudy eyes filled with a hint of scrutiny.
"2567 thinks about it and then answers!"
Without waiting for Qin Ran to speak, Edberg said hurriedly.
He knew very well that although his best friend said things like ordinary and good, he greatly appreciated the freshman chief in his heart.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have opened my mouth at this time.
And that's an opportunity!
A fantastic, great opportunity!
He hoped that Qin Ran would be able to grasp it!
"The smell of oil."
Qin Ran paused for a moment and replied lightly.
"Not bad."
"I'm missing an assistant."
"Tomorrow you can come here to help."
Smith nodded, then said.
"Not interested."
After Qin Ran finished saying this, he turned around and walked out.
Edberg looked at Qin Ran in astonishment.
He didn't understand why Qin Ran would give up such a good opportunity, and Smith was also a little surprised, but he immediately laughed.
"Funny little ghost."
Smith laughed as he twisted the flask, gulped it down a few times, and then curled up in the couch and snored.
Edberg didn't persuade his best friend anymore, he quickly caught up with Qin Ran who was waiting next to the car.
"Why didn't you say yes?"
Edberg asked angrily.
"Why should I say yes?"
Qin Ran asked rhetorically in a calm tone.
Facing the calm Qin Ran, Edberg was stunned.
"Do you know how many opportunities you've given up that people can't think of!"
Taking a deep breath, Edberg still couldn't hide his excitement.
"That's someone else, not me."
"Just because someone else wants it doesn't mean I want it too."
"I know what I want."
Qin Ran said as he pulled the car door and sat in the co-pilot's seat, leaning in the seat and closing his eyes.
Looking at Qin Ran's appearance, Edberg was stunned for two or three seconds, and then shook his head and sighed and sat in the cab.
Why does he always encounter such freaks?
With doubts in his heart, Edberg started the car.
At night, the headlights illuminate the road at the edge of the E zone.
Unlike the bustling area in the center of Area E, most of the trees and fields are located on the edge, and although there are asphalt roads, there are no street lights or other facilities.
Qin Ran, who was leaning on his seat, opened his eyes slightly, and after glancing at the wooden house that was getting farther and farther away, he closed them again.
There is no doubt that Smith has a great secret in him.
If he didn't have the plan he had been laying out for a long time, he would have stayed.
As for a two-pronged approach?
Qin Ran is not a person who is arrogant.
In the same way, he will not be arrogant.
As an assistant to a professor, especially an assistant to a professor with an eccentric personality like Smith, coupled with the other party's intention to be tempted, it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will be strong, and even, it is very likely that the other party will see something.
And abandon this plan?
Qin Ran knew very well what kind of gains this plan would bring him if it was successful.
Exchanging the known great gains for the unknown, uncertain gains.
Qin Ran's cautious personality made him choose the former.
……
Before going to the apartment, the car stopped steadily.
After Qin Ran got out of the car, Edberg rolled down the window and handed out the paper bag that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Lunch prepared for you, but now it can only be served as dinner, meat buns and braised beef."
"It's cold, but it's better than nothing."
Edberg said.
"Thank you."
After Qin Ran took the paper bag, he thanked him very politely.
"There's no vigor at all, rigid imp!"
As he spoke, Edberg slapped the steering wheel and headed in the direction of the cafeteria.
Qin Ran watched the other party's car completely disappear into the night, and then walked towards the apartment, when he sensed a familiar aura, the corners of Qin Ran's mouth curled.
Then, with a smile in his face, he walked to his apartment as usual.
Garcia, who was anxiously waiting at the door of Qin Ran's room, saw Qin Ran's eyes light up immediately after seeing him come back, but the other party still endured his anxiety and greeted Qin Ran first.
"Good evening, 2567."
"Good evening."
Qin Ran's polite response was different from the politeness with Edberg before, and the politeness at this time was more like a literal meaning, with a slight sense of alienation.
Moreover, after that, Qin Ran had no intention of continuing to speak, nor did he mean to invite the other party into the room, so he looked at the other party indifferently.
Garcia's stereotyped face showed a hint of helplessness.
He really didn't want to deal with someone like Qin Ran.
is not only eccentric in character, but also because the other party's baht must be compared.
But at the thought of "Guan Shilu", this fourth-grader, who represented a certain professor, immediately took a deep breath.
"Your conditions, we agreed."
"But you've got to make sure we catch Ruud."
Garcia said in a deep voice.
On top of paying a meal-level food, even if it was only half of it, giving a meal-level food, even the professor behind him felt a struggle.
Therefore, he must have certain guarantees.
It wasn't what the professor commanded, but it was something the professor was happy to see.
And he exists to do such things.
"I can't make such a guarantee!"
"It's like I gave you the most accurate information before, but you still failed."
"Ruud is far more cunning and powerful than you think."
Qin Ran shook his head very dryly, and then prepared to open the door.
"Wait!"
"We need at least a more comprehensive picture of Ruud."
Garcia knew very well that once Qin Ran pushed open the door, it meant that this conversation was over, and he didn't want the conversation to end until he got the desired result.
"This information is what this deal is about."
"When you finish your last deal with me, we'll talk about this deal."
Qin Ran brought up the old matter again.
"What's in this deal?"
This time, the fourth graders were a little surprised.
"Of course."
"Otherwise, why do you think this information will be worth a meal-level meal?"
Qin Ran nodded.
And looking at Qin Ran, who nodded, for a moment, the fourth-grader thought of more.
Every idea unconsciously perfects 'Ruud'.
With this refinement, some uneasiness welled up in the back of the fourth grader's heart.
He thought of something bad.
If it was really as he suspected......
"When you've thought about it, you can come to me."
Qin Ran interrupted the other party's thinking and prepared to open the door again.
"Let's trade right away!"
The thought in his heart made Garcia not hesitate any longer, and the other party said very simply.
"I need to get paid for me."
Qin Ran emphasized.
"No problem!"
"Please wait a moment, I'll arrange it right away!"
With that, Garcia walked briskly towards the stairwell.
Qin Ran looked at the other party's back, took out the school emblem, and opened the apartment door.
Everything was as he expected, the fourth-grader was not only very good at seizing the moment, but also did not hesitate, especially when some thoughts came to his heart to make him feel uneasy, and the other party was more accustomed to solving the problem in a quick way.
This is the reason why Qin Ran chose the other party and did not choose the middle-aged Davide.
Although the latter is a little lacking in ability, and it is difficult for the hesitation in his personality to become a big thing, it is also difficult to make big mistakes.
The fourth-grader in front of me may be easy to excel and make great achievements, but in the same way, once you make a mistake, it is a big mistake.
Bite!
The apartment's built-in electric steamer made a crunching sound.
The aroma of the meat bun and the braised beef came to his face as the cabinet door opened, Qin Ran couldn't help but take a breath, the rich aroma of the beef and the aroma of the flour made his index finger move, but what surprised Qin Ran the most was that the soup in the meat bun was extremely delicious.
"Shrimp and crab roe?"
Qin Ran savored the taste, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
Five steamed buns and a piece of braised beef, which was two catties long, were swallowed by Qin Ran, and they were all wiped out in less than ten minutes.
Picking up the water cup on the side, Qin Ran drank it all.
"It's a pity there is no soup."
"Even if it's just an egg soup, it's a lot more perfect."
Qin Ran muttered to himself in a low voice, and then walked towards the door.
He had already heard Garcia's footsteps.
Of course, it's not just Garcia, it's five people.
Even if he didn't see those five people, in Qin Ran's perception, these five people exuded a fierce aura, maybe a little worse than Edberg, but they surpassed a teacher like Senior.
Obviously, the other party is very careful about escorting a meal-level food.
There is no shortage of people who take risks at any time and in any place.
Not to mention Teorit's night.
Qin Ran could clearly tell that there were at least twenty people following Garcia's team, if it weren't for the estimation of the strength of the escort, I am afraid that he would have made a move at this time.
Before Garcia knocked on the door, Qin Ran opened the door first.
Garcia was not surprised, the fourth-grader turned around, took a metal box that was held in the hands of his entourage, completely sealed, and only left a glass window on the top, and handed it to Qin Ran.
"Meal-level food 'Golden Cake'!"
Garcia said.
In fact, there was no need for the other party to explain, when Qin Ran took the sealed box and looked at this meal-level food through the glass window, lines of text appeared in front of his eyes.
[Name:Golden Cake (Imitation)]
【Category: Food】
【Quality:1】
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attribute: Golden Gift (Broken)]
[Special Effect: None]
[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]
[Note: In that golden age, people's love for the golden cake is undoubted, not only because of its taste, but also because of the direct benefits it brings. 】
……
[Golden Gift (Defective): Complete and improve physical attributes]
……
(Note: When food leaves the locker, its quality deteriorates over time.) )
……
Different from the first time he came into contact with the huge fried chicken thigh, the meal-level food in front of him was displayed more clearly in front of Qin Ran in the form of words.
"Is it too long?"
Qin Ran guessed that the first meal-level food did not appear because of the systematic explanation.
At the same time, he resisted the urge to open the sealed box and eat the [Golden Cake], but took out the school emblem.
"Sign a new notarial deed."
Qin Ran said.
Garcia did not object.
In other words, Garcia, who has lived in Teorit for four years, has long been accustomed to using Teorret's rules.
After everything was finished, Qin Ran took out a pen and paper.
Garcia immediately motioned to the five people who accompanied him.
Suddenly, the five people quickly dispersed, each performing their duties, some blocking the monitoring, and some guarding in front of the stairwell.
And Garcia's eyes were completely on Qin Ran in the writing.
Of them, he already knew most of them, but the fourth grader didn't rush them, and soon, he saw things he didn't know.
"Hill. Stream? ”
"Dark?!"
"The Hill Sect actually has the existence of the Dark Sect!"
"And Ruud turned out to be from Hill. Stream?! ”
Unconsciously, Garcia's gaze showed shock.
Sensing Garcia's shocked gaze, Qin Ran smiled in his heart, most of the things he wrote were true, they were derived from the real life of that Rude, and a small part was 'processed' by him, such as the so-called 'Hill. Stream'.
Although there are theories about light and dark and inner streams in the genre, they are all really hidden genres, and the Hill school is not among them.
Qin Ran knew this very well.
So......
He's going to make 'Hill. 'Inside' appeared.
