Chapter 12: New Delhi
Just a few minutes earlier, when Hunter had followed the man out of the bar to meet Borg, he suddenly realized that the direction they were walking was not to Borg.
He didn't think much about it at the time, he just thought that Borg was not on the original side today, so he casually asked the other party how Borg had changed places.
Who knew that as soon as he asked this question, the other party suddenly dragged him into this alley, and then dragged him by the hair and smashed his face against the wall, smashing again and again.
This guy's strength is amazing, it's like a humanoid brute bear, and he has no room to resist at all.
"A week ago, you robbed an antique shop on Welling Avenue." The mysterious man slowly squatted down, his tone calm, "Where did you hide those antiques you stolen?" ”
This mysterious person is naturally Chen Xiu.
After hearing Chen Xiu's question, Hunter, who was already a little delirious, only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.
Damn "antiques" again!
Hunter hated it so much, it can be said that he has been so unlucky during this time, completely because of those "antiques".
Some time ago, in order to repay Borg's loan shark, he took a risk to get a black gun and robbed the antique shop on Welling Avenue.
He was quite happy to have successfully snatched a lot of things from the antique store, thinking that he would be able to repay the Borg's money, but he didn't expect that those things were basically fakes, and the few real goods were all worthless rubbish.
All of them add up and aren't even worth 300 dalles.
Hunter was almost mad.
Because when he was touching the antique shop a few days ago, he was fooled by the dead old man, and spent more than 200 doles on him at that time to buy a snuff box that is said to have a long history......
The original plan to repay the Borg money with these things naturally failed, and the Borg people came to the door and beat him violently, and finally Borg cut off his kidney and sold it on the black market to pay off the debt.
In order to save his kidney, Hunter had to agree to another condition for Borg, and went to the territory of Borg's rival gang to sell goods for him.
Once caught by the members of the Borg's rival gang, the fate is naturally conceivable.
It can be said that he has spent every day in fear for this period of time.
Hunter thought he was unlucky enough, but he didn't expect to meet such a strange person again today, and beat himself half to death for those things.
"Those are worthless fakes......"
Hunter wanted to cry without tears.
"I know." Chen Xiu said coldly: "Where are the things?" ”
I know you're still so ruthless!?
Hunter was full of anger and didn't dare to vent, so he hurriedly said: "I have always kept things at home, if you want, just take them all." ”
He couldn't help but be a little glad that he hadn't thrown those things away, otherwise he might have suffered some kind of crime.
Without Chen Xiu's questioning, Hunter consciously explained where he lived now.
When Chen Xiu got this information, he knocked Hunter unconscious and left the alley with the key to Hunter's rent.
Half an hour later, he went into Hunter's rental room and found the things.
Hunter didn't snatch much, only 9 in total, because there were so many of them that Old Man Charling had on the counter.
Subtracting the 3 pieces that were picked up by Chen Xiu, there were only 6 pieces that were brought back.
These 6 brake coins all contain experience points, but what makes Chen Xiu strange is that the experience points in these brake coins are more or less, the more is 7 experience points, and the less is only 3 points.
In total, he only gained 31 XP.
That's a bit wrong.
Chen Xiu didn't know what was going on, he was about to leave directly after absorbing the experience, but after looking at the other things, he hesitated, and still didn't leave directly.
He tried everything he had left.
Surprisingly, he actually absorbed experience points.
One is a ruby-encrusted wrench that grants 3 XP, and one is a silver earring that grants 8 XP, for a total of 11 XP for the two items.
Now his current experience is 123/137 and his available experience is 48.
Chen Xiu suddenly sighed lightly and discovered something.
That's the amount of experience that these two things provide, which is exactly what the Brake Coins lack.
With the addition of these 12 XP, the average XP per Shamo Coin is exactly 7.
"Is it a coincidence? Or ......"
Chen Xiu thought about it a lot.
……
The next day, Chen Xiu woke up at eight o'clock, more than two or three hours later than usual, and he got up so late because he slept too late.
Emily was still asleep when he left, so he didn't disturb her, and left a note at the bedside as a farewell.
As for why Emily is also ......
This is because after getting the things last night, it was already too late, and Chen Xiu did not go back, but spent the night at Emily's house.
In return for Emily's help, he went to bed a little late......
At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Xiu returned home.
"Grandpa, I'm back."
"I'm back so early." Grandpa had just returned from buying vegetables from the supermarket at this time, and was choosing vegetables, "I thought you wouldn't come back until noon, how was your fun at the party last night, were you happy?" ”
Because Chen Xiu said before leaving yesterday that he might not come back in the evening, even though he didn't come back overnight, his grandfather didn't worry much.
"You haven't had breakfast yet, I made some cakes last night, and a lot of them, I'll warm them up."
"Grandpa, I'll do it myself."
Chen Xiu asked his grandfather to sit back, went to the refrigerator and took out the things, put them in the microwave and started heating them.
Grandpa sat down for a while before he stood up again and said, "Then you eat first, I'll go to the supermarket." ”
"What are you doing at the supermarket?" Chen Xiu asked casually.
"Go to the supermarket and get some groceries and I'll be back right away."
As he spoke, Grandpa walked to the door, picked up the coat that hung on the wall, and put it on himself.
Chen Xiu was stunned for a moment, looked at the dishes that had not been selected, and hurriedly called his grandfather, who was already pushing the door: "Haven't you already bought it back?" ”
Grandpa was also stunned, patted his head, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Look at my memory, I'm really confused." ”
Grandpa's memory has never been good, and neither of them cared about this trivial matter.
Chen Xiu didn't rush to leave after returning home, and stayed with his grandfather at home for another day, and when he was idle, he practiced small five-shaped boxing to consume time.
Due to the neglect of practice in the past two days, the total experience points in the two days have only increased a little.
On the third day, Chen Xiu left, and before leaving, he left the money he got that night at home, and put it in the tea box where his grandfather usually put the money, so that his grandfather could take it himself.
still went to Tanar City to take a car, but Chen Xiu took a train to another state instead of a car to Parari City this time.
His destination was a city called New Delhi.
The original owner of the antique shop now lives in the countryside of New Delhi.
……
……
The railway system of the federation is not developed, the speed of the trains is very slow, the carriage environment is simple, and the riding experience is very average.
The vast majority of people prefer to drive themselves or fly by plane rather than by train.
Chen Xiu was also going to fly there, but after checking the route, he found that the train happened to pass through New Delhi and could be boarded in Tanar City.
If he were to fly, he would have to rush to another city first, because Tanar does not have a universal airport, and when he arrives in that state, he will have to transfer to a bus to get to New Delhi.
New Delhi, like the city of Tanar, does not have a general airport.
So Chen Xiu finally chose to take the train, although he would arrive later, but it was better to save trouble and not be so troublesome.
After Chen Xiu stepped on the train, he found that there were unexpectedly many passengers on the train, most of the seats were full of people, and there was no empty scene as he imagined.
There are not many people on the train at this station, only a few, but there are many passengers who get off the train, and the carriage comes and goes for a while, and it is a little noisy and noisy.
When the train was about to start, many of the passengers who had just gotten off the train got back on board, not because they had arrived at the station, but just to breathe in the fresh air outside the carriage and stretch their muscles.
The two passengers sitting opposite Chen Xiu were like this, he originally thought that there was no one on the other side, but when the train started, he saw a middle-aged man with flaxen curly hair and a girl walking over and sitting on the opposite seat.
This girl looks only thirteen or fourteen years old, with freckles on her face, a chubby round face that is vaguely similar to a middle-aged man, and the same flaxen-colored hair, basically at a glance you can see that the two are father and daughter.
The father and daughter seemed to be in trouble, and neither of them seemed to be in a good mood.
Chen Xiu didn't pay too much attention to them, and after getting into the car, he kept looking out the window and enjoying the scenery that kept passing by.
It's also the only way he can pass the time now.
The sky outside was gray, and there was no sunlight to be seen, just like Chen Xiu's mood now.
For this trip, he actually didn't have a bottom in his heart.
There is a high probability that he will return empty-handed and end up running for nothing, but this is the only useful clue he currently controls, and he has to try it anyway.
The train ride is very boring, especially without any entertainment.
Because he was too bored, Chen Xiu bought a newspaper from the flight attendant to kill time.
After he finished reading the newspaper, the middle-aged man opposite suddenly asked him to borrow the newspaper, and he felt that the newspaper was thrown away in the end, so he gave it to the other party directly.
By borrowing a newspaper, the two began to talk.
After chatting for a long time, Chen Xiu knew that the middle-aged man's name was Pope, and the little girl next to him was indeed the other party's daughter, named Lisa.
The father and daughter's destination is the same as his, they are going to New Delhi, where they have a relative, and this time the main purpose of going to New Delhi is to visit relatives.
"Hello, are you coming to play? We still have one person missing. ”
While the two were chatting, a tall girl with a ponytail suddenly walked up to Chen Xiu and invited him.
Chen Xiu looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw two girls about the same age as her sitting there, waving at him and greeting him warmly.
The three girls all looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, and they all looked so youthful and full of vitality.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Xiu agreed and joined them.
For the rest of the day, he basically never left there, and he was playing poker with the three girls all the time.
Time flies when playing cards, and before you know it, most of the day has passed, and it is evening.
At this time, the three girls also got off at the station, and the card game was finally over.
Before getting out of the car, the tall girl with a ponytail also left Chen Xiu's contact information.
Chen Xiu accepted it at the time, but after the other party got off the train, he crumpled it up and threw it into the trash.
What is destined not to be used, it is useless to keep it.
When Chen Xiu returned to his seat, he unexpectedly found that Pope, who was sitting opposite, and his daughter got off the bus.
The two seats were so empty, and when the train had been running for more than ten minutes, the father and daughter had never returned.
This made Chen Xiu feel a little strange.
The train was still a long way from New Delhi, and he had checked the timetable before, and it would not arrive until about 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Of course, if there is a delay, it will be even later.
It's only six o'clock in the evening, and it's at least six hours away.
Chen Xiu couldn't understand why Pope and his daughter got out of the car so early.
But he didn't think much about it, after all, he was just a stranger who met in Pingshui, and maybe they changed their plans temporarily, and it had nothing to do with him anyway.
The train continued to move forward slowly but firmly, and as the platform passed by one by one, the passengers in the carriage also got on and off the train one after another, changing many faces.
At 00:13, the train stopped again at a station.
This is the destination of Chen Xiu's trip, New Delhi.
New Delhi is only one-third the size of Tanar City, the city is very small, and the railway station is very old.
After Chen Xiu walked out of the carriage, he suddenly felt a chill coming, and shivered suddenly.
At this time, he realized that he had forgotten one thing, that is, he had not checked the temperature in New Delhi in advance, which caused him to shiver when he got off the train.
The climate in New Delhi is obviously very different from Tanar, and it is late at night and the temperature is even lower.
“…… Sloppy. ”
Chen Xiu had to wrap up the thin coat on his body, and trotted out of the station all the way to the station.
Naturally, it is impossible for him to go directly to someone during this time period, so he can only find a place to live first, and then talk about it tomorrow.
Fortunately, no matter where the train station is, there will always be a place like a hotel next to it, which made Chen Xiu spend a lot of effort and directly stayed in a motel next to it.
