Chapter 85: trade
The four of Xie Sen walked into the Youhai Hall and were walking towards the elevator. Xi Mai brought four security guards with weapons to stop them and asked them to cooperate with the investigation in the name of suspected theft.
The four of them had been prepared for a long time, and they cooperated very well, letting Xi Mai take them away.
Xie Sen thought he would go to the local police station or something, but he didn’t expect that Simai took them directly to a hall on the 87th floor.
The hall is very large, with a set of white leather sofas on the right, sitting on it is a man in a blue shirt, who is very good-looking, with blue hair and eyelashes. Xie Sen was stunned, thinking to himself, is this makeup or natural?
His sight was too obvious, Lanny raised his eyes and looked at him lightly, Xie Sen subconsciously raised a smile and expressed his friendliness, this person must be a senior in Youhai.
“Prince.” Simae saluted Lenny.
Lanny waved his hand at will, motioning him to leave.
Xi Mai’s face was tense, and he stood still. In his opinion, these four were strange and unfathomable, and it was too dangerous for Lanny to meet them alone.
Lanny glanced at him: “Get out.”
Xi Mai had no choice but to leave the hall and wait outside the door.
“Sit down.” Lanney glanced at the four of Xie Sen and said lightly.
The four of Xie Sen looked at each other. Lenny’s attitude was too friendly and calm, which made them more alert. The four sat down opposite Lenny, waiting for him to speak.
Lanny’s eyes fell on them one by one, and every time he looked at each person, he pointed out their identities: “The dragon family, the Bai family, the only plant-type beast owner, the flying lion beast owner who has severed ties with the family, Brandt Stars, are you provocative by stealing You Hai’s treasure?”
Xie Sen blinked and looked innocent: “Stealing? There may be a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?” Lenny snorted softly, “Do you think You Hai can’t find any evidence and can’t help you with it? Let’s not talk about the evidence, as long as you don’t throw away the stolen things, when you leave the country, if you take it from you The items lost in Youhai were found. According to the law of Blue Star, you can be thrown directly into the sea of death.”
Xie Senton felt guilty, Xiaoyin was born in Blue Star, it may not want to leave, but the giant crocodile beast and the giant bear beast are different, they were caught by Blue Star, and it is very likely that they will choose to be with them leave together.
If they leave with them, Lanny will search them when they leave the country, and check them out.
Xie Sen maintained his composure: “Despite the search, there is nothing in Youhai on us.”
Lanny stared at him, frowning lightly: “Don’t tell me, you steal things just to throw them away.”
of course not! This can’t be said, Xie Sen didn’t speak for a while.
Maine stared at Lanny: “Your purpose?”
Since Lanny can think of searching when he leaves the country, he can completely stand still and wait for them to leave. He didn’t do that. Instead, he chose to sit with them in the lobby, which must have a purpose.
Lanny glanced at him, called up the picture the search team had sent him, and turned the screen to them: “How did you escape?”
The photo was taken from a bird’s-eye view. Next to the big reef in the sea, there was a blue whale like a hill. Apart from that, there was no one else. Lanny immediately switched to a photo, the blue whale hadn’t approached the reef yet, and there were four very small figures on the reef.
Comparing the two photos, after a blue whale approached the reef, all four people on the rock were eaten the same.
Xie Sen didn’t expect the appearance of the blue whale to create such an illusion. He finally understood why the two aircraft were withdrawn. It turned out that they were eaten by the blue whale.
“Wow! It looks bigger this way!” Long Teng’s eyes glowed and he couldn’t help sighing.
Bai Jiao pinched his hand, but it didn’t take much effort, but it made him feel the pain, he immediately reacted, turned his head and smiled at Bai Jiao, shut up and didn’t speak.
Xie Sen tentatively said: “You just want to satisfy curiosity? If you tell you how we escaped, you will no longer doubt us?”
“Of course not,” Lenny said, “I’m not doubting, but affirming that you stole things.”
The four of them didn’t speak again, and they made up their minds not to admit it. This was what they agreed on the road.
Lanny could see Xie Sen’s plan, but he decided that You Hai couldn’t produce any evidence and would not admit it. He tutted lightly and narrowed his eyes slightly: “Do you know how much You Hai will suffer because of this? Do you think I will suffer from this secret loss?”
He operated the bracelet a few times, called up a document, and showed them the screen: “If you can’t recognize what it is, I don’t mind explaining it.”
There are still photos on the screen, but they are not regular photos. The colors are black and white. The walls and floor have become transparent black, but there are other things in the middle of the black. There are fingerprints on the walls and two rows of white on the ground. footprints.
Xie Sen: Is there such a high-tech thing?
He didn’t know what technology was used to make this kind of picture, but he knew at a glance that these traces were left by him and Maine on the 82nd floor.
He pulled a smile: “Hahaha, this… We just heard that Youhai’s security is very strict, just curious.”
“Really?” Lenny raised his eyebrows, “Since it’s just curiosity, shouldn’t that thing be returned to its original owner?”
Xie Sen blinked and said in a negotiated tone: “Why don’t you say a price, the thing is not in our hands, we let it go.”
“Do you think I would believe this reason?”
Xie Sen’s expression was serious: “In Brant Star, it is illegal to sell contract beasts privately. Contract beasts are our friends. We don’t want them to be bought or forced to form contracts, so they were taken away and released.”
“You can bid at the auction.” Lenny said coldly.
Long Teng said: “But most of the auction price will go to the contracted beast dealers. They still enjoy the huge profits from selling the contracted beasts, and they will definitely hurt the contracted beasts in the future.”
“The auction item was lost in Youhai, and Youhai must compensate at the average auction price of similar items,” Lanney glanced at him, “The money they get will not be less.”
Long Teng said: “They are so bad, you don’t want to compensate them!”
Lanny sneered lightly: “Long Yu’s son is so naive, it’s surprising,” he folded his hands and leaned on the sofa, “Give you a chance, tell me how you escaped from the blue whale, and handed things over to you. Come out and I can pretend nothing happened.”
He said for a while, stretched out his hand, and held a black fungus between his fingers: “By the way, I have to answer how you got this thing on the camera.”
Xie Sen looked at the black fungus and couldn’t help but ask, “Have you all picked up this one on the camera?”
Lanny: “Of course.”
The cold fungus appeared in Xie Sen’s mind, and he swallowed: “Give it back to me, and I can give you an example.”
Lanny looked at his expression and threw the flap in his hand to him: “Just use this as an example.”
Xie Sen secretly said a pity, he picked up the black fungus and held it in his hand, the fungus flap would lose control when it leaves the root, which is useless at all.
He thought about it, Xiaoyin and the contracted beast would definitely not pay it back. He couldn’t complete all of the three requirements raised by Lanny, so he simply didn’t do any of them and was not ready to demonstrate. However, he was also a little guilty. After all, their actions were illegal, and they did harm You Hai’s interests.
He pinched the black fungus, a flash of light flashed in his mind, he leaned forward with a serious look: “Prince, why don’t we make a deal!”
There was a hint of surprise in Lanny’s eyes. If the four of them hadn’t stole the shells and contracted beasts, and hadn’t consigned watermelons, he would probably have dismissed these words, but now he wouldn’t underestimate them, instead he was a little curious.
“Tell me.”
Xie Sen laughed, his tone full of sincerity: “I have never seen such a beautiful place as Blue Star. When I arrived at the space port, I saw many tourists, they all looked happy, facing the sea. Cheers and praise.”
“Prince, how can such a beautiful place tolerate bad things happening? Except for the mermaid, most planetary people have awakened contract beasts and regard contract beasts as friends and partners. Many people hate selling contract beasts. Behaviour, I think everything about Bluestar should be good, and this kind of thing should be strictly forbidden.”
Xie Sen said for a while, this is what he just thought, they can rescue two contracted beasts, but there will be countless contracted beasts sent to auction.
If there is a market, there will be harm. The real protection of contract beasts should start from the circulation channels.
It is illegal for Brant Star to sell contracted beasts, and the military has a lot of pressure on the black market. Last time he was arrested, the military solved a contracted beast dealer organization, and the contract was stunned in Brant Star.
But they cannot be sold on Brant, and they may not come to Blue to sell. Blue is a special planet. The indigenous mermaid does not have contracted beasts, so there is no relevant law to protect contracted beasts. For contracted beast dealers , is undoubtedly a treasure.
Lanny’s eyes moved slightly: “As far as I know, forming a contract is a sacred thing. The beast owners are eager to form a contract, but they can’t find the contract beast. The secluded sea auctioned the contract beast, which satisfies their wishes and can The person who made the bid has a good family background, and the beast owner treats his contracted beast very well, this is a good thing, not a bad thing.”
Xie Sen looked at him in surprise. He thought that Lenny was more concerned about profit, but he didn’t expect Lenny to say such a thing, as if to explain that everything in Blue Star was good.
He said sternly: “That’s not the case. Contracted beasts have high IQs, and they are individuals with independent thoughts.”
He thought for a while: “You can think about it from another position. I heard that the mermaid can transform from human form to beast form. If there is a famous fish beast master who is forced to form a contract with you, you must follow that person in everything you do and obey. his actions, but he’s been nice to you, would you? Are you happy?”
Lenny’s face sank: “No one can drive the mermaid,” he said coldly, “I don’t like this empathy… not willing.”
Xie Sen said: “Look, that’s the way it is. Contracted beasts just can’t communicate with humans in language, but their IQ is not inferior to humans. Forcing a contract to form a contract can even hurt contracted beasts, which is a very bad thing.”
“Yes,” Long Teng said on the side, “If you have the ability, the contracted beast will willingly obey the beast master, and there is no need to force a contract.”
Lanny thought with an unpredictable expression, and said after a while: “Forbidding the sale of contract beasts, Blue Star will lose a lot of wealth.”
Xie Sen thought to himself, he still mentioned profit, he had already prepared: “This is the transaction I said, don’t sell contract beasts, you can sell other things, let all people like things,”
“You mean watermelon?” Lenny asked.
Xie Sen said: “This is just one of them. Don’t underestimate the profit of food. After you taste the taste of watermelon, you will definitely find huge business opportunities. Of course, watermelon can not be included in the transaction.”
“You want to exchange watermelon for shells and contract beasts?” Lanny pierced his thoughts.
Xie Sen smiled and said, “I think it’s worth it. In your eyes, shells and contracted beasts are actually nothing, aren’t they? You can try it now and judge whether what I said is true.”
Lanny looked at him lightly and didn’t say a word, it really didn’t matter, otherwise he wouldn’t be so polite. The reason why he didn’t let people arrest them directly, but chose to see them, is because these things are not as important as satisfying his interests with him.
He sent a message with his wristband, and after a while, Simai walked in with a watermelon and put it on the coffee table in the middle of the sofa.
Xie Sen smiled, took out a fruit knife and cut the watermelon in two vertically, then divided it into pieces, picked up a piece and handed it to Lanny: “Eat the red pulp, and the black ones are the seeds, you have to spit them out.”
He couldn’t help selling it as he said, “In addition to eating like this, you can also squeeze it into watermelon juice. Think about how wonderful it feels to drink juice when you soak it in the sea!”
Lanny took the hand and smelled it subconsciously, and the faint sweet fragrance rushed into the tip of his nose. His eyes brightened, he took a bite, and chewed it twice, the sweet juice filled his mouth, and his mouth was full of saliva.
His eyes brightened, he finished eating a piece of watermelon and wiped his hands: “Planting conditions?”
Xie Sen recalled: “Dry land, does Blue Star have dry land?”
Lanny: “Only the island has dry land, and the area is very small, but it doesn’t matter, Blue Star has resource stars, you can try to plant it.”
Xie Sen smiled and said, “So, did you agree to my deal?”
Lanny: “There are thousands of types of contracted beasts. You only use one kind of fruit. It’s still my fault, but I can ignore the shells and contracted beasts.”
This was the result that Xie Sen wanted most when he was invited here, but now that he has a better idea, he is a little dissatisfied with the result.
“I think you should think about the transaction I mentioned. Watermelon is just a kind of fruit. In addition to looking at the scenery, the most important thing for human travel is to eat. Although seafood is delicious, it will be boring to eat continuously, and it is too bland.”
Lanny raised his eyebrows: “You mean, there are other foods? As far as I know, edible food in Brant star is very rare.”
Xie Sen laughed: “Of course there are other plants,” he said, looking at the time, “Lunch time is almost over, how about we have a meal together? Let you taste other flavors.”
The five people moved to the fifty-seventh floor. Unlike the fifty-sixth floor, the fifty-seventh floor had a private room in addition to the scattered seats. Lanny directly booked a luxurious private room.
Xie Sen ordered two hot pots, the waiter served the seafood, and when he left, he was ready to close the door, but Xie Sen stopped him: “Don’t close it, just leave it open.” Otherwise, it will be difficult to breathe.
The waiter looked at Lenny, who nodded.
The seafood was slowly cooked in the pot, and Xie Sen exchanged it for a medium-spicy chili, turning it into powder and evenly sprinkled it into the hot pot in front of him. Soon, the spiciness wafted out.
Long Teng was eating raw seafood, he raised his head and swallowed: “Asen, did you put peppers? It smells so good!”
Xie Sen nodded, the spiciness is amazing, and the smell makes people appetite. Looking at the red soup in the pot, he couldn’t wait, worried that it was not cooked, so he could only wait patiently.
Lanny didn’t hesitate, just picked up a scallop, put it aside and waited for it to cool a little, then ate the scallop meat in one bite. The next moment, his face turned red, his eyes were red, and his lips were red as if stained with blood.
Xie Sen secretly said that it is not good, although it is medium spicy, but mermaids are used to eating light tastes, and suddenly eat spicy food, medium spicy may be regarded as spicy for them.
“If it’s too spicy, try it with water before you eat it?” he suggested.
Lanny glanced at him with his red eyes, took a sip of water, and without hesitation, took another scallop and ate the meat.
Xie Sen watched him eat one after another, and knew that he liked it very much.
Long Teng couldn’t help but stretched out his chopsticks, but Bai Jiao grabbed his wrist: “Half-cooked seafood, we will get sick if we eat it.”
“Wow! Don’t eat it, it’s not cooked yet!” Long Teng could only withdraw his hand and stared straight at the spicy hot pot. Seeing that there was less and less seafood in the pot, he hurriedly covered the hot pot with his hands and glared at Lan Ni.
Lanny drank several sips of water, because it was too spicy, and his eyes were wet: “It doesn’t matter.” No matter what kind of seafood, the mermaid can eat it.
A long time ago, when mermaids couldn’t transform into humans, they couldn’t eat hot food, and after they could naturally transform into human and animal forms, they would be fine.
Bai Jiao pulled Long Teng’s hand away funny, Lanny continued to eat, Bai Jiao scooped some seafood from the clear soup pot into the spicy pot with a spoon: “If it’s not enough, I’ll add more later.”
Long Teng laughed immediately and looked at Bai Jiao with a bright smile: “You are so kind and smart.”
Xie Sen complained: “You are stupid.”
Maine picked up a piece of scallop, glanced at it, and immediately put it on Xie Sen’s plate: “It’s cooked, you can eat it.” Xie Sen turned his head and smiled at him, “You can eat it too.”
Long Teng pouted and was about to refute Xie Sen’s words, but he didn’t refute when he saw this, and started eating neatly.
The aroma became stronger and stronger as it was cooked, and it wafted from the inside of the private room to the outside. After ordering the food from the bread room, the waiter opened the door and was about to leave.
The eyes of the guests in the private room lit up: “Wait, don’t go first, what’s this smell, give us a copy too.”
The waiter was stunned: “I’m sorry, I don’t know.”
“Go to the kitchen and ask. No matter what it is, don’t care about the price. Come first. The taste is so appealing. I wasn’t hungry at first, but when I smelled it, I really wanted to eat.”
“My saliva came out, completely out of control!”
“Me too, God knows I hate eating the most!”
The waiter ran to the kitchen in a daze, and the chef glared at him: “What’s new? Isn’t that what every day is? Except for more salt and less salt, there’s no difference.”
“No,” the waiter said quickly, “it’s really fragrant, not salty. If you don’t believe it, you’ll know as soon as you go out. The outside is full of fragrance.”
The chef walked out and said as he walked: “How is it possible, I don’t know what I make?” After a while, “Oh my God, how can it be so delicious!”
He walked to the private room following the fragrance. When a guest saw him in uniform, he grabbed him and said, “What are they eating, they still have one. Hurry up, they are greedy.”
The chef asked how I knew, and he comforted him: “You go back to the private room and wait for a while.” After fooling the guests, he came all the way to Xie Sen’s private room.
Seeing Lanny, he was stunned for a moment, staring at Xie Sen and scolding: “You guys are so bold, how dare you bully the prince!”
“Go out.” Lanny wiped his mouth and said lightly.
Xie Sen’s mouth twitched: “Where did we bully him?”
“The eldest prince is crying.” The chef said angrily.
Xie Sen looked at Lanny, your eyes were wet and red, and your face was red, it really looked like crying, he lowered his head and smirked.
Lanny’s expression turned cold: “Who cried?”
The head chef panicked into a Muggle in an instant: “No no… no one,” he glanced. Although the rest of the people were in better condition than Lanny, their symptoms were similar. “There are many guests who want to eat this, eldest prince, how is this done?”
Lanny looked at Xie Sen, Xie Sen shrugged, Lenny said: “New product research, not for sale.”
The chef left reluctantly, and used the rhetoric given by Lanny to deal with all the guests who were waiting to eat.
Some guests were too greedy and ran to the door of the private room: “Dude, can you take a seat?”
A minute later, this person was invited away by the people who were brought by Xi Mai. Xi Mai stood at the door and looked at Lenny worriedly. Lenny glanced at him: “Go out and have someone guard three meters away.”
Xi Mai stared at him for a while, making sure that he was not crying and was in a normal mood. He personally stood three meters outside the door, but he stopped anyone who wanted to approach.
The five of them were satisfied, but the rest of the guests on the same floor were in extreme pain.
Back on the 87th floor, Lanny ate another piece of watermelon, the blush on his face gradually dissipated, he took a sip: “What did you just put in?”
Xie Sen opened his palm and placed a red chili pepper in his palm: “Chili, it was just medium hot. Different chili peppers have different spiciness. It can be made into powder for seasoning, just like just now, and it can also be used as food. There are many ways to eat it.”
Lanny stretched out his hand to take it, and Xie Sen clenched his fist and retracted: “Now, what do you think of the deal I’m talking about?”
“It can be considered, but plant research is a long and uncertain thing. Can you provide the seeds and the exact planting method?” Lanney asked.
Xie Sen said: “Okay.” He glanced at the calendar and was stunned. It was actually the 20th. He didn’t know how the apartment and the contracted beast’s residence were built. He decided to wait a while and ask.
As soon as his thoughts turned, he looked at Lanny, “In half a month, Brant Star Pepper will be available. If you don’t believe me, I can send you a picture of the growing pepper right now.”
Lanny pondered for a moment and was about to say something when Xi Mai walked in with a tense expression: “Prince, I just received an emergency report that the blue whale has entered the safe waters and is moving fast towards the east. The sea monsters in the dead sea Gathered at the edge, and there was no movement for the time being.”
Lanny’s expression changed: “Stop the blue whale as soon as possible,” he said coldly, “No limit to means.”
