Chapter VII: Theft

Prestige is not about how much you do for someone or an organization, but how much your work contributes to them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In reality, it is more helpless to brush up on prestige, seniority and hard work, and what really works is always to provide long-term and continuous benefits for others.

If you save someone, he may be grateful to you, and others will recognize you for your actions, but that is not intuitive after all, and gratitude may not last a lifetime.

For example, the most prestigious position in a city will never be the top ten pacesetters, or the martyr who died because of saving people must be the mayor.

No matter how many other people's advanced and good deeds are, Thai Half has nothing to do with your life, but the latter is closely related to the prosperity and welfare of your region, and naturally many people will continue to pay attention to it.

Ling Qi had never thought of making any hell of a reputation in Qingquan Town, because it would be too troublesome, and there was no profit to be made here, and the effort and return were not proportional at all.

At first, he really had some ideas for working with the Bomb Gang. After all, in addition to the bad reputation, the strength of the Bomb Gang is still considerable, and it is worth using.

It's a pity that even he didn't expect that he would inadvertently insert willows and willows again!

Is it because he's not smart enough? No, it's also because he's stuck in a kind of blind spot!

From his own point of view, he thinks about how to make the townspeople profit in exchange for prestige, and then use prestige to make profits, naturally how to calculate how to lose.

But in fact, he thinks that what the townspeople need is not necessarily the only thing they need! For a person who is dying of hunger, it is not only fragrant steamed buns that are good, but overnight meals and dregs of bran water can make them crazy!

A little fruit, in Lingqi, is also a windfall, with limited value but indeed useful, and it is impossible to contribute to the townspeople for free, because they can't give anything in return.

As for the remaining plants after picking, they had become meaningless in his eyes, and he didn't even think that they were valuable.

He didn't expect that for the townspeople, the fruit trees that could produce fruit were more important than the harvest once or twice.

Fruit that can be picked and eaten immediately is of course a good thing, but a mature plant that may be transplanted will be the hope that the townspeople will be able to eat the fruit in the future!

Even if there is little hope, isn't it a beautiful blueprint?

Compared with the intake of trace amounts of radiation, the lack of vitamins is the most fatal thing in the wasteland! Needless to say, the scarcity of food in the wasteland has become a rare luxury! And now that this luxury has the possibility of being supplied for a long time, how can the townspeople not be grateful to Ling Qi!

Besides, the hundreds of mutant lizards in the canyon are a group of garbage monsters for newcomers in the eyes of people like Ling Qi, but for ordinary townspeople, they are a disaster that can erupt at any time!

In the entire Qingquan Town, probably only Shanni alone has the strength to kill all those mutant lizards on the premise of saving her life, which depends on luck.

After all, a person's mental and physical strength are limited, if she accidentally falls into the circle of three to five mutant lizards, she will probably have to sing hallelujah and prepare to leave her last words.

Spear as strong as Sanny's, and it's hard to deal with a large group of enemies on her own, even if it's a large group of mutated creatures.

If she gets along with Ling Qi and the others, not to mention defeating the mutant lizards wave by wave, she will find that the enemy is fighting more and more if she is not careful!

Leo's bow and arrows are as powerful as firearms, but the sound is completely controllable, and he can easily lure a handful of lizards into the distance, and then let the newcomers practice shooting to ensure that neither the sound of gunfire nor the dying cries of mutated lizards will summon more enemies.

Even if there is an occasional omission, there is a big killer weapon of Ling Qi to remedy it!

Sanny can't, she's a lone wolf, she has no companions, marksmanship is her only strength, and she's only proficient in stealth.

Mainly because her equipment is not fine, except that the leather armor is salamander skin, which is not bad, and the weapon is actually the most ordinary fox squirrel shotgun, which has not even undergone any modifications, and the silencer is not installed!

She felt that it was enough, more than enough. However, she is not the kind of legend who can break out of the sky with the help of wooden planks and pieces of iron.

She is very good at fighting, but also very poor, because she is good at wine, but the scarcity of alcohol in this world and the fight of fruits and vegetables!

She usually hunts mutant lizards and coyotes, mainly to obtain skin and trade with the townspeople. Most of the money from the trade goes to the tavern, and the smaller half is used to make ends meet and maintain weapons.

She hadn't even thought about updating her equipment, and she didn't have the ability.

The most important thing is that she is also an outsider, even if she stays for a long time, even if she has the heart to take care of the safety of Qingquan Town, it is impossible to really protect this place as if she were home.

As long as the mutated creatures didn't actively roam around town, she wouldn't be in trouble with the hordes of monsters.

Although she is powerful, she is far from invincible. Just because you're confident that you can hunt Deathclaws doesn't mean you'll be able to enter and leave Deathclaw's lair as if you're in a no-man's land!

In the vicinity of Qingquan Town, there are actually quite a few large-scale monster gathering places like this, and the mutant lizard canyon in the southeast is just one of them, and there is a nest of mutant scorpions in the northwest, which is really terrifying.

It's not that no one has ever suspected that there may be some scarce resources in that kind of place, but let alone carry out a clean-up, even if you investigate, you have to risk losing your head!

Only a character like Ling Qi can take a group of rookies on an outing in the wasteland!

Completely different from those natives, his individual combat power is off the charts, and he has no weaknesses in attack and defense from near and far!

With up to 18 points of main combat attributes and more than 20 points of perception, he is endowed with inhuman strength and mobility, plus his natural skills from the magical plane. In essence, he is no longer a mortal, but a superman, a DC hero, who dares to fight with monsters like deathclaws even naked.

Is there such a "person" in the radiation plane? Mutants are not so strong!

Therefore, some things that he thinks are trivial are big things in the eyes of the natives, and they are miracles beyond manpower!

Sannie dared to argue with Ling Qi, just because she had never seen Godzilla that looked like a mutated deathclaw from a distance. What's more, because she didn't know that what she was facing was a humanoid emperor claw!

If she hid in the shadows and secretly shot Ling Qi like that, maybe she could really pose a certain threat to him. If she fights head-on, not to mention that she is a civilian hunter, even the kinetic armored warrior of Yinglei is coming, and she will be cut in two!

Except for weapons of mass destruction such as missiles, unless blocked by a group of machine gunners, Ling Qi is almost invincible in this plane!

After dinner, the newlyweds were arranged to rest, Ling Qi didn't see Cheng Shao until this time, and after asking Chu Di, he knew that the man had gone home with Shanni and wouldn't stay in the hotel tonight.

Chu Ti's implication was that the rooms in the hotel were full, and in order to help, Shanny asked a strange man to spend the night in her house for the sake of Ling Qi's face.

In fact, she herself suspected that what she had seen and heard before was an illusion, and Sunny, who had always been clean and self-conscious, would take the initiative to invite a strange man to her house for the night. What is especially puzzling is that this incident happened after she rejected another strange man who was good-looking and famous. Who would give up a golden tree and pick a piece of waste wood that is nothing?

Ling Qi smiled, thinking that this time the master was afraid that he would lose his eyes, that man, it was not simple.

He didn't care, not only didn't care about Chudi's cover-up, but also didn't care about some people's small actions.

Late at night, Ling Qi, who had been bored all day during the day, suddenly felt relaxed, as if he had suddenly become a fish back in the water!

He did not alarm anyone, not even Leo, but left through the back door of the inn, turned into a dark shadow, and swept towards the house he had been to in the morning, built on a high place, Dr. Michelle's house.

Breaking down the door, the light movement did not even stir up the slightest wind.

Like a tanuki, Ling Qi came to Dr. Mihir's bedroom. His developed senses allowed him to hear the faint breathing inside, and the people in the room were sleeping deeply.

Pushing open the door, the old doctor really didn't notice, Ling Qi slowly walked to the bedside, and the pain and thorns had already appeared in his hands!

He looked at the old face, thinking about his superb medical skills, and slowly lowered his raised hand, and finally shook his head.

"Well, keep him, maybe it will be useful later. ”

Killing has never been his only hobby, perhaps occasionally in order to vent, in order to satisfy the inexplicable bloodthirsty desire in his heart, to make his partners drink blood. More often than not, he kills people just to gain profit and achieve his goals.

The lightning shot out, and the two fingers together quickly severed on the old doctor's left artery!

The sleeping doctor tilted his head and immediately fainted.

This technique, recorded in Antorel's notes, is untitled, and works similar to slicing the neck with a palm knife, but is lighter and faster.

Next, there was a big sweep.

Eight cubic meters of storage space is more than enough to empty all the things in the doctor's house, and Ling Qi only takes the essence.

Since the old doctor's life has been spared, and he will be used in the future, he must be left with some equipment.

None of the large medical equipment was moved, and none of the drug injections were left.

Ling Qi also found a box of bottle caps from the safe in the back room, including the gold coins he had previously traded.

In addition, weapons, ammunition, equipment, and clothes that look clean and complete have all been carpeted by him!

That's not all, he also smashed a surveillance device in the corner of the room, burned the camera, and removed the "PP boy" on the doctor's arm, and searched for a spare item in another room and took it all!

This kind of high-tech product marked with special props, after figuring out its function, suddenly surprised Ling Qi. What kind of portable tablet is this, it's an encyclopedia with radar scanning function!

In the end, seeing that there was really nothing to scavenge, he regretfully took away an electronic terminal that recorded a large amount of medical research.

This thing is not explained, but it can probably be sold for some money when you bring it back, and the contents recorded in it are even more priceless.

In terms of biochemistry, Ling Qi himself is also a little researched, especially in the field of chemical agents, and is more authoritative than some doctors who are not worthy of the name.

Although the technology of this plane is somewhat different from the plane he has been in, there is always something in common.

After being a night thief, Ling Qi didn't stop there, he set his sights on Check's grocery store again!

So, before dawn, Qingquan Town was fried.

Overnight, Dr. Michelle's house and the town's grocery store were ransacked at the same time, and the grocery store owner was murdered.

When Chuti walked out of the warehouse behind the inn with a dead face, the townspeople were in an uproar, knowing that there was one more victim.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of drinks for sale on the hotel bar. Probably because there are many people living here, and there is such an existence as the Deathclaw Knight, even thieves dare not patronize it.

The thought of the Deathclaw Knight made the hearts of some people move again.

When something like this happens, the first people to suspect are of course those outsiders, and the powerful and mysterious Deathclaw Knight bears the brunt!

His strength, his mystery, his past deeds, his big pet!

If it weren't for the loud noise that no one heard last night, it must have been the Deathclaw Knight who killed people and used his huge pet to transport the stolen goods.

However, after all, there is no evidence, and it is difficult to justify speculation, and the Deathclaw Knight is famous, so except for some occasional glances at him full of suspicion, no one dares to question it face to face.

Thanks to his unintentional actions yesterday, he has somewhat accumulated some prestige in the town, otherwise there would only be more people who doubt him!

It was Chuti, who was unusually determined to support Ling Qi. Her suspected target is the Bomb Gang, Joe Cobb.

Ling Qi, who was watching the excitement in the crowd, found that people were always concerned about the disappeared materials, and as for the grocery store owner Check, his life and death did not cause much shock.

"Such a world is really indifferent. ”

However, Ling Qi misunderstood the residents of Qingquan Town, but Cheke really didn't know how to be a person on weekdays, his mouth was damaged, and his heart was black. If it were Dr. Michelle who died, it would have caused a backlash from the townspeople!

A mercenary grocer, who cares if he is dead or alive?

As long as someone comes out in time to take his place, so that everyone's daily life is not affected, it is enough.

The townsfolk and passing treasure hunters alike all need a place to exchange supplies, and it doesn't matter who they trade with.

Maybe it could be fairer and less insatiable.

Living in such a world, I have long been accustomed to facing life and death. Come on, this is hell on earth!

Materials are the most important thing in the wasteland, human life-hehe...

Back in the room, Ling Qi had to face the ambiguous eyes of the newcomers. A large number of "disappeared" materials reminded them of the mysterious storage space that Ling Qi had!

"I did Dr. Michelle's housework, but I just took some medicine and treatment needles, and the grocery store business had nothing to do with me. ”

Ling Qi is familiar with lying, his eyes and expressions are all perfect.

Seeing that the newcomers were still a little unconvinced, Ling Qi said again:

"The storage space is far from as big as you think, if you can really fit everything, why should I load all that garbage, isn't it better to have airplane cannons!"

This guy is secretly changing the concept again, not to mention the difficulty of getting the aircraft cannon, its assessment value, and the applicability in other planes. Just talking about a space that can't fit the cannons of an airplane, can't it still accommodate a large number of fragmentary materials?

The newcomers had a preconceived impression, thinking that Ling Qi didn't need to lie to them, and second, they were misled by his words. If Ling Qi denied everything, they would definitely be suspicious. But he just admitted part of it, which will lead people to reverie, if it was really what he did, why not push it cleanly, but take the initiative to admit half of it?

This method is commonly used by politicians and smart people, avoiding the important and trivializing!

"I believe in you!"

It was Mo Mo who spoke, she seemed to be infected by Ling Qi's sincere tone, or looked at those clear eyes, and subconsciously thought that he was not lying.

Having achieved his goal, Ling Qi felt unhappy in his heart.

Believe me? Or in that tone! Why? Are you qualified to say that?

He never regarded these people in front of him as friends, at most he just guided and used them, and this relationship should not be shackled more!

Ling Qi has already begun to learn to use feelings, but he is still a little reluctant!

His self-contradiction doesn't change anything at all, just as something like this happens ten thousand times a thousand times, and he doesn't just tell a lie nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times.

Because of Mo Mo's statement, everyone unanimously pointed the finger at the Bomb Gang, thinking that today was the day when the Bomb Gang was going to come to search the town, and they all threatened to make them look good.

After all, this pot of was not only buckled on Ling Qi's head, all outsiders were suspected, especially a few people in Ling Qi's group.

People who are jealous of the Knight of the Claw will always be more than they worship him, and using a fact to maliciously slander him will often have a better effect than rumors.

The uproar in the town was left aside, and someone followed Sunny all over the place to pull aid and didn't talk about him.

In the morning, before eight o'clock, Chuti hurried to the housekeeping department, and the group had been told in advance that they had stopped discussing those sensitive topics and turned to talk about some inconsequential things.

After a hurried knock on the door, Ling Qi walked over slowly, opened the door, and exchanged a few more polite words with Chu Di before letting her in.

Seeing that everyone was there, Chudi was not surprised, but made a request for entrustment with some anxiety. A mercenary mission that is not recognized by the Juggernaut!

"Let's help deal with the Bombs? A hundred bottle caps are trying to send us away? What does that mean? When we're called Hanako?"

"Why do you want to promise her, hmph, just rely on Cheng Shao's little white face to get mixed with them?!"

After Chuti left, the fat man broke the silence first. Of course, Cheng Shao is not a little white face, he looks actually very ordinary, and if he is not so arrogant, he is quite affable, but the fat man just doesn't like him.

Although he doesn't have a crush on the Bombs, he would rather have that arrogant kid suffer a little from the Bombs than a certain "traitor".

Tang Xiao frowned and pondered, he was thinking about Cheng Shao's thoughts, thinking about the possible consequences of accepting the task or giving it up. As for Ling Qi, he was the most calm, and had already begun to fiddle with the revolver that came with the first Juggernaut.
