"You have a gourmet system, not a warrior system, what's wrong with fighting with an iron pot?" Abu said that it was impossible for him to have the bulletproof ability of a frying pan.

"Uh, I'm not as good as a pot for a long time? Abu, I found that you have become a picker, you don't love me anymore. Huo Chi was full of food and drink, and had enough strength to tease Abu.

"I'm the system, I don't need humans to love me, and I don't need to love humans. Abu calmly accepted Huo Chi's words.

"You don't have to talk to me about it so formally. Hearing this, Huo Chi hurriedly pulled the topic back again: "Abu, aren't you the system, why can't you add some skills to me?"

"Because I don't have authority in this aspect, I really can't add skills to you, this kind of upgrade level thing has a high authority, I can only reluctantly fine-tune, I want to add additional skills to you, I really can't do anything. Abu told the truth, and there was a little helplessness in his words.

"That's strange, since you can't make big changes, then who can make them?" Huo Chi suddenly found a more sensitive question from Abu's answer, that is, what exactly is Abu.

Where did it come from, and was there a higher being above it, and if so, was that something as systematic as Abu, or could it be some kind of being more intelligent than human?

"I ...... You'll find out soon, so now you can focus on leveling up. Abu stopped talking.

Huo Chi found that Abu stopped talking at the critical moment, and if he thought about it carefully, Abu never answered its origin, but even if Abu never revealed the slightest tone, Huo Chi had his own guess in his heart.

First of all, as a strange and unknown system, Abu's capabilities far exceed the existing technological power of this world.

Secondly, there are also some existences similar to Abu's abilities in this world, and these things are those so-called ruins and relics.

In addition, according to Abu's words when he first appeared, it seems that Abu's real name is not called a gourmet system at all, but a system called Adventure XX.

So the most critical question here is, what is Abu's true identity, what kind of system is it, and why did Abu choose himself, is it really a matter of fit?

Huo Chi thought about it for a long time, and this time, Huo Chi repeatedly scrutinized the doubts in his heart all along, and he even took into account Abu's so-called fellow countryman. However, Abu, who knew all of Huo Chi's thoughts, still didn't say a word, which made Huo Chi unable to judge whether his thoughts were right or wrong.

"Oops! I've eaten up the last fried bun, why do I think I still want to continue eating?" Just as Huo Chi was thinking about what Abu was, Xiao Jian's voice suddenly came.

He looked up and saw that there was only a small amount of coconut milk left on the table, and those delicious fried buns had been eaten by everyone.

Yes, Huo Chi nodded slightly, ordinary people in the last days will never waste food, which is worth learning from people in peacetime.

"Shhhhh Just when Huo Chi was sighing, Fu Ze's voice came from the window. Fu Ze didn't know when he had lifted the curtains again, and was carefully checking the situation in the outside world.

"How is it, has the patrol car passed?" Mr. White Fox's expression also became serious, and Huo Chi realized that when he was thinking about it just now, there was actually a patrol car outside!

"Not yet, they stopped at the intersection, strange. Fu Ze frowned: "Could it be that the people on the freighter have already reported the situation to the White Eagle side?"

"Probably not, I've already killed the people involved, uh...... I just don't know how Zhang Haikong is now. Huo Chi remembered Zhang Haikong, who was knocked unconscious, when the freighter had already left the port, and he had no chance to get on the ship to chase him.

On the cargo ship of the Demon Protection Society.

The captain sat alone in his office, holding a satellite phone with a signal that happened to be full. However, although the signal was good, he had no intention of making a call.

"Knock knock. ”

Just as he was staring at the satellite phone, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in. The captain put the phone on the table, and he leaned back in his chair.

"Captain, we are about to enter the agreed sea, are we going to make a deal?" The person who came was none other than the first mate, a human man with an ordinary and low-key appearance, who was waiting for the captain's answer.

"Did the pirates signal?" asked the captain with a slight sigh.

"No signal has been received yet. The first mate immediately replied, "But according to the agreement, it seems that we should signal them first." ”

"Well, I know. Haven't those children been found?"

"No, I've sent someone to search all possible corners, Captain, and I suspect that these children were most likely taken off the ship by the vanished temporary workers. ”

"How could such a thing happen? When did they leave, and how did they get off the ship?"

"We had two fewer lifeboats, and I suspect they left through the lifeboats. ”

"Was anyone witnessed?"

"The only witness may have been Captain Kim, but he is said to have ...... himself before"

"Smack!" the captain slapped the table vigorously without waiting for the first mate to finish, "Captain Jin's matter must not be mentioned by anyone, including you and me, understand?"

"Yes, but Captain, what shall we do now?"

"Send a message to the pirates telling them that we have arrived at the location of the scheduled deal. ”

"But we don't have those kids anymore, these pirates. The first mate stopped talking.

"We have other things that we can trade, and although we are not children, we should be able to meet their needs. ”

"You mean the guests?"

"You go and give me the information about the passengers, and we should be able to find a suitable list. ”

"Yes, yes, Captain, one more thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Do you want to report the loss of our goods to White Eagle Harbor?"

"No need, just forget the forbidden items. ”

"That's right. ”

"Go get the list, it'll be for the pirates in a moment. ”

"Yes!"

The first mate smiled at each other when he heard this, and then he bowed and left the room. The captain breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the satellite phone on the table, and dialed a series of numbers.

The chef's private quarters.

Hank was sitting upright in his chair, carrying a bottle of wine in his hand, but he didn't take a sip.

At this time, Hank was looking at the old man who was kneeling on the ground with a serious face, and the old man couldn't speak because his mouth was blocked, so he could only glare at Hank angrily.
