Chapter 349 Countdown
Chapter 349 Countdown
Honestly.
Lu Chihuan had never expected this.
Not only did he have to worry about being secretly coveted by the protagonists at the Dunson Military Academy, but after joining the Pirates, he also had to be on guard against the pirate leader taking a fancy to him.
God!
Is it true that he doesn't have the physique of a succubus?
and many more.
The pirate leader will not force himself on him, right? Then he will either obey or not, and he doesn't know if he can win if a fight really breaks out.
All of a sudden.
Lu Chihuan fell into deep thought.
Until his companion stretched out his hand in front of him and waved it a few times, looking puzzled, and said in a teasing voice, "What are you daydreaming about?"
"Won't--"
"Are you thinking about the person who treats you well?"
talking.
He raised his head and looked around.
After making sure that no one was eavesdropping on their conversation, he gently nudged Lu Chihuan's shoulder and deliberately lowered his voice, "And more."
"The person who is so nice to you..."
"It won't be the leader, will it?"
Lu Chihuan stared at him with his round eyes, with a bit of disbelief in his eyes, like a cat whose fur stood on end after its tail was stepped on.
He couldn't hide the emotions on his face.
therefore.
It's like he's asking you how you knew that.
The companion immediately laughed, "The leader showed it so obviously, basically everyone in our Ghost Pirates knows it."
"I heard that some people even opened a gambling game privately."
"Let's bet on when you will succumb to the leader's advances and agree to be with him.
talking.
He stretched out his hand and gestured again.
"Most of the people in our Ghost Star Pirates have participated in this gambling game. The amount of money has now reached 50 million star coins, and there is a possibility that it will increase in the future."
"at present."
“The two options that people bet on the most are half a month and one month.”
Lu Chihuan: ...
He pinched his sore brows.
He drank a sip of the almost cold tea to calm himself down, then faced his companion's eager gaze and asked helplessly:
"No one is betting..."
"Don't you agree to the option the leader is pursuing?"
"No."
The companion answered without hesitation.
"Although the leader always wears a dark mask and you can't really see what he looks like, he is one in a million in terms of both strength and financial resources. With him, you can basically go anywhere with ease."
"so."
"Everyone guessed you wouldn't refuse."
After he finished speaking, he touched the tip of his nose again in embarrassment, "To be honest."
"I also participated in the gambling."
"So, Lu Huan, as the person involved, can you give me some inside information?"
Facing the expectant eyes of companions.
The corners of Lu Chihuan's lips twitched involuntarily, and his eyes were filled with speechlessness.
“There is no inside information.”
"But I suggest you withdraw from this gambling game as soon as possible, otherwise you will definitely lose everything you have invested and be left with nothing."
"What do you mean?"
The companion was confused after hearing this.
However, no matter how he asked, Lu Chihuan refused to reveal a single word.
soon.
The two of them finished their meal.
Lu Chihuan followed his companions to the Ghost Pirates' spaceship repair area and visited it for more than ten minutes, and managed to understand the structure of the place.
After this.
He returned to his room.
He completely burned the small note that the undercover agent of the Firebird Pirates had slipped to him.
Completed!
Lu Chihuan cleaned up the ashes.
He washed his hands while humming a tuneless song, and then started his day's work again.
At this moment.
He entered the leader's room with ease and tidied up the processed documents and slightly messy desk for him, taking advantage of this rare opportunity.
Lu Chihuan pursed his lips.
He glanced around the room secretly from the corner of his eye, trying to see where the mother stone might be hidden.
The chief's room is huge.
But there isn't a lot of stuff in there.
He was not as extravagant as other pirates, decorating his room with jewelry and works of art all day long. On the contrary, the leader did not seem to have any special preferences, so the walls and cabinets were empty.
Gives a feeling of...
An elusive feeling.
You can see the bottom of this room in just a few glances, and if you look closely... there is no place to hide the mother stone.
Is it possible?
Did the leader put the mother stone on his body?
If that's the case, it's probably over.
After all, it was impossible for him to just pounce on the leader and then touch him all over.
“…What are you looking for?”
A low and slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded in Lu Chihuan's ears.
He turned his head.
Then he faced a pitch-black mask.
Lu Chihuan:!
He held his heart.
Subconsciously took a few steps back.
However, there happened to be a chair behind the desk. When his lower back hit it, his foot was accidentally tripped by the chair and he staggered and was about to fall.
But the next moment.
Lu Chihuan quickly stretched out his hand.
He quickly grabbed the thing in front of him and hurriedly stabilized his body which was about to lose balance.
"hey-hey."
"I didn't fall."
Lu Chihuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He wrinkled his nose proudly again, and a bit of cunning appeared in his bright black eyes, making him look like a little fox with its tail raised.
After all, he is such a grown-up.
If I fall flat on my face in front of the leader, I will probably be too embarrassed to face anyone again.
only.
When he saw clearly what he was holding in his hand...it was actually the clothes on the leader's chest, his fingers seemed to be burned by the scorching flames.
Now he quickly let go of her hand.
Then he stammered, "Chief, I, I didn't... didn't mean to..."
Fortunately, his grip wasn't particularly strong.
if not.
The leader's shirt and buttons might be torn off by accident.
"It's ok."
Lu Minghe smiled.
He considerately moved the chair that tripped Lu Chihuan to the other side, and then calmly replied, "I'm glad I was able to help you just now."
not to mention.
The clothes were just a little wrinkled.
In this situation, he was even more reluctant to see Huanhuan fall to the ground. If Huanhuan had not taken the initiative to extend a hand, he would have helped.
Hear these words.
Lu Chihuan suddenly recalled the two possibilities that his companion had mentioned before.
Suddenly.
He shifted on his toes somewhat uncomfortably.
He secretly created some distance between the two of them, and then slowly answered the leader's question, "I'm not looking for anything."
"Just a little curious."
"Captain, why is there no decoration in your room? I read in novels that the rooms of space pirate bosses are all magnificent and glittering with gold. Once you enter, the light of gold and jewels can illuminate the room."
Lu Minghe raised his eyebrows.
He keenly noticed Lu Chihuan's dodge.
What's going on here?
Could it be that someone else said something inappropriate or unpleasant to Huanhuan?
First of all.
He began to suspect Chi Hu.
You have to know that Chihu is not only a talkative person, but also often cannot control his mouth.
and so.
He has the greatest possibility.
But even though he was distracted by these things, he still answered Lu Chihuan's question seriously, "I'm actually not that keen on these things."
"Although."
"I get a share of the spoils every time."
"But most of the time I just take a look at it and throw it into the box. If you like it, I can give it to you."
Lu Minghe took out a small box from the drawer.
Once opened.
The dazzling gems, mellow pink and exquisite gold ornaments inside instantly burst into sparkling light. They look so exquisite that it is almost impossible to take your eyes off them.
"These……"
Lu Chihuan pointed at himself.
Then he asked in disbelief, "You're giving all these things to me?"
Lu Minghe nodded.
The pair of eyes under his mask looked at Lu Chihuan tenderly, and he pushed the box out with his bony fingers, "You can take them all if you like."
"Except for these things."
"Are there any other things you like?"
Lu Chihuan was stunned when he heard this.
He immediately began to have some tentative thoughts.
So now he deliberately answered, "I heard that there is a most precious stone in the world, called mother stone, which contains infinite power."
"You can even travel through time."
"If possible, I would really like to see this mother stone to see if it is really that magical."
As he spoke, he looked at the leader secretly.
Her eyes fell on his face covered with a dark mask, not missing any movement of his gaze.
"but."
"I heard that the mother stone is rare and hard to find."
"Leader, you don't have this thing, right?"
Lu Minghe knew it without thinking.
Huanhuan probably also wants to use the power of the mother stone to return to her own world like him.
"What a coincidence."
He took out the mother stone fragment from his storage ring and handed it to Lu Chihuan. "I actually found a mother stone not long ago."
"But after careful study, I found that this mother stone is probably not complete, so it cannot exert its full power... and now I can't use it."
"so."
"You can play with it."
Lu Chihuan was stunned when he saw the leader throwing the mother stone over so casually.
This is the mother stone.
Something that almost all races in the universe are eager to obtain.
The leader actually gave it to him as if he was throwing a fun toy.
This is too generous!
but.
Don't want it for nothing.
Lu Chihuan never thought that his task could be completed so easily.
No.
After he returns to the room, he must verify whether the mother stone fragment given by the leader is real. If it is real, he will run away safely.
"leader."
"Thank you so much!"
Lu Chihuan curved his beautiful eyes.
At this moment, he was very sweet-mouthed, and nice words came out of his mouth like they were free. He looked like a glutinous rice dumpling filled with strawberry.
Sweet and sticky.
It makes you want to take a bite.
Lu Minghe was coaxed into a very good mood.
Even through the mask, one could sense his satisfaction. He reached out and rubbed Lu Chihuan's soft black hair, then spoke in a gentle voice:
"You're welcome."
It was hard to stay up until get off work.
Lu Chihuan quickly returned to his room and began to check whether the piece of mother stone fragment in his hand was real or fake. The method of checking was actually quite simple.
That is to take out the other mother stone fragments.
See if they still have the same inexplicable attraction to each other as before.
Because I was too nervous.
Lu Chihuan couldn't help but hold his breath.
next moment.
He saw that the three pieces of mother stone in his hand had been fit together tightly under the inexplicable attraction, and were now flashing a warm light under the light.
it turns out--
it is true!
Lu Chihuan was very excited.
Now that he has obtained the mother stone, it seems that he must hurry up and plan how to escape.
