Chapter 471: Northern Alliance
Li Defu and his team are going to do something big.
He didn't say what it was specifically.
Su Xia didn't ask much. After all, for those guys in the dormitory, even going out to bask in the sun was a big deal.
They are responsible for the alliance's affairs, and Su Xia only needs to provide potions and does not need to think too much.
"Do you want me to take action?" Su Xia asked casually.
"No need, Brother Su, just get us some poison, the more poisonous the better, and you don't have to worry about anything else." Li Defu replied.
"All right."
After chatting for a few words, Su Xia made a list of more than ten kinds of precious poisons and antidotes in the pharmacy, and sent it to Li Defu, asking them to come and get them when they were free.
After that, Su Xia took the bottle of wine and took the initiative to chat with everyone to make the atmosphere more harmonious.
The sounds of people laughing, the sizzling of barbecue, the clinking of wine bottles and so on mixed together and echoed in the restaurant at midnight, filling it with the flavor of human life and being extremely lively.
"Don't drink too much, we still have to open for business tomorrow."
Su Xia patted the two Bafu's big bellies with a smile on her face.
It was already one o'clock in the morning.
The entire old street, except for restaurants and pharmacies, has been closed and it is very quiet.
The thick night enveloped the area, and the temperature continued to drop at night.
At this moment, at the end of the quiet street, four men of different heights in black were quietly hiding in the darkness, watching everything that happened in the hotel with cold eyes.
The four of them were the ones who had written the death threat letter to Su Xia before. They had wanted to get rid of Su Xia yesterday morning, but because of the leaflets of Sijidao, they gave up the plan.
But what happened next was beyond their expectations.
They didn't expect that the man named Wang Yongqiang was such a waste. He couldn't even break Su Xia's defense. He was simply a useless trash.
In fact, he is not even as good as garbage.
The garbage on the roadside could at least disgust Su Xia, but he just added a lot of jokes.
This made the four brothers feel very depressed. After all, they all wanted to see Su Xia ruined, but in the end they just watched a joke.
This joke is not particularly funny to them.
Their plans had to change with the failure of Four Seasons Rice.
"Boss, are we going to take action tonight?" the third man in the team asked in a low voice.
"Yes, boss, let's kill that bastard Su Xia tonight!" The fourth brother agreed. He had planned to do it in the alley yesterday morning, but was stopped by the team leader.
He thought that his abilities in assassination and stealth were first-rate. It would only take him a few seconds to kill a fragile pharmacist. He came and went as fast as the wind and left immediately after killing.
Now they are in the dark, while Su Xia is in the light, this is their biggest advantage .
"Boss, what are you still thinking about?"
Seeing that the eldest brother didn't speak for a long time, the fourth brother couldn't help but ask.
To be able to become the leader of a team, one must have outstanding qualities, such as a calm personality, excellent analytical skills, the ability to make decisions at critical moments, etc.
The middle-aged man in the lead had a calm expression as he stood in the darkness, his entire body seeming to blend into the night.
He stared at the restaurant in the distance, and after a moment's silence, he slowly said, "That Su Xia actually sat with a group of ordinary workers to eat and drink, and they were talking and laughing. He didn't seem to be arrogant, and he didn't mind the workers' dirty clothes or their low status. He even offered them wine. I didn't expect that."
"What's the big deal? Boss, we can do it too!" The third member of the team disagreed.
"Yes, didn't we brothers often go to the construction site canteen to eat? Third brother even worked as a cement worker for a few months!" The fourth brother didn't think there was anything strange.
"No, third brother, fourth brother, this is different." The second man in the team spoke. He usually spoke little, but at this moment he suddenly spoke.
"Yeah, it's definitely different." The team leader nodded slightly.
"Hmph, it's just a show. Who can't do that?" The third brother spoke again, thinking that Su Xia was putting on a show.
This kind of thing is not uncommon, and it is something that many powerful people in Coral City often do.
As long as you turn on the TV and switch to the news channel, you can see that the minister of a certain department has gone to the slums to deliver supplies, or you can see that a kind-hearted entrepreneur is donating money to the poor.
In this kind of situation, everyone knows that it is a show, but they just keep it to themselves and few say it out loud.
How much of the donated money can actually reach the hands of poor people?
The third and fourth brothers are both somewhat cynical and can't stand hypocritical showmanship. Every time they see that kind of stuff on TV, they want to pick up a knife and kill those fake things.
In fact, they did kill some.
But it's no use.
There are few good people among the new people in power, and some may even be worse than their predecessors.
"Boss, that bastard Su Xia is a very scheming person. I don't know how many complicated thoughts he has in his head. Maybe he did it on purpose to show off to others." The third brother said.
"Yes, Boss, you saw it this afternoon. That bastard fooled Wang Yongqiang with just a few words." The fourth brother immediately agreed, "Speaking of which, Wang Yongqiang is not a good guy either. He and Su Xia are just fighting each other."
In response to their words, the team leader just shook his head slightly, his eyes deep, and didn't say anything.
The second-ranked man spoke up: "Third brother, fourth brother, do you think Su Xia is putting on a show?"
"Of course!" the third brother said affirmatively.
"But there are no media reporters here. Who is he putting on a show for?" the man asked.
"Of course it's done for these workers to see. After they go back, will they tell other workers about what happened tonight? Will they tell their families about it?" said the fourth brother.
"The fourth brother is right! Second brother, that bastard Su Xia must want to take the bottom route and use this method to whitewash himself step by step!" The third brother nodded heavily.
He narrowed his eyes, a murderous look flashed in his gaze, and kept looking at the restaurant in the old street.
The atmosphere in the shop was still lively, with everyone talking and laughing, just like a family. Although they had different professions, ages and classes, there was not much barrier between them.
Some workers were rather reserved earlier and couldn't relax in front of Su Xia, but under the influence of alcohol, the workers, whose faces turned red from drinking, had long since thrown away their reservedness.
"If that bastard Su Xia wants to save his reputation, even if it's not for those workers, but just for Su Jianshe, he must treat us to dinner tonight!"
"Su Jianshe is one of the ministers with the best reputation in Coral City. With him speaking for Su Xia, how can Su Xia's reputation be bad?"
"Looking at Su Jianshe's expression, he has probably been deceived by the superficial persona created by Su Xia..."
The two spoke again and again, and with just a few words, they gave a very reasonable motive for Su Xia's behavior.
Indeed, Su Jianshe has a very good reputation.
Many people in this city want to have a good relationship with him, but not everyone has the opportunity.
Even if he could find an opportunity, he might not necessarily get Su Jianshe's approval. After all, his eyes were quite sharp and he could see what many people were thinking at a glance.
"Third brother, fourth brother, don't always use your own thoughts to speculate about others." The team leader suddenly spoke in a low voice without any emotion.
"Boss, just tell me whether we should fight tonight or not?" the third brother couldn't help but ask.
"Wait a little longer!" The team leader shook his head slightly.
"How long do we have to wait?" The fourth brother couldn't help asking, "Boss, we brothers have stayed in this broken city long enough. If it weren't for killing that bastard Su Xia, we should have gone to look for Master Dad long ago."
"Let's observe for a few more days. It won't be too late to take action after the exchange conference is over. We don't lack this time." The team leader said in a deep voice.
"Okay, you're the boss, I'll listen to you..."
The third brother shrugged, obviously unhappy, but didn't say much.
As a normal team, disagreements are common.
Even biological brothers with the same father and mother would have conflicts, let alone a group of brothers like them who came together from all over the world.
The fourth brother also felt a little uncomfortable. He kept staring at Su Xia and clenched and unclenched his fists several times.
He thought he could kill Su Xia instantly within five seconds.
Waiting any longer would just be a waste of time.
However, what he didn't know was that all the content of their conversation had been recorded by Su Xia.
They were looking at Su Xia, and Su Xia was also looking at them!
…
In the restaurant, Su Xia sat at the table with a bottle of wine and took two sips casually.
"Kill me within five seconds?" He smiled and shook his head slightly, somewhat admiring the courage of the fourth brother.
Assassinating a fifth-level creature and a fifth-level pharmacist is indeed courageous.
If the fourth brother knew the truth, I wonder what his expression would be like.
Su Xia wanted to win back the four brothers. After all, he had too few men under his command. But it was not the right time yet. Everything had to wait until after the exchange conference.
The most important thing at the moment is still the matter between the Nanfeng Organization and Wang Teng.
Time passed slowly and it was two o'clock in the morning.
This lively midnight snack came to an end.
The entire restaurant was filled with beer bottles, roughly speaking, there were nearly two hundred bottles, which made Su Xia secretly shocked. On average, each worker had to drink seven or eight bottles.
Su Xia directly transferred a sum of money to Boss Zhao and told him to deduct it from this amount and to let him know when the money was not enough.
Afterwards, Su Jianshe and his workers set out on the journey back.
The group of people were all drunk. To ensure their safety, Su Xia called a team of security personnel from the security department to escort them all the way home.
The children go to bed early because they are still growing and need enough sleep.
After a while, both girls, Yi Mo and Shen Yu, returned to the pharmacy yawning.
They all ate a lot tonight and seemed not to care about their figure at all, as their stomachs were bulging.
"Master Su, you should go to bed early too." Before leaving, Yi Mo greeted Su Xia with a smile.
"good."
Su Xia responded casually.
Finally, only he and the two Beatitudes were left.
The three of them said something to Boss Zhao, returned to the pharmacy, tidied up the first floor of the store, and then went back to the second floor one by one.
The hustle and bustle faded away, and tranquility gradually surrounded the small shop.
Su Xia lay on the familiar bed, with her hands behind her head, looking calmly at the night sky outside the window. The map of the southwest direction of the continent and the location of town number seven kept appearing in her mind.
"Time is running out. I have to go to the town to familiarize myself with the environment in the next two days. It would be best if we can rescue them in advance, so that we don't have to worry about anything later."
Su Xia pondered over what to do next and gradually made up her mind.
After a while, he closed the window, turned on the bracelet, and clicked to log off.
The body on Earth is also hungry, and the hunger level is a little high because I didn't eat lunch or dinner yesterday.
The dormitory was quiet. Several roommates had not returned yet, most of them were out having a midnight snack.
"I don't know how Li Sihua's relationship is going."
Su Xia got out of bed, took out two boxes of biscuits from her cabinet, then returned to bed and ate biscuits while browsing the game's official website and forum.
The hottest topic on the forum right now is, of course, the farce that happened on Coral City Old Street yesterday afternoon.
Su Xia was an eyewitness and had no interest in this topic.
He continued to read on and found that the second hot topic was quite special, it was about a strange map.
Some players discovered a very special crack in the vast snowfield in the northern part of the continent. Following the crack down, you can see all kinds of underground monsters, and you can also find some treasures every few distances.
Now, those treasures have caused scrambles among player organizations in various cities in the north.
Several large organizations had a dispute outside the rift, and then started fighting, which has continued until now, and they are all blood-thirsty.
[Will the true King of the North emerge in this melee? ]
Someone created a very interesting topic.
In dozens of cities in the northern part of the continent, there are countless player organizations of all sizes.
Some organizations are similar to the Bikini Bottom team and have the potential to become the number one team, but there are still many teams that are secretly dissatisfied.
Even though the major organizations in the north have formed an alliance, there are still many internal conflicts.
Therefore, some players speculated that this melee might produce the true top team in the North.
"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"The first team in the southwest has been chosen. It's the Bikini Bottom team. Even the old hand Sijidao can't beat them."
"It's time for a true king to be born in our Northern Alliance!"
“…”
Countless players spoke up on this topic, some were excited, some were a bit immature, and some just wanted to watch the show.
The popularity of this topic continues to soar, and it is almost surpassing the topic of the Bikini Bottom team.
Su Xia was also happy to see this.
Players who are scattered as a group lack fighting power, but it will be different if they come together.
"The sooner the top teams from all over the mainland emerge, the better, and the stronger they are, the better."
Su Xia moved her index finger lightly, scrolling the mouse and browsing various hot topics.
About half an hour later, Mo put down the biscuits, restarted the bracelet, and returned to the game world.
…
The second floor of the pharmacy was still quiet.
Su Xia opened her eyes and looked at the time. It was not yet four in the morning.
There is still some time before dawn.
He got up from the bed, turned on the desk lamp on his desk, and used this little time to start writing the draft of the pharmacist textbook.
The specific content of the teaching materials had been basically determined during his time under the sea. Now he just needed to simplify it to ensure that the children could understand it.
With the support of two books of experience, Su Xia found it very easy to compile teaching materials without having to think too much.
"It used to take me 40 to 50 minutes to write an 800-word essay, but now it's so easy to write a textbook..."
Thinking of this, Su Xia couldn't help but sigh.
Time passed slowly and more than two hours went by in a flash.
The sky outside the window was getting brighter, and a fresh morning breeze drifted into the room, gently brushing Su Xia's hair.
Su Xia glanced at the sky outside the window, then put down the pen in her hand.
"A new day..."
He slowly stood up, pulled out the old wooden chair behind him, and then stretched hard.
There are only two days left before the trial at dusk in Town No. 7.
"It's time to go take a look."
