Traveling Frog: Burning Fruit at the Start

Unidentified item?

This was the first time Liu Xia had seen this word.

Judging from his many years of gaming experience, this bead must be unusual.

【Appraisal】

Liu Xia chose this without hesitation.

At this time, the system prompts again [2000 clovers need to be consumed, do you want to continue? 】

After taking a look at the few clovers, Liu Xia gritted his teeth and chose to continue.

Small wealth cannot come out, and big wealth cannot come in.

Fight!

[Clover deduction completed, identification begins...]

Immediately, Liu Xia found that the beads in his hand became a little hot, approaching the limit that his palm could bear.

Just when he was about to lose the bead, the system prompt sounded again in his mind.

[Ding dong, the identification is completed. The host can check it by himself. 】

Liu Xia quickly entered the system warehouse, where there was a bead with the same appearance as his hand.

[Beast God Soul Bead: Condensed by the Beast God himself, it has the effect of quickly improving the cultivation of ferocious beasts. It can also be used by humans, and can control ferocious beasts through it. The disadvantage is that he will become a slave of the beast god. 】

Servant of the Beast God?

This word caught Liu Xia's attention.

Could it be that the old employer has become a slave of the beast god?

Liu Xia couldn't help but have such a thought flashing through her mind.

But the only doubt now is how many people know about the existence of the Beast God.

If I tell the organization this situation rashly, will it cause unnecessary trouble to myself?

After all, the information I obtained in the two scrolls would be absolutely explosive if released.

"Liu Xia, why are you stunned? Let's go!"

Mr. Chu realized that Liu Xia had not followed him and quickly turned to call him.

"Oh...I...I'm coming!"

Liu Xia quickly put the soul bead into his pocket and walked up quickly...

Suburban villa.

Mr. Chu sat on the sofa with an angry face, staring at the employer in front of him.

"Old man, your information is not kind! Why is there a ferocious beast that has almost broken through to S level? You need to give me an explanation for this."

The old man took his time and handed two cups of tea to Mr. Chu and Liu Xia with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Chu, don't be angry. I don't know about this. It's my fault that you two were almost injured."

"More money, I'm willing to give you two more money. 1,000 intermediate spirit stones, okay?"

Looking at the old man's smiling face, Liu Xia unconsciously had the thought of 'how hypocritical'.

He quickly took out a palm-sized notebook from the system space and put it into his pocket.

When he heard the extra money, Mr. Chu's mood immediately eased.

He took the tea from his employer and took a sip.

"For the sake of your generosity, I won't argue with you."

The old man immediately echoed, "Definitely! Definitely!"

After comforting Mr. Chu, the old man turned his attention to Liu Xia.

"Mr. Liu, I wonder if you found round beads in the mine?"

"Is this what you're talking about?"

Liu Xia took out the Beast God Soul Bead from his pocket, spread his palm and handed it to the old man.

Suddenly, a flash of excitement flashed in the old man's eyes.

When he was about to reach out to take it, Liu Xia suddenly pulled his hand away and avoided the old man's movement.

"Mr. Liu, what are you..."

Although the old man tried his best to hide it, Liu Xia still caught the flash of resentment in the other person's eyes at that moment.

He must know something!

With Nico Robin's diary in hand, Liu Xia's analytical ability has improved dramatically, and she has even thought of several plans to test the old man in her mind.

"It's like this. I feel very connected to this bead. I would like to ask if I can use it to deduct my reward."

Liu Xia's words stunned the old man. He didn't expect Liu Xia to make such a request.

"This... I'm not stingy. It's just that this bead is an heirloom of my family. I accidentally lost it in the mine last time, so I hope Mr. Liu can help me find it."

"How about I give Mr. Liu extra money?"

Liu Xia's reaction stunned Mr. Chu on the side.

As a veteran of Jianghu, he immediately noticed something unusual here.

Immediately, he changed to a more comfortable position and leaned on the back of the sofa, as if watching a show.

"It's not about money. You know I'm the night watchman, right?"

"Then what do you think my duties are?"

Liu Xia's expression changed and she stared at the old man very seriously.

"Mr. Chu, this matter...can you please communicate with Mr. Liu for me?"

The old man looked at Mr. Chu in embarrassment.

The latter smiled slightly, but still had an expression that seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"My matter is finished, how about you guys talk about it yourself?"

With that said, Mr. Chu stood up and simply walked towards the door.

It's like he's afraid of getting into trouble.

Liu Xia and the old man just watched Mr. Chu leave, both of them were stunned.

Just when Liu Xia wanted to call him out, Mr. Chu's voice sounded in his ears.

"You can make your own decisions regarding your night watchman matters."

"I won't help him, and I won't help you either."

Upon hearing this, the smart Liu Xia immediately understood what he meant.

"Old sir, we are the only two left now, let's have a good chat."

"Hey~" The old man sighed helplessly and waved for Liu Xia to sit down first.

"This bead is not actually mine. I found it when I was digging a mine."

When miners were mining minerals, they accidentally dug up this bead.

Originally they just decided it looked good and put it in their pocket.

Then the bad news began.

The mine began to be actively occupied by ferocious beasts. At first, he thought it was just an isolated incident, but as the incidents became more and more frequent, the old man finally realized that something was unusual.

It wasn't until the last clearing out plan that the escaped awakener told him that there was a strange bead in the cave, which attracted the old man's attention.

"Do you know what this bead is?" Liu Xia asked.

A trace of hesitation flashed in the latter's eyes before he spoke slowly.

"This...I'm not sure. I also want to take it back and try to study it."

He lied!

Liu Xia is very sure.

"Don't you want to use it to control the beast?"

"Ah?" The old man glanced at Liu Xia in surprise. He didn't expect Liu Xia to directly tell the purpose of the beads.

At this time, Liu Xia was completely sure that the old man wanted to use this bead to control the ferocious beast.

"Hey! Young people, sometimes it's really not good to know too much."

The old man tapped his fingers on the table, and instantly several breaths directly locked onto Liu Xia.

"Do you know why Mr. Chu is leaving?"

Liu Xia shook his head cooperatively.

"This is because he knows how to advance and retreat. It's better to pretend to understand some things in your heart, but speaking out will only make everyone feel uncomfortable."

"Mr. Liu Xia, do you think so?"

The old man's regretful expression seemed to say that Liu Xia didn't understand the ways of the world.

"I'm sorry, I am a night watchman, and my status requires that I cannot turn a blind eye."

"So, old sir, are you going to be an enemy of our night watchmen?"
