All Heavens: Start with Monster Hunter

Chapter 112: Afterlife {Request for Subscription}
The car started and left the Wild Wolf Bar. Li Qing looked at V helplessly and handed him a bottle of water.

"Tell me, what's the situation?"

V didn't hesitate to take the water and drank it all in one gulp. After taking a long breath, he spoke:
"Just last night."

"I came to the Wolf Bar to have a drink, and on the way here I felt something was wrong."

“It feels like someone is always watching me.”

"Then I paid attention and found that there were indeed a few people following me."

After thinking for a while, V continued:

"But I feel like they're not sure if the thing is related to me, otherwise they would have already attacked me."

"I guess he has some clues, but he's not sure, so he's staring at me."

"Huh? That's not right!"

"Then if I ask you guys to come here, isn't that telling you directly that there is something wrong with me?"

V suddenly reacted, but it was obvious that she reacted a little late.

"So, if we are not suitable to use our brains, then we should just not use them." Li Qing sighed helplessly.

But in fact, Lee Sin is not much different from V. He may be a little smarter, but not much.

The only thing that Li Qing has more than V is the confidence to deal with most things, so now Li Qing is already thinking about how to do something good in this mess.

Like getting some technology or something.

Although the situation in the Monster Hunter World is somewhat special, many technologies in this world may not work in the Monster Hunter World.

But after all, the technological level of this world is high, which means that there are more research and development directions than Monster Hunter, so even if it cannot be used, providing a perhaps feasible idea is actually very helpful.

Of course, forget about the most advanced technology. There is a technological gap in between, and it is probably impossible to replicate it in Monster Hunter World, so Li Qing has already decided to get some relatively low-end technology to bring back.

Now the heart turmoil in Night City is a good opportunity.

"Boss, where are we going?"

After sitting in the car for a while, V felt a little restless.

The car just keeps driving forward without any destination, and is now almost out of Night City.

She had drunk some wine in the bar before, and then drank a bottle of water when she came out. After accumulating for a while, she now felt like peeing.

Li Qing stretched out his hand and pointed at the rear window:

"It's almost time. Let's find a quiet place. I have something to ask these people at the back."

"The one behind?"

v was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and looked back through the rear window. Sure enough, even on this sparsely populated road, there were still two cars following their car.

It seemed that he understood that Li Qing and the others had discovered him, so he did not hide it and even started to speed up in an attempt to intercept him.

"Okay, Vino, just stay here."

Looking around at the environment, I basically entered the wilderness. Only occasional patches of green could be seen on the bare surface.

The road is very smooth, but there are very few vehicles on it.

There is no trace of any technological products in the surrounding wilderness, let alone surveillance.

So Li Qing felt that this place was enough.

After opening the car door, Ciri and V got out first, followed by Li Qing, who stood beside the car waiting for the arrival of the two cars behind.

squeak--! !

The sudden braking caused the tires to leave a mark on the road. The gangsters in the two cars quickly got out, and seven or eight people with Asian faces walked up to Li Qing.

The leader had a long scar on his face and a conspicuous tattoo on his neck. He was obviously a typical Japanese gangster.

He pulled out a pistol from his pocket and aimed it at Li Qing:
"Hello, sir."

"We, the Tiger Claw Gang, want to learn something from you. We hope you can cooperate with us."

"Otherwise, you and your two beautiful female companions might suffer some bad things."

Li Qing couldn't help laughing.

He originally wanted to ask which force these people who were following him belonged to, whether they had any information about V, and further, whether they had any information about him.

But no one expected that the other party would blow up his own home as soon as he appeared.

If you think about it carefully, the other party's behavior seems quite normal.

After all, in Night City, apart from companies, these gangs control almost everything in the underground world.

Especially the Tiger Claw Gang, which is almost like a dog kept by Arasaka Corporation to do dirty work. The number of industries supported by Arasaka Corporation under their control is countless, and their members are even more crazy.

This time the item the owner wanted was lost, and they probably put a lot of effort into it, so they were able to quickly find v, which seemed to have nothing to do with the heart incident.

But they probably weren't completely sure, so they just sent people to keep an eye on it.

Who would have thought that a small pawn that was just being watched casually could actually come up with some clues.

Li Qing was not very interested in their questions and threats, so he did not answer his question, but turned his head to look at Ciri and V:

"You guys practice?"

"Or should I take care of it?"

Ciri and V looked at each other, and then she said, "Then you should show us a performance."

"Okay." Li Qing turned around and looked at the Tiger Claw Gang again, with some helplessness in his eyes: "It seems that your luck is not very good."

The leader of the Tiger Claw Gang had a look of surprise on his face, probably because he didn't expect Li Qing to be so tough.

But the next second, a hint of viciousness appeared on his face, and he aimed his pistol at Li Qing's calf:
"It seems that this gentleman is going to suffer a little!"

But just as he was about to shoot, a hand suddenly grabbed the muzzle of the gun he raised.

Then, under his incredible gaze, the gun body was crushed into powder bit by bit.

"you"

The scarred man took a step back in fear, a bad feeling coming over him, realizing that he might have gotten into trouble with someone powerful this time.

Just as he was about to call out to the brothers behind him to be careful and prepare to take action, suddenly a whistling sound was heard and a gust of wind blew past from behind.

The wind was so strong that he could hardly stand steadily. He stumbled and fell to his knees.

Li Qing's voice appeared clearly behind him in the strong wind:
"Now tell me, what do I want to eat?"

The scarred man trembled and slowly turned his head.

Then he felt his whole body was soaked with cold sweat in this short period of time, because in just one or two seconds, the group of brothers who were behind him just now had all fallen to the ground.

Broken limbs were scattered all over the ground, and blood dyed the ground red.

He was the only one left alive and breathing.

Regardless, death is something that few people can accept easily.

Although this scarred man is of Japanese descent, he does not have the so-called Bushido spirit, and committing suicide by seppuku is even more impossible for him.

The purpose of the Tiger Claw Gang is to make money and become a superior person. Anyone with a brain knows what is going on. This scarred man is not stupid. When faced with Li Qing's death threat, he did not even hesitate and decided to surrender.
Then he started to tell how he found v.

It’s quite interesting to talk about.

Because V was not killed because of any clues being exposed, nor because she was witnessed by others. It was just that someone saw that she seemed to have made money recently, and just when she had a heart attack, they reported V on the principle of rather killing someone by mistake than letting the guilty go.

After a temporary investigation by the Tiger Claw Gang, V has actually been cleared of suspicion.

After all, a street kid, especially a street kid whose identity and background are obvious, obviously has nothing to do with such a big thing.

The reason why some people are still eyeing her is because someone has set their eyes on V's money and wants to find an opportunity to rob her.

Unexpectedly, V was actually related to the heart incident. After realizing something was wrong, he quickly notified the Tiger Claw Gang, and Scarface Man and his gang chased after him.

In other words, if V didn't make a fuss, he could just hide for two days and maybe the matter would be over.

But it's her fault that she is inexperienced and has experienced little, so she can't handle it. After she found out that she was being followed, she panicked and this happened.

V noticed the way Ciri and Li Qing looked at him, and felt a little embarrassed:

"That's something I haven't experienced before."

"Next time, next time I will definitely take my time!"

Li Qing rolled her eyes. She wanted there to be a next time?

Ciri couldn't help but laugh and said jokingly, "Sister, is someone like you called a 'rookie' in Night City?"

v really couldn't hold it in any longer this time, so he quickly changed the subject and asked Li Qing:
"Boss, what should we do now?"

Hearing her question, Li Qing smiled lightly, and his eyes fell on the scarred man in front of him again, and asked:
"What is your position in the Tiger Claw Gang?"

"I am a team leader with more than a dozen people under me."

The scarred man quickly answered, not daring to hide anything: "But now there are less than ten left."

"If you say you found clues about the heart, will your superiors, or the people at Arasaka Corporation, believe you?"

"Of course I believe it, of course I believe it!" The scarred man was stunned. Although he didn't understand what Li Qing was going to do, he could tell that he didn't have to die.

"I came here just because I received an order. The higher-ups already knew about it, so it's not surprising to find clues!"

Li Qing touched his chin with one hand and nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing Li Qing's mysterious look, Xili couldn't help but ask, "So what are you going to do?"

"You can't really give them your heart, right?"

"Why not give it?" Li Qing asked curiously, and then saw Xili's expression turned cold.

I quickly pulled her aside and finished what I had not said:
"Ahem, I mean we really can't give it to you, but we can give you a fake one."

"Anyway, no one at Arasaka Corporation has ever seen what a heart looks like, so we can just make a random heart."

"Although I was accidentally exposed this time, it's not a big problem."

"vA nobody, she's obviously a lackey, I guess no one cares about her."

"As for our identities, they are probably not exposed, so why not take this opportunity to blackmail Arasaka? It just so happens that some of the things I need are not easy to get, and it will be much easier with Arasaka as my local tyrant." Ciri understood Li Qing's idea, but still raised a question: "But how can you believe that those people in Arasaka will believe that your heart is real?"

"Besides, what if something unexpected happens?"

Li Qing understood Ciri's concerns, but he really had no concerns:

"At worst, I can just flip the table."

Looking at Ciri, even though Ciri suddenly looked into Li Qing's eyes, she couldn't help but blush. After all, Li Qing's charm was really hard to resist.

"Don't underestimate my strength. If I get angry, Night City will tremble."

A hand was placed on Ciri's head. "Besides, you can travel through worlds, right? At worst, I can follow you back to your world, and help you solve the Wild Hunt issue."

Xili was silent for a moment, took away Li Qing's hand on her head, and nodded: "Okay, it's up to you."

She was actually a very opinionated person, but for some reason, she just couldn't bring herself to refuse Li Qing.

Li Qing walked back to the scarred man. He didn't want him to hear what they had just talked about, so naturally he couldn't hear it.

Without further ado, Li Qing said directly:
"You can talk to your boss right now and tell him that the heart is with me and that I am ready to make a deal with Arasaka Corporation."

"But I decide when and where the transaction will take place."

"As for the trade, let the people from Arasaka Corporation discuss it with me."

Li Qing raised his head and looked at the scarred man:

"As for you, just be my contact person for now."

"Whether you live or die in the end depends on how smart you are."

The scarred man was trembling all over, but he knew that he was lucky enough to be alive, so he quickly nodded and agreed:
"I understand, I understand!"

"I understand. Vino, take him and deal with it. Don't leave any traces." Li Qing nodded, signaled Vino driver to look after the scarred man, and then walked to Ciri and V.

But as soon as he walked over, Li Qing noticed that there was something wrong with the look in V's eyes.

How to put it specifically, it's like watching a scumbag.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Li Qing touched his face and couldn't help but ask.

"Cut~!"

V shook her head in disdain. She did not answer Li Qing, but looked at Xili: "I thought that you and I could be good sisters, but I didn't expect that you would be captured by a man so easily."

Xili crossed her arms, looked at him and smiled, saying, "If you don't mind, you can join in. I don't mind."

When V heard Ciri say this, the disdain on her face became more obvious, and the two most cultural words that came out of her mouth were probably: "Promiscuous!"

Li Qing couldn't help but slap her on the head:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I, your boss, am single, and Ciri is also single. What do you think of us being together?"

v originally had some objections, but in front of Li Qing's big slap, the original objections easily disappeared.

Li Qing didn't argue too much with V. Now it was more important to do business and he had no time to play around with her.

After Winoski and the scarred man simply cleaned up the bodies on the ground, they quickly left the place.

After returning to his residence, Li Qing tied up the scarred man and locked him in a room. Then he started writing down his demands with a pen in the hall.

According to the window opening theory that Li Qing had learned before, Li Qing decided to ask for the biggest prize first.

First, they asked for cash, directly asking for 10 billion euros.

The second is technical data and high-end prostheses.

V even made a special call to Lao Wei and asked for all the high-end prosthetics that he knew and had heard of.

There are also various production lines and various firearms data technologies.

Anyway, when this information fell into the hands of the scar-faced man and he was asked to contact his superiors, the scar-faced man, an uneducated gangster, realized that this was completely impossible.

If all of Li Qing's demands were met, it would probably cause a shock inside Arasaka Corporation.

If Li Qing gets these things, he will have no problem opening a small Arasaka.

This can no longer be considered extortion, it can be considered a direct confiscation of property!
The scarred man was almost scared to tears, but he suppressed his fear and put forward his own opinion:
"Well, big brother, how about we reduce it a little bit?"

"If the other side saw this, they would probably think we don't want to trade anymore."

"Forehead"

Li Qing felt a little embarrassed when he heard him say that, and turned to look at V and Ciri who were giving him advice.

Ciri had no idea what this world was like, so she just nodded at whatever Li Qing said.

V didn't quite understand, but she dared to bring up anything she heard about it.

And Winoski understood a little bit, but he obviously had no opinion on what Li Qing did. In his opinion, it would be reasonable even if Saburo Arasaka directly gave up his position to his boss.

So it was not until the conditions were about to be delivered that the scarred man raised the question.

"Well, it seems that some of it should be cut down."

Li Qing was a man who listened to advice. He decided to revise the terms and lowered all the conditions by 90%. Only then did the scarred man pass the message to his superior.

Then soon, a reply came from the other side:

[Yes, time and place. ]

"So smooth?" Li Qing received the reply and raised his eyebrows in disbelief: "You didn't even bargain?"

"Maybe it's because these are nothing to Arasaka."

A trace of cold sweat appeared on the scarred man's forehead.

As a member of the Tiger Claw Gang, he has some understanding of the gang's and Arasaka Corporation's operating styles.

These people are greedy and cruel to their core.

If you want them to bleed, and bleed heavily, then no heart can do that, no matter how precious the heart is.

Sometimes, for a company, dignity and voice are more important.

Because if the authority disappears over the people below and the right to speak is no longer so effective, it means that Arasaka's control over the city has weakened.

So the reason why no counter-offer was made is very simple, that is, no one wants to give anything.

In other words, even if they pay something, as long as they can get the heart, they have the ability to get back everything they paid.

But in this case, it’s hard to say what will happen to Li Qing and the others, he is dead anyway!

But the scarred man knew what Arasaka meant, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

If he says it out loud, and these people feel he is useless, then his end will be death.

"Really?" Li Qing smiled and didn't say anything else.

After discussing with Ciri and V, they decided on the location.

The location is set at the Next Life Bar and the time is tomorrow night.

Now that the time and place have been decided, all that’s left is to wait.

After all, Lee Sin and others don't need to prepare anything, and he doesn't need V, Ciri or anyone else's help. He alone is enough to deal with Arasaka's people.

A day passed in the blink of an eye and the sky turned dark again.

This time, Li Qing did not use Vinokki to send him off, but walked slowly to the location of the Next Life Bar alone.

Then he stopped at the door and looked up at the two strong men standing in front of him.

Afterlife Bar, as a legendary bar in Night City, only those who have made a name for themselves in the underworld are qualified to enter.

But it is obvious that Li Qing has no reputation in Night City.

And just like the first time he went to the Wild Wolf Bar, the two security guards at the Laisheng Bar could tell at a glance that Li Qing was different from the people who hung out at the bottom.

If this kind of person enters the Laisheng bar and faces the mercenaries who emerged from the pile of corpses, he will most likely cause trouble.

So when Li Qing approached, the two strong men stretched out their hands at the same time and blocked Li Qing:
"Sir, you need to be a member to enter here. You are not a member here, please leave."

Li Qing looked at the two men, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

It is worthy of being called the Next Life Bar. Even the security guard at the door is more educated than that at the Wild Wolf Bar, and his rejection is more convincing.

Look, no membership, what an acceptable reason.

However, Li Qing was not here to talk nonsense, nor was he in the mood to show off his abilities with these small fry. He stretched out two fingers to attract the attention of the two men.

A gesture that had not been used for a long time was made.

“Axii.”

In an instant, the two security guards who had looked serious just now were stunned at the same time, and then their eyes became dazed, and the seriousness just now disappeared without a trace.

He respectfully took a step back to make way, opened the door of the Next Life Bar, and invited people in.

"Thank you both."

This was the first time Li Qing used this seal on someone after learning it.

I have to say that the effect far exceeded expectations.

But Li Qing felt that it might also have something to do with his high attributes.

After all, he has 19 points of perception, 16 points of intelligence, and 18 points of charm. If it weren't for his physical condition that prevents him from coming into contact with magic, Li Qing feels that it wouldn't be a problem for him to work part-time as a mage.

As he walked into the Next Life Bar, the shining lights immediately shone on Li Qing.

Sitting in the corridor, a dozen fully armed mercenaries immediately turned their eyes to Li Qing.

After seeing Li Qing's image, some people frowned, while others' eyes lit up, whistled at Li Qing, stood up and blocked Li Qing.

Some other people also perked up and looked over, with smiles on their faces.

It seemed as if there was a good show to watch.

　Why are there no recommended votes recently?
