Chapter 235 The Innkeeper's Secret
Chapter 235: The Secret of the Hotel Owner
He was transferred back to the hotel in Bingzao Town through the Starry Express Cabin again. As soon as Ge Xuan appeared in the master room, he was informed by Phoenix that Sapphire was visiting.
"That disgusting sissy is here again! I said you are not here, but he didn't give up and insisted on waiting outside." Phoenix said disgustedly.
Ge Xuan really didn't understand why his own aircraft was so inconsistent with Sapphire, but he didn't blame Fenghuang and walked outward.
When I saw Sapphire again, I found that he was wearing a heroic team leader's dress, heroic and sassy, no longer extremely feminine, and his whole body showed a neutral beauty, which was very attractive.
Phoenix noticed Ge Xuan's admiring gaze, and couldn't help but snorted, muttering: "The fake girl can dress up even more than a real woman!"
Sapphire pretended not to hear this, smiled and greeted Ge Xuan: "Brother, are you busy? By the way, why did you come out of the hotel owner's room?"
"I just took down this hotel."
When Sapphire heard this, her pair of peach blossom eyes shining and asked with some anticipation: "Brother, have you become the new owner of this hotel? So, what about the original owner?"
Ge Xuan didn't know what he was looking forward to, but according to fact, he said: "That man was killed in the beast disaster."
Sapphire suddenly became excited, clenched her pink fist and waved it gently, saying, "Brother, this is great!"
Ge Xuan looked at him in confusion.
"No! I'm not gloating," Sapphire twisted her slender waist and explained, "You must have known now that the leader was my sister first. After the death of her sister, she was always uneasy and always wanted to fulfill her wish, so she didn't have the heart to pay attention to this hotel. If I knew that the original owner of this hotel was dead, I would have bought the hotel early in the morning because I knew one of his secrets!"
Ge Xuan nodded and waited for him to continue talking.
"Brother, before my sister died, she had just received a high-level task from the Starry Sky Courier. Through the introduction of that task, she unexpectedly learned that the hotel owner had completed a special task at the Starry Sky Courier!"
Ge Xuan has a rough understanding of the task system of the Starry Sky Courier. The tasks of the Starry Sky Courier are divided into three or six. The tasks at each level are of different difficulty, and the requirements for the task are also different. The reward points obtained for completing the task are far different. Special tasks are not within the level tasks and are not qualified for the task personnel, but they can usually get amazing rewards.
"Brother, the whole story of this matter is like this. The Starry Sky Courier issued a special task. The hotel owner took over the task and completed it. But he was too dark and bargained with the Starry Sky Courier. If he wanted to earn more points, the Starry Sky Courier disagreed, so he hid the task object to threaten the Starry Sky Courier.
"The Starry Sky Courier then issued another high-level task, and asked someone to steal the hotel owner's task object. My sister happened to take on this new task! After many understandings, she determined that the hotel owner put the task object in his treasure house. My sister once told me that once I returned to Bingzao Town, she wanted to get into the hotel and wait for an opportunity to steal the hotel owner's treasure house. Sadly, she just told me this secret, and the beast tide came..."
When Sapphire said this, she fell into sorrow. Losing her sister was his eternal pain.
Ge Xuan coughed lightly and asked, "What do you mean is that we want to get that mission object and hand it over to the Starry Sky Courier in exchange for points?"
"Yes!" Sapphire's spirit was revived and she gestured, "You think, the Starry Sky Courier attaches so much importance to that task object. If we can offer it, we will definitely get a lot of points, and maybe there will be special rewards!"
"But, how do we know where the innkeeper's treasure house is? And... does he really have a treasure house?"
"There must be! Do you know how profitable this hotel is? It is located in the center of the Bingyang Ocean. It has many treasures in the Bingyang Ocean, attracting a large number of adventurers. If you want to rest, you can only come to this hotel in Bingzao Town. The boss offered a sky-high room fee, which can be said to be a daily profit! My sister told me that he should be the richest person in Bingzao Town! How could such a person not have a treasure house?"
"Okay, even if he has it, will his treasure house be in the hotel?" Ge Xuan questioned again.
"According to my sister's investigation, it was determined that he built the treasure house in the mountain belly behind the hotel!" Sapphire said affirmatively.
Ge Xuan shook his head and said, "I have been to the mountain bell behind me, and I have set up a workshop there. It is empty and there is nothing..."
After a pause, he said again: "After the hotel owner was killed, it was the hotel taken over by the temple. The temple must have sent someone to inspect it. If there was a treasure, it would have been taken away long ago."
When he heard this, Sapphire was disappointed, like a deflated ball, and his whole body was deflated.
At this moment, the Phoenix, who had been listening, suddenly spoke: "This is not necessarily true! People in the temple don't know this secret, so they may not be able to search carefully. Besides, if they really want to create a secret, even if they search carefully, they may not be able to find out! My body was created there, and I know that there is such a secret there!"
As soon as this said, Sapphire jumped up and said anxiously: "Brother, it must be! It must be there..."
The secret that Phoenix mentioned was at the end of the mountain belly, which was a deep pool. Ge Xuan had observed that there was sea water in the pool. He thought that under the deep pool was an underground river that led directly to the sea. Now, it might be strange.
The two men arrived at the edge of the deep pool with two aircraft.
"The signal shielding area is just below the deep pool." Phoenix introduced.
"Huh? Why can't my little Qiangqiang detect the blocking area?" Sapphire said in confusion.
"Go to die!" Phoenix said angrily, "Your broken air force still wants to detect this thing? Tell you, even if the Golden War is here in the future, it will still not be detected!"
"Then how did you detect it? Are you more powerful than the Golden War General?" Sapphire's face was full of confusion.
"This...hum! Why should I tell you?" Fenghuang turned her head and ignored him.
But Ge Xuan asked, "What is a signal shielding area?"
Sapphire was stunned and then said, "Brother doesn't come to practice starry adventure often? We old adventurers all know this kind of place. To put it bluntly, it's an area that can block starry couriers! Do you know the chief armor summoning the commander of Lord Lachi? He made a device that can cut off the connection between us and starry couriers. This is a manual cut, but there are many areas on this planet that can naturally block starry couriers! In fact, the reason why Lord Lachi was able to develop that kind of equipment is, in my opinion, the inspiration comes from the signal shielding area."
Ge Xuan nodded and asked again: "So, the tasks issued by the Starry Sky Courier are all located in the signal blocking area?"
"It's not all, but many tasks are related to the signal blocking area. It is a restricted area for the Starry Sky Courier. It cannot enter and wants to obtain the task objects inside, so it can only issue the task and ask someone to complete it."
"It seems that the hotel owner is very likely to hide the task object under the deep pool!" Ge Xuan made a judgment, "Since that's the case, let's go down and take a look."
But the Phoenix stopped him and said, "I can't go down! It's too deep down. Not to mention organisms, even if the mafia goes down, it will be pressed into steel plates."
"Oh? What's the depth?"
"It's almost 12,000 meters, right? Maybe it's 13,000! My body is still too bad, and the detection is not accurate." Phoenix complained.
Ge Xuan fell into deep thought. If it was so deep, the water pressure below would be astonishingly strong. If the diving cabin was at this depth, even if a slight crack was broken, the water flow shot into the cabin could cut the alloy steel, and the power would definitely be better than a missile.
It seems that it is not easy to obtain the task object. Even if you rely on Phoenix's special ability to detect the shielded area, it is still very difficult.
"It's not just the depth of the water," Phoenix continued, "This water is not ordinary sea water, it is heavy water, and its specific gravity is much larger than ordinary sea water, so the water pressure below 10,000 meters is much stronger than some trenches!"
Ge Xuan nodded and finally said: "This difficulty is not completely insurmountable, but it seems that it will take a day to get the task object."
He is the armor summoner and knows how to make machines. He is not helpless in the face of such technical problems.
The workshop was ready-made, and the equipment seized from Ian was also complete. On the next day, Ge Xuan devoted himself to the manufacturing work.
He made a steel cable that was 14,000 meters long, and the manufacturing process came from the ladder from the planet's direct orbital space station. This longest steel cable in the history of practicing the starry sky was wrapped around the rotor, with a diameter of more than fifty meters, like a huge mining machinery.
The cable head has a high-voltage resistant micro detector and also has mechanical claws hanging. These claws are cleverly designed. As long as the steel cable is constantly swinging, they can automatically capture objects around them without any driving device. Having said that, ordinary driving devices cannot withstand the high pressure below, so Gexuan designed this way.
The next day, the steel cable was thrown into the deep pool. This special equipment was designed very successfully, and it easily brought the mysterious task objects.
Ge Xuan was a little stunned when he saw the mechanical claws grabbing the thing.
He had made many guesses yesterday, and he would not be surprised even if he caught a devil today. But he still felt incredible when he saw this.
