Chapter 56 Go (ask for monthly ticket)
After Hu Qi walked out of the Red Scale Club, he didn't stay for long and went straight to the hotel, ready to eat something first.
However, as soon as he entered the hotel lobby, he saw a figure walking towards him with brisk steps.
This is a woman in her thirties, tall and well-proportioned.
Her chestnut hair was tied up behind her head. She was wearing a black business suit with a white shirt underneath and a colorful scarf tied around her collar, making her look particularly capable.
She is the lobby manager of this hotel.
"Are you saying that a strange beast has entered the store?" Hu Qi looked at the hotel manager in front of him, feeling a little surprised.
There was no other reason, it was just because the other party gave him a surprise.
"Yes, Mr. Hu, we have acquired a special fish. It may be the exotic animal you need."
The woman said with a smile.
"Take me to see it!"
Hu Qi said.
Soon, the two walked through the hall and came to a place filled with various water tanks.
The tank contains a variety of fish, shrimp and other seafood, and a scoop net is hung next to the tank.
At this moment, several guests are choosing among them.
Soon, Hu Qi followed the other party to a water tank.
“This is a dragon horn fish, which usually lives in the dark deep sea.
Most dragon horn fish are white, but this one is an extremely rare scarlet red. It should be the exotic animal you need."
There was a strange fish in the water tank, about the length of an arm and weighing about four or five pounds.
Unlike the flat and round body of normal fish, this so-called dragon horn fish has a slender body, similar to an electric eel, and has two long whiskers on its lips.
Its entire body is red, and as it sways, it looks like a constantly dancing and burning flame in the water.
What Hu Qi cares about most is.
There was a thumb-sized forked horn on the forehead of this fish, which was emitting a faint light.
This scene is very strange and it is indeed somewhat similar to the legendary dragon. No wonder it is called dragon-horned fish.
However, the only problem was that the fish seemed a little lethargic, and there was a cut on its abdomen, with blood faintly seeping out of it.
“This fish shouldn’t be poisonous, right?”
Hu Qi looked at the colorful dragon horn fish and asked with some concern.
You know, in nature, some animals and creatures with brighter colors and more beautiful appearance often have certain toxicity.
Although his current physical condition is far superior to that of ordinary people, it is still hard to say how he would react when facing things like toxins.
"Don't worry, this red dragon horn fish is not the first one. Someone has caught it before. You can check it online. It was sold for a good price at that time!"
The woman explained with a smile.
Hear the words.
Hu Qi's expression changed.
He asked, "Oh, how much do you want for this fish?"
"The last fish of this kind sold for over 30,000 yuan, but as you can see, this one has a wound on its abdomen and won't live long, so it only costs 10,000 yuan."
The woman pointed to the wound on the dragon horn fish's abdomen and said.
After getting the fish, their hotel originally didn't plan to sell it.
I want to keep it as an ornamental fish, after all, this fish looks very beautiful.
Unfortunately, due to the circumstances of its capture, a wound was left on its abdomen, although it was not immediately fatal.
But it seems that he won't live long, and death is only a matter of time.
Instead of that, it would be better to sell it.
"Your fish is almost dead. Can you make it cheaper? Three hundred dollars. If it doesn't work, forget it."
Hu Qi looked calm and ignored the other party's offer. He just took out the Dragon Slaying Sword and chopped him off.
"Mr. Hu, your price is too low. Our purchase price is more than this."
The woman's smile was a little forced.
"How about you add some more?"
After several rounds of negotiations, the deal was finally settled at eight hundred yuan.
After paying the money, Hu Qi went to his seat in the restaurant and waited.
After customers have made their selection, they can hand it over directly to the hotel for processing, which keeps it fresher.
During this period, he searched for information about the dragon horn fish.
Although this kind of fish lives in the deep sea, there are quite a lot of them.
The price of ordinary white dragon horn fish is about 30 yuan per kilogram.
The one just now weighed only three or four pounds at most. If it was just an ordinary dragon horn fish, it would weigh at most a hundred pounds.
About half an hour later, the fragrant steamed dragon fish was served on the table.
Because it is steamed.
The slightly curled skin has a light oily sheen, and is dotted with shredded green onions, minced garlic, and ginger slices, making the aroma even more intense.
The soup at the bottom of the plate is a light golden color, which is a fusion of the essence of fish and seasonings.
Hu Qi picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. A fresh and fragrant taste instantly spread in his mouth.
As the fish meat entered the stomach, the modification panel popped up automatically. The words in the modification column jumped slightly and the value increased.
Soon, the whole plate of fish meat went into Hu Qi's stomach, and even the fish soup was drunk up by him.
Feeling a faint warmth spreading from his abdomen, Hu Qi looked at the panel.
----
Modified value: 7 (12%)
After seeing the numbers behind the modified value, Hu Qi's expression changed.
This was his second time eating exotic beast meat. The two eels he had eaten before only had a modification value of more than two points each.
Excluding the remaining modification value, this fish actually provided him with nearly six points of modification value.
Such a large amount of modification value is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for him.
"What a pity! It would be better if there were more of them." Hu Qi sighed.
But he also knew that this was just his wishful thinking.
shook his head.
After having a good meal and feeling satisfied, he took the elevator back to his room, took a shower, and fell asleep.
These past few days he was busy learning these four fighting techniques and hadn't had much rest.
……
The next morning.
The sun at dawn rose from the horizon, and light golden sunlight poured down through the mist.
The light and shadow appear hazy after being reflected by the glass surface of the steel building.
In front of the Red Scale Extreme Fighting Club.
When Hu Qi arrived here with breakfast, the other four had already arrived early.
Several people were carrying backpacks and suitcases.
Sims was leaning against the wall. When he saw Hu Qi coming, his face was tense and he looked a little nervous.
Hu Qi didn't care about this. He found a step to sit down and took off the backpack he had just bought.
The backpack is covered with breathable mesh all around, and there is a small window on the top, with the head of the camphor tea duck sticking out from it.
After seeing the food in Hu Qi's hand, the camphor tea duck quacked twice.
The meaning is obvious.
"Tiantian eats more than me!"
Hu Qi cursed with a smile, took out a white flour bun from a bag on the side, tore off a piece and threw it into the other person's mouth.
Then he picked up another bag of buns and started eating.
This is the breakfast provided by the hotel. It tastes pretty good, with thin skin and lots of fillings. Your mouth will be filled with oil after one bite.
Seeing this, several people all looked strange. They all brought large and small bags of change of clothes and daily necessities.
It turns out that this guy didn’t bring anything but a duck?
However, although they were confused, they did not dare to ask more questions when they thought that the other party might have this hobby.
After all, Hu Qi’s strength is there.
Wait until the buns are eaten and the milk is finished.
It just so happened.
A gray bus drove over from a distance and finally stopped in front of the Red Scale Fighting Club.
