Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

When Qin Yu arrived at the village, he was immediately stunned by the sight before him.

Because even in this remote little mountain village, there was...

Snow King Milk Tea!

Qin Yu couldn't help but look surprised.

Good heavens! I never imagined that Snow King's influence was so great that he even had a branch in such a remote mountain village.

However, this conveniently allowed him to find out where that person named Malone was.

Qin Yu arrived at the milk tea shop. The shop was not large, with only one small table. Two old men were playing chess while holding lemon tea in their hands, creating a rather peculiar scene.

However, upon seeing the price list in the store, Qin Yu immediately understood the reason.

Here, a cup of lemon tea only costs one dollar.

And with this, you can enjoy the air conditioning in the store all day long, which is definitely a great deal.

Immediately, Qin Yu also ordered a lemon tea, looked at the only employee busy in the shop, and asked:

"Auntie, I'd like to ask you about someone. Do you know Ma Long?"

"do not know."

The woman shook her head without looking up, then handed the freshly made lemon tea to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu took the lemon tea, took a sip, his brows furrowed immediately, and he spat it out.

"Ptooey! What is this rubbish? It tastes awful! Damn it, give me my money back!"

The older woman smiled and shook her head:

"Child, I don't mind that you're poor, and you shouldn't complain about how bad the taste is."

"Besides, this thing only costs one dollar. What, do you want some kind of divine nectar?"

Qin Yu said with a face full of indignation:

"Even if it's cheap, it can't taste this bad! This isn't the Snow King I remember. This is a fake!"

Upon hearing this, the older woman looked puzzled and said:

"Who told you that my family makes Snow King Milk Tea?"

"Ok?"

Qin Yu was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked up and took another closer look at the shop sign, only to be shocked to discover that...

This isn't Snow King Milk Tea at all, it's Snow Jade Milk Tea!

However, the dot on the character '玉' was written even smaller than that of the Korean man's character '阿坤', so he didn't see it at first.

Qin Yu's lips twitched suddenly.

The city is truly full of tricks. I want to go back to the countryside, but I never expected that the roads in the countryside would be slippery and people's hearts would be even more complicated!

Qin Yu shook his head, then went to the two elderly men who were playing chess and asked:

"Gentlemen, I'd like to ask you about someone. Do you know someone named Ma Long?"

"Yes, I know." One of the white-haired old men nodded without looking up.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's eyes lit up immediately: "Then can you tell me where he is now?"

The white-haired old man didn't speak, but silently held up five fingers.

Seeing this, Qin Yu understood immediately that the other party wanted something in return, and shook his head helplessly.

These days, even people in rural areas are no longer as simple and honest as they used to be.

Immediately, he took out five cents from his pocket and stuffed it into the white-haired old man's hand.

Upon seeing this, the white-haired old man's eyes widened immediately:

"Hey kid, are you trying to fob me off like this? Get lost, don't interrupt my chess game!"

After that, the white-haired old man stopped paying attention to Qin Yu and focused on playing chess.

Soon, the white-haired old man gracefully rode a horse over a flying elephant, a proud smile on his face, and said:

"General!"

Seeing this, the old man opposite him shook his head helplessly: "I lost."

"How lonely it is to be invincible..."

The white-haired old man struck a proud pose, as if he were an undefeated master, and hummed a little tune with a contented smile.

Seeing this, Qin Yu's eyes darted around, and an idea immediately came to him. He looked at the white-haired old man, grinned, and said:

"Grandpa, how about we have a match?"

"If you win, I'll give you a thousand. If I win, you have to tell me where that guy named Malone is."

"you?"

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man raised an eyebrow, then decisively agreed with a hearty smile.

He's a renowned chess master in the surrounding villages; how could this callow youth possibly beat him?

Then, the other old man made way for Qin Yu.

Qin Yu sat down, then secretly opened the chess game on his phone, selected the highest difficulty human-computer battle mode, and then said with a proud smile:

"Sir, you should get off first, so people won't say I'm bullying an old man."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man immediately sneered:

"Heh, young man, I'll soon show you that arrogance comes at a price."

ten minutes later,

The white-haired old man, covered in sweat, stared at the dead end before him, completely dumbfounded.

"Holy crap? You're this good at chess?"

Qin Yu couldn't help but grin: "Grandpa, you lost. It's time to keep your promise."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile. He had truly encountered a master today.

However, the old man was not a man of his word, and readily told Ma Long his location.

After hearing this, Qin Yu was about to take his leave, but was stopped by the white-haired old man.

"Young man, wait a minute. You win this game, but you let me take back one move. Let's play a little longer. After all, it's rare to meet a master like you."

“Sure, sure,” Qin Yu nodded, “but you’ll have to wait until I finish watching this 30-second ad.”

White-haired old man: ? ? ?

Half an hour later.

Qin Yu arrived at the gate of a large mansion at the east end of the village and knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Soon, a burly man pushed open the door and came out, asking with a puzzled look:

"Who are you looking for?"

Qin Yu smiled and asked, "Is Ma Long here?"

"That's our captain. What do you need him for?"

"you guess."

"Huh?" The burly man's lips twitched suddenly, and he said speechlessly, "I'm just a kid, why are you guessing?"

"Xiao Fang, who's outside?"

Just then, a deep male voice came from inside the courtyard.

Upon hearing this, the burly man turned around and said:

"Captain, a young boy has come to the door. He says he's looking for you."

"Oh, that must be my master's grandson, Qin Yu. Let him in quickly."

"okay."

The burly man nodded upon hearing this, and then let Qin Yu walk in, arriving at the main hall of the mansion.

At this moment, four people were still sitting in the lobby. Upon seeing Qin Yu approach, one of the men, a burly middle-aged man, immediately stood up with a hearty smile to greet him:

"As expected of his master's grandson, he is indeed a handsome man."

Looking at the burly man walking towards him, Qin Yu couldn't help but ask with a puzzled expression:

"you are?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged burly man smiled and extended his palm, saying, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Ma Long. I used to be your grandfather's student, and I am currently the captain of an adventure team."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu smiled and shook hands with the other party:

"Hello Uncle Ma, my name is Qin Yu."

Ma Long smiled and nodded, then introduced the two parties to each other.

This is how Qin Yu learned about the strength and configuration of this adventure team.

Team leader Ma Long is a four-star Martial Marquis, vice-captain Wang Jie is a one-star Martial Marquis, and the other three team members are all nine-star Grand Martial Masters.

This strength configuration is definitely extremely powerful for an adventure team.

However, after hearing this, Qin Yu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh:

"Uncle Ma, I heard that some of my grandfather's former students have already become Martial Kings and major generals. You're only a minor Martial Marquis now. You're not doing so well. You need to keep working hard."

"???"

Malone's lips twitched violently.

Good heavens, no wonder he's his master's grandson!

He has the same sharp tongue as his master.

"Hehe, you're quite the smooth talker."

Malone chuckled dryly, then quickly changed the subject:

"Alright, let's get down to business. Do you know why your grandfather sent you here to see me this time?"

Qin Yu shook his head: "I don't know."

Malone nodded: "Okay, then I'll give you a brief explanation, mainly the following points."

"..."
