Chapter 34: Guard? Beat him!

Chu Danqing sent the two maids away; he wanted to open a treasure chest, so it was not suitable to have outsiders present.

【You have opened: Treasure Chest (Excellent Tier), obtained: Xiliang Infantry Armor, Paradise Points × 1700.】

【Xiliang Infantry Armor】

【Type: Equipment · Armor】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Durability: 100/100】

【Defense: 20】

【Cloth Surface (Passive): Agility +1】

【Equipment Requirement: Strength 7 points, Constitution 7 points】

Chu Danqing took one look and threw it into his storage space.

Wearing it could indeed increase 1 point of agility, but it was not permanent; it would be gone once taken off.

Compared to agility, he needed 10 more points of defense more, and Dabao could not wear it either, so he could only take it back to sell.

"The hierarchy between treasure chests is truly realistic."

The Excellent-tier treasure chest from the Qingya Bandit Stronghold and the Excellent-tier treasure chest from the Cave Beast Priest were worlds apart.

This was also normal; the things that could be opened from a treasure chest were related to the group of people killed.

How could this group of bandits have the ability to touch porcelain with the Cave Beast Priest?

"But it is much better than the bottom line of one thousand points." Chu Danqing looked at his recovering Paradise Points and was still very satisfied in his heart.

Dong dong dong~

There was a knock on the door outside, and Dabao got up to open it.

"You, what are you doing?" Dabao lowered his head, looking at a strong man holding a food box.

The other party's face stiffened, and he revealed a reluctant smile: "Delivering some food for you."

Dabao reached out to take the food box and closed the door casually.

"He, wanted to fight, scared away." Dabao put the food box on the table, and Chu Danqing took it out and placed it in front of Dabao.

Dabao's hands were too big to reach in, so Chu Danqing had to do it for him.

"It should be a show of force, or perhaps he was instigated by someone." Chu Danqing guessed some possibilities and calculated in his heart how to deal with it.

One should not have the heart to harm others, but one must have the heart to guard against them.

Dabao ate the food in big mouthfuls, and in a few bites, he poured it all into his mouth.

"Average." Dabao even added a comment.

"It's ancient times, it's normal." Chu Danqing naturally understood; how could ancient food compare to modern various seasonings?

A bag of MSG could make a chef a god of cooking in ancient times.

The saying that ancient food is better because it is original is fake; do you really take modern agricultural scientists, botanists, and other scientists as decorations?

Modern crops not only have higher yields but also taste far better than ancient ones.

If you say the ancients knew how to play, Chu Danqing could not imagine how they could play, but to say how delicious the food was, it was really not certain.

At most, they ate some rare things that modern people could not catch up with, but in terms of taste, the snack street could probably compete.

The wisdom of technology and harsh work is not something ancient chefs could imagine.

"Not full." Dabao muttered again.

Chu Danqing took out quite a lot of food from his storage space.

Dabao's consumption did not come out of thin air; he needed to supplement it with a large amount of food every day.

However, he could also eat a large amount of food at once as nutritional storage.

Chu Danqing was considering going to get a batch of high-nutrition, easily absorbed compressed food to reduce the quantity and frequency of Dabao's eating.

Actually, this was not the best way; the best way was to feed Dabao medicinal meals prepared with heavenly treasures.

However, the problem was that he had no heavenly treasures, so he could only let Dabao make do for now.

While Dabao was swallowing food, there was another knock on the door outside.

This time it was Chu Danqing who went to open the door.

When the visitor saw that the person opening the door was not Dabao, his expression relaxed: "Presumably, you are the strange person Chu, whom the eldest young lady welcomed into the residence."

"I don't dare to call myself a strange person, but it is indeed me." Chu Danqing did not deny it. "Who are you?"

"I am Gao Jie, the head of the Lu clan's guards. I heard that the eldest young master asked the master for a guest position for you, and I am truly unconvinced."

"I wanted to come and see what kind of methods and strange arts you have." Gao Jie cupped his hands and stated his thoughts.

It was not that the Lu clan had no guest retainers, but each one was a famous person; how could Chu Danqing, an unknown junior, hold the position?

He was afraid that Chu Danqing had used despicable methods to deceive the Lu clan's young master and young lady, so he came to test him.

Previously, he had sent a guard, but he was scared away, saying there was an exotic beast that could speak.

"Dabao, beat him." Chu Danqing stepped aside, leaving space for Dabao to pass.

Gao Jie only then saw Dabao in the room, but it was too late, because Dabao rushed over without a word.

A huge red-furred fist swung toward Gao Jie's chest.

Gao Jie's expression changed suddenly, and he was thinking of saying something, but the fist had already landed on his chest.

With this punch, his whole body flew backward.

Dabao's speed was faster; he grabbed his foot, forcibly pulled him back, and dragged his leg to smash his face against the wall.

He let Gao Jie land slowly.

Then Dabao let go and retreated to Chu Danqing's side: "Beaten."

Dabao's intelligence level was not high, but he could distinguish between the words "kill" and "beat."

Killing is taking a life; beating is a lesson. He grasped the strength well, so as not to really kill or injure anyone.

Gao Jie climbed up with a bruised nose and swollen face, feeling pain all over his body.

"Guard Head Gao, you are not good enough." Chu Danqing mocked, "With your cat's-step technique, how can you guard the house?"

Chu Danqing was not made of mud; you provoked him as soon as you came up, so how could he give you a good face?

Besides, he was invited by Lu Yin and Lu Qiaoyun; you are just an employee, why do you care who the boss recruits?

The other party was not polite, so Chu Danqing could not stick his hot face to a cold butt.

Being spoken to like this by Chu Danqing, Gao Jie's face turned blue and white.

Looking at Dabao beside Chu Danqing with a wary expression, he could not afford to offend him, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "It was my own overestimation of my abilities; Mr. Chu is truly a strange person."

That's right, he admitted defeat.

He did not intend to fight to the end.

In his view, Chu Danqing's hand of taming exotic beasts meant that being a guest retainer of the Lu clan was a nailed-down matter.

In the future, he would inevitably work for the Lu clan, and his status was not as good as the other party's; if he didn't want to have a hard time in the future, it was best to apologize first and then curry favor.

Furthermore, between a guard head and a guest retainer, the Lu clan naturally knew who was more valuable.

Chu Danqing truly did not expect that Gao Jie could not only endure being beaten but also take the blame upon himself.

He is a talent; he is truly worthy of being someone who could become a guard head in a noble clan.

"Guard Head Gao is too kind; I just hope there won't be a next time." Chu Danqing said in a slow and orderly manner while holding his posture.

His attitude would certainly not be very good; you came to provoke him, so you couldn't expect Chu Danqing to forget it on the spot.

Not continuing to make things difficult was already Chu Danqing's magnanimity.
