Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

Pei Lu extended her hand out of the seawater, grabbed Chen Qi's hand, and climbed up:

"It's fine, I took four years of physical education at Bei Country Royal University. I'm practically a half-athlete. It's just a dive. A couple of days of rest, and I'll be good."

"..."

Chen Qi pulled Pei Lu up from the seawater.

Her body showed only a few minor injuries.

"This girl is genuinely tough..."

Although Pei Lu only had a first-tier Spirit Power Field, her body had a frightening level of hardness, which was one of the main reasons players believed that Pei Lu was hiding her true strength.

Once on the boat, Pei Lu's eyes were red as she coughed up seawater and then stood up:

"Boss... do you know... I've been looking for you for so long, almost thought I couldn't find you. Look, I'm so excited; I fell off the pigeon."

Pei Lu sat on the ground. Having fallen into the water, she somehow looked a bit pitiful.

"Hey, don't rush. Calm down a bit."

Chen Qi crossed his arms and asked curiously:

"What's the matter? Is it about food?"

Pei Lu naturally walked into his boathouse and said:

"Do you even need to ask? Of course, it's about the Flower Witch!

This is big news that has shocked Moonstone City.

For the sake of the story, all major newspapers are moving into action now!

However, other newspapers, and even that damned junior of mine, have signed confidentiality agreements with the participants of the Hunting Grounds!"

Then Pei Lu wiped her eyes and looked at Chen Qi:

"Fortunately, I heard from the old man at the newsstand that you participated in the crack, and you probably weren't interviewed.

Moreover, he told me that you might be a key figure!

Boss, if it weren't for you, I would miss out on the most explosive news Moonstone City has had this month."

"You actually saw the Flower Witch!"

Pei Lu looked at Chen Qi, her eyes full of envy!

"Is that so..."

Chen Qi felt some emotion. The speed of these journalists was faster than he had imagined.

Pei Lu was someone who would stop at nothing for newspaper sales.

Despite her fame, she wasn't without competitors. The Witch Times, adept at pushing boundaries, had always been a strong contender against her.

In fact, they had already surpassed the White Dove Times in sales this year.

Chen Qi remembered that in the game's new activities, there was a special faction war centered around the sales of the Witch Times and the White Dove Times. Players would be responsible for gathering or fabricating big news to boost their respective newspapers' sales.

He should now be considered a player on the side of the White Dove Times.

Chen Qi took out some peanuts and handed them to Pei Lu:

"So, Miss Reporter, what do you want to ask?"

Pei Lu brushed back her wet hair, took out her notebook and pen:

"What happened in the Hunting Grounds, the Flower Witch's appearance, including the color of the flowers on her head and her attire. If possible, please tell me her body measurements! The more detailed, the better!"

So much information? Are you sure you're not capturing a criminal? Chen Qi frowned.

After some thought, Chen Qi recounted part of the events in the Hunting Grounds.

However, in his version, he was not the one who defeated the Hunting Grounds, but merely a participant who hunted red wolves with culinary skills, without revealing his dealings with the Flower Witch.

"That's what happened in the Hunting Grounds. As for the Flower Witch's appearance, she has flowers growing on her head, and she's about 1.6 meters tall. Her figure is quite good, I suppose."

Chen Qi replied.

"Thank you very much. This information is enough for me to write an article."

Pei Lu clenched her fist, looking fierce:

"Don't let me catch you, Flower Witch!" Explore more at m,v le,mpyr

Pei Lu vowed in her heart that if she caught the Flower Witch, she would definitely conduct a thorough interview!

"Ah, this..."

Chen Qi looked at Pei Lu. The way she spoke about the interview felt like a gangland shakedown. No wonder she was known as Moonstone City's most brazen journalist.

As a chaotic-type journalist, Pei Lu's interviews often involved torture devices.

He could only pray for the Flower Witch and hope she wouldn't get caught by this chaotic journalist.

Luckily, with the Flower Witch's strength, she should be able to give this journalist a good thrashing.

Then Chen Qi said to Pei Lu:

"Miss Reporter, can I ask if you have any useful information for me?"

As the top of Bei Country Royal's Big Three and an honorary journalist of Moonstone City, though her mind was somewhat erratic, Pei Lu was undoubtedly a huge intelligence broker.

She knew all the big and small affairs in the Witch Sea.

There should be a lot of useful information among them.

Pei Lu, while writing her article, thought out loud:

"Useful information for you..."

Her eyes lit up:

"Of course, I do."

"What is it?"

"According to a sea fisherman's discovery, recently, a large group of rare Moonlight Fish has appeared in the nearshore waters around Moonstone City.

This is a rare and delicious ingredient, but nighttime is very dangerous.

Thus, to prepare for the culinary contest, many chefs have contacted fishermen to arrange a fishing boat, planning to embark on a big fishing trip the night after tomorrow!"

"Fishing..."

Chen Qi rubbed his hands together. The other party truly regarded him as a professional chef.

Moonlight Fish was a seasonal product of Moonstone City, with tender and juicy meat, welcomed by many big merchants.

However, the Transcendent attributes of Moonlight Fish were not particularly strong. Even when processed into food, it could only temporarily boost inspiration.

Chen Qi shook his head, not very interested in Moonlight Fish.

What he wanted was a Transcendent ingredient that could give him a body of steel!

Then, Pei Lu continued:

"But unfortunately, Moonlight Fish can only appear at night, and in the places where they appear, many dangerous sea beasts will also appear. Ghost Fire Fish, Demon Bats, Bullet Squids, even the Nearshore Dominator, and those things hiding in the shadows.

In other words, the night when Moonlight Fish appear is a monster night!"

"What did you just say?"

"A lot of dangerous sea beast groups will appear. Plus, fishing at night means the prices of Moonlight Fish have skyrocketed.

To guard against these monsters, at least five Second-order Hunters, or even expensive Third-tier Hunters, must be hired for them to dare to go to sea.

Of course, if you want to join the fishing fleet, and with some gangs being unruly lately, you'll need to spend a lot of money to get a Hunter's protection."

A first-order Transcendent is the starting point of transcendence, their power varies significantly.

Whereas, Second-order Transcendents, compared to first-order ones, had delved deeply into their chosen path, possessed a unique Nature Form, and had mastered refined breathing, body forging, and meditation skills.

Most Second-order Transcendents had a certain status in Moonstone City.

At least five Second-order Transcendents indicated the level of danger of this fishing trip.

Hearing this, Chen Qi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Dangerous sea beast groups! Ghost Fire Fish, Demon Bats, Bullet Squids, those goodies...

This monster night was a huge opportunity for him!
