Chapter 134 Bullet Shell Tavern
On the street corner of the market, a rotten wood hangs diagonally at the door, with a dagger engraved on it in large characters - Bullet Shell Tavern.
This is what Zhou Guoping said about the pub in the sixth block. According to him, this is one of the most interesting places on the Sixth Street.
After instructing Zhou Guoping to deal with the decoration, Jiang Chen came here alone. Because he doesn't know the tastes of the people here, he needs to simply do a "market research". And the best way to investigate, of course, is to come here for a drink in person.
Although the decoration here is not very bright, there are unexpectedly many guests coming and going.
A weirdo in a large trench coat was sitting on a table near the door drinking a pungent wine by himself. The young man with a red scarf tied on his head stepped on the stool, dazzled and dealt cards to the table with a cigarette in his mouth. The onlookers included solo travelers, roaming gangsters, and a profession that only recently emerged in this area—the hunter. The naked woman dangling under the lights leaned against the bar, waiting for tonight's prey to take the bait. Black market traders hide in the shadows, peddling "harmless" gadgets...
The air in the tavern was very turbid and the environment was very noisy. This was Jiang Chen's first reaction when he stepped into this space.
It shouldn't be an illusion. When he stepped on the dry wooden floor, he felt that at least ten lines of sight were directed towards him.
There are friendly ones, but most of them are unfriendly.
After a short pause, Jiang Chen continued to walk forward and went straight to the bar.
"Won't you invite me for a drink? Handsome guy." A woman with heavy makeup leaned against the bar and showed him a gorgeous smile.
Jiang Chen smiled, ignoring her, and looking at the bartender behind the bar who was silently wiping his glass.
White shirt, black trousers, looks pretty neat. However, the fat belly made his supposedly handsome action look rather comical.
"What's in here?" Jiang Chen sat on the stool next to the bar and asked casually.
Hearing Jiang Chen's question, the bartender paused for a moment. He raised his head and glanced at Jiang Chen.
"First time?"
"Um."
"There are a lot of things. Wine, nuclear cola, e fruit, kaka tea." Finished. The fat bartender continued to wipe the glass that he had rubbed many times.
"There is also mole milk tea, cockroach juice." A young man sitting next to him whistled and laughed.
"That thing won't be sold to new people." The bartender didn't look up.
"Then it seems that I don't have much chance to see it." Jiang Chen shrugged and joked. After a short pause, he opened his mouth, "The four kinds of drinks. Give me a bottle of them all."
Hearing the words, the bartender stopped his movements, turned to open the refrigerator, and quickly placed four strangely shaped glass bottles on the bar.
"2, 1, 2, 3. A total of 8 subcrystals."
Jiang Chen reached into his pocket, took out 8 crystals from the storage space, and patted it on the table lazily. Such a tyrant's behavior attracted a whistle and a greedy look.
Silently took over Ya Jing, the bartender didn't say a word, and continued to work on the task at hand.
Look at the four bottles of "drinks" in front of you. Jiang Chen frowned, how suspicious these things looked.
Alcohol is normal, should it be liquor or something? Nuka-Cola looks the weirdest, and the fluorescent liquid doesn't look like something you can drink. As for the e fruity flavor, it looks a bit like orange juice. The kaka tea is green seaweed, and the turbid liquid has weird scum floating in it.
"Can these things be drunk?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask.
There was a burst of laughter behind him, and a big man stepped forward with a smirk, stepped on the stool next to Jiang Chen, and said, "Yo, rookie. Those drinks are too difficult for you. Why don't you come and play with us? If you're lucky, 1 point can be multiplied tenfold."
This tone, as well as this expression, seems to have settled on him. The so-called play. Naturally, only gambling and gambling.
Jiang Chen glanced at him, not angry, but smiled.
"How about we play a game too?"
After speaking, Jiang Chen didn't care whether he answered or not, he slowly took out a crystal containing 50 points of energy from his pocket, and shook it conspicuously in front of the big man's eyes.
"Play once at 2 o'clock. Guess which hand this 'stone' is in, if you guess right, it's yours."
The big man was stunned by Jiang Chen's abrupt action, and then his face was filled with joy. He secretly said in his heart, "This is a fool, I have guessed you ten times in a row, no matter how tricky you are, you have to be right once."
But he wasn't stupid. If Jiang Chen ran away after playing two games, his Yajing would be a waste.
"20 Yajing, I guess you ten times." The big man grinned and slapped Yajing on the table.
When the onlookers saw this, they all cast sympathetic eyes on Jiang Chen.
"Tsk tsk, it's bad luck to be stared at by this Liu Mang."
"Hey, this rookie is going to be out of luck."
As for those who looked at him with schadenfreude expressions, most of them were the accomplices of this big man.
Is it Liu Mang? What a great name.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he muttered something in his heart. Jiang Chen didn't care, and put away the 20 crystals on the table.
"No problem, you can guess a hundred times." He yawned, then he threw the 50-point sub-crystal into the air, and quickly staggered his hands.
That Liu Mang only felt a flower in front of his eyes, and that Ya Jing disappeared from his sight. Seeing Jiang Chenlu's move, the expressions of those who were gloating at the misfortune changed. And those who originally looked towards this side with sympathetic eyes, instead put on an expression of schadenfreude.
There was a good show.
A drop of cold sweat slipped on Liu Mang's forehead, but he didn't see where the crystal that was thrown in front of him was hidden. Under a rough estimate, this person's reflex nerve is at least 25 or more. Although he has also injected genetic medicine, but the injection is a more general E-level.
"Guess." Jiang Chen bored his hand close to him.
Heart sighed, since he didn't see it clearly, Liu Mang simply chose Meng.
"Right hand."
Jiang Chen laughed.
"Congratulations...you got it wrong."
The open right hand has nothing.
"You cheat!" Liu Mang was immediately unhappy, his eyes widened, and the surrounding accomplices also leaned over with bad expressions. What about genetic medicine, who has never played that thing. Although the injection is a low-level version, but the number advantage is on their side, isn't it?
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes, spread out his left hand, and lay a bright purple crystal.
"Nine times, still guessing?" There was no fear on his face.
Liu Mang was taken aback. He originally saw that Jiang Chen didn't immediately open his left hand, and thought he must be hiding Na Yajing, but he didn't expect it to be on his left hand.
Under the watchful eyes, he was used to being a rogue. But I'm really embarrassed to do it like that.
On second thought, there are nine more chances, right?
So Liu Mang winked at the younger brothers, then stopped the attack, stared at Jiang Chen and said.
"Guess, let's get started."
A sneer slid across Jiang Chen's mouth. The sub-crystal was thrown into the air again.
Just kidding, is he the type to cheat?
The answer is yes.
No matter what Liu Mang guessed, Ya Jing would always appear on the other hand.
This storage space is simply an artifact. Jiang Chen couldn't help but yyy in his heart, if he went to Macau, I'm afraid those gods of gamblers would have to give way.
"It's the last time, you have to be careful." Jiang Chen waved his hands lazily in front of him.
Liu Mang's eyes were red, and he stared at these two fists, trying to see something from the size, but it was obviously in vain.
This is the gambler mentality. I will not give up until I lose the last crystal.
The 20-point Yajing was already lost by him, and he immediately took the final 10-point Yajing on the table.
You only need to win once to get your money back, just a little bit!
However, when Jiang Chen spread his hands, he guessed wrong again.
"It's impossible! There's a fifty percent probability, how could you not guess it once, you cheated!" Liu Mang immediately had a seizure, kicking the stool beside his feet cursingly. .
Seeing Liu Mang's actions, the onlookers showed contempt.
Anyone can see that Jiang Chen must have cheated, but what kind of prestige can you show without proof?
But Liu Mang, who was used to the rogue, naturally didn't care. Greeting the younger brother, he surrounded him aggressively.
"Boy, dare to cheat on Laozi Liu Mang? You are very condescending. I tell you, if you don't hand over the Yajing you cheated from grandpa just now, then kneel down and give the 50-point Yajing with both hands. Let you go out sideways."
Jiang Chen glanced at the menacing Liu Mang, and said lightly.
"Ten bets and nine loses, hasn't anyone taught you? And... Speaking of which, do you care about the militia group here?"
The young man who had whistled to Jiang Chen before was still sitting there. After taking a sip of wine, he smiled nonchalantly.
"Of course. But the note is always late."
"That's really good." Jiang Chen laughed.
Seeing that he was being ignored, Liu Mang suddenly burst into anger and stretched his hand to Jiang Chen's collar in anger.
"tmd, I'm talking to you—"
boom--!
Jiang Chen kicked out without warning. That Liu Mang only felt as if his chest had been hit by a giant hammer. Like a kite with a broken string, it flew backwards, crossed a table, and slammed straight out of the door.
The bartender glanced at Jiang Chen in surprise, put down the glass in his hand, and silently pressed the alarm bell next to the bar. Seeing that there was a good show to watch, everyone whistled and shouted.
"Grass! Hit him." Seeing that the boss was kicked, the bandits immediately picked up the guy and greeted him.
Jiang Chen unhurriedly sideways dodged a stick, and the madness turned on instantly. He raised his hand and squeezed the stabbing dagger. With the skyrocketing strength, he lightly dragged it aside and plunged into a bandit's shoulder.
"Ah!" The gangster screamed and fell to the rear in embarrassment.
Jiang Chen's hand didn't stop, and he pulled the bandit with his right hand to his chest, blocking the sticks that were greeting him.
"Haha, good fight."
"Straight punch, give him an uppercut to try."
"Use a stool, idiot!" Most of the onlookers were good people, cheering Jiang Chen's side for a while, cursing those gangsters for not being able to live up to their expectations, and a group of people hitting one with such ink marks.
There was a banging sound, but those gangsters couldn't touch Jiang Chen's sticks, and the guys who picked up almost all greeted their own people.
Madness lifted.
Cheers sounded, and the onlookers cheered for the winner. The woman who had approached Jiang Chen just now looked at him with brighter eyes and licked her seductive red lips. But Jiang Chen still didn't look at her.
After clapping his hands, Jiang Chen glanced at the little bastard lying on the ground.
The young man who was drinking alone by the side smiled and said, "I'm still going to wait for you to beat me and blackmail you for two glasses of wine."
"Obviously you have no chance." Jiang Chen shrugged and smiled.
"Grass, dare to hit Lao Tzu Liu Mang, see if Lao Tzu doesn't hit you in the leg—" Liu Mang walked in crookedly, cursing. But when he saw the younger brother lying on the ground and the mocking expressions on everyone's faces, his mouth froze.
Meeting Jiang Chen's half-smiling expression, he glanced at the younger brother on the ground again, as if he could not accept this reality.
"You, do you know who I am?" Seeing that he couldn't beat him, Liu Mang began to speak ruthlessly, looking at Jiang Chen with a sinister look.
"Oh? Who are you?" Jiang Chen lazily picked up the fruity flavor of e, and took a sip to his mouth, but the sweet and greasy taste almost didn't make him spit it out.
Holy crap, someone drinks this stuff too?
Everyone was equally dumbfounded, and secretly said in their hearts: What the hell, someone actually drinks this thing directly?
Jiang Chen calmly put the drink back again, his face still had that half-smile expression on his face.
"I, I'm very familiar with the people from the Grey Gu mercenary group. Hehe, you are wandering around in this generation, you can't have heard their names every time, right?" Chen's eyes, hoping to find a hint of fear in his pupils.
However, Jiang Chen's reaction was destined to disappoint him.
When he heard the name of the Grey Gu mercenary group, Jiang Chen almost didn't laugh out loud.
"You know them well?" Jiang Chen looked at him playfully.
"That's right, if you don't want your back foot to step into the coffin before your forefoot is out of the sixth block, you'd better apologize to me and then—"
"And then pay a mental damage fee?" Jiang Chen laughed and said nonchalantly.
Liu Mang was stunned for a while, always feeling that this person's reaction was a bit wrong.
"That's right, if you're acquainted, it's best to take out the crystal as soon as possible."
Jiang Chen glanced at him and said slowly, "Since you are so familiar with them, do you know where they are now?"
"Haha, isn't it in Songjiang's generation, I know their boss very well." Liu Mang said proudly.
"No, they are in Qingpu." Jiang Chen shook his finger, "The body was painted with formalin and hung from a street lamp."
Liu Mang was stunned for a while, and looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief, "Say, what nonsense are you talking about, are you dreaming? Hurry up and give it to Lao Tzu—"
"He didn't lie to you." The young man sitting at the bar smiled and pointed at Jiang Chen while holding the wine glass, "Because those idiots were killed by this guy." (To be continued.)
