Chapter 217: Business
Xia Bei got off the locomotive and swept his gaze over the small square.
In the corner not far away, there were a few "bugs" with thin and sallow faces. They sat or lay down, their expressions wandering, their eyes scattered, and from time to time scratching their necks and chests for red spots—a rash that had been produced by taking too many hallucinogens while they were agitated and confused.
Xia Bei's gaze did not linger on them. For the underground world, among the three types of people, the lowest level is this kind of "bug". Their lives have long been ruined by hallucinogens, and their effects are no different from those of raised animals.
Every day, I struggled to find a little money and filled it all in the hole of hallucinogens.
Obviously, that's not where the stalking feeling comes from.
The gaze continues to move.
More than 20 meters to the left, a black flying car was parked.
It's a luxury Athena, but it's at least a decade old.
The windows of the flying car were open, and a bald head sat in the back seat, seemingly eating and watching the on-board TV.
Several tall thugs were scattered around the flying car, eyeing anyone who dared to approach.
From time to time, someone nodded and came over, carefully taking out the card and handing it to a thug to transfer money. waited for the other party to accept the money, and then nodded and left.
These nodding guys are "rats". What he did was "raising insects", as well as some tricks, kidnapping, smuggling, and stealing.
In the underworld, these rats are the most powerful.
Whether it's listening to the news, or doing some goods that are usually difficult to obtain, it is not wrong to find them.
However, no matter which circle or street in the dungeon, they must make offerings to the "shepherd". Otherwise, let alone starting work, they don't even have the qualifications to show up on the block.
Once someone is caught doing "private work", it will be cut off at least with broken hands and feet, and at worst it will not even be able to save his life.
And the bald head sitting in the Athena flying car is the shepherd. It's just that he should just be a small leader in charge of the nearby area.
At the end of the day, the money he collected will be handed over to the big boss.
And above the big boss, there are higher-level existences. Of course, those people all lived in the upper echelons of the space city, dressed well, spoke elegantly, and were all rich and powerful people. It's hard to associate them with dungeons just by looking at their appearances.
For these, no one knows more than Xia Bei.
Therefore, with just one glance, Xia Bei knew that his feeling of being followed did not come from these people.
The Underworld has rules for the Underworld. People like themselves are the quintessential tourists. Usually, these people don't bother tourists.
Tourists come to the dungeon to spend.
Unless there are idiots who go to some places they shouldn't go and cause some trouble that they shouldn't be caused by themselves, otherwise, it is a big taboo to take on tourists.
Especially for the shepherds in charge of this neighborhood, if the tourists who die in their neighborhood are some big people who are dressed in white arowana suits to have fun, then they have to face an unnecessary trouble. At least it will be sacrificed to avoid disasters, and at worst, it will be completely swept away.
Therefore, if it is not necessary, no one will easily rob "tourists" and cut off their own financial routes. Most of these cases were committed by some rogue criminals.
Other than that, there were no other suspicious people in this small underground square.
Xia Bei frowned, thinking that he might be overhearted, parked the locomotive, and entered the hotel with Rouge.
"Xia Bei, why do you have time to come today?" As soon as he sat down, the burly old Song with an apron appeared in front of him, "Two people, come to a pot?"
"Good. Xia Bei greeted Lao Song and nodded.
Soon, the steam-pot chicken was served.
The steam pot of the old Song family is made of a stone called marble. The chicken and mushrooms and other ingredients are stuffed together, and the fragrance gathers but does not disperse, and it is very delicious.
Normally, Lao Song will make dozens of pots early in the morning, and there will be no more when they are sold out.
"If you win this gambling contest and take down the garage, are you going to go too?"
"I guess I'll go. Rouge thought for a moment and nodded.
"But you're not really interested. Xia Bei asked with a smile.
Rouge drank the soup, smiled with crooked eyes, and had a silent tacit understanding that you knew.
"Then when the time comes, let Shilong and them go to the repair shop, and we will do another business. Xia Bei picked up the soup bowl, blew it, and said.
"Business?" Rouge said, "But you're still in school?"
Xia Bei still has one year to graduate. According to the normal situation, during the period before graduation, the graduation thesis alone has to take up a lot of his time, and he is still working part-time, so participating in this gambling fight is already not a serious business, let alone doing business.
"No, it doesn't matter. Xia Bei said with a smile.
"Why doesn't it affect you?" Rouge put down the bowl, a rare trace of seriousness appeared on his breezy face, and said, "I can't delay your time." ”
In Rouge's heart, this nerd's studies are the most important.
Now that the world is in a depression, no one understands how difficult life is better than her. Like Dragon and Tiger Fengchi, a group of brothers who have never read any books, if they don't get out of the way, they can only do some odd jobs, and this is still the convenience of controlling the streets of the 11th district with Dragon and Tiger Fengchi.
If it weren't for that, they wouldn't even be able to find a part-time job.
Even many college students are now unemployed as soon as they graduate. Not to mention the high salary, even if it is a stable job with a salary of seventy or eighty yuan, there are countless people who break their heads and grab it.
Just look at this dungeon, which is far more lively than the ground, to know how many people have lost their jobs, lost their houses, and could not even afford to eat if it were not for government relief. In order to save a subsistence environmental tax, they would rather go to the underworld to nest.
Although Rouge doesn't know Xia Bei's life experience, it is obvious that he, like himself, is not a child of a wealthy family.
This means that for him, the time of graduation is the most important.
What is at stake for his future.
She didn't want to delay Xia Bei because of herself and the brothers of Dragon and Tiger.
Besides, now that the world is depressed, it is not easy to do any business. Rouge saw with his own eyes that many of the former prosperous businesses in the 11th district were now full of people and could not continue to operate.
And to do business, you have to invest capital first.
In case it smashes......
Looking at Rouge's worried eyes, Xia Bei laughed: "Worried that I won't find a job?"
Rouge lowered his head and circled the bowl with a spoon.
"I'm going to be a professional star fighter. "Xia Beidao.
Rouge jerked her head up and her eyes widened, her gaze surprised and incredulous.
"You're not ......"
In this world, idiots understand what it means to be a professional star fighter. However, although Xia Bei was growing up in the Tianxing school team before, she knew better that he was not the main player. Moreover, even the Heavenly Journey has only been for two or three months.
Why is he actually saying that he is going to be a professional star fighter now?!
"I'm nothing, white melon?" Xia Bei laughed, "I can't say a word, but when our business starts, you'll know." ”
"What business?" asked Rouge.
Xia Bei didn't answer, but suddenly turned his head and greeted an old man in the seat next to him: "Yan Mouse, have you eaten?"
The old man was short, thin, with a triangular face that looked rather like a mouse.
When Rouge entered the door, he saw him eating a pot of steam-pot chicken alone, never raising his head from beginning to end.
Don't look at him as small and small, but a whole pot of steam-pot chicken was eaten by him alone.
Even the soup was drunk.
What Rouge didn't expect was that Xia Bei actually knew him.
Hearing Xia Bei's greeting, the old man turned his head, got up and took out an envelope from his arms, threw it in front of Xia Bei, and then picked his teeth and staggered away.
Xia Bei took out his wallet from his body, counted five hundred star yuan, put it in an envelope, and then pushed it in front of Rouge: "This is a total of three thousand star yuan, the money for this bet." ”
Rouge opened the envelope and looked at it, but he didn't know why.
The gambling game needs to be invited and bet in advance, and Xia Bei said that he would pay the money, so Rouge was not surprised by this. But what she didn't understand was why Xia Bei came to the underground world to get the money, and what does this money have to do with the business he said?
"This money is what I call business earnings. Xia Bei smiled, "Two months." ”
Rouge's eyes widened all at once.
"Actually, it's more than that," Xia Bei said, "and that's just one of them." ”
This is the copy advertising fee transferred by Zhang Ming, but in order to avoid involving himself, Xia Bei still let him go through a procedure like the point exchange of the Hall of Glory.
And Yan Mouse is Xia Bei's old acquaintance, specializing in this kind of thing.
The money came out of him, and no one knew that the final destination was Xia Bei. On the other hand, Yan Mouse also doesn't know where the money comes from.
Rouge was already scared.
Two thousand five hundred star dollars in two months, and it's just one of them?
"What kind of business?" asked Rouge.
"Skywalk. Xia Bei smiled and said, "I can make money in Tianxing!"
