Chapter 18: One Hand, One Life
"Dude, how many years have you been playing arcade?"
Xiaobei, known as the '97 Prince', had a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at Luo Yang, who had just sat down, and asked very stinkyly.
"Arcade? What is an arcade machine? "Luo Yang really hasn't heard of arcade machines yet.
Hahahaha......
As soon as Luo Yang's words came out, they attracted bursts of laughter.
"Haha, shad, what a big sha!"
"Sitting in front of the arcade by myself, I don't know what the arcade is, it's really funny!"
"That's it, you still dare to challenge our little brother Bei, it's really looking for death!"
"That's right! I remember! You're the guy who just asked me, what kind of game is this! I don't even know 'The King of Fighters 97', and I dare to sit down and compete with Brother Xiaobei, I really don't know whether to live or die! ”
'Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......'
Xiaobei coughed a few times, and the discussion behind him subsided, presumably he was very authoritative in this group of teenagers.
"So this is an arcade machine, huh? We used to call them game consoles back then! Luo Yang was not annoyed, and said with a smile, with these children who are at least ten years younger than him, there is no need to be angry.
Xiaobei took a puff of cigarette, smoked it straight to the butt of the cigarette, and didn't take it out of his mouth without using his hands, he directly lowered his head and spit it on the ground, followed by a thick mouthful of saliva mixed with phlegm.
'Thorn ......'
The spit landed squarely on the red cigarette butt, making a soft noise, and then dimly extinguished. Without hundreds or thousands of repeated exercises, it is absolutely impossible to succeed, let alone lift weights like this.
Luo Yang is a little more interested in the young man named 'Xiaobei' in front of him, and he can practice thousands of times and persevere, which shows that his character is tenacious and has the strength to never admit defeat.
――If he hadn't left the 'organization', Luo Yang wouldn't mind developing a new member with potential.
"Game consoles? So, uncle, you're still a hardcore player! Hehe......"
The last 'hehe', purely for the sake of hehe, hehe, there is no smile at all, with a trace of disdain, but also with absolute confidence, as if he is the king of '97 fighting', whether you are a rookie master or a senior strongman, you must surrender at my feet!
Luo Yang looked at his stinky fart, smiled slightly, turned his head and found the young man behind him who mocked him for not even knowing what 97 fights were, took out a box of Chinese cigarettes from his pocket, took one in his pocket, pulled out one and threw it to the young man behind him, and said, "Hey, who is who...... You can help me choose! ”
The young man looked at the cigarette in his hand and swallowed his saliva violently, especially after seeing the word 'China' on the cigarette body, he was even more shocked, and the onlookers next to him showed a greedy look and a look of envy!
You know, these teenagers are wandering around the game hall, they don't have much money on them, and some can't even afford to buy game currency, they just like it here and come to play blindly!
Here, those who can afford to smoke are all 'rich people', but the grade of cigarettes is below 10 yuan, and there are few who can afford to smoke 7 yuan 'Double Happiness', and most of them smoke broken cigarettes of about 3 yuan.
"Got one?" Luo Yang saw the '97 Prince' Xiaobei beside him, his eyes swept to the cigarette case in his hand from time to time, smiled, and handed over a cigarette.
Xiaobei hesitated for a moment, struggling slightly, but in the end, his 'arrogance' did not defeat the temptation of 'Chinese' cigarettes, he took the cigarette, put the cigarette in front of his nose, sniffed it fiercely, and his face was full of intoxication.
"Thanks!" Becky Road.
Luo Yang lit a cigarette for himself, took a sharp puff, spit out a very huge eye circle, smiled, and did not speak.
"Pure PK is boring, not exciting enough! Seeing that you are quite rich, you should not add some 'toppings'! There was a hint of cunning in Xiaobei's eyes.
"Toppings? What is a 'topping'? Luo Yang was puzzled.
"It's a bet!" The young man who got Chinese cigarettes behind him explained diligently.
Luo Yang smiled indifferently: "Yes, how much is the bet?" ”
Xiaobei thought for a moment and boldly stretched out a finger.
"A thousand? Yes, you can! Luo Yang said.
Yes?
There was an exclamation behind him!
Xiao Bei's eyes widened, and her delicate face was a little evil, and she was all stunned at the moment.
The teenagers who mix in the game hall, some of them are very rich, but they are by no means these people who play fighting arcades, those rich children, all go to the high-end 'gambling' game halls, either playing slot machines, Apple machines, or playing more exciting 'fishing', and 'Mercedes-Benz BMW', there are tens of thousands at every turn, and there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of people who lose hundreds of thousands or even millions a month, but these teenagers in tattered clothes, sloppy, smoking a pack of broken cigarettes for two yuan are obviously not among them.
One of Xiaobei's fingers represents ten yuan, in fact, there are only three one-yuan coins left in his pocket, to put it bluntly, he is relying on his absolute strength to empty the gloves of the white wolf!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Luo Yang opened his mouth, it was one thousand, for him and his friends, one thousand yuan, that was an unimaginable astronomical amount!
After the consternation, there is the surprise!
Isn't this shading! It's clear that he is a stunned person who came to send money!
Xiaobei glanced at the calm Luo Yang, took two deep puffs of cigarette, and forced himself to calm down, but his voice was still a little trembling, and he said with excitement that could not be concealed: "Dude, you won't fool me, right?" ”
Luo Yang was happy and began to tease him: "Am I your uncle or your buddy?" ”
"This ...... If you really dare to bet, you are my big brother! "Xiaobei was both excited and anxious in his heart, and he actually resorted to the agitation method, if this is in the officialdom, it is 'killing'!
"Since I agreed, I won't go back!" Luo Yang's whole person was shrouded in smoke, hazy, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.
Xiaobei swallowed his saliva and said: "There is no basis for what you say, if you lose, what will you do when the time comes?" ”
"Then why do you believe me?" Luo Yang asked quietly, he thought that this child named Xiaobei was very funny and funny.
"This ......" Xiaobei thought for a while and said, "You take out a thousand yuan first, let me take a look, and I will believe it!" ”
Luo Yang smiled, took out a stack of money from the pocket of his clothes, snapped it, and slammed it on the control panel of the game console.
'Gollum'' 'Gollum' ......'Gollum'
The sound of swallowing saliva instantly sounded all around, and Xiaobei's palms began to sweat, sweating constantly.
This stack of money, judging from its thickness, is definitely more than a thousand, at least more than three thousand! This money was exactly what Luo Yang got from Huang Chao and Tie Zhong, two outlaws, a total of 20,000 yuan, which was stuffed in the suitcase and placed in the school's 'dormitory'.
"If you win, it's all yours! If you lose, you just give me a thousand! Luo Yang said generously.
"Okay! Let's get started! "Becky can't wait.
"Wait," Luo Yang said, "Now, do you have to see your sincerity...... Brother! ”
"This ......"
Xiaobei is in trouble now, let alone a thousand, even ten yuan he can't pay it! Even if the money of these 'bitter brothers' behind him is put together, it will definitely not exceed ten yuan......
Xiaobei gritted her teeth and said, "Anyway...... There's no way I'm going to lose! ”
Luo Yang smiled and said, "What if you lose." ”
"Impossible!" Xiaobei is quite stubborn, or absolutely confident,
"There's always a case, right?" Luo Yang is very patient, because for the young man called 'Xiaobei' in front of him, for some reason, he has a good impression inexplicably, if he changes to someone else, how can he waste so many spittle stars with him, and he will call it up with a slap, and the other party will be looking for teeth all over the ground!
How could Luo Yang not see that the other party was a poor boy at all, let alone a thousand, I am afraid that he would not even be able to pay for a box of lunches, he just wanted to see how this young man was a 'white wolf with empty gloves'!
Xiaobei thought about it for a long time, but couldn't say why.
Luo Yang shook his head, looked disappointed, and didn't say much, stood up from the double bench, grabbed the money on the board with his hand, presumably because Xiaobei couldn't take out the corresponding bet, so he was ready to leave.
Xiaobei was in a hurry, the corners of her mouth crossed a ruthless color, and her eyes were resolute and shouted: "Wait a minute! ”
Luo Yang was about to hold the hand of the money, stopped, and looked at Xiaobei with interest.
Xiaobei suddenly touched his pocket, took out a switchblade from his pocket, and gently pressed the mechanism button, and with a 'snap', a sharp knife seven or eight centimeters long popped out.
"What, you want to rob?" Luo Yang was stunned for a moment, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Xiaobei gritted his teeth, threw it lightly, and pressed the switchblade against thousands of yuan bills.
"If I lose, this left hand is yours!" Xiaobei said fiercely, shaking his sweaty, slightly trembling left hand.
Luo Yang was stunned again, this kid is really ruthless, he actually thought of such a trick, you know, only gamblers who are really crazy will use such life-threatening tricks as chopping fingers and chopping hands, exchanging their lives for money!
"Chopping hands? If I don't cut off your hands, if I cut off your hands, I'll have to go to jail, break the law, you know! Luo Yang shook his head and said.
"Don't you cut it, I'll cut it myself!" Xiaobei gritted her teeth and said.
Luo Yang still shook his head: "What do I want your hand for?" Chop it down and you can't make 'braised pig's trotters', the flesh and blood are blurry, it's disgusting! ”
Luo Yang, who is so murderous and accustomed to all kinds of bloody scenes, actually said that a severed hand is 'disgusting', and if other guys in the 'organization' hear it, they will definitely laugh so much that snot and tears will flow out!
"That'...... So what do you say? "Where is Xiaobei begging for war, it is clearly 'kneeling and begging'.
Luo Yang flicked the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it with the sole of his shoe, and said: "Your life may be worth some money, you have to gamble, this bet your life!" ”
The corners of Xiaobei's eyes jumped, and he glanced at the thick stack of no less than three thousand yuan pressed under the switchblade, thinking of his absolute strength in beating the invincible opponents in Qingyang City, he slapped the control panel of the game console and agreed: "Okay!" If I lose, this life is yours, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, if I cheat, my mother's ancestors will not be at peace for eighteen generations! ”
Xiaobei is indeed ruthless enough, in order to make Luo Yang believe, even the eighteenth generation of his ancestors was pulled out of the ancestral grave.
Luo Yangfu sat down again and looked coldly at the switchblade on the table: "Okay, then let's play!" ”
A fighting battle that later became the legend of the 'arcade world' in the entire Qingyang City and even the entire Cheongju Province finally kicked off.
