Chapter 7: 1 Encounter of Fate (I)
"I've worked hard for you today, Brother Zun!"
Seeing Xuanyuan Zun coming out of the "fully immersed" machine, Zhang Yichao, a young man who was watching the store, hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him warmly. But he was so attentive for another purpose - "Well, my equipment...... Are you ready? Zhang Yichao asked.
Xuanyuan Zun glanced at Zhang Yichao coldly and immediately looked away. One second is too much, Xuanyuan Zun is too lazy to look at this guy at all.
"I asked someone to send it to you, you can go to the game and check it."
"Thank you, thank you!" Zhang Yichao said with a smile.
Indeed, Zhang Yichao's impression at first glance was not very good. Overly shrewd, he had a thief-eyed face that matched his personality, which made Xuanyuan Zun quite disdainful. Although he is a well-equipped player, most of these equipment are not provided by him, most of them are provided by Xuanyuan Zun. After all, this is his family's Internet café - Xuanyuan Zun provides the equipment, and he is exempt from the game fee.
"So, how are the hunting missions, supplies, and supply preparations going in two days?"
A little stuttering, Zhang Yichao asked. But Xuanyuan Zun only cared about lowering his head and counting the money he got in exchange for "setting up a stall" today, thinking about his own affairs, and completely ignored him. This made Zhang Yichao very unhappy. But he didn't show it, he just kept cursing this poor boy in his heart - when one day you are useless, I will kick you out!
Xuanyuan Zun felt that money had never been enough, and he hated the stench emitted by coins, but he couldn't do without him.
"It doesn't seem like it's enough, but she's going to take the exam tomorrow, so at least she has to prepare well tonight."
While feeling the touch of the banknote in his hand, and the disgusting smell, he once again felt deeply the pressure of life on him.
In fact, he himself understands that today's income is at a normal level, and he can barely cover all the expenses needed for tomorrow's day, and set aside a part of the money to prepare for the rent at the end of the month. But because her sister is facing the exam from elementary school to junior high school tomorrow, she can't be allowed to eat so badly in the past two days. However, despite Xuanyuan Zun's thoughts, it is still not easy to add some meat flavor to today's income. In the game, he can earn income by trading items, but in real life, he has no other way to survive.
Either way, I can't let her go hungry today. Thinking like this, Xuanyuan Zun subconsciously touched the knife in his pocket - this knife he hadn't used for a long time.
"Walk slowly!"
Looking at the back of Xuanyuan Zun leaving, Zhang Yichao said in a sweet voice, people who don't know will even have a. But after Xuanyuan Zun's figure left the store, he immediately changed his face and changed his expression, and then spat on the ground with disdain.
"It's just a good game, a poor ghost, proud of something. If I hadn't relied on him to collect gear, I'd have let him go! ”
However, Xuanyuan Zun's sharp senses had already sensed those small movements behind him. At a young age, he already knew that the smiles in this world are sometimes so hypocritical.
The city is bustling and gorgeous, with the endless flow of people on the streets and the traffic on the highways, all of which are in stark contrast to Xuanyuanzun's dirty clothes. Every minute of the city, he could feel the disdainful gazes cast at him by the crowd around him, but he was used to it. He fumbled for the knife in his pocket, looking for someone to start with—the kind of target that he had to give himself an excuse for, someone who could do it, and who didn't feel guilty.
Suddenly, Xuanyuan Zun's thin body almost completely lost its center of gravity - a middle-aged man who was driving the tram hit him!
The man has an upright face and a straight suit. But when Xuanyuan Zun was about to apologize, the other party scolded directly!
"Hey, dead imp, you bumped into me, don't you have eyes? Do you know how much I only pay for clothes? Can you afford to pay for it? ”
Xuanyuan Zun originally thought that this was an honest office worker, who knew that there was such an ugly heart under the bright appearance. He was sorry for the kindness he had just wanted to apologize for a moment. He looked at the man with his cold eyes.
"Tsk, why are you looking at me like that? Don't get out of here! ”
In fact, for the past few minutes, Xuanyuan Zun had been looking for his prey in the crowd - those hooligans who bullied others. After searching for a long time without finding a target, he at one time thought that the quality of the city had reached a whole new height. However, it turned out that it was he who was thinking too much. On his hunting list, Xuanyuan Zun added a new kind of "prey" - well-dressed beasts!
However, Xuanyuan Zun knew very well the purpose of his coming out, which was to "hunt". Therefore, he did not have even the slightest argument with this man, but just pretended to be cowardly and apologized honestly.
"I'm sorry." Xuanyuan Zun's voice was not loud or small, just right.
Seeing that this poor creature was so submissive, the man snorted coldly, dropped a sentence of "be careful next time", and then straightened his neckline and was about to leave. And Xuanyuan Zun, who passed by the man with his head down, quickly bounced back and forth with the knife that had been prepared long ago and hidden in the sleeve of his right hand very sharply under the man's seemingly gorgeous pants and trouser pockets! Such a fast vibration frequency is not something that ordinary people can do at all, but Xuanyuan Zun has done it very easily! A crack was easily opened in the man's pocket, and the wallet naturally slipped out of it. All this was done in an instant, and the middle-aged man did not notice it in the slightest.
“…… Deserve! ”
Xuanyuan Zun said in his heart. In less than two seconds, the wallet was in hand! But at this moment, he suddenly felt that everything around him seemed to stop for a second! A pair of eyes flashed in his mind without warning—this made Xuanyuan Zun's entire back chill slightly, as if he had returned to the northern realm!
Because he had just been cursed like that by the big man, the eyes of the people around him naturally stayed on Xuanyuan Zun's body. The hustle and bustle of the city quickly pulled Xuanyuan Zun's consciousness back, and he lowered his head and left quickly, after all, his goal had been achieved. It's just that the feeling of being stared at just now lingers, as if someone has caught his behavior!
"Is it my delusion?"
Xuanyuan Zun asked himself in his heart. He kept reminiscing about the feeling just now, and it was still too weird.
"Incredible! It's like ...... It's like someone found out! ”
Xuanyuan Zun quickly calmed himself down. But as soon as he came to the alley, he remembered the feeling he had just felt, and that godless eye appeared in his mind, making him extremely uncomfortable. That strange feeling just now was the first time he felt a real threat. However, after shuttling in the alley so many times, the other party will definitely not be able to catch up. Taking two deep breaths, he opened his wallet. Inside the thick wallet was a mess of cards and a few pieces of paper...... "Cut, is there only such a pile of loose money...... I thought there would be a little more. ”
Xuanyuan Zun took out all the more than 100 yuan in his wallet and threw his wallet on the ground by the way. Like this, Xuanyuan Zun didn't want to take more things from a vain guy like this.
"What a nasty guy,"
Xuanyuan Zun spat on his wallet.
"A scumbag like this deserves to be paid by me!"
Xuanyuan Zun said coldly. However, he didn't realize that there was already a person standing behind him, and it was an extremely beautiful girl.
"Even if you're right...... Stealing from someone is a bad act...... Whatever the reason......"
At the moment when Xuanyuan Zun turned around and wanted to leave the alley, a gentle but resolute voice broke into Xuanyuan Zun's world.
