Chapter 363: Seats
Time flies in the surface world.
Everyone was looking forward to that moment in three days' time.
……
Underground at this time.
The same comes in the evening.
Lu Wen and Jin Xiong waited all day in the commercial area near the three-story building.
This is a real business district.
Dozens of streets around.
All walks of life.
Retail transactions, food and beverage, accommodation......
It is bustling and lively, the project is complete, and there is even a ring dedicated to fighting.
The crimson and pale pink lights lit up in the evening, patchwork together and shone on the broken clockwork and nostalgic bearings on the ground, deep rust shining in a barren color.
People of all races were mixed, crowded on the fairly wide road, and the sides were still flanked by low rooms.
He sat in a small teahouse down the street, with a large rusty metal gear embedded in the doorway.
People are coming and going outside.
The owner of the teahouse was a deformed man, with good facial features, well-coordinated limbs, and just the right height, but he had a third arm growing out of his back, and this arm was uncontrollable, unable to make any movements, just a pure burden, dangling behind his back.
The back arm is smaller than normal, like a baby's, and the color is not normal, pale and bloodless.
"How do you sleep?" Lu Wen asked.
"It's okay to lie on your stomach or on your side, but it's a little more uncomfortable."
The owner is very talkative and smiles all the time.
He is not shy about talking about his physical defects, and he has a cheerful personality, which he is used to for a long time.
"I see that the position of your arm is far away from the spine, you can do a simple minor surgery, and after the removal, you can return to normal and normal activities after half a year of recuperation."
"No, distinguished guest, I am not like you......"
He smiled, indicating that he didn't want to be a pure human in appearance.
To put it simply, not qualified.
His identity and status, money and power, all made him afraid to cut off that arm, and it was better to live as a deformed person.
Pure humans who have fallen into the mixed zone will receive a lot of unnecessary attention, and in the end they can only choose to transform themselves, become reformed people with a certain combat effectiveness, and fight for a place with their strength.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
Night fell completely
The bustle of the mixed district is at its peak.
Robots and cyborgs fight in the ring, slippery dwarves weave through the crowd, metal eaves illuminated by pink lights, giants standing under the eaves of protection, rusty animatrons running around wagging their tails, and cygmods stretching out their bronze metal arms and pinching the chins of young girls......
The streets were a little slippery, and there was an artificial rain in the afternoon.
The ground reflects the world in all its colours.
"Mr. Xia, it's time to go to the third floor."
"Hmm."
That towering building is just a short distance away.
More than three floors.
It was a building made of scrap steel, crisscrossed with rusty steel beams and a pink glow casting from within.
The building is crooked and irregular.
Raindrops cling to the potholes on the surface of the building.
Lu Wen looked up and felt that according to the normal height, this building should have exceeded five floors.
In fact, it was about the same as he thought.
When the metal door opens, the first floor is filled with sounds, lights and shadows, gorgeous and charming, and alcohol is the accelerant for the excitement and madness.
"Two gentlemen, please follow me."
The waiter led the two.
At the end of the first floor, the elevator, on one side is marked with a button for the -2nd floor to the 5th floor.
When the strength exceeds the second floor, you can control the height of the floor at will.
The owner of this three-story building thinks that he prefers the number 7.
"Fourteen areas, twelve of which are in charge here, and they are waiting for two."
Fifth floor.
The elevator doors open slowly.
The eye is a world of golden splendor, gold and white, clean and bright, pure white light is very dazzling, and the old and broken outside world forms a strong contrast.
It's a feast.
Huge and brilliant chandeliers.
Under the light is a long table with dishes on the table.
Fifteen plates, knives and forks.
The gap with Lu Wen's imagination is a bit big.
He also thought that it would be the kind played in the movie, where a big boss sat in the innermost high position of the hall, and there were small bosses standing on both sides of the hall.
The atmosphere was much more harmonious than Lu Wen imagined.
At least on the surface, it's harmonious.
The owner of the three-story building is named Ivan, in his thirties, he is a big fat man, very fat, he can't tell which is longer in height or body width, and he can only wear special clothes.
I saw the two of them ascending the stairs.
Ivan smiled and raised his wine glass, dressed in a close-fitting white suit, and greeted forward.
"The two brothers are here, and if they don't come to the food, it will be cold."
The flesh on his face trembled lightly with his expression, and the flesh on his body did not move.
Lu Wen took a quick look and determined that this Ivan was a special transformer, and the "meat" under the suit should be all machinery.
The old man walked forward, his trademark smile on his face, looking amiable, and he opened his mouth in response.
Although Lu Wen didn't like this kind of scene, he should also say a few words.
"Is this new brother actually a pure human?" Ivan smiled, a pair of small eyes narrowed, squeezed into a gap by the fat on his face, almost invisible.
He smiled and patted Lu Wen on the shoulder.
Although this person is fat, his height is unambiguous, about the same height as Lu Wen.
This slap on the shoulder, very strong.
But Lu Wen didn't move.
So Ivan then laughed and said: "It seems that it is not a pure human race, no wonder after cooperating with the Golden Bear brothers, you can kill that Hebrew idiot in one night." ”
Fourteen surrounding areas.
The other twelve owners of the two-story building were all looking at Lu Wen.
There was no malice in those gazes, and everyone was calm.
Lu Wen does look like a pure human race, with no traces of mechanical coverage on his body, and no characteristics of other races.
But the weak physique of the pure human race can't sit in the position on the second floor.
"Come on, come on, sit down first, and talk while eating."
Ivan pulled Lu Wen to sit down, and sat right next to him.
His smile can actually be described as cute, and fat people are always easy to make people feel good.
One dish after another is revealed, and the exquisite dishes are rarely seen in the outside mixing area.
"Brother Xia, how long have you known Brother Golden Bear?"
"Soon."
Lu Wen and Jin Xiong did not talk to each other in advance.
Jin Xiong didn't tell Lu Wen anything in advance that he needed to pay attention to, thinking that it should just be a simple meal.
"Actually, the second floor in our area still tries not to fight around, hurt and angry, brother, I am often laughed at in other three-story buildings, saying that I can't even sleep well in my area."
Ivan didn't look like he had much of a fight, and he put Lu Wen's shoulder on the shoulder, talking and laughing.
A few glasses of wine went down.
His fat face flashed with a burst of red light, and he introduced Lu Wen with a smile: "The one on your right is my old friend Kate, he is a blue man, and he is also the ...... who has sat on the second floor for the longest time here."
"On the further right, it's the robot Allen, don't underestimate his metal bone frame, he is the fastest robot in this area......"
"And the one who is from the Giants, and has been transformed to turn half of his body into metal......"
“……”
The banquet was quite lively.
Everyone had a smile on their faces, although they didn't know what was going on behind each other's smiling faces.
Many of you have actually had minor frictions.
Among the other twelve people at the scene, four had friction with the old man Jin Xiong.
After all, the regions are adjacent and some conflicts are inevitable.
There are verbal and physical ones.
But this is Ivan's territory, so even if they don't like each other, they all have to laugh.
The happier you laugh, the better.
And while laughing, raise glasses to each other and say something to the diaphragm.
Lu Wen also got some less important information as a result.
Like what.
[After the blue Kate sat on the second floor, he did not give any preferential treatment to his own race, but intensified it and raised the price of the potion, and many of the blue people in his area fled to other areas]
[After the giant Buzz sat in this position, he ordered the dwarves of the entire area to be expelled, and those who did not want to leave were slaughtered directly]
【……】
The hands of each owner of the second floor were stained with the blood of the same race or another race.
The Golden Bear's ascension to the top was not very smooth.
He had failed many times at the hands of the previous master on the second floor of that area, but each time he was lucky to survive, and he didn't win once until the previous master was old, his combat effectiveness declined, and he was no longer young.
So he is particularly sensitive to aging.
……
The time came to ten o'clock in the evening.
Satiated.
Lu Wen also got to know all the owners of the second floor.
These people are almost all physically modified, and they don't trust the abilities of their men.
Only if you are strong can you sit firmly in that position.
Ivan enthusiastically sent Lu Wen outside, and expressed the hope that he could get used to life here.
The night breeze blew and dissipated a lot of alcohol.
"Brother Lu Wen, you can come here more often when you have nothing to do, and just say hello if you need to."
"No problem."
Lu Wen smiled and nodded, and then left with the golden bear.
The two sat in a black car, and the lights were bright and bustling outside.
The receding scenery is reflected in the car window, like a meteor.
It didn't take long for the two to return to the area controlled by the Golden Bear.
Jin Xiong sent Lu Wen to that dilapidated street.
There were still a few blue people around who hadn't slept around, and they all cast awe on Lu Wen.
"Brother Lu Wen, I will contact you often in the future."
The golden bear stood in front of the car and reached forward.
"Yes."
Lu Wen also stretched out his right hand and shook it with him.
Then after a few brief greetings, the golden bear drove away.
The car started and slowly left with the golden bear.
Lu Wen always had a smile on his face.
His right hand hung down at his side.
The palm of the hand is inward, and there is a scratch that is neither deep nor shallow.
This is left by the blade of the golden bear's palm when he shook hands just now.
The Golden Bear was reminding him.
This old man knew that Lu Wen would soon go to the high-level world.
And others don't know.
So the words he sent to Lu Wen were: Keep in touch in the future.
Someone wants to keep Lu Wen here forever.
Naturally, he can't keep him alive.
[Dangerous]
……
Good night, book friends!
