Chapter 208: Into the Crystal Valley
Crystal Valley is an underground city in Juze, named because there are many crystal veins in the place, and it is a place where wealthy people are concentrated.
Although Shangguanqi didn't know if the group of people mentioned by the restaurant guy was the target he was looking for, he still decided to go to Jinggu to have a look, as long as there was a slight possibility, he couldn't just let it go.
If you want to go to Crystal Valley, you must enter the underground world, and Shangguanqi made some simple preparations and embarked on the journey to Crystal Valley.
Descending from the rift to the bottom of the rift, the surrounding light gradually dimmed, as if it had traveled from day to night in a matter of minutes.
The bottom of the rift valley is wider than expected, and a railway is sandwiched between two parallel streets, from where Kamikanzaki is taking a train to Crystal Valley.
Shangguanzaki first went to the station to buy a ticket, and then waited on the platform with other passengers for the train to arrive.
As a bell rang, two bright lights broke through the darkness and shone on the platform, instantly stretching the shadows of everyone into a long and long shadow.
The train stopped at the station, and through the window, it could be seen that there were not many passengers in the bright carriage, and Shangguanqi walked into the carriage with the other passengers, and casually found a vacant seat to sit down.
A few minutes later, another bell rang, and the train, which was designed to run underground, slowly started and continued to move deeper underground.
Shangguanqi pressed the button next to the window, and the window glass immediately changed, so that Shangguanqi could clearly see outside through the window.
I saw the train go all the way along the rift, and after about ten minutes, the rift came to an end, and a huge tunnel appeared in front of it.
The train begins to accelerate as it enters the tunnel, and there is no change in the window, it is always the same tunnel wall.
Shangguanqi was not interested in looking out the window anymore, so he turned on the holographic projection next to the seat to check the timetable of the train. According to the train timetable, the train will arrive in Crystal Valley in 4 hours.
Shangguanzaki set a arrival reminder in the timetable, then leaned back in the chair, and fell asleep after a short time.
Just as the train was about to arrive at Crystal Valley, Kamikanzaki's seat vibrated and woke him up from his sleep. When I opened my eyes, I saw that there were only a few guests left in the carriage, and most of the passengers had already gotten off the train.
A few minutes later, the train finally arrived at Jinggu Station, and Shangguanzaki got off the train and walked straight outside the station.
The underground world is very different from what Shangguanqi imagined, originally Shangguanqi thought that the underground world must be a dark and oppressive place, but the reality is completely opposite to his imagination, not only is it dark, but it is very bright.
Due to the large number of lighting devices that simulate sunlight, the underground world is very commanding, almost indistinguishable from daytime. As long as you don't deliberately look up, you won't even notice that this is a huge cavern deep underground.
Looking at the speeding cars on the street and the green belts on both sides of the road, Shangguanzaki didn't feel much difference between this place and other cities on the surface.
"How do you find those people next?" Shangguanqi asked himself in his heart.
It stands to reason that if you want to inquire about information, you should go to a place where people gather, such as restaurants and bars.
However, the city of Jinggu is bigger than expected, who knows how many restaurants and bars there are in the city, and it takes an unknown amount of time to find them one by one, which is undoubtedly an impossible task for Shangguanqi.
Shangguan Qi had an idea, and thought, "Instead of me looking for them one by one, it's better for them to come to me." Since most of them came here to do business, and the arms trade happened to be the most interesting thing for the overseas colonies, it was better to use this as bait. ”
Soon Shangguanzaki had a plan, and instead of going to restaurants and bars, he turned around and walked towards a clothing store.
Half an hour later, Shangguanqi was completely different from head to toe, and now he was like a greasy nouveau riche, with a golden cheesiness all over his body.
Calling a taxi from the Internet, Shangguanqi sat in the car, and the artificial intelligence immediately asked, "Dear passenger, please tell me the destination, and I will send you to the destination right away." ”
Shangguanqi thought for a moment and said, "Please take me to the liveliest bar in the city." ”
In the noisy bar, red men and green women dance in a psychedelic holographic virtual environment, and the surrounding environment is sometimes a green jungle, sometimes a starry space, no matter what kind of scene, it is so lifelike, as if you are in a real environment.
At the bar, he ordered a drink that could change color constantly, the name of this wine was Dream, and looking at the liquid that kept changing colors and textures in the glass, Shangguansaki was a little skeptical about whether it was alcohol or not.
After taking a sip, the taste seems to be nothing special, and it is similar to a regular cocktail. Kamikanzaki observed the surroundings while accosting the bartender, intentionally or unintentionally.
"This place seems to be quite good, I didn't expect there to be such an entertainment place under this ground." Kamikanzaki commented.
The bartender glanced at Shangguanzaki and quickly judged that this was an upstart, probably just had some money, and wanted to see this kind of high-end entertainment venue.
"It's nothing, although Crystal Valley is underground, there are a lot of rich people here." The bartender said with some contempt.
"How many rich people can there be here, and who will live in such caves." Shangguan Qi scoffed.
The bartender smiled and shook his head, obviously laughing at Shangguanqi in his heart for being a dirt bun, thinking that he had a few dollars in his pocket and was judging everywhere. The bartender has seen a lot of such people, so he doesn't bother to argue with Guan Qi and continues to bury his head in his own business.
Seeing that the bartender didn't talk, Shangguanzaki decided to continue to stimulate him, and said, "What do the people here live on, do they rely on digging pits?" Or do you grow potatoes? Do the people who live here have some psychological problems? ”
When the bartender heard Shangguanzaki say this, he felt a little unhappy, but he still ignored it.
Shangguan chattered endlessly and continued: "I have been to a lot of places, the most shabby is Juze, all of them are hiding underground, and after a long time, there will definitely be something wrong with the brain." ”
"Enough!" The bartender finally couldn't help but say, "This guest, you're probably drunk, why don't I let someone send you out." ”
"I just had a drink, how can I get drunk?" Shangguan Qi looked like a scoundrel and said, "You pour me another glass, ask for the best wine, uncle, I have money." ”
This bar is the most expensive bar in the city, and the bartender here is not an ordinary person, and seeing that Shangguanzaki is talking more and more, he finally decides to kick this nouveau riche out.
I saw the bartender pressing a few times under the bar, and soon several big men came out of the dark corner, one left and one right, sandwiching Shangguanqi in the middle.
"Guest, we'll take you out to sober up, and then continue drinking when you're awake." One of the big men said with a wicked smile on his face.
Shangguan Qi was waiting for this, pretending not to understand anything, and asked in a loud voice, "What do you want to do?" I wasn't going to leave yet, what did you tell me to do? ”
Several big men saw that Shangguanqi was toasting and not eating and drinking, so they stopped talking nonsense, and one of Shangguanqi's arms was about to be dragged out.
However, these people didn't know that Shangguan Qi was not only a master of mecha piloting, but also a special soldier with super combat effectiveness, and a bodyguard like this could not be his opponent at all.
"Bang bang bang!" With a few muffled sounds, the big men who wanted to drag Shangguanqi away had already collapsed to the ground, their faces becoming extremely distorted, and it was conceivable that they were in great pain now.
The bartender didn't even see what was going on, and several of the bodyguards had all fallen to the ground, and the whole process was unbelievably fast.
"You...... You...... What do you want to do? The bartender asked in horror.
"It's nothing, I'm just here for fun." Shangguan Qi said nonchalantly: "By the way, you haven't served me the wine I ordered just now, please act faster." ”
The bartender didn't have the heart to serve wine to Shangguanqi, so he heard him say in a trembling voice: "You...... You...... Give me...... Waiting for ......"
With that, the bartender ran to the other side of the bar without asking him if he was going to move the rescuers.
No one noticed when Shangguanqi put down the three big men, but at this time, many people had already discovered the situation, a nouveau riche look, with three big men lying at his feet, no need to ask if this was the rhythm of the accident.
So there were more and more people waiting to see the excitement, and they gradually formed a circle not far from Shangguanqi.
The bartender's legs and feet were fast enough, and after a while, he heard a noisy noise, watching the lively crowd being forcibly separated, and a group of big men came to Shangguanqi's side surrounded by a middle-aged man.
"This guest, please advise if there is any misservice from our staff." The middle-aged man said.
Shangguan Qi squinted at the other party, this middle-aged man looked very thin, and his hands and feet were very slender, and he looked a little similar to stick insects.
"Bamboo pole monster, are you talking to me?" Shangguanqi sneered.
"Bamboo pole monster?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the other party was making fun of his appearance.
Without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, several big men under him shouted first: "Where are you a bastard!" How dare you call us the masters like that! ”
The middle-aged man waved his hand and signaled his subordinates not to speak, and then said to Shangguan Qi: "Friend, are you also on the road?" Want to deliberately find trouble today? ”
As soon as Shangguanqi heard this person speak, he knew that he was definitely not the real owner of this bar, at most he was the leader of the scene, and the weight was still too light.
Shangguanzaki's purpose is to lure the owner of the bar out, and then release the news for himself through here, so Shangguanzaki is not afraid of making a big fuss.
"It's not about looking for trouble, it's just that I have something to talk to the owner of this bar." Shangguan Qi turned his head to look at the middle-aged man and said, "If you can invite him out, I will show mercy to my subordinates and let you be beaten less." ”
