Chapter 17: Heart of the River Styx
In front of the White Tiger Trading Co., Ltd., Yun Xiaotian was carrying a sleeping Xiaoxue, and Lin Hu was holding an umbrella next to him, most of his body was drenched in the rain.
"Heizi, take Xiaoxue back to sleep" Lin Hu shouted loudly,
Wait for Kuroko to come over with an umbrella and pick up Xiaoxue.
"Xiaotian, wait a minute, go out for a drink with me." Lin Hu said lightly.
"Okay, where to go?" Yun Xiaotian understood that Lin Hu's mood at this time was really not very good.
"Where there is wine"
"Damn, I didn't expect this rain to fall everywhere, it's really damn" Lin Hu and the two walked in the street with a black oilcloth umbrella.
The usually bustling Drew district is extraordinarily quiet under the rain, and all kinds of bricks, walls and stone tiles of different heights are densely packed together, shoulder to shoulder. Leaving no extra gaps, compared with the quiet, elegant, antique and empty sea moon just now, it is simply a world of difference.
I didn't know that the sewer was blocked on the side of the road, and I kept spitting out my "vomit", like a drunk man, lying on the side of the road, exuding a fishy smell.
It's not that the streets are more like narrow aisles, there are very few people, and some are just some company employees who have just gotten off work or big men who have returned from an adventure out of nowhere.
This rain may have been picked at a good time, most of the people did not bring umbrellas, or those who brought umbrellas have long since returned to the warm homes, and the rest of the people who are drenched in the rain here are those who have no foresight, but fortunately, the airtight and crowded houses in the Drew district do not let too much wind and rain in.
Lin Hu took Yun Xiaotian and continued to walk forward, Lin Hu didn't speak, Yun Xiaotian kept looking at the strange world around him, carefully avoiding the young women who were old or young in revealing clothes and standing on both sides of the road with umbrellas and light makeup.
The two walked into a bar called "Heart of the Styx", which was noisy and crowded, full of people drinking and bragging to each other, all kinds of characters in Hu Tian and Haiti, men and women mixed with all kinds of people, men's laughter, women's coquettish laughter mixed in the ears, everyone seemed to be full of smiles and happiness, but in Yun Xiaotian's eyes, it was so vain and false.
But here even the most false happiness seems to be precious.
"Xiaoice, two cups of the Heart of the Styx, my one plus a little more." Lin Hu said to a young waitress in a long crimson dress.
"Okay, Brother Tiger, you wait, it's right away."
The two of them sat in front of the bar, holding their cheeks with one hand, looking a little bored.
"Who is this little brother" A sloppy old man grabbed Lin Hu with one hand and Yun Xiaotian with the other, turning the bored two around.
"You haven't died in the Blood Willow Hill, turned into tree fat!" Lin Hu looked up and replied disdainfully
"My new brother, you can call him Xiaotian
"You kid knows how to curse you Lao Tzu and I will die, sad, I have always taken care of you" The sloppy old man looked sad, but he didn't look like it at all, but it was very funny, Yun Xiaotian had to hold back his laughter.
"You dare to call yourself my son, if my father hears it, you can't cramp and peel the skin, if you really take care of me, tell me the recipe of the Heart of Styx, don't worry that I can afford the money, I don't have much else now, it's money." Lin Hu has coveted the Heart of Styx for a long time.
"That's the cost of my food, no, no." The sloppy old man is very short of breath.
"Why don't I give my girl to you, Xiaoice, what a good, watery girl!"
"Daddy......!" I saw Xiaoice holding two glasses of lilac wine in his hand, and there was white smoke on them, psychedelic and enchanting.
"Ignore you!" After speaking, he threw two glasses of wine to Lin Hu and Yun Xiaotian
"Hehe, my girl is good at everything, but she's a little shy." The old man laughed
"My name is Zhao Wude, and my friends in the light area of the heart of the Styx call me Hades, haha, Lao Tzu is actually called Hades, funny, Lao Tzu with thin arms and legs is actually called the king, funny, you can call me Lao Zhao." Lao Zhao looked very approachable, but Yun Xiaotian didn't dare to underestimate him at all.
"I recently got a batch of goods, I'm interested in seeing them, but they're all high-quality products, and I can hear someone say how rich they are, and in the end they can't afford to buy them." Zhao Wude patted Lin Hu's shoulder, and pulled the two of them inside regardless of it. Not at all to give the two a chance to drink and refuse.
Lao Zhao took the two of them around, and soon came to a metal gate, Lao Zhao drove the two away, carefully did not know what was being done in front of the door, and when he heard a "bang", the metal door slowly opened.
"Come in, stunned," shouted the old man
"Yes, it's all my treasure." Lao Zhao smiled and was very proud
"As long as you marry my daughter, these will be yours in the future, and I will only have this one daughter." The old man continued to tempt.
Yun Xiaotian looked at the smooth silver alloy walls full of all kinds of weapons, although he was not sure, Yun Xiaotian intuitively felt that these were all original energy weapons.
"If you like anything, take it down and give it a try," the old man laughed.
"The Black Tiger Dragon Devouring Knife of the Nine Stars is not expensive, 100,000 Federation Black Crystal Coins" The old man saw Lin Hu pick up a three-foot-nine-inch big knife covered in black color, and said slowly. The price of the old man's newspaper is indeed not expensive, although the price of 100,000 federal black crystal coins is not low, but the original energy weapon is already valuable, not to mention the nine-star origin weapon, 100,000 federal black crystal coins may only be the cost price, and it is not a matter of increasing the price more than ten times when encountering a suitable buyer.
"It's really not expensive, I bought it." Lin Hu said lightly, but he was roaring angrily in his heart, "Damn, I've been bleeding all the time today, I haven't earned a dime, and I have forgotten to spend money, this is not a good limelight, I must stop it immediately." ”
"Master Zhao, how do you sell this Origin Gun?" Yun Xiaotian asked, holding a light blue Origin Gun in his hand
"Samsung's Bihai Jintao Origin Gun, with your current strength, you don't need physical bullets, relying on the original energy to excite alone, you can only shoot one shot at most, and I will give you thirty bullets, a total of 500 black crystal coins. I can't do less, and if I don't have it, I'll lose. The old man cursed in his heart, "Damn little Nizi, in order to marry you, Lao Tzu lost his blood." ”
"Yes." Yun Xiaotian saw Lin Hu nodded, understanding that the price was very cheap.
"What about this sword," Yun Xiaotian pointed to a three-foot-three-inch sea-blue exquisite saber on the wall
"This is not cheap, it was built by He Yan, the master of Seiko in the north of Fire Rock City, although it is only seven stars, but the price is not cheaper than the nine-star Origin Weapon, I heard that if something goes wrong, this is a moonlight-level Origin Sword that can also be used by a star, see if you like me, even if you have 100,000 black crystal coins" The old man's face did not change, but he shouted in his heart, "Don't afford it, this price is a big loss, if Xiao Nizi Zhao Bingxin can't get married, it will be a big loss." ”
"This is 200,000 Black Crystal Coins, you order." Yun Xiaotian stirred up the light blue energy, the ring in his hand flashed a faint blue light, and with a "bang", the two metal boxes hit the ground, and Yun Xiaotian opened the metal box, revealing the black crystal coins inside.
"Young man, so daring, aren't you afraid that I will kill you all here?" The old man smiled and looked at the two of them with a smile.
"I believe in you," Yun Xiaotian said lightly
"Hahaha, believe me, it's a nice joke, someone actually believes me" The old man seemed to hear the best joke.
Seeing Lin Hu's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, Yun Xiaotian knew that he might have really done something wrong, he was too relaxed during this time, and he actually became so casual when he started to do things.
"Haha, don't be afraid, isn't it just a space ring? If it had been twenty years earlier, you probably wouldn't have been able to get out of here today, but the old man, now that he is old, he doesn't like to toss when he is old, and he will only do business honestly. Seeing that the two of them were still facing the enemy, the old man was helpless.
"Is there anything else to buy? Don't buy people, don't waste my time, old man. The old man seemed a little angry.
"What kind of eyes are these, you boy! I really want to move you, you can still get out there. You didn't even have any bones left for me to eat. The old man saw that Lin Hu was still looking at him suspiciously, and he was furious in his heart, he finally had a good heart, and he was indeed suspected like this.
"Lao Zhao, thank you" Lin Hu put his mind at ease, obviously if the old man really had any intentions for himself, he and Yun Xiaotian really didn't have a chance at all.
"Humph!" The old man obviously didn't buy it.
"When you come out to walk, you have to be very careful, you must know that wealth is not exposed, and people are like tigers, and people's hearts are like tigers. At first glance, you are a young boy who has just come out, and it doesn't matter if you harm your own life, but don't hurt others and be unlucky with you," the old man looked at Yun Xiaotian and said.
"You really think my nickname "Hades" is a joke! Hey. The old man's temperament changed at this time, and in an instant, he seemed to be like a mountain and a sea, oppressing Yun Xiaotian.
"Go back to the bar" Hades laughed and dragged the two back to the bar. Laughing along the way, as if something very funny had happened.
