Heavy metal rock 'n' roll fills every inch of the speakeasy's space.

Zhao Sen is accustomed to this kind of life, silently doing his work at the bar, ignoring the drunken carnival men and women on the dance floor and the booths.

I don't know when robots have entered the homes of ordinary people, but machines are not omnipotent, and most customers still prefer "people" to serve them, rather than cold machines.

Zhao Sen's income from working in a bar, not counting the tips given by customers, is almost the level of a waiter who buys, repairs, and maintains two machines by the bar owner.

"Xiao Sen, your brother asked me to hand you something." A friend walks by the bar and throws a bag.

"Thank you."

Zhao Sen responded, took it on the spot, and started with a heavy one. He turned his back and opened the bag to take a look, and was startled by the thick wad of large-denomination bills inside.

In addition to the banknotes, there is also a document. When I took it out, it was a copy of the lifetime contract signed by my brother with the Hunters Club.

In other words, Zhao Fei did not only sign for five to ten years like others, but directly signed for life. The money in the bag is a "settling-in fee" given by the Hunters Club.

On the other hand, this also shows that in the ten days since his younger brother disappeared, he passed the preliminary audition. As long as he can survive the future training and missions, the salary is higher than that of other contractors.

Zhao Sen didn't know what to say, this was his younger brother's own choice, and he didn't have much reason to intervene. The amount of money was not small, and he put the bag in his arms and hid it close to him.

Bang bang bang!

For some reason, the bar suddenly broke out, with two groups of people fighting in the middle of the dance floor, bottles, tables and chairs flying, and women wearing heavy makeup screaming loudly to cheer the men.

Such fighting scenes are very common, and it is not once or twice that people are killed, so Zhao Sen will not go to the cooperation, let them fight to the death, and disperse after enough fighting.

"What's the fuss? Stop! ”

In the corner of the bar, a young man stood up with an angry face on his face and yelled loudly. But no one cared, instead a few bottles were smashed at him.

"I said, stop!" A burst of red light erupted around the young man, and the smashed bottle flew out and shattered.

The bar suddenly turned from noisy to silent, and all eyes of both the rough man and the bewitching women were on the young man.

Blood Warrior! And it's also a blood warrior who can release qi and blood!

There are only two ways for civilians to get ahead, that is, either to awaken their superpowers and become an elemental warrior or telekinesis, or to become a warrior through cultivating qi and blood.

However, cultivating qi and blood is not only difficult and difficult, but also requires a large number of medicines to strengthen the body.

Qi and blood warriors are the same as superpowers, they are divided into nine levels, and the specific division Zhao Sen is not very clear, he only knows that this young man can release qi and blood, at least a three-star warrior.

Soon after the young man calmed down the chaos, the bar owner appeared and went to apologize with a smirk.

The owner of the bar, Gao Tai, is a strong and strong man, who worked at the Hunter Club when he was young, and is a one-star blood warrior. However, in front of young men, it is obviously not a grade.

"Komori, bring the wine from cabinet one."

Hearing the shout, Zhao Sen hurriedly took the wine designated by the boss to the booth, and the young man's face softened slightly, and he waved his hand and sat down.

"I'm the new sheriff of the Southern District, Chen Feiyu."

"Yes, Brother Chen, you will be covered in the future." Gao Tai smiled all over his face: "Brother Chen can release his blood and qi at such a young age, he must have come out of the military, right?" ”

"You've got a bit of eyesight, not bad." Chen Feiyu smiled and nodded.

After the establishment of the Earth Alliance, in principle, the armies of various countries have been disbanded, and the internal friction has been stopped and the external resistance to dimensional invasion has been stopped. As a result, the alliance formed three major armies, the military, the official hunters' guild, the corporation, or the sectarian family.

Generally speaking, district sheriffs are usually recommended by members of the Hunters' Guild after their contracts expire, and most of the warriors of the military have been trained on the planet Kotal, especially if they are so young and promising.

Therefore, the young man in front of him is either offended or sent down for other reasons, in short, it is not a good errand to come here to take office, and it is understandable that he is in a bad mood.

The owner of the bar, Gao Tai, called a few young girls to accompany him for a drink, and Zhao Sen was relieved and returned to the bar to continue his chores.

To be honest, he was very envious of this young man named Chen Feiyu, and envied the identity and status of the other party, compared to the other party, he was simply a world apart.

Civilians can also cultivate qi and blood, and the cultivation methods of the first three levels can be found on the Internet at will, and if there are civilians who can cultivate before the age of twenty to break through the two-star level, they can be eligible to join the military or be directly selected into the Hunter Guild.

Because of the armed intervention of the dimensional world, the earth needs a sufficient number of warriors to deal with the war of the enemies against the warriors

Demand has been strong.

If you want to cultivate qi and blood, there are two aspects, one is sweat plus diligence, and the other is science and technology plus drugs.

As long as you have the money, it is not surprising to buy drugs from the Internet or the black market to "prop up" yourself to a three-star fighter, but without actual combat experience, the combat standard will be greatly reduced.

It sounds like cultivating qi and blood is so simple, but the price of medicine is too expensive, and Zhao Sen's salary for half a year without eating or drinking is enough to buy a bottle of the cheapest enhancer.

For example, when the bar owner Gao Tai was working hard in the Hunter Guild, he would take one bottle every week, and he often honed on the death line of fighting mutant creatures, and it took three years to become a one-star blood warrior.

Therefore, Zhao Sen is not unable to afford it, but he cannot afford to drink. What is two bottles a year? At most, let him strengthen his body.

Of course, Heaven is fair. The efficacy of the booster is relatively neutral, and it is a relatively safe type without sequelae.

There is a "supernatural potion" sold on the black market, which is ten times more expensive than the booster, and the effect of the medicine is violent, which can stimulate the evolution of the body to the greatest extent, especially if you take it for the first time.

But the effect of this potion is quite obvious, if you are unlucky, you will directly support your body to burst into blood and blow up to death. Of the 100 users, only three or five will survive.

The Super God Potion is a semi-finished product of the Evolution Elixir developed by the Alliance, and it can be regarded as a failed product, and it is a banned drug on the market.

His younger brother Zhao Fei joined the Hunters Guild, which gave Zhao Sen a lot of stimulation, he always thought that he wanted to live an life, but he never thought that he was a little envious of his brother's choice at the moment.

"Either live a wonderful life or die quickly."

He looked at the new sheriff who was chatting and laughing with several young women in the booth, Chen Feiyu, a three-star blood warrior, and suddenly felt an inexplicable impulse in his heart.

"Borrowing money? How much to borrow? ”

"Fifty thousand!"

"Damn, you're robbing. What do you want so much money for? ”

"Buy the Super God Potion."

"You're crazy!" Friend Xu Guangming looked at Zhao Sen in a daze, I don't know what kind of neurosis is going on in front of him, he has the money, but he really doesn't want to lend it to his friend to commit suicide.

The supergod potion, also known as the "suicide potion", has a terrifying mortality rate that makes most people afraid to take it, unless the person is hysterical and has no way back to fight for his fate.

"I can't do it, I can't do it, Zhao Sen, listen to me, it's better to die than to live, right?" Xu Guangming persuaded bitterly: "You have to say that you want to buy a booster, buddy don't say a word and support your family, that thing has a stable effect and can't kill people." ”

"Ten bottles and eight bottles of fortifiers can't have obvious effects, which is equivalent to spending money in vain." Zhao Sen shook his head and said, "Do you borrow it or not?" Don't lend me away. ”

"No, hey, don't go, tell me honestly, what did you stimulate."

"My brother joined the Hunters' Guild and signed a lifetime contract." Zhao Sen smiled bitterly: "He's right, we are all bedbugs abandoned by the alliance, we love to die, love to live or not, no one cares." ”

"Damn, that kid is really out of the way, your brothers are not in their heads." Xu Guangming thought about it for a while and said, "Either you also join the Hunter Guild, so that you won't take the super god potion and gamble for your life, right?" ”

"I'm twenty-one years old." Zhao Sen said a very real problem, he is five years older than his younger brother.

Joining a guild at this age will also start lower than others, and 90% will be sent out to perform some worthless tasks as cannon fodder, just like the bar owner Gao Tai.

Gao Tai was able to survive, it was really a lifetime of good luck, and in the end, he returned to the civilian area as a self-employed person. His path is not what Zhao Sen wants.

"Your girlfriend Qin Nan knows about this?"

"Huh...... She was engaged to a man from the city. Zhao Sen bared his teeth and smiled, pretending to be indifferent, but he was a little panicked in his heart.

"......" Xu Guangming probably understands his friend a little.

All the young people in the low-level area once had a dream of getting ahead, but most of them have been smoothed out by life and time until they get used to the mediocre days.

Who wants to live outside the city without an energy barrier where the sand is so sand and the skin is burned by the intense ultraviolet rays if they don't pay attention?

"You're really decided? But even if I give you 50,000 yuan, it seems that you still lack it. ”

"Zhao Fei joins the Hunter Guild and has a settling-in fee, and I still have some savings myself, which is enough. If I die, it's a hundred. ”

"What if you survive?"

Zhao Sen laughed: "Then I will sign up for the military, and maybe I will be sent to other dimensional worlds to carry out tasks." ”

"Looks like you've made up your mind." Xu Guangming sighed: "To be honest, it's enough for me to drive out to transport garbage every day, if you survive, remember to pull your brother in the future." If you die, Lao Tzu will collect your body. ”

"Give me your account." He raised his wrist and focused on his pupils, and a thin light blue transparent three-dimensional light screen appeared above the bracelet-type instrument of his wristwatch.

This is the alliance's general instrument "universal meter", which integrates communication, video, music, and network, and the price is not high, almost one per person.

After borrowing the money, Zhao Sen patted his friend on the shoulder and left without saying anything.

Back at the bar, he asks the bar owner, Gao Tai, to settle his salary, and asks him to help introduce acquaintances on the black market to buy supernatural potions.

"You kid really dare to bet." Gao Tai was surprised for a few seconds, and then smiled: "What? Tired of being crooked? ”

"There's no hope in this life, is there?" Zhao Sen shrugged: "Boss, can I ask you a personal question?" ”

"Say."

"After you terminated the contract with the Hunter Guild, you are a one-star blood warrior, so it stands to reason that you have the capital to stay in the city and live, right?"

"Huh." Gao Tai laughed dryly: "It's not just a woman's." At the beginning, Lao Tzu wanted to live in the city, but his wife still disliked it. I also recognized this reality, and simply moved to live outside the city, so that I could have some status. This is called being less than the top and more than the bottom. ”

"I'll tell you another secret, the reason why I survived is not how good I am. Usually I tell you how to kill mutant creatures, that's bragging. In fact, I'm very afraid of death, and I can't do it every time I carry out a mission. So I changed team after team, and I finally got through the contract period. ”

Zhao Sen was speechless and said, "Is this okay?" ”

"Why not? To be alive is to capital. Your brother Zhao Fei joined the Hunter Guild, right? Remind him, be smart, don't be stupid and be the first to rush ahead. ”

"Well, thank you, boss." Zhao Sen asked, "What happened just now?" ”

"Suicide potion? No problem, I'll help you contact the seller. Don't spread the word, after all, the alliance bans this thing. By the way, this kind of transaction is all cash, and you withdraw the money. ”

"Hmm."

With the help of Gaotai, in less than three days, the seller contacted the place and time of the transaction.

Zhao Sen had a feeling of waiting for death, and at a certain moment he would have thoughts of regret, but the idea of stealing life was quickly suppressed by him.

He didn't tell his younger brother Zhao Fei about this, so he didn't have to say anything to affect his determination.

There are many successful cases of taking "suicide potion" on the Internet, and Zhao Sen doesn't know whether the experience of those successful people is true or false, whether it is useful or not, but it is necessary to work hard.

After getting the suicide potion, he had to prepare well before taking it.

The first is to shave off the hair on his body, and even endure the pain and use super tape to glue off the fine hairs on the skin inch by inch.

The second is to fast for three days, drink only treated water every day, and keep it on an empty stomach.

After three days, his eyes were sunken with hunger, his mind was dizzy, and his strength was weak.

He struggled to remove the last of his shorts to cover his shame, sat down, and crossed his knees over the cold tiles of the room.

Holding a light blue potion bottle in his hand, he unscrewed the cap and brought it to his mouth, hesitated for a few seconds without drinking, but put the cap back on.

He looked up a lot of deaths after taking the supernatural potion on the Internet, and the blood of the user was splashed, and the skin and flesh of the whole body were not human-shaped, and the scene was unbearable.

The dead are those whose bodies are unable to withstand the tremendous energy generated by genetic mutations and evolutions, and the fusion fails and the body collapses and bursts from within, a death that lasts for minutes with despair and severe pain.

Zhao Sen has no way back, he has blocked all his belongings and life in this tube of medicine, if he doesn't dare to drink it when the matter comes, he himself looks down on himself.

"The women who talk about marriage have run away with others, and even my younger brother looks down on me for being decadent, so what's the point of living so hard. Even if you die, you will die neatly! ”

He jerked the cap of the bottle open, tilted his head and poured the potion into his mouth, his throat agitated, and he swallowed.
