Chapter 17: Gangsters
The weather in August is extremely hot, like a stove baking the earth, and only after the night can you enjoy a cool breeze to blow away the impetuousness of the day and start the night life.
Z City is not a first-tier city, but it is also a second-tier city, although the nightlife is not as prosperous as the first-tier cities, but it is not nothing, every day before the early hours of the morning, the whole city will not be quiet.
At this time, in a rental house in Z City, a white light flashed, Bai An appeared in the room, looking at the traffic outside the window, an unreal feeling came to his heart, and he felt the existence of the portable space, and Bai An gradually believed all this.
"It seems that I also have a time for transshipment." Bai An sat on the bed and smoked a cigarette silently, calming his excitement.
For such a huge adventure, how could Bai An not be excited? The reason why he can still smoke quietly here now is just that he hasn't reacted yet, just like a person who suddenly won the lottery of five million, his heart was in a state of confusion at that time, and even for a period of time, not unhappy, but he didn't know how to be happy for a while, and only after a period of time would the essence of the nouveau riche be revealed.
"Damn, I have 10,000 yuan in my pocket, or an employee of the Virtual World Administration, and I'm still smoking alone here? Damn, get out on the waves. After smoking a whole box of cigarettes, Bai An finally reacted, damn it, don't wait for a long time at this time, and decisively close the door and go out.
"I have to say that the Virtual World Administration is a cow break, this body is strengthened, and there is no discomfort at all." Bai An said to himself, although he still feels the same as before, but he also clearly knows that his current physical fitness is more than ten times stronger than before, but his control is also so much stronger, so that he feels similar to before, and there is no such thing as walking and leaving pits, opening doors and locks.
Walking downstairs, he found a barbecue stall casually, Bai An ordered dozens of skewers and a bottle of beer, and drank it by himself.
"We're also a man who has experienced adventures, isn't it, and this is also the treatment of a protagonist in the novel, right? So, the novels are all deceitful, you look at the protagonists in the novel, either after falling out of love, or after the failure of the confession, or after being dumped, there is still a childhood sweetheart if you are lucky, look at us, no fiancée, no girlfriend, no childhood sweetheart, only a crush, not the same adventure? So, I really don't know if those authors are hated for couples or contempt for single dogs? So many tragedies were written, alas! Bai An took a sip of wine, very satisfied with his current situation.
"But the rules of the Virtual World Authority are really strange, aren't they? The defenders were not allowed to meet in the Overworld, and they originally wanted to invite Hua Ling to dinner together. Bai An muttered, remembering the scene when he was separated from Hua Ling, he was still a little puzzled.
After explaining to Bai An the use of the company's basic suit, Hua Ling and Bai An separated, Bai An wanted to ask Hua Ling where she was in the main world, so that she could come out for dinner together, but Hua Ling told him that in the rules issued by the company, it was clearly written that the defenders were not allowed to meet privately except during working hours.
Bai An casually flipped through the work rules, and found that there was really such a one, Bai An's whole person was not good in an instant, what is the fucking rule? The defender is not an old black slave, and he is not even allowed to meet in private? It's so strict.
But since it is a rule in the company, Bai An can't violate it, besides, even if he dares, Hua Ling won't want to, in the so many years since the establishment of the Virtual World Administration, there has not been an employee who has violated the work rules.
"I just hope to meet it by chance, but it's hard in this vast sea of people!" For this chance encounter, Bai An himself doesn't have much confidence, it's really a little difficult.
"Boss! What about the boss? Come out quickly. Bai An was sighing, suddenly a group of people came to this barbecue stall to find the boss, this group of people dressed in bells and whistles, their heads were either dyed yellow or white, and there were two or three young people still holding wooden bats in their hands, and their every move revealed that I was a gangster.
Seeing the arrival of this group of obviously gangster youths, the surrounding diners couldn't help but stand up one after another, and most of the diners put their money on the table and then ...... Run to the side to watch, watch the excitement, the nature of the Chinese people.
Of course, there are also some diners who are not so conscious and pat their butts and stand next to them...... Look at the excitement.
"Well, here you are, what do you mean?" The boss was on the barbecue grill next to him, and at this time he ran over.
"Oh, you're the boss, it's time to pay your protection fee." A delinquent boy with dyed yellow hair seemed to see the boss for the first time, and said to the boss in a hanging tone, didn't these gangsters find the boss? Of course not, it's just that they think it's handsome to do this, and I have to say that his acting skills are still good, and he knows that he often does this kind of thing at a glance.
"Protection money? Didn't Brother Wolf already receive it yesterday? The boss frowned and looked at a few people, he didn't have the slightest good impression of these gangsters, but there was no way, he was a foreigner, he was not familiar with life here, but he couldn't fight against them, he could only accompany the smiling face and take the money.
"Brother Wolf? Which wolf brother? Now this piece is under the control of Brother Hu, and the protection fee is indispensable. The yellow-haired young man said to the boss with a sneer.
"No, the brothers have also seen it, I am a small business, and I can't make a few dollars a day, and the matter of protection money ......" The boss and a few young people each handed out a cigarette, and said with embarrassment.
"What do you mean by that? If you have money to give that wolf, you don't have money to honor our brother tiger? Don't you look down on our tiger brother! Huang Mao seemed very unhappy when the boss said that he had no money, although he took the boss's cigarette, he didn't have a good tone.
"No, that's not what it means, it's just that I don't have any cash right now." When encountering such a gangster, the boss is also very embarrassed, if he doesn't give money, they will make trouble here, even if they call the police, they won't be locked up for a few days, and they will definitely retaliate more crazy after they come out.
"That's your business, tell you, this protection fee, not a penny!" Huang Mao took the bat from a young man next to him, hit it on the table next to him, and said in a fierce tone.
"No, brothers, I just paid the protection money to Brother Wolf yesterday, and now I really don't have any money on hand, do you see if you can delay it for two days?" The boss is also unlucky, he just sent away a batch of protection money yesterday, and today he came again, which is really unfavorable for the passing year.
", let me tell you, now this is Brother Tiger's territory, what kind of wolf brother you are, I can't protect you, you'd better pay the protection fee honestly, otherwise don't blame our Brother Tiger for not reminding you if something happens." Huang Mao suddenly calmed down, and said intimidating words to the boss in a tone that didn't matter if you didn't make a deal or not.
Bai An, who listened to "poof...... for a long time, finally couldn't help laughing.
