Red Mars Bar is located in Jingbei District B, a relatively remote community in Shanteng City, which used to be the darkest area in Shanteng City, but now it has inexplicably become the best place for young people to gather for drinks and pursue excitement.

As the largest and most famous bar in Jingbei District B, the shape of Red Mars is very unique.

From the outside, it is a huge building with a large upside-down on the ground, and the surface is molded into a cratered semicircle of crimson meteorite, and more than 20 irregularly shaped cracks on the meteorite are the entrance to the bar.

In front of each entrance, two tall, muscular, uniformed men are guarded, and they will not prevent any guests from entering the Red Mars Bar, but they will clearly warn those who enter the bar to exercise restraint and refrain from making trouble, even if they are drunk.

When Gong Yaming walked out of the hovering taxi and came to the crack near the Red Mars Bar, the time had just reached 9:20, but at this time, there were already many guests in the Red Mars who were shuttling in and out with the sound of loud music.

Even though he knew that it was annual leave, but for these ridiculous guests who came to get drunk early in the morning, or simply drank all night, Gong Yaming naturally bred a disgust in his heart, and he really didn't want to be one of them, he frowned and dialed Wang Weizhou's telecommunication number.

"Yaming, you're at the Red Mars Bar," Wang Weizhou said loudly after the phone was connected, "I heard the music there."

I'm on my way, I'll be there soon, you wait a few minutes. ”

"Wei Zhou, I think we should meet in a quieter place," Gong Yaming walked a few steps away and said, "This Red Mars Bar really doesn't look like a place for friends to catch up. ”

"Ya Ming, you have been missing for 3 years, how did you become so old-fashioned," Wang Weizhou said loudly with a smile: "We are in our 20s for a gathering. Do you want to find a quiet leisure bar to drink tea?

Besides, when I entered the box at the Red Mars Bar, it was very quiet. ”

It's been a long time since I've heard someone contradict my opinion. But after returning to Shanteng. But when he encountered this kind of unpleasant thing one after another, Gong Yaming didn't feel a little irritable in his heart, but in the face of the insistence of his old best friend, he could only compromise helplessly: "Okay." Then I'll go and book a private room first. ”

"Wait, Yaming, the best box on Red Mars can't be booked without regular customers. I'll do it anyway. Wang Weizhou's somewhat smug laughter came from the communication instrument, and at the same time, a pure white car. A slender and slightly streamlined hoverride. landed beside Gong Yaming.

The four doors of the white car opened at the same time, and the driver who walked out was also Wang Weizhou, and the people in the car were two men and two women, four strange young people Gong Yaming had never seen before.

Seeing his friends who had been separated for 3 years, Gong Yaming felt a little excited in his heart, the more he was in a high position and could no longer meet friends who could be treated equally, the more he cherished his former friendship.

Therefore. I saw Wang Weizhou, who had just gotten out of the car and opened his arms to meet him. A heartfelt smile appeared on the corner of Gong Yaming's mouth, and he also opened his arms and hugged his long-lost friend.

"Gong Yaming, you guy hasn't been in touch for so long, you won't really stay on the primordial planet for a few years," Wang Weizhou's first sentence was excited: "It's a lot fatter than when I left last time, and I look a lot older, and I'm finally not as handsome as me."

I saw that although the diet on the primitive planet was better than I imagined, it was still very devastating to people. ”

"Wang Weizhou, don't talk nonsense," Hearing Wang Weizhou's teasing, the feeling of really ridiculing with friends returned to Gong Yaming's body, and he said without showing weakness: "No matter how weathered I am, I am much more handsome than you."

In front of me, the only thing you can deceive others is your mind, your huge head, so that first-time people will always think that you have a higher IQ than me, but unfortunately this is not the case. ”…,

The two teased like this for a while, Wang Weizhou stopped, smiled and pointed to the two men and two women who came with him in the car and said: "Okay explorer, the greeting has been called, the joke is over, I will introduce you to my fiancée and..."

At this time, Gong Yaming shook his head very seriously, interrupted Wang Weizhou's words and said, "Weizhou, I am a federal C-level professional explorer, not a federal great explorer, you have made a mistake in speaking of the rank. ”

Wang Weizhou was slightly stunned, and said with a surprised smile: "Yaming, I know that you are a C-level professional explorer of the Federation, and calling you a great explorer is just a description. ”

"Of course I know you're just describing, but you can't understand what it means to prefix a 'big' word for a professional explorer," Gong Yaming, who is no longer a federal professional explorer and still has great respect for this profession, said seriously: "A great explorer must not be called casually, even if it is a joke. ”

"It's really solemn, do you need to be so serious?" After listening to Gong Yaming's words, the one with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup among the two girls in the same car with Wang Weizhou pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "In the Galactic Federation, professional explorers should be the most enthusiastic and free characters, how can they be called such a trivial matter.

I've also known several certified Federal Professional Explorers on Star.com, and I've always called myself a pre-grand explorer in front of them, and they've never said I'm wrong. ”

How to call herself is a kind of self-discipline, but seeing that although the girl who spoke had heavy makeup on her face, she was actually very young, Gong Yaming did not refute, but smiled noncommittally, and didn't pay attention to what she was saying at all.

Seeing his fiancée's sister suddenly interject willfully, Wang Weizhou smiled a little embarrassed, and hurriedly pointed at her and took the opportunity to introduce: "This is my fiancée's sister Qin Yishan, next to her is my fiancée Qin Yilian, and my quasi-father-in-law is Qin Qiang, a well-known business strongman in our Shanteng trade world." ”

Wang Weizhou's fiancée Qin Yilian's appearance can be said to be ordinary, but she has a shrewd and strong bearing, after Wang Weizhou's introduction, Gong Yaming nodded and smiled politely, no rudeness, but no extra greetings.

After introducing the Qin Yilian sisters, Wang Weizhou pointed to the two young men who got off with him and said: "This is my new good friends Mo Cong and Du Ze after entering the society, and they are also famous in the business world of Shanteng. ”

When Wang Weizhou introduced his friends, this kind of philistine remark that was completely different from before made Gong Yaming feel very unfamiliar, and the compliments such as business strongmen and famous families in the fifth-level cities of the Earth's Special Star Region felt a little ridiculous in his ears.

However, these feelings Gong Yaming buried in his heart without revealing them, and listened to Wang Weizhou introduce the four people in the same car. He took the first step, bowed slightly, and said, "Hello Miss Qin Yilian, Miss Qin Yishan, Mr. Mo Cong, and Mr. Du Ze." I'm Gong Yaming. It's been a pleasure to meet you. ”

This kind of etiquette, with Gong Yaming's status at this time, can already be said to be the limit, even if he meets with the president of the United States of the Galactic Federation, it is not arrogant at all.

But for the sake of those families, they are steep and rich, and have no background. And in the eyes of people who think very highly of themselves, young and vigorous. The kind of indifference and reserve that he showed was already very hateful.

However, thinking of the other party's identity as a federal C-class professional explorer who is difficult to distinguish between true and false for a while, no matter how ignorant and perverse the personality is, he will have scruples. I don't dare to express my dissatisfaction in my heart directly.

And for Gong Yaming. Except for his old friend Wang Weizhou, of course he didn't care about other people's faces, and after he had fulfilled his due etiquette, he smiled at Wang Weizhou and said casually: "Weizhou, the new car is very beautiful." Excuse me, let's go to the bar. "...," Wait a minute. We still have friends who haven't arrived. As soon as Gong Yaming's words fell, Qin Yishan suddenly said on the side.

Hearing her words, Gong Yaming frowned slightly and did not speak, but his gaze at Wang Weizhou showed a somewhat inquiring look.

At this time, Wang Weizhou was also stunned, and then seemed to think of something, and said to Qin Yishan with a wry smile: "Yishan, who else did you invite?" ”

"Du Peng, Ah Shun, they," Qin Yishan's expression suddenly became a little excited, and said: "Wang Weizhou, there is a federal C-level explorer among your friends, whether it is true or not, how can I not help you publicize such a thing." ”

Qin Yishan's careless words in front of his old friends made Wang Weizhou's face flush suddenly, he turned his head awkwardly and smiled at Gong Yaming, and said in his mouth: "Yishan, don't talk nonsense about 'whether it's true or not', my friend is next to him, you know that he is a person who can't lie..."

Qin Yishan pursed her lips and was about to interject, Qin Yilian, who was standing beside her, seemed to feel that her sister's speech hurt her fiancé's face a little, and said in a low voice: "Yishan, how many times have I told you, when I see Wei Zhou, I want to call my brother-in-law."

And since Mr. Gong Yaming is a good friend of your brother-in-law, you should also be polite to him..."

Gong Yaming heard the conversation between Sister Qin Yilian, quietly approached Wang Weizhou, and said in a low voice according to the previous practice: "Wang Weizhou, your fiancée and her sister are very interesting, remember, you owe me once." ”

"Yes, yes, Yaming, I owe you once, tomorrow all the bars and restaurants in Shanteng City are up to you, no nonsense." Wang Weizhou was slightly stunned, and immediately realized the anger hidden in Gong Yaming's words, and hurriedly replied in a low voice.

With Wang Weizhou's words, Gong Yaming didn't say much, let alone express dissatisfaction, but stood quietly aside, waiting for the arrival of Qin Yishan's 'other friends'...

While waiting, I don't know if it was because I was really bored or for other reasons, Qin Yishan began to take the initiative to talk to Gong Yaming.

Although he didn't want to answer the ridiculous questions raised by the girl in front of him who was born in a 'nouveau start family' and had very superficial cultivation and knowledge, and who were falsely rumored to be false, but under the pressure of Wang Weizhou's earnest eyes, Gong Yaming could only answer helplessly.

"Federal professional explorers don't have a 'license to kill' on the primordial planet?" Qin Yishan shouted in a high-pitched voice: "This is impossible, if there is no license to kill, then how can they deal with those human traitors who have fornicated with the people of Turin in time on the primordial planet!"

For example, in the virtual movie series "The Legend of Du Faze's Great Explorer", adapted from a true story, the righteous federal professional explorer found out that there were employees in the human military base who sold intelligence to the people of Turin for cherished ore, and immediately killed him, are these all fake, or there is no such person as Du Faze in the world? ”

"Since it's an adaptation, it's always a little different from the facts, not to mention killing people on the primordial planet..."Gong Yaming was about to say that when exploring the primordial planet, if you have the ability, you only need to make a little arrangement, then even if you kill 100 million people, no one will be held responsible, because there are accidents and excuses there at any time, which can cover up the worst crimes in the world, so the murder license has no value at all.

But he suddenly realized that this kind of serious justification that he had developed because of his anger was actually very boring. Then he turned around and said, "Maybe you are right, Miss Qin Yishan, but I remembered it wrong." ”

"Are you really a federal C-class professional explorer?" Qin Yishan said with disdain: "This kind of thing can still be remembered. ”

Gong Yaming smiled noncommittally. There was no speech. But I silently wrote down in my heart that this was the second time I endured it when I couldn't bear it. ..., just as he was swallowing the anger in his heart, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking out of a taxi flying car on the parking apron in the distance.

Ignore others this time. Gong Yaming only said to Wang Weizhou: "Zhang Shan is here, let's go to meet him." He strode over to the familiar figure. After a while, they hugged the figure.

"Zhang Shan, you have already worked and become a social person, but it seems that your changes are not big. How's it going? In the hug with Zhang Shan, Gong Yaming jokingly said loudly: "Is Mr. Wang Weizhou so proud?" ”

According to the idea in his heart, Zhang Shan should laugh at Wang Weizhou with him at this time, but Zhang Shan said with a smile: "My ability naturally can't be compared with Weizhou, he has already taken charge of himself, and I am just a novice in the workplace." ”

Zhang Shan was polite to Wang Weizhou on such an apparent surface. The actual unfamiliar evaluation made Gong Yaming couldn't help but be surprised. Seeing that Wang Weizhou didn't come forward to greet Zhang Shan with him, he realized that the contradictions between his two friends were far deeper than he had expected.

But this is obviously not the right time to solve the mustard in the hearts of the two, Gong Yaming can only reluctantly smile and say: "Praise Wang Weizhou so much, the relationship between the two of you guys who stayed in Shanteng is getting better and better, do you want to squeeze out me, a stranger, together?" ”

"Stranger, Yaming, you have really become a stranger to Shanteng City now," Hearing Gong Yaming's inadvertent evaluation of himself, Zhang Shan suddenly said with emotion: "Federal C-level professional explorer, although I don't know how you did it, and I don't know how much you paid to get this status, I still sincerely congratulate you."

I am also proud to have a friend like you from the bottom of my heart. ”

The sincere blessing from his friend without any utilitarian heart made Gong Yaming's heart feel a burst of warmth, and he replied with a bright smile, nodded and replied: "Zhang Shan, my friend, thank you for your blessings, thank you very much." ”

Just when Gong Yaming and Zhang Shan were talking eagerly, suddenly three bright-looking hovering cars in red, purple, and black landed next to Wang Weizhou, Qin Yishan and others.

From a distance, I saw 3 decently dressed young people and their female companions walking down from the flying car, as well as 6 or 7 tall and strong men with expressionless faces but vaguely revealing a fierce temperament, which I thought were the so-called 'other friends' contacted by Qin Yishan.

Seeing that the fierce men among the people who came didn't look like they were casual, Gong Yaming instinctively felt that there would be trouble, and finally couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "Who are the friends that Wang Weizhou is in contact with now?" How does it look so uncomfortable! ”

Hearing Gong Yaming's complaint, Zhang Shan wanted to speak again and again, and finally could only say with a wry smile: "Actually, Wei Zhou is also forced to succeed as soon as possible after entering the society, and he always has to make some changes."

Ya Ming, I'll make a long story short, the tallest and youngest of the three people who just came is called Du Peng, his father suddenly appeared in Shanteng a few years ago, opened a carnival bar, I heard that there is a black market fighting in it, attracting the rich people of several cities near Shanteng to go for fun, I think those guys who look very fierce should be his subordinates.

I've only seen this person once, it was when I was having dinner with Wei Zhou and his fiancée, and he suddenly came uninvited, this guy has a very bad temper, you pay attention.

After all, he is also a friend of Wei Zhou, if it is not too much, even if you are a professional explorer of the Federation, it is nothing to give a step.

That's all I have to say, Wei Zhou and his friends are waiting for us, don't embarrass him, let's hurry over. ”

"Okay, let's go over," Gong Yaming breathed a sigh of relief, and while walking towards Wang Weizhou, he whispered to Zhang Shan beside him: "But Zhang Shan, I have endured two ordinary unbearable anger today.

If that Mr. Du Peng behaves too much, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to endure it forever. ”

While speaking, the two came to Wang Weizhou's side, Gong Yaming raised his voice suddenly, and said directly: "Have you arrived Weizhou?"

If we were all there, we would go to the bar first, and I was a little tired from standing. ”

"Ya Ming, everyone is here, but don't rush into the bar first, I'll introduce you to the new friends," Wang Weizhou's expression was a little stiff for some reason, pointing to the three young people who had just stepped off the speeding car and said: "Hong Shun, the eldest son of Mr. Hong Heze, chairman of Shanteng Hong's Mining Company; Xie Tao, my father is Shanteng City..."

Gong Yaming filtered out Wang Weizhou's introduction to the family history of the three young people in front of him, and only wrote down the names of them and their female companions, Hong Shun, Xie Tao, Du Peng, Gu Pan, Jingying, and Xu Xi, for easy to call.

When Wang Weizhou's introduction ended, Gong Yaming still nodded and smiled and said, "Mr. Hong Shun... Miss Xu Xi, it's a pleasure to meet you. "There is no rudeness in the action, tone, and expression, but there is no excess heat at all...
