Chapter 34: The Club of the Thousand Faces
Ma Yang glared at Xia Chan for a long time, then suddenly laughed out loud and punched him hard, "If money can solve the problem, my father would have helped me solve it, okay, you won't tease me, how much does it cost at least?"
Xia Chan raised a finger.
"One hundred thousand?" Ma Yang knew that he was wrong as soon as he opened his mouth, and immediately changed his words, "One million?"
"From a million, I can't guarantee that I'll get something that's right for you. On the website of the Thousand Faces Club, Xia Chan saw some transaction lists, and the lowest card characters were not cheaper than 200,000, if you want to like them, the price is almost not capped, and it is more of a list of intentions for card directional exchanges, and the club will hold on-site trade fairs from time to time, which is the main event.
"One million may not be enough, it's miserable, even if my father believes me, he may not be willing to give such a large sum, his liquidity has always been very tight. Ma Yang's eyes flickered.
Xia Chan knew that this conversation was a trial of the friendship between the two classmates, and he gave the opportunity, whether Ma Yang could seize it or not was not something he could control.
"You only have three days to prepare, and if you're ready, I'll give you a bearer account when the time comes. After Xia Chan finished speaking, he waved his hand and disappeared into the night view of the street, and in three days, there would be a trade fair that only cardholders could attend, and he also had to make preparations.
The way to seek the Tao, there is no way out, strive for all the opportunities that can be obtained, after getting the advice of the 'Taoist friend', he has more understanding.

That night, in the Ma family's single-family villa, Ma Yang almost quarreled with a middle-aged noblewoman.
"Mom, please, this is my last chance. ”
"Your father tightened our mother's money bag two years ago, my good son, do you know why?" the woman smashed a water cup suddenly, "Because your father is desperate for you, he thinks that the Ma family can't count on you, if it weren't for your grandfather's approved son-in-law, our mother and daughter would have been kicked out of the house by him a long time ago." ”
Ma Yang stood up in disbelief, although he always knew that his father had a few outer rooms outside and a few illegitimate children, he never thought they were a threat, after all, he was the eldest son recognized by his grandfather.
"Just blame me for underestimating your father, he deliberately put false news before, making me think that those bastards have very poor qualifications, but last time he couldn't help but show his mouth, he has a bloodline called Marcosaurus Half-awakened, don't be afraid for half a year to fully awaken, this year is only sixteen years old, and he is still a mixed-race slut. ”
Ma Yang muttered in despair, "A son who can awaken the bloodline is so important?"
The woman slapped Ma Yang violently, "Fool, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how rich the family is, you are lambs to the slaughter, a gifted heir is to open up the passage to the upper class, and the best fate in your life is to be sent to a foreign land to be a family marriage and abandoned child." ”
"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled—" Ma Yang walked up and down like a beast, and the woman looked at him coldly on the sofa.
"One million, just one million, count your son begging, my son promises to awaken the bloodline within half a year!"
"Mom still has a bit of a private house for the elderly, if you lose, Mom is afraid that she will wash the feet of Ma Kelong's mother and son for the rest of her life. ”
"Mom, it's all said and done, do we have a way out? ”
"It's just that your classmate is reliable. ”
"I don't have anything to fool him. ”
"Okay, Mom will get you two million, you listen, it won't work in half a year, let's find a tall building and jump down together." ”
Hearing this, Ma Yang remembered the bloody scene in the night market, and compared with the decisiveness and ruthlessness in his mother's eyes at this time, he suddenly shuddered.

The location of the Thousand Faces Club is unexpectedly in the basement of a commercial center, which is well-connected and full of people.
After receiving the two million from Ma Yang's account, as well as the transfer of 300,000 and 700,000 respectively from Si Kou and Tang Zhengyi's secret accounts, Xia Chan prepared a full three million for this transaction.
Such a large sum of money could not have been imagined by him half a month ago.
There can't be any mistakes in this transaction, so he definitely won't go out with his real body, and use the body of the card character Tang Zhengyi to parasitize it.
Both his real body and Ma Yang were waiting in a rented pickup truck at the exit near the club.
While there was still some time, Xia Chan unfolded the 'parchment roll' in the corner of Ma Yang's line of sight in the back seat and wrote: I will participate in this trading party of the Thousand Faces Club, will you come?
This was a deliberate temptation on his part.
It didn't take long for the 'Taoist friend' to be 'online' and reply to the letter: Even if you come, you can't see your real body, are you stupid enough to go yourself?
Xia Chan said nonsense: I got a lot of money and was going to exchange some good female cards for you as a return gift, but unfortunately you didn't come.
'Daoyou' quickly replied: Wow, what are you going to do with women's cards, do you have any dirty habits? I resolutely don't want the cards you sent!
When I didn't say.
Xia Chan replied silently, and saw Ma Yang turn his head and just put away the 'parchment roll'.
"Are we doing something illegal?"
"Don't worry, don't steal or rob, okay, don't bother me if there are no special circumstances from now on. ”
After speaking, Xia Chan realized that the rune of the Faceless Lord in the sea was activated, and his vision turned to a nearby café.
In the hall full of couples, 'Xia Chan', who was alone in a black suit, looked very unusual, he looked down at the non-existent watch, and beckoned to pay.
Out of the café, 'Xia Chan' put on a pair of rimless sunglasses and quickly shuttled through the crowd, and soon came to an elevator room disguised as a warehouse on the outside according to the predicted address.
There are already more than a dozen people waiting here, and they are all dressed with different temperaments and ages, and it is difficult to distinguish their origins.
Jingle ~ The hidden good elevator door opened.
A few minutes later, 'Xia Chan' passed the second checkpoint and entered a huge underground night club, casino, game room, striptease bar, bloody fight cage, eating, drinking and playing all kinds of audio-visual enjoyment distributed in all corners of the huge underground square, everything.
For a while, 'Xia Chan' felt a little unfazed, just walking around with the flow of people, he noticed that the passage to this night club was not the only one he had just come to, and he couldn't help but be a little frightened by this magnificent club.
"Sir, here's a face-swapping mask that you can wear so you can avoid facial recognition. "A young man in a skull jumper approached, holding a stack of 'playing cards'.
'Xia Chan' was shocked in his heart, and took it over to look at it.
"There are classic beast faces, as well as star faces and popular face series, which are masterpieces of rune technology, and a card only costs 3,000 spirit coins. The salesman whispered secretly, "You can find a place to try it, and if you are not satisfied, you will not be charged." ”
"Thank you. "'Xia Chan' returned the card to this person as if nothing happened.
The man in the jumper didn't get entangled, and walked away quickly to find the next target.
'Xia Chan' only now realizes that the superficial business scope of this club is much larger, and this night club is afraid that it is an ordinary business place, otherwise there will be no situation of promoting the 'pit people playing cards'.
You'll have to find a guide.
"Sir, do you need any help?" Perhaps he couldn't stand the headless flies of 'Xia Chan', and a beautiful girl in a see-through dress walked over.
"Everyone dies. "'Xia Chan' hesitated for a moment and said a word.
Hearing this, the glamorous girl immediately showed a mysterious smile and stretched out her hand, "Go this way, sir, you don't have a guide, no wonder you can't find a place." ”
"Leader?" 'Xia Chan' was a little abrupt and a little confused.
"Well, we can't say more. The glamorous girl closed her mouth tightly and led 'Xia Chan' to a secluded passage.
Seeing that the sexy glamorous girl refused to leave, and looked at him with a watery face on her hips, 'Xia Chan' suddenly remembered that Ma Yang mentioned the 'hands-on tip' that is now prevalent in night clubs, and after the monitoring captured the waiter being 'violated' in a limited way, he would deduct a tip from the bill through the 'face brush' to the party as a 'violation' reward.
'Xia Chan' thought of the role he played, and reluctantly patted the girl's upturned buttocks, the elasticity was so good.
"Sir, it's really not like a person who has come to this kind of place for the first time, this is someone's phone number, contact me. The girl didn't entangle, pinched her fingers and gently stuffed a small card into the 'Xia Chan' pocket, and curled it away.
'Xia Chan' took a deep breath and stepped into the dark and dim red passage, along the walls on both sides of the road are full of various stone murals, like beasts and humans, and they all have a characteristic, that is, the face is chaotic, and it is impossible to distinguish the face.
After passing a corner, the eyes suddenly opened up.
Six stone puppets with an unknown long box in their hands lined up to guard the entrance of the passage, and a goblin wrapped in a black cloak flew over to check Xia Chan's club membership card, and the stone puppet blocking the passage slowly let go of the gap for one person to pass.
This is a circular comprehensive trading hall, and there are already many people gathered in various corners to negotiate in twos and threes.
'Xia Chan' came to a projection screen, on which were a list of intent transactions, and the various attributes and identities of the card characters were presented one by one, except for a few clearly marked prices, most of them were swap transactions.
There is an orange warning at the bottom of the screen that the safety of your belongings will only be guaranteed if you trade on the platform within the club.
'Xia Chan' was pondering the meaning of this warning, "Wow, there's fresh blood again." A fat old man with a big mustache came over on his own.
Seeing the difficult expression of 'Xia Chan' in front of the screen, the fat old man smiled and said, "Some of these sold lists can't be traded at all, just fishing bait, if you want to trade on the spot, I have a good introduction, do you want to see it?"
"What do you mean by bait?" 'Xia Chan' asked.
"There are always some greedy villains who want to eat it all, don't worry, Jia has a good reputation in the Thousand Faces, you can rest assured to trade with me. The fat old man pointed at himself with his thumb with a black stone jade wrench.
