Chapter 50: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
Liao Su glanced out the window, there was no sun a little gloomy, and after a closer look, it turned out that the sun was deeply hidden by the clouds, and the color of the sky changed from the previous blue face to the color of water soaked in a dirty rag.
This is very similar to Liao Su's current mood, the appearance of these three people made the originally clear sky gray, and made his originally happy mood worse......
Liao Su took the dumplings handed by Aunt Yang, and Aunt Yang saw that Liao Su was a little absent-minded, so she asked, "Are you really okay?" Is there something on your mind? ”
Liao Su hurriedly replied, "It's okay, really." ”
After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and left the dumpling restaurant quickly.
At noon, carrying the dumplings back to the hotel, Ah Jing saw Liao Su coming back, so she said, "Hey, you're back." “
"Why didn't I hear any movement when you went out this morning, what time did you leave, why didn't you wake me up?"
Liao Su put the dumplings on the bar and replied, "It's the same as before, but when I went out today, I flirted the wind chimes." ”
"Then the wind chimes didn't ring when I opened the door, I think you must have stayed up late last night, and you slept so soundly in the morning, I didn't call you."
Then, he opened the plastic box, and a burst of aroma came to his nose, and Ah Jing said, "It's so fragrant, I'm going to starve to death." ”
Liao Su teased and said, "It seems that you have breakfast again, and you have eaten lunch together." ”
Ah Jing had already picked up the chopsticks and said, "I don't have time in the morning, so it's easy to eat a meal." ”
……
In the case of normal work, there is a two-hour break at noon, but the catering industry is different, and these two hours are the prime time.
Liao Su went back at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the peak period of the next wave of eating was concentrated at 17:00~19:00, and he prepared sufficient materials in the morning, and basically did not need to be busy in the afternoon, so he only needed to arrive at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
Wang Ba and others entered the Internet café and opened the triple machine, at that time, the Internet was purely for playing games, especially this kind of junior and senior high school students.
At that time, there was a popular game - "Battle of the Holy Beasts", and almost all the Internet people in the Internet cafes on the streets played this game.
The story of this game is set on an ancient continent where 5 tribes live.
They are the Terrans, the Shadow Elves, the Demons, the Orcs, and the Holy Spirits.
Among them, the advantage of the Terrans is that "there are many people", and the population of the Terrans is 5 times more than that of the four ethnic groups combined.
They are the largest in the northwest and part of the central part of the continent, with vast territory and vast resources.
The advantage of the Shadow Elves is the "moonlight energy", they can use the moonlight to restore their life at night, and they can be invisible at any time in the place where the moonlight shines.
They are small in the southwest of the continent, but they are brave and good at fighting.
The advantage of the demons is "immortality", this immortality is not that they will not die in the real sense, but that they are extremely difficult to kill, even if they are killed, the wizard can revive them.
Dead humans will also be reawakened by them and become "undead" to continue fighting for them
The demons are born from the resentment of the death of the Terrans, and the leaders of the demons and the leaders of the Terrans are born from the same family.
They are in the southeastern part of the entire continent, with a small territory, and because they are occupied by the undead all year round, it has almost become a purgatory on earth.
The land, the trees, and even every river within the territory were black and dark.
This is also the most primitive motive for them to expand and invade other races, but in name they want to deplete the human race and regain the royal power, but in fact they want to take down the entire continent and dominate the five races.
In order to curb their development, the Holy Spirit Clan has set up a huge wall at the junction of the territory as a barrier.
The advantage of the orcs is that they are "strong", they have human limbs, but they have the head of a giant beast, which is twice as tall as ordinary humans, and has well-developed and strong muscles.
They are located in the northeastern part of the continent and are rich in iron ore and trees, which are also the main part of their weapons.
The Holy Spirit Clan is the Holy Race above the four clans, they are the guardians of the continent, peace is their pursuit, but they are never afraid of war.
They have the appearance of elves, the wisdom of humans, and the strength of orcs.
They are located in the center of the entire continent, guarding the transportation arteries of the other four races, and the territory is very small.
This is a long-term single-player game, choose a family to compete for supremacy, and can be connected through a local area network.
Generally, it takes four people to operate at the same time, and in addition to the Holy Spirit Clan, you can choose any clan.
You can't start a war for the first 20 rounds (except for the demons), and if you are invaded, you can fight back.
After twenty turns, the Orcs can wage war against any of them.
Within the first forty turns, the Terrans and the Night Elves are not allowed to wage war with each other.
After forty rounds, the Terrans and Night Elves can form alliances with each other and wage war against each other, and there are no restrictions after that.
The Holy Spirit does not wage war against any race, it is dangerous to hold on to dangers, and when the Holy Spirit takes the capital, all kinds of resources are increased by 50%.
……
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Liao Su arrived at the dumpling restaurant on time, there was no one at this meeting, and at about half past five, the guests came one after another.
Stayed up until 10 o'clock in the evening, basically there was no one left, Liao Su finished washing the used bowls, and felt that his waist was about to break.
Aunt Yang also cleaned up the outside hygiene, she walked into the kitchen and said to Liao Su: "Su'er, it's basically done, you can go back and rest." ”
Liao Su washed his hands again and said, "Okay Aunt Yang, then I'll go first." ”
He slowly walked out of the dumpling restaurant, it was already completely dark, and the night was dark and windy, walking alone on the uninhabited path at night, and there was silence around except silence.
The sky was bright, the ground was dark, as if the cold had blocked the light, and the dark night seemed to be smeared heavily on the sky, and there was not even the glimmer of the stars.
The night fog hit, and the midsummer night was a little cool, and there were few stars in sight in the hazy moonlight.
The sky was not pure black, but a vast deep blue in the black, stretching into the distance, into the distance.
After not walking a few steps, Liao Su suddenly heard a familiar voice from nearby - "You two are too vegetable, you have lost me......"
"Then can you blame me, I basically transferred all the troops from the whole country, but I still can't beat it......"
"It's too vegetable, if you don't upgrade your weapons and don't want to develop the military, what's the use......"
This voice Liao Su is very familiar, it is none other than Wang Ba and the three of them who went to the dumpling restaurant to eat at noon.
It seemed that the three of them seemed to have just come out of the Internet café, and Liao Su secretly thought in his heart: Fortunately, I went out one step late, if I went out a minute early, I would definitely bump into them head-on.
Wang Ba and the others didn't find Liao Su behind, they were still discussing the afternoon game, and Liao Su didn't dare to go too fast, he always kept a little distance from these three people.
After walking more than ten meters, Liao Su felt that he would be discovered by them sooner or later, so he turned his head and walked in the opposite direction, although he had to make a big detour, but it was worth it to make a detour in order not to be discovered by them.
After turning his head and walking for a few minutes, Liao Su turned back again, and there were no more people in sight, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to walk back quickly.
At the end of this path is the main city ring road of Xicheng, and there are only six major roads in the entire Xicheng, and this is one of them.
The scenery of Xicheng at night is beautiful, the lights are the protagonist of this long street, on the street, the street lamps emit dazzling light, putting on a layer of golden clothes for the entire Xicheng ring stage, and the neon lights on the side of the road are like seven-colored ribbons, which embellish the style for the already golden stage.
The lights on the high-rise building are not far behind, wrapping this stage full, the lights are brilliant, like a bright pearl.
This is in stark contrast to the alleys, where there are no tall buildings near the train station and the population is very sparse.
But just one street away, almost to the most prosperous street in the West City, although the night is very deep, but it seems to be more lively here.
The excitement was theirs, Liao Su just walked through here quickly, and after a while, he returned to a small road, from which he could get to Ah Jing's hotel faster.
It's a smaller alley, less than two meters wide, and cars can't get through it.
There was still some life at the mouth of the alley, and when I walked a little inside, I found that it was so quiet that it was almost dead silent.
Liao Su looked up at the sky, the sky was blue and the sun was scorching, and he couldn't find the feeling of the lonely rainy alley of Dai Wangshu's pen "walking alone with an oil-paper umbrella", so he had to secretly laugh that he was a little bored, so he slowly walked forward.
The doors of the alleys were closed, the alleys were empty, the bleak moonlight shone on the ground, and the shadows of the trees swayed.
Unlike the people on the street, the people who live in it have long since fallen asleep.
The road is very dark, with a faintly lit street lamp about every 30 meters, which makes the road even more dead and silent.
Walked to the end of the road, and when he was about to turn the corner, he bumped into a person head-on, Liao Su hurriedly said, "I'm sorry......"
The man said directly: "You are blind, you don't see anyone!" ”
This voice made Liao Su very familiar, it was none other than Wang Ba, but his two "little brothers" were not there, he was the only one.
Seeing that it was Wang Ba, although Liao Su was a little flustered, he still pretended to be calm and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Wang Ba did not give up, grabbed Liao Su's collar, and Liao Su broke free with all his might.
This action angered Wang Ba, and he was about to make a move with his fist, which instinctively made Liao Su resist and block Wang Ba's fist with his right arm
Wang Ba has always bullied others, and no one dared to resist, and he didn't expect Liao Su to fight back and miss the blow.
He didn't fight any more, but said, "You wait for me, go back to school, I'll bleed you!" ”
Liao Su was no longer entangled, and hurriedly walked away, but he heard Wang Ba's cruel words.
He knew that this person would definitely be retribution, and he would not let himself go easily when he arrived at school.
While thinking and walking, he saw a stone bench on the side of the road, and he was really bored, so he sat down on the stone bench.
He thought back to how Wang Ba humiliated himself, and now he lived in "fear" and "threat" all day long, if he continued like this, would he really let people bully him for three years?
No, on a day like this, he can't stay for a day, he has to do something, at least not sit still.
In the midst of his inner struggle, his right hand touched the pocket of his pants and touched a hard object.
He took it out and took a look, it was nothing else, it was the switchblade that Li Hui gave him.
At this time, an evil thought came to his mind, and he thought......
He took the knife and stabbed Wang Ba's body, punched him in the eye, and watched him kneel and beg for mercy......
After more than ten minutes, Liao Su seemed to have eased up a lot, and got up and walked to the hotel.
Liu Qing kept thinking about how to get the money, and he took out his private money, but it was far from enough.
He was a little upset when he stayed at home, his parents were busy outside, so he planned to go out for a walk, and when he left, he took all the money he had saved with him.
Coming out of his house, he walked aimlessly down the street, and before he knew it, he had wandered to the river.
During the day, there are still some people exercising, but at night, and in winter, it is as quiet as a cemetery.
Except for the sound of the flowing river, almost nothing could be heard.
After a few steps, he was about to go into the city, which was so deserted that he was about to leave when he suddenly heard some noise in the distance.
"Don't let him run away......"
"Catch up with him, I'm going to beat him up......"
"This stupid x actually dares to fight back and kill him......"
Liu Qing stopped to leave, he looked into the distance from the fence, and gradually those people ran closer.
There is an embankment on the side of the river, Liu Qing's location is on the embankment, and below the embankment is a corridor, and those people ran from the corridor, and the height is four or five meters.
When those people ran closer, Liu Qing saw clearly that it was five people chasing one person to fight.
Soon the beaten person was physically exhausted, and he was surrounded by five people in the middle, Liu Qing thought to himself: "This person must inevitably be beaten." ”
At this moment, the man suddenly pulled out a knife from his trouser pocket, and he held the knife in his right hand and pointed it at the men.
Unexpectedly, those people were really frightened by him, and obediently gave way and let the man run away.
Liu Qing was a little surprised, he now understood that if he had a weapon on his body, he would not be bullied by these people at will.
Leaving the river, I came directly to Xiguan on the path, where there are many bungalows, and there are no people on weekdays, let alone at night.
The darkness made it impossible for him to continue shopping, and just as he was about to turn to leave, he saw a shop in the distance that had not yet closed.
When he saw that it was the shop that sold knives, he decided to go and have a look.
The boss didn't expect that there would be someone so late, and he was about to close the door, when Liu Qing walked in.
The boss said directly: "What do you want to buy, I'm going to close the store." ”
Liu Qing was originally a little hesitant in his heart, but the boss's urging made him even more irritable, and he touched the money in his pocket.
So, with a heartbeat, he walked directly to the knife he saw before, took it down and asked, "How much is this?" ”
The boss gestured with his hand to make an "eight" gesture and said, "Eight pieces." ”
Liu Qing didn't think much about it, and he didn't bargain, he directly counted eight yuan to the teacher and took the knife.
The boss took the money, but he was a little puzzled, why did this person come to buy a knife so late, but as long as he gave the money, he was willing to buy it, then he would definitely sell it.
Liu Qing finally bought a knife, and he couldn't ask his parents for money, so he had to figure out a way by himself.
He returned home with the knife, still scared, so he practiced the knife in front of the bathroom mirror.
As soon as he took out the knife, he could see in the mirror that his eyes were full of fear.
If this is the state, then even if you take out the knife yourself, it will be useless.
He adjusted his form, tried to be vicious, and tried a few more times.
When the state in the back reached a few points, he pulled out his knife violently, and said to the mirror: "Come on, I'll kill you......"
After saying this, he put the knife back in his pocket, then looked at the mirror viciously, pulled out the knife again, and said: "Wang Ba, are you itching or underwhelming?" Kill you! (Pigan: It means that you are underbeaten or too arrogant, like being more eventful, accompanied by provocation, or meddling in the face of something that should not be taken care of, etc.) )
(In addition, if the other party adds the word "don't" in front, this is telling the other party not to meddle in things, or not to provoke directly, which is not swearing.) )
This time the effect was very good, Liu Qing nodded with satisfaction, and then, he took the knife and went out.
Liu Qing lives in the south of the city, and at this point, there are basically no people, and the streets are empty.
He wanted to see if he could scare people, and if he could, he wanted to grab some money.
Walking down the street into a small alley, he saw a shop with its doors open, and when he walked to the door, he found only an old man watching the shop.
Liu Qing stood opposite and looked around, there was no one, and the lights were dim.
He slowly took out his knife and glanced at it, but he didn't dare to go in directly, and lingered in the door for several minutes.
During this time, he struggled internally, not knowing whether he should do it or not.
In the end, he decided to go in and give it a try, after all, he was just an old man, and even if he couldn't grab something, he could easily escape.
He prepared a mask, put it on, and slowly approached the commissary, and as he entered, he looked around again to make sure that there was no one before entering.
The old man was watching Peking Opera, and his voice was still relatively loud, but he didn't notice it when Liu Qing walked in.
And Liu Qing didn't speak, just stood in front of the counter and looked at the old man, who felt that the light seemed to be blocked by something.
When he looked up, and saw a guest coming, he stood up and asked, "What do you want to buy, young man?" ”
Liu Qing looked at the old man coldly, and suddenly, he took out a knife with his right hand and pointed it at the old man, without saying a word.
The old man didn't expect to encounter this situation, and he was so frightened that he fainted on the ground.
Liu Qing hurriedly put away the knife, opened the cabinet in the counter, grabbed a handful of money and ran out.
