The southern part of Hongshan City has always been a gathering place for the local middle and lower classes and a large number of foreign populations, and it is densely populated and mixed. According to the statistics released by the city hall last year, the floating population in the three districts south of the city has exceeded 1.5 million, and the number of outsiders outside the city walls is several times higher.

In this complex environment, many gangs will naturally breed, among which the Snake Gang is the leader of the South City, and the scope of influence can even radiate to the East and North Districts where the nobles of Hongshan City gather, and the successive gang leaders will inherit the title of the Snake Master, and at the same time inherit the secret personal relationship with the upper nobles, and deal with the dirty work that some bigwigs are unwilling to deal with personally.

With this influence and communication network, the successive snake lords have eye-popping wealth and power, and many people even think that the influence of the snake lord in the south city is completely comparable to some aristocratic families in the east of the city.

There's only one problem: the life cycle of the snake master is too short.

In the 70 years since the establishment of the Snake Gang, more than 40 snake masters have been replaced, and the longest tenure of them has not exceeded 3 years! Most of them have died in various unspeakable accidents, the 17th snake master slipped in the bathroom and was strangled by a shower curtain, the 18th snake master was smashed into a cake by a falling object when passing by the construction site, and the 21st snake master was kicked and killed by an inexplicable old woman who broke his front teeth...... In comparison, choking on eating and drinking water is already the smallest pediatric way of death, and it is very faceless in the snake master's death encyclopedia.

And looking at the hastily piled grave bag in front of her, the girl Xiaoqing said in her heart: Boss, since you took over as the snake master 1 year ago, you have been pioneering and ambitious, you want to go further than your predecessors, you want to get out of the quagmire in the south of the city and soar into the sky, and become the most legendary snake master in the past, and now, at least your death method is not inferior to all your predecessors!

The dignified leader of the Snake Gang was killed on the spot when he touched porcelain - the only designated cause of death of the Snake Gang - this is also a rare news, and as a close subordinate of the Snake Master, the "Xinzi" who was personally rescued from danger by him back then, and now the new Snake Master, Xiaoqing's idea is also very simple......

Turning her head and looking at the tall man with a blank expression, the girl said.

"Ah Qiang, come with me to find that white boy. ”

The tall man was suddenly excited: "How many people are you going to take revenge?"

"......" Xiaoqing had a calm face, looked up and down a few times at this stout "letter" who had made great contributions to the previous snake master, and determined that this person's suggestion was not to promote the sudden death of the previous snake masters, but purely out of brain damage, and finally sighed.

"Take revenge, find someone who can throw hundreds of thousands of silver dollars at your fingertips to take revenge? Are you brainbroken? Now, of course, you are looking for someone to apologize!"

——

At the same time, outside the Nancheng Broken Data Laboratory, there was already a crowd of people, although Bai Xiao went out early in the morning, but when he arrived, he had already been blocked three streets away.

As far as the eye can see, outside the hemispherical laboratory, thousands of people have gathered densely, kneeling on the ground facing the laboratory, and constantly prostrating and praying. A translucent curtain of water separated them from the lab.

Radiating from the laboratory, several relatively spacious streets have been crowded with tents and mats of all kinds, and thousands of floating people have temporarily settled here, forming a settlement like a refugee area around the hemispherical laboratory.

These people had already set up camp here even a month earlier, occupying a handful of the most advantageous positions outside the lab, and the later ones had only gradually spread outward, until today, the radiation was even as far away as three blocks away.

Most of them are families of candidates who have come to pray for good luck for their children.

The Grand Master of Broken Numbers has been the dean of the Red Mountain Academy for more than thirty years, and his laboratory has been built for twenty-five years. As early as twenty-five years ago, in order to pray for good luck, someone rushed outside the math laboratory to pray day and night before the academy exams. There are different opinions about the results of that person's examination, some people say that he performed exceptionally and was admitted to Hongshan Academy, some people say that although he was not admitted to Hongshan, he relied on excellent grades to get the admission notice of Qingcheng Huiwen Academy, and of course, some people say that his day and night prayers are useless, purely to add to the municipal management...... But most people still believe in the former, believing that if they rush to the laboratory of the Grand Master himself and pray before the exam, they will get extraordinary results.

This superstition has developed for 25 years and has become the traditional culture of Hongshan City, and the number of people gathered outside the laboratory during the examination period every year has reached a new high, and this year it is approaching 10,000. Nearly 10,000 people gather in a few small neighborhoods to live with the local residents, forming a strange picture of five colors.

A middle-aged woman with a slightly rickety posture stood in front of a simple tent made of several pieces of coarse cloth, and scolded with a resentful expression: "Why can't you light it up?" The children of the Huang family next door can light up seven lamps in a row, why can't you even light one! The exam is going to be in two days, what results do you still expect to get in the exam? How much hardship did your father and I suffer in order to provide you with food and clothing for coming here for the exam? Are you worthy of us?"

A young man holding a small lantern sobbed: "It's a child who is not filial......

But no matter how much he cried, how he blushed and pressed hard at the lantern, the bulb was always dim.

"Useless thing!" the middle-aged woman slapped her, and then hid her face and cried, "Why is my life so miserable......"

......

Such pictures abound, Bai Xiao looked at it for a while, only to feel that his eyes were wide open, it turned out that the southerners and the snow mountains are not fundamentally different, similar pictures, he has seen many times in the tribe, but when he was in the tribe, most of those angry mothers complained to their children: "You are not even one-tenth of Bai Xiao's back then! Doesn't it prove that you are not related by blood, and you are not my flesh and blood with him!? You, you are so cowardly, are you worthy of my hard work for a few nights?"

“！？？？”

......

At the same time, a tall snow-capped mountain boy stood on the side of the road, and it was not a sight to behold? Soon a rich man in a brocade robe came up and asked, "Young man, you are also here to pray for blessings?" Listen to my advice, forget it, I have lived here for nearly 40 years, and I have never heard of anyone who was admitted to the academy by praying for blessings. And you have also seen that there are thousands of people who come to pray for blessings these days, and no matter how many blessings there are, how many people can afford to share them? ”

"I'm not here to pray for blessings. ”

The old man raised his eyebrows......: "Oh? Do you want to meet the little girl Qingyue? Then you have to listen to my advice, forget it, people are high-ranking grandmaster disciples, how can they come out to meet mortals?"

"I'm her ex-boyfriend. ”

"Hehe, it's not okay if you're her current boyfriend. The old man sneered, "Do you think you're the only one who wants to get this trick? In the past few days, her fiancé, her godfather, her mother-in-law, and her illegitimate children have come one after another...... Writing a genealogy can be half a meter thick! But even if these people cry outside and dry their throats and knock through their brains, they can't hear a single thing inside, and the water curtain isolates the inside and outside, and even if the sky falls apart, it won't affect the inside, after all, people are here to study, not to save relatives. You'd better save it, young man. ”

After saying that, the old man waved his hand and swayed away.

Bai Xiao was suddenly silent, looking at the faint water curtain in the distance, he couldn't help frowning, thinking about how to cross this barrier and see Qingyue. And at this moment, a slightly familiar voice came from behind him.

"Bai Gongzi, but what's the difficulty?"

Turning his head, Bai Xiao saw a petite girl wearing a hooded cloak, the hood was taken off by her, revealing her delicate and pretty facial features, a faint smile on her face, facing the morning sun, her skin looked extraordinarily fair and lovely. It's just a small black snake embroidered on her shoulder, which adds a bit of weirdness to the girl's smile.

Bai Xiao moved his nose, smelled a familiar smell, and then recognized that this was the lemming sister who ran to kill herself in the early morning. Then he took out a piece of green jade from his pocket and threw it to the side.

Xiaoqing subconsciously twisted the probe, jumped in one small step, and reached out to catch the jade in mid-air, like a well-trained pet dog...... When she came back to her senses, the girl couldn't help blushing, but the hand holding the jade refused to let go no matter what.

Too rich, this wild man is too rich!

Does he know how much the gem he threw out is worth?! In the night alleys of Nancheng, this gem is enough to kill hundreds of people to the point of blood!

Is this how he usually spends money indiscriminately? Giving hundreds of thousands of silver dollars and hundreds of thousands of silver dollars to a stranger?

If he continues to squander it like this, even if he has a mine at home, sooner or later he will lose his family business!

Thinking of this person rushing to Hongshan City as early as yesterday morning, I don't know how much money he has squandered this day...... The girl couldn't help but feel a heartache.

No, Bai Xiao, this friend, our snake gang is settled!

After making up her mind, Xiao Qing's face sank and said, "Bai Gongzi, please don't misunderstand, we are not here to extort. ”

Bai Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know whether he should throw out another piece of jade in his hand.

Xiao Qing stared at the more valuable blood diamond in his hand, gritted his teeth and read the lines he had prepared: "The previous events were all our fault, here, on behalf of the Snake Gang, I sincerely apologize to you, and hope that Bai Gongzi can give us a chance to atone for our sins." ”

After speaking, Xiaoqing couldn't wait to shed blood and tears, trembling his hands, took out a beautiful wooden box, opened the lid, and revealed a three-color jade and a gold bar.

"This is what Childe gave before, and now he will return it as it is. ”

Bai Xiao was also shocked when he saw this, this is different from what Bai Wuya said, the money that was spilled out, and the reason for returning it?!

But after thinking about it again, Bai Wuya seems to have mentioned that southerners are greedy for money, but there are exceptions. The conversation was like this......

"Although most of the time, I spend money on women in the Southern Continent, but there are also some women who are discerning and can see the beauty of my human nature......"

"Wait, you have the beauty of humanity?"

"The emphasis is on the herringbone. Bai Wuya explained, "In short, on them, instead of spending money, I can make money. Generally speaking, women who are not greedy for money are most likely to covet the beauty of your human nature, you are my son, the majesty of this beauty of human nature is needless to say, when you reach the southern continent, there must be an infinite and wide space to display. So you really don't need to be obsessed with Qingyue alone, no matter how she looks like a fairy, she can be used to ......"

Although the subsequent conversation was abruptly stopped by Bai Xiao with a bone spear, he still remembered the conclusion that Bai Wuya wanted to emphasize.

A woman who is not greedy for money is likely to covet the beauty of his human nature.

Bai Xiao suddenly frowned: "I'm not interested in you, you better take the money back." ”

Xiaoqing wanted to vomit blood on the spot.

White Savage, can you talk at all?!

But regardless of whether people can chat, Xiaoqing can only grit her teeth and continue to chat.

After all, compared to the jade worth nearly a million silver dollars, Xiao Qing cared more about the jade pocket with seemingly endless reserves!

As long as you establish a good cooperative relationship with this person, what is the value of just a few pieces of jade? As an upfront investment, it is not worth mentioning at all!

"Bai Gongzi, our apology is sincere, and we have absolutely no other thoughts...... And, I see you're having a problem right now, and maybe we can help. For example, do you want to see Miss Kiyotsuki?"

Bai Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "You want to help me see Qingyue?"

Xiaoqing suddenly smiled: "Of course!"

"That's great, just in need of help. Bai Xiao stepped forward and patted Xiaoqing's shoulder, making the petite girl feel that the bones and muscles all over her body began to soften.

Then Bai Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed to the hemispherical laboratory in the distance.

"I'll try to break through that water curtain wall from the front later......"

Before he finished speaking, Xiaoqing interrupted incredulously: "You want to break the water curtain!?"

Bai Xiao sighed: "No way, although you can also be airborne from the sky, or dig tunnels underground, but considering the geographical conditions around here, it is safe to break through head-on." Rest assured, I can't go wrong when it comes to battle planning. ”

Xiao Qing gritted his teeth: "You can't go wrong with a good one! In Hongshan City, head-on impact on the laboratory of the Great Sect Master of Broken Numbers, Bai Gongzi, you are really a genius!"

"Well, thank you. Bai Xiao smiled and threw another gold bar.

Xiaoqing subconsciously caught it, and then wanted to break his hand.

"Bai Gongzi, this matter must not be done! That laboratory is one of the few key places in the entire Great Qin Dynasty, and there is not only the Great Grandmaster of the Apocalypse himself, but also the Red Mountain Council, the Qin Emperor Golden Soldiers, the Apocalypse Alliance, and so on.

Bai Xiao asked, "So serious?"

It seems that in the southern continent, there are still many things that are different from the snow-capped mountains.

In the Snow Mountain Tribe, no matter how important the place is, it will not affect the world. At least in Bai Xiao's impression, the leader's tent, which should theoretically be listed as one of the forbidden places, was often raided by many tribal women at night, and instead of being killed on the spot, they often staggered away the next day with a flushed face. Then it was only Bai Wuya himself who was scolded by Lan Ye......

Seeing that Bai Xiao stopped his impulse, Xiao Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Bai Gongzi, if you really want to see Miss Qingyue, we can indeed help, but this is not the place to talk, I have already asked people to set up a banquet at the White Elephant Wine Shop, why don't we talk while eating." ”
