Chapter 396: Inn

The most important thing is that Guo Tansen's life is coming to an end, first, he is not young, and second, he has left the system of the ghost clan for too long, and he lacks a lot of things to maintain and maintain mechanical modules.

According to his own words, there are two months at most, and his power core will fall into a state of complete obsolescence due to disrepair, which will naturally be equivalent to death.

Even now, due to the fact that most of the mechanical modules in his body are dying, Guo Tansen's whole body function has dropped to a dangerous level, and he may fall down at any time, and then he will not be able to stand up again.

Based on a variety of reasons, he made up his mind to hand over the things to Chen Mu, and as a price for the equivalent exchange, he also asked Chen Mu to make a promise.

Of course, it is up to Chen Mu to fulfill this kind of thing, but for Guo Tansen, this is already the best hope and opportunity.

Unless he wants to take all the secrets and relics to the grave and decay with his body, it is better to gamble and give an account of his past obsessions.

As for whether Chen Mu fulfills it or not, in fact, for Guo Tansen, it is not even so important, if a person is about to die, there must be a thought, otherwise he will really die.

Chen Mu sat at the bar for a while, drank a few glasses of wine back and forth, Guo Tansen said everything he should say, and finally gave Chen Mu a small money bag, which was full of gold carats.

To be honest, the amount is not very much, at least for Chen Mu, who has seen the world, this amount of money is not an astronomical amount, that is, Xiaofu.

Thinking about it, Guo Tansen must have been very cheating back then, but after being on the run for so many years, he didn't have a large amount of income incognito, but he spent a lot of money, and how much money was left in the end, and it was his ability not to be poor.

"Okay, thank you for your hospitality, since I have accepted the things, then the promise to you will be valid, as long as there is a chance at that time, I will try my best to help you fulfill it. ”

Chen Mu drank the last bit of residual wine, put down the wine glass and got up, and said goodbye to Guo Tansen.

Guo Tansen nodded, as if he had unloaded some burden, and the whole person felt a little refreshed: "I believe in your promise, then say goodbye, no, it should be goodbye, Your Excellency the future savior." ”

For this new title that jumped out inexplicably, Chen Mu could only shrug helplessly: "Then goodbye." ”

After saying that, they turned around and went to the other side of the dance floor, the five-person group and the brothers had already drunk dying, but they still maintained the most basic restraint, and their consciousness and ability to act were not fully reimbursed.

"Let's go, go back to sleep, this is not the place to spend the night. ”

Chen Mu gave the order, and the seven of them staggered to their feet, not forgetting to bring the unfinished wine.

The group went out of the tavern, it was already the next morning, the weather was not good, gloomy, but the island had its own light source, and it was not dark.

There were a lot of drunks along the way, but on the whole it was quite quiet, and those who should have drunk slept on the streets, and those who were not drunk either continued to drink in the tavern or found another place to play.

Anyway, for these sailors, drunkenness and death are the best life on shore, and they are reluctant to leave all kinds of lights until the last moment when the fleet leaves port.

The five-member group and the brothers naturally didn't want to go back to the ship so early, but they didn't dare to disobey Chen Mu's order, not to mention that they could eat, drink and have fun, all relying on Chen's wallet, otherwise with their status as temporary workers, how could they have money to drink, and it would be difficult to eat.

Who knew that Chen Mu didn't plan to take them back to the boat now, there were many people there and there were many eyes, which was not suitable for what he was going to do next, it was better to find a place with fewer people on the shore.

There is no such thing as the wild, in the case of artificial islands such as "Treasure Island", it is difficult to find any remote places, each area has a division function and function, and there is no slum, no man's land and the like, most of them are commercial areas.

On this kind of island, it is not without the poor who are forced to suffer, but it is completely different from the land cities that Chen Mu has seen before, there is no such place as a slum here.

Most of the island's poor are shipwrecked seafarers, or to put it bluntly, unlucky potential laborers, who are of some use compared to refugees who are completely incapacitated.

Therefore, during the period of their stay, they also exist as temporary workers, working for various forces on the island, and the treatment is food and shelter, and the salary is naturally nothing, and even if there is, it is very small, which is better than doing temporary work in the fleet.

For such an almost exploitative treatment, the persecutors are naturally extremely dissatisfied, that is, the potential riot factor, and the various forces on the island naturally have to guard against it.

Therefore, the existence of such a place as the slum will never be allowed, which will cause a large number of these sufferers to gather, and it is easy to collude, and if it is not done well, it will lead to riots or riots.

As a result, an unspoken rule was formed, each family divided its own territory according to its own strength, how much floating population to receive, that is, to control the area of these shipwrecked seafarers.

In addition, most of the aborigines who have really settled on the island for a long time have formed an inherent force, and they naturally have a resistance to outsiders, making it more difficult for outsiders to integrate into the local area.

For example, Guo Tansen also took a lot of effort to stay in the "Treasure Island" for a long time, which can be regarded as half a local with a green card.

Even if he was able to stay here for a long time, it would be almost impossible for him to enter the inner circle of the island, and he could only live in the dock area as a marginal person.

The real inner island area, which is a place where the core forces can live and live, is not open to the public, let alone temporary workers, and regular seafarers cannot enter.

Chen Mu didn't want to go for trouble, so he found a hotel in the dock area, which was not large, and opened a single room for himself, as for the five-person group and the brothers, he gave them a few small dollars and let them play in the hall by themselves.

This kind of hotel does not refer to the accommodation business to make money, and there is no such formal hotel in the dock area, although they all make money by sleeping business, but the hotel here focuses on sleeping, that is, relying on the warbler to make money, and doing it is the skin and meat business.

And in the hall, there are also dance performances, but they are not serious dances, Chen Mu is too lazy to take a few looks, in terms of dance level, there is really nothing in the wasteland that can enter his eyes.
