Chapter 98: Central City

Views:

There are Qinghe taverns in every city, and the Yangtze River City has the largest number of them. At the same time, it is also the origin of Qinghe taverns. The reason for this is naturally inseparable from Cheng Xuze's support.

Shi Qingyang and Cheng Ran went to the largest Qinghe tavern in Yangtze River City. Of course, although it was huge, it was still located underground—the rent in the underground city was much cheaper than on the ground.

This Qinghe tavern occupies a large area. The two big characters "Qinghe" are written in ancient calligraphy at the entrance. It looks very atmospheric. After entering, the lights are unexpectedly bright.

"Boss, Young Master Cheng!" As soon as Shi Qingyang entered, he saw Fu Xiaoyang who was standing in front of the bar. He was talking to the bartender in the bar.

The bartender master who is not too young and does not seem to be out of the ordinary. When he was young, he fought in the wild for 20 years. He may not understand anything about the wind and moon field, but he can say things about strange beasts casually. So I can talk to all Radiant Warriors.

"Fu Xiaoyang, are you here too?" Shi Qingyang asked.

"Yeah, I'm here to drink..." Fu Xiaoyang seemed a little embarrassed and lowered his head.

"Are you here to find Shang Mufeng?" Shi Qingyang immediately understood when he saw his expression.

Fu Xiaoyang moved his mouth, but didn't say anything, but his face turned red. Shi Qingyang knew his shyness and didn't care, but looked at the bartender: "Elder Sun, is Shang Mufeng here?"

As soon as Shi Qingyang asked this, Fu Xiaoyang's ears perked up, but the person whom Shi Qingyang called Old Sun smiled: "Little boss, Xiao Shang is waiting in Box 1 upstairs."

"I'll go up and have a look." Shi Qingyang smiled, and then looked at Fu Xiaoyang, who was poking his head next to him: "If you want to go, just follow." The few people he took away from Changjiang City were related to him in his previous life. Excellent, but after all, the talents are very general, so in the past six years, they have left his team one after another and chose to develop in his or other Cheng family industries. Most of them are married and have children, and only Fu Xiaoyang has been following him. .

This person lived by picking up prey behind the crazy Ye Houan in his previous life, and his life gradually improved after following Shi Qingyang. Now he has been promoted by Shi Qingyang from the beginning, and his life has been much smoother, but I don't know if it is It is not for this reason that he is more shy than Shi Qingyang remembers, and even his emotional experience has become different.

In the last life until Shi Qingyang's death, Fu Xiaoyang didn't get married. In this life, he fell in love with one person early, that is, Shang Mufeng, who is now helping Shi Qingyang take care of all the Qinghe taverns.

This tavern is divided into upper and lower floors, the lower floor is the lobby, the upper floor is the patio in the middle, but there is a circle of boxes around, and box 1 is one of them.

When Shi Qingyang passed by, Shang Mufeng had already opened the door of Box 1 and waited. He was as tall as Shi Qingyang, but thinner. Under the light of the tavern, his handsome face was a little too pale.

"If you hide in the ground all day, maybe you will be no different from a vampire in the future." Shi Qingyang said when he saw the other party's appearance.

"I've been called that for a long time, the vampire in the mall." Shang Mufeng called someone in, stretched out his left hand to close the door, but his right hand hung motionless by his side.

"How is your right hand adapting?" Shi Qingyang glanced at it and asked, most of the employees in Qinghe Tavern have lost their fighting power, and Shang Mufeng is naturally the same - his right arm is from the elbow down, and it is completely there is none left.

"It adapts very well." Shang Mufeng moved his right hand. Now his right hand is made of metal, and each finger is a blade, which is completely a murder weapon.

The pale face coupled with this hand made him look a little scary.

"That's good." Shi Qingyang sat down. Although Shang Mufeng was cold and unpopular now, it was much more normal than before. The first time he saw this person in the tavern, his face looked even more serious than now. Pale white, not only that, but Shang Mufeng, who lost his right arm, also had an iron rod and a tray on his right hand to give people wine, and the whole person looked a bit like a robot.

At that time, Shi Qingyang could hardly control his expression, for nothing else, because this Shang Mufeng was very famous in his memory.

When he was young, he was injured by a strange beast and lost an arm. After ten years of struggle, he practiced many combat skills with only one left hand, and hit a prosthesis on his right hand. The fighting power is not inferior to the one-armed god of war of a well-bodied person. He even served wine in his tavern!

To use combat skills, you must rely on the movements of your fingers and arms. With only one arm left, the combat power should be reduced by half. Shang Mufeng can become a god of war later, one can imagine how much he paid.

Shang Mufeng is somewhat similar to the former him, so seeing Shang Mufeng in distress, Shi Qingyang also gave him a lot of convenience.

Shang Mufeng, who was originally just a waiter, joined his team 15 years after he signed an agreement to "sell himself" to him. He also found someone to order an expensive arm for him.

At that time, Shi Qingyang thought that Shang Mufeng would be a strong man who would kill the Quartet, so he cultivated Shang Mufeng's fighting talent. Unexpectedly, Shang Mufeng rejected his proposal and instead proposed to do business...

It was also at that time that Shi Qingyang discovered that although Shang Mufeng was a one-armed god of war in his previous life, his talent in business was obviously higher than his talent in combat.

At present, the Qinghe taverns across the country are all in charge of Shang Mufeng, who is also Shang Mufeng, so that Qinghe taverns, which Shi Qingyang had been losing money at the beginning, slowly began to make profits.

"Shang Mufeng, I'm going to Central City." Shi Qingyang said again.

"So?" Shang Mufeng was puzzled.

"Central City is a super city above first-tier cities, but there are not many Qinghe taverns there... I hope you go with me and expand the intelligence system of Central City." Shi Qingyang said, Qinghe The tavern is actually an intelligence system. In the past, he was afraid of being targeted by the Feng family or other big families in the central city, so he did not dare to develop too much in the central city. He only opened a few small ones, but now the time is almost up.

He has been outside for six years and often observes alien beasts. He also wants to find out the reason for the beast riots in his previous life, but he can't find anything. This time he went to Central City, if possible, he also wanted to find information on this aspect. , of course, more importantly, he wanted to destroy the Feng family's research institute.

There should be no place where living people are used for research!

Hearing Shi Qingyang's words, Shang Mufeng was silent for a while, and then nodded quickly: "Okay."

"If you have an assistant you want to bring, you can bring it with you and set off with us." Shi Qingyang said again, seeing Shang Mufeng nodding his head, he immediately changed the subject: "Is it time to explain the combat skills? "

"Yes." Shang Mufeng said, he pressed the switch next to him, the wall of the box facing the central patio became transparent, and in the middle of the entire tavern, a square with screens on all sides. The browser plays today's content.

Today is not about combat skills, but about a kind of exotic beast and how to deal with that kind of beast. During the period, not only people explained it, but there were also videos of hunting that kind of beast in the wild, and even mentioned encountering this kind of beast. How to escape, very practical.

At the same time, such pictures and texts, as well as video explanations, will not make the viewers feel bored.

Although Shi Qingyang no longer needs skills to deal with such alien beasts, he still read it very seriously.

"Now we will find someone to shoot the content of each episode, and then we will find a director to edit it to ensure that it looks good. Although the cost will be relatively high, we will sell it online after sorting it out, and we will only make a lot of money. Now many Radiance schools will Recommend children to watch our documentary." Shang Mufeng explained next to him.

"It's really good." Cheng Ran nodded. He and Shi Qingyang were very busy. The last time they came to Qinghe Tavern was a year ago. After a year, the place has really changed a lot.

Seeing Cheng Ran's concentration, Shi Qingyang kissed Cheng Ran's forehead: "This is my idea, how about it?"

"It's amazing!" Cheng Ran praised with respect.

The Qinghe Tavern in Yangtze River City was on the right track long ago, and Shi Qingyang didn't need to take care of it, so he quickly took Shang Mufeng and drove the mobile fort out of Yangtze River City.

Before leaving, Cheng Ran also left all the potions he made these days to Ran Xue. Those potions can last for more than a month. By then, they should have already arrived in the central city, and they can send a batch to Ran Xue. of medicine.

The central city is to the north, starting from the Yangtze River City to the central city, the mobile fortress moves along the road between the cities, and it takes five days to stop and stop. Beasts, it took more time. It took half a month before they entered the scope of the central city safety zone.

In the vicinity of the central city, everything is in good order, and the animal farms and medicinal planting farms are one after another. Because the central city is too big, and the surrounding land is also useful, it is basically impossible for people to hunt near the city. Because of this, eight satellite cities have also been established near the central city, allowing people to go further afield.

All the satellite cities are outside the central city's safe area and are connected to the central city by underground cable cars. They are basically the size of small third-tier cities, and finally form a huge residential area.

"It's really big here." Cheng Ran was the first time to go to Central City, and when he saw everything around him, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"In the beginning, this was the first city established by the survivors, and it accommodated the most people. Now it is the economic and cultural center of China. How could it be not big?" Shi Qingyang said with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to the library of Central University more and more." Cheng Ran took a deep breath. Although a lot of information is now shared, not everyone can read the most profound knowledge. For example, Central University, it must be If you are a student or teacher at school, you can enter the online library by scanning the ID chip.

"I hope your research can make a breakthrough." Shi Qingyang rubbed Cheng Ran's head: "Unfortunately, I haven't found a mutant beast like that ant queen in the past six years."

The queen ant had obviously mutated. For the past six years, Shi Qingyang had been trying to find another one, but unfortunately he couldn't.

Cheng Ran also knew about this matter: "It's nothing, it would be strange if such beasts were everywhere."

While the two of them were talking, their mobile fortress was already close to the central city. Other cities can park mobile fortresses outside as long as they find a place for themselves, but here, they need to rent a venue. Of course, in view of the people who can afford mobile fortresses They're all rich, and no one would think it's inappropriate.

"Master, let me take you to dinner! I used to like to eat at Yumixiang the most. The food there is very delicious!" When he got there, he got into the driver's seat of the chariot carried on the mobile fortress, and Zheng Gaoyuan said immediately.

"Then go to Yumixiang." Cheng Xuze said. He also lived in Central City for a long time when he was young, but he was busy exercising himself and improving his strength at that time, but he didn't know anything about delicious food.

After setting up the automatic navigation, the car quickly drove towards Yumixiang. Along the way, people who hadn't been in the city for a long time naturally used the contact terminal to notify others.

Shi Qingyang's contact terminal is a good thing that Cheng Xuze helped him. He can have several contact numbers. Not long after he entered the city, he found that one of the contact numbers had received a communication from Cheng Xuze, telling me not to be hungry. He came to the central government. City, ask me not to go hungry, is it also here.

Seeing this, it is clear that he wants to face the foundation... Shi Qingyang decisively ignored it and went to see Cheng Xuze, only to find that Cheng Xuze, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat in front of him, had already started to contact his two granddaughters.

Cheng Hui's son is 18 years old this year and is still studying in Changjiang City, but his two daughters have come to Central City. The older Cheng Shanshan got married last year and married one of her classmates. Now the husband and wife The two operate a medicinal plant in Central City, while Cheng Sisi, the younger one, is still studying at the Central Radiation Energy Academy, and is said to have joined a team.

In fact, apart from the two of them, Cheng Hong's family also moved to Anhang City after Cheng Hong's accident six years ago, but Cheng Xuze did not inform them.

Of course, even if notified, Cheng Hong probably won't come. Radiant energy is a very domineering energy. When he was forcibly promoted to the seventh level, he suffered a dark injury. Later, he suffered a serious injury and broke a leg. Now he faces the pain of radiation energy riot every day, and his whole person is almost useless. It is said that apart from Qin Liu, he basically sees no outsiders now.

As for Cheng Hong's children, under the influence of Cheng Hong, they are not close to the Cheng family at all, and Cheng Xuze, a grandfather, will naturally not rush to please himself.

Yumixiang occupies a large area, and the decoration is resplendent. Zheng Gaoyuan got out of the car and arrived at the door familiarly: "Prepare us a big box for 20 people!"

"Sir, we have to reserve the box here, and there is no room left now." The waiter at the door said respectfully.

"I've been here so many times before, when did I make a reservation?" Zheng Gaoyuan was stunned.

"Sir, I'm sorry, our box here really needs to be reserved." The waiter bowed again.

It was the first time Zheng Gaoyuan encountered such a thing, and his face was embarrassed. He was a face-saving person, and now he felt that he would not be able to step down. He blurted out his old mantra: "Do you know who I am?"

"Sir, you can dine in the lobby if you want." The waiter had a good temper, but he also clearly revealed that he didn't know Zheng Gaoyuan.

Yumixiang is also a well-known hotel in the central city. Many of the boxes here have been booked for a long time, and the free ones have been booked for a long time. Zheng Gaoyuan, a person they don’t know at all, naturally has no choice. arrive.

Zheng Gaoyuan couldn't remember whether he had made a reservation for dinner. At that time, he was a fat man who didn't care about anything except eating and sleeping. How could he care so much? But now...

"I'll contact my grandparents immediately." Zheng Gaoyuan was annoyed. He was timid because of his proximity to the hometown, and because he understood a lot of things after clearing his mind, he did not notify his family immediately, but now he had to contact him.

"Grandpa!" At this moment, a voice sounded, and soon, a young girl jumped up and ran over, and the young man who followed the girl came to the waiter: "The box of the Feng family is still there. Well, Grandpa Cheng is a figure that even my grandfather respects very much, so I invited him to dinner today."

"Feng Linqiu?" Zheng Gaoyuan looked at the young man in surprise, but Shi Qingyang's pupils shrank.

In his last life, one was Feng Linqiu and the other was Liang Liang. He had thought of ways to retaliate more than once, and wanted them to have a taste of what he had tasted, but he did not expect to meet so soon.

"Grandpa, our team was originally buying supplies for hunting out of the city. After receiving your contact, Captain Feng sent me here." Cheng Sisi said later, his face flushed, and he secretly glanced at Feng Linqiu.

When Shi Qingyang saw this, what else could he not understand? Feng Linqiu was born with great talent and is the most outstanding young man in Central City. No one else can match him, so naturally he has attracted the admiration of many people. Even if he married early in his previous life, many people still like him He, now he's not married, let alone.

Although Cheng Sisi was one year older than him, he could be said to be of the same age. The Cheng family is not what it used to be now, and even the family background is the same, so there may be some ambiguity between the two.

However, Cheng Sisi may take these ambiguities seriously, but Feng Linqiu is mostly just for fun. This person has always been indifferent. He is tender to himself, but he is very contemptuous behind his back, and he once argued with this "friend" over this matter...

"Grandpa Cheng, I'm friends with Cheng Sisi. Today I'm the host, and I'll invite Grandpa Cheng to dinner." Feng Linqiu said with a smile: "Grandpa Cheng, don't refuse, my grandfather asked me to bring a message to Grandpa Cheng, and I want to trouble you with something. "

Feng Linqiu's grandfather is Feng Yunhong, one of the two ninth-level masters in Huaguo. Feng Linqiu said this, and Cheng Xuze naturally would not refuse, and followed Feng Linqiu into the box.

Until this time, Zheng Gaoyuan suddenly remembered something: "Our Zheng family also has a special box here, I just need to swipe the contact terminal!"

"Go in." Shi Qingyang glanced at him with a calm tone.

Cheng Ran quickly held Shi Qingyang's hand: "Qingyang, don't you like that person?"

"Yes." Shi Qingyang smiled.

"Then I don't like him either." Cheng Ran said immediately, the familiar feeling that had arisen was thrown behind his head, and only his dislike for Feng Linqiu remained.
