Chapter 35 035. Cooperation
This is the first time Chen Strobe has entered a bar since he came to this world.
And it’s a bar in the slums.
Just after pushing the door open, Chen Shibo smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
The bar was dark.
The layout of the bar in Chen Strobo's memory was similar. To the east was a wooden bar with a row of dazzling wine racks on which bottles of unknown spirits were placed.
It's just that most of them look inferior, and a few wine cabinets marked with high-end areas have a thick layer of dust on them.
Standing at the bar was a female bartender. The bright halo on her temples and her somewhat dull expression meant that she was an android.
But in order to match the atmosphere of the bar, she also wore revealing clothes, revealing her dull skin.
On the seats at the bar, there was a row of arrogant customers. These people were all in gang attire, holding wine glasses and laughing loudly.
Behind the gang members was a small and dim dance floor.
The dance floor was divided into two parts: the stage and the bottom. On the stage, there were three women whose faces could not be seen clearly, performing unhealthy dances and twisting around on the pole.
Moreover, the three of them together could not even get enough fabric for a pair of underwear.
Under the stage, there was a crowd of cheering spectators. These people followed the ups and downs of the dance floor lights, twisting together with the strangers around them, and acting wildly.
With just one glance, Chen Shibo had a panoramic view of it all.
He found an empty seat at the edge of the bar, sat down silently, and then looked back at the two people following him.
Seeing this, the two of them hesitantly sat in front of Chen Shibo.
These two people were none other than the brother and sister surnamed Liang whom they met when they were hospitalized.
The elder sister’s name is Liang Xiaohydro, and the younger brother’s name is Liang Xiaoshui.
"What do you three want?"
As soon as I sat down, the android waiter who had been waiting in the corner came over.
The other party was wearing an old and somewhat smelly tuxedo. The shirt was so dark that the background color could not be seen clearly, and its face was black and burnt. It seemed that many people had stubbed out cigarette butts directly on its face. .
"Give me a glass of lemonade, thank you."
Chen Shibo said first, then looked at the two people beside him.
"I'd like a cup of 'Plutocrat's Ace'."
Liang Xiaoshui glanced at Chen Bishan with ill intentions and said proactively.
"A cup of magic grapefruit tea."
Liang Xiaohydro on the side ordered a cup of something different.
After the waiter left, Liang Xiaoshui stared at Chen Shibo and couldn't help but ask, "So what are you doing here? You're not looking for us specifically, are you?"
"That's not true, but I do need your help with something."
Chen Zhongshan pondered for a moment and then said tentatively, "I just don't know if you two are willing."
"Of course I don't want to."
Liang Xiaoshui snorted coldly, "We don't dare to take on tasks from the chaebol. Who knows if we will be silenced after completing the task."
"one million."
Chen Shibo said softly.
"What?"
"One million Thai dollars."
Chen Shibo held out a finger and said, "My mission is very simple. Let me enter the inner city without revealing my identity, and follow my command to kill a few people. I will give you one million when the task is completed."
"Although one million is indeed a lot, why do you give me the middle finger?"
Liang Xiaoshui murmured in stunned silence. He stared at Chen Shibo in amazement, obviously frightened by the asking price of one million.
"We refuse this mission."
At this moment, Liang Xiaohydro, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up. Her voice was a little deep and hoarse, indicating that she was not as young as she looked.
At this time, I only heard her explain, "Your mission is too vague and no one dares to take it. After all, no matter how much money you have, you have to have a life to get it."
"sister?"
Hearing this, Liang Xiaoshui quickly wanted to say something, but then Liang Xiaohydr waved his hand and had to shut his mouth.
"Why don't you think about it more?"
Chen Shibo did not explain, but asked with interest.
“The greater the reward, the greater the risk.”
Liang Xiaohydro pulled up his long hair and said solemnly, "This is a warning from the outer city since ancient times. Let's not talk about whether there is a trap in your words. Even if there is not, a job with a salary of one million is far beyond ours. In terms of ability, after all, according to the mercenary market, even if you work hard, most of them will only get a reward of 10,000 to 20,000."
"Technically, that's the money that hired your entire gang."
Hearing this, Chen Shibo also put away his smile and showed a bit of seriousness, "I don't know what gang you are joining, and I don't care, but I want all the people in your gang who can enter the inner city to help me kill them. A few people, that’s my mission.”
"Who are these people?"
Liang Xiaohydr still looked at Chen Shibo solemnly.
"It cannot be disclosed at the moment."
Chen Shibo spread his hands, "Actually, strictly speaking, you are just making up the number of people in my mission. It can be said that as long as everything goes smoothly, none of your lives will be in danger. Believe it or not."
"Not only that, if you are still worried, I can pay half of the deposit first, and then pay the other half after the mission is completed. I believe you also understand that one million is just a drop in the bucket to me."
"..."
Hearing this, Liang Xiaohydr suddenly fell silent.
"sister?"
Liang Xiaoshui on the side was so anxious that he was sweating. In his opinion, such a generous reward would be accepted even if there was a life and death crisis. This was simply a price that ordinary people would find difficult to earn in a lifetime!
After a long silence, Liang Xiaohydro slowly raised his head, "So, can I ask a question?"
Chen Shibo made a gesture of invitation.
"Why choose us?"
Liang Xiaohydro asked, "If we are not satisfied with your answer to this question, I will not accept this task."
"the reason is simple."
Chen Shibo smiled when he heard this, "Besides the reason of chance encounter, the main reason is that you know my identity, and I can't expose my identity, so you are the only ones who are willing to believe that I can afford the price."
"Is that the reason?"
"That's why."
Chen Shibo replied.
Hearing this, Liang Xiaohydr finally exhaled slowly. She looked at Chen Shibo steadily and said, "Okay, we have accepted this task!"
"Wise choice."
Chen Shibo was not surprised at all that the other party agreed. After all, one million Thai dollars is not a small amount. Even if it is divided among ten people, each person still has one hundred thousand Thai dollars. This is the salary of an ordinary citizen for four to five years, and for outer cities, The reward is even more generous.
At this time, the android waiter finally brought the drinks for the three of them. Chen Shibo raised his glass and said, "Well, happy cooperation!"
“Happy to work with!”
The three of them clinked glasses.
After the other party agreed, Chen Shibo pretended to take a sip of lemonade. In fact, he just touched his lips slightly and did not drink it.
At the same time, he looked at Liang Xiaoshui beside him and couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that he was drinking his drink with a painful look on his face.
“Why is this wine called ‘Plutocrat’s Ace’?”
"It's just a name for vodka in the outer cities."
Liang Xiaohydr drank the tea in his hand and said slightly, "Because the world is uneven. The strong are always strong and the weak are getting weaker. But there is only one thing that is pure and equal, and that is vodka."
"Vodka is one of the cheapest alcoholic drinks in the world. Even for those of you who have power and wealth, the vodka you drink will not be different from that of ordinary people. It is like the most illusory equality, and the poor people will not drink it. I can get my way up the asses of you rich people with this glass of liquor.”
"So this is what 'Ace of the Chaebol' means?"
Chen Zuoshan smiled calmly.
"Yes."
Liang Xiaohydro continued, "In this world, people kill each other for survival resources, and those who can survive in this cage are without exception extreme egoists, just like the proverb circulated in the outer city -"
"'It's your own fault for trusting others and being stabbed in the back. When you get shot in the back one day, it's also your own problem.' In such a world, only strong vodka can temporarily paralyze yourself and release yourself. Myself, although it doesn’t taste good, it is loved by countless people in the slums..."
