Main Volume Chapter 82 "Simple Folk Customs"
"Boss!"
"Who are you calling Chief?"
"I'm talking to you, Mr. Zi! You're blocking my way!"
"Fuck, there's such a wide road next to you, why don't you take it? You want to compete with me for the road? Get down here! I'll count to three! If you don't get out of here, I'll break your legs and throw you out of the city to feed the monsters!"
"Really? You're so good? I'll fight you then! Draw your sword! Boss! I'll kill you!"
"Fuck you, die!"
"Bang! Ping! Pong! Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
“…”
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yun and Lucina looked at each other, their little eyes filled with speechlessness.
Zhang Yun asked awkwardly, "Huh? Are the people in this place so 'simple and honest'? Fighting all the time? And for such a weird reason?"
Lucina sighed and said, "That's right. No one cares anyway. As long as you don't provoke powerful people, it doesn't matter even if you beat others to death."
Zhang Yun looked around and asked, "Will we be targeted?"
Lucina whispered, "Keep a low profile, don't talk to others, don't squeeze in with others, don't look at others, they won't care about us, who are insignificant..."
Before he could finish his words, two "non-mainstream men" who were as strong as bears, eight feet tall, with half of their hair long and half shaved, walked up to the two of them and looked down at them.
Zhang Yun: “.”
Lucina: “…”
On the contrary, Brother Zun on the side was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist with his right hand. As soon as the momentum was not right, he would immediately use "Swift Wind and Rain of Swords" to hit the faces of the two big men.
Seeing this, Zhang Yun secretly winked at Brother Zun, telling him not to be impulsive and not to cause trouble.
Then Zhang Yun raised his head, looked at the two burly men, and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you two?"
One of the big men said in a hostile tone: "We are from the Dead End Gang... New here, pay the money, or come with us and we will teach you the rules!"
newcomer?
These people are so accurate!
Could he be a professional toll collector?
Zhang Yun glanced at Lucina, who shook her head slightly. She then took out a gold coin and threw it into the big man's hand.
"One gold coin is considered as a toll. You can keep it. Should it be enough?"
Then, Zhang Yun took out another gold coin and threw it into the hand of another big man: "Another gold coin, as a gift to you, the Death Bureau Gang. Please say hello to your boss on my behalf."
After hearing Zhang Yun's words, the two non-mainstream guys looked at each other strangely, their eyes full of the meaning of "this guy is an idiot".
Zhang Yun couldn't help but sneer.
You little bastard, you look like a human but have little knowledge. Haven't you seen the power of capitalism?
Now I’ll let you see it!
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun took out the third gold coin, threw it to the two people and said, "For the third gold coin, I would like you to help us open the way and take us to the hotel in this city."
Then Zhang Yun threw out the fourth gold coin: "The fourth coin is for me to treat you two brothers to dinner. Let's have a good meal tonight."
Finally, Zhang Yun said, "If you can take us to the hotel called 'Arum' in this city, and if there are no other strangers to disturb us, I will send someone to give you a generous gift to the Death Bureau Gang."
He looked at the two of them calmly: "What do you think?"
At this moment, the expressions on the two men's faces were like they had eaten a durian, from ridicule to shock, from shock to envy, and finally from envy to bootlicking.
Damn it!
So rich!
And so generous!
There was also a lot of indifference in his words!
This kind of person must be a super second generation with powerful people behind him!
As old thugs who have been collecting tolls for many years, the two big men know very well who is easy to mess with and who is not. They can tell who is easy to mess with and who is not by just taking a few glances.
If you can't tell the difference, you will either offend the big boss and be killed by him and fed to the monsters, or you will offend the big boss and be killed by your own boss and fed to the monsters. It is absolutely impossible for you to stand here and continue to do such a lucrative job.
So, one of the big men lowered his head and asked in a deep voice: "May I ask who you are, Excellency?"
Zhang Yun glanced at Lucina and winked slightly, asking the knowledgeable Lucina to answer the big man, so as to avoid making up an identity and being discovered by the other party, which would be embarrassing.
The two big men imagined this action: See, these two bastards want to know who I am. Tell them, let them know my identity, and broaden the horizons of these uneducated minions.
"Guests from afar, find acquaintances, have a meal, don't stay longer, spend money to buy time, or don't spend money, just have one more meal."
Because Lucina had been to this kind of place before and had a good understanding of the situation of those people, she spoke using the most commonly used jargon by the underground forces.
The general meaning is: We came from outside, and there is a big guy in this area who is our acquaintance. We came to him specifically to do something and will not stay here long. The money we spent just now was just to avoid trouble and save more time.
But if someone doesn't give us the opportunity to spend money, then we will have to spend more time to deal with that group of people. Anyway, we all know the situation in this area...
After hearing Lucina's words, the two big men were stunned. Then their attitude became more respectful, completely losing their previous arrogance. It seemed that they were very much influenced by Lucina's tricks.
Seeing this, Zhang Yun couldn't help but sigh, she is indeed a well-read female intellectual, her level is different, she can scare two burly men into submission with just one sentence.
How is that like myself?
I threw out a few dollars, which only made the other party behave a little better. Although these dollars were nothing, just a small thing, I still felt that I was at a disadvantage...
Zhang Yun also had a new idea. In the future, we don't have to rack our brains to think of excuses. We can just hand it over to Lucina and let her, the "encyclopedia", solve it. The effect is obvious, the speed is fast, and trouble can be avoided easily...
Afterwards, the two "enlightened" men decisively stopped collecting tolls and instead took Zhang Yun and Lucina to the "Arum" hotel they had chosen.
Protected by these two high-ranking underlings of the Dead End Gang, this group of "simple-minded" people tactfully made way. There were no "scammers" looking for trouble, and no "cultured people" who disliked Zhang Yun and started to curse at her.
Wow!
This “Dead End Gang” is quite powerful?
How could I make these violent old guys who were fighting each other in the street behave themselves and not bother me at all?
It seems that we should make better use of this organization to reduce trouble until we are away from this crowded area...
As Zhang Yun was thinking, a red danger sign suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and a group of masked men in black jumped out from the second floors of the houses around the street.
They held longbows, aimed at Zhang Yun and others, pulled the bowstrings without hesitation, and shot out sharp arrows that cut through the air.
