Volume 1 Clone Army Chapter 83 Everything is ready
The bar in the Night Rose Mercenary Group base was converted from a production workshop in this abandoned factory. There are two floors in total, the first floor is the lobby, and the second floor is the private room.
Li Jiu did not return to the dormitory . After coming out of the shooting range, he went straight to the base bar with his gun.
After pushing open the door of the bar and entering, Li Jiu took a look at the situation inside.
At this time, the bar seemed a bit deserted, with few people around.
At the same time, because of this, as soon as he entered, he saw Scar Brother sitting at the bar, drinking alone. This guy had good arms and legs, and it seemed that he was not seriously injured during the mission, which eliminated the last bit of worry in Li Jiu's heart.
After finding Scar Brother, Li Jiu smiled slightly and walked over.
"Brother, give me a bottle of beer." Li Jiu came to Scar Brother, sat on a stool, and said to a mercenary waiter in military uniform at the bar.
"Okay." The waiter at the bar nodded and handed Li Jiu a bottle of beer.
"Huh? Brother Li Jiu, you're here so soon?" Hearing Li Jiu's voice, Scar Brother turned around, looked a little surprised, and said to Li Jiu with a smile.
"Well, come on, let's go first." Li Jiu raised the bottle of wine and clinked glasses with Scar Brother.
"Okay, come on." Scar Brother also picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Li Jiu.
After drinking, Scar Brother asked Li Jiu curiously, "Brother, you asked me to come here today, not just for drinks?"
"Haha, that's right, brother, I have something to ask of you today." Li Jiu said with a smile, and at the same time took out a brand new pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
He bought this on the way here, and it cost him one hundred dollars. He was here to do something for someone, so he naturally had to prepare a pack of good cigarettes, and the ones he used to smoke, which cost ten yuan a pack, were really not good enough.
Li Jiu tore open the cigarette box, took out two cigarettes, handed one to Scar, and kept one for himself.
"Snap!" Li Jiu consciously took out his lighter and lit the cigarette for Scar Brother, then lit the cigarette in his own hand.
After seeing Li Jiu's actions, Scar Brother couldn't help but feel a little scared, knowing that Li Jiu probably didn't come to the temple for no reason...
But...isn't this exactly what he wants? This is a great opportunity to make friends with Li Jiu!
"Inhale... expiring..." Scar Brother took a puff of his cigarette, frowned slightly, and said to Li Jiu in a disapproving manner: "Brother, you are being a little too polite. If there is anything you can do with my scar, just tell me directly."
"Inhale...exhale..." Li Jiu also took a puff, then smiled and shook his head, saying: "Brother Scar, I do have something to ask of you today. I wonder if you have time tomorrow? I want to invite you to participate in a gambling battle."
"Bet fight?" Scar Brother was a little surprised. Obviously he didn't expect that this was what Li Jiu was going to talk about.
"I have time tomorrow. I just finished the mission, so it's a good time to rest for a few days." Scar Brother said while smoking a cigarette, with a thoughtful look between his brows.
"It's okay to join the gambling battle... But, Brother Li Jiu, can I ask first who the other party is?" Scar Brother hesitated for a moment and asked hesitantly.
Scar Brother is a soldier who is actually a guy who will not do anything without profit. Although he wants to make friends with Li Jiu, he does not want to offend some people who should not be offended in order to make friends with Li Jiu.
The moment he heard Li Jiu ask him to go to a gambling match, he guessed that Li Jiu might have offended someone, and that this person might be difficult to deal with. So, he had to consider whether he should offend the other person in order to make friends with Li Jiu.
If Li Jiu provoked someone from outside, Scar Brother would definitely agree to take action without hesitation. But if Li Jiu provoked someone from the Night Rose Mercenary Group, he would have to think about it... After all, he planned to stay in the Night Rose Mercenary Group for a long time in the future, and he didn't want to really provoke the tough guys in the group.
"The other party is Captain William, the young leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group. If the bet is won, each participant will get 200,000 Alliance coins." Although Li Jiu saw Scar Brother's hesitation, he still said without hesitation. After all, he came to ask for help, so he couldn't do anything that would cheat him. It was better to make things clear in advance.
"This is what happened..." Then, Li Jiu was about to explain the cause and effect of the whole incident.
However, what he didn't expect was that Scar Brother became excited as soon as he opened his mouth.
" Blood Wolf Mercenaries? Captain William!" Scar Brother frowned, anger burning in his eyes, and his hand gripping the cup got tighter and tighter.
"Snap!" There was a crisp sound, and the wine glass was broken into pieces by Scar Brother.
"Brother, you don't need to say more. It doesn't matter whether I have money or not. If you need me, I will definitely go to this gambling battle!" Scar Brother said firmly, holding the broken glass tightly in his palm, bleeding, but he didn't feel the pain at all.
Li Jiu was very surprised to see Scar's strong reaction. It seemed that this guy had some grudge against William, and it seemed to be quite serious...
But isn't this just perfect?
"Well, okay, if you are sure you want to go, let's meet at the base gate at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning." Li Jiu just nodded and said, tactfully without asking any more questions. After all, Li Jiu was not a gossiper and had no interest in prying into other people's private affairs. If Scar Brother wanted to talk, he would naturally take the initiative to tell him what the feud between him and Captain William was. If the other party didn't want to talk, it would be a bit bad to ask him.
"Don't worry, we'll see you at the gate of the base at 8 o'clock tomorrow!" Scar Brother nodded heavily, and it seemed that he was very determined.
Afterwards, Li Jiu chatted with Scar Brother for a while, then took the initiative to pay for Scar Brother's drinks and left first...
Scar Brother ordered another glass of wine and drank it silently, his face looking a little pale.
"Captain William? Humph! I finally have the chance to vent my brothers' anger..." Scar Brother's eyes flashed with cruelty, and the winding scar on his face twitched like an earthworm.
Speaking of which, the conflict between Scar and Captain William was coincidentally similar to that of Li Jiu, both of which occurred in the War Bar due to some issues. At that time, several of Scar's men were beaten by the Blood Wolf Mercenaries, led by Captain William. However, Scar hesitated for a moment, considering the other party's identity and background, and chose to swallow his anger and left the War Bar in humiliation...
This incident has always been a pain in Scar Brother's heart. Because, although he is a vicious soldier, as the leader of a group of soldiers, he feels that he has the responsibility to be responsible for his brothers, but in that incident, he feels that he has let his brothers down.
Therefore, if there is a chance for him to vent his brothers' anger, he will definitely not hesitate.
Although the gambling battle was only conducted in a virtual battlefield, Scar Brother knew that winning or losing the gambling battle was related to real-life interests. If he could help Li Jiu defeat Captain William and make that bastard lose some of his bets, it would be a form of revenge.
…
On the other hand, after leaving the base bar, Li Jiu returned to the shooting range again.
When he had used up all the bullets he had brought with him, it was almost noon, so he went straight to the cafeteria, had a meal, and finally returned to the dormitory.
"Inhale...exhale..." After Li Jiu returned to the dormitory, he first took a hot bath, then lay on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and smoked it comfortably.
Taking advantage of this period of rest, Li Jiu's thoughts began to turn.
Now, all the people who were participating in the gambling battle had gathered, and they were just waiting to fight with that scum William tomorrow. He had to think about whether there was anything he had missed.
"Hmm?" After thinking for a moment, Li Jiu's eyelids suddenly twitched and he frowned.
The players who were involved in the gambling battle found their own team, but how were they going to get there tomorrow? As the initiator, I couldn't just let everyone walk to the arbitration office, right?
Although Li Jiu didn't know the exact location of the arbitration office, he thought it shouldn't be too close to the Night Rose Mercenary Group... After all, the base of the Night Rose Mercenary Group was in the wilderness, and the arbitration office was unlikely to be built in such a desolate place...
So, Li Jiu opened the God of War system and sent a message to Kaqi.
"Captain, can you help me find a car? I need it to go to the arbitration office tomorrow."
"Don't worry, I have prepared the car for you. But have you found the other two people?" Kaqi replied after a moment.
Seeing Kaqi's reply, Li Jiu couldn't help but feel touched. He thought that the captain was really considerate and thoughtful...
"Thank you, Captain. I have already found the other two people, they are Bacchus and Scar Brother." Li Jiu replied.
Ka Qi was a little surprised when she saw the other two names. She didn't expect that Li Jiu would find these two people. Especially the fact that Li Jiu could invite Scar Brother made Ka Qi very confused. She knew that Li Jiu had a conflict with Scar Brother before, so why would the other party be willing to come to help him...
However, she was very satisfied with the two people Li Jiu found because Kaqi knew that both Bakus and Scar Brother were very powerful mercenaries.
"That's good. If there's nothing else, let's leave it at that for now. See you tomorrow morning." Kaqi replied.
"Well, OK." Li Jiu replied with a smile and stopped communicating with Kaqi.
…
Next, after resting for a while, Li Jiu lay down on the sofa and started practicing.
Now that I have obtained a precious method to improve my superpowers, I must seize the time to practice in order to improve my superpowers as soon as possible. After all , the higher the superpower level, the greater the benefits it can bring to me.
The gambling battle will start tomorrow, and he doesn't have anything urgent to deal with right now, so he plans to take a good rest, adjust his condition, and strive to be in the best condition tomorrow to completely crush William, the scumbag...
