Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 260 Bar (asking for double monthly tickets at the end of the month)

In the evening, the idle "Old Tune Group" decided to go to Tarnan's bar.

On the one hand, this is to see if I can get some information, and on the other hand, I don’t want to eat the canned food, biscuits and energy bars that I brought with me.

As long as the bar has normal food, they are willing to pay a premium. Anyway, so many of the latest portable computers in the car are almost free, which is equivalent to exchanging a small amount of ammunition.

And if they can't even get a bar, they can still choose other flavors of cans, biscuits and energy bars. In short, they are tired of eating now.

There are two bars in Tarnan. The doors are diagonally opposite each other and very close to each other. Shang Jianyao stood between them. After looking left and right, he asked Long Yuehong:

"Which one to choose?"

Although Long Yuehong had passed by this place several times, she had never observed it carefully. Hearing this, she scanned back and forth between the two signboards "Wild Pigeon" and "Green Grape":

"Go to Green Grape. It feels very fresh."

"Okay, let's go to 'Wild Pigeon'!" Shang Jianyao said with relief.

"You're bullying Xiaohong again!" Jiang Baimian laughed and cursed.

Just when Long Yuehong felt deeply comforted, she said "hmm":

"I choose 'Wild Pigeon'. This name makes me very appetizing."

When they went out for training for the first time, the "Old Tune Team" not only caught rabbits, but also shot birds and roasted them.

When Long Yuehong heard Jiang Baimian's words, she immediately recalled her original experience and her saliva suddenly secreted:

"good."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Shang Jianyao muttering:

"Bullying requires a certain method..."

Before Shang Jian Yao finished speaking, Jiang Baimian put his left hand on his shoulder and said with a smile:

"go in."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao followed Shan Ruliu.

Long Yuehong followed the team speechlessly.

The door of the "Wild Pigeon" bar has two layers, one is open, and the other is only in the middle, open, brown, and made of pure wood.

After breaking through the half-unlocked door, the scene inside caught Jiang Baimian's eyes:

In the middle is the dance floor, surrounded by round tables and chairs. At this time, there is no music playing, and many people are sitting around, playing cards, dice and mahjong;

Crossing the dance floor and walking towards the bar, you will see entertainment facilities such as billiards tables and table tennis tables on the left and right sides.

As a bar, "Wild Pigeon" is pretty complete except that it doesn't have much alcohol.

"It's exactly what Xiaobai said, this is more like an 'activity center'." Jiang Baimian looked around and said with a smile.

Shang Jianyao immediately hummed a song:

"you are mine……"

"Stop it!" Jiang Baimian stopped him, "First find someone to ask if the team of ruin hunters has returned."

This refers to the team that went into the mountain to investigate the situation of the "Higher Heartless".

Without waiting for Jiang Baimian's arrangement, Shang Jianyao walked directly to a table of people playing cards.

He patted a young man who had shaved both sides of his hair and asked familiarly:

"How was it? Did you win?"

The young man turned his head and saw that it was an unfamiliar face, but the other person acted very enthusiastic and looked familiar to everyone, which made him a little confused as to whether he had seen it before.

Because the question was insensitive, he answered casually:

"Forget it, I will lose all the gains from previous explorations."

"Come on." Shang Jianyao thought for a moment, twitched his body, and performed a scalding dance, "May the breath of the gods bathe you."

There are many followers of Tarnan's "Melting Pot Sect", and those who play cards are not surprised by this.

Shang Jian Yao asked again casually:

"Have those hunters who entered the mountain come back?"

"No." The young man playing cards shook his head, "I guess something will happen to them."

After getting the answer, Shang Jianyao nodded and read the cards for another minute or two before slowly walking back to Jiang Baimian and the others.

At this time, at the card table, one of the gamblers asked about the young man who was tapped on the shoulder by Shang Jianyao:

"Shahua, who is he? Why don't I recognize him?"

The young man named Shahua thought back for a few seconds and said:

"I don't know him either..."

"Aren't you familiar with him?" The other gamblers were surprised.

Just now, the two of them were like sworn brothers who had already worshiped each other.

Shahua was confused and doubted his memory again.

However, given the current situation, they quickly put the matter behind them.

As he walked across the dance floor and towards the bar, Jiang Baimian glanced at him and suddenly asked Long Yuehong:

"Do those people know you?

"Why do you look like you want to skin and rip you apart?"

Long Yuehong followed Jiang Baimian's instructions and found three men at a card table looking at her with resentment and hatred.

"Uh, didn't I mention it? I beat up a few locals who blackmailed me." This was the result of Long Yuehong's first solo action, so he still remembered it fresh.

"They don't look convinced." Shang Jianyao said something sarcastic.

He had a "quick, hit me again" look.

"It's normal to be unconvinced. You didn't come up to mess with me anyway." Long Yuehong has always been a good gentleman.

Shang Jianyao immediately found out the reason:

"They are looking at you and staring at you!"

While the two were chatting and joking, the three people who had been beaten thought that there were many neighbors here, and there were many poker players, so they wanted to take the opportunity to recover the situation, but they took a look at Shang Jianyao's height, appearance and his daughter. Later, I gave up the idea of this aspect.

From this look, he is not someone to be trifled with.

At this time, Jiang Baimian and the others had walked to the bar and saw the bartender in a bored daze.

There wasn't much wine or people drinking, which meant he didn't have to do much.

"Where's your boss?" Jiang Baimian knocked on the bar table.

The bartender looked up at her, his expression instantly vivid:

"I am.

"Think about it, who would hire a guy who has nothing to do?"

He is in his thirties, wearing a dark blue thick cotton coat, his hair is combed into a 37-part length on the left side, and there are traces of weather damage on his face.

"What's your name?" Shang Jianyao asked politely instead of Jiang Baimian.

"Just call me Ayi, Cai Yi." The bar owner said with a smile, "What do you want?"

"Are there any normal meals?" Jiang Baimian did not hide his needs.

Cai Yi shook his head:

"I hired two people to farm, one raised chickens, and the other raised pigs. It was just enough to feed the whole family. How could there be any extra?"

Having said this, he smiled:

“Are you ruin hunters?

"I have regular fighting competitions here. Whoever wins the championship will receive a sumptuous dinner as a bonus, in addition to the rewards they deserve. Just a normal meal."

Shang Jianyao got ahead of Jiang Baimian, shook his head and said:

"This is too much trouble. I have an easier way."

"What can I do?" Cai Yi was a little curious.

Shang Jianyao said with a sunny smile:

"Kidnap you and ask your family to redeem you with a bag of flour, a bag of rice, a pig, four chickens, and baskets of cabbage."

Cai Yiben touched his waist, then smiled and said:

"There are two problems with this idea. One is whether you can defeat the robot guards, and the other is whether you can catch me."

He took advantage of this to brag:

"I think back then, I was also an 'intermediate hunter'. If I hadn't married a local girl, used my savings to open this bar, and brought together entertainment from all over the world, I might have become a 'senior hunter'.

"What level are you at?"

"Formal." Jiang Baimian was not embarrassed at all.

After hearing this, Cai Yi did not continue the topic and asked instead:

"What do you want to eat? What do you want to play?"

Shang Jianyao took out a portable computer from his tactical backpack and said with a sad face:

"Just look at the arrangements."

Jiang Baimian quickly added:

“It’s best to have rarer flavors, and the excess will be taken away.

"We play pool."

Cai Yi took the portable computer, smiled and said:

"You have quite a way to go.

"No problem, I don't have much here, just a lot of canned food."

After completing the transaction, Long Yuehong asked curiously:

"Where do you raise livestock? I didn't even see it."

Cai Yi smiled:

"In those houses in the no-man's land, everyone has his own. Anyway, the least valuable thing in Tarnan is the house."

No man's land refers to that part of the city where no one lives.

Long Yuehong felt a sigh of relief when she thought about how hard she had to rack her brains and pay the extra price for a better life for her family inside "Pangu Creatures".

Just as the "Old Tune Team" was walking towards the billiards area, Cai Yi suddenly stood up and looked at the door of the bar with a solemn look.

A huge group of people came in, fourteen of them in total. The leader was wearing blond hair and a helmet with horns.

This is the "Mountain Fox" bandit group.

Cai Yi came forward and said with a smile:

"Hey, haven't you left yet?"

Although he was in Tarnan, he was not worried about being robbed by the "Mountain Fox" bandits, but such a large group of people was enough to cause a scene in the bar within the regulations, so he still had to be cautious.

Strength in numbers is always intimidating.

Panania, the leader of the "Mountain Fox" bandit group, smiled and said:

"We need to let the brothers vent their anger first."

His eyes immediately moved to the stairs of the bar, where there were several sets of old sofas with many women of different races sitting there.

Places like bars are often associated with similar businesses.

"No problem. If you pay, you are a customer." Cai Yi said with a smile.

Pannaniya was about to take the lead to go over and select, when one of his subordinates suddenly pulled his clothes.

"Boss, over there..." The subordinate's tone was extremely solemn.

After hearing this, Pannaniya looked around and saw the beautiful woman, the tall young man, the strong man who beat his bandit group to the point of collapse, and their inconspicuous companion. .

At this time, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao were all looking at this side with smiles.

The corner of Pannaniya's mouth twitched, and he turned to Cai Yi and said:

"My stomach suddenly feels uncomfortable. Let's talk about it next time."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and prepared to lead the robbers to the bar opposite.

At this moment, from the corner of his eye, he saw Shang Jianyao still looking at him and others intently.

Phew, Pannaniya breathed out and waved his right hand:

"goodbye."

"Goodbye." Shang Jianyao responded with satisfaction.

Their interaction made the bar owner Cai Yi stunned.

Seeing the "Mountain Fox" bandit group approaching the gate, a strong wind suddenly blew outside.

The wind made a whining sound, which made people feel a little uneasy.

Will there be such strong wind on this side of the mountain? Jiang Baimian frowned in confusion.
