Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

A short period of time passed after that, but Zhang Daye's life did not change much.

I exercised every day, drew draws, and opened a shop. I received a lot of tables, chairs, and benches from Tom's family, and pots and pans from Emiya's family.

Now he can hold a sword in a decent manner. He has learned through actual combat (being beaten) and has made significant progress.

Since the price increase in the tavern, the number of guests has not decreased much, and the eight wine tables are still always occupied as before.

Although the sales volume of wine has dropped slightly, the money earned has increased.

In the past few days, people occasionally came to ask Tom about the price, but Zhang Daye rejected them one by one.

Some, like Bisnis, politely said nothing more.

Of course, some people dropped their cups on the spot, and when they were about to say harsh words, they were beaten up by Zhang Daye.

That's right, it was Zhang Daye who did it. The beatings he received for so many days were not in vain. It's not a big problem to deal with one or two gangsters.

In the process of sparring with Artoria, Zhang Da also found that his adaptability had improved a lot, and he was able to calmly think about how to defuse attacks and counterattack when encountering enemy attacks.

Especially when using plug-ins, his fighting style suddenly became abnormal.

For example, if an enemy punches him, Zhang Da can quickly take out a pan from his inventory and hold it in front of his face, and he can take advantage of the enemy's hand pain to slap the pan on the opponent's face.

Another example is now:

"Hey, kid, let alone the few glasses of bad wine you drank, I never asked the price when I ate at restaurants in illegal areas!" A fat man said viciously, reaching out to give Zhang Daye a big-eared melon seed.

What answered him was a folding stool, which hit his fat face hard. The force hit him so hard that he screamed and fell to the ground.

The fat man cursed and tried to get up, but Zhang Da also jumped out from behind the bar, stepped on his belly, raised the stool and smashed it:

"Bad wine, isn't it?"

"You don't want to ask about the price, do you?"

"You want to hit me, right?"

He continued to hit him more than a dozen times, until he didn't dare to speak back or resist, and then he stopped.

I have to say that people in this world are really physically strong. After such a meal, I only had a few bruises on my face, a big swelling on my head, two lines of nosebleeds, and not even a single tooth was lost.

Moreover, the quality of Tom's folding stool is really good, and it is very easy to use.

Zhang Daye was not worried about scaring the other guests at all, because the group of people were enjoying themselves watching the fun. Even though they were all laughing while drinking, the fights were much more vicious than Zhang Daye's. There were quite a few of them.

Some people have faced pirates directly, such as the tavern owner beating up the guests who were eating the King's meal. It was a small scene that was just right for drinking.

"Are you rich or not?" Zhang Da also felt that the way he stepped on people to ask for money must look like a villain.

"Yes, yes!" The fat man thought that he was a reasonable person, and now the little boss was willing to reason with him. He hurriedly took out his wallet.

"So why do you guys always want to eat and drink for free even though you are rich?" Zhang Da also counted out a few banknotes, and those who caused trouble would be beaten three times as much to earn some extra money.

After collecting the banknotes, Zhang Da also picked up the folding stool again and prepared to put it away. This thing was so useful that he didn't want to throw it away.

However, because the fat man heard his question, he obviously misunderstood his actions and thought he was going to fight. He quickly covered his head: "I said it! I said it all!"

Zhang Da was also startled. Is there any unexpected gain?

He put down the folding stool, helped the fat man up, helped him straighten his collar, patted the dirt on his body, and said with a kind smile: "Come on, speak slowly, don't be in a hurry, do you want something to drink?"

"No, no, no!" The fat man was frightened. His smile was even scarier than when he was beaten!

"Actually, I just took other people's money to come here to cause trouble." The fat man glanced at the folding stool next to him and told all the causes and consequences.

"That day I was picking watermelons at the fruit stall, and suddenly a man asked me to follow him and said he wanted to discuss business with me. He was about this tall, wearing a hat, sunglasses and a mask, covering his face tightly. At first glance, he looked...

He is not a good person, so I followed him..."

"Wait a minute... Why are you following me if you don't look like a good person?" Zhang Da also couldn't figure out the cause-and-effect relationship for a while.

The fat man was a little embarrassed, with a blush on his face: "Brother, look at what you said, I'm not a good person..."

You're blushing like crazy! But that's right. Just because the person who's looking for him is not a good person, it's good for him to get it: "Go on."

"Then he gave me a sum of money and asked me to come here to make trouble. He said that this tavern had robbed his business, and he asked me to make trouble as violent as possible."

Is there so much hatred among colleagues? Zhang Daye continued to ask: "Aren't you afraid of provoking ruthless people?"

The fat man sneered: "I asked around, little brother, you haven't been here long, you only know a few boatmen and have no influence, and... and he gave too much..."

"Oh~ I gave you too much~" Zhang Daye's smile became more and more kind, "Then do you know who he is?"

"I can't tell. It should be some big bars or restaurants on the nearby islands. Ordinary small restaurants are reluctant to spend so much money to find me, a small gangster."

"Very good, I forgive you." Seeing the joy on the fat man's face, Zhang Daye shouted, "Tom, it's time to work!"

Tom swooped over, took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, saluted Zhang Daye, dragged the fat man to the door by his collar, and kicked him away in the expectant eyes of the tavern guests.

The waist door of the tavern opened and closed, the fat man's screams could be heard outside, and the clinking of glasses by the guests could be heard inside.

Tom took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then handed the stack of banknotes he just took out to Zhang Daye.

"Oh, you are so willing to spend money." Zhang Daye beamed, touched Tom's head and shouted to the guests, "I made some extra money today, so I'll give you a 9.99% off!"

"Huh..." The guests praised Zhang Daye for his kindness.

Regardless of the drunkards, Zhang Da also returned behind the bar: "I thought he was plotting something against Tom, but I didn't expect it was malicious competition among colleagues. But with the size of our tavern here, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?"

?”

Artoria asked: "If it is competition among peers, will there be many such things in the future?"

Zhang Da also thought for a while: "Well... I feel that even if there is no competition among peers, there will be many troublemakers. There is no need to be afraid, it is just annoying."

Zhang Da also touched the wad of banknotes in his pocket, as if... he wasn't too annoyed?

"Anyway, let's have extra dinner tonight!"

Not only can he get extra meals, but as long as five or six more people like this come, he can pay off his debt to old Bob.

Come on, fellow taverns!
