Chapter 206 - An Invitation (1/2)
After Qin Fen got the cash, he didn’t stay on the underground second floor. He took the elevator back to the lobby on the first floor and returned the numbered card to the front desk.
Lisa, who was at the service desk, was surprised to see Qin Fen. Normally, the person who came to return the number forty-four was a staff here.
Today, this unlucky number was actually returned by the participant instead?
Vincent followed Qin Fen in tandem. He was happy, but also slightly disappointed.
Qin Fen defeated two vicious boxers on the underground second floor. This earned him a handsome sum of bonuses. However, Vincent was disappointed because Qin Fen was still alive, and he had not even suffered any injuries. His desire to go after the woman that was with Qin Fen seemed futile.
Qin Fen walked out of the Gruesome Madness. He turned around to look at Vincent, stretched out his hand and said, “Hand it over.”
Vincent was so shocked that he trembled and took a step back.
He witnessed Qin Fen’s ferocious heart-piercing attack. Qin Fen was as terrifying as the devil at that moment.
Vincent asked with frightened and caution in his eyes, “Hand over what?”
“The bonus.” Qin Fen rubbed his fingers, “My accommodation fee is not that expensive. Return the surplus to me.”
Vincent’s expression changed immediately. It was so easy for him to earn the extra money yet he still wanted it back.
“Hand it over.”
Qin Fen repeated once more with a tone that became somewhat chilly, sending a shiver down Vincent’s spine.
Vincent saw that Qin Fen’s expression turned dark, and he handed over the bonus reluctantly.
Qin Fen looked at the cash in his hands, then he turned toward Lin Ling and softly said, “We can move to a better environment for accommodation now.”
When Vincent heard this, he felt nervous for a moment. This was also a business after all! Moreover, his chances of getting Lin Ling would vanish the moment he let go of Qin Fen like this.
In this place which had different kinds of people, chances are, Lin Ling would be noticed by someone else when she entered another hotel, and this person would steal her away.
“Don’t move out!” Vincent smiled radiantly, and said, “I have rooms with a good environment right here as well.”
“I need to live a little closer to that Gruesome Madness.” Qin Fen said without hesitation, “Your place is too far away.”
“I… I can provide a pick-up car…”
Vincent’s words attracted Qin Fen’s stare, which sent a shiver down his spine again. He had never met a youth with eyes that could look through everything.
Vincent felt like he couldn’t even gather the courage to lie in Qin Fen’s face. His appendages were twitching involuntarily.
Qin Fen stared at Vincent for quite some time. When he saw sweat dropping from Vincent’s forehead, he said flatly, “Nothing in this world is given for no good reason, especially with you being a businessman.”
“I…I…” Vincent felt that Qin Fen’s tiger-like vibe had dispersed. His mind relaxed a lot, and his brain started pondering on how to respond. He was afraid that if he gave a wrong answer, this newcomer of the Golden Triangle who knew nothing about the rules would murder people on the streets.
“I… actually… I like to watch Gruesome Madness, too.” Vincent’s hands behind his back constantly rubbed against one another, “If I were your agent, I can enter for free. The price of the ticket is too high… I’m reluctant to pay it…”
Vincent’s voice grew softer as he reached the end. He didn’t even have the courage to look at Qin Fen anymore. He wasn’t even sure if the lie he told could convince Qin Fen.
Qin Fen fell silent for a brief few seconds. He nodded slowly and said, “Okay, I’ll trust you once. If I find out that you’re lying to me, then…”
“I won’t! I definitely won’t!” Vincent smiled radiantly and waved his hands frantically, “How would I dare lie to you? Just trust me.”
“Okay, I’ll trust you once.” Qin Fen flicked his nail and said, “So, can you tell me where I can buy a gun and bullets?”
“You…” Vincent was slightly shocked. He assessed Qin Fen several times before he said, “You didn’t inquire about the situation here before you came?”
Qin Fen’s speech was as slow as the shaking of his head, “No, I was killing policemen and soldiers. There was no time to inquire about the situation. I only knew that I could hide from mishaps here.”
Vincent watched Qin Fen as he said, “was killing policemen and soldiers”. That calm expression sent another shiver down his spine.
Many fugitives of the government’s wanted list here in the Golden Triangle had killed policemen, but only a handful had killed soldiers. However, the fugitives who had killed policemen or soldiers would feel quite proud when they talk about these things.
Vincent had also seen such fugitives.
Vincent had never met a fugitive like Qin Fen, who had killed policemen and soldiers and talked about this matter in such a calm manner. It was as if he didn’t kill policemen and soldiers, but merely killed chicks.
“Do you know?” Qin Fen asked again, pulling Vincent back from his deep thoughts.
“Yes, I know.” Vincent nodded, “Over here is one of the concentration camps of the underworld, so there is no black market. Everything is displayed on counters. There are also various weapons stores along the street. As long as you have enough cash, it wouldn’t be difficult to even buy a Jungle Ranger.”
“Thank you.” Qin Fen held Lin Ling’s waist and turned around, “You go back. We know the way. We’ll go back later at night.”
“Okay, sure.”
Vincent unctuously fawned. A cold gaze flickered in his eyes as he sat back in the car.
He lit a cigarette and inhaled deeply. Two columns of smoke spewed out from his nostrils as he relaxed. He mumbled to himself, “If I want that chick, I must kill that man. It will be too dangerous to keep him. I feel like I’m facing a ferocious mutant beast when I face him.”
Qin Fen and Lin Ling were not in a hurry as they walked the streets of the Minnan Tower. Whether it was a two-dimensional map or a three-dimensional electronic projection map, it was better to observe the place in person.
The weapons store here was exactly as Vincent had said. Although it couldn’t be said that as long as you had the money, you could even buy space warships immediately. But if you wanted to buy more conventional weapons, then you could pay and receive the goods on the spot.
Qin Fen and Lin Ling walked into an arms shop.
A salesman who was holding his chin and senselessly hitting at flies with a flyswatter at the counter became energized immediately.
“Hello, you two. I’m the owner of this store. You can call me Zhe Wuyue.” This salesman had quite a thin figure. As he rubbed his hands back and forth, he emanated a feeling that felt like he was about to earn money from the innocent customers, “What would you like to order? Whether it is for flying in the sky, running on land, or swimming in the sea, it’s all available!”
“This is such a pretty lady. With two PPK in your hands, you’ll definitely make her shine. If you are after something more exquisite, my store offers carvings of dragons and phoenixes on the gun shell. When you carry it, it will make people…”
Qin Fen raised his hand and cut off the other party’s sale-promoting. He looked at the goods on the shelf, “Guns are for killing people.”
This thirty-year-old, thin-figured Zhe Wuyue was shocked when he looked at Qin Fen. This young-looking man, who looked like he was here to tour rather than to seek refuge, could speak such reasonable words.
“Speaking of that,” Zhe Wuyue took an M16 from the shelf, “This one…”
Qin Fen was too lazy to even take a look. He listed out the weaknesses of the gun without hesitation, “It’s too bulky and unsuitable to be carried around. It affects the speed of firing. The precision is too high. It won’t be easy to maintain…”
“This one…”
“The caliber is alright. The kinetic energy is too small…”
“This one…”
“The caliber is alright. The momentum is not bad. The special bullets are too expensive…”
“How much is this one?” Qin Fen picked up a G22, and kept pointing at the various ammunition parts, even a stack of files and pliers, “How much are all of these?”
Zhe Wuyue was surprised at the very beginning, but now he was now left speechless. Because of all his years of experience in selling guns, he would naturally know his customers’ choices. Those parts and tools were obviously necessary tools for modification. It seemed like this person intended to modify the gun into a weapon that sought solely on destructive power with extremely strong kinetic power.
As a store owner, Zhe Wuyue also served a lot of young masters who came here on holiday to seek excitement.
If the young master who claimed to be a firearms enthusiast was of an elementary school level, then this equally young customer before him was definitely of a master level.
“I also want this one, this one, and this one…” Lin Ling also chose a G22 large-caliber pistol, along with a stack of parts. As for the tools needed for modification, she even asked for more than what Qin Fen did.
Zhe Wuyue reassessed Lin Ling.* Even beautiful women were becoming gun experts as well?*
“Alright! I’m offering to give you both a twenty percent discount today.”
Zhe Wuyue wasn’t an amateur when it came to the guns business. He naturally knew the survival protocol of the Golden Triangle.
Natural selection. Survival of the fittest.
These words were the most appropriate description for the Golden Triangle.
In this place, there was no such Federation-like thing of “I rather have a good father than learn my mathematics and sciences well.”
A gifting relationship for a good future was never going to happen here.
Everyone who lived here was either an ordinary wolf, a legendary wolf, or a fox.
Only those who were truly capable could stand firm and rise in this place.
Judging from the items they both ordered, Zhe Wuyue quickly determined that these two would progress well in their future in the Golden Triangle.
If so, his investment as a businessman shouldn’t start small.
When Qin Fen paid for all the goods, Zhe Wujie handed over a business card hastily, and said, “You must visit my little store anytime in the future. If you need any information, I might be able to provide you both with some.”
Qin Fen kept his business card, and replied seriously, “Thank you.”
As soon as Zhe Wuyue sent Qin Fen off, he turned back toward his store and immediately found a middle-aged man in a camouflage uniform entering the store and asking, “What did those two just buy?”
