Chapter 27
Fang Shao glanced at Stark and smiled noncommittally, "Dear Mr. Stark, how are you going to treat us?"
Stark certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to try to pay with his own card, he took out a ring with a smile and put it on the bar, then pointed to Tu Su's card. "Use this, the money will be charged to this little brother's card." The huge gem on the ring shone brightly, more dazzling than the one he traded at first.
Stark had a good idea, but Baili Tusu was puzzled by the sudden enthusiasm of this strange foreigner. Although he was not disgusted or wary, he directly rejected him.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but this wine is too expensive. Tu Su cannot afford such a generous gift. Please just drink it yourself."
"What?! Why?!"
"Haha." Seeing Stark's frustrated expression, Fang Shao couldn't help but laugh.
Mr. Zhu smiled and explained to the new guests why Stark did this, but Tu Su still shook his head and refused. Since each person was limited to one bottle, he couldn't give up his quota at will.
"Each customer is limited to buying one bottle? With a price of 1 million per bottle, it can still make people obsessed with it. It really makes me curious." Yin Qianshang muttered, touching his chin.
Peter, who didn't understand what was going on, came over immediately and happily took out his card. "Mr. Stark, you can use my name."
Stark said nothing.
Fang Shao glanced at the silly boy and said, "Do you think your Mr. Stark has never thought about taking your place?"
"ah?!"
Fang Shao pushed back the card Peter handed over and said word by word, "Underagers are prohibited from drinking!"
How can I buy alcohol if I can’t even drink it?
"Ah..." Peter then remembered that he was a high school student and took the card back with a red face.
Yin Qianshang's eyes lit up, "Then Mr. Fang, am I considered a customer? Am I eligible to buy a bottle?"
Fang Shao raised his eyes and glanced at the shabby man. Stark and Zhu Lao also fell silent, waiting for Fang Shao's answer. The atmosphere in the bar was a little tense.
"Sure." Fang Shao broke the silence, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Just give me the money."
Yin Qianshang turned around and winked at Stark, "Brother, I hope your treat still counts."
"You..." Xiang Ling widened her eyes and after thinking for a long time, she finally uttered the unoriginal word "shameless".
Tu Su's reaction was not as strong as Xiang Ling's. He did not consider Yin Qianshang as a companion yet, so he naturally did not care about his behavior. Feng Qingxue was not worldly-wise and watched everyone's reactions with curiosity.
"Of course it counts!" Stark excitedly put his arm around Yin Qianshang's broad shoulders, tapped the ring with his other hand, and urged Fang Shao in a loud voice. "Quick! Quick! Quick!"
Fang Shao nonchalantly picked up the card machine again.
“Beep!”
[This is a beautiful diamond ring, estimated at 20,000 yuan, would you like to trade it? ]
What, 20,000?
Stark unconfidently counted the zeros after the number 2 again.
1, 2, 3, 4.
He immediately jumped up in surprise, "Why is it only 20,000 yuan? The last coin was estimated to be 5 million!"
Fang Shao waved his hands, "I didn't come up with this number. The evaluation system has its own set of criteria."
Stark couldn't accept this explanation. First, his idea of saving the country in a roundabout way was shattered, and second, it was hard for him to accept the opinions of the public. Look, this person said he would treat everyone, but the things he brought out were only worth this little. Tony Stark couldn't afford to lose face like this!
Fang Shao looked at Yin Qianshang. "How about this guest, please tell me how much you think this ring is worth?"
Yin Qianshang rubbed his face in embarrassment, but Stark immediately looked at him with burning eyes. So he could only speak, "Well, if it is an ordinary ring without any special use, the price of 20,000 should be about the same. After all, the accessory with the ability of meditation that my benefactor gave me just now was only valued at 50,000 yuan."
"An ordinary ring... a calming ability..." Stark calmed down. He immediately thought of the key point, "Different worlds have different rules and different pricing standards for things."
“The bar is evaluated based on the standards of the world its guests live in,” Zhu continued.
"So, is this deal still going to go ahead?" Fang Shao asked with a smile.
After finding out that Fang Shao was not playing tricks, Stark was disappointed that he could not get what he wanted, but he still waved his hand generously. "Of course, deal."
"Thank you." Yin Qianshang laughed and clicked confirm, and a new card fell into his hands.
"Now I have money to drink. Boss Fang, this champagne is unlimited, please give me a few more bottles. My brother said, it's a holiday, it's fun, I'll treat you!"
"Yes, I'm happy to treat you!" Stark gave an unsuccessful smile.
"Dave, bring five bottles of champagne and glasses!"
Excluding the underage Spider-Man and the little vixen, the rest of the guests each had a bottle.
Yin Qianshang casually stuffed the deducted card into his lapel, then looked intently at the clear champagne in his hand, "This must be wine from the Western Regions, right?"
The wine expert sniffed the aroma first, then drank the wine in one gulp. "This wine tastes good, but it's a little too light. It's not satisfying, not satisfying." He shook his head.
Feng Qingxue took a sip of the wine tentatively. The champagne tasted light and had a hint of fruit. This was her first time drinking, so she neither rejected nor disliked the taste. When Xiang Ling saw her drinking, she immediately covered her nose and moved away, moving closer to her brother Tu Su. But although Tu Su did not drink, he left the champagne to the fat eagle A Xiang and walked to Fang Shao alone.
"Boss Fang, I wonder if the time you mentioned before has come for this meeting?"
Fang Shao shook his head.
Tu Su looked slightly disappointed. "Do you have any instructions for Tu Su this time?"
Fang Shao looked at the companions he brought this time. The protagonist group was still missing the beauty Hongyu and Fang Lansheng, and the big boss was not in the team, so he asked, "Where are you from this time?"
Yin Qianshang pretended to taste the wine, but in fact he had been paying attention to Tu Su's actions. When he heard Fang Shao ask this question, he felt a chill in his heart and secretly paid more attention.
Tu Su naturally told the truth.
"The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor..." Fang Shao recalled the plot of the game. "It's okay. This time we rescued people safely. Just do what you want to do. I don't have anything to tell you. But you can help me pass on a message to Elder Danzhi."
"Mr. Ouyang? He is here too?" Baili Tu Su looked surprised.
"Yes." Fang Shao nodded. This should be the time when all the important characters appear most completely in the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, except for the finale.
"May I ask what you are talking about?"
Fang Shao pondered for a moment. "Just this sentence. 'If you do things too much, your fate will end early.' If he can understand, then maybe there will be a chance to turn around what he wants in the future."
"What Mr. Ouyang wants..." Tu Su silently took note of this sentence and thanked Fang Shao. "This time we still need to rescue people from the evil people in Qingyutan. Tu Su cannot stay any longer, so I will take my leave."
"Take care, young hero."
"Boss Fang, take care."
Tu Su turned and left, and Feng Qingxue and Xiang Ling followed immediately. Ah Xiang, who was a little drunk, also followed with a whimper. This startled Stark, who was sitting beside him drinking in a depressed mood.
"Isn't that a fat chicken? How can it fly?!"
Feng Qianshang laughed and patted Stark on the shoulder. "Thanks for the wine, brother!" He poured the remaining wine into the jug, shook the half-full jug, and strode out of the bar.
As soon as they walked out the door, the four heard two familiar voices coming from not far away.
"Slow down, you monkey."
"Why haven't we found those stinky Taoist priests yet? Hey, Mutoumian, you are here!" The young man dressed as a scholar ran over excitedly.
Yin Qianshang suddenly realized something and turned around to look back. The tavern had disappeared, and at the original gate there was only a tomb passage wall that was identical to the surrounding walls.
"If you do things to the extreme, your fate will end early." This line is from an old movie called "The Storm Riders", and Fang Shao has always been impressed by it.
Although the madness and cruelty of the big boss Ouyang Shaogong have their own origins, his obsession is also one of the reasons for his tragedy. He always misses the past, and wants to hold on to the warmth in his hands no matter what, and cannot accept silence no matter what. So he twisted and perverted in the constant gains and losses, and turned from the elegant and gentle Prince Changqin into a blood-stained demon.
Emotionally, I feel sorry for what happened to him, but intellectually, I sympathize more with the innocent people who were dragged into hell by his obsession.
Although he acted like a "prophet" in front of Tu Su, he had no idea what to do and could only respond accordingly. If only this sentence could alert Ouyang Shaogong himself.
Well, if it really doesn't work, just help Tu Su get through this difficult time first, and then look at the long-term situation in the future.
I don't know if the Immortal Alliance's "Ancient Dream" can help Tu Su's soul problem, but Fang Shao thinks that at least this wine should be useful for Ziyin Zhenren's injury. Although everyone likes to complain about the Immortal Alliance's poor business management ability, they still recognize their strength. After all, they are all real immortals.
After Tu Su and the others left, Stark, who had lost interest, also left with Peter. As usual, Zhu Lao stayed until the bar closed, then slowly left with two bottles of medicinal wine. He also had to report his cooperation with Iron Man to the United Government, and a new negotiation team was about to start.
As soon as Stark got home, he was summoned by Captain America. He hurried to the Avengers headquarters in the suburbs of New York City. Except for the minor Spider-Man who had just been separated, all other Avengers superheroes were already waiting there. Doctor Strange and Black Panther, who were not on the Avengers list at the moment, also joined in as representatives of Kamar-Taj and the Kingdom of Wakanda.
In the crowd, Stark also saw the unpleasant director of SHIELD, Nick Fury, and a handsome blond lady. Stark had seen a similar face in a movie before. This was Fury's secret weapon that he had always kept secret - Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers.
"Are you finally ready?" Stark folded his arms.
Seeing that everyone was present, Rogers pulled out a transparent screen above the table. Above the screen, six gems of different colors slowly rotated, emitting brilliant light.
"As I told you before, there are six Infinity Stones. If we can protect one of them and prevent Thanos from collecting all of them, we can stop his crazy plan."
"Is this the plan you've been thinking about for so long?" Stark said with a hint of sarcasm. "Protect one of them? How is this different from the original?" In the movie, didn't they just come together to protect the Mind Stone on Vision's head, but what was the result?
Scarlet Witch's eyes dimmed, and Vision immediately held his lover's hand.
Rogers ignored Stark's provocation. He and Bucky each got a small glass of the magical wine. He remembered Iron Man's kindness.
Captain America continued. "But we certainly can't be so passive."
He waved his hand, and a detailed plan replaced the six gems on the screen. Captain America's voice was sonorous and powerful.
"Attack is the best defense!"
