Chapter 10: A Thousand Years of Time
Lin Zhen and Meng Dong got into Zhao Liang’s car, which was the latest model of Great Wall Phantom bulletproof car.
In the automobile industry today, each country is basically using cars produced in its own country, because all the seas and rivers have basically become the world of monsters, the shipping industry is in a paralyzed state, and aviation is similar. The sky is a world of mutant birds. Each country basically has no navigation, so people can only use their own country's cars, and there is no such thing as buying foreign goods.
Great Wall is one of the domestically produced high-end cars. The market price of the bulletproof Phantom is more than 7 million. For Lin Zhen, a reborn person, it is nothing, but for Meng Dong, a fledgling boy, it is too shocking.
"Tsk tsk! Look at this car, the shine, the model! If I could have a car like this, I would be content in my life."
Zhao Liang laughed and said, "You are too unambitious. Once you have trained a little more and become advanced warriors, you can form a team to hunt monsters. As long as you kill a few advanced monsters, you can easily get the car."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Zhen again and said, "Look, Lin Zhen is much calmer than you. As a warrior, a calm mind is very necessary. You should learn this from Lin Zhen."
Meng Dong glanced at Lin Zhen and said, "I won't compete with this kid. He is best at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. He is so strong but he doesn't show it. I was worried about him. He has been like this since he was a child. No matter what he does in the future, I won't be surprised at all."
"Haha! Being able to hide one's shortcomings is also a skill. Come on, get in the car, let's go drink."
Lin Zhen and Meng Dong got into the car and felt that the door was very heavy.
"When we warriors choose a car, bulletproof performance is our top priority. As you train longer, your nerve reactions become faster, and the number of guns that can threaten you becomes smaller and smaller. But that won't work if you're sitting in a car. If the enemy machine guns sweep over you, where are you going to hide? So the higher the bulletproof performance of the vehicle, the better."
Zhao Liang was the one who basically talked along the way, while Lin Zhen and Meng Dong were listening. Although Lin Zhen knew much more than Zhao Liang, he had no intention of revealing it at all. He could see that Zhao Liang treated them both well, and he didn't want to show that he was different from others.
The car was running very fast on the road, and after a while, it entered a spacious and prosperous street.
"Wow! This is Shenwu Street. It is said that consumption here is super expensive!" Meng Dong was sitting in the car, shouting at the bustling night scene outside.
"Haha! For ordinary people, the cost of living on this street is really high. One meal may cost an ordinary person a year's income, and one night may cost ten years' income, or even money that you may not earn in your entire life. But Meng Dong, remember, you are now a member of the Liefeng Martial Arts School. You need to adjust your mindset as soon as possible. A warrior is a warrior. Although you live with ordinary people, you have nothing to do with the world of ordinary people."
Meng Dong's face turned a little red. His mentality had indeed not been adjusted yet. Although he had just joined Liefeng, he was still an ordinary person in his mentality.
On the contrary, Zhao Liang admired Lin Zhen's calm appearance. Only with this mentality can one face everything calmly, which is the prerequisite for becoming an excellent warrior.
The car stopped at the door of a bar, and a waiter immediately came up to greet him: "Brother Zhao! You haven't been here for several days."
"Well, is there a spot?"
"Yes, there must be one when you come. Brother Zhao Liefeng's seat is one that he wouldn't dare to sit in even if someone asked him to."
Zhao Liang smiled, threw two bills to the waiter, and asked him to wipe and park the car.
The waiter immediately went over with a smile on his face. Nowadays, the largest denomination of currency is one thousand yuan, and two of them would be two thousand yuan, which is considered a small fortune.
These warriors have a lot of money and are always generous, making them the waiters' favorite guests.
When they reached the door, Lin Zhen and Meng Dong looked up and saw that the name of the bar was "Millennium Time".
This bar is very famous in the martial arts circle. The interior decoration is modeled after the layout of the AD period thousands of years ago, which has a retro feel.
As for the AD calendar, everyone today has studied history and knows a thing or two. Although human potential was not fully developed at that time, technology, culture, art and other things were no worse than they are now, and were even much stronger. As for enjoyment, the Shenbian calendar was not as good as the AD calendar.
Zhao Liang walked in front, and Lin Zhen followed him with a calm expression, but what he recalled in his mind was the time when he came to this bar before.
Although this has been a bar for thousands of years, fights often occur here. In his previous life, he joined the Bikong Martial Arts School and came out to celebrate for the first time. It was also on this day and in this bar that a fierce conflict broke out here.
The students of Tulong and Liefeng fought here that day. Meng Dong and Ouyang Yu both participated in the battle. Both Meng Dong and Ouyang Yu defeated their opponents and really made a little name for themselves in the martial arts circle.
Fame is also very important for warriors, and it is very difficult to make a name for yourself in the circle.
But the protagonist that day was not Meng Dong, but a first-class student of Liefeng Martial Arts School named Fu Chengya. He single-handedly blocked the joint attack of a first-class student and a second-class student of Tulong, and did not lose for five minutes.
There were eight Dragon Slayers participating in the battle that day, but only four people from Liefeng. The main reason why they did not suffer a complete defeat was that Fu Chengya was present. He was worthy of his reputation as a first-class student.
That battle was very famous among the students at that time. Although Liefeng lost in the end, Fu Chengya became famous in one battle. At that time, Lin Zhen was just a spectator in the corner.
It is said that Fu Chengya also received a reward from Liefeng Martial Arts School because of this, but Lin Zhen is not sure what the specific reward was.
"Fu Chengya, Liefeng's top student, you are the one who robbed my mutant buffalo king in my previous life, causing me to lose hundreds of millions. I will see you again soon this time." Lin Zhen thought as he followed Zhao Liang into the bar hall.
Walking into the bar hall, there is a dance floor in the center, surrounded by dozens of round tables for guests to drink. On the stage in the center of the dance floor, an innocent-looking woman is playing and singing an old song with a guitar. The song is called "Dream Chaser", which is said to have been popular in the AD period. There is also a band playing accompaniment next to her.
It is said that all the decoration and layout are arranged according to the period of 2000 AD, and they are indeed very different from the current style.
There were already many tables of guests in the hall, and they all looked like warriors or students from martial arts schools.
Today is the day when the graduation exams are over. Every student recruited by each martial arts school will basically choose to go out and celebrate. Almost all the bars on this street are packed.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Zhao Liang brought Lin Zhen and Meng Dong to the position he was most familiar with, a position that was neither too far nor too close to the stage and had a good view.
"What do you two want to eat?" Zhao Liang asked them first.
Lin Zhen and Meng Dong both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know what to order.
In fact, the rookie students didn't really know what to order when they came here. Zhao Liang was not surprised and said, "Then give me a magic wolf leg, two pounds of mutant beef, a plate of fruit and a plate of nuts, and a box of Ice City beer."
The food is served very quickly here, and it comes out in less than five minutes.
The waiter opened three bottles of beer, and Zhao Liang handed one to Lin Zhen and Meng Dong respectively: "Come on, as a warrior, you must learn how to drink. The environment here is suitable for drinking beer. Let's not go home until we are drunk today."
The three of them clinked their glasses and drank the bottle of beer in one gulp.
I had just sat down to eat something when someone walked in from outside.
"We're the people who went to No. 1 Middle School to recruit students. Lao Hu, come this way!" Zhao Liang took a look and immediately greeted him.
Four people came in from outside, led by a tall warrior, followed by three students.
"Liangzi, you are here too." Old Hu walked over with a laugh and sat down casually when he got here.
"Yes, Brother Hu had a good harvest today. He recruited three students, and one of them was first-class." Zhao Liang looked at the three students behind Lao Hu with a hint of envy in his eyes. The academy of No. 1 Middle School has always been outstanding, but it is not so easy to recruit first-class students. Unexpectedly, Lao Hu actually found a first-class one and made a lot of money this time.
"Hahaha! It's just luck. Fu Chengya is really good, and you are not bad either. One is second-class and the other is third-class. It's rare for a place like No. 6 Middle School to recruit such people. Come on, you students should get to know each other, so that you won't forget that you are one of our own when you arrive at the martial arts hall in the future."
Fu Chengya had a handsome appearance and a slightly cold demeanor. The other two people, a second-class student named Zhu Haoran and a third-class student named Zhang Yi, came over, greeted Zhao Liang first, and then introduced themselves to Lin Zhen and Meng Dong.
Seeing that the table was a bit small, Lao Hu called Zhao Liang and said, "Lao Zhao, let's go into the private room and let the younger generation play together. There are many old friends in the private room today. They seem to want to play cards. Let's go and play."
Many warriors like to gamble, and Zhao Liang is no exception. When he heard this, his eyes lit up immediately: "Okay, let's go and take a look."
The two men stood up, and Zhao Liang said to Lin Zhen and the others, "You can have fun as much as you want. Order whatever you want to eat and drink. If the consumption is below 300,000, don't worry, just put it on my bill. If there are other martial arts students who are blind and find fault, don't be polite and beat them up. We can't weaken the reputation of our Liefeng, understand?"
Several students agreed, and the two warriors went to play cards arm in arm.
There were only five students left at the table, and Lin Zhen knew that the show was about to begin.
