Chapter 133 Dragon Nest Bar (Thanks to the leader Lian Lian is just shaking Coke)
South District 1, Pilgrim Street.
On Sunday night, the streets were brightly lit, with large buildings about 100 meters high lined up, various projections and screens everywhere, playing popular advertisements, and promoting various IPs.
At the Dragon Nest Bar, No. 57 in the middle of Pilgrim Street, a large bar was in business. On its sign was a giant dragon head composed of lights and projections. This dark red dragon had three pairs of sharp horns, and from time to time it spewed hot flames from its mouth, illuminating the large square in front of the bar.
From time to time, high-end hovercrafts drove in from the air and entered the parking lot entrances on both sides of the square. Under the square was a parking lot that looked like a honeycomb. After each hovercraft entered the hole of the honeycomb, it would automatically lock. When the guests left, they only needed to call with a personal terminal in the square, and these hovercrafts would automatically fly out, then stop in the square, allowing guests to board and take off.
Inside the bar, colorful lights rotate, various figures sway, and people shake their bodies following the deafening singing. The stimulating alcoholic drinks and psychedelic sounds make people immersed in this crazy world, venting the pressure and irritability in life.
This is the South District 1, the most prosperous area of Emerald Skirt, and also the place with the greatest competitive pressure. Young people from all over the planet come here with many dreams, hoping to find their own way out in the future, or become famous, or make a lot of money, or meet their ideal partner, etc.
But the higher the hope, the greater the gap will be. The South District 1 has a salary that exceeds that of other areas, but it also faces higher consumption and far more temptations than other areas.
The values that were once cultivated since childhood are easily shattered under this huge impact of interests. In order to make money, many things that were previously insisted on have become sellable, whether it is the body, dignity, ideals, or other things.
There is no need to force it at all. There are countless people rushing to oppress themselves, clamoring that they are the cheapest, the best, the fastest, etc. There is never a shortage of young people with dreams and eager to climb up here. As long as you have money, you can easily choose everything.
Although they do make more money, many people are not happy because they see more people who are richer than themselves and even enjoy more. This envy and jealousy turns into a driving force, allowing them to go further on this road. At the same time, anxiety and indignation continue to accumulate in their hearts.
"I am not much worse than him. Why is he so lucky?"
"This boss is so hateful. He doesn't even give me the highest salary. Is he exploiting me?"
"Those employees are so cunning. They obviously don't know anything and mess up everything. They brag about how great they are every day, which makes me waste my money."
"They are all a bunch of trash!"
Success must be faster. It is uncomfortable to be one second late. Watching others make money easily is even more uncomfortable than losing money yourself. Why?
The desire of capital for expansion and making money is transmitted from top to bottom. Pressure and anxiety fall on everyone, and only a very small number of people enjoy it.
"Hey, would you like a drink, this beautiful lady?"
In the bar, a man wearing a flowered shirt and colorfully dyed hair approached a blonde girl next to him. The other party ignored him and continued to drink with her friends.
"Linda, it's so noisy here." The blonde girl who was just approached complained to her companions.
"You'll get used to it. Everyone is here, Mi'er." As she said this, the girl with dark blue highlights on her inner side raised her eyes and pointed to several other people not far away, some of whom were men and some women. The
dozen or so people sitting here are all freshmen of Edes Academy, but there are also different levels among the freshmen. Among them, some have louder voices and are surrounded by compliments and have the best family backgrounds.
"See, Lu Ji and Suo Mo Ya are here. It's not good for us to leave early." The companion whispered in her ear.
Lu Ji and Suo Mo Ya are the two people with the best family backgrounds in their class. In order to build a good relationship, many people dare not offend these two. Although their own family backgrounds are not bad, they care more about this impression. Their families have told them before coming to school.
"It's so boring."
The blonde girl called Mi'er shook the straw in front of her and complained weakly. Her mother was once a famous second-tier star. Although she was sent to Edes Academy by connections, she was not very noticeable among the students from wealthy families.
Just as everyone was still echoing the men and women in the middle, a noise became louder and louder, and finally with the sound of the bottle breaking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Countless eyes gathered, and the resounding background music seemed a little quiet for a while.
"You only know how to argue, right! Come on, let's have a competition today. If you don't come, you're a bastard! Don't yell in front of people in the future." The words were very rude, but it was normal in this bar.
"Let's have a competition, who the hell is afraid of it!" Another group of people were not to be outdone.
At this time, there was a burst of instigation in the venue. Many people really watched the excitement and didn't mind the trouble.
"Yes, screw him, let him know what a piece of shit he is, and he dares to brag in this Dragon's Nest bar!"
"Hit him, don't waste time, how can you tolerate this?"
"Just have a life-and-death race, those who are afraid of death should get out, don't shout here."
The noise in the venue attracted the attention of several students who were originally at the party.
After a while, they learned about what happened from other people.
It turned out that two groups of people had a conflict over a female companion. Some people said that the person on the other side had cheated on their brother, and the people here naturally couldn't tolerate it. They happened to meet in the bar again, and the two groups despised each other for being cowards who would be looked down upon by women.
"So, in the end, we have to have a race to decide the winner, right?" A boy looked at the venue with interest.
"Yes, if the two sides start fighting directly, it is easy to call the police, and then the anti-riot self-discipline unit will intervene and stop it."
"The bar owner and manager certainly don't want someone to die in their bar, otherwise it will be easy to revoke their business license."
"Going out for racing is different. It is not a violent incident, and the anti-riot self-discipline unit will not be dispatched. If someone dies, they can blame the other party for driving carelessly or impulsively. In addition, they may not die. After all, the protection mechanism of racing is getting better and better now."
"Secondly, racing is also secretly supported by some modification companies or underground gambling houses. This can make a profit, so they have been promoting this solution." The students in the Edes Academy are worthy of their family background. They are knowledgeable and know more about social truths than ordinary people.
"Let's go, do you want to take a look?"
"Of course, it's a rare opportunity, and it would be a big loss if you don't take a look."
The students followed the flow of people in the bar to the outside, and soon after, both sides began to call people and transport racing cars, and for a while, the spectators in the venue also talked about the pros and cons of both sides.
