Chapter 75 The Right Way to Make Friends (3K, Asking for Monthly Tickets)
There was too much traffic at noon, and the taxi was stuck on a bridge. The uncle touched the steering wheel, bored, opened the car window, pointed to the opposite side of the bridge, and said casually:
"Look, that's the suburb of Nancheng. More than ten years ago, a big company said it wanted to develop there, and attracted a lot of investment, which made the people in Nancheng very happy. Unexpectedly, it was detected that it was a 'high-incidence area of earthquakes'. The building was halfway built, and it was confirmed that it could not be sold, so it was simply not built, leaving a large area of unfinished buildings."
Xue Jing looked along his hand and could clearly see that at the end of his sight, there was a large area of half-built buildings, most of which were exposed to the outside.
"There is not even a living person there now, but there are a lot of dead people. Many cases of death in Qingcheng were found from there, because no one usually goes there, and it is convenient to hide the bodies there."
Xue Jing sat in the back seat of the car, did not answer, but stared.
He has a Level 5 aiming skill, and his eyesight is extremely strong, far beyond what ordinary people can compare to. It is equivalent to having a telescope. Even though he is very far away from the unfinished building area, he can still see many details clearly.
On the roof of an unfinished building without a ceiling, there seems to be a strange black shadow standing on a rusty steel bar. It seems to be... a cockroach?
Xue Jing blinked, and then looked carefully, but found that there was only a large black plastic bag hanging on the steel bar, which was rustling in the strong wind.
"Is it an illusion..." He was a little confused.
Could it be the sequelae of killing the cockroach monster two days ago? Now when he sees something that looks a bit like it, he feels it is a cockroach.
Shaking his head, he didn't care too much.
Maybe he was indeed left with some psychological trauma. After all, cockroaches are really disgusting.
...
Beicheng District is where most government officials live, and it has always been said to be "Northern Noble".
Of course, the statement is just a statement, not absolute. There are also many ordinary residents in Beicheng District, and there are only a few government officials. If only they can live in Beicheng District, it will become a ghost town.
This is the first time Xue Jing has come to Beicheng District. Sitting in the car, he looked around curiously through the window for a while, and did not find any difference between here and Dongcheng and Xicheng.
But after the car drove into a long slope, passed two corners, and entered Mufeng Street, his thoughts changed.
On the clean and tidy streets, villas and mansions are scattered among the lush green trees. Pedestrians are dressed decently and have good temperament. Some people even wear the housekeeper uniforms and maid uniforms that can only be seen in idol TV dramas...
The vehicles passing by on the street are not all expensive luxury cars, but the license plates are all one to five, five to one, five sixes, five nines, etc.
This kind of license plate is quite intimidating even if it is hung on a Wuling Hongguang, which shows what kind of people are in the car.
After the driver drove the car in here, the old driver's leisurely look was also put away. He was very serious, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, leaning forward, and concentrating.
It was like taking the second subject test, cautious, afraid of scratching or bumping into anything.
After arriving at the destination, Xue Jing scanned the code to pay, said thank you, and got off the car.
He turned around and looked at the house in front of him.
Yes, Dabieye.
There were already two people standing at the gate that was big enough for a large car to pass through.
"Is there light?" Xue Jing asked in confusion.
He looked at the wealthy young man who was scratching his head and laughing awkwardly, and then looked at his elder brother Pei Tiancheng beside him.
"Is it the commission you gave to the dojo?" Xue Jing raised his eyebrows.
Pei Youguang walked up with a smile and said, "I guess so."
"Let's not talk about this for now, Master Xue, welcome to our brothers' home, please come in!"
...
Xue Jing followed Pei Youguang and his brother into the villa, passed a large courtyard, and after several corridors, came to a large and elegantly decorated living room.
He sat down on the sofa in the living room, and immediately several maids came over with tea trays.
One of them walked in front of Xue Jing, half-knelt down, placed the tea set, and used warm water to make him a cup of unknown variety of black tea.
"Sir, please have some tea." She extended her hand respectfully, lowered her head and quietly looked at Xue Jing's profile, with a blush on her face.
"Thank you." Xue Jing replied politely, picked up the cup that looked very expensive and took a sip. He didn't taste anything, but felt that the taste was good and the aftertaste was very strong.
He put down the cup, looked at Pei Tiancheng who was sitting opposite him, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Pei, you gave this commission to our dojo, do you want me to practice with you?"
Pei Youguang, who was standing next to him, curled his lips when he heard this, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Pei Tiancheng immediately shook his head quickly and said:
"No, it's not me, someone wants to ask you out through me, to meet you."
"I think you are so powerful, you should be very busy, I'm afraid it's not good to ask you out directly, so I spent money to give you a commission."
Pei Tiancheng said tactfully, his expression a little embarrassed.
Previously at the banquet at Ruizhu Hotel, he wanted to meet Xue Jing and asked Pei Youguang to call him over, but Pei Youguang came back alone.
He had seen through it at that time. It was not that Pei Youguang forgot to say it, but that Xue Jing was a proud man who would not do anything that had anything to do with servility.
The reason why he invited Xue Jing through entrustment this time was that he was worried that if he invited him directly, he would recall what happened that night and refuse again.
Xue Jing did not care about Pei Tiancheng's complicated thoughts, but just asked curiously: "Oh? Someone wants to see me? Who is it?"
Pei Tiancheng waved his hand and asked the maids beside him to go down.
Then he whispered:
"I don't know... It's a man who seems to have a very special origin. My father's attitude towards him is quite respectful, so I try my best to meet his requirements."
"Yesterday, Youguang and I accompanied this man to drink, and asked some things. He said he came from an official organization, but I didn't ask what organization it was."
Pei Tiancheng paused and continued:
"However, this man is very strong."
"Although I haven't fought with him, I can tell from his appearance, temperament and some habits that this person should be the kind of person who is used to fighting. He speaks and does things very decisively and doesn't like to beat around the bush."
Xue Jing nodded and asked:
"Where is he?"
Pei Tiancheng pondered for a while and whispered: "In the back mountain of Beicheng District not far from here... He said he would take you to see him when you come."
Seeing that he was a little cautious in speaking, Xue Jing reached out and patted his shoulder as if to comfort him, and laughed:
"Don't worry, you are the employer now, you have the final say."
Pei Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good."
"Without further delay, I'll take you there right now."
...
On the grassy slope behind the mountain in the northern city, a man was lying with his legs crossed, basking in the sun.
He closed his eyes and looked to be in his early twenties, with a buzz cut, slightly dark skin, and a resolute face. He was holding a piece of grass in his mouth, grinding it with his teeth.
The man was wearing a black sleeveless vest, green military pants and black military boots. His exposed muscles were strong and full of hardness, exuding an almost metallic luster, as if they were cast from steel.
"Hmm?"
The man suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and reached out to press gently behind his ear.
"Hello? Captain?"
"..."
"Ah? Can't go too far? Didn't you say you wanted to try to invite him to join Baiya? This must happen to him to join Baiya, otherwise my previous sufferings would be in vain?"
"..."
"Powerful backers? How big can it be? Hey, okay, I'll try to hold back."
"However, he may be our companion in the future. You know how dangerous the border is. Companions should know each other well... I will try to test his limits, and I still have to use some heavy hands."
The rustling sound of a car passing through a gravel road came from a distance, and the man turned his head to look.
"No more talking, the people are here."
The man pressed his ear, then stood up and stretched his muscles.
A black car slowly drove onto the grass and stopped.
Pei Tiancheng and Pei Youguang walked out of the driver's seat and the co-pilot seat respectively.
The door of the back seat of the car also opened, and a young man with an overly handsome face walked out.
"Oh? He looks like a real man."
The man said to himself.
He walked towards the young man, opened his arms as if to hug him, and his arms were extremely long, like the arms of an ape, reaching past the knees.
The man grinned and said:
"Xue Jing, nice to meet you, you can call me 'Mandrill'."
"Then let's make friends without delay."
"The best way to make friends--"
"Just by fighting!"
As soon as the words fell, the grass suddenly exploded, and the man's figure disappeared from the spot.
Xue Jing looked at the mandrill that suddenly appeared in front of him and punched him, his expression did not change at all.
As Pei Tiancheng said, it was really vigorous.
"Well."
"I don't hate this direct way of communication."
The punch was so powerful that it made a whistling sound in the friction of the air, as if even a piece of steel plate placed in front of it would be punched through by it.
However, Xue Jing did not dodge or evade, but stood still and took the punch with his chest.
"Puff——"
In the somewhat surprised eyes of the mandrill, after the fist touched his chest, it was like hitting a tire, with a dull sound.
Xue Jing's bones trembled, making a rumbling sound like thunder. The powerful kinetic energy carried by the punch was absorbed and transformed by the bones all over his body...
The breathing method was running, and the strength was agitated in the flesh, turning into a real dragon, wandering around, engulfing the kinetic energy in the bones and turning it into its own use.
The sound of dragon roar resounded.
All the strength was concentrated on the front of his right fist. Xue Jing turned around and swung a backhand punch at a very fast speed, like a real dragon swinging its tail, sealing the sea of clouds.
Killer move - Sealing Cloud Tail!
"Bang!!"
The air was torn apart, and the grass within a few meters ahead was bent into a fan shape by the airflow.
Under the dull eyes of Pei Tiancheng and Pei Youguang, after a loud bang, the whole mandrill was knocked out more than 20 meters away, and its body was inserted straight into the slope of the grass like a javelin.
