In the dim light, several strippers who had lost their posture were praising themselves on the stage, trying to get the attention of the guests as much as possible. There were not many guests, and the only few people did not set their eyes on the stage, but drank their own wine.

The bar is not big, and the interior is decorated in the style of previous years, with mottled colors and old tables and chairs, which seem to indicate that this bar is not doing very well.

It was nearly midnight and there were only a handful of customers in the bar. In a remote corner, a slightly obese middle-aged man sat alone, drinking beer after beer.

Suddenly, a large broad hand slapped him on the shoulder, almost knocking him under the table. Immediately after, a voice sounded: "Fat mouse, long time no see." ”

The fat mouse shuddered, hurriedly stood up, didn't even look at who it was, turned around and bowed his head, and said timidly: "Recently, I have been really tight on money, see if you can give you a few more days, I will send it to you as soon as I have money." ”

"Poof", the person who came couldn't help laughing: "Fat mouse, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are going back more and more." ”

"You ......"

The fat mouse hurriedly looked up, and the round face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"Squad Leader Hong, why are you here?"

The person who came was Hong Tie, he laughed and pulled the fat mouse to sit down. Unceremoniously picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured himself a full glass, and said while drinking: "This time I have something to look for you, but unfortunately your guy's communicator can't get through, I searched for a day before someone told me I could find you here." But it doesn't seem like you're mixing well. ”

The fat mouse glanced at the old clothes on his body, unconsciously blocked a stain with his hand, and said with a wry smile: "It's difficult." If I had known that I would be like this, I wouldn't have applied to leave the army in the first place. As he was talking, the fat mouse saw the young man standing behind Hong Tie and asked curiously, "Is this the recruit you brought?" ”

"Lao Tzu has long stopped bringing new recruits." Hong Tie drank the beer in the cup in one go, then snorted and scolded: "What kind of thing is this, it's really unpalatable...... Yunyi, go get a few bottles of good wine, I haven't seen Brother Fat Mouse for several years, so naturally we want to get together. By the way, you should remember carefully how much it costs, and when you go back, you will find the old man of the principal for reimbursement. ”

Yun Yi answered, turned around and walked towards the bar selling alcohol.

Hong Tie looked at Yun Yi's back and said to the fat mouse: "This time I am training the participating students of the School of Economics and Business, this kid is called Yun Yi, and he is very good in terms of talent and strength. This time I came to you, just to ask him to follow you and train well here. ”

"What! You're such a madman! Fat Rat exclaimed, "This guy is just a student, you would actually think of using this place to train mecha battles, don't you know how dangerous this is?" ”

"Dangerous?"

Hong Tie sneered and said disdainfully: "I'm afraid that what this kid has experienced is much more dangerous than here." Don't talk about this, in a word, you help or not. ”

The fat mouse was silent for a while, his face was a little embarrassed, and said, "How is his strength?" You may not know it, but the five fighters who followed me some time ago all met the masters during the competition. Two died directly on the spot, and two of them should have been scared after the defeat and left here directly. Now I only have a warrior under my command who is only level 8 of martial arts, and his combat ability is not very good, and he can't participate in those competitions with huge prizes. Now I'm almost too poor to take over the pot. If his game wasn't exciting enough, we wouldn't even be able to get it back. And...... You're not afraid of any accidents to him, how can you explain to the school? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I can still trust his ability. As for the unexpected ......" Hong Tie looked at the fat mouse with a smile and said, "As long as you worry more and don't arrange some too perverted guys for him, there will be no problem." ”

As he spoke, Yun Yi had already returned with a few bottles of good wine. Hong Tie snatched it and poured a cup for the fat mouse and himself. The fat mouse smelled the aroma of wine escaping from the glass in front of him, licked his tongue, and said helplessly: "Okay, I promise you." But if he doesn't even earn his appearance fee, you can compensate me for my losses. ”

Hong Tie's eyes rolled and he smiled: "No problem, this is as it should be." However, I also have a condition, if the battle he participates in exceeds the appearance fee, we will share eighty percent of the excess profit. ”

"Haha, that's good. I can't lose money, squad leader Hong really takes care of my little brother. The fat mouse's face suddenly relaxed, and he pulled Hong Tie and began to drink, recalling the things in the army while drinking, and seemed to have a very happy chat.

Yun Yi didn't drink, just asked for a cup of tea and listened to the conversation between the two on the side. Looking at that guy with a lewd face and looking extremely downcast, can he really be relied on?

Before coming here, Yun Yi never imagined that the training ground proposed by Hong Tie turned out to be the notorious underground mecha arena in the Chu Tang Empire.

In the underground arena full of violence, blood, and killing, most of the people who came here to participate in the competition were desperate people, such as bankrupts, fugitives, retired soldiers, etc., and most of these people were not from the Chu and Tang Empires. Like some people who are considered first-class masters in other small countries, they came to Chutang in order to seek a better life, but because the competition here was too fierce and went bankrupt, they had no choice but to go underground.

And more often than not, it is those who can't get along in other countries. For example, criminals, or offended some local powers. All in all, the people who are willing to fight here are a bunch of real madmen. In this kind of combat competition, which is not taboo about killing, their lives can be threatened with every fight. And under this tremendous pressure, many people are unable to stay normal and drink and take drugs every day to relieve the stress in their hearts. And when the pressure is too great, he can only be relieved and released on the battlefield by abusing his opponents.

After Hong Tie told him this, he didn't force it, just let him choose for himself. In this regard, Yun Yi did not refuse, and agreed almost without thinking. In his opinion, even if he can't defeat his opponent, with the experience he gained from life and death when fighting at the base, there should be no problem in protecting himself in battle.

He didn't tell Zhao Xiyue about this, but only told her that she was going to another planet to train for a while. And after getting Lin Moxue's consent, he sent Zhao Xiyue to Lin Moxue's four-star house in Chang'an, and asked her to take care of her for a while.

Before leaving, looking at the little girl's tears and reluctant look, Yun Yi was so moved that she almost didn't want to go, but in the end she was dragged away by Hong Tiesheng.

I don't know how the little girl is doing in an unfamiliar environment, will she not be able to sleep at night? But what's the use of worrying, Yun Yi shook his head, seeing that Hong Tie and the fat mouse were talking hotly, very speculative, it seemed that it would not end for a while.

Boredom, he took out the book "Star Thorn" from his bag by the dim light and studied it carefully.

Yun Yi, who was addicted to combat skills, couldn't even affect him with the slightly noisy environment around him. I don't know how long it has been. When he heard Hong Tie's face flushed and he shouted at him with a drunken body, he raised his head blankly.

I don't know what time it was, the bar was quiet, the stage was empty, and there were only two or three customers, most of whom were ready to leave.

And the fat rat who seemed to be obscene didn't know when he left.

Carefully retracting the "Star Thorn" into the bag, Yun Yi followed Hong Tie back to the hotel room where they lived.

Seeing Hong Tie, who was humming a song and seemed to be very happy, Yun Yi plucked up his courage and asked, "Instructor Hong, is that guy named Fat Mouse, really reliable?" ”
