Chapter 117 (2/2)
“My son is from the Xiongfeng Mercenary Corps. Everyone around here knows that. Besides, the guards of our base aren't just for show, and they all have identification.” The old man spoke complacently and deliberately showed off his wrist. A smile slowly appeared on Bai Jing's face. It was difficult to encounter such a good-natured old man after the apocalypse.
“Hey! Are you going to buy something or not?” On the other hand, the old man was unhappy.
“Yes, buy, buy, but we don't want this gene solution, we'll get something else.” Bai Jing laughed and picked up a jade Buddha about the size of his palm. He didn't know whose private collection it had come from before.
“I thought there would be a big business because of the way they dressed.” The old man muttered in a low voice as he waved his hand. He was no longer very interested in them, ”One level one nucleus.”
“Good.” Bai Jing paid the money very quickly and asked carelessly, “Old man, I don't think your gene solution is very rare. How come everyone is selling it?” As he spoke, he glanced at a nearby grocery stall, where a few identical small bottles were put on display. The only difference was that they were different colors.
The old man choked. He didn't expect to be called out like this. Bai Jing laughed as he pulled out another crystal nucleus and stuffed it into his hand. The old man weighed it in his hand and then smiled in satisfaction. He immediately stopped trying to deceive them and lowered his voice to whisper, ”To tell you the truth, the level one genetic solution has already been sold to the outside world. As long as anyone has enough crystal nucleus on hand, they'll be able to buy it. But I'm offering it for the genuine price. I heard that the research inst.i.tute is currently working on level five gene solutions, and level two gene solutions will soon be available to the public. If you want, I can find a way to obtain it for you, but you have to be willing to pay the price.”
“Thank you. What about level four? Can you get it?”
“You're just trying to scare me now, right? There isn't even enough level four gene solution for the people inside the base, how could I get it for you? I can get level three, though. If you want it, just say the word.”
Bai Jing had originally been joking and wasn't disappointed when he heard the old man's words. He'd obtained the information he wanted to know, so they continued on. Bai Jing felt a little relieved. No wonder no one had been surprised by level three ability users at the checkpoint earlier--According to that old man, most people could get their hands on level three gene solution. Level two and level one were both already readily available. With this kind of broad move, it was no wonder that the Capital's development could proceed so quickly. Jing Sa City really had a long way to go if they wanted to catch up.
They casually wandered through the market. Xu Feng and Yang Lin went shopping while Bai Jing hesitated but finally said nothing. He let the two of them do as they like, but the supplies he had in his s.p.a.ce were really much better than any of the goods available in the market.
Xiao Sa maintained his good mood all the way, turning a blind eye to the actions of his two subordinates. His mind was crammed with dirty thoughts, and all he wanted to do was go to bed tonight.
The entertainment area wasn't far away from the market, only two blocks away. As they walked over, Xu Feng shouted out loudly that they really had to go to the bar.
The hotel that was located at the entrance of the entertainment area used to be a five-star hotel. After the apocalypse, all the hotels in the capital had closed down and become residences for people in the base. Only this one was still open, and it was now part of the Qi Family's businesses. Bai Jingcheng had ordered a banquet here tonight.
Because it was still early, the hotel wasn't crowded. Bai Jing looked away as he did not have any intention to go in and check it out. In any case, they would know what it was like once evening came. Under Xu Feng's urging, they went straight to the bar.
“Lao Tzu wants to smoke and drink. Don't stop me. It's my treat today.” Xu Feng spoke boldly, and his loud voice instantly attracted sideways glances from the people around them.
Bai Jing rolled his eyes at him. He normally didn't treat them that badly, did he have to be so embarra.s.sing?
As soon as Xiao Sa arrived at the bar door, he regretted it immediately and wanted to turn around and leave right then and there.
“Gentlemen, please come in.”
More than a dozen women stood at the entrance of the bar. The clothing they wore barely covered them up and left quite a lot exposed depending on how they moved, striking poses to attract customers. Their soft voices seemed to suggest s.e.x and decadence, and like a group of succubi, their seductive gazes focused on their group.
“What would you gentlemen like? Xiao Lin can serve you. We sell everything here.” Xiao Lin leisurely stepped forward, revealing her thighs as she stared at Xiao Sa, fixing her gaze on him as she wantonly shook her body and showed off her pale white cleavage.
Bai Jing's expression immediately turned black. He pulled at Xiao Sa and wanted to leave. Red wine, white wine, liquor, he had all of those things in his s.p.a.ce. They didn't need to go to such bars.
Xiao Sa's heart relaxed a little. He quite enjoyed his little lover's jealousy.
This was probably something like karma; Xiao Sa did not realize that after joy came sorrow.
”Bai Jing, Bai Jing, are you Bai Jing?” A woman with heavy make-up came up suddenly, her eyes full of tears, and her eyebrows twisted with emotion. If she hadn't made her face up in various colors, she might have appeared quite pitiful and not charming at all…
Xiao Sa's expression instantly changed. Cold air began to emanate from his body, and his face was darker than the bottom of a burned pot.
“Who are you?” Bai Jing turned around and frowned with displeasure. The woman indeed looked familiar.
“I'm Zhu Ting, I'm Zhu Ting! Bai Jing, I've missed you so much. I looked for you for such a long time. Do you know how much I've suffered?”
Xiao Sa's expression became even uglier. Xu Feng and Yang Lin didn't even dare breathe.
Zhu Ting? Bai Jing sneered, his lips forming a playful smile as he looked ironically at the woman in front of him. He studied her face and found that he had long been unable to remember her original appearance. He had suffered for her in his last life, but in the end, she had turned around and kicked him to the curb when he was down and hooked up with another high level ability user. He hadn't expected that without him in this life, the originally lofty lady would end up having to sell her body to live on.
“I don't know you.” Bai Jing spoke indifferently. There wasn't a single ripple in his heart. Perhaps to Zhu Ting, it had only been two years since they'd seen each other, but for Bai Jing, it had already been nearly ten years. If she hadn't mentioned it, Bai Jing thought that he probably wouldn't even have remembered that she existed.
