Chapter 147 Chapter 145 The World Slows Down

Zhuang Xuteng closed the door, locked it, and put the key in his pocket. The three-month training officially ended, and the outside world welcomed them with a heavy snow.

"Huh... It's a bit cold." Zhuang Xuteng was still wearing the clothes he wore three months ago. Although they were all long-sleeved and long-pants, the wind and snow today were quite strict, requiring winter clothes to be worn. He rubbed his arms, stamped his feet, and looked around. Although his home was next door and there was enough warmth there, he still wanted to keep it secret unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Where is it cold?" Ge Gongdao rolled up his sleeves and shook the wolf hair on his arms in the cold wind. "I think this temperature is just right, hahaha."

"What's there to laugh about? I'll see if your hair will fall off when it gets hot!" Zhuang Xuteng wrapped his clothes tightly and said, "Let's go back to Peicheng quickly. It's too cold in the countryside without any shelter."

"When I came here, I saw a steak house in the town. Do you want to go there and have something good first? I've been eating buns for three consecutive months, and now I just want to change my taste. Huh, I'm hungry when I think about it."

Steak house? Zhuang Xuteng shook his head. He knew too well how the so-called steak there was made. "The first thing we should do after completing the commission is to stay away from the scene. These three months are equivalent to one commission, so we should keep our distance first."

"That's fine. I'm not hungry now anyway. Why don't you go to town to buy a set of warm clothes?"

"Get in the car first. It's not cold in the car."

So, the two of them complained about the old and leaky bus all the way, and they were a little quieter when they called Lucy. They wanted to take back their car and belongings, but they heard that Lucy was not in the city and would not be back until midnight today. They could not meet until tomorrow at the earliest, so they could only solve it themselves today.

Gongdao Ge shouted for a big piece of meat and refused to return to the warehouse base of operations. The base had been vacant for so long and was not connected to the heating pipeline. It must be as cold as an ice cellar. Moreover, he didn't want to make do with the Puff Puff instant food sticks, nor did he have the intention to cook. So they got off the transfer station and went straight to the Golden Bird Restaurant next door.

They followed the guidance of their noses.

This is a local restaurant that focuses on returning customers from the neighborhood. The decoration is very simple and warm. In front of the long iron counter are high stools for single diners. They can talk to the boss while eating, so they won't feel lonely. There are only four two-person tables facing each other by the window, and most of the others are for four or six people. On the table are worn old menus, as well as chili oil, pepper, salt and soy sauce bottles.

The restaurant's main food is fried chicken, but there are no whole chickens here, only chicken breasts, chicken legs, chicken wings and the like. Zhuang Xuteng looked at the price and knew that the chicken used here was synthetic chicken. The main ingredient is still mealworms, and then some chicken flavor is added. This is also the usual practice of most restaurants now. Chicken breasts are the cheapest, and chicken wings are the most expensive. The reason for the high price is that a whole wing requires six bones, which is more troublesome to make.

"Give him a big-bellied man set meal, and I want one of your classic set meals. When you don't know what to eat, choose classic or standard. At least they can do this well, otherwise they can't continue to operate and there will be no other expansion." Zhuang Xuteng was very glad that he brought his wallet with him. D Pang's sponsorship funds have always been kept in it. He paid the bill, including a pretty good tip, and then asked, "Is there anyone around who sells thick clothes? I'm a little too cold."

"There's a ready-made clothing store across the street. It doesn't have a clear sign, but there's a cartoon man in a jacket painted on the wooden board next to the door. People around here will go there, and you'll definitely find something you like." The waiter was quite enthusiastic, and he took the initiative to introduce, "The classic set meal will take ten minutes to come up, and this time is enough for a round trip."

"That's great." Zhuang Xuteng stood up and said, "Brother Dao, I'll go there."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Ge Gongdao waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the direction of the kitchen.

Ten minutes later, Zhuang Xuteng returned to the store wearing a brand new down jacket and found that Ge Gongdao was surrounded by four tattooed thugs, and the waiter just now was trying to dissuade them. These were probably members of a small gang nearby, and they had the ability to collect protection fees, and then they had to pay protection fees to a larger gang and become a vassal of a large gang in order to survive.

These people are too tactless, aren't they? Ge Gongdao was obviously the tallest and strongest guy in the restaurant, and he was just sitting there waiting for his meal. Why would you provoke him? Even if he showed his long hair on his arms, which made him look a little different, the more different he was, the more we should be wary, right? Alas, there are many rookies in the mercenary world who don't know the seriousness of the situation, and there are even more of them in the gangs.

They were laughing at Ge Gongdao's body hair and making a barking sound, which made Ge Gongdao roll his eyes. Zhuang Xuteng thought for two seconds at the door. He really wanted to practice with these people to see what the three months of training would yield.

In fact, those four people were not enough for Ge Gongdao to beat. Zhuang Xuteng had to worry about not being able to get an opponent, and he also had to consider the interests of the restaurant. So he pretended to be a kind passerby and dragged the waiter away, lowering his voice and asking: "If we knock those four down, it won't affect you, right?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said: "If they go to report and call more people, you will be in trouble."

Okay, I understand, as long as you don't let them go immediately after knocking them down, you can still finish your meal here. Zhuang Xuteng patted the waiter's shoulder to express his gratitude and asked him to stay a little further away.

Just as the restaurant owner was shouting behind the counter and trying to attract the attention of the four gangsters, Zhuang Xuteng had already walked towards them and improved himself to the level of three dodges. He pointed at two of the gangsters and said that they belonged to him, and the other two returned to Gongdao. Unexpectedly, Brother Dao raised three fingers, indicating that he wanted three quarters.

Whatever, one or two doesn't have much impact on Zhuang Xuteng. He just wants to compare with ordinary people and understand the training results. So he slapped him from behind, giving one of them a big slap, which knocked one of them unconscious.

This slap was like a horn that was activated. Ge Gongdao suddenly stood up and punched him high. His opponent immediately raised his arms to block, and his reaction was quite fast. But he used such two thin arms to block Ge Gongdao's fist?

Of course, Ge Gongdao didn't punch directly - that was his previous fighting style. Now with the super-computing martial arts three-dodge, he is more flexible. The punch turned in the air without slowing down at all, but it bypassed the opponent's defense line and changed from a punch to the face to an uppercut to the chest.

I didn't hit the chin because I really didn't want to kill someone.

The first person was punched off the ground, airborne for half a second and then fell back down. Ge Gongdao stretched out his hands to grab the other two people, pretending to choke them. The two people were stunned for a moment, then retreated and advanced respectively, one trying to escape and the other trying desperately. They made different responses, but the result was the same, they were all responded to by Ge Gongdao.

Two big hands made beautiful turns in the air. One put the heel of his palm on the gangster's nose, and the other grabbed the back of the escaper's neck. During the short period of time when the two people's centers of gravity were unstable, Ge Gongdao pulled and tugged, colliding the two people's heads, and solved them cleanly.

On the other hand, Zhuang Xuteng, after giving the slap, waited for his only opponent to attack so that he could take advantage of him. Only when splitting moves can we better measure the difference in reaction speed. Unexpectedly, "his gangster" kept covering the back of his head in a daze. He didn't attack until the other three were all knocked down.

"If you don't take action, I will beat you first." Zhuang Xuteng raised his fist and shook it slightly.

"I was wrong!" The gangster glanced at the three companions who had fallen on the ground with his peripheral vision, and quickly begged for mercy: "Please let me go, I am just stupid, I have a bad mouth, I am such a bastard!"

Zhuang Xuteng sighed. It seemed that he couldn't experience the three flashes this time. "Brother, you can knock him out, I won't hit him lightly or hard."

"Huh? Still have to..." Before the gangster could say the word "beaten," he was punched in the side by Ge Gongdao, and he fainted with a buzz in his head.

He raised his fist and beat the three people on the ground again, making sure that they were all unconscious. Then he smiled and said: "You are so unlucky to meet someone who is good at begging for mercy. This is your choice, not mine." Assigned to you. And, boss, where is our set meal?”

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and dragged the four gangsters under the table on one side so that they would not block other people's entry and exit in the aisle. When he came back and sat down, the boss just brought their set meal. Steaming golden fried chicken nuggets are topped with sauce and topped with generously breaded, hardened mashed potatoes. Everyone has a glass of light orange juice, which has unlimited refills and is still hot, which seems very humane. There is also a plate of various pickles in the set meal, which is no problem at all to relieve boredom.

"I'm sorry that you encountered these idiots. I know you are not afraid, but one more thing is worse than one less thing." The restaurant owner said: "It is neither fun nor profitable to fight with them. It mainly affects the mood of the meal. You said it is no?"

"Yes and no." Ge Gongdao shook his head, waved his hands, and said, "You don't have to worry about us. We will leave after eating these. They won't wake up before then."

"I understand. I won't disturb you anymore. I wish you a pleasant meal."

After the boss left, Zhuang Xuteng lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Dao, how did you feel just now?"

"They are too weak. There is no challenge at all. No matter how I fight, I will fight. But..." Brother Dao smiled and said: "Training is indeed useful. After entering the state, I feel that the world has slowed down. I can do whatever I want." How come? I won’t tell you here, many people are pricking up their ears! I know a place where you can experience it!”

"Hurry up and finish your meal. I'm so curious right now!" Zhuang Xuteng said while mincing the chicken and mixing the sauce: "Just looking at your actions, I think it's ordinary and I don't feel anything at all."

"I can completely understand." Ge Gongdao said: "You are basically at the same level as me. We are improving at the same time. Of course we won't notice it. Eat first, and you will know what I mean later."
