Chapter 23 23. Transaction

No. 29 Street, Dongcheng.

Gu Yao stood at the entrance of the long alley, looking around with vigilance. He tightened the shoulder strap of his backpack, lowered the brim of his hat, and then walked into a noodle shop nearby.

He sat in the corner and ordered a bowl of clear noodle soup, and then stared at the pedestrians coming and going in the alley.

As if he was looking for someone, the young man ate the noodles in the bowl without taking his eyes off the alley.

After Kankan took a few bites, his optical brain received a new message.

"I'm already here, where are you?"

Gu Yao speeded up, finished the noodles in a few mouthfuls, and then put down the star coins next to the table.

"Good morning, guest, welcome to visit again next time." The boss smiled kindly, making him look very kind.

The location of the noodle shop is very good, it is in the most conspicuous place where people come and go, but there are very few people who come into the noodle shop to eat noodles, only two or three people come in occasionally.

The young man waved his hand to the boss and dove into the crowd.

Both sides of the alley were piled with mechanical waste and domestic garbage, giving off a faint smell of decay.

Gu Yao frowned, obviously feeling uncomfortable.

Along the way, he passed by all kinds of people, and he concentrated on paying attention to the people around him.

The backpack was too conspicuous, so Gu Yao put it on her chest again.

The moment he adjusted the brim of his hat, there were about a dozen eyes on him, but when he lowered his hat and adjusted it, then put down his hand, all those eyes disappeared.

Based on the map provided by the other party, he turned left and right to find the meeting point.

During this period, he still did not avoid people with evil intentions. He knocked down or knocked out more than twenty people, large and small, and even shook off a dozen more.

He stood in front of the trading point. There were several flower pots neatly placed on both sides of the door.

The flowers bloomed just right, adding a touch of bright color to the gray and monotonous street.

Gu Yao raised his head and glanced at the name of the store:

"Xinxin Artificial Limb"

He called several times and knocked on the door. No one answered, so he pushed the door open and entered.

Street 29 in Dongcheng is the most chaotic place in Huanxing.

It is located under the cloud platform, at the bottom of all the ornately decorated buildings.

There is a high platform several kilometers long. Above the high platform is the Xinghai Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in Huanxing. Below the high platform is No. 29 Street.

The length of Street 29 is the same as that of Xinghai Hotel, but its width is less than half of the area occupied by Xinghai Hotel.

On both sides of the street, there are closely connected, towering residential buildings lined up. Behind the residential buildings are countless flat buildings, forming alleys of different sizes, which are very crowded.

But in such a small place, one-seventh of the total population of Phantom Star lives.

The residents here are mostly civilians, hunters, scavengers, many low-level professionals and wanderers.

The people living here basically live a life of licking blood from the knife edge.

Looking at Block 29, the environment is dirty, the security is chaotic, and the people are even more chaotic.

If you want to survive in this competitive environment that is more cruel than other places, few people still have kindness.

They all said that the high platform between 29th Street and Xinghai Hotel is a gap between the poor and the rich.

Above the high platform is heaven, and below the high platform is hell. The two form a sharp contrast.

Gu Yao walked into the shop, and the moment she opened the door, the wind chime behind the door started tinkling.

"Is there anyone there?" Gu Yao walked into the house and looked around, but found no one, only a small robot and a camera in the corner.

Gu Yao tried to communicate with the little robot, but found that it had no language communication mode at all, so she had to give up.

"Hello, is anyone there? I'm here to deliver the 'fat coffee'."

Still no one answered, Gu Yao relaxed slightly for a moment. He looked at the prosthetic products on the shelves and couldn't help but admire them.

He knows the goods and knows that everything on the shelves is valuable.

He bent down and looked at the prosthetics in the cabinet. The silver mechanical arms were dotted with gold, beads, or other decorations.

At this moment, a voice came from behind, and Gu Yao's body tensed up for a moment.

"The person here is still a child?"

Gu Yao turned around and saw a sexy-looking woman walking out of the room.

Yutan took a puff of cigarette and said, "What, there is no one in your 'noon'? Send a kid like you here?"

She seemed to be mocking and blew out the smoke. Her eyes were hidden in the smoke and were dim, "She looks pretty good, it's a pity."

Gu Yao didn't hear the other party's last words. He tightened the string in his heart and said, "It's a fair deal. I'll do it."

"A little brave." She put out the cigarette butt in her hand and walked up to Gu Yao with elegant steps. There was a charming look in her eyes and a hint of bewitchment in her voice. "Where's the goods, kid?"

"It's in the backpack," Gu Yao looked at the other person's suspicious expression, and subconsciously lowered his voice. "I don't have the money to buy a space organizer, and the more ordinary the dress is, the less people will notice it."

Yutan looked at the other party's clean hands and neck. Apart from a worn-out optical computer, there was no other equipment.

"Oh, right? It's quite safe. Then give it to me." She stretched out her white hand, and Gu Yao took a sneak look at it while she wasn't paying attention.

"What about what we want?"

Yutan didn't say anything, but just threw a space ring at the other party. After taking it, Gu Yao checked it with his mental power to make sure it was what he wanted, and then took off his backpack and handed it to the other party.

"Then celebrate the successful transaction." The young man smiled heartily, showed his fangs, put on his hat and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, I didn't tell you to leave."

As Yutan said, a large group of men in black instantly appeared in the small prosthetic shop.

"What do you mean, Boss Yu? There is no such clause in our contract." Gu Yao looked at Yu Tan in surprise, not understanding what the other party meant.

"Now you have to ask your head of the family.

We have done so many businesses, but it was not us who suffered a loss that time.

Even I personally took action, but your boss never came out once, and I haven't even seen him in person for more than a year."

Yutan paused and played with the electronic cigarette rod in his hand.

"This doesn't seem like a fair deal.

Today, I want to keep you and the goods.

I have already sent a message to your organization, if your boss still doesn’t show up after one day~"

Yutan chuckled, "Then they will prepare to collect your body."

Gu Yao smiled without any nervous expression on his face. He just said something unrelated.

"I heard that Boss Yu was once the daughter of a wealthy family?"

"Yes, so what?

It's all in the past, and it's not worth mentioning anymore." Yu Tanfu lit the cigarette again and took a puff. She tilted her head and looked at the boy, her long, slightly curly hair falling to one side as she moved.

"But I just noticed that Boss Yu has thick calluses on many places on his fingertips. It's not like... a young lady who doesn't touch her fingers."

Yu Tan put down the cigarette in his hand and turned his body, "I originally planned not to be so anxious, but now you make me very unhappy."

Her expression turned cold, and the air suddenly became a lot thicker at that moment.

Gu Yao felt a weight on his shoulders, as if a huge mountain was pressing on him.

Yutan turned around, facing away from the people in black and raised her hand.

Then he twisted his slim waist and walked towards the inner room.

"Boss Yu, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you."

The woman stopped, turned around and looked at the boy, clasping one hand on her chest. "When death is imminent, what else do you have to say?

If it's your last words, forget it. I won't bring them to your boss."

"Those were not my last words, and I didn't think I would be here today.

I just want to say, Boss Yu, people should not be too greedy.

How much benefit have you gained from our "Wu" and who has lost more, we "Wu" will not delve into it.

Our boss originally wanted to be friends with you sincerely, but you secretly dealt with our people. This is not a friendship between friends.

So our boss asked me to give you a message.

‘The appearance of eating is really ugly’.

And I forgot to tell you that the goods in the backpack are fake.
