Chapter 945: Chapter 6 Mechanical Godfather_2

"Alright, it’s getting late, and it’s rare to be back in reality. Everyone should really enjoy life," said Yu Manli as the sky darkened, inviting Tang Zheng and the others. "Do you have time? I’ll treat you to some fun?"

"Forget it, with women around, we can never really let loose, and besides, us rough guys aren’t suited for high-class places like clubs. It would be embarrassing for you if we caused a scene," Sha Ou declined, looking at Tang Zheng and suggesting, "How about we just find a bar or something to blow off some steam?"

"Then have fun," Yu Manli went on to invite Qin Yan and the others to foster camaraderie.

"Don’t even think about using going home as an excuse!" Zuo Yi stopped Tang Zheng’s potential excuse. "We are all combat mates who have been through life and death together. Don’t be such a stranger."

"Alright then, where to? I don’t know anything about this," Tang Zheng spread his hands helplessly, his life was monotonously close to being dull.

Zuo Yi and Sha Ou immediately set their gaze on Shen Qingshuang. Yao Feng, not knowing why, also turned to look.

"What are you guys doing?" Shen Qingshuang wiped off some cold sweat. "Why do I have to be familiar with these places?"

"Because you’re a successful person, so you must frequent bars to pick up girls. I’ve always been stuck in the barracks, and Sha Ou, well, he’s too busy with life, and the other two are still greenhorns. Of course, we’re counting on you to lead the way," Zuo Yi said as a matter of course, draping an arm over Shen Qingshuang’s shoulder with a laugh, "Maybe even teach us some of your pickup techniques."

"Yeah, Old Shen, no more excuses, hiding your tricks isn’t what good brothers do," Sha Ou also teased Shen Qingshuang, and soon they were all having a great time.

"A bar? I know one. It’s blue-colored and supposedly quite good," Yao Feng, not wanting to be left out, interjected to show off his knowledge.

"That settles it then. Let’s break up, and contact each other on our mobile phones if anything comes up," Tang Zheng waved goodbye, leaving the factory with the four men.

"Men are all the same," Ai Yixin commented with a slight pout and a laugh. "You guys too, be careful not to spoil Tang Zheng."

Qin Yan remained silent, while Li Xinlan just smiled indifferently; actually, both felt uncomfortable inside.

An hour later, the four novices followed Shen Qingshuang into a bar named Nightfire. Instantly, the raucous dance music and the wave of heat hit them, and even in winter, it couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the young people who were wildly gyrating on the dance floor.

Sha Ou, Zuo Yi, and Yao Feng were a bit dazzled, especially by the girls in revealing outfits, showing off much skin. Under the laser lights, there was an unusual temptation, and the three men new to the scene were overwhelmed.

Tang Zheng ordered a dozen beers and sat quietly, his mind, however, was on the recent gains and losses in the game and how to maximize the advantages of his team.

"What’s worrying you?" Shen Qingshuang tapped his beer bottle against Tang Zheng’s, took a sip, and asked, "I never thought I’d get to live life all over again, no, rather, it’s like the world has opened a new door for me. Just thinking about it feels thrilling."

"Do you like the Trojan Horse Game?" Tang Zheng looked at the man in surprise, not expecting him to have such a crazy idea.

"I wouldn’t say I like it, but life’s been so bland. Even outdoor survival and firearms are restricted. Where’s the fun in that? I want to do a lot of things, but life’s limitations held me back. Now I can enjoy myself to the fullest," Shen Qingshuang’s interests were broad, and he knew much. He always wanted to test his limits, and the brutal Trojan Horse Game matched his interests.

"Madman, come on, let’s have one," Zuo Yi shrugged and clinked his beer bottle with Shen Qingshuang’s before tilting his head back and downing it in one go.

Shen Qingshuang chuckled and wasn’t about to be outdone.

"Hey, I thought we were here to pick up girls, aren’t we? Let’s get moving," Yao Feng was impatient, his throat dry from the sight of the women in the dance floor.

Zuo Yi and Sha Ou were also urging on. They hadn’t settled down yet, and for all they knew, they could die next time, so of course, they wanted to have a bit of fun.

"You take them to play, I’m going to take a break," Tang Zheng refused, pulling out a storage card and starting to browse in detail. He was sitting in a booth in the corner, so he didn’t have to worry about being seen.

At first, Sha Ou and Zuo Yi were somewhat reserved, but in a short while, they got into the swing of things.

"Hey, handsome, do you mind if I sit here?" a girl came over and, without waiting for Tang Zheng to reply, sat down next to him, their bodies touching.

"Whatever," Tang Zheng glanced at her and lost interest immediately. The girl scored a sixty, pretty with light makeup, but he wasn’t interested in hunting for romance.

"Wow, you’ve got high standards," the girl was outgoing and cheerful, grabbing a bottle of beer from the table, opening it, and taking a swig before looking at Tang Zheng with disdain, "You’re really boring."

"Are you offering to sleep with me?" Tang Zheng suddenly blurted out, catching the girl off guard.

"You bastard," the girl cursed, on the verge of smashing the beer bottle on Tang Zheng’s head, but the cold look on his face made her tremble inside, and she didn’t dare to make a move.

"Isn’t that why you sat down here?" Tang Zheng’s right hand touched the girl’s thigh, "I like to cut to the chase. How much? Name your price!"

The girl’s lips moved, but she said nothing. She noticed Tang Zheng sitting alone, handsome and had thought about striking up a conversation. If his wallet were a bit fatter, she wouldn’t mind spending the night with him. But now that it was spelled out so bluntly, she felt uncomfortable.

"Hehe, listen to you," the girl chuckled, "Am I that kind of person?" Although she wasn’t professional, she had been with a few men before and was adaptable. Hearing Tang Zheng’s authoritative tone, she let go of her pride.

"Stay away from me, I have a job for you," Tang Zheng withdrew his hand, his gaze following Sha Ou as he struck up conversations with two different women and was snubbed both times, leaving him disheartened and crestfallen.

The corners of the girl’s mouth twitched, and she aggressively took another gulp of beer to vent her frustration.

"Later, you’ll accompany two men."

"Just me?" The girl didn’t refuse but instead asked if she was the only one involved, implying her agreement to the deal. Of course, the subtext was also asking Tang Zheng how much he was willing to pay.

"Can you handle it?" Tang Zheng was startled by the girl’s boldness, but with a poker face, he looked her up and down and said, "Go get your friend or whatever, pretend to pass by casually later, then strike up a conversation to keep my friends company, remember, the very honest ones."

The girl nodded but didn’t leave, apparently waiting for Tang Zheng to name his price.

"Three thousand each for a night, if they’re satisfied, I’ll double the price," Tang Zheng could see that Sha Ou and Zuo Yi genuinely wanted a romantic adventure, to let off some steam, but didn’t want to visit prostitutes, so he had to resort to this scheme.

"And you? Don’t you need company?" When she heard Tang Zheng’s offer, the girl’s eyes brightened, and she gazed at him longingly.

"Go, if they see you here, the deal is off," Tang Zheng didn’t even acknowledge the girl’s question, but handed her a few hundred as a down payment.

"What now?" The girl was about to leave when Tang Zheng stopped her.

"Take your empty beer bottle with you." Such an oversight would be too easy for Shen Qingshuang and Zuo Yi to see through.

When Zuo Yi and Sha Ou came back, they were quite downhearted, clearly having gained nothing.

"You guys should change into a different set of clothes and have your hair styled before coming here. Clothes make the man, just as a saddle makes a horse. Otherwise, you have to act like new rich," Shen Qingshuang took a swig of beer, leaning on the sofa, and laughed, "But no worries, you’ll get used to it after a few more tries."

Not even ten minutes had passed, and once the excitement had faded, Zuo Yi got bored and thought about leaving. However, he quickly dismissed the idea, because four girls walked over to them.

"You wouldn’t mind buying us a drink, would you?"

"Of course, not. Hey! Make some room for the ladies," Zuo Yi gave Sha Ou a light kick and winked at him, bubbling with joy. He originally thought the girls were approaching Tang Zheng or Shen Qingshuang, but to his delight, one girl sat next to him.

Shen Qingshuang was somewhat surprised; with his experience, he could tell these were materialistic girls and wondered why they didn’t pick Tang Zheng or himself but chose Zuo Yi and Sha Ou instead. He looked towards Tang Zheng but couldn’t see any reaction; the Group Leader’s expression was too calm. (To be continued.
