Free Web NovelChapter 77: Chapter 77: Wipe Them All Out in One Go
Lin Jiao and the others immediately came out of the bank. Using the dim light, they surrounded the motorcycle after Lu Feng got off.
They couldn’t help but be amazed.
They had never seen such a two-wheeled vehicle in person. Before the apocalypse, they had only seen them in books and videos.
After levitation technology was developed, these small motorcycles were the first things to be replaced.
They never thought their boss would get his hands on such a vintage motorcycle.
Right then, Lin Jiao and the others felt just like modern people seeing a vintage car from the 1950s—they couldn’t help but be drawn in and even gather around for a closer look.
Lu Feng paid them no mind. Once he reached the bank stronghold, he exited the game with a single thought.
He needed to monitor the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps through the game’s display, keeping track of their movements at all times. The moment they mobilized, he had to be ready to lead his own people.
But as he continued to monitor and wait, Lu Feng noticed there was no movement from Zhuangyuan District. By the time a full night had passed, he felt something was off.
The Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps wouldn’t be this slow to react; after all, when he’d dealt with two of their members previously, reinforcements had arrived almost immediately.
Lu Feng was no fool. He guessed the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps was probably playing the long game, waiting for his side to wear themselves out.
’Aren’t they worried we’ll run away?’
’Or are they just that confident they can track us down?’ freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
In any case, he found himself in an awkward predicament: he was exhausted but had no idea when the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps would show up.
He figured Lin Jiao and the others hadn’t rested all night either.
’What the hell...’
The Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps wasn’t following the script.
Under these circumstances, Lu Feng had no choice but to hold out until noon, but there was still no sign of movement from the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps.
Resigned, he entered the game with a thought and appeared before Lin Jiao and the others.
Sure enough, their faces were etched with exhaustion; they clearly hadn’t rested either.
Lu Feng had no choice but to gather everyone. He arranged for Xu Bin and Wang Cheng to take the sisters, Cheng Yaoyao and Cheng Sisi, and leave the bank to hide nearby. The technical data from the bank’s database was, of course, also moved out to prevent it from being destroyed in an explosion. Then, he had Lin Jiao, Chen Tao, and Chen Hao—the ones with laser rifles—take turns resting and standing guard over the bank from a concealed position.
If anyone from the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps showed up, a shot from a laser rifle at one of the modified gas canisters would still set off an explosion.
He did this because he was worried he might accidentally fall asleep while on watch.
This would add another layer of security.
With the arrangements made, Lu Feng took the Honda Phantom motorcycle with him as he logged out of the game again. He then rode back to Youcheng to grab a bite to eat.
All the while, he kept checking on the situation in the game world inside his head.
Unfortunately, night fell, and the hours crept into the dead of night, yet there was still no sign of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps.
He had to admit it: the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps’ strategy of wearing him down had worked.
He was incredibly drowsy now, his eyelids fighting to stay open.
But he also knew that in a situation like this, the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps was most likely to strike tonight.
His phone rang. It was Chen Bo’s number.
He pressed answer, and Chen Bo’s voice came through: "Young Master Feng, want to come hang out at Ultimate Bar? I got a BOSS table, and I called Yang Ming and the guys over too."
"Sure, I’m on my way," Lu Feng agreed.
He was exhausted, and figured the bar’s throbbing music might be just what he needed to stave off sleep.
A moment later, Lu Feng appeared at Ultimate Bar on his Honda Phantom.
The moment he stepped inside, the DJ’s booming voice assaulted his ears: "A huge thank you to Boss Chen at the BOSS table for buying a Full House dance for all 42 of our lovely ladies—that’s 100 for each of you! Wishing Brother Ming, Brother Lin, Brother Pao, Brother Shui, Brother Xiang... a fun night and overflowing wealth!"
Lu Feng walked in to see Chen Bo buying a Full House. ’Such a show-off.’
This "Full House" was basically just a way to flex by throwing money around. Even at 100 per girl, 42 girls added up to over 4,200.
4,200 for a five-minute dance? In a small city like this, what regular patron would dare to throw money around like that?
So, as the 42 girls performed their heated dance, the other patrons could only look on in envy.
Lu Feng didn’t have much of an opinion on it. After all, Chen Bo had earned 1.75 million on their last venture together; it was only natural he’d want to splurge a bit. For guys like him who ran in these circles, face was everything.
This was how they usually operated. Besides, the bar was full of other people who ran in the same Youcheng circles.
When the 42 girls finished their "Full House" dance, Chen Bo and Yang Ming spotted Lu Feng. They both hurried over to greet him, respectfully inviting him to take the center seat at the BOSS table.
Chen Bo had already summoned a nearby promoter, whispering instructions in his ear while simultaneously transferring him some money.
The DJ’s booming voice echoed through the club once more: "Another thank you to Boss Chen at the BOSS table for gifting a Full House dance to all 42 ladies, this time for 300 each! Wishing their boss, Young Master Feng, a fantastic night and overflowing wealth!"
This time, Chen Bo had publicly referred to Lu Feng as his boss—it was his way of showing respect.
This announcement naturally brought wide smiles to the faces of all the girls at the bar.
They could spend a whole night drinking with a client and sometimes only get a 300-yuan tip—and sometimes they’d get nothing at all.
There was no shortage of customers like that—guys who would take full advantage and then refuse to tip.
But now, this Boss Chen had bought another Full House, giving them 300 yuan each. He’d just dropped 12,600 in one go. Now *that* was a big spender.
The 42 girls immediately launched into another energetic dance, their eyes, of course, all locked on Lu Feng. Each one was eager to show off her assets.
After all, they knew who this "Full House" was really for.
This Young Master Feng was clearly a bigger deal than Boss Chen.
Naturally, the name "Young Master Feng" caught the attention of many other patrons in the bar. Most of them were part of the local scene and had, to some extent, heard of him.
This prompted many of them to glance toward another table, where the one and only Boss He Jin was sitting.
Everyone knew that Boss He used to be the top dog in Youcheng’s social hierarchy.
But recently, the word on the street was that this Young Master Feng could go toe-to-toe with Boss He.
Now that the two of them were in the same room, there was sure to be a good show.
However, things didn’t go as they expected. They watched as Boss He actually stood up, walked over to Young Master Feng’s table, and respectfully poured him a drink.
"Young Master Feng, a toast to you," He Jin said, beaming. After their last encounter, he knew better than to provoke this man. So, running into him now, he naturally had to humble himself and try to smooth things over.
Lu Feng remembered He Jin. But as the saying goes, you don’t hit a smiling face. Since the man came to offer a toast, Lu Feng gave him face and accepted the drink.
He Jin smiled and clinked glasses with Lu Feng, but he made sure to lower his own glass slightly—a clear gesture of respect.
This scene left everyone who knew the backstory completely dumbfounded.
So much for the rumors about Young Master Feng being able to go toe-to-toe with Boss He. This looked more like Boss He was terrified of offending him.
It was truly astonishing.
It seemed that from now on, the one person you couldn’t afford to cross in Youcheng was this Young Master Feng.
After taking a sip of his drink, Lu Feng’s focus instinctively snapped back to the game world in his mind. Just moments ago, within the game’s Zhuangyuan District, a convoy of hover-trucks had begun to roll out.
The trucks were filled with fully-armed men, their numbers likely approaching 200.
’The Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps is on the move.’
’So they really are coming tonight?’
Seeing this, Lu Feng snapped back to the present. He turned to Yang Ming and Chen Bo. "Cousin, something’s come up and I have to go take care of it. You guys have fun."
As he spoke, he waved over the nearby promoter.
The promoter hurried over respectfully. "Young Master Feng, what can I do for you?"
After all, both Boss Chen and Boss He treated this Young Master Feng with the utmost respect.
This man was the real big shot.
"Give me the QR code," Lu Feng said to the promoter. Once the man presented it, Lu Feng scanned it and transferred 42,000. "Buy a ’Full House’ for the whole floor," he added. "A thousand for each girl. Wish all my brothers at the BOSS table a great night!"
Since he was out at the bar with his cousin, Chen Bo, and the others, he might as well go with the flow.
Besides, with He Jin here, he had to make sure his cousin and the others looked good.
Most importantly, he could afford it, so he didn’t care about the amount.
The promoter, however, was stunned. He’d worked at Ultimate Bar for a long time, but this was the first time he’d ever seen anyone throw cash around so extravagantly.
To be more precise, in a small city like Youcheng, he had never seen someone spend this lavishly on a "Full House" dance.
A moment later, the DJ’s booming voice resounded once more: "A massive thank you to Young Master Feng from the BOSS table, for gifting a Full House dance to all 42 of our ladies for 1,000 each! Wishing all the brothers at the BOSS table a fantastic night!"
This time, the girls all gasped in astonishment.
A "Full House" was free money. This was 1,000 yuan handed to them on a silver platter. They could drink themselves half to death on some nights and still not earn a 1,000-yuan tip.
This Young Master Feng was incredibly generous.
Soon, the 42 girls began to dance again, but this time with exceptional energy and a much more provocative flair.
The point was, each girl had just made 1,400 yuan in tips from this one table alone. None of them wanted to leave; after all, that was more than enough to "lock them in" for the night.
Just like that, it was as if every girl in the bar was now entertaining Chen Bo and Yang Ming’s table.
This left all the other patrons feeling utterly dejected. Tonight, they had well and truly witnessed the pleasures of the wealthy with their own two eyes.
It was the kind of money-splashing scene that was truly enviable.
Lu Feng, however, walked straight out of the bar. He didn’t even care that he’d had a drink; he just hopped on his Honda Phantom and headed straight home.
The moment he got home, his attention was back on the game, panning the camera to find the members of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps.
He found them quickly. Against the darkness of the map, the lights of the hover-trucks were dazzlingly bright. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Lu Feng continued to track the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps by panning the camera in the game. Since they were following the exact same route he had taken earlier, he never lost sight of them.
Finally, the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps reached the vicinity of the bank, and their hover-trucks ground to a halt.
Gray Wolf was sitting in the lead hover-truck. Before him rested a special holographic computer. As long as he had it with him, the people back at his base would have to toe the line, even in his absence.
Furthermore, he planned to personally fasten electronic shackles on these new captives and input their control protocols into this very computer.
Behind him, two hounds were held on leashes by his men. With these dogs, he could guarantee no target would ever escape his grasp.
A man at his side immediately reported, "Commander, the locator on the hover-truck Scar’s team was driving is just ahead. If the map’s right, it’s at a bank."
Hearing this, Gray Wolf sneered. "Looks like they’ve completely let their guard down. Perfect. We’ll take them all out in one fell swoop."
