Infinite Sims - Chapter 283
Kent City is the southernmost city in Shipp.
Adjacent to Mogago, which is rich in hallucinogenic drugs, it is the largest city for hallucinogenic drug trading in Hipp, with the highest crime rate in Hipp all year round.
Here, instant riches happen every day.
In the eyes of many outsiders, this place is both heaven and hell.
The difference is that, compared to other cities that hide the filth under the appearance of politeness and kindness, this is on the bright side.
For ordinary people living in it.
It’s just a terrible city, they want to leave, but they don’t have the money to leave, so they can only continue to struggle here.
Maybe live a peaceful life, maybe get rich overnight, or die in some unknown corner.
“It’s time for dinner.”
Jiang Ren glanced at the colorful lights outside and the snowflakes slowly falling from the sky, then turned back to the house and put on a down jacket to keep out the cold.
When he came to the mirror at the entrance, a wave of evil energy poured out from his body, covering his face and hair.
In just a few breaths, Jiang Ren changed his appearance.
Turned into a dark-haired, oriental-faced old man.
Breathing in the heat, Jiang Ren walked out of the house and took the elevator downstairs.
The more chaotic the city, the more orderly the core bustling areas.
This is not a special case or an unspoken rule, but some people who have obtained enough benefits from the chaos actively maintain order for their own better life.
The area where Jiang Ren now lives is one of the few wealthy areas in the city.
Not only the official Hip-up forces, but also many private armed forces are responsible for security, and the latter is the main reason for the stability of this area.
“Ten Taste Restaurant.”
Jiang Ren carried the light snow to the side of the road, got into a taxi, and went straight to a restaurant on the edge of this wealthy area.
The driveway was a bit crowded, and it was already ten minutes later when we arrived at the restaurant.
The restaurant is a typical western style, but there is no lack of oriental sophistication in the details.
At this time, the end of dinner was approaching, but there were still many guests at Shiwei Restaurant. From their satisfied expressions, it could be seen that the taste of this restaurant was very popular.
“Mr. Jiang, what would you like to eat today?”
As soon as Jiang Ren entered the restaurant, a middle-aged man greeted him with a smile on his face.
Forty-five-six, tall and thin, with shoulder-length hair tied into a ponytail, wearing the shop’s work uniform, the job title column on his chest reads “Store Manager-Phoenix”.
Don’t obey the smiles of other shop clerks that make it difficult to see the real and fake.
His smile seemed a little stiff, like a programmed routine.
“Do you know the blind box?” Jiang Ren looked at him.
Phoenix tentatively said, “A toy box with random properties?”
Jiang Ren smiled: “So, please bring me a dish with random attributes, I want to experience the feeling of surprise.”
“Okay, Mr. Jiang.”
Phoenix welcomed Jiang Ren into a place he liked, a corner near the window, and brought up water and snacks before entering the back kitchen.
“Phoenix, are you here to help?”
Seeing him come in, asked Lyle, a waitress who was putting dishes on a plate.
“Do not.”
Phoenix walked past him briefly, picking up the menu on the table next to him.
Lyle was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded: “Boss?”
The manager’s work ability is very strong, but his personality is a little weird. The only person who can make him do this is the boss.
Phoenix nodded, flipped through the menu, and reported several dish names to a chef who had just been vacated.
Seeing this, Lyle picked up the dish and prepared to leave. When he came to the door, he turned back curiously and asked, “I have a friend who said that I saw you taking the lead in protesting the demolition of the orphanage a few days ago, is this true? ”
Phoenix didn’t hide it, nodded: “Yes.”
Seeing that he had not left after hearing the answer, Phoenix asked, “Is there anything else?”
Lyle hesitated and said, “I heard that the land in the area of the orphanage is related to the plan for the next rich district in the city. There are many high-level figures in the city behind it. If you protest against the demolition, bad things may happen. .”
A stiff smile appeared on Phoenix’s face: “Thank you for your kindness.”
Lyle shook his head: “Phoenix, what I said is true, you’d better stop going.”
Phoenix’s expression didn’t change: “That’s where I grew up.”
“Uh… sorry.”
Lyle’s expression froze, turned and left the kitchen.
Although Phoenix didn’t say it explicitly, it could be seen from his expression and tone that it was impossible for him to stop participating in the protests.
And from what I know these days, he knows that the store manager is not a person who can easily change his mind.
“I didn’t expect it to be so popular.”
Jiang Ren looked at the diners in the restaurant with a little emotion.
More than half a month ago, he came to the city to stock up on this restaurant, spent a few days to slightly remodel it, and trained the chefs and waiters, and then opened this restaurant, which focuses on oriental dishes.
Originally, I opened this restaurant just to observe the Second Apostle Reserve up close and satisfy my appetite. I didn’t think about making money.
But in just over half a month, this restaurant has already become famous.
“Last night there was another earthquake in Hobart that killed thousands…”
There were several men sitting at a table next to them, talking about a foreign news, and the voice entered Jiang Ren’s ears.
“No way, is this the first time?”
“From their official data, this should be the fifth time spanning less than half a month.”
“Hobart officially said that the earthquake was caused by the aftermath of the battle between two powerful groups of polar people, and I don’t know if it was true or not.”
“A battle that can trigger that kind of earthquake, the two sides of the battle are not in the top ten in the world, and it’s not much different, right?”
“Those are all human-shaped nuclear bombs, because the relationship between the global agreement is limited to a certain area, and even if you go to the next city, you have to apply. How can it come out so easily, it must be fake.”
“I see, they’re just making excuses for their incompetence.”
“It deserves it. It’s better to have a few more earthquakes. The more monkeys die, the better. Thinking that the same skin color as us is like us, are they worthy?”
“The descendants of a group of criminals, shameless is their nature, is this not normal?”
After a few people said, they began to ridicule the people of Hobart.
“An earthquake?”
Jiang Ren retracted his attention, picked up the water glass and took a sip.
There are many people who want to arrest him, but there is only one who has the most power and strength, and that is Anthony, who is a teacher and student with him.
This once million-year-old second child is now the world’s first person.
When Jiang Ren left the prison, Anthony was still in retreat.
I have a general understanding of this world, and naturally I will not forget this matter.
Pressing Anthony’s exit time, he faked his identity and rushed to Hobart in advance, and deliberately showed some tricks to lead him there.
With Anthony’s strength and status, it is difficult to go to Hobart on the other side of the earth. Needless to say, the complicated procedures are not necessary to obtain approval in the end.
And with his vigilance towards himself, he would never trust others to take action.
Therefore, he will inevitably disguise his identity and go quietly.
Such a human-shaped nuclear bomb, no matter what the reason for his appearance.
Those countries in the East, especially Zhao, who presented an East-West confrontation with Shipp, would definitely not allow them to move freely.
Even taking advantage of the lack of protective power around Anthony, he will use a large number of powerful people to kill him and leave it in Hobart forever.
The facts are just as Jiang Ren guessed.
After sending the news to Da Zhao, in less than two days, Da Zhao sent several top 100 players to Hobart and fought with Anthony, which caused the Hobart earthquake.
The second and third battles soon followed.
As for the two games in the past few days, it is not a question of whether Anthony is willing to leave Hobart, but that Da Zhao will not let this good opportunity to solve him.
“Although Anthony just died like this, I’d be happy.”
“But with his strength, unless Da Zhao sends all the top forces, it is impossible to keep him in the face of Anthony who doesn’t want to fight to his death.”
“But in a short time, he doesn’t even want to escape.”
“When he comes back, his physical condition is definitely not good. With his life-saving character, I’m afraid he won’t dare to go out until he recovers from the injury.”
“In this way, I can also have enough time to develop the layout.”
It didn’t take long for the dishes to be served.
Jiang Ren admired the night outside the window, and leisurely settled his dinner.
When the chopsticks were put down, it was already half an hour later.
There were only two tables of guests left in the restaurant, and they had all finished eating and were packing up and preparing to leave.
“It’s an hour before closing.”
Jiang Ren looked at the time and called Phoenix: “If you don’t have any guests, get off work early.”
Phoenix nodded: “Okay, thank you Mr. Jiang.”
I usually get off work at 21:00, but now it’s only 19:41. Even if I add hygiene time, I can still get off work at 20:00.
With the same salary, it is undoubtedly a joy to have an extra hour of free time.
The last two tables of guests checked out and left, and the sanitation in the restaurant was finished soon after, and as the lights went out, everyone came out of the restaurant.
After the five shop assistants and three chefs thanked Jiang Ren, they left happily, thinking about what leisure activities to do with the extra hour.
Phoenix was calling a taxi for Jiang Ren before saying goodbye and leaving.
“From tonight, your peaceful life will be irrelevant to you.”
Jiang Ren watched Phoenix disappear into the crowd, sat in the car calmly, reported the address to the driver, and closed his eyes to rest.
History has a powerful inertia.
Even if some things change because of their influence, many things still happen.
Just wait, wait for the right moment…
