Night Hacker Chapter 2: The fish pond izakaya in Shouhui Street
It was drizzling in the night sky, and the neon signs and old-fashioned lanterns on Shouhui Street dyed the falling rain into a dark red, and the crowded passers-by were either holding umbrellas or letting the rain fall. The rain is messy, various signboards such as "Elephant Bar", "HellGames", "Star Plastic Surgery", and "Golden Club" are messy, and the buildings submerged in the darkness in the distance are also messy.
One of the signboards exudes brilliant blue and purple light, "Li Cai Club".
On the advertising screen under the signboard, the faces of handsome young men are constantly changing.
V-necks, shiny jewelry, and leopard-print fur jackets, the handsome guys dressed in this way are either feminine or masculine.
There are also those who wear coquettish women's clothes, and even the facial features seem to have undergone plastic surgery, with snake-like faces.
Li Cai, a famous Cowherd Club.
Gu He was standing at the door of the club watching, he was dumbfounded.
"Come on, follow me."
Caiyin Kumiko led the way, and people who entered and left the club respectfully called "Mom" before passing by.
"Miss Caiyin, can you tell me about your plan for me?"
While walking, Gu He saw all kinds of cowherds in women's clothing and all kinds of coquettish killer hairstyles flashing on the advertising screen, feeling uneasy, how would he be positioned...
"A cowherd must be handsome, strong, eloquent, knowledgeable, considerate, know how to please people, and know how to sell drinks. You must have these aspects, but well."
Caiyin Kumiko looked back at him, showing that mysterious look again.
"That's just a requirement for an ordinary cowherd, but you are the man who wants to be the night king! Then you must be a special cowherd.
"For the time being, I can only tell you that this kind of cowherd is different from ordinary cowherds and ordinary people. He has extraordinary special talents and abilities, and specializes in receiving special guests."
Extraordinary special cowherd?
Gu He was a little confused by her words. Before, Brother Zhuang said that Miss Caiyin wanted special talents.
Come on, Cowherd is special enough, what more special...
"But because of this rarity, ordinary people can't make it. I think you have potential, Xiao He, but you may not be able to make it."
Ayane Kumiko couldn't be sure, "We'll have to look again, so I'm going to take you to meet someone who can identify whether you have that kind of extraordinary talent. If not, you can only be an ordinary cowherd , that's not bad."
The night rain and neon lights fell, making her smile psychedelic and intoxicating.
"Oh." Gu He agreed with a half understanding.
Compared to the game gang on this street who was returned by Miss Caiyin, it should be better here.
And if you look at it, you will find that Niu Lang is a handsome male psychologist who is very good at selling wine, performing arts and selling himself...
No matter how special it is, how special can it be.
But he was still a little uneasy, "Miss Caiyin, I want to ask, why do you have a director's viewfinder hanging on your body?"
"This?" Caiyin Kumiko lifted the viewfinder, pulled out its telescopic zoom lever, stretched it and stretched it, and said heartily: "It's a fashion decoration, and it's also a symbol. Cowboys can see other people's eyes. The heart can also grow like this."
"..." Gu He was relieved, it was because he didn't see through...
"Come, this way." She swayed her graceful figure and continued walking.
He thought he was going into the club, but followed him into the narrow alleyway, came to the back of the club building, and walked into a small shop door with a "Open Later" sign.
The old noren curtain on the store door and the malfunctioning and flickering neon sign beside the door all read "Fish Pond Izakaya".
The hall of the izakaya is not big, with a bar on one side, small dining tables on the other, and a wooden sofa in the corner.
The fiery red curtains and lanterns are swaying slowly, reflecting the decoration of various paintings on the walls.
There is a corridor aisle over there, and at the end of the aisle is a closed metal door, which is obviously connected to the Licai Club, and the lively voices, singing and dancing, and women's laughter can be vaguely heard from here.
"Old Fan! I may have found the seedling we want." Caiyin Kumiko shouted as soon as she entered the door.
Gu He saw that besides the two of them, there was only one person in the store, mixing wine in the open kitchen behind the bar.
Looking beyond the cowboy door on the side of the bar, you can clearly see that it is a middle-aged man.
Sparse hair, short and fat body like a wine barrel, big face and thick neck, a pair of flip flops, a dark blue chef uniform and apron, with a line of text printed on the chef uniform: wide hearted and fat
"Fan Debao." Caiyin Kumiko solemnly introduced, "The store manager of the fish pond, and the partner of Licai Club."
"Old Fan, what do you think of Xiaohe?" She asked immediately after the introduction.
Fan Debao was expressionless, like a large plastic mannequin, sizing up Gu He, "Is this the wild dog?"
"Well, I have a feeling, he should have extraordinary talent; and he is calm, observant, and can talk, he can eat cowherd rice."
Although Caiyin Kumiko is very optimistic, Fan Debao is still not very happy, "The talent is not obvious, at most an ordinary cowherd."
"Old Fan..." she lowered her voice, "I've been searching for so long, I can't go on blindly. To find a seedling, you still need to observe, cultivate and adapt. Things are urgent there, and we don't have much time left. Maybe Xiaohe is the puzzle piece."
"But if you screw a wild dog like this, you are not only blind, but also very dangerous."
"It's not casual. There are not many talented people among the wild dogs who have no influence. They don't come here casually."
She clasped her hands together and bowed to Lao Fan, as if praying to God and Buddha, "I really think it can do it, please take the trouble to test it?"
"I'll give him a chance." Fan Debao took out an empty glass, "The money spent on this material will be credited to your account."
"Okay! Since when did I ever trade at a loss? Even if he doesn't have the talent, there are ways to get back the money." Caiyin Kumiko was full of expectations, "Let's test it tonight!"
Gu He looked around while listening to what the two of them had to say.
The more I listened, the more I was a little afraid of what the **** was the special cowherd they were talking about. There were two cowherds? Still no cows?
At this time, Caiyin Kumiko turned around and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiaohe, you can stay in the fish pond for now, I will clear your debts from the game gang for you, and then I will find a way to solve it for you." a legitimate identity.
"However, the atmosphere is a bit tight this year, and legal status cannot be rushed, but if you are here, no one will come to arrest you.
"You don't have to worry about these, just follow Lao Fan and work hard! Alright, I'll go to the club first."
After finishing speaking, the radiant Caiyin Kumiko walked through the small passage, opened the metal door, and some resplendent and feasting scenes entered through the door, reflecting in front of Gu He's eyes.
Soon the door closed again, blocking the hustle and bustle of the club on the other side.
In the fish pond izakaya, there are only two men left, one tall and thin and one short and fat.
Fan Debao didn't say anything, just walked to a large wine cabinet in the kitchen with a wooden face, took out a bottle of corked wine from it, poured a glass of wine into the glass, passed it to Gu He when he came back, and said:
"Drink this glass of wine, drink it all in one breath, don't waste a drop."
"Uh, this is?"
Gu He saw that the wine glass was filled with a viscous liquid, with bubbles churning inside, sometimes red and sometimes black. He didn't know how much mixture was added, and it exuded a strong strange smell.
This thing doesn't look like something you can drink...
"Follow me to learn, first learn not to be wordy. This is used to test whether you have extraordinary talent."
Fan der Bao suddenly had a bad face, "Even if you don't have it, you can still replenish your body. Drinking it can make you gain muscle and hair better, and change from a dog to a cow."
No, Gu He looked hesitantly at Fan Debao's thin, round cut hair... More hair?
"Actually, what kind of talent is it?" He held up the wine glass with both hands, his throat moved, but he still couldn't put his mouth out.
"Do you insist that I drink it for you?" Fan der Bao said in a deep voice.
Gu He had nothing to do. Although Fan Debao was wearing something with a big heart and a fat body, this old guy was obviously short-tempered, and he would be beaten if he said a few more words.
Well, he held his breath, raised his head and drank the glass of wine into his stomach.
His throat was burning, and his whole body felt like he was being burned by fire. He couldn't help scratching his ears and cheeks.
It's not right, it's not right...
Why did he feel that there was something weird about Fan der Bao's fat face like a plastic mold.
There is an old wooden box TV on the side of the bar, and there are audio equipment with karaoke and other interfaces under the TV box, which can be used by customers to sing.
Fan der Bao took the remote control and turned on the TV ~IndoMTL.com~ broadcast this year's "Supermodel Contest".
"Boy, show me TV, don't miss it."
"There seems to be something wrong with this wine..."
Gu He was already dizzy, and those bikini supermodels showed perfect body curves, which made him feel even more uncomfortable...
"First gear, second gear, third gear, fourth gear, fifth gear, sixth gear, overdrive."
Van der Bao said fiercely, "This is the seventh speed of nerve activity."
"Wine and beautiful women are both to activate your nerves and test your nerve speed, which is a combination of your physical talent and spiritual talent. Wherever the limit can go, there is your extraordinary talent level.
"Ordinary people can go up to second gear; only when they can get into third gear can they pass the threshold; those who can reach overdrive are rare.
"Only those who have reached the fourth speed gear and whose nerve speed is stronger than ordinary extraordinary talents are qualified to become doll professionals. Male dolls are also the so-called extraordinary cowherds."
As Fan Debao said, he watched Gu He intently.
"Unleash your potential and see where you can go."
"The talent test you mentioned, is it serious..." Gu He was stunned, what kind of method is this?
"Beauty is just a natural way to activate and speed up your nerves, primitive, but effective and safe. If you think this is out of style, I have other videos here, but weird, dangerous, indescribable, and the consequences Unexpected."
Gu He was already a little dizzy, as if he was about to break from drinking, but Lao Fan's mysterious words made him even more confused.
This is even more terrible, what if it is a videotape of a strong man wrestling...
"No, just this, just this, I like to be safe..."
