Run into the world

Chapter 156 Encountering Mr. Zhao by chance

Sometimes thinking is really important. Duan Muxiang defeated Marissa’s most criticized point with just one sentence!
"Yes, I can use the different time difference between the illusion and reality to practice. No matter how many years have passed in the illusion, I will not change when I come out!"

boom!
Marissa stood up suddenly and bounced the stool away, "Yes, there is another way, uh, what should I do if I encounter the illusion of reverse jet lag?"

Duan Muxiang rolled her eyes at her, "Martial arts practice is all about bravery and diligence. How can you become a master if you are afraid of wolves before and tigers behind? What's more, the illusion of reverse jet lag is relatively rare. If you don't dare to give it a try, , then it’s better to stay away from Shen Meng’er, so as not to waste Qing Qing’s life.”

Marissa's face was full of confusion, "What does my poor martial arts have to do with Shen Menger?"

Duan Muxiang looked at her, crossed her arms and crossed her legs, "Do you know why I can only marry into the bride? Because I am a useless person, and women in the Red Kingdom like strong men! Of course, if you don't mind marrying into the bride, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Marissa suddenly realized, twisting her body slightly and showing off her biceps with her arms, "I'm very strong!"

Duan Muxiang grinned, a bit unclear to this foreign lady, "It's not that she is so strong on the outside, Shen Menger is not so superficial. What's more, you were like this when you were passionately in love with her?"

"Yes! Meng'er likes strong people like me." Marissa patted her chest duangduang as she spoke.

The corners of Duanmuxiang's eyes twitched wildly, and she glanced at Marissa's exaggerated chest muscles, and suddenly she understood a little bit.Psychology believes that the formation of personality must be related to experience.Does Shen Meng'er hate men and lack fatherly love?
"Okay, let's not talk about this topic for now. Let's not talk about whether you are strong or not. You must be healthy! If you can't solve the problem of body explosion, you won't be able to continue practicing. Don't you think that just relying on three The Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung of the first level can be used to your advantage!"

Marissa stopped talking, sat down honestly again, and then found that the stool was gone.

Duan Muxiang took a deep breath and said, "From today on, during this period of time in Hong Kong Island, you will train with me, and I will try to bring you to the peak of dark strength in a short period of time, so that you can initially restrain your muscles. If your talent is really that good, I might be able to forcibly lift you up by buying some precious medicinal materials!"

Marissa was a little embarrassed, "Is this the exercise method Aunt Lu mentioned? This... no need!"

Duan Muxiang's face turned solemn, she raised her finger and made a muffled sound. The heat in the air made Marissa's mouth go dry instantly. Something pierced her ear, and a dozen strands of her hair were broken and slowly fell down.

"There is an old saying in the Chi Kingdom that warns people not to judge people by their appearance. In the same way, don't underestimate anyone because of their low superficial level! Let me ask you a question, do you want to learn from it?"

"Learn! Can you teach me the trick just now?"

"..."

……

It was already evening when Duan Muxiang and Marissa landed from the port. There was no one at the port. They obviously entered the port through the regular way, but it turned out to be like stowaway.

"What should we do next? Should we find a hotel?"

Marisa looked into the distance. Logically speaking, there wouldn't be that many high-rise buildings after the disaster, but if you look up, you can still see some buildings with more than ten floors.

"Rich people are willful. Every time one of these high-rise buildings is piled up, the wood must be reinforced with special methods, and the cost is astronomical. It's really ridiculous to exaggerate like this just to save face."

Duan Muxiang glanced at it and hummed: "None of these buildings are paid for by Chiguo people. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because after the catastrophe, the Red Kingdom reduced all its military forces to ensure the stability of the inland areas, there was a problem of empty combat power here. According to normal logic, all countries in the world should shrink their military forces to ensure the security and stability of their homelands, but not all countries' leaders All levels will act according to normal logic. A group of foreigners took the opportunity to enter, and the place suddenly became chaotic."

Marissa smiled and scratched her head, "There shouldn't be any beneficial countries in the country you mentioned, right? And how do you know so much about it?"

Duan Muxiang was funny, "Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Nowadays, among the countries that are causing trouble here, which one has not experienced unrest? You only need to read the newspapers every day to know it. This can only be said that they are doing their own evil, right? They completely underestimated the significant impact of the disaster. As for the country...if the Continental Hotel is not included, it really doesn’t have anything to do with the country.”

Marissa hesitated to speak, hesitated to speak, and finally almost cried.

"If you have something to say, just say it!"

"You seem to have a strong prejudice against the Continental Hotel?"

Duanmuxiang walked forward without looking back, "Have you ever played games when you were a child?"

"I've played before. My family's conditions are pretty good. Before the disaster, I liked playing on the console the most." Marissa said with some nostalgia.

Duan Muxiang nodded and continued: "According to the game, I belong to the lawful good camp. Of course I look down on people like the Continental Hotel, but I don't have time to hate them, as long as they don't mess with me."

"Oh... Well, actually I have some background in the Li country mafia... How about we stay at the Continental Hotel."

Duan Muxiang paused, then looked back at her, "Okay! You pay." "It should, it should!"

Marissa happily led the way. In fact, she could see the building of the Continental Hotel from far away.

Speaking of which, foreigners don’t know where they found the designers. The interior decoration of the Continental Hotel is clearly European hotel design, but the exterior looks like a straight-up business building, with a herringbone-like tile roof on the top floor. , just highlight one thing that is neither fish nor fowl.

Looking at the overall appearance, Duan Muxiang suddenly thought of Xu Qian in the past. Well, he also had extremely bad taste. Is it possible that this thing can also be of the same origin?
While thinking wildly, Duan Muxiang and Marissa entered the Continental Hotel. As soon as they entered, Marissa felt a little at home. She reached out and pushed a special coin to the front desk.

"I need two rooms."

"Good lady."

Duan Muxiang followed him upstairs. He originally thought he had to take the stairs, but it turned out that there was an elevator installed in the lobby. The sound of the gears turning as he went up and down made him want to laugh a little. He didn't know what kind of power the elevator was powered by. of.

Marissa casually gave him a few coins, "This special coin is a special currency issued by Gaotai Table. Each coin can ask the companies under Gaotai Table to do one thing. Things may be big or small, but generally they are not excessive. If so, no one will refuse.”

Duan Muxiang was no stranger to this stuff. He had seen some in his previous life and put it in his pocket. "There's no rush. We can take our time."

"If you are not in a hurry, you two guests can wait for two days. There will be an internal auction in two days." The waiter who led the way was doing his best to sell.

Duan Muxiang asked curiously: "What kind of auction?"

"They are some items that are very likely to turn into doors of illusion."

Duan Muxiang understood when he heard it. It turned out to be this kind of gambling-style auction. Haha, it was really exciting.

This kind of auction is actually very common, and it is not exclusive to the dark world. You can also see this kind of auction items in official auction houses from time to time.

However, unlike traditional antiques or works of art, no one can tell whether an item in a decaying state will eventually become a door to a fantasy world. Therefore, this kind of auction is a rare 'fair' business in the world.

After all, it’s all about luck!

Arriving on the sixth floor, Duan Muxiang followed the waiter forward. When he walked around the corner, he suddenly came face to face with a young man. Duan Muxiang's eyes suddenly lit up and he reached out to hold the man's hand.

"Oh! Mr. Zhao, I have admired you for a long time!"

Zhao Feilong, who was not too tall or short, and looked like a rich man with a big belly, was confused by him. Who are you?

However, after all, Zhao Feilong came from a powerful and wealthy family, and he was definitely not lacking in surface politeness. Besides, he did call him by his name correctly, "Haha, hello, uh, you are..."

"I am Duan Muxiang in the Shen family. Now I am working under Zhao Dahan, Mr. Zhao. I have seen your portrait before and I have been envious of your grace for a long time!"

As soon as Zhao Dahan's name came out, Zhao Feilong was instantly happy, "Oh, I remembered that my uncle also mentioned you before. He was the one who took the initiative to build a landscape park. Hahaha, okay, Businessmen like you who can take the initiative to share the country's worries are exactly the pillars the country needs most."

Duan Muxiang's perception is so sensitive now that she can hear the hidden emotions in Zhao Feilong's words almost instantly. The other party should indeed have heard Zhao Dahan talk about it, but Zhao Feilong really looked down on him.

But it doesn't matter, you will die in the end anyway, so what does it matter if I look down on you now?

Duan Muxiang still smiled and looked at the person next to Zhao Feilong. He was a younger man with a fierce look on his face, "This friend is..."

Zhao Feilong smiled and said: "This is my cousin, Zhao Tai, eh? Why did Boss Duanmu come to Hong Kong Island?"

Duanmuxiang sneered, "Others will definitely not tell, but Mr. Zhao asked, so of course I won't hide it." Then lowered his voice, "The situation in Jinghai County is a bit tense now. That bitch Fu Qingmiao is pressing hard, so I came here to buy some information about local forces so that I can have a deeper control of the situation."

Zhao Feilong raised his eyebrows when he heard this and looked at Duan Muxiang meaningfully. If his useless uncle sent him to do this, he must be a close aide of Zhao Dahan.

"I see." He then looked up at Marissa behind Duan Muxiang, "This is..."

"Oh, I have a friend I met in business before. He is the head of the Continental Hotel. He is from Li country!"

Duan Muxiang deliberately kept his history vague, but those who knew the inside story could instantly understand that Zhao Feilong's attitude had indeed changed significantly. He shook hands with Marissa and spoke fluently in Chinese.

Duan Muxiang nodded and smiled at Zhao Tai, with some doubts in her heart. Is this the same Zhao Tai?
