Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 709 Unexpectedly...

The next day, the group simply adjusted their schedules and did not go directly to the professional Hu Ming had mentioned.

Despite Yin Nanfeng's insane disdain, Wu Xie and his friends stubbornly stayed at Hu Ming's house and refused to leave.

On the morning of the third day, under Yin Nanfeng's watchful gaze, the group finished washing up, ate the breakfast carefully prepared by Hongxia and Shengshengman, and then leisurely went out.

To be honest, Hongxia and Shengshengman are indeed professionals. Although their cooking skills can't compare to those of professional chefs, they can definitely satisfy the discerning palates of most people.

"Damn, I'm suddenly a little envious of you, Hu Ming. That decadent and corrupt life of a pampered lord, with everything done for you, I wish I could live like that every day..."

On the bus, the blind man and the fat man were still reminiscing.

"With your wealth, wouldn't it be easy to hire ten or eight professional maids to take care of your lives?"

Taking advantage of the early morning rush hour when the roads were empty, Hu Ming floored the accelerator and sped up to 100 mph, his extraordinary reflexes giving him exceptional driving skills.

In the traffic, Wu Xie's old Jinbei van was driven like an F1 racing car.

As for traffic regulations, Hu Ming doesn't even know where he put the driver's license that Yin Nanfeng helped him get ten years ago. Who cares about that anymore?
Anyway, the car belongs to Wu Xie, and the license plate is in his name. So what if he takes pictures? What's there to be afraid of?
"It's only thanks to my second uncle that I was able to handle this; otherwise, you would have revoked my driver's license today!"

Wu Xie leaned back in the back seat and complained.

"Your second uncle is awesome, yeah, all your uncles are extraordinary!"

The blind man couldn't help but join in the commotion.

That's true!

Hu Ming readily accepted the blind man's praise; after all, it was the truth, wasn't it?
About half an hour later, after circling around half of the city, Hu Ming arrived at the eastern suburbs, in the old town. He turned left and right and came to a building that looked no different from an unfinished building.

The broken golden cup stopped on the spot, and under Hu Ming's leadership, the group stepped into the building one after another.

Surprisingly, after entering, instead of going upstairs, I stepped into the second basement level.

The phrase "a hidden paradise" was probably created specifically for this place.

A tacky illuminated sign hangs at the entrance, displaying the words "Antique Appraisal, All Kinds of Tattoos".

"Hey! Uncle, you've found quite a unique friend. Antiques, tattoos, and is he a doctor by profession?"

The fat man chuckled. If it weren't for Hu Ming's introduction, he probably would have turned around and left long ago based on this signboard alone.

The passageway was covered with posters and other images that defied conventional aesthetics, including religious themes, skulls, mythology, folklore, abstract art, and post-impressionism.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious, open area illuminated by warm lighting, with deafening heavy metal rock music playing.

“Wow!”

The two elderly people immediately couldn't take the shock, covering their ears and crying out that they couldn't bear it.

Perhaps the two people's voices caught the owner's attention, because the music suddenly went down.

The sound of kicking came from the spiral staircase in the center of the room.

Her shoulder-length hair was tied up, and unusually, her bangs were styled into several small braids.

She wore four earrings on both ears, her skin covered in tattoos beneath her white vest, and a black work uniform.

The girl had delicate features, and although her figure wasn't clearly visible under her work clothes, overall she was still much better looking than the average girl. "Second Master? You've arrived! It's been quite a while!"

The moment the rebellious girl saw Hu Ming, her nonchalant gaze quickly turned to surprise, and she hurriedly ran over in her wooden clogs.

"Tsk! Wooden clogs, why would anyone wear those?"

"I brought a few friends over today. They need your help with something. They don't know you, but you know them, so you're not exactly strangers."

Hu Ming lowered his gaze and couldn't help but click his tongue.

"What's wrong with wooden clogs? It's just a hobby, Second Master. It's the 21st century now; you should change the habits you brought from the last century! Even angry young people don't play like this these days!"

The girl only glanced at Wu Xie and the others, her gaze lingering on Xiao Ge for a few moments.

She knew who these people were. In the underworld, they were all prominent figures, and they had a very close relationship with her boss. It would be difficult for her not to recognize them.

"Go away and play somewhere else. I'm not some old fogey. If we're really going to play, I can spend way more than you. You can't compete with me on that!"

"But wooden clogs are not only uncomfortable to wear, they also easily cause calluses on the inside of the big toe. What's the point?"

Hu Mingzhen was absolutely certain of this, after all, he had lived for 20 years since his previous life.

"I like it! I'm happy to do it! Nothing is more important than my happiness! I just think it's cool..."

"However, Second Master, if you let me have my eye on you, let alone wooden clogs, you can tell me which of my bad habits to change, and I'll change them without hesitation!"

The girl warmly invited Hu Ming to sit down in the river, her gaze fixed intently on Hu Ming's upper body.

She was referring to tattoos.

This girl is a total tattoo fanatic!
"Change it or not, it's none of your business. Your boss doesn't even care, so why should I?"

"Alright, enough of the nonsense, let's get down to business. We have some fragments here, could you take a look at them? Here's the payment."

Hu Ming pursed his lips and pointed at the silent young man.

"..."

Bro.

I have a feeling that Hu Ming is trying to scam him?
A bad feeling suddenly crept into the young man's heart!
"Zhang Qiling... Although it's a bit of a shame that it's not Second Master, he's still quite good!"

Sure enough, the girl's eyes lit up, and she looked at the young man as if she had seen a priceless treasure.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

Ten minutes later, the expressionless young man took off his shirt and, under the girl's gleaming gaze, subconsciously began to slowly increase his blood flow.

A black Qilin tattoo slowly emerged.

The young man never imagined that one day he would have to sell his body.
Unbelievable!
“That’s it”

"Speaking of which, Second Master, when will I get to admire you? I heard from the boss that you are even more extraordinary and mysterious than Zhang Qiling."

Finally, the satisfied girl looked away and gazed longingly at Hu Ming.

That's just how people are; they're never satisfied. Once they get something good, they'll always be hoping for something even better...
