Age of Legends

Chapter 124: Turbulence in the Jianghu
Wang Bowen is cultivating connections with high-level officials and flies everywhere every day, changing from one place to another, including the capital, China Overseas, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. In short, he goes everywhere to solicit sponsorship, advertising, and merchants in the name of exhibition officials.

Zhang Chen mobilized the two-dimensional animation field in Rongcheng, and the Rongcheng government also issued tasks to schools and some units. The gymnasium began to become lively, with people setting up the venue and coming to rehearse with signs.

At this time, Zhang Chen took Wang Shuowei, Liu Jin and Yu Zexi to the custom clothing studio called "Si Jin" to customize several sets of Qing Dynasty zombie costumes.

The owner of the studio is a very thin young man named Wu Jun. He opened this shop after graduating from the Fashion Design College. Originally, he dealt in niche ready-made clothes, and his business was originally dying. Unexpectedly, he became more prosperous now. It is said that many cosplayers who had worked with him before, after word spread, came to him for custom-made clothes.

But Wu Jun was deeply impressed by Zhang Chen. He was the first one to know that the cosplay competition was organized by Zhang Chen and his team. However, he did not know that Zhang Chen was the planner throughout the whole process. He only knew that he was from Wang Bowen's team. The fact that Wang Bowen's team sent such a young person like him to run around for this matter was a proof of his ability.

Wu Jun knew that his business today was all thanks to their team, so he was extra polite to Zhang Chen, and would work overtime in advance to get any clothes he wanted made for him.

Zombie clothes are disposable items. There is no need to store them, so the material requirements are not high and the cost is not high. Wu Jun understood it. He took out a kind of material that looked very bright. It was a chemical fiber fabric. The advantage was that it was cheap and colorful, but it was best not to wash it. It would be bad if you washed it.

Zhang Chen thought it was about the same. It wouldn't take long anyway, so making this kind of Qing Dynasty clothing wouldn't be a big problem. Wu Jun asked again, "Do you want a Qing Dynasty eunuch hat, a soldier hat, or a minister hat..."

"Of course you are talking about the minister's hat! You are the eunuch..." Wang Shuowei retorted.

Wu Jun just smiled awkwardly, knowing that he was being rude. "Okay, four sets. I'll make them for you in two days at most! Give me the measurements."

The body measurements of the four people were also recorded and given to Wu Jun, who started to work on them. There were five people in his tailor studio, and five people could produce some works with a high degree of restoration. Generally, a more complicated set of clothing could be produced by working overtime for a day and a night if it was urgent.

Zhang Chen thinks that the two-dimensional clothing industry will have a huge future, and there is a huge market for shallow two-dimensional enthusiasts, but if you are a senior cosplayer with high requirements, you can only find this kind of handmade tailor shop, which is still like a small workshop. But if you really have the skills and accumulation, you can open a store to sell light luxury ancient costumes and cosplay costumes, and have a group of regular customers, you will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future.

Wujun has a bright future, but it may not be able to make big money. To make big money, it still needs to contact manufacturers to make patterns and ship them. Zhang Chen can try to do this in the future.

These are all things for later.

The days passed by, and when the whole class was not required to hold signs, the cosplay group stayed in the classroom to study. This period of time was a time for Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei to let loose, because as members of the class holding signs, they could enter and leave the school without any hindrance, and they could go out to eat and go shopping. They were living a life like a god.

You can even go to Zhao Tao’s game room to play games.

But then, a piece of news came out that shook the underworld circle in Dongmen.

Something happened to Zhao Tao!
Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei, who had received the news that day, also went to the Second Hospital. There were already many people outside the hospital, all of whom were there to see Zhao Tao. They couldn't squeeze in and were stopped from going in to watch. These people from society blocked the corridor. Qian Junyi drove them out and saw the two people at the door. He whispered, "Why are you here?"

"This matter has spread widely. What's going on? What happened? Why are you the only one here? Where are Brother Hong Yao and the others?" Wang Shuowei asked impatiently.

"Zhao Tao was ambushed."

"Who did it? Boss Xiong? Didn't you give him cigarettes to keep things quiet?"

Qian Junyi said coldly, "But they don't want to keep quiet. They come to ask for things every few days. Zhao Tao tolerated them at first, but later, everyone discussed it and decided that this kind of thing can't happen again and again. It's obvious that they think you are easy to bully. In fact, they are just looking for an opportunity to attack!"

"So after that, we yelled back anyone who came again. They said wait, Boss Xiong will come to take Zhao Tao away."

Wang Shuowei asked, "So what? You guys just wait?"

"Let's open a shop, brothers. Let's do business seriously, like before? Brothers, let's go find Boss Bear and see what he is capable of."

"Unexpectedly, their dirty tricks were exposed... Today, someone came into the game hall to buy coins, and went straight to Zhao Tao, drew his knife and stabbed him. Zhao Tao was sitting on the sofa at the time and dodged, so the knife didn't stab his abdomen, but stabbed his thigh." "The person was sent to the hospital immediately. Hong Yao and the others went to find Boss Xiong!" Qian Junyi said, and then said, "You have nothing to do here, go home quickly. Also, don't come to the game hall to look for us recently... Our important people will not go there for the time being, it's not peaceful anymore!"

This was something Zhang Chen had heard several times about, and now it had finally come true.

After that, news spread over Rongcheng one after another. It was said that Zhao Tao was admitted to the intensive care unit and the knife almost severed his aorta.

The police launched an investigation into the matter and discovered that the stabber had fled Rongcheng and was said to have gone to the south. The matter was also related to some underworld grudges, so it was basically a mess. No one was killed, so the police were investigating what they should, but progress was slow after all.

It always happens like this: when something happens in a place, as long as checkpoints are not set up to intercept the people in the first time, many wanted criminals will simply flee away. They often change their appearances more than ten years later. With the development of information technology, they will be caught again.

Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei had also passed by or visited Zhao Tao's game hall several times and found that the game hall was basically in a state of failure with few people. Basically, there was only one hired person guarding it and doing business when someone came. However, Zhao Tao had such an incident, and there were still people outside looking at this place with ill intentions from time to time. Who would dare to come and spend money here?

Zhao Tao's game hall gradually fell into disrepair.

Zhao Tao is lying in the hospital recovering from his injuries. It is said that his family is also shocked and his father wants to sever the father-son relationship with him.

Wang Shuowei called Hong Yao and Bu Ruijie.

That night they went to trouble Boss Xiong, and after a fierce battle, Hong Yao was hospitalized for knife wounds. Bu Ruijie was also hospitalized for broken ribs. Qian Junyi was later chased and jumped from the third floor, breaking his leg. He will probably be disabled from now on.

All of a sudden, most of Zhao Tao's main fighters were injured or disabled.

And Boss Bear also disappeared, hiding in the dark.

Wang Shuowei was in a very bad mood those days.

Zhang Chen knew that he had seen the cruelty of being in society.

This is the world of ours. You may be prosperous a few days ago, but quickly decline the next.

Zhao Tao survived, otherwise he wouldn't have been famous in the future. But the life trajectories of his brothers might be very different. At least Zhang Chen never heard of them in the future.

It would be a good thing if they gradually faded out of society because of these things.

But again, the unrest in Rongcheng seemed to be brewing around Zhang Chen, and was beginning to affect the people he knew.

And the future...

At this time, he couldn't see the future for the time being.

Hey, why think about the grudges and turbulent times? Just concentrate on playing your own zombie role!
