Chapter 15 Labor and Capital in the Shu Road

He strode forward to reap the rewards of his victory…

The watch tumbled a few times in the air before bouncing twice on the ground…

Finally, it rolled to the side of the road with a "clink-clink" sound...

There is a cast iron storm drain by the roadside.

The gap was wide enough for a watch to fall through.

Jiang Yu's eyes widened instantly.

"Holy crap! No!"

He instinctively shouted out, but it was too late.

Just as I feared, the watch fell precisely through the gap in the sieve.

"Thump!"

The sound of water splashing came from underground.

Then, all fell silent.

Only Zhang Yang and Zhou Zhu's heavy breathing echoed in the alley.

Jiang Yu ran to the sewer grate and took a look...

The current was very strong, and the watch was washed away somewhere.

On the other side…

Zhang Yang and Zhou Zhu seemed completely unconcerned that the watch had fallen into the sewer.

The two are now in a bloodthirsty frenzy.

Especially Zhou Zhu.

Physical exams, jobs... none of that matters anymore!

The important thing is that this bastard in front of us must fall!

The two continued exchanging punches and kicks.

Jiang Yu felt a surge of frustration looking at the two idiots entangled together.

Damn, they got greedy this time.

We should leave as soon as possible instead of wasting time here.

never mind…

This dungeon is so big, there must be more than one watch.

Don't give up, there's always a chance!

Jiang Yu took a deep breath and rallied his spirits.

He quickly turned and ran into the depths of the street.

……

After crossing two streets, a more bustling street came into view.

The streets are lined with shops.

Jiang Yu slowed down and carefully observed both sides.

The first one was a fruit shop.

Several rows of wooden shelves were set up at the entrance of the shop, piled high with apples, pears, peaches, grapes...

They were all wrapped individually in that kind of yellow straw paper.

Jiang Yu walked into the store and casually picked up an apple...

It felt heavy in my hand and smelled sweet fruity.

"Wow, this is actually a real apple?" Jiang Yu thought to himself.

The streets and buildings in the simulated city are one thing.

Are even the props in the shop genuine?

This place really went all out.

Jiang Yu continued to wander around the fruit shop.

The fruit shop was dimly lit.

You can see an old-fashioned pan scale hanging on the wall, made of copper, with several weights on the pan.

The cashier counter is an old-fashioned desk.

On the table were an abacus and a tin biscuit box.

The box was filled with colorful banknotes.

Brown one-cent coin, purple five-cent coin, green two-dollar coin…

Jiang Yu had only ever seen these "ancient coins" in short dramas from those eras.

Besides the abacus and the tin box…

Jiang Yu noticed something flickering in the drawer.

A faint light shone through the gap.

He opened the drawer…

There was a white power bank lying inside.

There is a small QR code on the power bank.

It's black and white, square, and has "Scan to Rent" written on the side.

The blue indicator light in the middle is flashing.

The light that just shone through the crack was it.

Jiang Yu was overjoyed.

abnormal!

Back in the 1980s, there weren't any power banks!

A universal charger hasn't even been released yet!

Not bad, although I broke a watch, I got a power bank.

That's fate!

This job should be mine!

Jiang Yu happily reached his hand into the drawer…

Just then…

A girl's hand reached out from the side and grabbed the power bank in the drawer at the same time as him.

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the owner of that hand.

It was that long-haired girl named Wan Jiayu.

It didn't move at all when we set off.

I don't know when she appeared in the fruit shop.

At this moment, she was hanging her head, her long, black hair completely covering her face, with only a faint glimpse of her pale chin visible.

But her hand reached into the drawer precisely and pinched the other end of the power bank with two fingers.

Jiang Yu frowned.

"Excuse me, beautiful, I found it first."

His tone was fairly polite.

But the meaning was clear: Don't get involved, understand?

The girl remained silent.

She didn't even lift her head.

But those two fingerprints didn't budge, gripping the power bank firmly like iron clamps.

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes at her and tried to pull her out.

It couldn't be moved.

He tugged again…

It still wouldn't budge.

"?"

What's going on?

How can a grown man be weaker than a malnourished-looking girl?

Jiang Yu refused to believe it and grabbed the power bank, pulling it outwards with all his might.

The power bank was completely removed from the drawer.

But the girl's hand remained gripping it.

The two stood facing each other, with a white power bank suspended between them.

The atmosphere was somewhat eerie.

After a few seconds of this stalemate...

The girl spoke.

Her voice was a little blank, with a strong Sichuan and Chongqing accent.

The last syllable was drawn out, sounding like a coquettish tone mixed with a command.

"You're such a nuisance, just let go."

Jiang Yu, of course, would not let go.

Why should I?

"Ladies first, loosen your clothes first."

"Labor and capital on the Shu Road".

"..."

The girl's tone remained blank.

But what he said was extremely threatening.

He also exudes a "you'll regret it if you don't let go" vibe.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but scrutinize the other person.

The girl looks to be about 1.7 meters tall, with thin arms and legs, looking like she could be blown over by the wind.

Has she become arrogant?

Have you been eating too much hot pot broth?

Jiang Yu was too lazy to waste any more words, so he grabbed the power bank with both hands and prepared to snatch it away.

He took a deep breath, exerted force with both arms, and pulled hard...

The power bank didn't budge.

"..."

The girl still held the power bank steadily with only two fingers.

Jiang Yu was a little embarrassed.

He felt like he was in a tug-of-war with a hydraulic press.

How embarrassing…

"one."

The girl began to count.

Her voice was soft and slow, but extremely authoritative.

Damn it, I just don't believe it!

Jiang Yu used every ounce of strength he had.

He pushed off the ground with both legs, shifting his entire center of gravity backward...

He kept holding his breath until his face turned bright red and the veins on his neck bulged.

The power bank remained completely still.

"two."

The girl's voice remained calm and unhurried.

Jiang Yu's feet scraped two marks on the cement floor, and the soles of his shoes made a screeching sound.

My whole body was almost tilted at a 45-degree angle.

He couldn't accept the fact that he couldn't even beat a girl with two fingers using both of his hands.

Damn power bank, move it already!

"three."

The words had barely left his mouth…

The girl in front of me moved.

Her movements were ridiculously fast.

Jiang Yu only felt a blur before his eyes.

Then the whole world started spinning.

Ceiling, walls, shelves, abacus, tin biscuit tins, those colorful old banknotes…

Everything was spinning rapidly before his eyes, like a kaleidoscope being disturbed.

He could even feel the air whistling past his ears.

"Bang!"

His back slammed heavily onto the ground.

The fall was so solid that my internal organs trembled, and my stomach churned violently.

The back of his head hit the cement floor, making his vision go black and his ears ring.

The dim light bulb on the ceiling flickered in and out of view…

"..."

Jiang Yu was lying on the ground.

He stared at the light bulb above his head, with only one thought in his mind.

What the hell is this girl with superhuman strength?!

I'm a guy who's 1.85 meters tall and weighs 80 kg, and I got taken down by a girl who looks like she could be blown away by the wind with an over-the-shoulder throw?

Is this correct?

By the time he came to his senses, the girl had already run off with the power bank.

She ran very fast.

Her long hair flowed behind her head, completely unlike her sickly appearance just now.

They disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It left only a faint scent, similar to shower gel.

Jiang Yu grimaced as he got up from the ground and dusted himself off.

He felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and reached up to touch it…

It bulged out a lot.

But he couldn't care less about that now.

He was the one who discovered it first, but at crucial moments, someone always jumps out to steal it.

Damn, do these guys all have criminal records?!
