The bar is still doing well, even though the Record Player Miss went on a business trip yesterday, which changed the style of music.

But the Iceberg Bar's cult style has become a hit, attracting a large number of newcomers every day.

However, after going downstairs, seeing Ruan Ruan sitting happily amidst a large pile of wine bottles, Xiao Xiao felt somewhat helpless.

Ruan Ruan must be the bar's number one blacklist customer. She demolished part of the bar yesterday and another part today, turning this once luxuriously decorated bar into a semi-industrial style bar, and she's justifiably waiting for a free meal.

Look at Little Four, he's already picking up trash to fix his French windows...

"Boss, your friend's spending is a bit excessive..."

The store manager also came over, rubbing his hands together, and cautiously looked in Ruan Ruan's direction. "If this happens every day, it'll be too scary."

"Don't be so stingy. She's so small, how much alcohol can she drink?"

Xiao Xiao smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Besides, it's not real alcohol anyway..."

"But we can sell it for a price higher than the real wine..."

The store manager hurriedly said, "Besides, she doesn't just drink, she keeps offering drinks to the people next to her..."

"..."

Xiao Xiao thought about it more deeply and suddenly realized that what the store manager said made a lot of sense, so he couldn't help but frown and ponder for a moment:

If I just kick her out, Ruan Ruan will probably get angry. Asking her for money would make me seem stingy. If I bring up the rule that minors are not allowed to enter, the medical expenses for my security guards each month will probably be a huge expense...

Suddenly an idea struck him, so he called the store manager over and whispered:

"From now on, whenever she comes, you should arrange for a group of pretty girls to bring her wine."

"Find someone with long legs and have them wear hot pants."

"If there's nothing else to do, just walk around her for a bit, and she'll stop wanting to come near you soon..."

"..."

The store manager suddenly realized and quickly wrote it down.

Xiao Xiao was also very happy; an insightful person is always good at solving problems.

Then he turned around and walked over to Ruan Ruan, sitting down next to her. "Having fun?"

"I'm quite happy..."

Ruan Ruan said, "Xiao-gege, the music style here is so unique. Give me the playlist, I'll play it when I take care of my master in the future."

"..."

Xiao Xiao was speechless.

With the cult style of Record Player Miss, are you sure it's appropriate to put it in such a warm and cozy setting?

I'll ask around for you later.

He mumbled something vaguely before whispering, "Now, is the matter of the Silver Bullet's betrayal completely settled?"

"It's all done..."

Ruan Ruan said, "Those who should be mourned should be mourned, and those who should be cremated should be cremated."

As she spoke, a cold glint appeared on her small face as she said, "These people were all incredibly ruthless during the Black Gate Mist Incident. They all hid and disappeared without a trace, letting their comrades be killed without even showing their faces. Some even deliberately exposed their comrades' locations, drawing the Hell Organization's attention. It's just that they barely managed to survive..."

"Heh, you never expected to be purged again, did you?"

"..."

"The sense of division within Black Gate City is truly severe."

Hearing Ruan Ruan's words, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The arrival of the Hell Organization that time had a profound impact on this city.

Leaving aside the dead, those who survived harbored deep resentment and dissatisfaction towards each other. Silver Bullet's insane slaughter was one aspect, but Ruan Ruan showed no sympathy for her fallen comrades, even less than Yang Jia, an outsider.

When the Ghost Man died, she would even offer him a bouquet of flowers.

However, upon further reflection, Ruan Ruan and Yang Jia are fundamentally different.

At that time, Ruan Ruan was the type of person who bravely followed the Old Chairman and charged forward.

She survived because of the Hell Organization's mockery and complete disregard for her; it was an insult.

But because she once stood up, she deeply hates those who shrink back.

Having not experienced the Black Gate Mist Incident myself, I feel it's inappropriate to offer an opinion, but I did ask another question out of concern:

"So, in the process of cleaning up the scene, we must have picked up quite a few things, right?"

How many points have I collected?

"..."

"Integral?"

Ruan Ruan was a little surprised, and then she understood what Xiao Xiao was concerned about. She looked at him sympathetically and smiled, "The points are very few."

"The Silver Bullet Family was almost wiped out, and their information cards were all collected. It's just a pity that these madmen originally planned to go on a killing spree and then escape the city to join the Hell Organization, so they used up all their points in advance."

"Even if there are still a few hundred or so left, because they were massacring people, they also implicated a lot of indigenous people, and they were all taken away."

"On the other hand, the Red Eyes Club and Old Zhou Under the Bridge have a lot of empty information cards with considerable balances."

"But those were originally their people, and they suffered heavy casualties, so we feel bad taking them..."

"..."

"Ah, this..."

Xiao Xiao was somewhat disappointed. He thought he could make a fortune this time, but it turned out to be a waste of time.

Fortunately, the previous groups of people were quite polite and promised to give me some compensation. I can still collect some of it later, right?

"What about special items?"

He then asked, "There's quite a bit left over, isn't there?"

"Several items have fallen over here..."

Ruan Ruan quickly lowered her voice and said, "Little Four and I have checked the accounts. Silver Bullet distributed a large amount of points to his subordinates for this rebellion. Some people used these points to improve their abilities, but most people didn't receive enough points to complete a leap in rank. So they just bought some special items to enhance their strength, and these things..."

"... Except for those one-time use items, Little Four basically scoured them all back."

"..."

"Little Four is indeed a perfect match for his major..."

Xiao Xiao was thrilled. Luckily, before he fainted, he had reminded Little Four to clean up the battlefield.

What could be more professional than a scavenger doing this?

He hurriedly asked, "Where are the things?"

Ruan Ruan said, "It's being kept by Little Four. We'll ask Mister Ye to help us appraise it later, and then we'll split it."

"However, there are two things I'm keeping now."

"..."

As she spoke, she took out a black plastic bag from her small backpack and pushed it in front of Xiao Xiao.

"This is..."

Xiao Xiao hurriedly opened it to take a look, and his eyes widened immediately.

A silver revolver, its body icy cold, exuding an eerie aura.

There was also a belt next to him that was full of bullets; just a quick glance revealed dozens of them.

"Luo Feng is best known for his silver gun, as well as the Bloodthirsty Bullet he makes using special methods."

She chuckled Ruan Ruan, "It's perfect for you to use. After all, your little pistol needs replacing; it's too weak..."

"Also, I need to find you a suitable dagger. It's not right to keep using that fruit knife with the red plastic handle..."

"..."

A gun that can fire bullets that curve? That's a good thing.

Xiao Xiao looked at it with a pleased expression and said with a smile, "But I find my fruit knife quite handy to use."

"I can tell..."

Ruan Ruan gave him a meaningful look and said, "But let's change it anyway..."

"Killing someone with a dull knife is too cruel..."

"..."

I don't know what she remembered, but her little face scrunched up when she talked about cruelty.

"Why do these people always think of cruelty in everything..."

Xiao Xiao was speechless. He now fully understood their stereotypes about him, but he was too lazy to explain.

Do I just prefer using a low-powered handgun and a fruit knife with a red plastic handle?

Wasn't it because we were too poor to afford anything else back then?

Of course, I've gotten quite used to it since I started using it, and I don't want to switch.

The gun can be replaced.

A gun whose bullets can curve would obviously provide a significant advantage in combat...

As he thought about it, he reached for the Silver Revolver that was on the table.

Unexpectedly, before his fingers even touched the gun handle, his hand trembled slightly, and the gun was inexplicably pushed under the table. In such an unbelievable coincidence, the butt of the gun bounced on the ground and made a "bang".

What a coincidence it must have been for the gun to just happen to hit the ground, and for the recoil to just happen to trigger the gun?

Gun triggers Mingming require a lot of force to pull, right?

Xiao Xiao was slightly startled and instantly went into Mind Burst, watching helplessly as a bullet whistled out.

But in that instant, Ruan Ruan suddenly reached out and scooped up the air.

A puff of white smoke and the aroma of burning flesh rose from her palm as she gripped the bullet tightly.

She frowned slightly before whispering, "Xiao-gege, be careful..."

"..."

Xiao Xiao showed no sign of panic, but glanced around. The music was blasting, and a loud noise came right at the same time.

No one around noticed the sound of the gunshot.

What's going on?

Realizing that the gun was somewhat strange, Xiao Xiao stared at it silently and asked in a low voice.

"It's not convinced."

Ruan Ruan whispered, "How could the gun used by the leader of the Silver Bullet Family be ordinary?"

"It is said that Luo Feng found this gun in the hands of a gun Collectors who had been in seclusion all his life."

"This Collectors's wife cheated on him, his business was swindled, his eldest son was killed by his enemies, and his second son was in a car accident, but the perpetrator escaped justice by exploiting legal loopholes. Mingming having a large collection of firearms, he remained cowardly and patient. Every night, he would take out this gun, caress it in his hands, and fantasize about taking revenge with it. However, it all remained just a fantasy."

"Even in his old age, his only remaining daughter committed suicide because she couldn't bear the abuse from her husband..."

"He finally couldn't sit still any longer and came out with a gun."

"He wanted to shoot his son-in-law dead, but on his way to his house, he suffered a heart attack and died on the road."

"So, this gun accumulated countless resentments, but in reality, it was never fired even once."

"But because of this, it has accumulated countless resentments. If it submits to you, it will be your most powerful weapon."

"If they don't submit to you, they'll keep making mistakes or accidentally firing, causing you trouble..."

"So, Xiao-gege, are you ready to use it?"

"..."

"There's such an amazing thing?"

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and slowly reached out towards the gun handle. "Then I'm taking it."
