The First Guest

Chapter 21: The First Customer

Returning this time, figuring out how to make money was a big problem, especially since he was penniless.

Lu Li returned to his room and took out the "Glock" pistol he had captured.

This gun fired 9mm bullets, and its power was somewhat low on this otherworld.

Lu Li planned to bring it back to Blue Star to sell and buy a few cheap mechanical wristwatches to bring back.

Just then, light footsteps could be heard from outside the door; the two girls were coming over.

Xiao Cha held a bowl of dumplings, and said in a sweet voice:

"Dumplings when you leave, noodles when you come home. Wan Qing made them for you, eat them while they're hot~"

Wan Qing said softly, "It was a bit rushed, I don't know if it suits young master's taste."

"It definitely suits my taste!"

Lu Li took the dumplings and ate two. They were filled with fennel and pork, and were very fragrant. Moreover... he hadn't eaten them in 5 years.

He ate faster and faster, finishing them in a flash.

"Your appetite has grown so much after practicing martial arts~"

Xiao Cha said with a smile, "Come back soon, I want to train my body with you again."

"I'll be as quick as I can. Oh right~ This is for you." Lu Li took out an M1911 and placed it on the table.

Happiness came too suddenly, Xiao Cha's eyes widened, a mix of surprise and joy!

But then she shyly said, "These foreign guns that automatically eject shells are very expensive, I can't accept it... And what will you use if I take it?"

"I have something to use, just take it, and be careful of the Tooth Brokerage people."

As Lu Li spoke, he took out a box of bullets from his backpack and placed it on the table.

"Then I won't be polite~" Xiao Cha immediately grabbed the foreign gun she had dreamed of into her hands, unable to contain her excitement.

Lu Li got up and walked towards the exit, instructing:

"I'm leaving, you must protect Wan Qing well."

Wan Qing performed a curtsy and bowed gracefully, "I wish young master a smooth journey."

Xiao Cha also cupped her fist and said, "Have a safe trip!"

[Cross-Realm]

With a thought from Lu Li, the surface of the Kunlun Mirror displayed a satellite view of Blue Star.

In the blink of an eye, it brought its owner back to the newly rented apartment in Tijuana.

After traversing time and space, the Magic Treasure showed no signs of fatigue and continued to swim happily in the Sea of Consciousness.

This was the result of Lu Li's diligent nurturing over the past few days.

Perhaps his mental power was insignificant, but with perseverance, he had finally improved the Magic Treasure's condition, and it would eventually manifest in the world in its perfect form.

"Next, it's time to get down to business."

Lu Li found his phone, turned it on, and prepared to sell the Glock he had in hand.

He also glanced at the recent news--

"Drug lords and government forces declare temporary ceasefire, begin negotiations..."

"Harvard University research team confirms the existence of [Human Meridians] for the first time... and obtains a clear image of a Meridian over 20cm long!"

Seeing this, Lu Li's expression changed.

The existence of "Meridians" had always been controversial, yet it was foreign scientists who first confirmed its authenticity.

Fortunately, there were several experts from Xia Country on the research team, and one of their names sounded familiar.

"Qian Ping? He seems to be a friend of my father's..."

Lu Li sighed. His father's peers were starting to make a name for themselves, but unfortunately, he had taken the wrong path and lost his chance forever.

As he was feeling a bit melancholic, his phone suddenly rang!

The call came from an unfamiliar number, and Lu Li answered it.

A playful male voice came from the other end: "[Lu Li?]"

"[It's me, what's up?]"

"[Little Angel Jessica is about to start working for the Decapitation Gang, and she wants you to be her first customer.]"

Lu Li froze for a moment, then immediately understood what had happened!

Mafia gangs would allow attractive girls to make small requests to control them.

For example--choosing their first customer.

Lu Li's veins bulged, and he clenched the phone until it creaked!

But the angrier he became, the calmer he had to be.

He took a deep breath and asked calmly, "Where is it? Who are you?"

"Light Nightclub, I'm Antonio."

After hanging up, Lu Li's eyes turned terrifyingly cold!

In an instant, his brainwave power reached over 10 times that of a normal person!

~~~~~~~~~~~

The Glock pistol ultimately couldn't be sold.

Lu Li tucked it into the back of his waistband and arrived at the Light Nightclub.

It was exactly midnight, the peak of its dazzling lights, with crowds of pleasure-seekers pouring into the nightclub.

Lu Li followed the flow of people inside.

As soon as he entered, he was almost choked by the deafening music, and the flashing lights gave him a headache.

Avoiding a group of high young men and women, Lu Li walked towards two Decapitation Gang members responsible for maintaining order and said, "Antonio sent me."

The two men smirked, especially when they saw Lu Li's unsteady steps, their contempt growing.

"Let's go, to the third floor."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, in a luxurious office on the 3rd floor, Antonio was locking today's earnings into a safe.

The substantial income put him in a good mood. He smiled and looked at the large dog cage beside him, saying, "Your guest will be here soon. He must be handsome and reliable, which is why you chose him, right~"

Jessica curled up in the cage, silent.

Just a few days ago, she had fantasized about marrying Lu Li when she grew up.

She didn't mind that Lu Li was disabled; she just wanted to find a gentle and kind man to live with.

They could open a small restaurant or a laundry shop.

But now, Jessica only prayed to preserve a beautiful memory...

Just then, Antonio ordered his subordinate, "In a moment, in front of our little angel, cut off Lu Li's head."

Jessica was startled and tightly gripped the cage, shouting, "No! You can't do this... I'll work hard!"

"My dear, this is to help you operate with peace of mind~"

Antonio adjusted his shiny silver suit and turned to leave with a flourish.

He left behind a despairing Jessica.

In the next few minutes, the young girl frantically prayed that Lu Li wouldn't come.

But fate had other plans. When the door opened again, that familiar figure was already right before her eyes.

"Lu Li! Go!"

Jessica screamed frantically, but Lu Li was already surrounded by five Decapitation Gang members!

They held guns, and one with a cross tattooed on his forehead was slowly drawing a large saber!

Just as the saber was half out of its sheath, Lu Li's eyes sharpened, and he entered Concentrating Spirit!

Instantly, the saber's drawing speed slowed, while Lu Li drew his pistol like lightning!

At such close range, there was no need for elaborate description. More importantly, Lu Li was already very familiar with firearms.

In the blink of an eye, he pulled the trigger twice, aiming at the heads of two men.

The guns roared, and two bloody masses sprayed out almost simultaneously as two bodies fell backward.

The expressions of the remaining three froze on their faces as they slowly raised their guns...

But their reaction speed was not on the same level. As soon as their gun muzzles began to lift, Lu Li fired two more shots!

The bullets mercilessly entered the enemies' foreheads and exited from the back of their heads, bringing with them a large spray of red and white matter.

Although the Glock in his hand had slightly less power, its shooting feel was excellent. In the blink of an eye, he had killed four people.

At this point, the guy with the cross tattooed on his forehead had only just managed to draw his saber...

He let out a terrified howl with a changed voice and swung the saber.

Lu Li fired two shots at his head, creating two bloody holes on his forehead, and the body then crashed to the ground.

Thus, all five were eliminated, taking a total of 2 seconds.

Jessica witnessed the entire event, her eyes widening in disbelief!

In her eyes, Lu Li drew his gun like lightning and instantly killed five enemies, so fast that no one could react!

The entire process was like a Western gunfight movie!
