Chapter 27 A Hero’s Adventure.
Yang Kuai replaced his clothing with a suit of sportswear, and just like a small young hero who was going to set off for an adventure, he got a wooden sword from the carpenter beaver, an armor from the third dragon Prince, a pair of shoes from the old dragon king, a pair of trousers from the old Immortal Crane and some fish alls from the cormorant fisherman.
Equipment and food were all there, it really looked like he was going to start a long journey. Of course, the hero was still short of one most important equipment, it was a horse carriage. So Zhou Yu had to improvise and act like a horse carriage in this adventure…
Welp, he couldn’t just let Yang Kuai, who was only 15cm tall to run around alone, it would be too inefficient.
After saying goodbye to the old dragon king and other people, Yang Kuai began the first adventure in his life vigorously. And to Zhou Yu, this was the first time he left the village in many years.
Strange roads, strange streets, and strange people, he felt like as if he had just traveled to a different country. It made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
However… It was just a neighboring village.
Yang Kuai didn’t care about what his “horse carriage” was thinking, he was only focusing on his adventure. And the first quest in his adventure was to deal with some hooligans that were bullying villagers.
And there really were some hooligans.
Outside a small convenience store, placed two billiard tables, a few young men, who clearly looked like they were up to no good, were smoking cigarettes and playing the billiards.
While playing the billiard, they were also drinking as well and they often finished a bottle very quickly. Upon finis.h.i.+ng the bottle, they casually smashed the beer bottle at a corner of the street. Every time when the smas.h.i.+ng sound appeared, they would let out a loud cheer.
This type of people were the people that Zhou Yu scared the most. If it was still in the old days, Zhou Yu would have probably already left. Because he feared that they might want to cause some troubles for him.
However, Yang Kuai behaved like as if he was being injected with chicken blood. He constantly urged the “horse carriage” to get closer. Because Xiao Hua, who had been bullied by hooligans, was still waiting for him to take revenge for what they had done to her.
Xiao Hua was an anime Loli who they encountered when they just entered the village. Only until then did Zhou Yu just realized that there were also other citizens of the ACG world existed outside Luhua village. It was just that he didn’t know if they already existed before or they were only generated because of this adventure.
Seeing the poor little Loli was crying constantly, it sparked the soul of the queer uncle inside Zhou Yu. Just when he planned to ask Loli what was going on while thinking that he might be able to lure the Loli to go to Luhua village and make her settle there, Yang Kuai approached her before him…
Within just a few words, they understood what happened. Her favorite bear doll was taken from her by a group of hooligans. It was a very common newbie quest in any games.
As a hero, Yang Kuai accepted the quest readily. Then he “rode” his “horse carriage” and began to search for hooligans inside the village.
Then they arrived at the small convenience store.
And it was at this moment did Zhou Yu finally understood why he had a bad feeling back then.
As the old saying goes: “in similar water similar fish are found”. On the shoulders of every real-world hooligan that was drinking beer and smoking a cigarette, stood a small animated hooligan. Looking at their exaggerated hairstyles, heavy make-up, flamboyant costumes, and piercings, it was obvious that they were not good people.
At the moment, this group of animated hooligans was doing a football show, and the “football” they were kicking around was Xiao Hua’s bear doll. The little bear doll flew from one hooligan’s shoulder to another hooligan’s shoulder. It surprised Zhou Yu a lot that they didn’t even miss a single pa.s.s. Their football pa.s.sing skills were much better than the Chinese national football team!
This was bad… Yang Kuai needed to deal with those animated hooligans, that meant Zhou Yu needed to stay in the convenience store for a while until the thing finished.
But staying with those real-world hooligans…
Zhou Yu, who felt extremely nervous and uncomfortable, entered the store, pretending to buy something while looking at what Yang Kuai was doing.
As soon as he approached them, a western cowboy style background music suddenly appeared. However, it seemed like only Zhou Yu was able to hear it. It meant that there was a special event going on.
Influencing by the background music, a tense atmosphere began to spread in the convenience store. All the animated hooligans suddenly stopped playing, and they all glared at Yang Kuai sternly.
“You are not around here, are you a traveler?” One of the hooligans, who looked like the leader, said in an arrogant and aggressive tone.
Yang Kuai was like the protagonist of a Western film, “that’s not important, can you please return the bear doll, the poor little girl could not stop crying, it made me couldn’t have a peaceful afternoon nap.”
Right after he said it, the background music began even tense, as if the fight could break out at any moment. It made Zhou Yu slightly look forward to the fight between the citizens of the ACG world.
However, it was at this moment, the thing, that Zhou Yu was worried about the most, happened.
A slightly drunk hooligan looked at Zhou Yu and said, “hey, you, stranger, drink this, then we will be brothers.”
Then he stuffed a bottle of beer into Zhou Yu’s arms, and before Zhou Yu replied, he raised his head and drank the bottle he had in his hand empty.
“Uh… I don’t drink,” Zhou Yu was being honest. He indeed didn’t drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes. Because he didn’t like the bitter taste of them.
However, his honest reply made the hooligan very angry. Smas.h.i.+ng the empty bottle he had, the hooligan cursed, “motherf.u.c.ker, You ungrateful punk!”
The angry shout instantly attracted some other hooligans outside the store. The old grandma, who was probably the owner of the store, had already disappeared. Her ability to judge the situation was simply astonis.h.i.+ng.
One store, two fights broke out at the same time. And the result would also be very obvious. Yang Kuai was a hero, and he was also fully armed. Dealing a few hooligans was not a problem for him at all. It would be very easy for him to obtain some XP and the love of the little Loli – Xiao Hua.
However, Zhou Yu…
“OFFICER! HELP!…”
Zhou Yu wasn’t stupid, fighting those hooligans was something that should be done by protagonists. For ordinary people like him, running away was the only option.
A loud scream successfully distracted those hooligans, and while all of them turned around, he took the opportunity and ran out of the store through the side door, leaving Yang Kuai fighting those animated hooligans alone.
The after effects of being tortured by the small beasts for three months finally appeared. Although Zhou Yu’s speed was not fast, it was not a problem for him to get rid of those hooligans, who were slightly drunk.
After he ran a lap around the village, he noticed that he was not tired and he wasn’t even short of breath. If it was before, he would have probably already lie on the ground now.
Seeing the hooligans gave up chasing him, Zhou Yu took a detour and went back to the small convenience store. Yang Kuai clear had the upper hand of the fight, those small hooligans were beaten so badly to a degree that one could hardly bear to look at them. However, as the father of Yang Kuai, Zhou Yu had been chased around by the real-world hooligans. It was really an embarra.s.sment to the hero’s family.
However, he couldn’t stay here for long, just when he urged Yang Kuai to finish the fight as soon as possible, those real-world hooligans returned to the store while cursing constantly.
As soon as they entered the store, the red-haired hooligan, who gave the bottle of beer to Zhou Yu, instantly shouted, “motherf.u.c.ker, you even dare to come back, if I don’t catch you this time, I’ll change my name!”
So it began another marathon.
Although the hooligans said very loudly and confidently, their body conditions couldn’t support them from chasing Zhou Yu at all. In the end, they all leaned against a wall vomiting.
Therefore Zhou Yu won the second chase again.
