Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 463 [Tree Heart] 32

Wancheng is planning a port.

No wonder an asphalt road was built here, and so many new river view buildings and renovated shops were built nearby.

It turned out to be to improve the city appearance.

"Hulala-"

Several black extended cars sped past on the asphalt road. People on the road looked up, then looked away.

"Hey, it's the foreign boss!"

"These foreigners are also coming to Wancheng."

"Are you planning to set up a concession here or something? These guys are babble-ing about something and I don't know what they're talking about."

"If we build a port, foreign ships will come here too. I wonder if these foreign bosses will be generous..."

"A few days ago, the Gao family had some foreigners come in. They're trying to curry favor with them. They've been wanting to make opium before, so maybe they're planning to do this!"

When the topic of opium was brought up, the crowd was quiet for a moment, then became noisy again, and all of them just passed over the topic.

Feng Lan's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and his nose twitched slightly.

She did smell a strange sweet aroma beneath the tobacco, a bit like caramel or vanilla, and a bit bitter and weird. She thought it was because the smell here was too mottled, but it turned out that someone was smoking opium.

Feng Lan's eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a small shadow.

If only one or two people were smoking in private, people would definitely not react like this. I'm afraid that at least half of the people are smoking this thing, and it has already formed a trend in secret, so people would stop talking about it like this.

"Gao Tingxuan, I told you I have someone I like, there's no way I'm going to get engaged to you, just give up on this idea!"

"Xu Yajun, I've also told you this. This is the result of a joint discussion between the Gao and Xu families. Whether you agree or not, we're going to be together in the end. There's no way you and Qi Yuanshan can be together. He's just some small-time hoodlum who came over from the river. You're just attracted to him because he's good-looking, right?"

Feng Lan looked in the direction of the voice and saw two young people, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, dressed fashionably, pulling each other on the road. One was wearing a Western-style beige dress and had curly hair, while the other was wearing a well-ironed dark blue suit. Just by looking at them, you could tell that they had studied abroad and were deeply influenced by Western culture.

The girl, Xu Yajun, was probably amused by Gao Tingxuan's words. She shook off the hand he was holding onto. "Good-looking? Ha, Gao Tingxuan, I'm not someone as superficial as you who only cares about appearances. Although Qi Yuanshan has lost his memory, he respects me, is polite, and loves to study. What about you? What do you have? Besides a few bucks, your character is worse than that of those boatmen on the road!"

The fingertips wearing thin lace gloves pointed at the stall where Feng Lan was, and the stall became quiet for a moment.

Gao Tingxuan looked at Xu Yajun, whose face was slightly red due to anger, and looked at him with shining eyes. There was only him in her eyes, not Qi Yuanshan. For a second, Gao Tingxuan was moved by the beauty of his sweetheart. He was silent for a moment before turning his attention away. His ears were a little red under his hair. Gao Tingxuan turned his head and looked in the direction Xu Yajun pointed with a vicious look.

"What are you looking at, you stinky boatmen? Haven't you ever seen other people dating?!"

"..."

The crowd whispered for a second, and the next moment they all lowered their heads and did their own things. Some drank tea, some picked peanuts, some chatted, and some scratched the table.

Feng Lan's attention was on the servant beside Gao Tingxuan, who smelled faintly of opium.

Gao Tingxuan didn't have any of that, and from his expression it was impossible to tell whether he knew that his family was doing this or not.

The two argued for a while, and Xu Yajun's angry expression suddenly subsided. With a smile on her face, she waved in one direction, "Yuanshan! Here!"

Feng Lan followed Xu Yajun's excited gaze and saw a tall man in a black school uniform walking towards her. Although he was wearing a school uniform, the man had a unique and deep temperament. Feng Lan also saw a hint of blood. This man must have killed someone. Her gaze moved to Qi Yuanshan's legs. He walked steadily, as if he was a martial artist.

With the combination of these three people, Feng Lan instantly imagined a lot of love stories from the Republic of China.

She thought about it and actually found the names of these three people in the main story.

However, the place where the protagonist met them was in Shanghai.

Gao Tingxuan is not the eldest son of Wancheng, but an agent of a foreign company controlled by the United States. He is very famous in the concession. Qi Yuanshan is the president of the three major gangs, and Xu Yajun is Qi Yuanshan’s girlfriend.

Feng Lan didn't care about the love, hate, and emotions involved. After calculating the timeline, it would take one or two years. Now, she was more concerned about Wancheng's opium business.

In modern times, it is opium and drugs. The Rabbit Country has always had a zero-tolerance attitude towards these things.

In the Republic of China, this was also the most effective means of destroying the national will and disintegrating the body. It was the foreigners cutting off the source of support for the Rabbit people, destroying the Rabbit people's body, and making a lot of money from them.

Feng Lan decided to stay in Wancheng for a while. She stood up, paid the bill, left the stall with Liu Qi, and found a restaurant to stay in.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the restaurant, Feng Lan smelled a bitter fragrance. She looked at the curtain in the hall on the left. The curtain was not closed tightly, or maybe it was because the summer weather was too hot. In any case, wisps of smoke were coming out from inside.

"Excuse me, are you two here for a quick meal or to stay overnight?"

The waiter came over with a smile and stood in front of Feng Lan, just blocking her view of the curtain. He glanced at Feng Lan with squinting eyes, and his eyes lit up when he saw the paper donkey behind her. His attitude became enthusiastic again before it was completely cold.

"You two have just arrived in Wancheng, right? What you see is our inn's specialty." The waiter explained with a smile, "On such a hot day, some people drink iced mung bean soup, some eat ice jelly, and some just love this. After a puff, all the pain and worries disappear. Men become more energetic, and women become more beautiful and beautiful. The body feels so relaxed."

"What you said doesn't sound like a product, but more like an elixir." Feng Lan followed the waiter's words and said, "Stay here for one night."

This restaurant is so timidly yet boldly displayed in public, it must have a backer. Instead of asking around elsewhere, it's better to stay here, tracing the origins will be much easier.

"Of course, this is a new thing from the West. Most people can't get it, sir." When the waiter heard that Feng Lan was interested, he immediately introduced it enthusiastically. While he was speaking, her paper donkey was taken by the rope and pulled to the back of the restaurant.

Feng Lan pulled Liu Qi to sit in the hall and ordered two bowls of vegetarian noodles. She listened to the waiter bragging nonchalantly, and after a while, she replied to him.

"This elixir is so good, have you tried it?"

The waiter, who had been talking endlessly about the noodles, suddenly stopped talking and stammered with a wry smile, "Well... let me go to the kitchen to check if the noodles are ready for you."
