Chapter 216 Life Is Too Long, Seize the Day...

The next morning, in the tavern.

Tang En was sitting in the corner of the hall, sipping ale. Probably because of the time, there were not many guests. It can be seen that the tables and chairs are all newly made, and there is a faint smell of logs.

This tavern was one of the earliest stores to open in the newly built city. The owner of the tavern was Old Wood, who was also a soldier in the Gray Army and seemed to have reached the position of squadron leader. However, due to a battle injury and the loss of his left leg, he retired. Fortunately, he still had the brewing skills passed down from his family, so he pooled his money and opened this tavern.

This is also the place where Tang En visits most now. The reason is that the ale brewed by Old Wood has a unique taste and is full of spiciness, which is quite popular with Frey and the others. As for Tang En, he neither liked nor disliked the taste. He basically came here just to pay... Bang, the wooden door of the tavern was pushed open.

"Haha, good morning, Old Wood!" A young man with freckles came in and casually greeted the black-bearded Old Wood sitting behind the wine cabinet.

"Good morning, Ferry." Old Wood raised his eyes, smiled and nodded.

After saying hello, Fei Rui glanced around and saw Tang En sitting in the corner. He spread his hands and walked over: "I'm just wondering, do you like the corner position so much? You sit here every time you come."

"Haha, it's just a habit." Tang En pushed another bottle of wine on the table and chuckled carelessly.

"Habits...sounds like a master." Fei Rui opened the oilcloth on the mouth of the tank, and then raised his eyebrows with some interest, "You are observing, right?"

"Absolutely." Tang En nodded noncommittally, then reached out and handed over the jar.

Boom! The collision of inferior clay pots made a dull sound. Fei Rui raised his head and took a sip, then wiped his mouth: "So you can remember everything you see?"

"Not really." Tang En shook his head.

"In this case..." Fei Rui tilted his head and stared into Tang En's eyes, "Then let's have some appetizers to cheer up... Well, how many people are here?"

"Seven." Tang En replied without hesitation.

Fei Rui looked around and shrugged: "It seems a bit simple, well, do you remember what they ordered?"

Tang En shook the wine can as if he was bored and said calmly: "Two of the four guests came together and were just drinking ale like us. The other one ordered breakfast bread and a glass of fruit wine. As for the person behind you Asked for a can of ale and a plate of beef. Well, what he is eating now should be the last piece of beef."

As Tang En reported what the guests ordered one by one, Fei Rui's eyes gradually widened and his face was full of color. After hearing the last sentence, Fei Rui turned his head directly. There was indeed a burly man sitting behind him. Although his back was facing, from Fei Rui's perspective, he could still see his cheeks twitching, as if he was talking. Chewing something.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, the big man raised his head and drank the last sip of wine in the can, then stood up and left his seat.

"Old Wood, check out."

Fei Rui blinked. There were only knives and forks on the empty plate on the next table. From the remaining red meat shreds, it could be seen that it was indeed beef here. Turning around, his tone was full of disbelief, "How do you know that's the last piece?"

Fei Rui just stared at Tang En's eyes closely, making sure that there was no obvious movement of his eyes, and even if he saw something else, or his memory was really good. But from a distance, how could he know that the big man with his back just now was eating the last piece of beef?

"It's very simple." Tang En took a sip of wine carelessly, "If you pay attention, you will know that a plate of beef at Old Wood always has eighteen slices."

"..." Fei Rui opened his mouth, his face speechless. After coming back to his senses, he stretched out his hand to give a thumbs up and sighed: "Awesome, I'm convinced!"

After a pause, he shook his head and continued: "Suddenly, I feel that being your enemy is really terrifying."

"Haha..." He shook his head and chuckled a few times, with no proud look on his face and no words. In Tang En's opinion, this is really not something worth boasting about. To be honest, these were not things he wanted to remember and observe, it was just instinct. In other words, just like every time he chooses to sit in the corner, it is completely out of habit.

It has to be said that under the influence of the system space, Tang En has really changed a lot. The killer's instinctive habits have been deeply imprinted on every inch of his bones and every ounce of his blood.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Tang En can remember everything. In complex environments, non-dangerous things like the ones just mentioned will be automatically filtered out. If you want to remember again, you have to recall slowly... "Okay." After taking a few sips of wine, Fei Rui quickly regained his composure, raised his head and asked, "Tell me, what's the reason for inviting me here?"

"Don't worry, you came here so early and haven't eaten yet. Why don't you order something to fill your stomach first." The corners of Tang En's lips curled up slightly and he waved to the counter, "Old Wood, two cheeses, two plates of beef, one plate... ..." In just a few seconds, Tang En skillfully ordered a lot of things.

"Don't be so exaggerated." Fei Rui touched his hair and said in surprise, "It's so early in the morning, can you finish all these?"

Tang En waved his hand nonchalantly: "If you can't finish eating, you can take it away. Come on, let's drink first."

There were not many customers in the tavern, so the food was served very quickly. Without much effort, a rather clever waiter brought everything Tang En ordered one by one.

After eating something, Tang En licked his lips with satisfaction and said, "Remember, I once said I would give you some credit."

"Of course!" Fei Rui nodded without hesitation and said with a smile, "Although my memory is not as perverted as yours, I will naturally not forget such beneficial things... What, you get the credit?"

"Haha, yes." Tang En nodded, "The leader and others have decided to purchase a batch of heavy city defense equipment to arm the city. I recommend you. You will set off with us at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

This is what Luo Sha asked Tang En for yesterday. The outer shell of this city, which was named Dawn City, has been basically completed. Although it was a little rushed, the next thing that had to be done was to install the defense equipment. After all, no one knows when this place will be discovered by Bran officials. By then, a war will be almost inevitable.

Although more than a dozen city-defending crossbows from the Guangfeng Thieves Group were captured, this was far from enough for Dawn City's city defense deployment. It can be said that except for the city wall, the current Dawn City has almost no defensive force that can be relied on. It just so happened that the Gray Army had made a fortune recently, so Luo Sha and the others decisively decided to invest in the purchase. However, these items are absolutely contraband and cannot be bought with money. The key is to find them in the right place. And this is Tang En's mission.

"Ah -" Fei Rui opened his mouth in surprise, and then clenched his fist in excitement, "That's great, I finally have a place to play. Thank you, Tang En, I will remember this favor from you forever!"

Purchasing city defense equipment is a big deal. As long as it is done well, it is definitely a great opportunity to gain merit and honor. But because of this, a small soldier like Fei Rui who had just joined the Arms and Logistics Department should not have been eligible to join.

"Life is too long, I just have to seize the day." Tang En pinched his chin, pointed at the table and said with a squinted smile, "Let's settle this account later."

"I..." Fei Rui was stunned at first, but then realized what he was doing. Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, he suddenly felt a bitter taste in his mouth, "Tang En, you are cheating on me!"

"Tsk, don't say that." Tang En smacked his lips and shook his finger, "Isn't this why I ordered so many to celebrate you?"

"Yes, haha, we should celebrate, celebrate that I am officially bankrupt..."

After finishing speaking, Fei Rui said nothing more and buried his head in eating. His attitude seemed to be that the more he ate, the less he would lose.

"I'll wipe it and eat less. I have to pack it later."

"I, I, I...wuwuwu, I'll slap you in the face, don't even think about it!"

"Nima, the plates have to be placed on the table..."
