Chapter 18: Simulation
After he narrowed his eyes for a moment and carefully observed the situation, seemingly unable to sense the other party's cultivation, the large man weighed the money bag Xiao Ming threw and replied with a fake smile on his face.
"Very well, mister, sit here."
Xiao Ming looked in the direction he pointed, but found that all the tables there were full and there were no more empty tables.
"There are no more seats there."
"Sorry, sorry, please sit here." After Xiao Ming reminded him, the scar-faced big guy said as if he had just come to his senses.
After looking at the scar-faced man, Xiao Ming walked towards that place without saying a word.
Looking at Xiao Ming's back, a fierce smile appeared at the corner of the scar-faced man's mouth as he walked backstage.
Backstage.
A fat man with a black face, his obese upper body exposed, asked to the scar man.
"What do you think, have you figured out who's coming yet?"
"Heh heh, must be a little kid who came out of nowhere."
"Really? Make no mistake, don't look at someone short for a boy, there is miscegenation here in the Black-Corner Region, it's not like there aren't shorter races. Last time you looked at someone's pale face and said he was injured and not strong enough, causing us to suffer a great loss in an oversight, if it wasn't for our boss's strong strength, we would have been buried." The fat man named Weng Sheng, said with words full of distrust, evidently having once been compromised by him.
The scarred man's face was a little embarrassed by such a remark, and he wanted to retort loudly with a red face, but for fear of attracting the attention of others, he could only lower his voice and shout.
"Fuck, there must be a reason, who knew that Lung Consuming Ghost was actually practicing a cold Yin technique like Xuan Yin Dao, making him look inhuman and ghostly, besides, we didn't lose out last time, that Xuan Yin Dao was a low level Xuan rank technique."
Seeing that the fat man was still a bit suspicious, the big man had to explain again.
"Don't worry, I won't be wrong this time, even though this guy deliberately set his voice like an old man, hid in his black robe and even disguised his hands, he still showed a flaw."
"When he threw the money just now, his wrist was exposed. Compared to the wrinkles on his palms, the skin on his wrists is younger by an unknown number of years, and when I deliberately asked him to sit on a seat where there was no empty table, he actually calmly told me that there was no seat left, hehehehehe, this is definitely a brat out of nowhere, not very old, and definitely not very strong."
"In that case, when we do our business in the evening, we'll deal with him on the way, heh." A hint of a fierce smile appeared on the fat man's naive face.
"Well, just to be on the safe side, add some spices to his dish." The scarred man also had a sinister smile on his face, though based on his judgment, he thought the black-robed boy wouldn't be too strong, but just to be on the safe side, he thought he still needed some extraordinary means.
"Well, I'll throw in some soft bones powder."
...
It was evening.
On the bed, Xiao Ming, who was fully dressed and in a sitting position, opened his eyes with a start and muttered.
"It's past midnight and it's time for another life simulation."
The simulator's voice in his mind rang out.
[Ding, the current number of simulations is detected as one, indicate whether to start the life simulation].

A/N:
Guys, some drafts I had already prepared on the site were deleted by webnovel, although I keep them on my computer anyway, some last minute edits may have been lost, so correct me for any mistakes.
This chapter is 2033 words long, I omitted a chapter and a half, of a fight in the bar where the mc doesn't even participate, nor does it affect the plot in any way, pure unnecessary and boring filler.
