Tang Yin’s Adventure in Another World: Chapter 1

Tang Yin was sitting in front of the stage in a disco bar called ‘Night Fire’ drinking. This was his fifth day in Chengdu [1].

He liked beer, he liked the environment of this disco bar, and he liked the rock music that played here even more.

“Are you alone?”

A girl in her twenties sat next to Tang Yin and looked at him with a smile.

Tang Yin’s appearance was cool and handsome. He had fair and clear skin; thick eyebrows and big eyes; the corner of his lips tilted up naturally. Even if he was keeping a straight face, he still seemed like he was smiling. A handsome smiley face could easily attract the liking of others. But of course, that only applied to strangers. For people who were familiar with him, his smile would only give them the creeps.

Because he was an assassin; an assassin that killed people without any sense of remorse.

Tang Yin turned his head and looked at the girl, baffled. He asked in confusion, “Do we know each other?”

The girl’s appearance couldn’t be considered as beautiful, but she was definitely not ugly as well. Her upper body wore a cool crop-top, and her lower body wore a sexy hotpants, revealing her pair of graceful and slender legs. The sexy outfit made her good figure even more appealing. The girl smiled and said as she shook her head, “I’m the waitress here. I noticed that you’ve come over to drink alone for a few days in a row.”

“Oh!” Tang Yin shook the glass in his hand and laughed without saying anything more. He was very clever, at least a lot smarter than average. He could remember people who were able to catch his attention even with just a glance, and even if several years had passed. It’s just that not many in this world could catch his attention.

Tang Yin’s smiley-face was approachable, but when one was to really come in contact with him, they would feel the indifference behind this smiley-face clearly. It was the kind of indifference that came deep from the bones.

“I’m guessing from your accent that you’re not from Chengdu right?! What are you here for? Are you on a business trip?” The girl seemed to be incredibly interested in Tang Yin as she quickly warmed up to him and asked, turning a blind eye to his indifference.

Tang Yin looked at the glass in his hand and remained silent. He would definitely not say another word to people whom he didn’t want to entertain. .

Just as the girl felt embarrassed, a big hand reached out from behind Tang Yin in a sudden and pressed on his shoulder. At the same time, a rough voice sounded behind him, “Brother, the place you’re sitting on is taken. Do make way!”

As they heard the speech, Tang Yin and the girl beside him looked back in unison.

They saw four young people who dressed rascally standing behind Tang Yin. Others didn’t catch Tang Yin’s attention, but the four bright and shiny bald heads were particularly eye-catching. It was as if there were four big light bulbs aligned behind him. After seeing these four people clearly, the girl’s face revealed a hateful expression instantly, yet her gaze carried some awe and fear.

Tang Yin said ignorantly, “I have always been sitting here.”

“Always?”

“Yes!” Tang Yin said calmly, “It’s been five days.”

“Hehe…” The bald man whose arm pressed on his shoulder sneered. He rubbed his thumb on his nose and said, “Motherf*cker, we brothers have been around here for five years. Kid, know your place and get lost now. Don’t ask for trouble. Otherwise, you will suffer!” As he spoke, he pulled his shirt slightly to reveal a knife that was under his shirt.

Tang Yin looked at the knife with a straight eye. After a long while, he seemed to swallow his spit timidly. He stood up and said with a smile, “This seat is indeed yours.” As he spoke, he picked up his glass and walked toward an empty table far away.

“Haha -” As they looked Tang Yin’s back that ‘ran away’, the four big and bald man laughed out loud. After that, their bodies swayed and sat around the girl collectively.

The girl was disappointed with Tang Yin’s cowardice. She looked at these four baldies again and the hate on her face increased even more. She stood up and seemed like she wanted to leave, but the leader bald man grabbed her wrist and asked with a playful smile, “Jiao Jiao, where are you going? Why are you leaving just as we arrived?”

The girl shook off the bald man’s hand forcefully and said with an unpleasant tone, “I am going to work!”

The bald man smiled falsely and said, “You didn’t seem to have any intention to work when the fair-faced man[2] was sitting here earlier. You were even chit-chatting with him. Why is it that you want to work just as we brothers arrive? Jiao Jiao, you are not disrespecting us!”

“Exactly, exactly!” The other three baldies made a fuss together.

The girl knew these four people, and she knew that they were the famous thugs of this district. It seemed that they even had relations with the local crime syndicate. She hated them, yet she didn’t dare to offend them. She took in a deep breath and said tenderly, “What do you guys want?”

The bald man smiled and said, “There is no other intentions. We just want to buy you a drink.” As he spoke, he turned nodded to his companion. A bald man understood his intentions and took out a bottle of wine from his pocket. He poured a full glass and pushed it to the girl.

The girl’s expression was slightly discolored. She shook her head and said, “I don’t drink…”

Without waiting for her to finish, the bald man interrupted, “I invited you to a drink, even just one sip would do. Otherwise, you are not giving me this face!”

The girl knew that what mattered most for these thugs was their reputation. If she didn’t drink this glass of wine today, they would definitely not give up. In order to get rid of them, the girl was helpless. She made up her mind and said, “Then… I will only have one sip.”

“Good, good, good! Haha-” The bald man laughed happily as he nodded.

Picking up the glass, the girl gathered her courage and drank a big sip of the wine.

The alcohol entered her abdomen and a spicy sensation rushed from her stomach all the way to her scalp. She felt as if she was about to spurt fire when she exhaled. Her fair and clear face turned reddish instantly, causing her appearance to seem even more tender and beautiful. The bald man’s eyes went blank at a glance. He only regained consciousness after a while. He clapped as he laughed, saying repeatedly, “Good capacity, good capacity. Haha. One more sip, here, one more sip!”

“I…” The girl still wanted to escape, but the bald man also took up a glass of wine and poured it into her mouth forcefully. In the blink of an eye, the remaining half of the glass was all poured into the girl’s stomach. Her face also got redder and redder. She wiped off the wine stains at the corner of her mouth and said while gasping, “Now I can go, right?”

The bald man and several companions looked at each other and smirked in unison. They nodded and said, “Good! You can do your work!”

Hearing this, the girl was relieved. She stood up hurriedly. However, just as she stood up, she felt very dizzy as if the whole world was about to fly up.

She couldn’t stand still; her body swayed constantly. She finally sat back onto the chair. Her head was dizzy, feeling pain and pulsing. She then finally realised that something was wrong. No matter how bad her alcohol tolerance was, it was not this bad. The other party definitely drugged the alcohol with some sort of hallucogenic. However, she realised this a little too late. Her consciousness drifted away from her mind bit by bit. Sitting on the chair, her body swayed; her face as dull, laughing foolishly at the people around her from time to time.

Seeing that they have succeeded, the smirk on the faces of the four bald men were more obvious. They exchanged glances with one another and held up the girl hurriedly. They even said from time to time, “You’ve drank too much! Don’t drink if you can’t drink; we’ll send you to rest!”

Four bald men walked through the dance floor with the unconscious girl and walked straight to the back door of the disco bar.

Everything that happened here was seen clearly by Tang Yin who was not far away. He had an impulse to rush forward and stop them, but he soon repressed his impulse. He wasn’t a good person. There was no need for him to rescue anyone. Getting into trouble was equivalent to creating trouble for himself.

Although his rationale prevailed, the figure of the girl still emerged in his mind from time to time, making him somewhat unsettled.

Damn it! Tang Yin snorted in his heart. He hated the feeling of his impulse being uncontrollable. He tilted his head up and drank up the beer in the glass. He then raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

A waitress not far away came over and asked with a smile, “Sir, do you need anything?”

“Alcohol!” Tang Yan said simply.

“What alcohol?” The waitress was amused by him. Ten out of ten of those who came to a disco bar would order alcohol.

“Liquor!”

“Vodka?”

“Sure!”

“One glass?”

“One bottle!”

The waitress was stunned for a while; she looked at Tang Yin suspiciously. After a pause, she said with a smile, “Okay, sir. Please wait!”
