Hearing Ye Feng's words, the man with white hair at his temples looked rather strange. He raised the cola bottle in his hand towards Ye Feng, "Young man, welcome to Mars!"
"Hey, Old Li, what nonsense are you talking about, this is clearly..."
"Young man... Have we met before?"
Just as Ye Feng was drinking a Sprite, a burly man with a full beard walked up to him and shouted in a loud voice.
"I..."
Ye Feng's mouth twitched.
This kind of pickup line was usually used by men towards women... but the bearded strong man in front of him was actually hitting on him...
Already in a bad mood, Ye Feng couldn't be bothered to respond and continued drinking his Sprite.
Xiao Xiao also ignored them, she was concentrating on her painting, capturing the scene in the teahouse...
"Little girl, have I seen you somewhere before?"
At this moment, a young man with smoky makeup walked up to Xiao Xiao and spoke.
"That's right, I think I've seen you somewhere too!"
"Indeed... I didn't pay attention just now... but now that I look, you do look a bit familiar!"
"I think... not only that man... I think I've seen that little girl too..."
...
With the first and second individuals, the adventurers in the teahouse all turned their attention to Ye Feng.
"Huh?"
Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but frown.
Because these adventurers each had their own teams, and most of them didn't know each other, yet they all claimed to have seen Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao somewhere before?
"I remember now... that little girl... doesn't she look like the girl in this portrait, just a little taller and older?"
"And that man... he's become a lot sturdier..."
From amidst the crowd, a middle-aged man spoke.
As he spoke, he took out a rolled-up piece of paper from his backpack and slowly unfurled it. The adventurers next to him crowded around.
Some adventurers, after examining Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao for a while, started rummaging through their backpacks and pockets...
The man with white hair by Ye Feng's table also frowned, a flicker of surprise flashing in his eyes. He took out a folded, thick piece of paper from his pocket and quickly unfolded it.
After just a second of looking at the paper, the man with white hair turned his gaze back to Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao, who was sitting opposite him.
"It's... it's really you!"
The man with white hair swallowed, looking at Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao with disbelief.
At this moment, the adventurers in the teahouse also fell silent. They all stared at Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao with expressions of extreme surprise.
"Whoosh!"
A gust of wind blew past, and someone's grip on the paper loosened, sending it flying. Ye Feng quickly reached out, caught the paper, and examined it.
"Big brother, this... seems to be a portrait of both of us..."
"It must have been taken quite some time ago..."
Xiao Xiao, who had come closer to Ye Feng and was observing curiously, spoke.
"Big brother, why is there a string of numbers below our portraits... so many zeros... is it one hundred thousand?"
"The paper is damaged..."
After a pause, Xiao Xiao added again.
"Ten... ten thousand Arcane Yuan coins bounty target..."
Before Ye Feng could answer, someone from the crowd of adventurers in the teahouse murmured.
"Clack clack~ creak~ snap"
"Clang~ clack clack~"
As the words fell, a series of dense metallic sounds filled the air, as a group of adventurers drew out their pistols, shotguns, swords, clubs, and other weapons.
They all aimed their pistols, automatic rifles, swords, clubs, and other weapons at Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao, their expressions cautious, but more so, filled with excitement and elation.
The white-haired man at Ye Feng's neighboring table did not pick up a weapon. Instead, he even signaled his men to put down their weapons and retreated into the crowd...
"Big brother, what's going on?"
Xiao Xiao looked around with caution, and also asked Ye Feng with a hint of confusion.
"Uh... Although I don't know the specific situation... it seems we've been put on a bounty..."
"The bounty is one hundred thousand Arcane Yuan coins..."
Ye Feng looked at the tattered paper in his hand, "And this bounty order says, only live capture... no money for death..."
"Hey, Fire Wolf, why aren't you moving yet?"
"That's one hundred thousand Arcane Yuan coins!"
Among the crowd, a middle-aged man with red hair styled to the side shouted sharply at a bald man whose face was covered in black hair.
"Hmph, you effeminate freak, why aren't you going?"
"You're just waiting to ambush and reap the rewards, aren't you?!"
Fire Wolf retorted coldly.
Many people present shared the same thought as Fire Wolf. Therefore, even though they saw the bounty of one hundred thousand Arcane Yuan coins not far away, they were suspicious of each other, and no one made the first move...
As a result, the atmosphere in the scene became oppressive and tense...
"Everyone, listen to me. This kind of stalemate is not good for any of us!"
"There aren't many adventurers in this teahouse, and one hundred thousand Arcane Yuan coins is an astronomical sum. Even if it's divided equally among everyone, it would be enough to live without worry for ten lifetimes!"
"Let's all go together first and capture this kid, what do you say!"
A one-armed middle-aged man was the first to break the silence.
"This place is a common transit point for adventurers in the vicinity!"
"The longer we delay, the more people will know! And the stronger they might be!"
Seeing that no one responded, the one-armed middle-aged man spoke again.
As soon as these words were spoken, a commotion erupted among the adventurers present. Clearly, the one-armed middle-aged man had touched upon their greatest concern...
"Uh... that... do you know why I'm being targeted for a hundred thousand Arcane Yuan coins bounty?"
At this moment, Ye Feng spoke to the group of eager adventurers in front of him.
"This..."
Hearing Ye Feng's words, the few adventurers closest to Ye Feng, who had already taken a step forward, retracted their feet. Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
These people had survived in the apocalypse for so long, and most of them were not fools. They knew very well that Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao wouldn't be targeted with such a bounty for no reason...
Although Ye Feng looked like an ordinary adventurer, and the little girl next to him seemed to have no combat power, they didn't dare to take the risk...
"Hey, you don't know why I'm being hunted, do you?"
Ye Feng swept over the expressions of everyone present and couldn't help but feel a bit bewildered.
"Bang bang bang!"
