Chapter 104: A Series of Unfortunate Events - Part 4

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

The whole afternoon was spent with Bei Feng cooped up within the hotel room. Not only was the trip to the bank fruitless, he didn't even manage to get a new phone.

From the time on the TV, it was already 8 pm. Bei Feng felt his stomach grumbling and finally decided to get dressed and look for some food.

Along the streets outside of the hotel were several hawkers, selling a vast assortment of food like fried rice, barbecued meat on sticks and fried finger foods. Bei Feng was not disdainful of such food and directly approached a stall.

"Boss, give me a barbecued fish, two jin of spicy crayfish, five sticks of barbecued chicken feet and 20 sticks of mutton satay."

Looking at the delicious-smelling food at the stall, Bei Feng rubbed his hands in glee and directly placed a large order.

"Right, you do accept payment via WeChat right?"

Bei Feng suddenly remembered that he was only left with a few yuan in his pockets.

The boss of the hawker stall was a middle-aged woman. She looked at the anxious youngster before her and chuckled. "Of course. Do you still need anything else? How about a couple bottles of beer?"

"No need. That's all for now. I'll order again if it's not enough," Bei Feng shook his head, found an empty table and sat down.

In no time, the piping hot mutton satays arrived. The greasy sauce and fat were still emitting sizzling steam. Bei Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva in anticipation as he picked up a stick of satay.

"You f*cker, how dare you renege on your debt! Hmph, you finally let this Granddaddy track your ugly a*s down huh?! Brothers, beat him up!"

A spectacled man sitting on the table beside Bei Feng looked up in shock as he saw the group of thugs walking towards him while cracking their knuckles sinisterly.

"Bam!"

His face turned pale in an instant as he hurriedly got up and flipped his table at the thugs before turning to flee!

Perhaps the spectacled man had so poor a character that even the heavens wished to punish him, for as he ran, he stepped onto an empty bottle on the ground and began to fall backwards.

"Ke-dang!"

The unlucky Bei Feng, who was in the middle of enjoying his food, watched helplessly as the spectacled man crashed into his table, sending all his satay onto the ground.

"Motherf*cker! You still dare to run?! Try running now!"

The group behind immediately caught up and pounced towards him. The man in the lead was a ferocious-looking fellow with tattoos adorning his entire arm. On his neck was a thick gold chain, it's rings the width of a thumb. He brutally sent a few kicks towards the bespectacled man on the ground.

After a few rounds of beatings, the spectacled man was carried into a van. A small crowd had already gathered, but no one stepped forth to stop them. After all, it was only right to repay the money you borrowed!

Bei Feng looked at the mess speechlessly and reordered another 20 sticks of mutton.

"Quick, run! The cops are here!"

The spicy crayfish and barbecued fish had just been served and Bei Feng had barely swallowed the first bite of the crayfish when an alarmed scream resounded nearby.

"Hong!"

A single stone tossed into a calm lake would result in thousands of ripples. In an instant, all the hawkers packed their things with the speed of a lightning bolt!

"You, hey you! Get up, let us through!"

The middle-aged woman who had just looked at Bei Feng kindly was now like a completely different person. She had a fierce look on her face as she shouted at Bei Feng.

Bei Feng looked up in surprise and stood up without thinking. The middle aged woman quickly folded the table up in a practiced manner, threw it onto the food cart and with a rumble, the motorized tricycle drove off in a plume of smoke.

Numerous modified motorized tricycles similar to the middle-aged woman's followed behind, quickly disappearing into the distance, leaving the customers standing there in a daze.

"Captain, I think that we should not wear our uniforms when we go on a raid the next time. That way, we can catch them in a surprise attack."

A young officer laughed bitterly as he surveyed the chaotic scene littered with rubbish. All the hawkers had already escaped without a trace.

"Ai, these people just refuse to listen no matter how many times we tell them. Setting up stalls randomly like this is really dangerous and poses countless health and safety risks! Furthermore, they always leave behind a ton of oil and rubbish."

The middle-aged captain shook his head and led his team away.

Bei Feng sighed in resignation. His life seemed to be filled with gray and darkness right now. No mater what he tried to do, it would always end badly for him. In that case, he might as well return to the hotel and sleep it off.

If one expected the hotels in the county to be very luxurious, that was impossible. It didn't even have a lift or an escalator. All the guests had to climb the stairs with their own legs in order to reach their rooms.

"Buzz!"

After climbing up three stories to his room, Bei Feng opened the door and turned on the light. The light simply blinked a few times and completely fell silent.

"The light's out?"

Bei Feng flicked the switch a few times but to no avail. Then, he tried to turn on the other appliances. "...A blackout?"

Numerous disgruntled voices also emerged outside of the room as people came out into the hallway because of the sudden blackout.

Bei Feng peeled off his clothes and flopped down onto the bed like a dead fish. His mental and physical state had been strained to the limit today. He fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.

Around midnight, Bei Feng was abruptly awakened by a shrill alarm. 'What's this thick smell of smoke?!'

Bei Feng jumped out of the bed in shock and put on his clothes hurriedly. Large volumes of thick, black smoke roiled through the corridor, and a hearty fire blazed around the stairwell, blocking the exit.

This situation was normally extremely inconceivable! There was such a great commotion and this much smoke, but Bei Feng only reacted to it so late! With his heightened senses, this should be impossible!

"D*mn it!"

Bei Feng cursed in a low voice. With the way the fire was raging around the stairs, getting through it was not an option. Running back into the room, he summoned Extreme Arctic Frost and slashed at the reinforced steel safety bars on the window. Immediately, the window fell apart and vast amounts of glass and metal fell onto the yard below.

Without any hesitation, Bei Feng directly leaped off the building! The layer of muddy ground sunk inwards and revealed numerous crack lines as Bei Feng landed with incredible force.

A large group of people as well as a few fire trucks surrounded the burning hotel.

After successfully escaping from the burning building, Bei Feng finally understood what happened by listening to the onlookers' discussions. After the power outage, a couple had lit up some candles in their room and somehow, the curtains came into contact with the flame and, in a short time, the entire room was ablaze.

Bei Feng wondered if all this would have happened if he wasn't here. Could it be that he was a bringer of misfortune? Or perhaps all this was destined to happen anyway, and the Fox of Natural and Human Calamity only directed him towards all these trouble?

He had a feeling that such disasters would happen regardless of whether he was present or not. After all, it was unlikely that the Fox of Natural and Human Calamity's abilities would implicate other people when its target was only him!

Perhaps it was part of his calamity and bad luck to choose this hotel which was destined to burn down!

Bei Feng walked away from the scene in deep thought as he looked for another hotel to spend the remainder of the night.

Somehow, the other hotels in the county were all filled, and he could not find even a single empty room.

'How come I didn't know that this small county's hotels were doing so well in the past? Where the hell did all these people suddenly come from to fill all the hotel rooms everywhere?!'

Bei Feng gave up on continuing his search and directly lay on a bench in the park. That night felt extremely miserable for him.

The sun finally rose above the wretched figure of Bei Feng. He proceeded to a store selling buns and ordered a few items at random. By the time he was done eating, it was already half past nine. He went back to Jin Bifu's shop and bought a new mobile phone. This time, it did not explode.

Jin Bifu had really given Bei Feng a large discount. A thousand yuan for the latest model in the market, this was likely even lower than the price the fat store owner bought it at! This price was even after Bei Feng insisted on paying more for it! Otherwise, with the price which Jin Bifu originally intended to charge Bei Feng, it might as well be free!

By now, the bank had also opened for business. Bei Feng took out his identification and his new mobile phone as he walked towards its large doors.

As he approached, he saw that there was a group of people surrounding the entrance. Bei Feng groaned inwardly. "D*mnit, could it be that something bad is happening again?"

"Ai, I really don't understand what is in the minds of the young people these days."

An aged grandpa sighed as he walked away from the crowd.

"Grandpa, what's going on there?" Bei Feng ran up to him.

"A youngster came to the bank last night with an excavating machine and dug a hole into the bank. But in the end, not only did he fail to get a single cent, he was even caught by the police. I wonder how long that young fellow would have to spend in jail..."

The old man shook his head and sighed repeatedly in pity over the fate of the young man.

Bei Feng only heard a single sentence in his mind. "The bank's been robbed... robbed... robbed..."

'F*ck, where do I go to get a new banking card now?!'

Bei Feng stood on the spot, staring at the bank dazedly. This was the only branch of his bank in the entire county! There were many locations with just an ATM, but this was the only place with counters and service staff!

'Fine! A good horse cares not for old pastures! I'll just not bank with you!'

Bei Feng made up his mind to switch banks. But after spending a few minutes at the Automatic Card Dispenser for another bank, he realized with much annoyance that it too was out of stock for new cards...
