My timeless tavern

Chapter 521 Xiang Yu's Luck

Originally, Xiang Yu was quite confident in his own martial arts skills.

Looking around the world, he didn't think anyone could be his enemy.

However, the powerful guns and cannons in the picture made him feel a chill running down his spine.

Even if the sword in his hand was broken, he would not be able to hurt the steel monster called Tank, right?
And if those missiles were to hit him, even he wouldn't be able to withstand it in his current state.

The artillery roared, as if the end of the world had come!
Those planes, and that atomic bomb that could destroy the world!
Not to mention all that, just those "submachine guns" spewing flames made him feel a huge threat.

As Xiang Yu listened to Li Shimin's introduction, his expression changed repeatedly.

Ying Zheng and Liu Che were also there to help introduce.

They have been in the tavern for quite some time, and their strength has long reached the point where they are not afraid of artillery shells, but they still seem to enjoy seeing these things.

They all knew that with just these guns, it would be easy to conquer a world like theirs.

"With these things, what's the use of the old military books!" Xiang Yu sighed.

"Not entirely," Li Shimin shook his head, "The roots of military tactics are different but the same..."

He spoke of his views eloquently.

The others echoed.

They have all studied the military books of the "future" and know the forms of future warfare.

There are some common points in military strategies from ancient times to the present.

As for the methods of deploying troops and arranging battle arrays, they have changed in every era even without the emergence of guns and cannons.

Xiang Yu had an extraordinary comprehension and quickly figured it out.

He enthusiastically discussed with several people the application of this new weapon in war.

Among the other three, Li Shimin was better at leading troops to fight.

However, Ying Zheng and Liu Che entered the tavern earlier and knew a lot about these modern weapons, so they could talk freely about their own views.

"It's a pity that these things are not sold in the tavern." Xiang Yu chatted with a few people for a while and said regretfully.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "This is a simple matter. You can ask other guests for help in the future."

Ying Zheng also smiled and said, "Mr. doesn't like these things, so he didn't restrict everyone from trading privately."

Xiang Yu's eyes lit up slightly.

He looked around, thinking about who to look for and how to start the conversation, when he suddenly saw a foreign man walking towards them with a smile on his face.

Xiang Yu frowned instinctively.

Deep down, he looked down on these barbarians.

After a moment, he smiled again.

Anyone who can come here, even if he is a foreigner, must be extraordinary.

"Is this the new guy?" Tony asked with a smile.

Xiang Yu stood up, bowed and said, "I am Xiang Yu, nice to meet you, Your Excellency."

"Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu?" Tony was surprised.

This guy has actually heard of my name!
Xiang Yu immediately felt more favorable towards the foreigner in front of him.

He shook his head and said, "Now he is just a defeated general."

Tony laughed, patted his shoulder and said, "There are many talented people in Jiangdong. Who knows if they can make a comeback. Which defeated general can get such praise?"

This barbarian can actually recite poetry!

Xiang Yu immediately looked at him differently.

Seeing his expression, Tony was secretly pleased.

He has learned a lot of knowledge about Eastern culture in private.

He was very familiar with those historical celebrities and had also learned a lot of poetry.

"Live as a hero, die as a heroic ghost. I still miss Xiang Yu, who refused to cross the Yangtze River!" Tony put his left hand behind his back and chanted like Li Bai and others.

"Are you a poet?" Xiang Yu asked in surprise.

He had seen some barbarians.

These people were both savage and shrewd, but what impressed him most was their body odor, which was stronger than that of a black horse.

When it comes to culture or civilization, these people have little to do with it.

"No," Tony shook his head, "Those were all written by others, I was just reciting them."

Ying Zheng introduced: "This is Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man. He is an outstanding scientist and a wealthy man who is as rich as a country."

"Scientist?" Xiang Yu was puzzled.

"Those weapons." Li Shimin reminded.

Thinking of the mushroom cloud of the atomic bomb, Xiang Yu was filled with awe.

Being able to research something like that is very remarkable, even if you are a foreigner.

"You're awesome!" he said sincerely.

Tony didn't know what modesty was, so he said, "Thanks for the compliment, everyone says so."

Xiang Yu was not disgusted by this unmodest response, but rather appreciated it very much.

He asked, "You are the one who invented the weapon called the atomic bomb?"

Although Li Shimin said that the atomic bomb explosion footage was just a test video, he was deeply impressed by it.

If I could get one, put it in an open area and detonate it, then gather all the princes and nobles together to let them see it, it would surely scare these people.

I guess even this old villain Liu Bang would have to surrender in fear!

"Atomic bomb?" Tony wondered.

Seeing the expressions of Li Shimin and others, he realized that Xiang Yu had made a mistake and explained, "That kind of backward weapon is not my research direction."

"Tony is researching something more powerful," Liu Che said, "like the Iron Man suit that can carry people into the air and into the ground..."

At this point, he remembered that he had not yet introduced the treasure house to Xiang Yu, so he said, "I almost forgot. Take a look there."

Xiang Yu's eyes followed the direction of his finger.

When he saw the glittering golden sign of the treasure house, he already had some guesses in his mind.

When he saw the dazzling list of collections, even though he had been shocked by the wine list, he was still shocked.

Axe of Creation, Map of Mountains and Rivers, Heart of the Universe, Copper Coffin of Three Generations, Chaos Fairyland, Precious Lotus Lantern, Flat-horned Green Ox, Azure Dragon, Gene Accelerator...

These treasures are in no way inferior to those incredible wines.

Xiang Yu's gaze became hot again.

Soon, he noticed the Iron Man suit.

After discovering that there were several kinds of battle suits, with prices ranging from hundreds to thousands of time-space coins, his eyes flickered slightly, and he looked up to Tony even more.

From the number of collections, he could tell that the other party was able to produce this kind of thing stably.

The worst of these suits are more expensive than the Green Goblin fortified wine he drinks.

You can imagine their functions!

Tony took the wine glass handed to him by Ying Zheng and sat down next to the others.

He watched Xiang Yu's changing expression with a smile.

When he noticed that the other party glanced at him and that the initial contempt was gone in his eyes and instead there was a lot of admiration, he felt even better.

It is also a happy thing for him to be recognized by such people.

Noticing that Xiang Yu had withdrawn his gaze, he casually took out a gift box from his ring and said with a smile: "This is our first meeting, so don't refuse this small gift."

Seeing the same pattern on the box as Li Shimin's smartwatch, Xiang Yu was delighted. He took it without hesitation and said with a smile, "Then I will be honored to accept it!"

He thought about giving the other party some local specialties as a gift someday.

Or give him a sword?
The other party might not be interested in ordinary swords, so maybe you can find some swords used by celebrities.

While Xiang Yu was thinking secretly, Tony had already started chatting with several people.

The topic of conversation among them was naturally about the newcomer Xiang Yu. He was covered in blood, which was indeed very curious.

Earlier, Xiang Yu had not concealed anything and had briefly told Ying Zheng and others about his experience.

In response to Tony's questions, he happily talked about his own experience.

His tone no longer had the melancholy tone it had before, and had returned to being free and unrestrained, quite like a domineering king.

Hearing him envisioning the future with great enthusiasm, Tony nodded secretly.

He had heard of the King of Western Chu.

In his perception, he thought that the other party was a brave and unparalleled warrior, but now listening to his conversation and knowledge, it is obviously not the case.

Come to think of it, the other party almost became the ruler of that mysterious and powerful country, and it is far from possible to do so by relying on brute force alone.

He just didn't think about it carefully before.

"Brother Xiang just came to the tavern and has never drunk the divine gene wine." Ying Zheng suddenly said.

As he spoke, he looked at Tony meaningfully.

Liu Che and Li Shimin understood what was meant and looked over.

Being stared at by three people, Tony couldn't help but touch his nose. He felt embarrassed and a little depressed.

How could he not understand what these three people meant.

He was notorious for having relatively bad luck in taverns.

Ultimately, it was because he was too obsessed with "proving" himself, and he got deeper and deeper into trouble every time, thus attracting the ridicule of the guests.

And what these three people said at this time clearly had another meaning.

"My money didn't come from the wind!" Tony cursed inwardly.

How could he not have imagined that these three people were treating him as a fool?

What frustrates him most is that even though he has made many friends in the tavern, these guys still secretly exclude him because of his skin color.

He wanted to play dumb, but he heard Xiang Yu ask doubtfully, "What is God's Gene Wine?"

Li Shimin explained it with a smile.

Xiang Yu suddenly realized.

He looked at the wine list, but only briefly, focusing on the wines that were valuable and had the potential to extend life.

The price of God's Gene Wine was five thousand Space-Time Coins, which was not considered high, so he did not pay much attention to it.

After receiving Li Shimin's advice, he took a closer look and immediately shook his head, saying, "This kind of wine is not suitable for me."

"Why?" Tony became interested.

"Drinking this wine is like gambling," Xiang Yu said seriously, "I don't like gambling!"

Li Shimin also showed an interested look and asked, "Weren't you betting on the Battle of Julu?"

Xiang Yu said proudly: "I am confident that I can defeat the Qin army, not gambling!"

Seeing several people looking at him, he continued: "Everything I have is based on my strength!"

At the end, his tone was a little depressed.

I got everything by my strength, but lost everything by luck.

His opponent, on the other hand, always won the bet.

He bet at the Hongmen Banquet that he dared not kill him.

Relying on Han Xin is also a gamble on his talent...

Tony keenly caught the change in his expression, put on a smiling face and said, "Both strength and luck are important. Brother Xiang must have good luck to come to the tavern. Why don't you have a drink?"

This guy really has bad luck.

Even if he managed to turn the tide with his own strength, didn't he still end up committing suicide on the banks of the Wujiang River?
Tony knew this very well, and suddenly he found Xiang Yu in front of him more pleasing to the eye.

Being able to come to the tavern must have used up all his luck. He must be unlucky next, right?

He glanced at Zhu Youjian who was chatting with Tang Bohu not far away.

This king of a fallen country didn't have very good luck.

His crooked tree martial spirit attracted a lot of ridicule in the tavern.

Xiang Yu shook his head vigorously: "No, with so many time and space coins, I might as well buy something else."

"I'll give it to you!" Tony stood up without saying a word, bought a glass of God's Gene Wine, and then handed it to Xiang Yu in front of him.

It was just 5,000 time-space coins, and he could get it by just going around outside.

Xiang Yu hesitated.

He really has no interest in this kind of wine.

It is worth five thousand time and space coins, and can randomly enhance physical fitness by ten to one hundred times, with a chance of gaining a super power.

It sounds good, but what if you are unlucky?
Now he has not been forced into a desperate situation, so there is no need for him to gamble.

With these time-space coins, he can buy a set of nano Iron Man battle suits and have a few glasses of physique-strengthening wine, which will allow him to deal with outside troubles with greater ease.

"Take it," Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Tony doesn't need this little money."

Li Shimin followed up, "He just spent 2.5 million Spacetime Coins to buy a cup of 100,000-year-old Daoxing wine two days ago. This cup of wine is nothing to him!"

Liu Che also said: "Tony is famous for his generosity in the tavern. If you don't accept it, you are not giving him face!"

Tony was greatly pleased by the words of the three people, and the slight dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.

To be praised by these three emperors who are so great in history and the present, others may not be able to get it even if they spend 50,000 time and space coins.

For a moment, he thought that he was judging others by his own mean standards. The three people probably had no other ideas and just regarded him as a rich friend.

Compared with the three of them, he was indeed much richer after entering the starry sky.

After listening to what several people said, Xiang Yu finally took the glass of wine.

"Thank you!" he said.

You'd be stupid not to drink the free wine.

Anyway, once we leave the pub, no one else will know about this.

Holding the wine glass, he secretly thought in his heart, if it doesn't work, then he can take Liu Bang's sword...

No, the First Emperor's sword should be dug out of the tomb and given back to this generous friend.

"Drink it." Tony smiled.

He saw that many people were looking at him with envy.

Those people stared at Xiang Yu, but also looked at him from time to time.

These looks were particularly useful to him.

He is a person who loves to show off. Five thousand time and space coins can attract everyone's attention in the tavern. How can he not be happy?

Under the gaze of everyone, Xiang Yu took a deep breath and raised the wine glass.

The rich aroma of wine washed away the messy thoughts in his mind.

He took a light sniff and without even bothering to taste it, he quickly drank the entire glass of wine.

As the wine entered his stomach, he immediately felt the changes in his body.

The surging heat was many times stronger than when he drank the Green Devil's fortified wine earlier, and it made his face flush.

He squinted his eyes, feeling the warm current rushing through his limbs and bones. The comfortable feeling made him hum softly.

Unfortunately, this feeling comes and goes quickly.

Just when he was about to enjoy himself, everything was gone.

The effect of this glass of wine has been converted into a numerical value and appeared in his mind.

"How's it going?" Tony asked.

"Great!" Xiang Yu opened his eyes and an excited smile appeared on his face.
