The business of this fighting arena was quite good, and there were a lot of people at the automatic exchange machines. Except for the tall Abu, everyone was submerged in the crowd.
“Hold on, hold on tight.” Nibru said while carefully protecting his wallet.
“Follow me.” In the end, Abu stepped forward and pulled up a demon standing in front of him like a carrot, and while glaring at the other person, he threw the demon out casually.
And then the next one, and the next one.
“Come here, come here.” Throwing out six demons in a row, Abu waved to Ji Huan and the others, and put the people in the empty spots that he’s vacated. He took the lead to stand at the front, and let Naji stand at the end.
“Watch it carefully, if anyone wants to throw you out like I did with the others just now, you will hit him.” Abu said to Naji.
How can he hit someone with those skinny arms? Nibru thought anxiously.
However, Naji patted his thin and small chest, indicating that there is no problem.
Amid Nibru’s worries, a group of people quickly lined up at the location. Abu reached into his arms and inserted a golden card into the machine.
In order to facilitate the settlement of players’ bonuses, there are many automatic cash withdrawal machines in the fighting arena, where you can check the balance and withdraw money.
Abu quickly withdrew the money.
“I’m rich again!” Grabbing the money spit out by the machine, Abu exhaled deeply.
It was a large and full money bag, which could be described as heaven and earth compared to the money that those demons had taken out before. Nibru noticed that the demons who had been eyeing them to rob their spots shifted their gazes after Abu took out the money.
The currency of this machine is measured in units of gold bars, and the bigger the money bag, the more victories the demon has and the higher his rank.
Reward for winning a game on the grey fighting platform is only a few tens of coins, but the prize money on the cyan fighting platform is at least twenty times greater!
In the entire hall, there were only a handful of demons who could get a money bag like Abu’s. For a moment, no demon dared to approach them, and Abu and his group became the focus of attention in the hall. Those gazes were either awe or estimation. For this kind of measurement, Abu only looked around a few times and then firmly tied the bulging wallet to his waistband.
“Abu, it seems that you are a formidable fighter!” Even a layman like Nibru knows what that money bag represents.
“I am just so and so, by the way….” Abu waved his hand, and then looked at Ji Huan.
Ji Huan shook his head: “I lost my card.”
His card was placed in the waiter’s locker in the Saroye Fighting Arena, and he didn’t even take it with him when he left. Although the daily salary was not very high, he received three big tips.
However, Ji Huan didn’t feel regretful at all. He was already very fortunate to be able to come out alive from there.
“Mr. Ji Huan, are you also a fighter?” Ji Huan looked a bit taller than himself, but he didn’t look like a powerful demon, so Nibru was a little surprised.
“I was a waiter, and I also had a card, which included daily salary and other expenses.” Ji Huan explained it in this way, and Nibru quickly understood.
Perhaps Naji was also a waiter– he glanced at the little demon behind him who looked like a bean sprout.
Naturally, the little grey devil didn’t have a card, and then came the old demon.
This… doesn’t look like a player ! But——
No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t look like a waiter either!
The old demon tremblingly stuffed the card into the ATM, and when the other party entered the password, Nibru turned his head away as if to avoid suspicion, but just as he turned his head—
“ΘΔ!” A roar came from the direction of the cash machine, accompanied by a huge bang, and when Nibru turned around, he was stunned to find that the cash machine in front of him had disappeared.
One of the old demon’s slender legs was raised in the air, and the slippers on his feet flew out.
Abu hurriedly carried back the cash machine in the corner, and picked up the stinky shoe of the old demon by the way.
The cash machine in the fighting arena can be said to have the best anti-riot performance, but in the end, it is still a cash machine——
Nibru looked at the deep slipper prints on the cash machine, and just by looking at the shoe size on the sole of the slippers, his heart trembled a little.
“What, what’s wrong?” Nibru asked in a low voice.
“Damn it! The balance on the card is negative! I even have to pay the rest of the gambling money!”
“…”
Nibru: So this is a gambler.
Fighters, waiters, gamblers…they really have all kinds of people in their group.
With the old man’s kick, the demons around them were even more afraid to approach them.
Who here hasn’t kicked a cash machine a few times! But there are not many people who can kick the cash machine like this!
When everyone was too afraid to breathe, Naji took out his gold card and went over.
Abu’s ability to read characters is not as good as his ability to understand numbers. He can also withdraw money digitally, but he is not very good at it. At the end of the first game, there wasn’t much money to withdraw, and when he found that Naji couldn’t read numbers, Abu simply taught him to look for the “full withdrawal” button.
This time, Naji also directly pressed the “full withdrawal” button.
Suddenly there was a clattering sound inside the cash machine, and the largest money bag soon appeared at the withdrawal port. Naji had just grabbed that money bag, and the second big money bag was waiting there soon. Naji picked up five money bags in total. At this moment, the cash machine suddenly made a “squeak” sound.
“The balance of the cash machine is insufficient, and the cash machine is malfunctioning. Please contact the on-site staff and continue to withdraw money from other machines. Thank you.” A mechanical female voice came from the cash machine.
Everyone’s gaze then shifted from the old demon to the thin demon that looked like a bean sprout.
“How could it be possible?”
“The machine is broken!”
Immediately, the demons who were watching in the hall exclaimed loudly. Naji was a little at a loss. He wanted to take out the card, but after a few attempts, it still didn’t come out.
In the end, Naji could only look at Ji Huan as if asking for help. Ji Huan quickly leaned over and was stunned when he saw the remaining total amount displayed on the machine. However, he remained calm and took out his phone. Following the instructions next to the machine, he dialed the number mentioned there.
The staff of the fighting arena was swift and resolute, and soon a special person arrived. After a brief inspection of the machine, Naji and others were respectfully invited to a very luxurious room.
The remaining money was turned into a withdrawal atm card, which was in Naji’s hands at the moment, and the five big money bags were placed on the table unharmed, along with a lot of drinks.
Several staff members of the fighting arena sat across from Naji with smiles on their faces, inquiring about Naji’s work at the previous fighting arena, and then proposed a series of preferential conditions, hoping that Naji could come here to work.
There were a total of five million gold bars in Naji’s card!
The fighters who can accumulate this amount on the card are top fighters no matter which arena they are in! Upon hearing a large withdrawal notice from the withdrawal office, the staff in the fighting arena immediately became excited.
“So, Naji, you are so powerful…” After finally getting away, when Nibru looked at Naji again, it was like seeing a monster.
Naji scratched his head and smiled.
“Naji, you are already a millionaire now! Have you ever thought about what to do with the five million?” Nibru changed the subject to a lighter topic.
“Stones. I….. I want to buy stones.” Naji said seriously.
“They should be very heavy and unbreakable.” He also had clear requirements.
Abu and Ji Huan looked at each other and smiled slightly. Adan shrank in the backseat with his eyelids drooping on his cheeks, as if he had fallen asleep.
“Do you like big stones? Okay, I’ll keep an eye out for you.”
It was getting late, and seeing that Nibru was a bit tired, Ji Huan asked him to drive them back.
All the big and small demons in the car fell asleep.
Abu and Adan were snoring, while Naji was squeezed between the two and slept peacefully, with five bags full of gold bars placed in front of his knees.
Ji Huan glanced at the back seat, and then at the little grey devil who was being held on his lap.
The little grey devil’s eyes were still open, but…
Ji Huan stretched out his hand and closed his eyes. When the hand left, the little devil’s eyes finally closed.
When the car drove into the yard, it was five minutes before four o’clock in the morning. The yard was quiet, and only a few garden lights were dimly lit, while most of the windows in the building ahead were dark, and only one room’s light was on.
“Alright, we are almost here.” Stopping the car, Nibru said to everyone.
Don’t you live here?
At first, Ji Huan wanted to ask this question, but he suddenly thought of something, and just thanked Nibru.
Abu and the others had already woken up when the car was about to stop.
Even if Yefar’s demons are asleep, there will always be a trace of consciousness that would constantly be awake.
They quickly returned to their previous room to rest.
But Ji Huan couldn’t sleep.
He wanted to put the meat he brought back in the refrigerator, but thinking of the light that was still on, Ji Huan reopened the bag.
The kitchen of this house has all the necessary utensils and materials, and he found a suitable pot without any difficulty. Ji Huan cleaned the pot and started cooking soup.
If someone looked from the outside now, there would be two bright windows in this white building.
One was in the middle of the third floor, and one was in the kitchen on the first floor.
The same yellow lights complement each other.
As the aroma of the broth in the pot grew stronger, Ji Huan took out his phone and wanted to send a text message to Ah Jin, but he didn’t know if that would disturb the other party.
Then he simply sat on the kitchen chair in a daze.
For Ji Huan, there are very few opportunities to be in a daze.
At this time last night, he wasn’t sure about his life or death, but today he can slowly cook a pot of soup in the kitchen again.
He doesn’t know how Grandpa and Hei Dan are doing now, but Ji Huan feels like returning home.
At this moment, Ji Huan suddenly smelled the fragrance of tea.
Turning his head in the direction of the fragrance, he saw the man standing at the entrance of the kitchen whom he had hesitated to send a text to for a long time.
It’s Ah Jin.
Wearing a white shirt, a pair of black trousers, and polished leather shoes.
He didn’t know for long he was standing there, he was always silent, so quiet.
Ji Huan noticed that the other party was carrying a pot.
There were two cups in his hand.
Ji Huan suddenly remembered what had happened a long time ago.
At that time, whenever he secretly ate in the corridor outside Ah Jin’s door, Ah Jin would show up. Apart from coming empty handed for the first time, Ah Jin would always bring various types of tea whenever he came.
“Do you want some soup?” Ji Huan got up from the chair.
Ah Jin nodded, and Ji Huan quickly went to serve the soup. When two bowls of soup were placed on the kitchen bar, Ah Jin also made two cups of tea and came out.
It wasn’t until he picked it up that Ji Huan realised it wasn’t tea, but the familiar taste of Yak.
“I’ve finished drinking the tea I brought.” Ah Jin said.
“Yak is also delicious.” Picking up the cup, Ji Huan took a big sip.
The author has something to say: The two are not currently in a romantic relationship.
For Ah Jin, Ji Huan only represents an experience, and Ji Huan is the remnant of that experience.
He also doesn’t have any bad feelings towards Ji Huan.
