Xie Chiyuan fits the criteria of being powerful and influential, but as for whether he's rich or not...
Yu An looked up, his eyes, visible through the deer mask, clear and innocent. He asked Xie Chiyuan nervously, "Xie Chiyuan, do you still have enough money for a wife?"
Last time at the casino, Xie Chiyuan was swindled out of all his savings for his wife!
Xie Chiyuan lowered his eyes and met his gaze: "That's all, so if I need money later, I'll leave you here as collateral."
Yu An: "!"
This won't do!
Xie Chiyuan, however, seemed to instantly connect the dots, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes. He chuckled, "This really is like gambling; if you don't have enough money for a wife, you have to pawn it—"
"Pledge, mortgage your little lackey!"
Yu An interrupted him haltingly, not letting him continue.
Xie Chiyuan narrowed his eyes, but seeing the boy's ears turn red, his mood wasn't ruined by his "little follower."
The underground venue was divided into many sections.
There are bloody battlegrounds, auction houses perfect for treasure hunting, and even more erotic, unspeakable places.
In short, during the underground casino's open hours, as long as you have enough capital to enter, you can do whatever you want and get whatever you desire.
Xie Chiyuan led Yu An, followed the route, and went to a small window where people were queuing.
The queue wasn't long, and there were only a few people scattered around.
Soon, it was Xie Chiyuan and Yu An's turn.
Xie Chiyuan called to Yu An, "Write down the question you want to ask and pass it through the window. If the person on the other side is willing to answer it for you, you only need to pay a small fee to receive the answer."
Upon hearing this, Yu An was somewhat tempted.
He looked at the small window, eager to try: "Xie Chiyuan, if I don't have enough to pay the fees, can you lend me some? You can deduct it from my salary from now on."
He's currently training on the island, and he gets paid for his missions!
Although it wasn't as high as Xie Chiyuan's salary, Yu An was already very satisfied.
Seeing that it was their turn in line, Xie Chiyuan didn't have time to tease him, so he replied, "Go ahead and write it. I'll pay your fee."
"Thanks!"
Yu An smiled and mentally gave Xie Chiyuan a big "good guy" card.
Xie Chiyuan wrote first, and his first question was: "Is the A10 variant in the North District?"
The second question: "Where are the many variants of the virus?"
Both questions were crammed into the small window.
The answer wouldn't be given immediately. So Xie Chiyuan stepped aside and waited for Yu An to write down the question.
Yu An hesitated for a moment.
The question he's going to write about is definitely about Zai Zai. But if he asks about Zai Zai's whereabouts, will the other person guess his relationship with Zai Zai?
After thinking for a few seconds, Yu An still didn't miss the opportunity.
He buried his head and wrote earnestly, "I want to know where A10 is?"
Following this format, he continued writing: "I want to know where A01 is?"
He wrote down the names of all the missing babies. Except for A06 and A09, those two babies are still at the hotel.
After writing down the question, Xie Chiyuan received a reply that could be answered.
Yu An's question, however, was unanswerable.
Seeing Xie Chiyuan answer his questions, Yu An felt both frustrated and envious.
Seeing this, Xie Chiyuan lowered his head and said to him, "It's okay, I'll show you the answer to my question."
Yu An said listlessly, "Your question isn't what I wanted to ask, and your answer is useless to me."
Xie Chiyuan raised an eyebrow slightly and told him his two questions.
The next second.
Yu An's eyes lit up instantly, like a puppy's. He grabbed Xie Chiyuan's arm and said, "I want to see the answer!"
He wants to see both A10's and Duoduo's answers!
Xie Chiyuan let him cross his arms, but didn't take him to get the answers immediately. The answers would be delivered later, but they would have to wait a while.
Yu An stood outside, completely unaware that a pair of eyes suddenly stared straight at him through the small window where he was handing over his question.
Many, many people asked about the whereabouts of the mutants.
However, it's not common to ask about 8-bit aberration variants of the A sequence all at once. Even if someone does ask, they usually have their own specific purpose in finding these A sequence aberration variants.
Only the boy not far away was too innocent.
"Since we won't get an answer anytime soon, would you like me to take you for a stroll?" Xie Chiyuan was too lazy to stand still. He glanced around and exchanged a few candies at the vending machine.
The candy smells very fragrant; it has a fruity aroma.
Yu An enjoyed the food very much.
Seeing this, Xie Chiyuan exchanged another bag full for him.
Yu An touched the bag of candy, a little uneasy: "Is this candy expensive?"
Xie Chiyuan said calmly, "Not expensive, one cent each."
Upon hearing this, Yu An felt relieved.
A stranger nearby, who had overheard their conversation, became curious and decided to exchange some candy as well. But when he got to the machine and saw the price tags on the candy, his lips twitched.
¥500 coins/piece.
The candy, which cost 500 yuan a piece, was said by that man to be worth only one cent. He realized then that he had encountered a lovesick fool.
Yu An, chewing on a candy, followed Xie Chiyuan upstairs to the auction house.
They didn't bid on a single item at the auction, from beginning to end.
There's nothing I can do. With auction items costing tens of millions at a time, this sucker, who has no savings left and only a little bit of his own money, simply can't afford them.
Yu An looked at the auction items and yawned.
"This floor is no fun, let's go to another one."
"good."
Yu An yawned as Xie Chiyuan led him outside. After a few steps, he pointed to the stairs: "Let's go to the first floor. It's so lively there. I can hear everything from here."
The first floor was the bloodiest fighting arena. Xie Chiyuan hesitated as he looked at him, seemingly considering whether or not to agree.
"Go ahead, I think it'll be lively."
Yu Ankun's voice was a little sticky, and the sticky ending sounded like a coquettish tantrum to Xie Chiyuan's ears.
After Yu Anlian said "Go" twice, the stairwell lights came on.
Xie Chiyuan led Yu An to the first floor.
Before going, he repeatedly warned Yu An: "The first floor is too noisy, and there may be a lot of bloody scenes inside. If you feel uncomfortable, we will leave."
Yu An mumbled "uh-huh" incoherently.
He only felt uncomfortable after seeing zombies eating people. There were no zombies in the underground arena, so it was impossible for him to see any zombies eating people.
Even if the fight gets a bit brutal in the boxing ring, he's mentally prepared.
Yu An, who thought he was mentally prepared, went to the fighting arena on the first floor.
Xie Chiyuan chose a seat that was neither too close nor too far away, and Yu An sat down next to him.
The two of them had a perfect view of the fighting arena.
As the new fighting arena began to fill with fighters, one of them was a tall, muscular man, and the other was—
Not human.
It's a wild beast, like a Tibetan Mastiff.
Xie Chiyuan had seen similar situations before, but he never expected to run into one tonight.
The fight begins.
The men initially had the upper hand, but before the audience could even cheer, the situation on the field reversed.
The beast's teeth, still covered in bits of meat, bit down hard on the strong man's waist.
The moment blood splattered, Xie Chiyuan raised his hand and covered Yu An's eyes.
"Don't look."
Xie Chiyuan's deep voice rang in Yu An's ears, dispelling the panic in his eyes.
Xie Chiyuan covered his ears, but he could still hear the sounds: the crunching of teeth chewing on flesh and blood, and the desperate howls of a man.
I wonder if fear affected my brain.
For a fleeting moment, Yu An felt as if she had been to this place before.
However, he didn't sit in the stands; he stood below them.
"An'an".
Xie Chiyuan reassured him, asking, "Let's stop looking. The answer should be out now."
The answers to his two questions have indeed been found.
The answer to A10 is no.
And the Dodo mutant, he is right here.
Below the first floor, there is a small space filled with trinkets, such as a little piece of junk that someone sent to "exercise."
The little good-for-nothing was filthy all over; who knows how many places he'd been to these past few days.
I had many cuts on my body when I was here.
He clutched a dusty gray feather in his small hand. I heard he was lucky; the day before yesterday, when he was about to die, he encountered a secret mutant being transferred.
