Metal conducts electricity, but it didn't affect Bai Li Xingchi much, only that lightning flashed on his sword and shield.
Xie Shi's lightning was as thick as an adult's arm, and when it struck, the ground would crack.
"Ah..."
Xu Qian's eyes were glued to the fight, her mouth obediently agape.
[Ding, Tang Zhishhen's favorability +3, total favorability is 43.]
Tang Zhishhen's lips moved slightly as he carefully placed a candied date into her mouth.
"Is it sweet?"
"Sweet."
Suddenly, Bai Li Xingchi raised his hand and waved. In a short while, a metal humanoid as tall as him materialized beside him.
He pointed with his finger, and the metal humanoid immediately attacked Xie Shi.
Xu Qian's mouth widened slightly. Can he do that too?
"Spit it out."
The young girl blinked, snapping back to reality.
The man's palm was facing upwards, right below her chin.
Spit the pit into Tang Zhishhen's hand?
Xu Qian's scalp tingled. Should she... spit it out?
She was spoiled, but she had her limits.
Tang Zhishhen glanced at her slightly flushed cheeks and smirked. So she was afraid of this?
"Go ahead and spit."
The man even moved his palm upward, insisting she spit it out.
The young girl mumbled, "Can I have a tissue?"
To spare her last shred of shyness.
Suddenly, the man lowered his head and blew a puff of air onto her face, like a rogue.
"Your face is as red as a monkey's butt right now."
With that said, Xu Qian opened her mouth and spat the pit into his palm, not caring if it was dirty.
Tang Zhishhen wasn't angry at all. He squeezed the wet date pit in his palm, his heart stirred, and he leaned down to kiss her rosy lips.
The fight raged on, while here, love was intoxicating.
Except for the first two matches, Xu Qian found the subsequent fights rather dull.
The clash between the two strong fighters, Bai Li Xingchi and Xie Shi, was like a collision of Mars and Earth. The tricks were numerous, and she suffered aesthetic fatigue.
Seeing that Xu Qian was indeed losing interest, Tang Zhishhen took her hand and led her out.
Only a few people were in the lobby of the fighting arena. Everyone else was inside watching the matches. A single ticket cost 50 crystal cores, so no matter how boring it was, they had to watch.
"Where do you want to eat?"
Xu Qian touched her bulging stomach. She had just eaten her fill...
Suddenly, a woman's voice drifted over. It wasn't loud, but both of them heard it very clearly.
"Tomorrow, I'll definitely gather the crystal cores tomorrow. Can you give me one more day?"
"My daughter has been staying here for over half a year. I wouldn't lie to you, would I?"
"Thank you, thank you."
A woman was hunched in the corner, wearing a gray vest and black trousers, her hair disheveled. She was crying hysterically, hugging her knees.
Their lives were originally good. Six months ago, her daughter suddenly developed leukemia and urgently needed hospitalization.
The treatment-type abilities had little effect on this disease, so... all the necessary medicine had to be dispensed from the laboratory, which was expensive. Within three months, all the crystal cores in her possession were gone.
She could only desperately take on missions and do odd jobs. Perhaps heaven was kind, because two days ago, the hospital said there was a very suitable bone marrow transplant available, costing 2000 crystal cores.
For hospitalization and medication fees, her pockets were emptied as soon as money came in. Where could she get so many crystal cores...
She had no choice but to take a risk and enter the fighting arena, but... she hadn't even won a single match.
A man and a woman walked past her without stopping.
There were too many unfortunate people in the apocalypse.
Tang Zhishhen gently rubbed her palm with his fingertip and whispered, "She's Yu Ping. Don't you want to help?"
"If I have to help everyone, then I probably wouldn't be able to go home with you tonight."
The man chuckled, "I can still help with what's within my capability."
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow and didn't reply.
It wasn't her money anyway, so it didn't matter.
