The City of Terror Chapter 121 - Entering The Dust World Again!

Chapter 121 - Entering the Dust World Again!

    The difference between their strength was too big.

    When it came to the fatty, he was only an underground fighter at the positive jing level. He relied on his weight to resist attacks and let out powerful blows. On the stage, his win rate was big, but he was completely crushed by Wei Xiao Bei who was already at the negative jing level with 17 point in strength and 15 points in agility.

    Wei Xiao Bei had completely surpa.s.sed his opponent in terms of power, speed, flexibility, and other factors.

    From any angle, Wei Xiao Bei had far surpa.s.sed a normal person's parameters.

    Even if a normal person were to take stimulants and dope themselves up, they would not be able to even reach Wei Xiao Bei's toes.

    160,000! This was Wei Xiao Bei's reward.

    Zhou Yuan Ming had even thought of representing the Lou Lan Club to sign a five year contract with Wei Xiao Bei. In the contract, Wei Xiao Bei will represent the Lou Lan Club in a few fights. He could even be sent abroad to join the World Underground Fighting Compet.i.tions.

    Moreover, the reward was not small. Every year Wei Xiao Bei would be given 1 million yuan, and this amount did not even include his appearance pay. He would also be paid three years of reward during signing.

    In other words, as long was Wei Xiao Bei was willing to sign the contract, he would immediately get 3 million yuan as a reward. And this did not even include the appearance fee that would be added.

    If it was a different underground fighter, they would not even think of rejecting the contract. Who would not be willing to earn 5 million yuan?

    However, Wei Xiao Bei rejected the contract in front of the amazed Zhou Yuan Ming.

    He was not rejecting it because the money was too small. After all, as someone who worked for a real estate company before, 5 million yuan was truly a shocking amount.

    However, if he was still working at the real estate company, he would never have earned this much money in his entire life.

    Even in underground fights, with Wei Xiao Bei not being famous enough, it would take at least 30 wins before he could earn that much money.

    150 - 160 thousand was the limit of such a local arena like the Lou Lan Club.

    Wei Xiao Bei was not too greedy for money anymore. Even if he had that much money, dying as he risked his life in The Dust World would make it all useless.

    Having just the right amount of money to use was already good enough for him.

    After leaving the Lou Lan Club, Wei Xiao Bei checked the amount of money in his atm card.

    Because Wei Xiao Bei did not spend much these past days, the amount of money he had in his account had now reached 270 thousand yuan.

    Wei Xiao Bei laughed at himself. If he worked as he did before and saved 200 yuan a month, who knew how long it would take to reach this amount of money.

    After returning to the dojo, Wei Xiao Bei lied down on the bed and thought of a question. It had been a long time since he had called home.

    He woke up early the next day and trained. After eating breakfast, he greeted his master and then left the dojo.

    When he came to the bank, he hesitated for a bit, and eventually sent 50,000 yuan back home.

    Originally, he had planned to send back 200,000 yuan, since he was not going to use the money anyway. 70,000 yuan was already enough for him to live on for the next few years.

    Moreover, the situation back at home was quite serious.

    His father, Wei Xiang Dong, used to be a normal worker at a state run industrial plant. His mother Xiao Hong, was an elementary school teacher. Wei Xiao Bei had a little brother and little sister below him. His little brother, Wei Xiao Peng, was a 3rd year senior high school student, while his little sister, Wei Xiao Yun, was a third year middle school student.

    With two studying youths back home, the amount of money needed to pay for books and school needs was not small. Also, if Wei Xiao Peng entered college, the expenditure would be even greater.

    Adding on to the situation, when Wei Xiao Bei had just retired from the army, his father's work place had gone bankrupt and had to be reorganized. After being laid off, they could only rely on their mother's wage.  

    This was also the reason why Wei Xiao Bei ran to Cui Hu City to find work.

    Though this was the case, even if their home needed money, if Wei Xiao Bei just sent 200,000 yuan directly, his parents would become worried.

    However, when Wei Xiao Bei called back home, he was still not able to escape his mother's nagging, “My eldest child, where did you get so much money? Could it be that you did something bad?”

    Wei Xiao Bei bitterly smiled. His mother still loved to nag. However, compared to the time he was still studying, he did not feel annoyed at her nagging now. Her mother was correct that this money did not come from doing good things. The money was covered in blood.

    However, Wei Xiao Bei was not a saint. He was also risking his life to earn this money. If he lost, his life would also be lost. As a result, he had a clear conscience towards this money.

    After persuading his mother for a while, his mother was finally calmed down. He told her that he was not working a normal job anymore. He had already entered into disciples.h.i.+p under the Cheng Clan Dojo. He also told her that the money came from martial arts compet.i.tions that he joined. This had let his mother feel at ease.

    In truth, this was the first time Wei Xiao Bei lied to his mother, but the result this time was not bad. At the very least, his mother was not that worried anymore. However, in the next instant, his mother made a request, and that was for Wei Xiao Bei to attend a marriage interview.

    The reason was because Wei Xiao Bei was already 24 years old. Most of Wei Xiao Bei's cla.s.smates had already married.

    This request made Wei Xiao Bei's scalp tingle. The image of the two families in a coffee shop entered his brain.

    “Mom, I am still young. There is no need for this yet, right?”

    For a moment, Wei Xiao Bei's mind was in disarray. He felt as if he could not find the words to dodge this issue.

    However, his mother did not force him. She only told him that he must return before Chinese New Year.

    It was currently the 27th of October. In other words, Wei Xiao Bei had at most 3 months to return and go to the marriage interview.

    Wei Xiao Bei had no other choice in this matter anymore, so it was decided that he had to return before Chinese New Year.

    If it was only returning for Chinese New Year, Wei Xiao Bei would be very happy, but thinking that he had to attend a marriage interview once he returned gave him a big headache.

    After hanging up, Wei Xiao Bei walked to the nearest supermarket and bought a few things before directly returning to his apartment.

    Wei Xiao Bei finally snapped out of it when he lied down on the bed. He should have told her that he had a girlfriend already, but if he did that his mother would have surely asked to bring her back.

    If it was like that, he needed to ask either Zhang Tian Tian or Li Lan Xing for help.

    When he thought about it, he felt like he was about to vomit blood. He thought that a melodramatic plot might fall upon him like those tv shows that were shown on the television.

    He thought about what would happen if he rented a girlfriend to deal with this problem.

    If it was Zhang Tian Tian, then it would not be bad. Wei Xiao Bei knew that she had a good opinion of him. The only question was whether the other party would agree or not. After all, this matter was only a transaction. For a girl, this could also be seen as Wei Xiao Bei having some sort of interest in her.

    Li Lan Xing, on the other hand, would subconsciously remind Wei Xiao Bei of Huang Da Jun's death. Now that Li Lan Xing was single again, he could ask her for help. However, in reality, Li Lan Xing did not know that Huang Da Jun was dead. Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei did not know how Li Lan Xing had actually felt about Huang Da Jun.

    What a Headache!

    Wei Xiao Bei threw this pain in the a.s.s to the back of his mind. He lied down on the bed and did some breathing techniques to calm his mind.

    It had already been a month since he last entered The Dust World, so he did not know what the situation was currently like in there.

    He did not know why, but he held a strange expectation within him.

    He extended his hand, grabbed a bottle, and twisted the cap open. The clear liquor brought out a rich and mellow taste as he drunk it.

    This liquor was made by the Cui Hu Wine Factory and was stored in their cellars for ten years. Although it could not be compared to famous wine brands, it was still well known for its rich and mellow flavour.

    Wei Xiao Bei did not lack money, so he bought this wine and decided to enjoy his drinking from now on.

    After a bottle, Wei Xiao Bei felt slightly dizzy, but he was still far from directly falling asleep. This made him bitterly smile.

    With his vitality exceeding 17 points and reaching the negative jing level, liquor with 57% alcohol content was not even enough to get him drunk.

    Luckily, there was a promotion on this liquor. Buy 5 take 1. And Wei Xiao Bei had bought 20 bottles of it, so there were a total of 24 bottles. As a result, he was not worried that he would not have enough to drink.

    After another bottle, he felt the dizziness become stronger. Only when he finished the third bottle did he finally fall asleep.

    …...

    Wei Xiao Bei felt that good wine was truly different. He shook his head, and although he did not feel comfortable, there was no feeling of a headache coming as a result of drinking too much.

    After leaping up from bed, he steadied his thoughts. Sure enough, he had returned to The Dust World and appeared inside his apartment.

    On the way to the desert, Wei Xiao Bei began forming a question.

    Should I try entering The Dust World from a different place?

    However, he immediately dispelled this thought as it was simply too dangerous.   

    Locations in reality and the Dust World did not match. If he entered The Dust World from a different place and appeared at the bottom of Lake Cui or perhaps the hideout of the Citizen of Long Bo, he had really played himself hard.

    At the very least, before his power reached a certain level, he could not even entertain this question.

    With a safe location, he temporarily did not need to try other places just yet.

    After jumping up the walls and pa.s.sing through the streets, he once again reached the desert. Wei Xiao Bei lightly exhaled. He thought about the Mercenaries that he had previously encountered, hoping that he would not meet such a strange situation again.

    His journey in the desert was not that smooth sailing.

    The path that he had previously cleared up was once again filled with Giant Black Scorpions.

    However, he was still able to deal with these Giant Black Scorpions easily due to his previous experience.

    When a scorpion approached Wei Xiao Bei about to attack, Wei Xiao Bei did not move at all. He only reached out with his left hand and grabbed at the underside of the stinger. With a light chop, the tail was was cleanly cut off.

    Next, Wei Xiao Bei swung the tail and smashed the scorpion to the ground. His left leg raised high, almost to his shoulder and then unleashed its force on the scorpion's head. A huge shockwave instantly smashed the scorpion's sh.e.l.l to pieces, with even the soft tissue inside turning into minced meat.
