Chapter 116: A Single Gold Coin (1/2)

Since the qualifying rounds were still not yet over, I decided to head out of the coliseum to grab some food for myself. And needless to say, everywhere I went, people eyed me as if I was some food on a counter in some restaurant.

”Why did you go out?” Someone spoke behind me, making me almost attack that person since she was a threat that sneaked up on my back.

It was Yang Mei Mei.

Sighing, I stepped backward and walked no the same pace as her. ”You know, you should stop sneaking up on people like that, you know. You're getting quite good at it. And when you get good at something, some people tend to perceive it as a threat that endangers their life.”

”B-but... ” Yang Mei Mei pouted. ”I only ever do that with you. I trust you that much hehe~”

What the-

Since I didn't have anything to say after she said her reason, I decided to just keep quiet. Regardless, I decided to walk with her since there was no telling when she'll sneak up on me again. ”So, what do you want to eat?”

Yang Mei Mei's eyes lit up but she didn't say anything. However, from time to time, she would stare at a food stall but she would avert her eyes just as fast as she would glance at it. Obviously, she wanted to partake of the food all around her but she didn't want to say anything.

”If you don't speak out, you and I will both go hungry, you know. We only have so much time before the actual Red Sea Tournament starts.

A blush appeared on Yang Mei Mei's face as she nodded. There were probably things she wanted to tell me, like how her decisions shouldn't decide what I'd eat. Instead, she decided to keep quiet about it.

Well, since she wouldn't say anything, I decided to grab her by the hand and dragged her towards one of the food stalls she was constantly eyeing. ”Can we get two... I mean, make that four skewers, please?”

”That would be four hundred bronze coins, sir.” The man said.

Wait... bronze coins?!

Wait a minute... do I even have money?!

I hastily put my hand inside my storage ring while thinking of coins, but when I pulled out of my storage ring, only a couple of golden-colored coins came out. Who would've thought that I'd still have the money I had before in real life. But... the problem is, the money I have right now is slightly larger than before. Wait, how much is a gold coin worth again?

Just thinking about it made my head hurt so I decided to just hand the gold coin towards the man. ”I'm sorry, I didn't have any bronze nor silver coins with me. You don't have to give me any change or anything.” I casually cupped my hands after handing the gold coin to the man.
