C201 (1/2)
”Thank you, sir.” Riker took the money and said respectfully.
”That's more like it. Let's go have a meal together! ” Remembering the delicious lunch, I patted Riker on the shoulder.
”Alright sir, I'll treat you to dinner, but can I call my sister?” Riker asked.
”Okay, call your family over. I'll treat you. ” I said, smiling.
”Sir, I only have one sister. Our parents died a long time ago.” Rickle said.
The child turned out to be an orphan. Similar to my previous life, I whispered, ”How about this, let's go get your sister!”
”Sir, this isn't good.”
”I usually run over here, it takes me half an hour to run over. If you're riding a car, it would cost two space element.” Riker said somewhat dejectedly, ”Two space element s is enough for me and my sister to eat for two days.”
Only eat one space element a day? It was probably similar to Sixth Realm's steamed bread and pickled vegetables. Riker was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he had to make money to keep a sister. What a tough boy.
I patted Riker on the shoulder and said, ”Let's go. We'll run back. I haven't had any exercise in a long time.”
”Sir, here.”
”Lead the way!”
Riker finally started to run. To my surprise, Riker was fast!
”Yes sir, I am a ninth level sixth stage cultivator now.” Riker replied as he ran.
”Brother G, they mentioned the word 'Duan' several times. What do they mean by that?” I asked in my head.
Duck replied lazily, ”It's actually very simple. From level nine to level one, each level was divided into nine levels. For example, a level nine stage meant someone who had just become a cultivator, and a level nine stage meant someone who was on the verge of reaching level eight. Do you understand? ”
”Understood. ”Brother G, after I finish eating dinner, we'll start our operation tonight. You should prepare yourself first, we'll see how you act after that.” I fawned over him with a smack of my fawning. A male duck's voice is someone who likes to listen to others fawning on him the most. After fawning on him for a bit, he floated away.
”Wahahaha.” Just you wait and see how much power G will display! ” The male duck laughed lewdly.
Riker was fast, and I could barely keep up with him without using the power of time. Every time Rickle slowed down, I told him not to slow down. I knew this wasn't Riker's speed.
Gradually, we left the downtown area.
Riker opened his mouth and said, ”Sir, this is the commoner district of the Thunder City. The house was left behind by my parents, otherwise my sister and I would have no place to live.”
”We're almost there.” Riker pointed ahead.
”Sister,” he said to the watch, ”brother has brought a guest with you. You should get dressed properly.”
Not long later, Riker's watch vibrated, Riker pressed his button, and an anxious young girl's voice came out: ”Brother, please do not come back for now, Yin Zhan and the rest are waiting for you downstairs!”
”What's wrong? Rickle. ” I vaguely guessed that someone was looking for trouble with Riker.
Yin Zhan and I are in the same school, moreover, we are in the same class, he disdained my family's bad luck, so he would always find an excuse to bully me, but it's nothing much. Just let them beat you up. ”
”Let them beat him up? Riker, from your tone, has this been happening many times? ” I asked, frowning.
”Yes sir, I don't have any money, I can't retaliate. Otherwise, I would have to compensate you for the medical fees that are not cheap, I really don't have any more money to compensate you. Moreover, they were only targeting me and never bullied my sister. Rickle had maturity that did not belong to this age group.
”Riker, it's good not to cause trouble, but if trouble comes up, you take a step back and the other side will take a step closer, you know? Do you want to spend your life like this? ” Seeing that Riker was so sensible, I couldn't help but say a few more words.
”Sir, thank you for your kind intentions. When I get beaten up, you better not interfere. Don't worry, they will at most let me suffer some superficial wounds. ” Riker said with a smile. He knew he was going to be beaten, but he could still smile. He was either a masochist or was too sensible. Obviously, Rickle belonged to the latter.
No matter where it was, this dark side of humanity would always exist. They would always think that they were noble, always believing that they were superior to others.
There weren't many passers-by here. As they walked forward, three shadows suddenly jumped out from the roadside. It was three boys around the same age as Riker.
”Ha.” ”Riker, you coward, you finally showed up.” A mocking voice sounded.
