Chapter 710: Chapter 243: Poked in the Eye by Li Mu (6835 words)
The sunlight in winter is pale and empty.
Li Xinghai sat in front of a roadside snack stand, watching the beef noodles that only had soup left, almost in tears.
Born and raised in Demon City, he had grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth. He never thought that one day he would resort to having beef noodles at a roadside stand.
What he found even harder to accept was that the beef noodles at the roadside stand were surprisingly delicious!
He wished he could have another bowl…
But he couldn’t.
He had lost all his money.
The battle between Chen Fan and Zong Hao left him penniless instantly.
Now, with debt collection calls flooding in, he felt like he was going insane.
Would it be a good idea to ask for money from home?
But the atmosphere at home was weird too… Ever since his brother Li Xinghe mysteriously died in the Flashing Firefly Swamp, a foul vibe seemed to hang over all the family members.
Li Xinghai sighed.
He looked at the stall owner and said gloomily, “Life never goes smoothly. Poverty, disease, responsibility, and endless pressures follow you, and no one is immune to them. People will inevitably encounter setbacks, but difficulties and helplessness are temporary…”
The noodle stall owner glanced at Li Xinghai and said coldly, “Cut the crap, the beef noodles are only thirty bucks, hurry up and pay!”
Li Xinghai stood up and paid silently.
Just thirty bucks…
But it hurt his heart so bad.
Because…
After paying those thirty bucks, he only had three left in his account.
There’s no other way…
He’d have to leave the city and kill monsters.
Others arrive with armored vehicles.
He could only run there.
Suddenly, Li Xinghai saw an advertisement on the opposite side of the street which read in big, bright letters…
When you’re short of money:
Friends can provide 10,000;
Relatives can provide 50,000;
Siblings can provide 500,000;
Parents can provide 5,000,000!
But the only one who can provide 10 million, 100 million, or even 500 million is me!
Damn… this is the most touching high-interest loan advertisement I’ve ever seen…
Li Xinghai spat.
Part of the money he had borrowed before came from high-interest loans.
He couldn’t just borrow from high-interest loans to repay high-interest loans, could he?
Sigh, even the air smells terrible when I’m feeling down…
At this moment, a sanitation worker came over with a broom and a shovel and said, “Young man, let me pass, you’re stepping on shit.”
Li Xinghai looked down and was dumbfounded.
He tried to suppress his despair and anger and said, “Sir, this should not be dog shit. Look at the shape, the amount, and the smell. It’s more like that of a large carnivorous Guardian Beast…”
The old man looked at Li Xinghai strangely and shook his head as he walked away.
Li Xinghai raised his foot and looked at it. “Did I say something wrong? This is definitely not dog shit. How could dog shit be so big and smelly?”
Suddenly…
Li Xinghai raised his head.
What am I doing?
What the hell am I doing?
I’m already so unlucky that I’ve stepped on shit, and I’m still arguing whether it’s dog shit or not?
Li Xinghai raised his head at a 45-degree angle.
It was said that at this angle, tears would not flow.
Li Xinghai looked around and saw a public toilet not far away.
He sighed, rubbed his shoes on the grass, and walked toward the public toilet to clean his shoes.
But as he approached the public toilet, Li Xinghai suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling in his stomach.
Nevermind, he thought, after washing his shoes, he would go to the toilet as well.
Damn it…
This shabby public toilet only had one stall, and it was filthy!
It didn’t matter…
Li Xinghai went inside, closed the door with a clank, and squatted down.
But as soon as he squatted, someone knocked on the door from outside.
“Occupied!”
Li Xinghai shouted in annoyance.
A young mother then said to her baby, “Honey, be patient, someone is in there!”
Li Xinghai: “…”
Suddenly, the mother said, “Come on, let’s cheer for the uncle inside!”
The tender voices of the mother and the baby rang out…
“Uncle, fighting!”
“Uncle, fighting!”
Li Xinghai was petrified.
How the hell am I supposed to do this!
Some time later, Li Xinghai walked out of the public toilet with a sullen face.
Standing by the road, Li Xinghai felt lost.
Where did I come from?
Where am I going?
A luxury car drove by, slowing down as it passed him.
Feng Tianlin waved from the car, “Li Xinghai? What are you doing standing by the roadside like a statue? Are you planning to sell yourself to pay off the debt?”
Li Xinghai was stunned.
Immediately, he bent down to pick up a stone and threw it at the luxury car that had already driven far away. “Screw your grandpa!”
The stone didn’t catch up with Feng Tianlin’s car.
“I’ll teach that bastard Feng Tianlin a lesson someday!” Li Xinghai said with a gloomy face, heading in the direction Feng Tianlin had left.
First Martial Arts University was also in that direction.
With nowhere to go, Li Xinghai could only return to school for a while and then plan to find a team to enter the Secret Realm.
As he arrived at the entrance of First Martial Arts University…
He saw a large crowd gathered at the school gate.
When Li Xinghai went over to check, he saw Feng Tianlin’s luxury car parked nearby, with flowers covering the ground.
Feng Tianlin held a bouquet of flowers in both hands, kneeling on one knee, and looking at a female student.
Li Xinghai was taken aback.
That female student was their classmate, Summer Yimo!
When Li Xinghai first entered First Martial Arts University, he had seen Summer Yimo and then began his crazy pursuit of her.
