Chapter 933 - Underground Casino!
Chapter 933 Underground Casino!
After five busy days, The Wang Shop resumed its peacefulness again. During this time, Ling Lan had just finished traveling around Planet Muyang.
Ling Lan felt refreshed after being here for a while, so she felt that it was time to leave. She bought the tickets for the spacecraft that would be departing three days later.
Liu Aihua and Liu Aijun were sad to know that their Brother Jiang Hui was about to leave. Even Wang Qi, who didn’t like Ling Lan at the start, felt dejected when he heard this piece of news.
Ling Lan had constantly given him much of the latest news of the outside world. (With Little Four around, Ling Lan could get any information she wanted.) This was something Wang Qi couldn’t easily get on Planet Muyang. In doing so, Wang Qi had unconsciously started respecting Ling Lan. He also started to acknowledge her as his brother.
“Brother Hui, you haven’t seen our underground arena before, right?” One day, when Ling Lan came to fetch Liu Aihua again, Wang Qi suddenly stopped
her.
“Yes.” Ling Lan nodded. To go to the underground arena, one would need someone inside to bring you to the underground arena. Thus, normal people wouldn’t be able to find it. Even if they did find it, they would be chased away using various methods.
“Actually, the tournament has just started two days ago. If you are interested, I can bring you over at night.” Wang Qi carefully glanced at his grandfather who was busy working. He spoke in a soft voice as he was afraid that his grandfather would hear him, as his grandfather had violently objected to him going to the underground casinos.
Ling Lan had nothing on at night so she agreed. It was good to go to the underground arena and pass some time.
Wang Qi smiled excitedly when Ling Lan agreed. He didn’t notice the helpless sigh from his grandfather at the side. He thought that he managed to fool his grandfather but in actual fact, none of his sneaky actions escaped his grandfather’s eyes.
After dinner, Ling Lan put on a black trenchcoat and prepared to leave the house to meet Wang Qi. After she walked a few steps, she saw Liu Aihua squatting below a flickering road lamp. She was drawing something on the ground with a tree branch.
“Hey, what are you doing here so late at night?” Ling Lan raised one of her eyebrows and asked. When she was talking to Wang Qi in the shop just now, she saw Liu Aihua’s hands paused for a moment when they talked about the mecha arena. She was obviously distracted. She must have heard the conversation between Wang Qi and her.
Ling Lan knew that Liu Aihua would do something. It looked like she was planning to wait for her here.
“I heard your conversation between Brother Wang Qi.” Liu Aihua looked up. She then threw away the tree branch and ran over. Her eyes were glistening as she said, “You are going to the underground arena, right? Bring me along, pretty please.” She had touched mechas before but she had never seen an actual mecha battle. She wanted to know how her father operated a mecha in a fight.
Ling Lan looked at Liu Aihua seriously. The intent gaze made Liu Aihua feel nervous.
“Come, Little Aihua, close your eyes. Let’s play a game.” Ling Lan suddenly smiled.
“What game?” Liu Aihua asked curiously.
“It won’t be fun if I tell you now. Close your eyes.” Ling Lan’s smile was like the big bad wolf trying to fool the little red riding hood… I mean, her smile was amiable.
During these few days, Ling Lan had gained the trust of Liu Aihua. Hence, she didn’t probe further and closed her eyes obediently.
Ling Lan lifted her forefinger and placed it on Liu Aihua’s forehead. A small amount of Qi-Jin slowly entered Liu Aihua’s forehead.
Liu Aihua felt something cool on her forehead. She felt refreshed as though she ate some expensive tonic. It was comfortable.
“As expected!” Ling Lan retracted her Qi-Jin. Liu Aihua had awakened her innate talent. Normally, innate talents were awakened at 12 years old, but Liu Aihua was only 10 years old. She was very talented in this area.
‘It isn’t just her hearing. Her other senses are heightened too. Liu Aihua’s innate talent should be related to her spiritual power, not an element.’ Ling Lan analyzed Little Aihua’s situation and came up with her judgment.
She smiled when she saw Liu Aihua still closing her eyes obediently. “It has ended. You can open your eyes now.”
Liu Aihua opened her eyes. She looked excited. “That cool and comfortable thing just now, was it the game you mentioned?”
“Is it fun?” Ling Lan nodded.
“Yes. Can I play it again in the future?” The comfortable feeling was tempting. She felt invigorated. It was as if she wouldn’t feel tired at all.
“You can’t.” Ling Hua suddenly turned serious. “Little Aihua, this game can only be played once. The second time, you’ll not feel comfortable. It will be painful instead. Hence, if anyone wants to play this game with you in the future, you must reject him.” Her action just now was the same as passing her life to other people’s hands. Ling Lan didn’t want Liu Aihua to be hurt just because of this experience.
Little Aihua got a shock when she saw how serious Brother Jiang Hui was. She nodded furiously to express that she understood.
Ling Lan nodded in satisfaction when she saw that Liu Aihua would remember what she said. “Since you’re so obedient, I’ll bring you along.” She was just going there to gain new experiences. It was probably alright to bring a little burden along.
Hence, Ling Lan and Liu Aihua came to find Wang Qi at the gathering location. Wang Qi held his forehead helplessly when he saw the cute little burden holding Ling Lan’s hands. However, there was nothing he could do too. He could only bring her along.
The underground casino was a few kilometers away from the town. Wang Qi brought them to a place first and then led them on a hover bus which windows were covered up with black sheets of metal, so they couldn’t see anything outside. When they got on the bus, there were already many people in it. After a while, the bus was packed with people. After the conductor checked that everyone was behaving properly, he signalled to the driver and the engine was immediately started up.
The bus drove for an hour before stopping.
However, no one was able to fool Ling Lan who had the ultimate radar, Little Four. From the start, Ling Lan knew that the bus was going around in circles. The location they were at was only one to two minutes away from the town.
It was an underground arena that was really underground. An ordinary-looking building was seen on the ground. There was an inconspicuous lift in the building. Once you enter the lift, it would only bring you to one floor. Ling Lan estimated that the lift had traveled for at least a hundred kilometers.
After they stepped out of the lift, they reached the casino. The scene Ling Lan saw was different from what she usually saw on Planet Muyang. The decorations on the walls of the casino were exquisite and magnificent. It was packed filled with beautiful and young bunny girls and excited gamblers who were already immersed in gambling, making it extremely noisy.
