Civilization Paradise

Chapter 125 So Tragic (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader 20220427161247290)

Long Ming glanced around and saw that the internet cafe still had some traditional computers for people to use.

It has to be said that although this internet cafe's decor is terrible, business is still pretty good.

Almost every machine had someone playing it.

Long Ming glanced at their computer screens, which displayed mostly live streams and forums from Civilization Paradise.

"Little Fatty".

Just then, a shout came.

Upon hearing this, Long Ming turned his head to look.

"coming."

Little Fatty, holding a pack of cigarettes, ran to machine number 48 with a big smile and handed the cigarettes to a middle-aged man.

After he finished delivering the cigarettes, he saw a bucket of leftover instant noodles on the table and asked with a smile.

"Brother, are you still going to eat this cup of noodles?"

"I'm not eating it, take it and throw it away."

"Ok."

Little Fatty picked up his instant noodles and left, then started eating them on the way.

When Long Ming saw this, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. How did this guy end up in such a miserable state?
He then walked up to the chubby boy and blocked his way.

Little Fatty was also taken aback, stopped and looked up. When he saw Long Ming, he was stunned.

How did you get here?

"Hey Fatty, aren't you doing really well?"

Long Ming asked calmly.

"this."

Little Fatty was quite embarrassed for a moment.

Long Ming reached out and took the instant noodles from Xiao Pang's hand, then threw them into the nearby trash can.

"Hey, I haven't finished eating yet."

"Come on, I'll treat you to a meal."

"Really."

Little Fatty's eyes lit up immediately.

"Of course it's true, are you leaving or not?"

Long Ming didn't bother with any more words.

"Wait for me for 10 minutes, my shift is about to change."

The chubby boy replied with a pleading expression.

"Oh~ okay."

Long Ming simply found a stool and patiently sat down to wait.

A moment later, Long Ming led Xiao Pang into a casserole restaurant on the street.

"Two servings of rice noodles in a clay pot, with extra meat."

Long Ming shouted at the boss.

"Ok."

The boss immediately agreed.

At this moment, Little Fatty looked at Long Ming somewhat embarrassed.

"Hey, did you need something from me?"

"Let's eat first, we'll talk later."

Long Ming could tell that Xiao Pang seemed very hungry, as his face had lost a lot of fat.

"it is good."

The chubby boy replied with a smile.

Soon the owner brought out two servings of rice noodles in a clay pot.

"I'll start eating."

Little Fatty immediately picked up his chopsticks and ate eagerly while blowing on them.

Seeing his expression, Long Ming frowned and asked.

"How did you end up like this? Didn't I transfer 2000 yuan to you?"

"Oh, don't even mention it! You have no idea how unlucky I've been."

"Tell me?"

"After you gave me the money, I was going to go and make a big splash, but then my wallet and phone were stolen. It took me a lot of effort to get my documents replaced and buy a second-hand phone. When I finally logged back in, I was completely behind. No matter what dungeon I was playing, I was constantly being chased and killed, like a stray dog ​​on the street, anyone could kick me!"

"and then?"

"Then I thought I'd join an organization, but the guilds didn't want me, the merchant groups didn't want me, and those team groups all asked for a deposit right away. Where would I get that much money?"

Little Fatty said, full of bitterness.

At this moment, Long Ming suddenly noticed that Xiao Pang's left eye was bruised and asked.

"What happened to your eyes?" "Don't even mention it. A few days ago, I ran into Zheng Lei on the street. I saw that he was driving a car, dressed smartly, with a girl by his side, living a super comfortable life. He didn't look like someone who was bankrupt at all! It was exactly as you described. I was so angry that I went up to confront him, and he beat me up and even threatened to make me pay. Later, I ran into him in the game too. This guy was chasing me and trying to kill me. He's also been badmouthing me and ruining my reputation in the old merchant group. Now I'm like a rat in the street, everyone hates me."

Little Fatty recounted his story with tears streaming down his face.

"unacceptable."

Long Ming's expression also turned cold. This was clearly because he was afraid that Little Fatty would retaliate and wanted to kill him completely.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Little Fatty was extremely frustrated; after so many days, finally someone listened to his complaints.

"Alright, I came to see you because I have something to say. Do you want to come with me and help me pack up my things?"

Without wasting any words, Long Ming spoke directly to Little Fatty.

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Little Fatty nodded quickly in agreement.

"I haven't even talked about the compensation yet."

"I'll accept any treatment, how could I not trust you, Brother Long?"

"The base salary is 3000 mountain coins, and bonuses are separate. Of course, I won't treat you unfairly."

Long Ming calmly said to Little Fatty.

"no problem."

Little Fatty immediately nodded in agreement.

Long Ming picked up his phone and transferred 5000 mountain coins to Xiao Pang, then spoke.

"Take the flowers first."

Little Fatty glanced at the payment confirmation and said, moved.

"Brother Long, you are my second parents. I will follow you from now on."

"Alright, stop saying those disgusting things. I'm going back to the game. See you in Star City later. My ID is Long Ming."

Long Ming gave simple instructions.

"No problem, are you going to eat this bowl or not?"

Little Fatty nodded, his eyes fixed on Long Ming's clay pot rice noodles.

"You eat, I'm leaving now."

Long Ming got up, paid the bill, and then left.

An hour later.

Long Ming returned to the rented room, went back to his bedroom, picked up his helmet, and put it on.

Swish!
Long Ming appeared in the City of Stars.

At this moment, a notification popped up on the bracelet.

"Player Little Fatty has added you as a friend. Do you want to accept?"

After becoming friends with Xiaopang, Longming sent him the coordinates and waited quietly.

Not long after, he saw the chubby boy running over excitedly.

"I am coming."

Little Fatty greeted Long Ming with a big smile.

Long Ming nodded, then spoke to Little Fatty.

"Now I'll tell you what you need to do."

"No problem, just tell me, and I'll definitely do a great job."

Little Fatty patted his chest and assured everyone that while he wasn't good at fighting, collecting things was a piece of cake for him.

"You only need to do one thing: keep an eye on the drug categories in the store and buy me fast-acting recovery potions under 1. Also, be careful when you buy them; don't make any big moves, and don't buy the lowest-priced ones immediately, in case the market fluctuates and prices rise."

Long Ming explained everything to Xiao Pang in great detail.

"That's it? Are you out of your mind? Accepting drugs?"

Little Fatty stared blankly at Long Ming.

"What is the problem?"

"Brother, you have to understand that medicine is incredibly expensive! One fast-acting healing potion costs almost the same as a large blue mana potion. Who would be willing to use it? Only rich guys would use it. It's definitely a case of supply exceeding demand. As the game goes on, this stuff will become less and less valuable."

"Will you accept it or not?"

Long Ming looked at Little Fatty with a headache and asked.

"Yes, I'll do whatever the boss tells me to do, even if the boss is an idiot."

Little Fatty replied directly.

"roll."

Long Ming cursed in annoyance.

"hey-hey."

Little Fatty smiled.
