Playing a Game

For some reason, Qin Feng felt a faint chill crawl up his spine as he watched Sisi approach.

"Xiao Feng, since you're already a student of Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy, we won't force you to join Spirit Hall. But you have to come play with Sister Sisi anytime in the future, okay? Take this token first. With it, you can freely enter and leave any Spirit Hall branch below the main hall."

Like she was coaxing a child, Sisi placed a token in Qin Feng's hand.

"Mhm, thank you, Sister Sisi."

Qin Feng nodded obediently and accepted the token.

Then he bounced downstairs in a carefree manner.

"Why did you give your own token to that child?!"

After Qin Feng left, Su Yuntao questioned Sisi.

"What do you know? That child's future potential is definitely not low. Since we can still get close to him now, there's nothing wrong with building a good relationship with him in advance."

Sisi shot Su Yuntao an irritated look and spoke coldly.

"Heh, women really do think ahead."

Su Yuntao sneered, then went downstairs as though sulking.

"Don't blame this old man for talking too much, Sisi. Su Yuntao may not be suitable for you. His heart is too narrow. If you truly end up together, you'll face many hardships."

Soul Grand Master Mashinuo spoke after watching Su Yuntao head downstairs.

No matter how one looked at it, Su Yuntao was far inferior to Sisi.

"Thank you for the reminder, Soul Grand Master Mashinuo."

Sisi thanked Mashinuo with an unusual smile, then went downstairs as well.

Only Mashinuo remained behind, sighing.

Out on the street, Qin Feng wandered aimlessly.

He was now a Spirit Master, and he had also received a gold coin from Spirit Hall. He could be considered a minor rich kid.

After all, Notting City was only a remote little city. Its economy and everything else were underdeveloped. Normally, one gold coin could support an entire family for a year, so he truly counted as a minor rich kid now.

Qin Feng strolled around the market in high spirits, only planning to head back once the sun had set.

There was no point in going back too early.

Xiao Wu would definitely want to challenge him to something.

He couldn't be as carefree with Xiao Wu as he had been when beating up Boss Xiao.

After all, Xiao Wu was his younger brother's wife. Had anyone ever seen an older brother beat up his younger brother's wife?

"Notting City is so boring too."

Qin Feng spoke helplessly.

After wandering around all day, he was already exhausted in both body and mind.

"Come on over, take a look! A grand giveaway for strongmen!"

At that moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"What? Old Si is here again? Come on, come on! This time, I'm definitely taking out that gold!"

"You? Hmph, see this? My Qilin Arm, honed by twenty years of being single, is right here. The gold is mine!!"

In front of Qin Feng, two young men became extremely excited upon hearing the voice.

"Taking gold? What the hell is that?"

A moment ago, the corner behind him had been empty, but Qin Feng was surprised to discover that it was now packed with people.

Everyone was curious, especially someone like Qin Feng, who had been bored all day. Naturally, he would not miss it.

Taking advantage of his small body, he easily squeezed into the innermost circle.

Inside stood a middle-aged man with a cloth cap wrapped around his head. His face was narrow and covered in pockmarks.

There was a table before him. On it sat a glass box containing a large gold bar.

At the front of the box was an opening just large enough to fit a fist through.

"Here we go, here we go! Old Si is giving everyone benefits again! Give it a try, take a gamble, and I guarantee the gold in your pockets will keep growing!"

The man called out repeatedly.

For a while, more and more people came over to watch.

"Today, I see many unfamiliar faces, so Old Si will explain the rules again."

The man smiled like a truly unscrupulous merchant, his expression full of cunning.

Like everyone else, Qin Feng quietly listened to the man.

After hearing the explanation, Qin Feng smiled disdainfully.

He had not expected to find the same kind of scam here as on Earth.

Basically, there was a gold bar in a glass box with a small opening. Whoever could take out the gold bar would get to keep it.

Of course, not just anyone could try. Each attempt cost one copper coin.

Although one copper coin was equivalent to nearly half a month's wages for an ordinary person, many people still stared with burning eyes, rubbing their hands together and eager to give it a try.

Many harbored a lucky hope that they could take out this gold bar, conservatively worth a thousand gold coins. Then they would never have to work again for the rest of their lives.

"Alright, seeing everyone's enthusiasm, we'll officially begin! Who will seize the opportunity and become the true treasure-snatching strongman!?"

Seeing more and more people gather around, the man shouted loudly.

Soon after his voice fell, many people immediately paid and rolled up their sleeves, preparing to take out the gold bar.

But after several consecutive attempts, not one person managed to get it out.

Later, another group tried, but just like before, most of those who failed left looking utterly dejected.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed, and most of the people around had become spectators.

"Looks like no strongman will appear this week. I thought there might be another freak like last week who'd make me lose my capital."

The man grinned, looking every bit like a swindling merchant.

The basin he had brought to collect money was nearly full now. Qin Feng roughly counted close to three hundred people.

It seemed this kind of scam could earn a fortune in a single round.

The person who had successfully taken out the gold bar last time was probably a plant, right? These people actually believed it. They really deserved to pay an intelligence tax.

"The sun has completely set. Is anyone else coming? Whoever can take out this gold bar gets to keep it. If you don't want the gold bar, there are three hundred gold coins here instead. You can choose the coins too. There are only ten minutes left! If no one comes, Old Si is leaving!"

Seeing that no one else intended to try, the man known as Old Si shouted again.

"Uncle, can I give it a try?"

Qin Feng asked the pockmarked man softly.

"Go away, go away. Kid, don't come here and make trouble for no reason."

The man glanced at Qin Feng from the corner of his eye, then scolded him.

"Little brat, this costs one copper coin per try. Can a tiny kid like you even afford to play?"

The others also looked amused. What was a child doing joining in the fun?

He would be better off going home to play in the mud.

"I have money."

Qin Feng looked at everyone with his large round eyes, only to be met with another burst of laughter.

It was a new day. Everyone, please vote.
