"If I owned shares in Shattered Star City, could I mortgage them to a bank or something and get a loan?"
After one setback after another, Nie Yun finally realized that money was never easy to make, no matter where he was, and proposed a slightly more serious idea.
Since he couldn't get rich overnight, his only option was to dodge his debts... no, wait, to borrow money.
"A loan? That would work. Shares in Shattered Star City are so sought-after that even the shares awarded for the lowest qualifying ranking could secure a loan of at least thirty million Shattered Star points. But... the interest would be rather high," Golden Fang said after some consideration.
High interest? Isn't that just loan-sharking?
It made sense. A lending institution run by pirates would hardly offer anything but usurious loans. Still, as long as he didn't have to put up nude photos as collateral, Nie Yun could basically accept it.
"That's the plan! Now, take me to the arena!" Nie Yun made his decision.
Shattered Star City, the War God Arena!
"Roar! Muscle Ripper, kill him! Tear him apart!"
"Titan, flatten him!"
"..."
When Nie Yun and Golden Fang entered the War God Arena, they were greeted by a deafening tide of hoarse shouts filled with savagery and violence.
It was an enormous complex formed by two concentric rings, with two towering circular walls dividing the arena into inner and outer sections.
The outer ring was partitioned into small arenas featuring all sorts of combat, from physical bouts with cold weapons to thrilling armed battles amid roaring gunfire.
The entire inner ring, meanwhile, was devoted to mecha combat. The thunder of clashing steel could be heard from far away.
"Whoa! This place really is lively." Nie Yun looked around with interest.
