Chapter 161
Chapter 161 The Girl Who Sells Her Body to Pay Off Debt
“Hmm… familiar ceiling.”
After more than ten minutes, Xier gradually woke up from her coma.
Feeling the sweet taste she had never experienced before, she blinked and wondered if she had arrived in heaven.
At this moment, a strange humming sound came from beside her. She looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw a golden pig.
Not only that, the golden pig looked at her with unusual concern. She was actually cared about by a pig… Why did she have such a strange dream?
At the moment when this question was born, the memory before the coma suddenly flooded into her mind.
If I remember correctly, I seemed to have fainted from hunger in front of the enemy who was suspected to be in the upper area…
After realizing this, Xier rolled over and got up, holding the sickle tightly, and looked at the familiar figures in front of her with a vigilant face.
“Don’t be in a hurry, come one by one, everyone can get a free portion of food and water, don’t cut in line, don’t crowd!”
Topa, wearing the company’s high-end uniform, handed out food skillfully and announced the rules with a loudspeaker.
Each bag she handed out contained a normal person’s monthly supply of food and a week’s supply of water.
There was no doubt that she was distributing food to everyone for free.
Seeing this scene, Xier blinked, a little confused.
At this time, Su Mo, who was standing next to her, glanced at her.
“Awake?”
Hearing him say this, Xier shook her head and asked in disbelief.
“Just now…you saved me?”
She thought she would be taken back to the Earth Fire Organization by someone she knew!
“It’s just basic humanitarian aid, nothing.”
Su Mo nodded slightly, not taking it seriously.
Seeing his attitude, Xi’er was a little dumbfounded, with mixed emotions.
She didn’t expect that one day she would be rescued by the guys from the upper district, even though they almost had a conflict before.
Xi’er felt conflicted because of her dissatisfaction with the upper district and her grateful character. After thinking for two seconds, she raised her head and looked at Su Mo firmly.
“Thank you very much for your help, but I don’t want to accept the mercy of the guys in the upper district. So, how much is the food you gave me worth? I will return it to you double, along with the favor of saving me!”
The strong-willed girl was unwilling to accept charity, especially from the”bad guys”.
She was not like those ungrateful upper-class people who didn’t take the other party’s efforts to heart at all.
In fact, if Su Mo ignored her, she would not be in trouble. As a member of the Earth Fire Organization, she often had companions patrolling around, and there were many trustworthy people she knew among the miners.
However, since she wanted to repay the favor, she naturally had to go all out and have a clear conscience.
Hearing Xier’s statement, Topa on the side looked at her slightly strangely, and Su Mo in front of him shook his head calmly and said
“No, it’s not something valuable.”
“No! Repaying a favor is my life principle!”
Xi’er also has her own persistence.
Seeing the girl so stubborn, Su Mo was too lazy to continue pulling her.
“I just fed you the fruit of the tree of life, which is easier to digest and has some benefits for your body.”
“……I haven’t heard of it. But, is it just a fruit?”
Xi’er shook her head, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately touched her empty wallet.
“I will do my best to repay you for your kindness. I will pay you back for the food now. How much is it in total?”
She knew that she didn’t have much money, and she also knew that such delicious fruit must be worth a lot of money, but in her poor worldview, only five Winter City Shields were enough for a middle-aged miner to have a good meal.
In this case, no matter how expensive a fruit is, it shouldn’t be more than five Winter City Shields, right?
Double repayment is only ten Winter City Shields.
It just so happened that she had the habit of over-saving. She would rather starve than save money for backup, so she still had seven Winter City Shields.
From this point of view, she only needed to empty her own savings and borrow some from the leader to pay off the other party’s food debt.
As for the friendship of the other party’s helping hand, it was not difficult to pay it back. At most, she would protect them personally for a month. She was better at such trivial matters as risking her life than making money.
Just as Xier was confidently arranging seven coins, she suddenly noticed that Topa’s gaze seemed unusually subtle.
“Miss Xier, I think you should accept the kindness of Lord Su Mo!”
Topa said carefully.
“Otherwise, it will be a great burden for you.”
There is no need to deliberately ask the girl’s name. When she fainted, several people wanted to save her regardless of their own safety. It seems that the name Xier still has some prestige here. Topa naturally sympathizes with such a girl and does not want her to step into the abyss.
Unfortunately, Xier was born strong.
“Burden? Little——”
Stop looking down on people, she wanted to say that. After all, she was not stupid and knew that the other party meant that she could not pay the bill.
But Topa’s eyes were very sincere. No matter what she thought, she was really helping these poor people, which made Xier feel uncomfortable to be too tough with her.
So after a pause, she continued to speak.
“How much money? Don’t worry, even if I have to sell everything I have and ask Hook to borrow, I will definitely pay you back!”
Seeing his insistence, Topar sighed and shook his head.
“Well, I’ll tell you one thing, don’t be scared”
“Don’t worry, I’m a member of the Earth Fire, I’m not that fragile, I won’t be scared so easily.”
Xi’er straightened her slender chest, but her little hands couldn’t help but clenched secretly.
“Although we don’t know the origin of the fruit of the tree of life provided by Lord Su Mo, if we judge its value by its effect, it is worth about 500 million credit points in terms of our Interstellar Peace Company credit points.”
Topar’s words made Xi’er a little confused.
How much?
What is the unit of credit points?
Seeing that she was a little confused, Topar explained:
“If converted into your Winter City Shield, it would be worth about 500——”
“Five hundred Winter City shields?!”
Before Topar could finish, Xier’s eyes widened, and her purple pupils instantly turned bright red.
“What kind of fruit is so expensive? Even the boss doesn’t have so much money, let alone Hook!”
In the underground area where supplies are scarce, this is a huge sum of money. Even the probe of the high-precision instrument that can detect mineral veins generally costs only a few hundred Winter City shields.
After being shocked, she did not doubt that Topar was quoting a random price. She was not completely unaware of the extravagance of the upper area.
Although five hundred Winter City shields sounded outrageous, it was not outrageous and it was not the upper area.
So, after a slight sigh, she covered her forehead with her small hand.
“Well, 500 Winter City shields, I can work another job and save for two more years, I should be able to make it.”
In the lower class where food expenses account for the majority of expenditure, saving money is extremely difficult.
Looking at the girl’s sad face, Topa’s eyes became more sympathetic.
“No, I didn’t say 500, I said 5 million Winterfell shields.”
“Huh?”
Xi’er was stunned on the spot, she couldn’t believe her ears at all
“How many did you say?”
“Five million, ten thousand times five hundred.”
Topa repeated patiently.
After confirming the amount Topa said several times, even though she had never been to school, she knew that this was a price she could never afford.
Five million Winter City shields, she would have to save and live frugally for 20,000 years to get that much.
“How come it’s so high? Is the peel made of gold, or is the flesh made of gold?”
Xi’er suspected that she had been scammed.
Even if she was in the upper class, it was impossible for her to be so rich!
“Five million, I’m not worth that price even if you buy me!”
No one would be able to remain calm after waking up and finding themselves inexplicably burdened with a huge debt. Xi’er was even more furious, and her expression became completely alert.
Seeing her like this, Topa spread his hands.
“So Lord Su Mo told you before that you didn’t have to pay it back, but you insisted on doing so.”
“As for the value of the fruit of the tree of life, you have no doubt about it. Ordinary gold cannot compare to it.”
“Feel it carefully, and you should be able to find that the hidden injuries accumulated in your body in the past, as well as the physical fatigue caused by hunger and staying up late, have now been completely eliminated.
Moreover, your vitality and strength should have been greatly improved.
According to Lord Su Mo, the fruit of the Tree of Life can help humans get closer to the legendary gods, and its preciousness is self-evident.
After taking the fruit of the Tree of Life, you no longer need to worry about ordinary world-breaking monsters.
”
Hearing Topa’s introduction, Xier was slightly stunned, and then she realized the changes in her body.
Indeed, if her body was exhausted before, relying purely on the energy of destiny, now she is very energetic, her strength and explosive power have increased several times, and the opponents who needed to be entangled before are no longer her opponents.
It turns out that the sweet and refreshing fruit is not only delicious, but also has so many magical effects.
If this is the case, it is understandable that the sky-high price of five million.
Logically speaking, she should be secretly happy to have taken such a big bargain.
However——
“I’m just unconscious, why do you feed me such precious fruit? Even if you sell me, I’m not worth the price!”
……
Xier squatted on the ground with her head in her hands, looking very shaken.
She still intended to repay the favor, but it seemed that she had completely repaid it.
Hearing her question, Topa also looked at Su Mo curiously, wondering why Su Mo would use such a precious fruit to save an ordinary girl.
Facing the doubts of the two, Su Mo spoke calmly.
“This is already the worst fruit of the Tree of Life I have ever had.”
This is true. If it was a slightly better fruit of the Tree of Life, Xier would have immediately transformed into an apostle and become Su Mo’s angel follower.
Now, Xier’s result has already been taken into consideration.
“……”
Hearing this, Xier and Topa were speechless.
The worst fruit is 500 million credit points… Damn rich people!
Just when Xier was worrying about how to pay back such a precious thing,
Su Mo spoke up.
“If you insist on repaying me, pay with your body!”
“？”
“？”
As soon as these words came out, the two girls looked at Su Mo in shock.
Xier’s face flushed with shame and anger. As a conservative girl, if she didn’t owe too much money, she would have chopped him down with a sickle.
Sure enough, he is a bad guy from the upper class. He actually has such a disgusting mind!
Topa was a little hesitant in shame. If Su Mo really has a weakness for women, then maybe he can find a breakthrough.
If so, should he do it himself or not?
Just as the two were gradually making up their minds, Su Mo added:
“What are you still standing there for? Topa is busy, Xier, go and help.”
After hearing this, the two girls finally realized what was going on.
Xier blinked and confirmed.
“You want me to help distribute food?”
“That’s right.”
Su Mo nodded.
“The body is the capital of labor. You should not mind exchanging labor for rewards, right?”
“Of course I don’t mind!”
Xier nodded immediately, and then bowed to Su Mo very embarrassedly.
“”I’m sorry, I misunderstood you.”
After coming to her senses, she finally realized that Su Mo was not a bad person.
Even if she owed a debt that she couldn’t pay off, the other party’s attitude had always been that she didn’t need to pay it back, so this matter was entirely her own fault and had nothing to do with Su Mo, a good man.
“It’s nothing.”
Su Mo naturally wouldn’t care.
“Compared to this little thing, there seems to be a misunderstanding between us that has not been resolved.……”
“In fact, we are not the People’s Congress of the upper district.”
