After coming out of the dark alley, Jiang Kai looked around for a while, as if he was looking for someone.
Not long after, a tall figure walked out of the darkness.
Yuan Zhu has been waiting for him here.
Even if there were differences of opinion between the two, Jiang Kai knew that the guy would never leave him alone.
"Did you buy the materials?" Yuan Zhu saw Jiang Kai's expression, which was probably a good thing.
Jiang Kai pulled Yuan Zhu and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
It was some distance away from the dark alley, and only then did Jiang Kai tell Yuan Zhu about the purchase of materials.
"There are really incomplete materials!" Yuan Zhu's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face.
Jiang Kai smiled and said, "Although I checked before that among the first batch of players who entered the vocation, a group of people live in the West District, but I didn't expect that I could actually buy it."
"However, even if there are incomplete materials, I don't know what the final result will be." Yuan Zhu said worriedly.
Jiang Kai sighed softly. Now that things have happened, the more he thinks about it, the more unsure he feels.
"No matter how many things there are, since I have decided to make a bet, I have to make a thorough bet. I have no other choice."
"By the way, if you want to sell qualification certificates, you have to get up early tomorrow." Jiang Kai did not forget to tell Yuan Zhu.
Yuan Zhu lowered his head and said, "Jiang Kai, are you angry with me? We agreed to go to "Tiantia" together to buy incomplete materials, but in the end..."
Jiang Kai laughed and slapped Yuan Zhu on the back hard, "Am I that stingy? Besides, I just learned that incomplete materials are almost extinct now, and I don't know if I can find two copies."
Hearing what Jiang Kai said, Yuan Zhu felt really better.
Unknowingly, the two of them arrived at the shanty towns of the old city, and they had to separate and go home.
……………………
Yuan Zhu walked to his house and was about to go home when he suddenly noticed a dark shadow moving beside the firewood pile in front of his house.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Zhu was so frightened that his huge body shrank into a ball instantly.
"It can't be a wild beast..." Yuan Zhu said tremblingly, widening his eyes and watching secretly.
After the era of beast gods began, the meaning of the word beast has become equated with destruction and death.
However, Jiangzhong City has a steel wall and is guarded by a large number of troops, so there should be no wild beasts sneaking in.
If he had gone to another place, Yuan Zhu would have disappeared long ago without even trying to determine what the black shadow was, but this was his home, and his mother was still at home!
Thinking of his mother's safety, Yuan Zhu took courage and moved over step by step.
It looked like a human figure!
"Yes, it's you..." The man rolled his eyes. After seeing Yuan Zhu, he recognized him first and spoke with difficulty.
Yuan Zhu was startled when he heard the man speak.
But after the man finished speaking, there was no movement.
After waiting for a long time, Yuan Zhu mustered up his courage again and approached cautiously.
Through the moonlight, Yuan Zhu finally saw the man's face clearly.
"Well? Isn't this the man who was being chased in the dark alley?"
"Oh my god, he must be dead!"
……………………
Jiang Kai's residence is a dilapidated bungalow with an area of more than ten square meters, but he has to squeeze out his eldest brother Jiang Lan, his second oldest brother Jiang Kai, and his third sister Jiang Ying. It used to be okay when Jiang Ying was young, but now Jiang Ying has grown up.
When she grew up, Jiang Lan found a torn sheet to separate the room.
But with such a separation, the already crowded room became even more narrow and crowded.
It is now past eleven o'clock in the evening, and the room is still lit with candles.
The eldest brother Jiang Lan has to work three jobs. He is still working at this time. It seems that Yingzi is not asleep yet.
Jiang Kai pushed the door open and found a girl with a ponytail in front of the wooden table next to the window, reviewing her lessons by the light of a candle.
"Yingzi, haven't you slept yet?" Jiang Kai asked softly.
As soon as she heard the movement behind her, Jiang Ying turned around and immediately frowned when she saw Jiang Kai, "Brother, why did you come back so late!"
Jiang Kai grinned and knocked on Jiang Ying's forehead, "What are you doing? I have to report to you when I go on a date. But you are still up so late!"
Jiang Ying opened Jiang Kai's hand, frowned, and said seriously, "A date? A date with Yuan Zhu?"
Jiang Kai was furious for a moment and rolled his eyes at his sister, "I'm dating Zhu Zhu? You can't imagine that."
Jiang Ying frowned and asked, "You have a newbie trial tomorrow afternoon. You come back so late, why don't you get a good rest!"
"It starts in the afternoon, there's still time." Jiang Kai said, dragging his coat and throwing it on his bed.
Jiang Ying sighed, as if she hated iron and said, "Hey, the emperor is really not in a hurry, but the eunuch is!"
With that said, she took out a card from the drawer and handed it to Jiang Kai, "Here, this is what my eldest brother left for you before going to work. He said that passing the test is too difficult for ordinary people."
"It's a pity that novices can't wear equipment in the trial. The only thing they can wear is a data watch. We can't buy high-end ones, so we can only buy this simple model for novices."
Jiang Kai's eyes widened. What was in Yingzi's hand was a data card. On it was a simple electronic watch with the words "Fearless Data Watch" and two small words "Golden Compass" written at the bottom of the card.
There is a series of barcodes below.
This is a data watch developed by the "Golden Compass" company. Although in reality, it is just a card. When the player enters the login door, the card will be activated and materialized, bound to the character's wrist, and become a data watch.
.
"Fearless One, this costs three to four thousand alliance coins!" Jiang Kai said excitedly, "Where did you get so much money?"
Jiang Ying said with some embarrassment, "It's not so expensive. It's just for an event. It only costs 2,999. I have some savings at home, and my eldest brother borrowed some from my colleagues... I worked as a tutor for a while, and I also saved some by recycling resources at the recycling bin."
.”
When Jiang Kai heard this, he immediately jumped up in anger, "How much money can you make from resource recycling?! Whose family do you go to as a tutor? Is it Huang Hao's family?"
Seeing her brother getting angry, Jiang Ying quickly lowered her head and said hesitantly, "No, no..."
As soon as he saw his sister's reaction, Jiang Kai knew that this girl was lying.
"Don't you know that Huang Hao's father is not a thing? He did something to you last time. If I hadn't gone to pick you up and found out, he could have done even more outrageous things, but you still went!"
Jiang Ying lowered her head and whispered, "Brother, please don't be angry..."
"Can I not be angry? This kind of person has evil intentions at all, and you still go ahead even though you know it!"
"Brother, Huang Hao's father went on a business trip to Hedong City. Huang Hao also said that as long as I give him extra lessons, he will forget about your matter, so I agreed to give him extra lessons."
Jiang Kai said angrily, "Who wants to let things go with him? I'm still afraid of him! Those Huang family members are all scum. You don't really think he is easy to learn, do you?"
Jiang Ying said aggrievedly, "Brother, I said I had to make up lessons at school, and I only agreed after he agreed... I also know the success rate of the novice trial. Even if you are excellent in all aspects, the gap in hardware is too big."
Now that you are old, my family has no money to buy you job-changing materials, I just want to help you... After buying a data watch, I will definitely not care about them anymore."
Jiang Ying has been a top student since she was a child. How could she be so stupid that she can't see who Huang Hao is? This girl is doing it all for herself...
Everyone who knew that he was going to participate in the newbie trial told him that the chance of success was extremely slim.
However, Jiang Lan and Jiang Ying never opposed Jiang Kai's decision, they just supported him with everything they had.
Sighing softly, Jiang Kai touched his sister's head distressedly, "Okay, it's getting late, go to bed quickly."
After washing, Yingzi also went to sleep.
While Yingzi fell asleep, Jiang Kai stood in front of the bunk bed.
The eldest brother is small, but since he comes back very late every day, he always sleeps on the lower bunk in order not to wake Jiang Kai up.
Jiang Kai sat beside his eldest brother's bed and carefully laid out the quilt.
After thinking for a while, he opened his eldest brother's mattress and took out a stack of medical records from underneath.
He remembered four months ago, when he first discovered this stack of medical records. He secretly followed his elder brother and heard the doctor's ultimatum to him.
Due to kidney failure, within half a year, Jiang Lan would either need a kidney transplant or an artificial organ.
The three brothers and sisters are not related by blood, so kidney transplantation is impossible, and the price of replacing artificial organs is as high as 3 million alliance coins, and the upfront cost alone is as high as 800,000!
This news was like a bolt from the blue, making Jiang Kai feel that the sky was about to collapse.
Four months have passed now, and the eldest brother only has two months left!
There is no change in the medical record. It seems that the eldest brother has not gone for a review.
Under this stack of medical records, Jiang Kai found that there was another letter.
He opened the envelope carefully.
This letter was clearly a suicide note left by Jiang Lan to Jiang Kai and Jiang Ying.
[When you read this letter, I should be gone.]
[I'm sorry that I never told you this. Everyone is mortal. You two don't have to feel sorry for me, just live well.]
[Time flies so fast. I have been busy working these years. In the blink of an eye, I realize that you two little brats have grown up. 】
[Kai, you still remember when I pulled you out from the ruins of Jiangnan City, you were just a baby wearing crotchless pants, and in the blink of an eye you were half a head taller than me.]
[I was seven years old that year. I had just fled to Jiangnan City, and there was a beast wave there. The once glorious city was destroyed. Your parents used their bodies to block the collapsed beams. I can't forget that scene to this day. 】
[I once felt that living in such a world was too tiring, too difficult, and too lonely. I had lost my faith and motivation. When I saw your parents protecting you with their lives, at that moment, I suddenly found the motivation to live.
.]
[In the Age of Beast Gods, human beings are struggling to survive, but as long as there is hope, even death becomes less scary! Even if people die, they must hold on to this hope. 】
[Two years later, we found Ying in Jiangdong City. I was hesitant to bring Ying with me at that time. After all, I was already starved of food with you, and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to feed you if I brought an infant with me.
】
[Just as we were about to leave, Ying stretched out her little hand, wiped off the stains on my face, and giggled at us. Seeing her look, I understood one thing.]
[Ying, is destined to become a member of our family!]
…………
When he put down the letter, Jiang Kai's eyes were blurred by tears. He carefully put the letter back into the envelope and put the medical records on the mattress sandwich.
Their house is so small that they can't even hide anything...
"Brother, why are you not sleeping yet?" His sister asked from the other side of the bed sheet. Jiang Kai hurriedly turned over to the upper bunk and calmed down his emotions, "Go to sleep, you are so annoying... Stay away from Huang Hao from now on."
!”
"I know! You're the one who's annoying!"
Lying on the bed, Jiang Kai's eyes widened.
He doesn't plan to tell Yingzi about his elder brother, and he doesn't plan to tell his elder brother about Yingzi either.
Now he just made up his mind secretly in his heart. As long as there is a chance, he will risk his life to change the fate of his family!
"I must pass the newbie trial!" Under the quilt, Jiang Kai clenched his fists tightly!
Tomorrow, tomorrow is the time to reveal the answer!
