CH 2.2

“Heh heh, little brother you have good luck!”

Jiao Gui looked at Bai Jing with a stiff smile. His face no longer had the warm expression it had before, instead it looked rather grim. This time the result was like a resounding slap in the face, which embarrassed him greatly.

D*n it, he lost to a newcomer, what kind of sht luck did this teenager have!

Bai Jing ignored him and closed his eyes somewhat uncomfortably, the throbbing pain in his stomach making his fists clench and his fingertips turn white.

If he understood correctly, the 9.5 odds meant that he had earned 9,500 star coins, and after removing the 1,000 star coins this man had given him, there were still 8,500 star coins left, which should be enough to buy a light brain and food.

But he didn’t have the light-brain account that the host mentioned and didn’t know how to create one. He hoped it would be quick.

“Uhh….”

Bai Jing bit his lip and grunted, cold sweat dotting his forehead, his stomach cramped due to excessive hunger, as if a knife was twisting and turning inside. The pain was unbearable.

At this moment, a woman with a work badge came towards him anxiously: “I am Wang Xin, a staff member of Gu’s gambling house, number 001635, Bai Jing is your name, right? ”

“…… En. ”

“Have a look, is the betting slip yours?”

Wang Xin pulled out her light brain, and an electronic betting slip of one thousand star coins was displayed in front of him out of thin air and signed at the bottom right corner was Bai Jing’s name, with the very star coins that Jiao Gui had lent him.

“Yes.” Bai Jing’s voice was weak to the point of imperceptibility. He covered his cramping stomach and his eyes went black for a moment, barely able to see the screen in front of him.

Wang Xin breathed a long sigh of relief. She had noticed that all the star coins had been issued to the corresponding accounts, only this Bai Jing’s couldn’t be found.

Gu Group would never allow a settlement to go wrong, not even a single star coin so the supervisor had quickly pulled up surveillance and had several robots intensify their search before finally finding the man with no account.

“Are you all right?” Looking at his ghastly white face, Wang Xin asked worriedly.

“I need…. food….”

“There’s food, there’s food ”

When Wang Xin heard this, she immediately took out two primary nutrient solutions from the small spatial button; they, the staff, were specialized in handling disputes and emergencies so they had everything ready.

“Thanks.” Bai Jing grabbed the two doses of nutrient solution in a near snatch, broke the mouthpiece of the tube and poured them together into his mouth.

When the tasteless liquid flowed into his body, it gradually relieved the cramping sensation in his stomach. Bai Jing felt alive, and although he was only five percent full, he was finally free from hunger.

“How’s that, isn’t that filling?”

Wang Xin looked at his slowly recovering face and said a little happily, “One primary nutrient solution is enough to satiate your stomach and two should hold you up a little, but don’t drink so much at once next time. ”

“Hmm.” Bai Jing lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes flicking like little fans.

He didn’t explain the fact that he was still only five percent full after taking two doses of the primary nutrient solution; his body might be slightly different from the natives of this world so it must not be exposed.

“Star coins are usually credited to a light brain account, do you need to buy a light brain?”

Looking at his plain and somewhat faded clothes, a bit of sympathy appeared in Wang Xin’s eyes. This person should be from the slums, which might why he didn’t have star coins to buy a light brain before.

“I need it.” Bai Jing understood that in this high-tech world of the future, it was literally impossible to get around without a light brain.

“Follow me.” Wang Xin led him into the guest room on the ground floor, then took out a pure white wristband, “This is an ordinary light brain, priced at three thousand star coins. ”

There was actually a deluxe version available for 10,000 star coins, but she didn’t take it out, lest she hurt this teenager’s pride.

“It’s good.” Hearing Bai Jing’s agreement, Wang Xin quickly tapped a few times on the light brain, activated it and handed it to him.

After he took the light brain, a beam of white light emitted from it and scanned him thoroughly like an X-ray and Bai Jing, completely unprepared had no time to dodge.

Seeing the terrible expression on Bai Jing’s face, Wang Xin smiled and explained: “Don’t worry, this is the light brain automatically analyzing your rank data. From now on the light brain will be bound to you and when the data is uploaded to the Imperial Gene Bank, you will have your unique identity proof. ”

Bai Jing pursed his lips. He wasn’t native to this place, so in case there was a difference in his body’s data-

Before he could think of a countermeasure, he heard a ‘drop’ sound and the light brain automatically popped up a translucent interface above.

[Warning: Owner’s body is in a state of chronic ill-health, please replenish the nutrients as soon as possible. ]

Bai Jing breathed a long sigh of relief in his mind. It seems his data hadn’t come out abnormal.

Wang Xin: “9500 star coins excluding the 3000 for the purchase of the light brain, the remaining 6500 star coins have been credited to your account, please check your receipt. ”

Bai Jing: “How many star coins did the nutrient solution just now cost?”

“Huh? “Wang Xin froze for a moment then waved her hand in response, “No need.” The Gu Group would reimburse all the star coins she spends on such handling of emergencies, she had just done what she was supposed to do.

“100 Star coins for a bottle of primary nutrient solution.”

Bai Jing had quickly opened his light brain to make a query, and the pop-up interface showed the price of the primary nutrient solution. His learning speed was incredibly fast!

“Thank you for just now.” Bai Jing said in a very sincere tone as he looked at Wang Xin. If it hadn’t been for her help, he might not have been able to hold on.

He quickly found her account through his light brain and transferred 500 star coins directly to show his gratitude. Then he transferred 1,000 star coins to the middle-aged man named Jiao Gui. He had never liked to owe people favours.

Wang Xin blushed slightly. When this teenager gazed at her, the pupils of his teal eyes looked like they contained a clear spring, so breathtakingly beautiful that it actually made her heart thump.

“I’ll go first.”

Bai Jing nodded towards Wang Xin, glanced at the 5,000 star coins displayed on his account and turned to leave. He needed to find a place to stay as soon as possible and get to know this world properly.
