Chapter 76: Underground Boxing Ring Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On this day, Qin Yu sat in the hotel while absorbing the spiritual energy from the surroundings with great difficulty.
There were many people in the provincial capital, but the land was sparse, and the spiritual energy was also extremely scarce. For the entire day, Qin Yu’s gains were almost negligible.
“It seems that the big city isn’t suitable for me,” Qin Yu thought to himself.
Although that was the case, Qin Yu knew very well that although the spiritual energy in the big cities was scarce, other resources it had were far from what other cities could compare with.
For example, herbs.
In Jiangcheng, herbs that were more than ten years old were considered precious. However, in the provincial capital, one could even see the king of herbs that were fifty or even a hundred years old.
At night, Song Wei called Qin Yu punctually.
She and Li Yan had already booked a restaurant early and were waiting for Qin Yu in the restaurant.
Half an hour later, Qin Yu and Yao Qing arrived at this restaurant.
Li Yan specially found a private room in the high-end restaurant. This restaurant was extremely expensive, and costed 20,000 yuan per person.
To Li Yan, this was definitely a huge sum of money.
After Qin Yu entered, Li Yan hurriedly stood up to welcome him.
“Mr. Qin, you’re here.” Li Yan’s attitude was extremely respectful.
This made Qin Yu a little embarrassed. He waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to be so polite.”

Li Yan smiled embarrassedly and said, “I’m sorry. I’ve been in the workforce for a long time. When I see someone with a higher status than me, I’m used to groveling.”
Qin Yu didn’t comment on this. This was indeed the reality.
Then, Li Yan called for the waiter to begin to serve the dishes.
The meal was extremely extravagant, with Boston lobster and French foie gras, almost all of which Qin Yu had never eaten before.
“Qin Yu, what kind of job do you have now? You’re so impressive that even Wei Jiang showed respect to you,” Song Wei asked at the dinner table.
Qin Yu thought for a moment and said, “I don’t have any high status. I’m just an ordinary person.”
“Tsk, you’re so low-key,” Song Wei rolled her eyes and said.
Qin Yu smiled and didn’t explain.
The few of them strode into the first level of the underground boxing ring.
As soon as they entered, Qin Yu heard commotion coming from inside.
There were shouts and curses. The layout of the underground boxing ring was similar to that of a bar.
There were scattered tables and booths all around. One could drink and eat.
The only difference was that the dance floor in front of them had been turned into a ring.
“Mr. Qin, follow me.” Li Yan waved his hand, then the few of them walked to a booth and sat down.
As soon as they sat down, the waiter came over with a wine list.
Qin Yu casually glanced around and found that the wine here was extremely expensive. A bottle of beer actually cost close to a hundred yuan.
At this moment, there were two brawny men brawling in the arena. Each of their punches seemed extremely lethal!
Every time someone fell, there would be excited shouts coming from all around. It was simply no different from a Colosseum.
“Mr. Qin, we can also place bets here on which contestant would win. Do you want to play?” Li Yan said with a smile.
Qin Yu waved his hand. He wasn’t interested in gambling at all.
“What’s so fun about this place? It’s too cruel.” Song Wei frowned and couldn’t help but turn her face to the side.
“Gee, you don’t understand. This is called the most primitive form of fighting! The most primitive form of violence!” Li Yan said excitedly.
He looked at the fighting on the stage and waved his hands.
Unfortunately, Li Yan was obviously an amateur.
“Yo, isn’t Li Yan?!”
At this moment, a woman with large bouncy curls and wearing a short skirt suddenly walked over.
She walked directly to Li Yan and said with a mocking expression, “Li Yan, do you think you are qualified to come to this kind of place for fun?”
When he saw this woman, Li Yan’s expression instantly turned a little ugly.
With a cold expression, he said, “It has nothing to do with you.”
The provocatively-dressed girl snorted and looked at Song Wei. She sneered and said, “Is this your new girlfriend? What? Has your taste in women changed? Do you like goody-two-shoes now?”
“Goody-two-shoes ? It’s obvious that she’s just pretending. There’s no telling how many men she’s actually screwing in reality!” A woman in a tight-fitting skirt beside the provocatively-dressed girl sneered.
