Finally, Xu Chunniang took Xiaobai around Fuyu City and bought nothing. They both returned to Mr. Gong's courtyard.
Xiaobai walked around the yard and whispered, "This house doesn't look like anything special. Why is it so expensive?"
Xu Chunniang smiled and said, "There are immortal veins in Fuyu City, and the location is naturally more expensive. One day of training here is worth three to five days of training in Zhangwei Mountain."
"Even so, I still think it's expensive."
Xiaobai shook his head and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked Xu Chunniang about her errand.
"Sister, will it be hard and dangerous for you to work under that big shot?"
Xu Chunniang thought for a while and followed Xiaobai's words, "It's a little bit, but it's still within my tolerance. Moreover, the big shot is interested in my potential and will not send me dangerous tasks." .”
Xiaobai finally felt at ease after hearing this and stopped asking any more questions.
Xu Chunniang originally thought that she had earned the fairy crystal. This time Xiaobai came to Fuyu City, and she wanted to take him around and taste the delicacies of Yuchun Tower.
However, she didn't want to tell Xiaobai everything about the fighting arena, so these things could only be postponed temporarily.
The two were chatting in the hall, and not long after, Mr. Gong came back from finishing his work.
He glanced at the two of them, sat down on the other side of the table with a natural expression, took out a wine flask from his arms and poured himself a drink, looking like he was in a good mood.
"Did Mr. Gong's affairs go smoothly?"
"It's okay, same old."
Mr. Gong chuckled and looked at Xu Chunniang meaningfully, "How are you adapting to working under that 'big man'?"
"Everything goes well, the 'big man' appreciates me."
Xu Chunniang looked calm and showed no embarrassment at all, "Speaking of this, it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't recommended me, I wouldn't have found such a good job."
Gong Laoqian stared and couldn't drink the wine in his hand, but in front of Xiao Bai, he couldn't say anything more and just snorted softly.
"I heard that you are doing great now. You can earn a thousand fairy crystals a month, which is no worse than the old man. Is it time to pay me back the few fairy crystals you owe me?"
Xu Chunniang smiled, took out a cloth bag and handed it to Mr. Gong.
"I don't want to say anything, Mr. Gong, but I also intend to return this fairy crystal to you. The total with interest is eight hundred and four. The extra sixty is a little bit of my heart. I hope Mr. Gong will not be too little."
Mr. Gong took the fairy crystal and weighed it with satisfaction, "Not bad, sixty fairy crystals are enough for me to make two pots of good wine, haha!"
After paying off her debt, Xu Chunniang took out her "only" hundred immortal crystals and handed them to Xiaobai.
"I'm working under that 'big man' in Fuyu City. I don't need the fairy crystal. You can keep the money."
Xiao Bai originally wanted to refuse, but Mr. Gong held his hand with a smile, "Just take it if your sister tells you to. She has a good job now, and she doesn't need the fairy crystal."
Hearing this, Xiaobai had no choice but to accept the fairy crystal.
Mr. Gong shook the wine gourd, but the wine inside was empty.
He threw the wine gourd on the table and looked at Xiaobai with a smile, "There is a fairy brewery over on the West Street. When your sister took you around the city during the day, have you been there?"
Xiaobai thought about it for a while and nodded affirmatively, "I've been there, and my sister also said that you always like to drink the wine brewed by that winery!"
Mr. Gong pointed to the wine jug on the table, and took out thirty fairy crystals and handed them to Xiao Bai, "Haha, since you know that I like it, please run a leg and help me get a jug of wine back. I want it." The signature seven-day drunkenness.”
Xiaobai didn't doubt that he was there, so he took the wine bottle and fairy crystal and went out.
Fuyu City has strict laws and few people dare to cause trouble in the city. It is safe no matter day or night.
After Xiaobai left, Mr. Gong looked at Xu Chunniang with squinted eyes and nodded happily.
"Not bad. In just one and a half months, you have been promoted from a D-level fighter to a C-level fighter. You are stronger than I thought. You are not going wrong in the fighting arena."
Xu Chunniang smiled and said modestly, "I'm just lucky."
Mr. Gong snorted lightly and was noncommittal.
Although he had never seen Xu Chunniang's competition with his own eyes, he had heard many related stories.
"Why do I feel that your performance in the last few competitions has been strange? Are you deliberately hiding your clumsiness?"
Xu Chunniang did not hide anything from Mr. Gong and admitted frankly, "There is one thing. If you don't do this, the odds are too low and you won't be able to earn a few immortal crystals."
In fact, after a few matches, the arena had similar speculations, so her odds for the last match had slightly improved.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, old man, I really made a mistake."
Mr. Gong stared at Xu Chunniang with mixed emotions. He originally thought that the other party was just a bit powerful, but now it seems that she is many times stronger than himself at the same time.
Mr. Gong sighed endlessly, "If I had known it, I would have stayed in Fuyu City in the past two months. Just pressing some immortal crystals on you would be better than me working hard in the mountains to chop down trees and make incense."
Xu Chunniang laughed dumbly, "Isn't it too late to place your bet now?"
Mr. Gong glared at her angrily, "It's different now. After you are promoted to a Class C fighter, the opponents you encounter will be stronger. How can you be sure of victory?"
Xu Chunniang said calmly, "What if I say yes?"
Seeing that the expression on her face didn't look like she was joking, Mr. Gong's heart moved, "Is this serious?"
He has always known that money comes in quickly in the fighting arena, but it goes away faster when it comes in. There are many people who lose their money gambling in the fighting arena and go bankrupt, and they do not hesitate to pawn and sell their property.
Xu Chunniang didn't try to persuade her anymore, she just said, "If Mr. Gong doesn't believe it, you can just wait and see for one or two games before making a decision."
Mr. Gong always has to make his own decision on this kind of thing, and no one else can do it for him.
Anyway, it’s the immortal crystals in the fighting arena. If you don’t earn it, you won’t earn it. When she brought Xiaobai to Zhangwei Mountain, Mr. Gong helped her a lot. Now that there is such a good opportunity to earn immortal crystals, she is willing to tell Mr. Gong, It just depends on whether he believes her or not.
Mr. Gong thought for a while and finally nodded, "Okay, when will your next fight be? I'll wait and see first before deciding whether to place a bet."
Xu Chunniang informed Mr. Gong about the time of the next fight and told him to buy tickets early, "This is my first fight after being promoted. It will attract a lot of people to watch. If I don't start early, I will have to spend a lot of money." Buy tickets from other people for three or even five times the price.”
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Mr. Gong sighed in his heart. More than a month ago, when Xu Chunniang planned to enter the fighting arena to fight for her future, he was not optimistic about it.
But it has only been a short time, and the other party has already gained some fame in the fighting arena. As time goes by, he will be favored by some big forces and taken to the second or even third heaven.
It seems that he did the right thing by giving her a hand.
