Infinite Sims

Chapter 130 Preparation
"Qianqian, I'm back!"

A rough voice came from outside the courtyard door, and a tall and burly man walked into the courtyard with a smile.

Ding Qianqian rushed out of Jiang Ren's side with joy on hearing the voice.

"It started again."

Jiang Ren turned his head and looked at his parents in this world.

No matter how you look at these two people, they are like the real version of Beauty and the Beast.

"Qianqian!"

"Ape!"

"Qianqian!"

"Ape..."

The two hugged each other directly.

Soon, the tall stone ape was holding Ding Qianqian in a circle, completely ignoring their five-year-old son a few steps away.

"Tsk, I'm full before I eat."

Jiang Ren felt that he hadn't eaten much else in the past few years, and he was full of dog food.

Who can imagine this scene, which happens almost every day, and no one feels bored.

But it also benefits from this.

Jiang Ren is now basically immune to this picture.

After a while, the two separated.

Shi Yuan's attention was finally away from his wife. When he saw Jiang Ren standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "Xiaoyong, why are you here? You saw it just now?"

"No, I didn't see it, you go ahead."

Jiang Ren turned around and came to the dining table, and sat on his exclusive elevated seat.

Seeing this, Shi Yuan was a little moved: "Qianqian, look..."

"Go to dinner soon."

Ding Qianqian hit his thick arm with her small hand, turned around and walked quickly into the house.

In addition to the freshly made soup, there are three dishes of one meat and two vegetables on the table.

If you just look at the dishes, it's not like what a slave who can't decide his own life would eat, but like an ordinary family with a decent life.

However, these are just appearances.

The main reason why slaves in the arena are better than slaves in other places is that the daily necessities of life in the arena are all earned by fighting.

Gladiator as the breadwinner of the family.

Once they die, or are unable to fight anymore, the family will be sold to the mine owner to squeeze out the last value.

During this period of nearly six years.

Jiang Ren had seen some people more than a dozen times, for similar reasons, were taken away by the guards of the arena, and then never appeared again.

"Xiaoyong, you see you are so thin, why don't you eat more."

Shi Yuan picked up a chopstick of meat and put it in Jiangren's bowl, and said: "Whenever you can be half as strong as me, I will be satisfied."

"Ha ha."

Jiang Ren smiled expressionlessly.

Whether she is strong or not at this age depends on her physical talent, but this body is obviously more like Nie Qianqian's. Eating too much has no second benefit other than getting fat.

See Jiang Ren's expression.

Shi Yuan and Ding Qianqian looked at each other and immediately burst out laughing.

They knew that this son was different from his peers since he was a child. He was smart, sensible, and well-behaved. He never caused trouble, but he didn't look like a child.

It's okay before the age of three or four, and you can "ravage" and tease in various ways.

Now that I'm a little older, I can't "ravage" on hand, but verbal teasing is still very interesting.

After eating.

Jiang Ren took the initiative to take up the job of washing the dishes, put away the dishes and brought them out of the room.

And the two people in the house were stuck together again.

"Take a few days off, okay?"

Ding Qianqian leaned against Shi Yuan's arms and raised her head to look at him with a hint of worry on her face.

"I……"

Shi Yuan showed bitterness, took a deep breath, and then shook his head: "Qianqian, I also want to rest for a few more days, but next month is Xiaoyong's sixth birthday, if the date of awakening the spirit is postponed, it will affect his future."

Ding Qianqian looked sad: "Didn't you already gather enough victory points and money for Xiaoyong's awakening?"

"Normal awakening has flaws, which will affect the potential of summoning spirits."

Shi Yuan shook his head and said, "It must be fully awakened."

Only by fully awakening can a person's awakened spirit be awakened without any side effects, but it takes a lot of winning points and money to exchange for full awakening.

Even though he has worked hard to earn winning points and money all these years, it is still not enough.

"But……"

Ding Qianqian still wanted to persuade, but she stopped after uttering a word, and then sighed softly.

She knew that although her husband usually listened to her own words, he would not change his mind on certain things he recognized no matter what she said.

"be careful."

Ding Qianqian pressed her face against his chest, feeling the warmth from above.

In a gladiatorial match, one party must die.

However, both parties involved in ordinary gladiatorial battles are spirit summoners, and spirit summoners can be re-summoned after death, so even if they die, the influence on the spirit summoner will not be too great.

But if the summoning spirit dies many times in a short period of time, the originally insignificant impact will increase exponentially, ranging from serious injuries to death.

This is also the reason why she doesn't want her husband to work so hard.

Because his strength can only be regarded as ordinary among the same gladiators, and the outcome of gladiatorial fights is [-] to [-], which is far from reaching the strength of winning more and losing less.

In other words.

For every two gladiatorial fights that Stone Ape participated in, one of them would end in the death of the summoning spirit, which would undoubtedly have a lot of impact on his body.

"Don't worry, I know my body, and with a wife as lovely as Qianqian, how can I be willing to die?"

Shi Yuan reached out and hugged her, laughing loudly.

Ding Qianqian thumped his chest lightly with her fist: "I hate it."

Hold on for a moment.

Looking at the dim night outside the house, Shi Yuan knew that he was running out of time.

Now there are only eight days until next month. If he can't save the money and win points for fully awakening in these eight days, it will probably affect his son's potential.

Even if the impact is low, he is not willing.

Shi Yuan knew very well that he had been like this all his life, and he could not escape the shackles of slaves for the rest of his life.

But his son's body can only be said to be average among his peers, but several times when he had conflicts with older children, he easily knocked them down in a way that was almost crushing.

This let him know that his son has a strong fighting talent.

And this is a talent that can be used in summoning spirits.

As for whether his son will awaken some spirits that have no combat power, he is not worried about this. The type of spirits that a person can awaken has a great relationship with his parents' spirits.

If both parents are summoning spirits without combat effectiveness.

That child is also very likely to awaken a spirit that has no combat power.

He and his wife are both combat-type spirit summoners, and they are both animal-type. Adding the two together, this is the last thing he has to worry about.

Shi Yuan didn't know whether his son would become a powerful spirit summoner as he thought, stand at the pinnacle of the arena, break free from the shackles, and become a certified citizen.

He just knows.

As a father, the only thing I can do is to do my best to help my son lay a good foundation.

After a day off.

Shi Yuan said goodbye to Ding Qianqian and Jiang Ren, left the house, and headed to the south of the village.

There are several carriages stationed there, which are specially used to pick up and drop off gladiators.

"Participating in many gladiatorial fights in a short period of time will increase the rewards, so as long as I can win twice, I will have enough money and victory points."

Ishizu stepped into the carriage with confidence.

Seven days is enough for him to participate in four gladiatorial fights, and it is not difficult for him to win two.

Four days later.

The stone ape got off the carriage.

Compared with him a few days ago, his face at this moment is a little terribly pale, and his spirit, which was originally full of energy, is now much weaker.

"I lost again."

Shi Yuan's body became unsteady and he nearly fell to the ground, but fortunately he stretched out a hand in time to prop up his upper body.

Suddenly, he covered his mouth and coughed a few times.

Feeling the wetness from his hand, he picked it up and saw that there was a smear of blood coughed up on it.

"In five days, I fought three times, but lost all three times."

Stone Ape smiled wryly.

The loser only gets half of the reward of the winner, that is to say, he has not earned the money he fully awakened now.

And he had a hunch.

If you lose another game, it may even affect your life.

There has never been a day when he hated himself so much. Even if he wins one game, he can save enough for one win in four rounds.
"Xiaoyong, father is sorry for you."

Stone Ape coughed twice, and slowly stood up straight.

He knew that he could no longer participate, otherwise, if he failed, even if he survived, he would be useless.

Even if the son is fully awakened at that time, with such a burden as himself, it may be difficult for the mother and son to sustain it.

"Shi Jun, what's wrong with you?"

A young man with a white turban on his forehead came out of the nearby woods, saw the stone ape, and hurried over.

"It's you, Junichiro, I'm fine."

Shi Yuan looked at the man he had helped, shook his head and walked towards the village.

Sato Junichiro immediately stepped forward, supported Shi Yuan's body, and said as he walked, "Mr. Shi, don't hide from me. I heard that you recently participated in wrestling many times in order to earn money for your son's awakening. I wonder if you have raised enough?"

"not enough."

Shi Yuan's face was melancholy, but he didn't refuse his kindness.

Hearing this, Sato Junichiro immediately took out a few silver metal coins, put them directly into the pocket beside Ishizu, and said sincerely: "This is all my savings, please don't refuse."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I can't take it."

Shi Yuan waved his hand and refused, wanting to return the money to the other party.

Sato Junichiro refused, and said: "Why didn't Mr. Shi borrow some from others?"

"They're not rich either, and I'm mostly short on winning points."

Shi Yuan said that victory points can only be obtained by participating in a gladiatorial fight, but they cannot be transferred to anyone other than immediate family members.

Otherwise.

Even if the neighbor relationship is mediocre, it is not impossible to borrow a few more houses with the cheek.

Sato Junichiro thought for a while, and then said: "Don't we have the opportunity to appoint a gladiator once a year? As long as Mr. Shi, you appoint me as your opponent, and then we will play a scene. I will lose to you on purpose, so you can save money." Have you got the money for fully awakening?"

The slaves of the arena were scattered across several areas.

The two sides of each gladiatorial match were drawn from slaves from different regions, so as to prevent the possibility of collusion.

But as long as there are people, there will be fights, even slaves. There are extremely severe punishments for slaves in the same area to fight privately, so the privilege of appointing a person to fight is allowed once a year.

If the designated party refuses, it must compensate the designated party for the bounty of an ordinary gladiatorial fight.

And if you choose to accept, you can not only choose the type of gladiatorial fight, but also choose some conditions that are beneficial to you, such as maps.

"How can this work."

Although Stone Ape moved a bit, he still refused.

"Why can't it work?"

Sato Junichiro said with a serious face: "Seven years ago, when I first came here, I was almost sold to the mine owner because of insufficient victory points. If you hadn't saved me in this way, Mr. Shi, I'm afraid I would die now In which mine is it?"

Shi Yuan still hesitated.

The reason why I helped Junichiro at the beginning was not only because he was young and passionate, but also because he wanted to impress the female gladiators who came here in the same batch as Junichiro.

He didn't want people to help him like this, and more importantly, if Junichiro Sato broke his promise, he would undoubtedly be in danger.

"Mr. Shi!"

Junichiro Sato withdrew his hand from Ishizuru.

Quickly ran a few steps to the front, bent down to him, the upper body was almost parallel to the ground, and said sincerely: "Please give me a chance to repay!"

Plop.

Sato Junichiro knelt on the ground, bent down, his head almost touched the ground, and said in a sad tone: "I don't want to see your son, I missed the opportunity to fully awaken, his future should not be here!"

See the sincerity of the person in front of you.

Shi Yuan felt that he should have wrongly blamed him just now, but when he thought of his wife and children waiting for him to go back, he knew that he could not gamble and could not afford to gamble, so he refused again: "Thank you, but no need."
