As for learning skills, I have to put it aside for the time being.
The next morning, the four of them went out to perform tasks at the same time. Barbara earned the most money that day. He was already familiar with the huge Nan Tian City, so he was very fast in doing these basic tasks. In the whole day, he earned a total of eight silver coins. When he passed by the ranking list in the big square, he saw that the population display of Nan Tian City above had changed, and the second-level master list had also changed by three people.
Throughout the day today, there were unexpectedly two more level 2 experts. Apparently, everyone was slowly catching up.
As for Barbara, she had already been neglected for two days.
Barbara touched her nose, sighed softly, and returned to the hotel.
Jella earned five silver coins, and Fern earned six silver coins and fifty copper coins. All together, she now has thirty-three silver coins. If Bai Lan comes back soon, and adds what she earned that day, it will definitely reach thirty-five silver coins.
A faint smile appeared on Barbara's cheek. With these silver coins, she could buy a small dimensional bag for ten silver coins, and then a water bottle, dry food, a map, etc. That was basically enough. Tomorrow, she could finally do higher-level tasks than before.
They stayed there until it was completely dark. When everyone was a little worried, Bai Lan finally came back. However, when he came back, his face was red and he reeked of alcohol when he spoke.
Barbara frowned. It was obvious that Bai Lan had drunk a lot of wine.
Bai Lan looked at Barbara with a slightly drunken look, then suddenly laughed and said, "Little brother, you stinky men... hehe... none of you are good girls... especially those old immortals who carry the title of 'Gambling King'..."
After searching the body for a long time, she finally took out a few copper coins: "This young lady... earned money from completing the mission today..."
There were only thirteen copper coins in total.
Barbara was speechless. Fern said quickly, "Sister Bai, you've had too much to drink. Let me take you to bed."
"I'm not drunk yet, I know... that men are not good children... they will cheat on girls... play with girls... and completely ignore their responsibilities once they get them pregnant... no matter how miserable the baby will be without a father..."
He swayed to sit on the stool, climbed onto the table, rested his head on his arms, and spoke softly.
Barbara sighed and felt a headache.
Fern said softly, "Sister Bai, she must have her own sad past. Boss, look at her, she is angry, right?"
"No!"
Barbara laughed.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Barbara opened the door and saw the shop assistant smiling and saying, "Sir, there are two gentlemen looking for the lady in white and blue."
Barbara was startled for a moment, and then she saw two sturdy men with broad shoulders and strong waists appearing behind the clerk. They were obviously not good people.
"That Bai Lan is here, right? Let her out quickly."
A sturdy man snorted.
Barbara was slightly surprised and asked, "Who are you two? What do you want to see her for?"
"Little boy, we are the debt collectors from the Nantian City Casino. The girl named Bai Lan lost money in our casino yesterday. She also borrowed 50 gold coins from us, but lost all of them. Today, we are here to collect the debt. If you know what's happening, quickly hand over all the 50 gold coins. Otherwise, you will be in trouble!"
As he finished speaking, he shook the IOU in his hand, on which was Bai Lan's name.
The other big man laughed coldly, "This girl is really dishonest. She actually came to our gambling house to cheat. At first, she really took away a lot of money. It's a pity that she was too greedy and didn't know when to stop. Later, she was discovered by us and couldn't cheat anymore. Her skills are just this good. She lost miserably, haha."
Barbara and Fern, who followed out, were all stunned.
It turned out that the story of being robbed by masked thugs on the way was all made up by her. The real reason was that she went to a gambling house and lost all her money, and also borrowed another 50 gold coins.
Fifty gold coins, this amount of money, could kill them at this moment.
Barbara was so angry that her face flickered. She turned around and looked at Bai Lan who was sleeping on the table.
Fern also frowned.
Bai Lan was still lying on the table unconscious, her eyes blurred with drunkenness, and she whispered softly, "Men...are not good babies either..."
The little girl shouted, "Impossible, Aunt Bai would never borrow money from you for gambling. Even if Aunt Bai likes gambling and loses money, she will never borrow fifty gold coins from you again. You are talking nonsense. Aunt Bai would never do this. Xueling believes Aunt Bai!"
As she shouted, tears welled up in her big eyes.
A man looked at her and said calmly, "Yes, she didn't borrow the fifty gold coins herself, but who asked her to cheat and win the fifty gold coins in the first place? According to the rules of our gambling house, if you are caught cheating, your life will be taken away. At the least, you will have to pay a receipt to our casino for the amount of money you won. Then, we will use this money as gambling capital and make a fair bet. As long as you are good at gambling, you can usually get the money back. On the other hand, if you lose everything, you will have to pay back the money. We see that she is a girl, so we are already very lenient in dealing with her with the least amount of punishment."
"Either you help her pay back the money, or you hand her over to us."
Later on, the two sturdy men who came to collect the debt said coldly together.
Fern said gently, "Boss, can you please hold off for a while? We really can't come up with that much money right now."
The sturdy man laughed coldly, "Two days of grace is fine. Fifty gold coins, and the daily interest is thirty silver coins. Then take out today's interest first, and we can postpone it until tomorrow. Remember, don't think you can run away, unless you want to be wiped out from this world. Over the years, I don't know how many people like you who wanted to run away or default on their debts have been killed. Humph, level one and level two are nothing."
The last sentence shocked people. Even more than before, they could see at a glance that Barbara had already reached the second level.
Although the two sturdy men looked like ordinary people on the surface, the aura they exuded made Barbara feel that they were even more perverted than the Bull Demon Lord before.
It is very obvious that these common people in Nantian City, whether they are ordinary shop assistants or debt collectors from the two gambling houses, are all willing to be extremely powerful. It's just that they must follow certain rules and cannot actively interfere with the development of this world, nor will they ask about other people's affairs. However, if they are involved, for example, you borrowed money from them but don't want to acknowledge it, or even want to rob them, then, I'm afraid you'll be digging your own grave.
As a result, they could only give them thirty silver coins. The two strong men left quickly, and then left a message: "Remember, tomorrow, either you return fifty gold coins, or you pay interest of thirty silver coins, otherwise, you have to hand over the girl."
Immediately, the few people had only three silver coins and dozens of copper coins left.
Tomorrow, how to deal with this matter tomorrow? Barbara had only paid two days' rent at that time, and it was due tomorrow morning. Moreover, even if they worked hard to complete the task tomorrow, the money they got would not be enough to pay back the interest of thirty silver coins, which was even more than the huge amount of fifty gold coins they had to pay before.
Bai Lan was lying on the table and had fallen asleep long ago.
Barbara and the other two looked at her under the light and said nothing.
Even the little girl understood the seriousness of the situation. If she couldn't get thirty silver coins by tomorrow, her Aunt Bai would be taken away by those hideous people.
"Big Brother... don't be angry with Aunt Bai... let's... let's work hard to make money tomorrow... let's..."
The voice trailed off, even she had heard this was too hard.
Barbara had a gloomy face and the atmosphere was terribly depressing.
After a while, he exhaled, picked up the last three silver coins, and then handed the remaining dozens of copper coins to Fern, saying, "These copper coins should be enough for your breakfast tomorrow. Next, you all do your best to continue to do those elementary tasks. Leave the rest to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Fern was startled and quickly grabbed Barbara's sleeve.
"Where do you want to go?"
Seeing a hint of fear in her eyes, Barbara said calmly, "Don't worry, we will gather in front of the huge screen in front of the square at sunset tomorrow."
Then he left resolutely and quickly.
The little girl even called out "Big Brother", but Barbara ignored her.
The two women looked at each other, both showing their bewildered emotions. Jella suddenly said, "Sister... Big Brother... has he abandoned us... has he..."
I was so scared that I almost cried.
Fern gritted his teeth and shook his head, saying, "Impossible... He can't do that. Didn't you hear that he asked us to wait for him at the Grand Plaza tomorrow?"
The little girl said, "Well, I believe in Big Brother too!"
But the tears kept flowing.
All along, it was Barbara who quickly brought them here. Now Barbara suddenly left quickly. They suddenly felt helpless and afraid of the future.
Barbara took the last three silver coins in her body, spent two silver coins to go to the department store to buy a map of the area around Nantian City, and used the last silver coin to buy some dry food, then went to the "Notice Board"
