It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 931 Underground Casino!

Ling Lan pointed to the mecha components and asked curiously, “There are people playing with mechas here too?”

Military mechas could only be maintained by the military in order to keep the technology a secret. As for the mechas of the elite families, the maintenance would be done by the mecha company that made them. Even if the company outsourced its maintenance services, they wouldn’t look for a small shop like The Wang Shop. Hence, the customers of The Wang Shop could only be ordinary people who used normal mechas that had no weapons on them.

Grandpa Wang smiled but didn’t reply to her. On the other hand, Wang Qi replied without any hesitation, “There is an underground casino where people will fight using mechas. Those people like to send their mechas to us to modify them.”

Grandpa Wang shook his head slightly and sighed when he saw his grandson replying to the customer truthfully.

“There is an underground mecha arena?” Ling Lan raised one of her eyebrows. She didn’t expect this calm and peaceful-looking planet to have such an advanced mecha casino. Normally, this kind of casino only existed in prosperous planets.

“Of course. If you can become the champion on Planet Muyang, you’ll be able to go to the mecha arena on Mai’er Fa.” Wang Qi had a yearning look when he talked about Mailer Fa. It seemed like he wanted to visit the most famous gambling planet of the human race.

Mailer Fa was an independent planet at the edge of human society. It was a prosperous planet that only runs gambling businesses. The most famous casino there was the mecha arena. There were all kinds of mecha operators there, from the lowest level to the highest level of imperial operators. These mecha operators were exiled. They didn’t belong to any countries and no countries welcomed them. Hence, they could only go to these no man’s lands.

Hundreds of millions of gamblers would come to Mailer Fa every day. This was the holy ground for all gamblers. As long as they managed to get onto Mailer Fa, their lives would be much better. The commission for a match was enough for them to live comfortably for two to three years. Even if they died accidentally in the arena, the pension was enough for their families to have a good life.

The natural pressure of life caused a certain portion of poor citizens to choose this dangerous path. Some people also took the risk to become mercenaries there. They all wanted to give their families a better life. In order to achieve this, they were willing to risk their lives.

“What are you talking about? Do your work.” Grandpa Wang’s expression changed when he heard his grandson talking about Mailer Fa.

Ling Lan seemed to understand something from the reaction of two people in front of her. She didn’t stay at the shop any longer. She promptly arranged a time with Liu Aihua to go back together and continued walking around the old streets.

When the sun was about to set, Ling Lan returned to the mecha shop and went home with Liu Aihua. The moment she entered the house, a round white ball pounced on her.

Ling Lan caught it. Little White had tears in his eyes as he looked at her petulantly.

“Master, how can you throw me here like this? You’re so heartless,” Little White complained.

“Didn’t I find a toy for you,” Ling Lan replied irresponsibly.

“Rawr...” Little White shouted angrily. ‘Aren’t I the little boy’s toy instead? I almost got ruined after he played with me.’

“Fine, fine. I’ll bring you out next time. I know that you’re very obedient,” Ling Lan comforted Little White.

“Rawr!” Little White hugged its face with its tentacles shyly. ‘My master praised me for being obedient. I’m so happy.’ If it could shake its butt or if it did have a butt, Little White would definitely shake it to display his happiness.

Thus, the stupid Little White got consoled by Ling Lan’s insincere words. It didn’t mind that it became the toy of a little child.

“Sister, you’re back. Brother Jiang Hui, my mother cooked a lot of good food. We’re waiting for you to eat together.” Liu Aijun swallowed his saliva. No wonder he was waiting at the entrance. He was too hungry so he was waiting for Ling Lan to come back quickly so that they could eat dinner.

“Let’s go and have dinner then. I’m hungry after walking around for the entire afternoon.” Ling Lan wouldn’t disappoint this little boy.

After they walked into the small dining room, they saw a sumptuous dinner laid out on the small dining table. The mother of the siblings wanted to bring Ling Lan’s food into her room but Ling Lan rejected her offer. She told Mother Liu that she wanted to enjoy home-cooked food together with everyone as she had been away from home for a long time and wanted to experience the feeling of eating as a family.

The manners of the Liu family was good. Before Ling Lan sat down, Liu Aijun and Liu Aihua stood at the side and waited for her. They only sat down excitedly after Ling Lan called them over.

Liu Aijun was still young so he didn’t know how to hide his desire. He looked at Ling Lan with clear anticipation in his eyes. The moment she started eating, he would be able to eat too.

Mother Liu saw this and scolded him. “Aijun, don’t be rude.”

Liu Aijun was sad. He lowered his head in sadness. If he didn’t take Ling Lan as his real family, he wouldn’t have displayed such emotions. It had to be said that the aura on Ling Lan was too gentle and calm, so Liu Aijun and Liu Aihua had lowered their guards around her.

“Aunt Liu, if you still think of me as a guest, I’ll not stay here anymore.” Ling Lan pretended to be unhappy. She took a piece of meat and placed it in Liu Aijun’s bowl. “Aijun, let’s eat together. Let’s not care about your mother.” She winked at Liu Aijun as though they were friendly relatives. Liu Aijun instantly smiled brightly.

“You too, Aihua.” Ling Lan didn’t forget the little girl. This little girl went out to work at a very young age in order to lessen her family’s burden, so Ling Lan felt pity for her.

“Thank you, Brother Jiang Hui.” Liu Aihua still thanked Ling Lan. This showed how deep their teachings were. Their manners were not just for display. It had already become their habit. Ling Lan lowered her head when she was eating and hid the puzzlement in her gaze.

Mother Liu smiled when she saw the three people becoming more harmonious, and the gloominess in her eye slowly dissipated.

For the next few days, Ling Lan traveled further around Planet Muyang with the hover buses. However, she would always come back before dusk. Grandpa Wang wasn’t as vigilant towards Ling Lan now. He was willing to tell her some interesting things on Planet Muyang. It attracted Wang Qi and Liu Aihua’s interest too so they would always carry their chairs and listen at the side.
