Chapter 3: The Dilemma
"A thousand star yuan?" Liu Bei subconsciously asked.
He was thinking about something else just now, and there were so many doubts about it now. For example, how did he come to this world? Why is the owner of this body also called Liu Bei? What is the connection?
However, before he could sort it out, the fat man's words pulled him back to reality.
"Yes, yes," the fat man replied quickly. There was eagerness in his eyes, and it was an obsession with money.
"What is Xingyuan?" Liu Bei asked. Although the title sounds like it should be a monetary unit.
"Xingyuan is money... , you're not going to forget about that, are you?" the fat man was a little suspicious. The gaze he stared at Liu Bei made Liu Bei's scalp tingle.
"Since it's amnesia, of course I can't remember it..."Liu Bei said weakly. He was a little weak and worried that his 'amnesia' would be exposed.
In general, the so-called amnesia is only the loss of part of the memory, and it is impossible to lose all of the memory. And at this moment, Liu Bei seems to have lost all his memory, which is a bit contrary to common sense.
"By the way, when did I borrow your money?" he quickly changed the subject.
"Well, this... , when you buy a gift for Murong Xue..."The fat man's suspicion suddenly turned into a weak heart. In fact, the original Liu Bei didn't ask him to borrow money at all.
"Murong Xue?" Liu Bei paused. Combined with the fat man's previous words, he seemed to understand something.
"Is that the school girl I peeked at?" Liu Bei asked the fat man.
"What a peek, you are looking openly! Otherwise, how would you borrow money to buy gifts for the other party?" The fat man did not ask for a clear conscience, but he asked for the 1,000 Xingyuan incident to be reasonable.
After he finished speaking, he secretly observed Liu Bei's reaction.
"No wonder I was beaten by someone's boyfriend..."Liu Bei didn't doubt what the fat man said, he showed an ugly wry smile. In his opinion, the previous Liu Bei was clearly a two hundred and five. Knowing that the other party has a boyfriend, he still digs the foot of the wall...... , and was killed.
However, he really wronged the original Liu Bei in this matter. The original Liu Bei had a cowardly personality, and at most he dared to hide in the dark and secretly look at him, how could he dare to give gifts?
Seeing that Liu Bei did not suspect it, the fat man quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, what about my family? You also know that I have amnesia, and I can't remember anything..."Liu Bei once again emphasized that he had amnesia.
Since you have come to this world, you have to find a way to survive. Therefore, he must first understand Liu Bei's interpersonal relationships. Family is the most important part of this.
Liu Bei's heart was a little nervous. This time it was not because of fear of exposure, but because of the meaning of the word family. In his previous life, he was an orphan and had never experienced what it was like to have parents.
Although he had fantasized about that feeling more than once, fantasizing about it being a warmth, a warmth that almost melted. However, when he woke up, he realized that it was just a fantasy.
Because of this, the word family caused Liu Bei's deepest touch.
Although it was only Liu Bei's family.
The fat man watched Liu Bei's eyes widen. It was only at this moment that he was extremely sure that Liu Bei really didn't remember anything. Because his family has always been Liu Bei's backlash, he didn't allow others to mention it at all before.
"Your parents are heroic martyrs, and they were killed by demon beasts in order to save a person from a C-level city..."The fat man was a little sad when he spoke. He felt sorry for his brother.
"It is precisely because of this that you can study at this Holy Martial Academy. The fat man wiped his tears.
"Uh..."Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although this situation made him safer, his heart was filled with an inexplicable loss.
Liu Bei's loss turned into sadness in the fat man's eyes.
"Brother, you don't have to be sad, I will be your family from now on..."The fat man patted his slightly plump chest.
Liu Bei was very moved, but more of it was numb. The fat man's shiny little eyes gave him goosebumps all over his body.
"Well, by the way, fat man, what about your family?" Liu Bei led the conversation. Otherwise, he really doubted that he would have suffered a cardiac arrest due to numbness.
"They, hehe, dead!" the fat man's sparkling eyes instantly turned cold.
From the fat man's answer, Liu Bei knew that his family was definitely still alive, and even there was a great contradiction between them, or hatred was more appropriate.
Judging from the fat man's tone, he was reluctant to mention it. So Liu Bei didn't continue to ask.
"By the way, fat man, how do I usually get my living expenses?" he thought of a very serious question in a blink of an eye. He looked at the fat man with sparkling eyes.
Perhaps, there's a big legacy?
The fat man gave a disdainful look.
"After the martyrs, the alliance is obliged to raise them, and the orphans will raise them until they are 16 years old. Like you, you can receive 2,000 Star Dollars from the Alliance every month. In addition, you don't have to pay the tuition fees for studying at the Alliance Academy. "The fat man said that he was foaming at the mouth.
"So good? So, the money I owe you can be paid off in half a month?" Liu Bei sighed.
The fat man looked at Liu Bei like an idiot. It was only after a while that he spoke quietly.
"You'll be 16 next month, and you've already received it this month, which means you can only get another 2,000. And don't think there's 1000 left. As far as I know, you're now penniless. Now I need to borrow money for dinner, and it is estimated that I will receive enough money to pay off the money for dinner during this time..."
Every time the fat man said a word, Liu Bei's heart was a little colder.
When Liu Bei felt that his heart was cold, the fat man's words were not finished.
"And that's not the main thing. Because you are 16 years old, the league will no longer pay you tuition. And if you don't apply for a scholarship, if you can't pay it by then, you will likely be expelled from the college..."
Although Liu Bei is not clear about the rules of survival in this world, listening to the tone of this fat man, being expelled from the academy should be a very serious matter, and if you don't know it, it will be the beginning of a tragic life.
So, he wouldn't allow that to happen anyway.
"Fatty, is there a way to make money?" Liu Bei's expectant eyes sparkled.
"You want to earn tuition?" asked the fat man.
"Hmm. Liu Bei replied affirmatively.
"Didn't you decide to drop out last time... Oh yes, I almost forgot that you have amnesia now. The fat man didn't react until he was halfway through speaking.
"Actually, there are many ways to make money, either it's too risky or too little money..."
"Instead of trying to find ways to make money, I think it's better to find a way to earn contribution points in the Land of Trials. Contribution points are very valuable, and they can even be directly offset by tuition, but it is more difficult to obtain......"
