Apocalypse: System of lotteries



Ming slapped  Rubio's shoulder, "Don't feel too burdened. Although this is dangerous, as a friend, I will definitely help you through thick and thin. Besides, you are so righteous, you won't treat your friends unfairly, right?"

"..."

  Rubio was stunned. Friends? But... in your eyes, all I see is the glimmer of money?

"I'll give you everything."

"Great, let's sign a contract then. We at Gutman Group are big on formalities."

"Contract? But... won't it be a waste of time to write it now?"

"No, I have prepared ones here."

Ming summoned Kubo and took out a stack of contracts from its handbag. These were all handwritten by Clos. He remembered that her right hand was numb after she finished writing them.

She was willing to give so much for her work, so naturally, he had to make good use of her hard work. The only way was to use these contracts properly and make her happy.

Rubio took a piece of paper, looked at the words on it, and then at the official seal below. Hmm, it was really formal. They signed the contract, pressed their fingerprints, and each held a copy. Party A: Little Rubio; Party B: Gutman.

"Pay the deposit."

"De...deposit?"

Rubio looked shocked, "But, the warehouse function is disabled, I can't withdraw gold coins, and my backpack has been taken away. All I have now is this set of equipment. If I take it off and give it to you..."

"I don't want your clothes."

Ming shook his head and pointed to the armored knight puppet standing next to the man in front of him, "This knight can also be used as a deposit."

Rubio was stunned. Bro, did you forget?

This armored knight is also what you sold to me, okay? Now you take it back in this way? I have been raising this puppet for you for so many days, right?

Unbelievable!

"After we leave here, can I redeem it with money?"

"Of course."

Ming nodded, and then the two happily completed the agreement. The puppet was still controlled by  Rubio, but the usage rights temporarily belonged to Ming.

"hey!"

At this time, a petite figure ran out from the corner of the street. Digennaro came to the man with excitement and happiness on her face. She glanced at  Rubio and shyly said, "Hello, I'm Digennaro. Is this your puppet? It looks pretty cool."

Rubio sighed, "No, it's your brother's now."

"wow~"

Digennaro leaned closer to Ming and whispered, "I remember our family doesn't seem to have such a useless puppet, right?"

"..."

I heard that, okay~

Today, not only was he unlucky, but he was being thoroughly insulted.

Ming rubbed the girl's head and said to  Rubio, "I'm sorry, my sis is still young and a bit blunt. She has a habit of speaking her mind. You don't mind, do you?"

"..."

Rubio was stunned, then he let out a sigh of relief. They are siblings and they both like to tell the truth

As long as your siblings are happy and I can survive, everything will be fine. 

Come on~ continue~

After a while, the three of them quietly passed through the streets and lanes. They carefully peeked around the corner, revealing a small square with a fountain, teeming with a horde of various zombies.

"According to the map, the supplies should be in the cabin behind the zombies."

Rubio moved the map and retracted his head, "But there are two five-star kings in the zombie group. They're not easy to deal with. What should we do?"

Ming was overjoyed. There were actually two five-star kings, which meant lots of money and experience. But he still remained calm and seemed a bit troubled, "It's indeed a bit tricky. But if we don't get the resources, hunger is the least of our worries. Without the mental and physical potions and repair scrolls, it would be very hard to deal with Ares."

"Yeah~ what should we do? Am I really going to die?"I think you should take a look at

Rubio was distressed. He hadn't anticipated that the five-star king zombies, which typically only showed up in shared resources, would be so commonplace in the cataclysm.

Ming patted the man in front of him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt. Let me deal with this dangerous situation. After I draw them away, you and Digennaro collect the supplies."

As he said this, he turned to look at the girl, and then said to both of them, "Remember, take as much as you can."

"Okay."

Digennaro and Rubio nodded at the same time.

Ming undid his collar button, put on the championship gold belt, picked up the shotgun, and rushed out of the street corner, firing at the zombies, "I'm here, come at me!"

"Hehe~"

The zombies turned their heads at the sound, looking towards the source, and roared.

Charge!!

Ming immediately rushed towards the opposite corner of the street.

"Hey~"Did he no longer love money?

Seeing Ming fearlessly lead the monsters away,  Rubio immediately respected him. Although the other party was doing it for money, he took good care of him, which was really touching.

"I'm really envious that you can have such a good brother."

"Well, you can be envious for a while, I'm going to get the supplies~"

Digennaro said, glancing at the small square.

"..."

Can't we just have a good conversation?

Forget it, supplies were paramount. He wants to get more supplies, which might offset some of the debt. Then he said, "The zombies are gone, let's go!"

"Okay!"

Digennaro immediately jumped out from the corner of the street, and shouted, "Lightspeed!"

Whoosh~

She turned into a golden light, crossed the square, and rushed into the house.

"..."

Rubio, having only taken a small step, froze on the spot. That was lightning fast!

Moments later, Digennaro emerged from the house, hauling a small cart. She straightened up and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Despite the exertion, she seemed thrilled.

"You..."

Rubio stared at the supplies piled high on the small cart, towering over the girl. He was stunned. She's really strong.

He quickly stepped forward, "Is there more inside?"

"There's a lot more."

"Great~"

Rubio rushed into the room. A moment later, he walked out with a dazed expression. He hadn't expected Digennaro's definition of 'plenty more' to be the single baguette he held.

You have a deep misunderstanding of the word 'a lot'. He wanted to ask the girl, "Did you go to school? Your teacher must've failed you~"

"Uhm..."

Rubio stuck the baguette into his waist and kindly asked, "Do you need help?"

"No need, I can handle my stuff. Thanks for your kindness~"

The girl said, holding the handle of the small cart with both hands, her arms straight and struggling to move forward. After two steps, she stopped and pointed at the armor puppet next to Rubio, "By the way, this is our family's puppet, right? Can you... please give it back to me... I need to use it~"

"..."

Yes,  it's your family's puppet. Absolutely right.
