Chapter 99 - Complete Random Inequivalant Exchange
When it was Little Hus’ turn, the husky eyes were big and wide as he stared at the Pool Deity. “I’m not giving anything!”
The Pool Deity smiled. “Lord Hus, if it’s laid, it’s played. You wouldn’t want us to look down on you, would you?”
Little Hus did not care about others’ opinions of him. His gaze started to drift away and it looked like he was trying to run. Of course, aside from fleeing, he did not forget to say, “I don’t have anything left. I’ve lost everything!”
The Pool Deity said with a smile, “Lord Hus, you might have lost a piece of chocolate and a bag of dog food, but you still have another piece of chocolate, two bags of chips, a bag of cookies, another bag of dog food and…a shaver in your den.”
Little Hus instantly looked gloomy. Having someone that could read his mind around him did not feel good.
Su Yang finally understood what was going on: the little monsters were gambling.
He cleared his throat to announce his arrival before he said, “What are you guys doing?”
Fortunately, the bag of chips was something he had confiscated from the ‘illegal gambling session’.
Su Yang took the basin with the seahorse out and gave it to Deeny.
‘Maybe a girl might be interested in this…I think…’
The next day, a Sunday morning, Su Yang tossed Gru’s carton of milk into the swimming pool.
A moment later, Pool appeared with another seahorse and a rotten apple.
Su Yang asked, “Why another seahorse?”
The Pool Deity said, “My lord, I don’t know. It’s completely random~”
Su Yang had no choice but to pick the seahorse.
On Monday morning, Su Yang woke up extra earlier and tossed a set of test papers that he had written into the swimming pool. However, Pool came up with the options of a seahorse and…a seahorse.
This time around, Pool offered him two seahorses of different sizes.
Veins popped up on Su Yang’s forehead. “Don’t tell me this is completely random as well…”
The Pool Deity almost cried as he explained, “It really is completely random…”
Su Yang did not believe him. He blacklisted him and grouped him together with Little Hus as the little monsters that he should not believe and must keep an eye on.
The weekend flew by in the blink of an eye. Other than the two Random Points that he had gotten from Tang Xiaomi, Su Yang also got a total of three seahorses in different sizes.
The three seahorses synchronized their wriggling in the basin and the movements really made them look like a family.
Tang Xiaomi’s mission also ended over the weekend. Su Yang got a total of five Random Points from Tang Xiaomi. He had used three to save himself from the midterms and he planned to keep the remaining two for emergencies.
After breakfast, Su Yang put Deeny in charge of the seahorses before he went out of the virtual space.
He realized that it was drizzling outside when he reached his basement. Shanghai had slowly entered its hottest and most humid season throughout the year.
Su Yang had rented a basement because of the cheap rent and it had been spring back then, so it had not been as humid and hot. He finally knew why the basement rent was so cheap: the intense humidity.
The moment he got out of his virtual space, he felt like he was covered in a layer of mist. Fortunately, he now spent most of his time in the virtual space, hence it was not a big problem.
If he did not have the virtual space, staying in a humid basement for a long time would probably affect his health.
When he was on campus, Su Yang realized that all the students were talking about the campus singing competition. He did not know when the discussion started, but it seemed like the competition had become an important event for Shanghai University.
No one recognized him anymore along the way, Su Yang could not help but feel like a has-been.
He sighed as he walked towards the lecture building, but before he even made it there, he saw his other lecturer, Old Zhou who was surprisingly walking out of the campus.
‘Going out of campus early in the morning? Something’s up.’
