Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 746 - 520 Tiger People Brothers_2

The alley behind them was somehow filled with ice crystal needles exuding a chilling aura, each one as fine as a cow's hair. Kota had no doubt that if those needles were to be fired in a volley, they could turn them into the Thorn Race.

"Gulp..."

Tiger-man Kota swallowed hard: "Calm down! Let's talk this out. Killing in the Outer City is a serious crime. If you kill us, it won't end well for you either!"

"Is that so?"

Li Zheng controlled the needles, making them float uncertainly in the air. From his eyes, Kota could see a desire to give it a try.

"Wait!!!"

Kota saw Li Zheng's fingers showing signs of loosening, and he hurriedly shouted, "I'll compensate you! We'll compensate you!"

How dull.

Li Zheng smirked: "With such courage, you dare to be robbers?"

"Just trying to make a living with my brothers..." Kota wiped his cold sweat: "There's no need to lose our lives over a bit of profit, right?"

If they truly had a spirit of martyrdom, they wouldn't bother being robbers at all.

They could have long gone to the Task Hall to take on the highly risky, but well-rewarded terminal tasks.

Li Zheng controlled the needles to sway in front of him, finding that after his spiritual power increased once more, controlling these things became more and more handy, almost like an extension of his own body, which made him want to play with them a bit more.

But this action scared Kota badly, the colorful tiger head was about to turn black and white, a vivid portrayal of what it means to be ashen-faced.

"Tell me, what compensation can you offer?" Li Zheng didn't want to be too aggressive; after all, he had just entered the Outer City and did not fully understand the rules, unaware of the consequences that might follow a murder.

If this was in the so-called Wilderness, the three tiger-men would have already been corpses.

Of course, whether there were such weaklings in the Wilderness was another question.

"White Crystal Coins! We are willing to offer... ten, no, twenty White Crystal Coins each as compensation for offending you!" Kota's face was pained.

Since the end of the last player's cycle, the three brothers had been living off their savings, and they just hit a wall on their first job.

"Big brother, twenty each, neither the third brother nor I can afford it." The companion behind Kota whispered to him.

His words only enraged Kota more, and he turned around and slapped him hard: "I told you so many times not to go to places like the casino, but you wouldn't listen!

Now look, you don't even have money to save your life. I wonder how you'll manage this!

I'm not going to help you anymore. If you can't pay, tell him yourself!"

This slap carried anger, leaving the shorter tiger-man's face swollen, even loosening a fang.

This scene left Li Zheng speechless, a timid exterior with a harsh interior indeed.

"And you! Spending all your money on women when you drink all night? Does that please you?" Seeing the puzzled look on the third brother's face, who didn't grasp the seriousness, Kota's anger flared up again, scolding him angrily. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The third tiger brother was half a head taller than the second, with a broad and stout build, indicating a good quality diet.

After the scolding, tears welled up in the tiger eyes of the third brother, who mumbled piteously: "But Ah Hua said she liked me and asked me to visit her more..."

Kota was trembling with anger: "You! You'll end up dead because of a woman someday!"

"No! I will only die for Ah Hua!" the third brother argued stubbornly.

"Is that so, you still argue?" Kota's tiger eyes widened, and he grabbed the second brother, ready to hit the third.

Seeing the three tiger-men on the verge of infighting, Li Zheng coughed: "If you're going to argue, can you pay me first? I'm in a hurry."

The three tiger-men wore rudimentary translation devices, and Li Zheng had learned from Prelis' Eye that this was the most basic and lousy translation tool, capable of storing only three languages. If faced with a communication partner whose language isn't stored, you would need to go to designated places for language input.

Incidentally, the translation tool that Yakumo mentioned, which sells for a thousand White Crystal Coins, is this very one. If you want something more advanced... you'll have to pay extra!

Only then did the three tiger-men remember the greater danger they faced, quickly shutting their mouths and not daring to argue further.

"Sir..." Kota was in a tough spot: "My two brothers don't have that much savings, they can't pay the compensation, so..."

"So what?" Li Zheng looked at him sideways.

"So can we owe you first?" Kota scratched his cheek with a thick tiger paw, feeling utterly ashamed.

To propose twenty White Crystal Coins each as compensation and then ask to owe it, anyone would find it embarrassing.

"Owe it?!"

Li Zheng chuckled in annoyance: "I've been doing business for so long, and no one has ever owed me money!"

He looked up and down at the three tiger-men, pondering for a moment before saying: "How about this, each of you gives me ten White Crystal Coins, and then assist me in completing a task. If you perform well, I'll let you go, how's that?"

Upon hearing they only needed to pay ten coins, Kota felt a bit relieved, but the following condition perplexed him: "Complete a task? The three of us only have Extraordinary Level strength. If even you can't complete it, we would just be going to our deaths..."
