《The Adventure of Holy Beast Bai Xiaoli》C27. Two Bowls of Meat Are Enough for Trafficking You
Advertisement
In the dormitory of Bai Xiaoli.
Long Lan starts his dream, “Xiaoli, Xiaoli, can you tell me, since we’re all weak in our team, if it’s possible, can I also be a regular?”
Bai Xiaoli ponders for a moment, “Compared with others, you’re the weakest one.”
Long Lan: “…”
Long Lan has his heart broken into pieces.
Long Lan: “Then who is the strongest?”
Bai Xiaoli stuffs the meat in his mouth, “Cang Yan is the strongest.”
“Puhha-ha-ha, are you joking, the quality of Captain Cang Yan is of one star, same with mine.”
Long Lan has an inexplicable sense of pride. Finally he gets rid of inferiority caused by his quality of one star. Look at Captain Cang Yan, what’s wrong with the quality of one star? One star can also be captain, OK?
Bai Xiaoli: “He has one star, but he can easily knock ten of you down with one hand.”
Long Lan: “Ho—”
Long Lan is frightened to almost get heart attack.
Long Lan: “How do you know that?”
Bai Xiaoli: “I see it with my eyes.”
Long Lan: “…”
Reaching out and touching, Bai Xiaoli feels the bag empty. He picks it up and finds it really empty. He runs back to his bedroom and searches for a while. Suddenly, he cries out, “I’m out of dried meat!”
Long Lan is taken aback, um…he’s running out of money in these days and forgets to buy dried meat for Bai Xiaoli.
“I want meat I want meat I want meat…”
“OK, OK, all right, stop, stop, and stop.” Long Lan hastily surrenders, “Xiaoli, can we have a small talk?”
Bai Xiaoli: “I want to eat meat!”
Long Lan suddenly turns to a despaired face. This subject is out of question. It’s blocked up by the words of Bai Xiaoli.

“Xiaoli, I have to confess to you. My pocket money of this month has already run out. You can only wait next month to eat meat. Now there’s only a little money remained in my meal card. Only enough to maintain our meals in this month.”
Because of back-to-school season, there’re many things need to spend money on in the first month of school, not to mention bearing two persons’ expenses. Long Lan really runs out of money.
Bai Xiaoli calculates the dates very seriously, and then goes crazy, “This is just the beginning of the month; if waiting to next month, I’ll be starved to die.”
Long Lan says with a long face, “You’ll not starve to death. We can economize. Just with the money in the meal card, we can hold one month.”
Bai Xiaoli says with dead fishy eyes, “You’re so poor.”
Long Lan instantly goes ballistic, “Why am I so poor? My piggy bank, my pocket money, all is eaten up by you!”
Bai Xiaoli considers for a long time and finally makes a decision, “I have to make money.”
Long Lan doesn’t care, “You go out now, then you will be trafficked in a second. To abduct you needs only two bowls of meat.”
Bai Xiaoli keeps his dead fishy eyes and returns to his room in silence for thinking about how to have money, a serious question for a beast.
This question lasts until the next day’s class.
On the third day from the beginning of the class, the teacher finally meets the legendary student in the class who is specially recruited with the score of 30 points. But this specially recruited student, who is fired up within only a few days since the term starts, is now lying on the table like a flat dead fish.

The teacher pushes up his glasses, his eyes sparkling.
“Bai Xiaoli, you answer this question.”
Bai Xiaoli looks up, “What’s the question?”
The teacher repeats the question with his corner of eyes twitching.
“It’s already 119 years since the Dark Age has passed. That’s the end of the world for the whole human being. The spaces collided with each other, the continental plates were regrouped, the creatures from other spaces invaded the Earth, and the mysterious energy flowed into the Earth. The original ecological balance of the Earth was destroyed. The animals and the plants mutated. Under the invasion of the mutants, and the alien races, human nearly died out.”
“However, human survived toughly at last. And we have found the secret of runes in the combat, learnt progressively to use the mysterious star power. We know how to practice by dint of star power and how to battle by virtue of power of rune. Finally, in the bloody slaughter, human race regained their sovereignty.”
“Bai Xiaoli, what’s the meaning of the appearance of runes for human development?”
Once hearing runes, Bai Xiaoli’s slobber almost runs down. Since he comes to this world, he has only eaten one debris of rune till now. It’s still bitten off from the bottom of the little rhinoceros.
Long Lan breaks into a cold sweat. He turns the pages quickly and prepares to prompt Bai Xiaoli.
Before finding the answer, he hears Bai Xiaoli say, “Delicious.”Tragedy Caused by Hunger

Seeker
The Gods are dead As they bled dry, so did the magic which gave them birth. In the new era of technology, its pathetic remnants must hide in the shadows or be locked away. In the ancient era of magic two beings often stood out: Galileo, an immortal scholar obsessed with knowledge and Angelica, the most loyal servant of the greatest among the now dead Gods. But why are they worthy of mention? Because after millennia of isolation, the two emerge in the new world beyond their reckoning. The entire story is told from the third person, however, each chapter will be told from the perspective of only one of the characters. This will be signified by the first letter of their names after the chapter number to avoid confusion. I submitted this fiction as a [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] as well as a participant in National Novel Writing Month. The original challenge had been to finish this entire faction within the month of November reaching the 55.5k word minimum. This goal had been achieved. I do not own the cover picture
