393: Chapter 177 Beautiful Spirit_3 393: Chapter 177 Beautiful Spirit_3 Anubis opened the small shoulder bag and rummaged through its contents.
“Pauper!”
Anubis muttered under his breath, but still tucked the bag away before looking at another young man.
“Did it just say ‘pauper’?”
Hua Yue Yu was astonished; this thod of passing the challenge was far from what she had expected!
“Have I passed?”
Kim Myungjin was overjoyed.
Give money?
This is my forte!
If there’s anything I have, it’s money.
Kim Myungjin heaved a sigh of relief.
“Am I…
am I safe now?”
The girl asked, her eyes pitifully fixed on Lin Baici.
“Yes!”
Lin Baici nodded, turning his attention to the young man targeted by the Wolf Head.
“This is my smartphone!”
Ever since smartphones could make paynts, this young man had gotten into the habit of only carrying one with him, so the most valuable thing he had was this very device.
“Are you joking with ?”
Anubis roared, his disdain for the smartphone apparent.
The young man had used it for so long that the phone was covered with scratches, and the screen was even a bit cracked; it was so battered that not even a junk collector would take it.
“I…
I…”
In desperation, seeing no other way to pass, the young man turned to the crowd: “Can anyone lend so money?
I’ll pay you back imdiately once I get out of here!”
No one responded.
First, no one knew whether lending money to this young man would draw the monster’s attention to themselves, and second, who could be sure that they had enough money for their own needs?
Most people, it should be said, weren’t in the habit of carrying their wallets with them anymore.
Now they all worried.
Damn it!
What’s this about needing a pure body and a beautiful soul?
It’s all bullshit!
Just excuses to ask for money.
With this in mind, everyone looked towards Lin Baici, as it appeared he had guessed correctly once again.
God Hunter, terrifying indeed.
“Please, can soone lend so money?” the young man begged desperately.
“Judging by its clothing and the worn condition of this so-called smartphone, it must be pretty poor, right?”
The Scorpion Queen advised Lin Baici, “Don’t lend it anything; it definitely won’t be able to pay you back.”
“…”
Kim Myungjin felt sorry for the young man, even the monster thought he was a lost cause.
[The fare cannot be too little, for at the final mont, the ten people who have given the least will be left behind on the Solar Ship!]
[Nor can the fare be too much; otherwise, this greedy monster will fixate on you, and it will kill to take your money!]
Eater God comnted.
Lin Baici wanted to help this young man since his Black Tripod Bowl held many valuable items, but he gave up on the idea after hearing this.
It would only bring trouble upon himself.
Xia Hongyao opened her backpack, intending to lend the young man so money.
“Don’t help!”
Lin Baici stopped her.
“Exactly, we don’t even know if we have enough for ourselves!”
Hua Yue Yu was frustrated; had she known they would encounter such a greedy creature, she should have brought more valuable items with her today.
“That’s not the reason.
Helping others will cause problems!”
Lin Baici explained quietly, “When you give it sothing, look at what others are giving and stay in the middle; don’t ever give too much!”
Anubis had no patience to wait for the young man to borrow money.
It wanted to set an example, and this man was the perfect opportunity.
So, it tapped its scepter.
Thud!
The jackals imdiately rushed towards the young man.
Seeing this, the young man turned and ran, but how could he possibly outrun the four-legged jackals?
Within ten ters, they caught up with him.
The jackals began to tear him apart.
“Help!
Help!”
The young man cried out a few tis before a jackal bit his throat, silencing him.
In less than a minute, his body was torn to shreds by the jackals, and his blood spilled all over the ground.
Anubis then turned its gaze towards a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
He imdiately offered all he could.
“This belt is Hermès, very expensive!”
The middle-aged man explained.
In fact, it was a fake, but he thought the creature wouldn’t understand.
Anubis was very pleased with the human’s attitude.
After the jackals brought the fare, it picked up the belt and looked at it seriously before fastening it around its waist.
“…”
The crowd didn’t know what to say.
The situation was clear now—if you paid, you could live.
So everyone started to take off what they had on them and offered it to the creature.
And so, being more thoughtful and worried about giving too little and becoming a target, didn’t even leave their clothes on.
A few won were among them, stripping down to their underwear.
“What the hell, does it have to be like this?”
Cai Wenqi cursed.
As a girl from an ordinary family, how much money could she have?
Besides her phone, which she had bought during the holidays, the most expensive item among her possessions was a lipstick worth a hundred and fifty yuan, and it was a gift from soone else.
“Wonder if this will be enough to satisfy that creature’s appetite?”
Cai Wenqi was still worrying when she felt soone put sothing into her hand.
She quickly looked down.
It was Lin Baici, passing her a phone.
“Thank you!”
Cai Wenqi was moved.
“Shh!”
Lin Baici signaled Cai Wenqi to keep quiet.
Everyone had paid their fare.
Hua Yue Yu offered a phone, a bunch of makeup, a GoPro sports cara, an iPad.
Kim Myungjin did not have that many small items, her necklace alone was worth several million, and there was also her brand-na watch, which was still on Lin Baici’s wrist.
Lin Baici was worried that Kim Myungjin being too ostentatious would make her a target for Anubis, but the problem was that Kim Myungjin really had nothing cheap.
Xia Hongyao’s offerings were common, nothing noteworthy.
Anubis looked at the pile of items in front of it and nodded, “I see your beautiful spirit, but…”
Anubis lifted its head, scanning the crowd, “There are a few among you who do not respect .
There are flaws in their spirits!”
The crowd panicked.
What did this an?
Didn’t they pass the test?
Anubis began to call out nas, “You, you, you… you are not worthy of sailing on my ship!”
In total, ten people were nad.
Gu Qingqiu had excellent mory and observation skills; she knew that the offerings of these ten people had the lowest value.
“Will you jump off the ship yourselves, or shall the jackals tear you to pieces?”
Anubis asked.
The ten unlucky ones pointed at had looks of despair.
Being torn apart by jackals ant certain death.
They would rather jump into the river and take their chances!
The surface of the river was calm, and the Solar Ship wasn’t far from the shore; they might be able to swim to safety.
“It seems that when it said it would only take a hundred people, it was just a bluff.
If you pay, you can board this ship!”
Xia Red dicine sighed, knowing he couldn’t save these ten people.
“Jump off the ship!”
