Pete was taken aback, then looked at Stephen Chow standing to the side.
Stephen Chow had already taken out his baseball bat and was leaning against the side watching the show.
"I advise you not to lie. We have a high-tech lie detector here."
Stephen Chow pointed to the treasure floating in the air and said.
Of course, I made it up myself, and I didn't even know if Shibao had a lie detector function.
The treasure even gave a few electric shocks, which made Pete shudder.
"No! Brother and sister! I'm too weak to take this kind of shock!"
Pete immediately begged for mercy.
Meanwhile, Shi Bao whispered something in Zhou Xingxing's ear.
"That voltage would have knocked out an ordinary adult, but this kid is acting like nothing happened. I don't believe it."
"Then you can check if he's lying later. If he is, I'll beat him up. Luckily, this little brat can take a beating."
"The lie detection module requires additional unlocking. The basic version costs 10 credits per month, and the advanced version costs 30 credits per month."
When Stephen Chow heard this, his face darkened. So, besides looking for things, you need money for everything?
"Tch, look at you, so stingy. You haven't given me a single credit point yet."
"Screw you!"
"I don't have a sister, but you do. Go ahead and pay for yours."
"?"
While they were whispering amongst themselves, Pete had already succumbed to Qiong's tyranny.
"I'm sorry... I've actually been starving for three days. I was just thinking of getting something to sell for money to buy some food. I really didn't have any other intentions."
Pete knelt on the ground and said with a sincere expression.
"What could possibly be in a place like this?"
Qiong asked curiously, "This place is like a maze of sewers, and I can't see anything but garbage."
“On the ground, occasionally some pirate ships that have clashed will crash down, and I make a living by dismantling the ships and selling the parts.”
After saying that, seeing Qiong's thoughtful expression, Pete quickly raised his hand and swore an oath.
That's true, after all, Pam just shot down several ships.
"I really didn't lie. If I were lying...may I be struck by lightning!"
Just as Pete finished speaking, he heard Shibao Health's laughter and the crackling sound of electricity coming from the side.
"Haha, the lightning is coming!"
Pete's eyes went black upon hearing this. It turned out it was all a lie. So he was going to die anyway, huh?
Snapped!
Zhou Xingxing slapped Shi Bao on the back of the head. This guy's personality is too bad. Then, ignoring his cursing protests, he forcibly stuffed him into his spatial backpack and locked him in a dark room.
"You say you make a living by reselling parts? Then you must know where there are cities around here, right?"
Just when you're feeling sleepy, someone brings you a pillow; you're just wondering which way to go.
"Yes, I know. Are you two going? As compensation, I'll show you the way."
Upon hearing Stephen Chow's words, Pete immediately understood what he meant and quickly replied.
"Okay, lead the way!"
Qiong nodded. She had long been fed up with this dark, sewer-like environment. Who would want to live here except for rats?
Just as we were about to set off, we heard a rustling sound coming from above.
"Oh no...it's a ratman! Shh..."
Pete's eyes widened in terror, and he quickly gestured for the two of them to be quiet.
No sooner had Pete finished speaking than several black figures emerged from the large hole in the ceiling.
"squeak!"
With a sharp cry, several rats, each half a person tall, landed on the ground and surrounded the three of them, their eyes glowing red.
Chapter 95 New arrival
"Ruined..."
Pete's face was filled with despair.
One of these rat-men can take on three or four adults at the same time, let alone five of them.
Normally, as long as he keeps quiet, he won't attract these rat-men at all, but today he was captured and forgot this in his nervousness.
As a result, the rat-men followed the sound and surrounded the three of them.
"It's a pity he didn't get to have a proper meal before he died..."
That's what Pete was thinking.
"what!!!"
A scream was followed by the rapid cries of ratmen, the sounds of flesh colliding and blood splattering.
Pete was trembling all over; he guessed that the two men were probably already dead by now, unable to even let out a proper scream.
"Are you alright? You're shaking like a leaf."
After an unknown amount of time, Pete heard Stephen Chow's voice and then lowered his hands from his head.
"You...you're not dead?"
Pete was shocked.
"You're the one who's dead, you little brat, you want a beating, don't you?"
Stephen Chow put away his baseball bat, looking displeased. How could someone so young be so tactless?
Then, Stephen Chow reached out and patted the dome that was stuck to his back.
"The rat people are all dead, stop posting them, why are you still afraid of rats?"
"Rat is terrifying, okay! And such a big one at that! If you let March come, she would be paralyzed on the ground and wouldn't be able to stand up!"
Qiong retorted angrily.
Stephen Chow was exasperated. What was so scary about them? They looked quite big, but he wiped them all out with a single sweep.
Please, you're so weak.
"It's alright. I feel there should be quite a few ratmen on this planet. I believe you'll be able to overcome this weakness soon."
"I don't want to overcome it!"
Seeing the two chatting quite happily, Pete couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. It seemed he had met a master.
"Thank you both..."
Pete stood up, still somewhat shaken.
"It's alright, just take us to the nearest city."
Stephen Chow waved his hand, completely unconcerned.
All he wanted to do at that moment was find his carriage quickly and go back to marry... oh, no, to welcome Bronya.
Of course, 80% of the reasons for wanting to leave are that this planet really doesn't have much to offer.
"OK..."
Pete struggled to his feet, took two steps, and then swayed and was about to fall again.
Stephen Chow quickly grabbed Pete by the collar, afraid that he would fall again.
"Sorry... I'm so hungry, my legs are a little weak..."
Pete scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"Hey, you eat first, there's no rush."
Qiong took out two cakes and handed them to Pete.
"Thank you!"
Pete's eyes lit up when he saw the cake.
Without any hesitation, he took it and began to wolf it down.
Judging from the way it looked, even Stephen Chow was afraid this guy would choke to death.
"Cough cough..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pete started coughing.
Qiong handed her another bottle of water, which finally calmed her down.
After eating and drinking his fill, Pete was much more energetic than before.
"Thank you so much, older brothers and sisters! I will definitely repay you in the future!"
Pete said with gratitude.
"I'll remember that. Let's go to the nearest city now."
Qiong nodded, though she didn't think that this little kid who couldn't even afford to eat could be of any help.
After a winding and circuitous journey, we finally saw a glimmer of light at the entrance of a cave.
"It really does resemble the path to Sambo..."
Qiong emerged from what resembled a sewer grate and complained.
"Indeed, but this is much dirtier than that."
The two emerged, and a town exuding the aura of a wasteland appeared before them.
The houses in the city were almost all pieced together from sheet metal of inconsistent colors, giving it a slum-like feel.
