Chapter 221 Tickets
Verafin.
The Velafine sandstorm had passed, and people came out of their houses. The sandstorm brought not only a halt to life, but also endless yellow sand.
The yellow sand that was everywhere on the streets and rooftops made the city's residents frown. Although they were annoyed, they quickly got to work on cleaning it up.
It took almost two days for the entire city of Verafine to be completely transformed. People were immersed in a joy of revival, but they were not too excited because they were too tired and needed to rest for a while. There was also a grand event to be held in two days.
"Rifen! Slow down, wait for me!"
A freckled boy was running fast, carrying a bucket of popular children's snacks in his arms. In his hurried running, one of the snacks even fell out.
Ta~
Upon seeing this, Fitu quickly stopped, picked up the snack, and then ran towards the red-nosed boy named Riffen.
"Hurry up, it's about to start!"
"Hmm~ Here it comes!"
Feto ran over to Ruifen's side, chewing on a snack he had just picked up from the ground.
The two were going to do something big today, something they had been planning for a long time, something that had even cost them all their pocket money. And this thing, of course, was...
"Wait a moment, gentlemen. Although I really don't want to stop you, where are your tickets?"
At the entrance of the Cactus Arena, a woman in uniform stopped two boys with a smile on her face. Looking at the two little guys whose mouths were stuffed with snacks, she couldn't help but tease them.
Here you go!
After carefully confirming that the woman was a ticket collector, Red-Nosed Ruifen quickly reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out two crumpled tickets.
"Hmm~ It does look very similar, but it's been crumpled up like this, how can I be sure this is our ticket?"
"Hey! You're not going to deny it, are you? Look again, I clearly bought this from you!"
"Hmm? Really? I can't quite remember."
"How about you two handsome young men give me a kiss? Maybe then I'll remember... Hehe..."
Seeing the woman's wicked grin, the two boys looked angry. But after a while, perhaps realizing that the stalemate was fruitless, the leader, Red-Nosed Ruifen, hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Then close your eyes, and we'll kiss you."
"Do these two gentlemen get shy?"
The staff member jokingly closed her eyes, then bent her body slightly, as if anticipating something.
However, after a long time, she still didn't receive a kiss, so she opened her eyes in confusion, but there was no trace of the two little devils, only two crumpled tickets.
The young lady suddenly turned around and saw two figures running frantically toward the entrance.
"Two little devils..."
She could tell whether the tickets were real or fake, of course. She did this just to amuse them, since her job was really too boring.
"Ah~ I really want to go in and watch the game too~"
She wailed dejectedly, saying that everyone else could go in and enjoy the exciting matches, but she had to stay here and miserably collect tickets.
"Damn it! I just want to run away..."
"Um... before that, could you please take my ticket?"
anyone?
Upon hearing the sound, she immediately snapped out of her gloomy mood and raised her head.
"Sorry, I was just kidding."
Who would have thought? It's almost started, and there are still people who haven't entered yet?
After apologizing, she looked directly at the man in front of her. He was an obese man, not very tall, with a plump face and a pair of submerged eyes.
"It's okay, this is my ticket."
Faced with the obese man's smiling eyes, she chose not to engage in much conversation with him; he preferred younger women to this type.
After quickly putting the man inside, the young lady began to space out again. Lost in thought, her mind drifted back to today's competition, and an idea suddenly popped into her head...
Who will win?
................
"This is it, Fito!"
Ruifen looked left and right and found that this was the only position where she could clearly see the situation in the arena. Although it was in a corner, it was undoubtedly the best position at the moment.
Sigh, it's all their fault for lingering at the door for so long, otherwise they could have gotten a better spot.
After choosing their seats, the two boys sat down side by side, placing their snack buckets in the middle so they could easily grab them whenever they wanted.
It's worth mentioning that half of the snacks in the bucket had already been eaten on their way here, so they now have to eat them sparingly.
“It’s truly spectacular.”
Looking at the huge crowd, Fito couldn't help but show an expression of amazement.
"Hmph! Never seen anything like it before, have you? This is the war of gods!"
Ruifen, standing nearby, let out a smug hum. It was his first time here too, but that didn't stop him from showing a proud expression.
At the same moment, the second son of the Castor family also stepped onto the main stage and began to deliver a speech.
These were, of course, just polite official pleasantries. The child wasn't interested in them and didn't listen at all. He was just swinging his legs boredly, looking forward to the battle to come.
"Why, why! I'm a contestant! Why are you stopping me from participating! Why did you drag me here?"
Just then, a loud argument broke out nearby, and the two children looked over curiously.
It was an old man being pulled along by two staff members. He had a large head and a small body, and like other old men, he had a hunchback. He wasn't good-looking, and his face even looked somewhat inhuman.
This seemingly thin and small old man was extremely energetic. When faced with the pulling and tugging of two tall men, he was able to fight back by throwing a tantrum.
"Sir, please understand us. Even if you are a contestant, you can't have two people on stage at the same time."
"I don't care, I don't care, I'm going up with my son! I'm so old, how dare you separate me from my son?!"
These kinds of elderly people who throw tantrums are often the most difficult to deal with, and even two strong staff members become somewhat helpless.
"What happened on the side in charge of the competition? How was he allowed in?"
"I don't know either. Anyway, we can't let him go up there. If he goes up and causes trouble, neither of us will be able to work anymore!"
Looking at the elderly man entangled with the staff, Ruifen couldn't help but sigh:
"He looks just like Grandpa Trust..."
"Yeah, I even saw Grandpa Trust pretend to be injured and swindle money from a guy from out of town last time..."
"Forget it, I'm not watching anymore. My mom told me to stay away from these scoundrels..."
After watching for a while and eating some melon seeds, the two children turned their attention back to the center of the field. Compared to these things, they were still more interested in the upcoming match.
