Chapter 328 Blood for Money
Kex slightly raised his head and looked at the thing the human-faced fish had thrown in front of him.
It was a small golden knife, engraved with exquisite patterns, and it looked like it was no ordinary object.
Kex picked up the knife, and at that moment, the seductive voice of the human-faced fish also came.
"If you cut a gash in your body, the blood will turn into coins."
"Remember, only human blood will work... After all... you need human currency..."
A slit was opened... blood turned into coins... human blood... that's not it!
"this......."
"Alright, that's enough. I need to rest. You may leave."
Kex quietly repeated what the human-faced fish had said, but when he realized what it meant, he was shocked. Just as he was about to say something, the human-faced fish suddenly interrupted him in an unquestionable tone.
Yes...yes.
Kex naturally dared not offend the gods. Seeing the human-faced fish driving him away, he could only clutch the small golden knife and slink away from the secret chamber.
Hehehe!
In a daze, Kex seemed to hear two wicked laughs. He turned around sharply, but found nothing.
Under the night sky, the originally shining stars seemed to have dimmed a bit.
...............
Pfft!
The golden knife gently sliced open the arm, and hot blood flowed from the wound. As the blood flowed onto the table, the red blood quickly transformed into coins, which gleamed brightly before Kex's eyes.
Hu~hu~
Kex's breathing became rapid, whether from the pain of his wound or the impact of the blood.
"Kex?"
A familiar female voice came from behind him. Kex quickly put away the knife on the table and wiped the blood off his sleeve.
Click~
The door was suddenly pushed open, and the beautiful woman standing in front of Kex was his wife.
"what are you doing?"
"N-nothing...it's nothing..."
Kex swallowed his dry throat, and quietly put his injured hand behind his back.
"Did you forget to pack something for the child?"
The wife looked at her husband's seemingly evasive manner, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Oh! I really forgot. Please apologize to Annie for me. I'll go out and buy it for her in a bit. No, I'll go out and buy it for her now."
Kex seemed unwilling to continue the conversation, so he quickly put on his coat and went out the door.
"Slower!"
......................
"This toy costs 1200 Berries."
"Okay, get it for me."
Amidst the shocked gazes of those around him, Kex handed a large bag of Berries to the shop owner.
His face was pale, and his voice was even hoarser than when he was inside the house; he looked as if he were ill.
Kex ignored the surprised looks from those around him, simply packed up the special toy from the Gear Kingdom, and then headed home.
He walked slowly, as if he were deep in thought.
call!
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, lifting his sleeve and revealing a scarred arm.
Human greed is boundless.
Greed grows from nothing to something, and it's unstoppable.
With a way to make money so quickly, how could one resist using it?
but......
Kex looked at his arm, which was in terrible shape, and wondered if it could even cast the fishing net.
His blood is limited, or rather, his blood alone is not enough for his family to achieve upward social mobility.
That's right, Kex wants to transcend class!
He didn't want to be an ordinary fisherman anymore; he wanted to be a real rich man, one of those wealthy people who could squander money at will.
"I'll go and pray to the gods later..."
Kex knew that his own blood wouldn't be enough, but he couldn't harm his own children and wife, and he never even considered hurting others.
So he could only place his hopes on that omnipotent red fish... no... the god.
...............
crunch~
The cellar door opened again, and Kex emerged, covered in soot.
got rejected.
The unyielding tone echoed in his ears, and Kex sighed helplessly.
Take it slow... Looks like I need to eat more blood-nourishing foods lately...
Kex returned empty-handed, and just as he was about to head home, several figures suddenly approached him.
"Hello! Kex! What are you doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
The men looked like thugs, and Kex immediately recognized them as notorious local hooligans.
"What...what do you want to do?"
Seeing the men's ill-intentioned gazes, Kex became a little nervous. The cellar was not far behind him, and he didn't want this secret to be exposed.
"What are you doing...? We've been watching you acting suspiciously, what are you up to...? Tell us! Are you hiding some method to obtain treasure?!"
The group had their eyes on Kex for a while. After seeing him tinkering around here yesterday, he immediately bought an expensive toy today.
It's hard not to suspect something fishy is going on here.
"No, there is no such place."
Kex was just an ordinary, law-abiding civilian, and he was naturally at a disadvantage against these thugs. Coupled with the fact that he seemed to be hiding something, he appeared even more suspicious...
"No? We don't believe you! What are you holding in your hand? Let us see!"
The thugs didn't believe this story. They had seen firsthand how successful Keke had been lately, and as they talked, they started shoving each other.
"What are you doing?! Let me go! Let me go!!!"
"Just tell me your secret to being rich! That way you'll avoid getting a beating."
Kex was no match for the group and was quickly pushed to the ground. When one of them began to grope him, he panicked and, in a daze, his right hand uncontrollably reached for the golden knife at his waist.
Phew! ! !
The knife was unexpectedly sharp, piercing through easily like a cotton ball. Blood flowed down the wound, turning into a blinding flash of Pele.
"What...what are you doing...?"
The others were also stunned when they saw the gushing blood and their deceased companion.
How...did he kill someone?
At this moment, Kex also became somewhat dazed. Looking at the coins formed from the blood, he was stunned for a moment.
This is.......
money.
