“But, I couldn’t stand it! If I wouldn’t at least do something, how could I be worthy of my good granddaughter? I would die with an everlasting regret! So I grabbed the machete in my house. Taking advantage of when he came out drunk from a brothel, I rushed up. I wanted to chop him into thousands of pieces! I wanted him to pay for my granddaughter with his life!”

“In the end… Before I could even touch a corner of his clothes, I was caught by his henchmen, then… I was locked up in here. It’s been one day and one night already… Cough cough…”

As Uncle Wu finished talking, because he was too agitated, he began to cough rather uncomfortably.

Bai Yunfei had been silent all along. He could not think of any words capable of comforting the old man so he had to catch his slightly quivering hands, pat his back and say in a concerned manner: “Don’t be too agitated, Uncle Wu. This isn’t good for your body. That kind of person is lower than an animal. One day he will be punished properly…”

Uncle Wu looked at Yunfei in a somewhat stupefied manner. Only after a long time did he say: “Alas… My Xiao Yu’er often held my hands and patted my back for me then reproached me for being too agitated like this as well… Young fellow, I still haven’t asked your name.”

“I’m Bai Yunfei. You can just call me Yunfei.”

“Um, Yunfei, I can tell that you’re a good boy… Now there are fewer and fewer people like you. People nowadays, whether outwardly or inwardly, only care about themselves. They do anything, regardless of the life and death of other people. They, have even thrown away human nature. A person should live his life with a clear conscience…” As Uncle Wu finished talking, seeing that Bai Yunfei was looking at him in a somewhat stupefied manner, he asked: “What’s wrong? You don’t agree with what I said?”

“No, I was just thinking of my departed grandpa. He… also said the same words before.”

Right at this moment, several people appeared outside the door of the cell. They put a bucket of steamed buns and a bucket of water outside the door then said loudly to the people inside: “Hey you people! Come here and eat! You must eat as much as you need, so that in a while you’ll have strength to risk your lives!”

Because there were really quite a few steamed buns in that bucket, only when those ten or so people in front them had already eaten their fill did Uncle Wu stand up and get some. He also scooped water with a bowl. He then returned to Bai Yunfei’s side, handed him the food and said: “Are you hungry? Let’s eat. Only after eating our fill do we have strength to live on.”

Bai Yunfei ate steamed buns while talking with Uncle Wu in a low voice. Seeing the kind look in Uncle Wu’s eyes, he felt a slight tremble in his heart. Since his grandfather’s death, he seemed to have never experienced this kind of feeling again — this kind of ‘warm’ feeling.

After eating several steamed buns and talking a little more, Uncle Wu seemed to be tired. He then leaned on the wall to rest. Bai Yunfei, however, continued to shrink into the corner. Only now did he have time to recall what had happened the day before.

“How did all the injuries on my body disappear?”Only now did Yunfei discover that all those injuries caused by the beating yesterday were unexpectedly gone!His body did not feel uncomfortable in the least either.

“Yesterday evening… it seemed I passed out? Why? Right! Upgrade… The brick!”

Thinking about this, Yunfei subconsciously reached his hand towards the area beside him. Unexpectedly he really touched an object with clear edges and corners — it was none other than that brick, which he had clung on when he had passed out the evening before!

“When you were taken to this place yesterday evening, you were holding this brick tightly in your hand… Could it be it has some important meaning?”Uncle Wu asked doubtfully as he saw him pick up the brick.

“Er… Nope, this is the brick I put under a leg of my bed…”Yunfei did not know how to explain either. Luckily, seeing him get tongue-tied in a stupefied manner, Uncle Wu did not mind. He gave a few laughs and did not ask him again.

Yunfei lowered his head and looked at the brick in his hand:

“Item grade: Normal.”

“Item upgrade level: +10.”

“Damage: 9”

“Additional damage: 16”

“+10 Additional effect: Attacks have a 1% chance of stunning the target for a maximum of 3 seconds (when attacking the head, the chance of stunning increases to 5%).”

“Upgrade requirement: 12 soulforce.”

“Sure enough, everything that happened yesterday evening was real…”

“+10 Additional effect? Stun? What does this mean? If I beat someone with this brick, of course I can stun him. Why is there still a chance of several percent?”

“Let’s upgrade it again and see?”

But he abandoned this idea soon afterwards. Yesterday evening, it seemed he had lost consciousness only because of upgrading this brick. So, how could he dare to casually upgrade it in this place today?

Holding the brick, Bai Yunfei was lost in thought. After an indefinitely long time, he was suddenly woken up with start by a series of noises.

He turned around and saw that that circle of luxurious seats outside were already filled with people dressed in luxurious clothes. One could tell at first sight that they were plutocrats and aristocrats. All of them had an excited, expectant expression. They were talking with each other in a low voice. Some people also gesticulated at the captives in here while talking with the people around them.

“Everybody! Welcome to the Coliseum!”

Suddenly, a resounding voice rang out in the field. Those muttering plutocrats and aristocrats temporarily stopped talking, but the expressions on their faces became even more excited, even to the point of looking somewhat… crazy.

“Those lowly lives will struggle for survival and fight each other like wild animals! This is the exciting and bloody Coliseum! Let us enjoy today’s visual feast!”
