Chapter 52 Hanako's Plea for Mercy
Chapter 52 Hanako's Plea for Mercy
So when Zhu Lan and Jun Sha'en suddenly attacked him, even though they broke Xuan Mingtian's teeth, he could only cover his mouth and swallow it.
After ending his conversation with Xiaolan, Xuanmingtian knew the time was right; it was time to probe for information about Xiaozhi's father.
"By the way, Aunt Hanako, when is Satoshi's dad coming back? I haven't seen him yet," Xuan Mingtian said, feigning innocence.
Upon hearing this, everyone else listened intently, especially Ran, who almost leaned into Hanako's arms. After all, she and Hanako had known each other for half a month, and she still didn't know who Satoshi's father was.
“He said he’ll be back in Zhenxin Town in about a month, and I’ll introduce you to him then,” Hanako replied.
Xuan Mingtian tried to get some more information and said, "Aunt Hanako, what is that uncle's surname? And from what I've observed, I haven't seen him come back to see you since you gave birth to Xiaozhi."
As Xuan Mingtian spoke, Xiao Lan nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Hanako said with a melancholy expression, "Tian, Ash's father's surname is Aya. He took one look at Ash when he was born and then left."
Xuan Mingtian said angrily, "What? He only came back for a quick look and then left? How could he do that, leaving you alone at home after you just gave birth? It's outrageous of him."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was furious and wanted to beat up the guy surnamed Ya.
"Xiaotian, don't say that. He went on his journey to pursue his dreams, but he will come back to see us from time to time." Hanako replied with a troubled expression.
"It's utterly absurd. He actually abandoned you right after you gave birth for his dream, and he even said he'd come back to see you often. I bet that'll be in a month. What will others think of him when he's a little older? Who will protect him if he gets bullied by other kids? Will you protect him?"
Xuan Mingtian's impassioned words successfully stirred up everyone's anger towards Xiao Zhi's father, leaving Hanako speechless.
Because Xuan Mingtian knew that this was a real world, a world with flesh and blood, a world where the strong prey on the weak, unlike the idealized things in anime in his previous life. It was like a caterpillar, which could be eaten if one was not careful.
Xuan Mingtian reiterated his ultimate goal for this trip: "He's absolutely despicable. I'm going to break his legs so he can only stay at home with Aunt Huazi."
When Hanako heard that her husband's legs had been broken, she immediately cried and said, "Xiaotian, please don't break his legs. Traveling is his dream, and I supported him in the beginning. Please don't do this."
Seeing that Hanako had already started crying and was even about to kneel down, Xuan Mingtian rushed forward and helped her up.
"Okay, okay, Aunt Hanako, I promise I won't break his legs. If I do, I curse the author to become a gigolo. Don't cry yet. Why are you kneeling down all the time? Sit down properly."
Xuan Mingtian quickly comforted Hanako. He hadn't expected Hanako to be so affectionate towards that guy surnamed Ya. Well then, let's just leave him be and wait for Satoshi to embark on his journey to find his father.
"Xiao Tian, thank you."
Hanako's words contained Xuan Mingtian's promise to her, as well as her understanding of her husband. Indeed, humans are the most devoted creatures.
After Hanako recovered, Jun Shaen took her away to continue shopping. In doing so, Jun Shaen took another black card from Xuan Mingtian, saying it was punishment for making Hanako cry. Fortunately, it was her mother's supplementary card.
Otherwise, if we make a large purchase at the arcade later, he'll definitely nag us again. After all, Xuan Mingtian's idea is that if we don't have good luck at the arcade, we can just spend money to buy game coins to exchange for spirits.
Ten minutes later, the three of them finally arrived at the game city. At the same time, Xuan Mingtian was thinking that he must find a mount spirit, otherwise walking around like this every day would make it impossible to highlight the fact that he was a lazy bum.
"Xiaotian, you really shouldn't have said that to Aunt Hanako this time. She's already having a hard time taking care of Xiaozhi all by herself, and now you've made her cry. She even almost knelt down before you." Xiaogang was also a little regretful at this moment, regretting that he hadn't stopped Xuanmingtian's behavior.
“Xiaogang, I understand what you mean. I just can’t stand that guy surnamed Ya. He’s a perfectly good father, but he insists on going on a trip. Nobody can justify that.” Xuan Mingtian also regretted that he wasn’t born a few years earlier.
"Brother Tian, I actually think that Aunt Hanako and Uncle Aya's relationship is consensual. She doesn't have the same kind of relationship as us. Just like Aunt Hanako said, this is Uncle Aya's dream. I believe he has already asked Professor Oak to help take care of Ash." Yang Bin said earnestly.
"I know, I've already promised them that as long as I break Uncle Ya's leg, the author will turn into a duck." But Xuan Mingtian thought to himself, "What does the author's business have to do with me? I'd rather the author turn into a pig than a duck."
However, upon deeper reflection, she also felt that Yang Bin's words made sense. After all, Hua Zi was not like Yang Bin and Xiao Gang. The two of them were already tied to Xuan Mingtian. It could be said that if they had problems, she would lose face, and if she had problems, they would all be in trouble. Although Xuan Mingtian could not die, he could be sealed. If he were sealed by other divine beasts for tens of thousands or even tens of millions of years, what would be the point?
Therefore, Xuan Mingtian can only quietly watch and enjoy the show as Xiao Zhi grows up. After all, the path of survival can also lead to immortality. Once his body can withstand 1 million times the force of gravity, he will go and challenge those who cannot fly.
With their thoughts returning to normal, the trio entered the entrance of the game city. The game city was a three-story building. Although it wasn't tall, it occupied a larger area than a department store. Inside, there was also a battle arena, which was for trainers to battle and earn points to exchange for Pokémon. Looking at this description, Xuan Mingtian immediately felt very excited. Wasn't this exactly what they were waiting for him to do?
It also includes a Pokémon simulation battle game, where you battle against each other using data on a computer, with points rewards. There are also other mini-games, such as: Pikachu hitting mushrooms, Arbok, Blastoise, Pokémon Fighter, True Pokémon Warriors, Zapdos, Whack-a-Mole, Arcanine Run, etc. These mini-games are suitable for most children, but none of them are suitable for Xuan Mingtian.
And then there are the most important slot machines, which are the arcade's most lucrative tool and also the most popular games. Some people have gone bankrupt because of slot machines, while others have become incredibly wealthy because of them. But such people are only a very small minority. That's why the owners here have put up a sign at the entrance to the slot machine area that says, "A little gambling is fun, but excessive gambling is harmful."
Similarly, the game coins and points here can be exchanged for Alliance Coins. This mechanism and prizes have made Game City widely known in Kanto and even around the world.
After entering the lobby, the trio first checked the game currency exchange table and the points exchange table. Fortunately, the Young Gilas on the game currency exchange table was still there, so their goal became very clear.
"Brother Tian, can I exchange for one too?" Yang Bin said, then shyly twisted his neck.
Xuan Mingtian then flicked him on the forehead and said, "What are you shy about? You're twisting your neck. Next time, just say what you want to say. What kind of spirit do you want to exchange for?"
Then Yang Bin pointed to Eevee at the end of the exchange list and looked at Xuan Mingtian again.
"Granted. From now on, don't be shy about what you want. Even if you want the weights for the points table, I can get them for you."
Xuan Mingtian's words moved Yang Bin to tears, and he exclaimed that he had found a good older brother.
"Alright, let's head out and exchange for game currency."
Led by Xuan Mingtian, the trio arrived at the exchange window and observed that it was the same as what they had seen on their phones before: 1 coins for 50 coins, and 1 coins for 500 coins.
The coin seller smiled and said to the three children as they came to the window, "Young friends, how many game tokens would you like to exchange?"
Hearing that gentle voice, Xuan Mingtian felt instantly relaxed and refreshed. She also assumed the trio were there to play games; after all, what else could such young children do besides these kinds of games? (The coins for the games are different from those for the slot machines; each game coin costs 1 Alliance Coin, which is cheap but doesn't offer any prizes.)
"Give me 1 slot machine tokens first, then you can follow me," Xuan Gates Mingtian said upon his first login.
"Kids can't play slot machines, and lying will get you a toothache. Here, have some coins for some games." After saying this, the coin seller took 10 game coins from the drawer of the counter and placed them in front of the trio.
The trio looked at each other in bewilderment. What was going on? Did they really think they were children if they didn't produce the Alliance Black Card? But the trio were indeed children.
"Sister, what you said is true. You should also call your manager or boss over, because I might need them later."
After speaking, Xuan Mingtian took out the Alliance Black Card from his pocket. From then on, the coin seller no longer underestimated herself, because she understood that this black card meant she had huge assets and a powerful background. She then used the walkie-talkie to call the manager.
In 10 seconds, a strong figure rushed to the trio.
"Young master, welcome to the game center. I am the owner, my surname is Hong. May I ask what you need?" the strong man said with a beaming smile.
"Hello Mr. Hong, I'd like to ask if you sell any Bean Pigeons separately here. As you know, this isn't the United States, so wild Bean Pigeons are very rare," Xuan Mingtian said sincerely.
“Young master, if you have a large population of Pokémon, I can sell them here, and Beanpigeon is one of them, but I don’t have many on hand,” the strong shopkeeper said apologetically.
