A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 617 Competition Rules

Obi said, "Ten gold bars are enough. I can't take any more than that."

Chao Bufan forcefully stuffed twenty gold bars into Obi's hand and laughed, "Take them!"

Just then, Obi's mother came to call Obi for dinner. Seeing so many gold bars in Obi's hands, she exclaimed in surprise, "Obi, where did you get so many gold bars?"

Obi seemed terrified of his mother and quickly said, "Mom, these gold bars were given to me by this customer. They want to buy my fighter jet, but... I said I only wanted ten gold bars, but this customer insisted on giving me twenty-one gold bars."

Obi's mother angrily said, "Obi, have you forgotten what I've always told you?"

Obi lowered his head and said with a wronged look, "Mom, I haven't forgotten."

Obi's mother scolded, "If you haven't forgotten, then why did you take so many gold bars from the customers? Obi, although we are poor, we must be poor with dignity. We should take what we are entitled to and ask for what we are entitled to. We cannot take more money from the customers than we should, do you understand?"

Obi replied, looking very aggrieved, "Mom, I..."

“Auntie,” Chao Bufan quickly came out to explain, “You’ve misunderstood Obi. These extra eleven gold bars are what I insisted on giving to Obi because I wanted to ask him for a favor. These gold bars are my reward to him.”

“Help?” Obi’s mother frowned and asked, “What kind of help requires so much payment?”

Chao Bufan said, "Oh, it's like this, Auntie. The three of us are from Earth in the solar system. My name is Chao Bufan, this is Tianyue, and this is Ritian. We have just arrived on Planet Kanar and know nothing about it. So we would like to ask Obi to be our guide, take us around, explain the local customs and culture to me, and teach me how to fly this fighter jet."

Obi's mother said with some skepticism, "That doesn't need to be such a high fee!"

“Of course,” Chao Bufan said. “Auntie, you don’t know, if this fighter jet were on Earth, it would cost far more than ten gold bars! It would cost at least a thousand gold bars like this to buy it.”

Obi's mother said, "Sir, our Obi's fighter jet is only worth ten gold bars, and it is only worth ten gold bars. If you want Obi to be your guide, even the reward doesn't need to be this much."

Obi said, "Sir, I am honored to be able to help you. How about this, you give me one gold bar as payment, and you can take the rest back."

Everyone has their own principles, and since that's what they said, Chao Bufan didn't say anything more and nodded, "Alright then!"

After bringing back ten gold bars, Obi handed all eleven gold bars to his mother and said, "Mom, please take these gold bars. From now on, you will teach these three guests how to use this fighter jet."

Obi's mother nodded and said, "Obi, since you've taken their money, you must do your job properly."

Obi said, "Mom, don't worry, I know."

Obi's mother hummed in agreement and said, "Then you two can continue your conversation. I won't disturb you any longer."

After her mother left, Obi seemed to relax a lot. She quickly wiped away a bead of sweat from her brow and then said respectfully, "Boss, I'll teach you how to fly this fighter jet now!"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan nodded and smiled, saying, "Alright, thank you very much."

This X-wing TOT twin-engine fighter is 15 meters long, with ample space and the ability to fly autonomously. When the faster-than-light engine is activated, its flight speed can approach the speed of light.

As soon as they boarded the fighter jet, a robot about a meter tall walked over. Obi said to the robot, "TR, from now on, this is your master."

The robot TR said, "Master."

Chao Bufan nodded and smiled. Obi said, "Boss, as long as this fighter jet hasn't suffered fatal damage, TR will repair it in the shortest possible time."

Chao Bufan nodded and asked, "Obi, besides the repair function, what other functions does TR have?"

After he finished speaking, TR replied, "Master, in addition to my repair function, I can also accurately locate things. In addition, I understand the languages ​​of various countries in the universe and also have a certain combat capability."

Chao Bufan nodded and asked, "TR, do you understand languages ​​on Earth?"

TR said, "There are too many countries on Earth. I don't know which country the master is referring to, because I only understand two common languages ​​on Earth: Mandarin and English."

Chao Bufan said, "Knowing Mandarin and English is enough, because I am from HX and speak Mandarin."

Upon entering the cockpit, Obi said, "Boss, I'll explain while I fly this fighter jet!"

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "We'll understand it more easily when it's actually done."

The fighter jet started up and entered outer space in the blink of an eye. Obi patiently explained while piloting the jet, and after Obi's patient explanation, not only Chao Bufan, but also Tianyue and Ritian were able to pilot the jet.

Next, the three of them took turns piloting the fighter jet. After Chao Bufan piloted the jet, Tian Yue exclaimed, "Little brother, this big guy is fun and exciting. Why don't you buy one for me to play with?"

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "What's the rush? I'll buy it for you."

Upon hearing this, Tianyue and Ritian exclaimed in unison, "Really?"

Chao Bufan nodded and smiled, saying, "Obi, don't you have a flying casino here? I heard that the prize for winning first place is a spaceship and a billion gold coins. Is that true?"

Obi nodded and said, "The competition is real, but I don't know if the reward is real."

"Why?" Chao Bufan and the others asked in unison.

Obi said, "This kind of competition is held every year, and there are many participants, but in the end, no one has ever won first place."

"Why?" Chao Bufan and the other two asked in unison again.

Obi chuckled and said, "Because the prizes for such large-scale competitions are so generous, every participant wants to win first place. So, during the competition, participants often resort to all sorts of despicable means to prevent other participants from beating them. The more they do this, the more chaotic the competition becomes. The rules of the competition are that pilots must fly their spaceships for ten laps and cross the finish line. Many participants die in their crashes before even completing one lap. Even if you make it to the last lap, the organizers will send dozens of unmanned spaceships to harass you. Therefore, in all the previous competitions, no one has ever actually reached the finish line."
