Life in HxH - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Helping Piccolo

In the restaurant, a teenager was feeding a young man, attracting the attention of many diners.

It’s a bit strange after all, isn’t it!

And Piccolo’s face turned red because of all the attention, and he looked very shy.

In fact, he is not very old, only 21 years old. If he were in Lucci’s previous life, he would be just a big boy.

After the meal, Piccolo thanked again and said that he would pay for the meal.

Next you still need to go to the bookstore and ask.

But Lucci stopped him.

“If you need a job, you can actually try to become a referee in the Heavens Arena.” Lucci gave the other party a suggestion.

“Is it okay?” asked Piccolo.

He came here only because he heard about the Heavens Arena, saying that as long as he could reach a certain level, he would have no worries about food and drink.

He, who only knew how to fight, came here without hesitation.

I am not a martial arts pursuer.

Lucci took Piccolo back to the Heavens Arena.

Still didn’t let the other party go to Conrad’s bookstore.

That bookstore is quite famous in Kerry City, and many people have received help here.

The Conrad gangster family is now one of the most powerful gangs in Kerry City because of the existence of this bookstore.

Or should we say it was because of the existence of a person named Julia Conrad.

There was nothing special about that bookstore, but for the city of Kerry, it was a place of order and even a place of learning.

In this bookstore, you can find a job that can support your life.

You can also learn characters and increase your knowledge in this bookstore.

Conrad grew up relying on such “funding”.

There are ordinary people in this bookstore, as well as many contestants like Piccolo who are fighting in the Heavens Arena.

There will always be people who stand out among them, and some of these people will join the Conrad family, while some people will choose to help with certain things even if they do not join.

It is a means of winning people’s hearts and minds, and of course in such a world and environment, it can also be considered a good deed.

After all, even the Phantom Troupe will do charity work in the future.

Generally speaking, one’s character can be seen from the behavior of someone who has certain military power and chooses to exchange his labor for compensation. When such a person joins the Conrad family, it also changes the family.

But some fundamental things will not be changed. The three major industries of gangs are all involved in pornography, gambling and drugs.

After returning to the Heavens Arena to inquire, he found out that the referee’s job was not as simple as Lucci had thought.

The main reason is that there are more referees at the lower level, with less rotation and fewer new employees.

Some referees have no ambition and do not want to be promoted, after all, promotion means greater danger.

And Piccolo’s strength is just that of a grassroots referee.

Of course, if Lucci insists, Piccolo can still become a referee of the Heavens Arena.

Without waiting for Lucci to make a decision.

Piccolo refused outright.

“I’ll find a job on my own, please.”

“It’s hard to find a job here.” The overdeveloped business in the Heavens Arena has had a great impact on the surrounding businesses in Kerry City. It can be said that except for martial arts gyms, other businesses are not well developed.

It’s difficult to find a job here.

Can only let Piccolo join the Conrad family?

“I’m afraid no one will hire you in your current state.”

Piccolo looked bitter. This was indeed a problem.

“Since you need a job, then give me a job.” Lucci planned to offer Piccolo a job.

Piccolo didn’t show any joy, but instead asked, “Why did you help me? Even though you said we were destined to meet, we’ve only met three times, right?”

“I helped if I wanted to. If I really need a reason, your previous behavior is one. Even though it didn’t really help me, maybe I just wanted to have more good people in this world.”

Lucci said this while thinking.

Lucci was reborn into this world with extraordinary powers, and although he didn’t have great love, he still did some good things if he came across one.

“I’m not a good person.” Piccolo said this with a complicated expression.

“Forget it, you need to consider too much. Just tell me whether you want to work for me.” Lucci asked directly.

“What job is it?” Piccolo needed this job.

“It’s not that difficult, but I can only provide you with accommodation and three meals a day, no salary.” Lucci agreed.

“I am already very satisfied with these.”

Lucci then told Piccolo about his job.

It is indeed a simple job.

To understand the various situations in Kerry City, in simple terms, is to inquire about intelligence.

As for why Lucci needed these, it was because he was planning to do something.

Despite the prosperity brought by the Heavens Arena, the city of Kerry is still too chaotic.

He is not a crazy cultivator and he also wants to change some things.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t let the Phoenix fly every day and understand through its eyes.

After all, this is his living environment, so he still hopes it can be more stable.

Of course, I still have some other ambitions in my heart, but it is not the time to talk about them now. I have to take one step at a time.

Although it is to inquire about various information.

But Piccolo, who had never done such a thing before, was a little confused.

And he can’t read.

“Then let’s start with how many martial arts schools there are in Kerry City, what schools they belong to, and how many students they have.” Lucci didn’t intend to let him do the most difficult thing directly.

“I understand!” and then he planned to go to work directly.

“Wait a minute.” Lucci immediately called out to Piccolo.

It’s really too urgent.

Lucci first got Piccolo a meal card at the cafeteria outside the 25th floor, and then found him a place to stay on the 18th floor.

Then tell the other party where you live and agree on a meeting time every day. The rest of the time is up to Piccolo to handle on his own.

Piccolo thought that Lucci was just trying to help him out of kindness for this simple job.

At night, returning to his room, Lucci was not in a hurry to practice.

But think about yourself.

Soon a goal was reached, which was to become the controller of the Heavens Arena.

Of course, at this stage he doesn’t know exactly how to do it.

The ability of mind he possessed made him believe that living in this world would not be a big problem, and he could even live a very easy life.

But he was not satisfied with this.

Even the Dark Continent is not his ultimate goal, but more unknown mysteries.

But all of these require strength to support.

Because of his different experiences, he believes that if you want to become stronger, it is not enough to just practice hard.

He needs more “power”.

To put it in a more spiritual term, it means wealth, Dharma, companionship and place.

Lucci’s mentality began to change. Before, he only had vague goals, but now they are more precise.
