Apocalypse: System of lotteries

Chapter 316 Academy Awards

?

Schneider felt his legs go weak, and he could only support his body sitting on the ground with both hands.

He looked at the man who was holding two toads again, and said with a trembling voice, "Can...can we talk about this first?"

After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and hurriedly added, "Just talk, no fighting."

"Sure~"

Ming walked over, squatted in front of Schneider, and handed him the twofrogs with closed eyes in his hands, "These are my family members who have been with me for many years. Your people's skill has frozen them to death. You decide how to resolve this."

"I...I..." Schneider's voice was still shaking, and honestly, he didn't know what to do.

Give money, how much is appropriate?

Give supplies, how much is appropriate?

Suddenly, he saw those two toads lying on their backs with their bellies rising and falling, breathing. At this moment, Schneider felt as if he had grasped a lifesaving straw and exclaimed, "Hey~ your toads are not dead, they are still breathing, they are still alive!!"

"Look!!"

Ming raised his clenched left hand, pointed to the two frogs in his right hand, and said to Schneider, "They may still be alive now, but their bodies have been seriously injured, what do you say?"

"Ah this!!"

Schneider looked at the toads in the other party's palm, their four legs straight, mouths open, tongues flapping to the side... They indeed seemed severely injured... They looked close to death...

He looked up and sneaked a glance at the five-meter-tall beastman standing behind Ming. When his gaze met with it again, he felt a hollow feeling in his heart.

"Really... I'm truly sorry. We didn't know there would be any owned exotic beasts in this desolate area. We did an inspection a few days ago and we didn't encounter you, if we did, this misunderstanding wouldn't have happened today~" Schneider hurriedly explained.

Ming frowned, "So you mean to blame me for not being here a few days ago? The responsibility is all on me?"

"No, no, no, no!!" Schneider quickly waved his hand, "I absolutely don't mean that, I just want to express that I really didn't know the rhino was yours, of course, last time I didn't see these two toads either."

"Don't mention my rhino. Look at what you've done to it."

Ming turned his head and looked at the rhino that Raoul had pulled out of the sand pit. He pointed at the few traces left by the arrows on its body, "Look, its skin is peeling."

Schneider sighed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was just skin peeling, he should not have to compensate too much.

[Your frogs took advantage of Schneider's distraction, Da Vinci blinked at the rhino and made a gesture with his tongue sticking out of his mouth, then communicated with eyes~]

[Foodie showed how to tremble its legs, and gave a mysterious look~]

With a loud "thump"!!

A loud noise echoed.

Ming and Schneider looked towards the source of the sound at the same time.

They found the heavily armored black rhino had fallen straight to the ground, its four legs shaking uncontrollably towards the sky. Its eyes rolled back, mouth open, tongue lolling to one side, drooling white saliva and green plant juice.

"..."

Ming was taken aback, new member Rhino, you truly are the one carrying the good actor in our family.

Schneider stood there in despair, a rhino that was just fine a moment ago, is now incapacitated?

Are you too fragile?

Thump~

A honey badger fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and spinning in place.

"..."

Schneider was stunned, looking at Ming, who touched his nose, "Well, yes, it's also my family's~"

[Your frogs gave a froggy thumbs up to the little white, they thought this guy was a genius, the Oscars should award you~]

[Your Merlin appeared riding a lion, looked at Ming, then at the two frogs, then at the fallen rhino and honey badger, and finally at the woeful Schneider, it understood~]

With a double thump!

Ming and Schneider simultaneously turned their heads and found a lion collapsed on the ground, frothing at the mouth, and a leopard twitching and rolling on the spot~

"..."

Ming didn't know what to say. If he were a saint, he would definitely sympathize with Schneider. Unfortunately, he was aspiring to become a top capitalist,  and a zookeeper 

"..."

Schneider looked at the exotic beasts lying all over the ground, then turned his head to look at the young man in front of him. He took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, his eyes dull, "Do whatever you want with us~"

A while later, Ming led a group of people back, heading towards the huge mining pit.

He felt that Sam and Gandis could be promoted, it was not right to make business partners do the work, and they could be overseers~

Before leaving, he gave a look to Da Vinci and Merlin.

[Your Da Vinci and Merlin understood, blinking at the fallen exotic beasts around them, don't get up yet, wait until they have gone far before we recover~]

[Foodie was confused, why was Ming not winking at him, am I not worthy~]

"..."

Ming chuckled, you this fool, just focus on eating delicious food.

"Um..."

Schneider looked back, "Um... aren't you concerned about the life and death of your exotic beasts?"

Ming said indifferently, "In a while, they may be fine~ I have a big heart, I don't care about anything, you can see that, right?"

"..."

Schneider thought to himself, what do I see~ you're a liar who can squeeze oil out of a stone.

"Hey~"

Ming patted Schneider's shoulder, "Cheer up~"

"Heh~"

Schneider gave a stiff smile, sneaking a glance at the Emperor-class exotic creature floating in the sky. Yeah, I should be happy that I wasn't eaten.

[Your frogs watched you and the others walk away, disappearing into the vast grassland, Da Vinci croaked, it's about time, let's get up, the ground is pretty cool~]

[Merlin looked at the rhino, winked at it, you are so mighty and tall, your physical fitness must be good, right... Leopard heard this, its body involuntarily shrank back, it remembered itself... The rhino stamped its front hoof on the ground, shaking the ground, showing that its physical fitness was strong~]

[Your Merlin was ecstatic, he thought the rhino should be renamed Lab Rat~]
