Chapter 33: Changes and Transformation

Beside the Zhanbing Restaurant, in a restaurant.

Ye Ran took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Fan opposite him, and asked, "What happened?"

"My dad is in trouble."

Zhang Fan lowered his head, his voice hoarse with a bit of confusion and powerlessness.

"A week ago, my dad and the members of their warrior team encountered a second-level purple lacquer snake in the Limu Wasteland."

"Although they escaped successfully, my dad was poisoned by the purple lacquer snake and fell into a coma. He needs surgery..."

Purple lacquer snake?

Ye Ran's face was solemn. This is a kind of snake-like beast with a strong poison.

After being bitten by it, 99% of the warriors will die on the spot, and only some of them with extremely good luck can survive.

Even if they survive, they will become a vegetable in nine out of ten cases.

"Can surgery cure it?" he asked in a low voice.

"There is a nearly 80% chance of curing it, but the surgery fee cannot be raised."

Zhang Fan looked up, his eyes full of bloodshot, staring at Ye Ran.

The whole person seemed dull and slow.

It seemed like he was on the verge of collapse, and he could only make himself numb and less sensitive to hold on.

"How much does the surgery cost?" Ye Ran asked.

"Three million."

"No wonder."

Ye Ran sighed in his heart, and finally understood why Zhang Fan lied to him and said he was going on a trip.

Zhang Fan knew that his family was average, and he didn't want to implicate him, so he thought about carrying it on by himself.

But how could one person handle such a thing.

"How much money is still missing?" He asked with a frown.

Zhang Fan whispered: "The house has been sold, and everything that can be sold has been sold... My father's friends in the warrior team have also contributed a lot of money."

"But there is still a shortfall of 600,000. The surgery fee will be paid the day after tomorrow. If the surgery fee is not enough, the surgery next week cannot be carried out normally..."

"Enough."

Ye Ran suddenly said: "600,000, enough."

Zhang Fan was stunned.

Ye Ran handed him a bank card and said, "There are 230,000 yuan in this card."

"Your sword is worth 200,000 yuan, and you still need 170,000 yuan."

He took a deep breath and reluctantly took out the pair of transparent gloves from his body.

He continued, "I still have a D-level battle weapon here, which should also be able to sell for about 100,000 yuan."

"In this case, there is still about 70,000 yuan missing, 70,000 yuan, not much..."

"Brother Ran?"

Zhang Fan looked at him blankly. For the first time, he felt that his good friend who was inseparable from him every day was so unfamiliar. He had a battle weapon and 200,000 yuan in savings without knowing it.

But he felt particularly familiar.

It seemed that the other party had not changed from the beginning.

"Brother Ran, thank you~"

His voice trembled a little, and there were tears in his eyes.

Ye Ran shook his head, "You should have told me about this earlier, instead of carrying it yourself."

"Sharing weal and woe is called brothers. Okay, let's stop saying these mushy words and quickly collect the medical expenses."

The two returned to the battle weapon store.

"How is it? Is it the same as I said, that other places have lower prices?" The burly shopkeeper smiled.

Ye Ran didn't say much, took out his pair of combat gloves, and asked, "How much is this worth?"

The burly shopkeeper looked at him in surprise, and then looked at Zhang Fan.

"Okay, you do have a friend worth making friends with."

Then, he took the gloves and looked at them.

The burly shopkeeper's eyes lit up at first, but soon frowned and said, "The thing is good, but it has been used too many times, and the toughness is very low."

"For this thing, I can give a maximum of 120,000."

"120,000, okay."

Ye Ran was mentally prepared. This kind of gloves is still far behind the Blood Shadow Saber.

The two exchanged money and goods.

The burly shopkeeper was still regretful, "The material used for this glove is quite good, but it's a pity that the original owner didn't take good care of it."

"Otherwise, if it is properly maintained, the price will not be lower than the Blood Shadow Saber."

Zhang Fan also sold the Blood Shadow Saber.

Although this sword was his father's favorite weapon, he saved up money for a long time before he was willing to buy it.

But people are always more important than things.

If things are gone, you can find a way to get it, but if people are gone, nothing is left.

The two walked out of the store.

Ye Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He was still 50,000 short, which was not much.

Going to the underground fighting arena, it would only take five games.

"Brother Ran, I'll find a way to get the 50,000 myself."

Zhang Fan suddenly said.

Ye Ran was stunned for a moment, looked at his firm eyes, nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, but remember to go back and have a good rest."

"Yeah."

The two said goodbye.

Zhang Fan's mother was still in the hospital, taking care of his father, so he had to go to the hospital too.

After parting.

Ye Ran returned home with mixed feelings.

Although he returned to the pre-liberation era overnight.

The money he saved and the sword were gone, and the time to break through the warrior could only be postponed.

But he didn't regret it at all.

Just like he wanted to become a warrior, wanted to become stronger, and wanted to protect the people around him.

The real value of money is to help people around you.

What really makes him feel complicated is that life is full of changes.

A happy family may fall apart at any time because of an accident or a change.

Zhang Fan's family is like this, and his family may be like this in the future.

"In the final analysis, I'm not strong enough."

Ye Ran murmured. Only by being strong enough can he not be afraid of any changes and accidents and truly protect the people around him.

Just like this time, if he is strong enough, he is a warrior, or even a martial artist!

You can easily take out the three million.

How could Zhang Fan think of not getting him into trouble and thus hide it from him?

"I was timid before, always worried that the 300 combat power of the quasi-warrior realm would be too eye-catching and cause trouble."

"I always wanted to go to the wilderness, but I was worried that I would die in the wilderness and make my aunt and the others sad..."

Ye Ran whispered to himself, "I worry too much."

"As long as I become stronger fast enough, even if people know that I am a quasi-warrior with a combat power of 300, even if someone really troubles me for this, what does it matter?"

"Before he troubles me, I can grow stronger than any of them!"

"So, from the beginning, I don't need to hide anything!"

Ye Ran raised his head suddenly.

A certain shackle in his heart shattered with a bang.

The path of martial arts is to be brave and diligent.

Only the weak will look ahead and behind and take into account other things.

From today on, he will no longer have any concealment, let alone any avoidance!

At this moment

Although Ye Ran still looks the same as before, he has an extra confidence that he is not afraid of anything and can conquer everything!

This is the heart of a strong man.

It is also an important transformation that must be experienced to become a truly strong man.
