The mecha I made is a big guy

Chapter 93 Ji An's Secret

The white bed curtain, the smell of disinfectant, Chen Mengmeng couldn't be more familiar with this place - the school hospital.

It's just that it's not Chen Mengmeng who is lying on the bed this time, but Ji An.

"Okay, why did you suddenly break your hand?" Tian Yang was taken aback when he saw Ji An's miserable state on the bed: his entire right arm was wrapped like a mummy, and his face was originally upright, with a hole in the corner of his mouth. It swelled up like a tumor.

Nat, who was standing beside the bed, had a rare smile on his always smiling face.He moved the corner of his mouth slightly, turned around and helped Ji An who was struggling to sit up.

"It's okay, when Nat and I were practicing, one of them didn't pay attention, hehe." Ji An smiled and comforted: "The doctor said, it will be fine in a month, it's not a big deal, it won't affect Time for a mission."

"Can you do this through practice?" Tian Xin was speechless.

"Because of something that day, the two had a fight and drank some wine. I shot a little too hard." Nat explained a few words in a low voice.

"Senior Nat, you're too ruthless." Tian Yang laughed.

"Don't say that, it's my own problem." Ji An hurriedly changed the topic: "I heard that Mengmeng has decided to double major?"

"Yes, there is an invitation. I also have a need to continue studying and use the laboratory here, so I agreed."

"That's not an easy task." Ji An laughed.

"Are you going to hide it from them like this?" Nat's dissatisfied voice came from the ward, and his usual lazy and cynical tone became serious and serious.

Chen Mengmeng didn't expect to hear such an unexpected sequel when she turned back.

"Nat, you think it's because of my poor self-esteem. I really don't want them to know." Ji An's voice was full of helplessness.

"Confidence? Ji An, do you regard us as your friends? Do you regard me, Nat, as your good brother? If I hadn't followed you secretly that night, you wouldn't have been beaten to death that night." Someone will collect your body! Although 40 is quite a lot, it’s not impossible for everyone to find a way, so why don’t you?”

"Will everyone look down on you because of this? Or will they make you inferior because of this? Self-esteem is not for your brothers, Ji An!"

"You would rather deal with the gang of mad dogs than us. Even if you don't want to find your juniors, it's fine, and you don't even tell me! If I didn't ask you, would you explain to me? How old did we meet? Twelve or thirteen? Ten years of friendship, isn’t it important enough for Ji An’s weird self-esteem?”

There was silence in the ward for half a minute.

"What are you going to do next? With a broken hand, you can't control the mecha to fight smoothly." Finally, Nat spoke.

"If you have a broken hand, you have to go. If you don't show up, the gangsters will find the school, and I will be finished." Ji An smiled helplessly.

"Go up and get beaten? Damn it, Ji An, I should have let you be beaten to death by those people that day!"

"Bang!" The door of the ward was slammed open and closed, and Nat who rushed out suddenly met Chen Mengmeng face to face.

"Did you hear it all?" Nat was taken aback for a moment.

"Yeah." Chen Mengmeng nodded: "I originally wanted to ask about your body size, because I have some materials on hand recently, and I want to make you a soft body armor for you."

Nat smiled palely: "You have a heart."

"So... what's going on here? Surely his injury wasn't due to some practice gesture?" Chen Mengmeng asked with a frown.

Nat hesitated for a moment, and whispered a few words in Chen Mengmeng's ear.

"You mean, Ji An has been sneaking over the wall and going out to play black games for so long?" Chen Mengmeng raised her eyebrows.

The black game is an illegal mech competition held underground. It is basically operated by some gray forces or underground organizations. These games are organized to let the audience buy tickets and then open the bet. Because it is too bloody and violent, it is banned by the empire the match of.

"How did Ji An get into this?" Chen Mengmeng lowered her voice, "What does it have to do with his 40 yuan?"

"Ji An didn't let me tell you before. Although he is a native of the imperial capital, he is a single-parent family and grew up with his mother."

"His mother has been in poor health for so many years. I have seen it a few times. It seems that there is some mental problem, and occasionally she is a little distracted. But I heard that it seems to be getting more serious recently."

"On the day when the mech design competition ended, Ji An went home and found that his mother had run out in a daze because of a sudden illness, and was hit by someone."

"Bumped?! How are you?"

"I was rescued in the hospital for one night and used a lot of good medicines. I finally survived, but I stayed in the special ward for several days, and the hospital billed more than 40." Speaking of this, Nat sighed softly. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Ji An's family has been tightening their belts since childhood, how can they have so much money?"

"So for the entire holiday, Ji An was trying to make money. If he could go to the border to sell some materials, this hole could be filled. But the hospital is in urgent need, and his mother can't do without someone to take care of him. In desperation, he borrowed the money. Loan usury, paid medical bills, and hired a nurse for her mother. As a result, the gangsters who lend money are now arranged to go to the black market to play games for them to pay back the money."

Chen Mengmeng blinked, remembering that during the vacation, she said in the group chat that she wanted to make money, and Ji An said that he could go to the border to hunt insects, which was something he couldn't get away from.

"Then how did he break his hand?"

"You know Ji An's physical fitness. He has always been a leader in the combat armor system, so after the end, he will win everything."

"However, with such a stable winning rate, how can the boss behind the black market make money by gambling? Last night, the black market temporarily changed the rules, saying that it was a two-player match, and two people had to form a team to compete. Did that guy Ji An The only way is to accept the partner that the gangsters temporarily found for him, but that partner is very good at picking his feet, and the opponent he meets is very strong.

"These two opponents must have been carefully selected." Chen Mengmeng sneered, "After finally changing the rules, can he win again? So the hand was interrupted during the match?"

"Yeah." Nat nodded, "Both of the opponents had been defeated by Ji An in the singles competition before, and took advantage of this opportunity to kill him. Ji An also has a stubborn temper and gritted his teeth. He refused to admit defeat, but fortunately I followed him that day and dragged him off the stage."

"How much money does Ji An still owe the gangster? I still have some money on hand. He can't play games now. Let's pay him back the money first."

"It's not about money anymore." Nat shook his head.

After Nat's explanation, Chen Mengmeng understood that the gangsters were interested in Ji An's ability to play, and when they borrowed money, they made a rule that they had to play 40 games, and one game was worth [-] yuan. They don't want the money back.

And now, Ji An has eight games left.
