At that mont, Su Zijun called from the dical room, "Next one, co in! don’t waste my ti!"
After hearing this, Uncle Mouse Monster quivered and said subconsciously, "Well, I suddenly thought of sothing I have to do. I won’t have ti to receive the dical examination!"
He waved his hand while retreating until reaching the back door and escaped quickly.
"Hey! Uncle Mouse! You forgot to take your wife’s dicine!" Luo Dance shouted at back.
"I’ll co later!" Uncle Mouse Monster didn’t look back.
No one dared to remain behind for fear of losing more blood!
Uncle Mouse Monster didn’t think he had enough blood for supporting that Hanba. Even if she was a half Hanba.
...
...
"Dad, you ca back!"
Mouse Monster returned to his comfortable ho at night.
It was actually a dark and wet basent, which was the best environnt for mice, instead of humans. And it connected to the sewers of this city beneath it.
His pregnant wife poured a cup of tea and seated him, "Have you had so food? I picked so canned at this afternoon!"
"No more wandering outside with your big belly, OK?" Uncle Mouse Monster scolded his wife... but eyes revealed his warmth.
Right then, all of his kids rushed toward him; the family looked cheerful.
It was the ti for a rest, but the Mouse Monster mood changed.
"Dad! I want a new toy!"
"Dad,dad! Can I have a new pencil box? I’ve used this one for one year..."
"Dad, dad..."
"Honey, we’ve used too much electricity this month..."
The worries of a middle-aged male rose from Uncle Mouse Monster...
Although Mouse Monsters could exist in cities... they had been living in the lowest level due to their cowardly character.
This Mouse Monster was living in this city lawfully; its family lived poorly but were happy.
However recently, the Mouse Monster was starting to get anxious... because of his growing kids and a with a new addition.
It was hard to support the family’s expense as a pipeline worker.
...
He felt anxious lying on his bed, so he went out of its ho for a walk.
Soon, he ca to an old and abandoned factory; there was a flat there, but not many people were still living there.
Uncle Mouse Monster went through many factories and finally arrived at a place with windows and door closed; then it knocked at the door quickly.
The door was opened soon, and a thin boy with smoky eyes showed up. Then, a deafening noise ca to the ears of the mouse.
Music and fantastic lights mixed with ssy slls. Uncle Mouse Monster deeply breathed, and spat out a bead, giving it to the boy.
The boy weighed it in his hand, and revealed a smile, "Welco."
Uncle Mouse Monster couldn’t wait to enter, feeling that his nerves had cald down.
He enjoyed the earsplitting music, as if his soul was dancing with the tempo.
It turned out monsters also needed to relax.
This was the Elysium Pub---a place for monsters to relax and release their stress.
It costed the power of monsters---the bead it spat was the entrance fee.
It was hard for monsters to gather the power in the city, even harder than earning money... so Uncle Mouse Monster could only co every two months.
He walked to the bar---rely wanting to get so beers as he couldn’t afford anything else.
At the sa ti, a young female wearing short pants and a tight top was twisting her body to the tempo. Each of her movents were full of temptation.
So drunk monsters were cheering under the dancing floor.
"One fire lizard please." The mouse sat down and turned to the bartender---a wild-boar monster.
"Is she a new dancing diva? I’ve never seen her before."
"She?" the wild-boar monster poured fire-red liquid as saying, "She’s not a dancing diva, but ca for fun like you. I don’t know her background. As per the rule, we never ask for their own information."
"Oh..." Uncle Mouse Monster shrugged. He drank the fire lizard while narrowing his eyes, "But she looks pretty sexy."
"What, a scardy mouse like wants her?" the wild boar bartender scorned, "Look at them, all the males want to get her, but nobody dares to take any actions!"
"Oh?" the words attracted Uncle Mouse Monster’s interest.
The bartender ca close and said secretly, "I just know that she appeared 6 months ago and ca about twice... it’s the third ti she ca here. She’s not a person to annoy. Do you know what happened last ti when a stupid guy harassed her?"
"What happened?"
The wild boar bartender pointed at the ice-tube bucket, "Like this, he beca ice tubes and broke when soone touched him!"
Uncle Mouse Monster shrunk his neck. Apparently, he was worried, "Beca ice tubes... what kind of monster is she?"
The bartender shrugged, "I don’t know, I just hear she is called Lizi."
Uncle Mouse Monster only nodded and rembered the na, before continuing his drink.
"One more!"
Ten minutes passed, the mouse had drunk five cups of fire lizard and looked tipsy.
"Do you have sothing on your mind?" the wild boar bartender wiped cups while asking curiously.
Uncle Mouse Monster raised head and gave him a smile, saying after a burp, "You... you don’t know anything... you don’t know it..."
"I can share your sadness."
Uncle Mouse Monster shook its head, "Let , ask you a question. Tell ...(burp)...Tell , how to quickly and safely, without breaking Master Long’s rules, make a lot of... money?"
The bartender ca close and whispered, "Many ways are fast and safe, but if you don’t want to break Master Long’s rule, then there are even less."
The mouse gaped and said drunkenly, "There are less...how less?"
The wild boar bartender looked around secretly, "It depends on how brave you are!"
