Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 252 Making trouble
"Ding Han..."

Old Ma put down the walkie-talkie, smiled, and said, "You heard it too. The Resurrection Scripture is an extremely scarce resource, even scarcer than orange equipment. There are only two Resurrection Scriptures in our player black market. And those are only sold here by casual players who don't know the great value of this item. So you know, this thing isn't something you can buy just because you have money. You have to have enough contribution to your faction to be eligible to buy it!"

"Thanks, Lao Ma!"

My mood suddenly brightened, and I laughed, "We've laid out all our goods here. You figure out how to trade. We're on the same side, so I'm sure you won't cheat us."

"Ah."

Old Ma picked up a calculator and kept calculating "zeroing, zeroing, zeroing". After a while, he looked up at me and said, "Your batch of goods is pretty good. In terms of value... it's more than enough to exchange for two Resurrection Scriptures, and there's even some extra value. I won't rip you off. I'll give you two Resurrection Scriptures, plus 100 million star coins. How about that?"

Immediately, Ruolin, Caicai, and the others showed expressions of joy.

I raised my hand to signal everyone not to be too excited, and said, "Old Ma, there are seven of us here. How are we supposed to divide 100 million? Isn't this a classic case of 'two peaches kill three warriors'? Besides, my reputation level gives me a 10% shopping discount. Did you forget to include that? How about this, with the 10% shopping discount, you give me 140 million star coins. That way, it'll be easier for the seven of us to divide the money."

"..."

Veins bulged on Old Ma's forehead, and he was quite agitated. He pointed his finger at my nose and said, "Ding Han, you...you...you...you're the strongest player in the entire Huaining City, but you're also the most shameless!"

"Old Ma, what are you saying? I'm just fighting for my own legitimate rights. Besides, you, Mr. Ma, are in charge of the black market for players, making hundreds of thousands every second. Why would you care about this little bit?"

"Damn it, stop talking..."

Old Ma slammed his hand on the table and said, "One hundred and forty it is, I accept it!"

"Look, look..."

I pointed at Lao Ma and turned to Cai Cai, Fatty, and the others, saying, "In the entire player black market, I only recognize Lao Ma. Look how generous he is, unlike some merchants who are so indecisive and haggle over every penny!"

"Yeah……"

Cai Cai, Fatty, and Bingzi chuckled together, "Old Ma is so righteous..."

Not long after, Old Ma reluctantly took out two Resurrection Scriptures and 140 million Star Coins. All the goods we obtained from killing people on this trip were traded away. It doesn't matter, there will definitely be more opportunities like this in the future.

"Kou girl."

He picked up the Temple of Resurrection, kept one for himself, and tossed the other to Kou Mei, laughing, "Things like the Scripture of Resurrection come and go quickly. See, you've got it back after all."

"Thank you, boss!"

Kou Mei put away the Resurrection Bible with a delighted expression.

"Ruolin, divide the money!"

The group divided the money in front of Lao Ma, 20 each. As a result, the balance in my otherworldly storage space reached as much as 150 star coins.

After leaving Lao Ma's office, two familiar faces walked towards me: one was a sharpshooter, and the other was someone who was unassuming and unambitious.

"Ding Han!"

The man, seemingly unconcerned with worldly affairs, strode over, frowning as he asked, "I heard you encountered Moon Soil's team in the wilderness?"

"Ah."

I nodded: "You guys found out about it so quickly?"

"News naturally travels very fast in the player world."

Gunshot Like a Dragon said, "Come on, let's go to my place for a cup of tea and talk about the whole thing that happened this time?"

"OK!"

The rest of us followed them there, arriving at a place deep within the black market that resembled a conference hall. Afterward, Cai Cai and Ruo Lin recounted the entire ordeal in detail, leaving Qiang Chu Ru Long, Yu Shi Wu Zheng, and Xu Tian trembling with fear.

"Oh shit……"

Xu Tian frowned and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, this is a premeditated ambush."

“That’s right, that’s what I think too,” Cai Cai said.

"The Rising Tundra is very unsafe right now."

Gun Like a Dragon said, "According to the information I have, there are more than 100 settlements in the Windstorm Tundra, of which more than 90 are mainly inhabited by white people. They are closer to white players and it is easier for them to communicate. So the wilderness of the Windstorm Tundra can be said to have been infiltrated by the power of white players."

"Depend on……"

Huo Bingzhi took a deep breath: "Does this mean we can still go to the Rinfeng Tundra map in the future?"

"Yes, but there will be more people."

Yu Shi Wu Zheng said, "To be honest, it's fortunate that the Yue Rang team encountered you this time. If it were any other Chinese server team, they would probably have been wiped out by you."

Cai Cai and Ruolin nodded in agreement.

"Ding Han".

Xu Tian asked, "What are your takeaways from this encounter with the Moon Soil team?"

"Their genetically engineered team is very strong..."

I said with a serious expression, "Moreover, their genetic warriors are all modified. They are very large, have high health, fast health regeneration, and have learned a wide range of skills. Wearing heavy armor and a good shield, they can be used as a breakthrough point to break through our firepower. This is quite troublesome. I even think that without the power sword, our team would definitely lose this time."

"Depend on……"

Yu Shi Wu Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Even you think we're bound to lose. If the rest of us go up against you, the chances of winning will be even slimmer."

"The intelligence system is extremely important."

I looked at Spear Like a Dragon and said, “Alliance Leader Dragon, the Rising Wind Tundra is a teleportation point for several cities in our Jiangning Province. It’s our territory. If the other side can infiltrate, our forces should be able to infiltrate as well. We must keep up with the intelligence. For example, we should share key information with the rest of us, such as who the white player got the first power sword and who got the first power shield.”

"Will do."

Gunshot Dragon said, "We did neglect to collect this intelligence before, but after this incident, our player organization will definitely put more effort into this area, using agents, spies and other means to get the other player's data as much as possible and update it in real time."

“The Rinfeng Tundra is probably not safe lately. The Yuerang group is very strong and will most likely seek revenge,” Huo Bingzhi said.

"Do not."

Xu Tian shook his head: "On the contrary, after your battle, the Rising Tundra is safe for a while. After all, you destroyed 26 of their Resurrection Scriptures. It's impossible for Moon Soil and the others to gather that many again in a short time. So Moon Soil will not easily launch a war between players in the next half month to a month."

"It makes sense."

I nodded in agreement: "However, we still can't be too careless. In short, the dangers in the wilderness have not diminished."

"yes……"

He was indifferent to worldly affairs but deeply worried.

Everyone was a little downcast, and after chatting for a while longer, they went their separate ways.

Outside the black market, the seven players gathered at KFC for breakfast before going back to rest.

When I got home, Lin Qingying had already gone to work. She didn't bother me, but left a note on the table with her elegant handwriting: "I'm going to work. Message me when you get back to let me know you're safe."

I left in such a hurry yesterday that I forgot to tell her.

I quickly took out my phone and sent her a message: "A friend of mine had some trouble yesterday, so I went out in the middle of the night. I'm home now and getting ready to go to sleep."

"drop!"

She replied instantly: "I'm in a meeting, you should catch up on your sleep!"

So, I went to bed to rest.

……

Time flies, and Thursday is here in the blink of an eye.

In the afternoon, at Feiyang Internet Cafe.

"Ding Han, the league's opening match starts tomorrow, with the Business School playing against the Media School. I'm a little excited, aren't you?" Zhao Yihang asked with an excited expression.

"I'm doing alright..."

I sat at the bar, glanced at him, and said, "Is the poster finished yet? Send it to me quickly. Look at your work efficiency, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a college student?"

"Fuck..."

Zhao Yihang couldn't help but complain, "Why don't you look at how much work you've assigned me? Not only did you contact advertising companies, but you also had to recruit security personnel for the event, and now you have to make league posters. I didn't graduate from a design institute, do you think it's easy for me to learn Photoshop and Cheat Engine to make posters? Have some decency! Other people's employees are treated like beasts of burden, but I feel like my job is so complicated that it's even worse than that of a beast of burden!"

"Well, kid, you've gotten quite the brat since you became the deputy manager. You probably don't know what it means to be in a higher position and have the power to crush you, do you?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go make the poster right away. Wait for me for ten minutes."

"Hmm, where's Lu Xiaobei?"

"I went to the campus to talk to Qin Siyao about the event setup."

"alright."

Soon after, Lu Xiaobei appeared at the internet cafe with Qin Siyao and a group of student council members. They pointed out the competition area we had prepared, finding fault with everything, which left Zhao Yihang, a group of advertising company employees, and me in a state of chaos.

I was busy until late at night, and finally got the competition venue, sound system, and live streaming equipment sorted out. After repeated adjustments, there were no problems.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

At six o'clock, Lu Xiaobei walked in with two security guards carrying a large pile of boxed lunches.

I took a boxed lunch with a chicken leg added and sat down at the bar to enjoy my meal. Lu Xiaobei also took a boxed lunch and sat down next to me, eating with me, just like back in the Feiyang Internet Cafe in Xicheng.

"Ding Han, can we release the preview for the league's opening match now?" she asked.

"Okay, I'll post it first, and you can forward it later."

"it is good!"

So, I put a chicken leg in my mouth, posted the league poster on my WeChat Moments, and added text with the specific match time and location, making it look quite official.

Lu Xiaobei quickly forwarded it, then muttered, "The text is fine, it's just that the poster is too ugly..."

"What Zhao Yihang did has nothing to do with me."

"Hey Ding Han, you just sold me out like that!" Not far away, Zhao Yihang protested while holding his lunchbox.

"You need to practice cooking more. I'm training you to improve your work skills. When you become the president of a certain group in the future, you will definitely be grateful to me."

"You're just exploiting my labor, I'll thank you my grandma's leg!"

……

I chuckled and scrolled through my WeChat Moments while eating, only to find that I had already received many comments and likes in just a few minutes.

Those who liked the post included Lin Qingying, Shen Man, Chen Dongqing, Xu Hao, and Lu Zifeng, while there were many more who left comments.

Cheng Shuang: "Tomorrow night at seven o'clock? I understand!"

I don't know what she found out.

Milo: "Wishing my good brother a very successful league, and that together with Xiao Bei, we can make Feiyang Internet Cafe the number one internet cafe chain in the world!"

Cai Cai: "Can I join in the fun, bro?"

Kou Mei: "I'm going too, I want to join in the fun!"

Fatty: "Don't worry, bro, I'll definitely be there right on time for dinner tomorrow!"

……

The WHL season officially kicks off on Friday!
At 2 PM, HGL's live streaming team arrived and, after repeated testing, confirmed that everything was working correctly. They also sent two live commentators, a man and a woman, who are said to be well-known in the industry. The man is called Lao Yang and the woman is called Xiao Cang. The two were very dedicated and had asked us for information about the two teams, as well as the team members' rosters, preferences, races, etc., well in advance.

Around 3 PM, many students who were participating in the competition or watching the games poured into the internet cafe, creating a huge crowd. This proved my foresight in suggesting that we hire a few security guards for the internet cafe.

Half past four in the afternoon.

A food delivery truck appeared outside. It was Lu Xiaobei's meal, and it was served in a high-end lunchbox, similar to the boxed meals on high-speed trains. It was far superior to the kind of boxed meals that were tied up with rubber bands.

"I rely on..."

Looking at the boxed lunch that was delivered, I exclaimed in surprise, "This must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"That's not..."

Lu Xiaobei looked pained: "Each boxed lunch costs 15 yuan!"

Indeed, in this era, a boxed lunch with pork chop or chicken leg costs only 4-6 yuan, while a boxed lunch costing 15 yuan is already considered "affordable luxury".

"The boss is so generous..."

I nodded: "But since HGL and the student union from Huaining University are here, it's only right that we order some better boxed meals. There's no need to worry about the money."

"Ok!"

Lu Xiaobei nodded emphatically.

Just then, a message came from Cheng Shuang: "Ding Han, I'm almost at your internet cafe. I'll be there in a minute, just across the traffic light."

"what?"

I was taken aback, then quickly got up and led Lu Xiaobei towards the gate.

Half a minute later, the white Maserati MC20 came into view and parked directly in the parking space outside the internet cafe. Cheng Shuang, dressed in a business suit, stepped out, looking stunning. A woman in work clothes and a name tag, who was also quite attractive, got out of the passenger seat.

In addition, a television station van parked next to the MC20, and several television station staff members carrying cameras and wearing name tags got out.

“Cheng Shuang…”

I was dumbfounded: "What is this?"

"introduce."

Cheng Shuang, holding the hand of another woman beside her, smiled and said, "This is my good friend Liu Feier, a reporter from Huaining City TV Station. Look, her team is behind her. They heard that your internet cafe is about to host the first WAR3 college league in China, so they plan to do an interview about the league. This interview will be broadcast in tomorrow's news."

"..."

I was dumbfounded. Clearly, Cheng Shuang was using her connections to attract viewers to our league!

In "Star Abyss", the main form of entertainment for ordinary people is still watching TV, and this TV station has a huge audience!
"Ding Han..."

Lu Xiaobei stared intently at Cheng Shuang and said softly, "She is..."

“My friend, Cheng Shuang.”

I introduced them: "Cheng Shuang, Fei'er, this is Lu Xiaobei, the owner of our Feiyang Internet Cafe."

"Oh, I know..."

Cheng Shuang stepped forward to shake hands and smiled, "My beautiful 23-year-old boss, I've heard so much about you, but I've never had the chance to meet you. Hello, Xiao Bei, I'm Cheng Shuang, a friend Ding Han met in Jiangning."

"Hello……"

Lu Xiaobei didn't back down either, his whole demeanor transforming into one of great competence. He said, "Cheng Shuang, Fei'er, thank you so much for interviewing us for this league match. Feiyang Internet Cafe is very honored. Thank you so much! Please let everyone in. Haven't eaten yet? Just in time, our staff meal has arrived."

"Haha, okay, okay!"

Cheng Shuang led Liu Feier in.

I stood awkwardly at the door and looked at the staff behind me: "Um, sir... let me get the equipment for you."

"No, no, this equipment is quite expensive..."

Damn, that's so tactless.

……

"drop!"

At that moment, another WeChat message came from Lin Qingying: "Ding Han, I'm leaving get off work on time and I'll be right there."

"it is good."

I turned around, took a picture of the mountain of boxed lunches behind me, and sent it to her, saying, "They're distributing work meals right now. What flavor do you like? I'll secretly hide one for you!"

Do you have Kung Pao Chicken?

"There really is some, I saved some for you, come over quickly!"

"Uh-huh!"

Soon after, Lin Qingying arrived. Her white Bentley parked next to Cheng Shuang's car, attracting a lot of attention. When Lin Qingying got out of the car, many people came out to look, including Lu Xiaobei and Cheng Shuang.

Finally, the three of them got together for the first time...

"Xiao Ying".

I called out, and Lin Qingying immediately picked up her bag, grabbed her phone, and came over.

"Mr. Lin...Mr. Lin..."

In the crowd, Fei'er from the TV station was taken aback and said somewhat awkwardly, "Why are you here too?"

"what?"

Lin Qingying looked at me and said, "Ding Han, the organizer of this league, is a friend of mine..."

"Oh, I see. What a coincidence..."

Fei'er smiled and then looked at Cheng Shuang, who in turn looked at Lin Qingying.

“President Lin, what a coincidence…” Cheng Shuang spoke up first.

"Ah."

Lin Qingying nodded and smiled: "President Cheng, the last time we met was at the provincial chamber of commerce meeting in Jiangning City, right? I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that we would meet here."

"yes……"

Cheng Shuang nodded with a smile.

I suspect they are WeChat friends, and that they can see each other's likes and comments on my Moments, but I have no proof.

"Cough cough..."

I felt a little awkward. It seemed like they all knew each other, but I was the only one who looked completely clueless.

"Xiaobei, long time no see."

Lin Qingying stepped forward and took the initiative to speak with Lu Xiaobei.

"Ah."

Lu Xiaobei pursed his lips and smiled, "It's an honor for Mr. Lin to grace our Feiyang Internet Cafe with his presence... I just didn't expect Mr. Lin to be interested in competitive games as well."

"Ding Han has put a lot of effort into this league, so I insisted on coming to watch the opening match."

"That's it..."

Lu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Please come in, it's cold outside."

"Thanks!" Lin Qingying also entered the internet cafe.

For a moment, many internet users turned to look, and they were all dumbfounded. Although today's main event was the opening match of WHL, the presence of three beautiful women, Lin Qingying, Cheng Shuang, and Lu Xiaobei, made many people feel that whether they watched the opening match or not was not important. After all, the beauty of these three women was enough to make the trip worthwhile.

Moreover, about half of the people came because of Lu Xiaobei, a big star, and they were taking photos and getting autographs, making it a very lively scene.

After everyone entered the internet cafe, Lu Xiaobei casually picked up a name tag from the organizer and hung it up, then handed mine over as well. He had been so busy that he had completely forgotten about it.

"Ding Han..."

At this moment, Zhao Yihang walked over, his gaze lingered on Lin Qingying for a moment, and then he said excitedly, his voice trembling, "She...she's here too?"

"Ah."

I nodded: "Look at you, so pathetic!"

"I'm nowhere near as capable as you..."

He said with a bitter expression, "I'm surrounded by beautiful women..."

"Humph!"

Lu Xiaobei leaned closer and whispered, "Some people, you know, are all ladies' men!"

"no……"

I glared at him and said, "You can't say that..."

Just then, the roar of a sports car engine came from outside. An R8 came to a steady stop at the entrance, and a young man wearing sunglasses got out of the car and walked into the internet cafe with an air of confidence.

It was Ken, that softie!

It was so lively today, it feels like everyone who was supposed to come showed up...

"Xiao Bei, congratulations to Feiyang Internet Cafe for hosting the WHL League! I'm not late, am I?"

What brings you here?

Lu Xiaobei looked displeased.

"I'm here for the opening match, aren't you welcome?"

"Of course you're not welcome. Please leave."

"Xiao Bei!"

I glared at her from the side: "Aken came all this way, how can you turn him away?"

As I spoke, I looked at Ken the Softie and said, "Ken, you've come at just the right time. We're about to hand out your lunchboxes, come in and get yours."

"Oh……"

Aken gave him a grateful look and dashed into the internet cafe.

……

The boxed meals have started to be distributed.

I took out two boxed lunches that I had hidden away: one with shredded pork with garlic sauce and a chicken leg, and the other with Kung Pao chicken and sweet and sour pork ribs. I ate with Lin Qingying while leaning over the counter of the internet cafe. To my right was Cheng Shuang, who also had a boxed lunch. The boss of the Cheng Group did not look down on the quality of the boxed lunch and ate it with relish.

Lu Xiaobei opened a boxed lunch and placed it on the counter. Looking down at me, Lin Qingying, Cheng Shuang, and me, he started eating as well.

Aken received his lunchbox and ate standing up with Lu Xiaobei.

This scene seems a little absurd.

Fortunately, Fatty, Ruolin, Caicai, and Koumei arrived at that moment. So each of them got a boxed lunch, and since there was still a while before the opening match, they each turned on a machine and went to play some nostalgic games.

……

Soon after, the two HGL hosts started a live broadcast to warm up the audience, and the members of the two teams entered the competition area to start setting up their equipment. They all seemed very professional, each with their own keyboard and mouse, unlike me, who always uses the equipment in the internet cafe when playing games, which makes me seem very unprofessional.

"Ding Han..."

At this moment, Aken walked over, looked at the atmosphere on the scene, and said, "Sometimes I have to admit that you are indeed a talent in terms of operation. I didn't expect that you could plan such a large-scale league all by yourself."

"right?"

I laughed and said, "I'm quite capable, unlike you, who can't do anything except inherit the family business!"

"Fuck you!!!"

Arken immediately broke down, retorting, "At least I have a family fortune to inherit!"

I laughed and nodded in agreement: "Ah, yes, yes, yes..."

Lu Xiaobei almost burst out laughing.

……

At 7 o'clock, the WHL opening match officially began with the announcement from the two HGL hosts. In the first match, two departments sent one Elf player and one Orc player. The Elf player had a very high APM and was said to be the strongest Elf in the department, directly suppressing the opponent. However, the Orc player was no pushover either, and directly used a wolf rider base-destroying strategy, and in the end, he actually reversed the situation and won.

A fantastic match, giving the opening game a great start!

"Xiao Bei, Ding Han..."

At this moment, Chen Xiaoman came up behind us with a suppressed smile on her face and said, "So many people are topping up their cards... The number of topping up today is at least five times more than usual!"

"Don't rush, this is only the first game, and there will definitely be a surge in card top-ups after the opening game. Just wait and see," I said.

"Uh-huh!"

Chen Xiaoman looked excited.

……

The second match of the opening game is in full swing.

"Ding Han".

Cheng Shuang suddenly walked over and said, "As the organizer and planner of the event, would you like to give a television interview when you have time?"

"what?"

I was taken aback; I hadn't thought of this before.

"Go."

Beside her, Lin Qingying gave her an encouraging look and said with a smile, "Don't miss such a great opportunity to promote your internet cafe."

"All right!"

I turned and left, exuding an aura of a hero going forth never to return.

Against the backdrop of the internet cafe's entrance, Liu Feier and a group of TV station staff had already set up the lighting. They seemed to be interviewing Lu Xiaobei. In the footage, Lu Xiaobei looked radiant and full of energy, showing no signs of stage fright.

So I cheered myself up, making sure I didn't embarrass myself.

Soon, Liu Feier stepped into the camera's view and began the interview.

He was a little nervous at first, but when he talked about internet cafe operations and events, he suddenly became very talkative and expressed the unstoppable trend of the rise of e-sports.

The interview was quite successful, and Cheng Shuang stood to the side with her arms crossed, nodding in approval.

……

Back on the field, the third 1V1 duel has begun.

"Ding Han..."

Lin Qingying checked the time and said apologetically, "I have an online meeting tonight, and I have to go back to attend it immediately. Anyway, I've already watched the opening match and eaten my lunchbox. Is it alright for me to leave now?"

"Then hurry back, drive slowly on the road and be careful."

"Ok!"

After watching Lin Qingying leave, I continued to follow the progress of the competition.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the first four one-on-one matches ended in a 2-2 tie. So the last 2V2 match became the decisive game. The two sides went back and forth, and in the end, the School of Media won. Several of the participants shouted excitedly and almost cried tears of joy.

The scene was filled with enthusiastic applause. Many students from both colleges came to watch the game. After the game ended, it was still early, and many students did not want to go back to school. So they started to get membership cards and went online at Feiyang Internet Cafe, which was exactly the result we wanted.

Shortly after, Cheng Shuang saw Liu Feier and the other TV station staff off. Soon after, Liu Yan appeared and asked with a smile how the interview went.

At that moment, it dawned on me that Cheng Shuang's relationship with the TV station was actually orchestrated by Liu Yan. As the owner of Xinli Media in Jiangning City, the provincial capital, it was perfectly normal for Liu Yan to have had many dealings with Huaining TV station, to know some friends, and to have some connections.

"Xiao Bei, Ding Han!"

Chen Xiaoman, exuding a mature, wifely charm, walked in wearing her store manager's uniform, her face beaming with excitement: "So far, our card recharge amount has reached 12 times the usual amount. At this rate, today's total card recharge amount may be more than 15 times the usual amount!"

"That's great!"

Lu Xiaobei was very happy.

"This is only the first day of the competition. There are still matches tomorrow and the day after, so don't get too excited. The influence of our internet cafe is slowly growing, and it will definitely get better and better in the future."

"Yeah!"

Zhao Yihang laughed and said, "Ding Han, you're starting to sound more and more like a boss these days."

Chen Xiaoman covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"that……"

Lu Xiaobei said, "Today is the opening day of the WHL league. Since everyone is here, how about I treat everyone to dinner? Let's have a simple celebration banquet!"

Immediately, the suggestion was unanimously approved. Even Cai Cai, Fatty, and others who were playing Legend of Mir online slowly got up, afraid of missing this late-night snack.

So the group went out and, led by Lu Xiaobei, headed to the food street not far away. Sure enough, she took them to the Chicken and Frog Hot Pot restaurant, ordered a large private room, filled the table with dishes, and began to enjoy themselves!
Cheng Shuang and Liu Yan were also there, and they were very happy to be able to join in the celebration banquet.

As for Aken, he disappeared into obscurity, seemingly leaving quietly after his match in WHL.

After we finished eating, it was already around 11 p.m.

After leaving the dry pot restaurant, Cheng Shuang and Liu Yan each turned on the lights of their cars parked outside.

"Ding Han, I'm going back now. It's awfully cold outside. You should go home early too," Cheng Shuang said as she got into the car and rolled down the window.

"Ah."

I nodded, then bent down and leaned out the window, saying very seriously, "Cheng Shuang, thank you so much for your help today. I'll remember the matter with the TV station... Xiao Bei is also very grateful to you. You really helped me a lot today."

"Have it?"

Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "You organized the league, and Xiao Bei provided the venue. I just added fuel to the fire. I didn't really do anything big. Anyway... since I'm working in Huaining City now, and you're here too, I'll definitely help you if you need anything."

Thanks, I'll treat you to a meal next time I have time.

"Well, let's go!"

Cheng Shuang sped away, with Liu Yan close behind.

Everyone watched them leave.

"Ugh……"

Cai Cai shook her head and said, "What a wonderful woman..."

Fatty, Bingzi, and Faye nodded in agreement.

"Ding Han".

Zhao Yihang leaned closer and whispered, "I thought you only had one outstanding woman like Lin Qingying by your side, but I didn't expect there to be another one, Cheng Shuang. What kind of magical ability do you have to know these women?"

"Luck, do you understand what luck is?"

I glanced at him: "It was destined by fate, I didn't want it to happen..."

"Nima..."

Zhao Yihang gave the middle finger, and I immediately complained to Lu Xiaobei: "Boss, look, the deputy manager is disrespecting the manager by making an uncivilized gesture!"

"How about... we deduct a month's salary from his salary?" Lu Xiaobei asked.

"I think it works!"

"No, my dear boss..."

Zhao Yihang let out a wail and begged for mercy repeatedly. The group then walked towards Feiyang Internet Cafe, chatting and laughing.

……

"Eh?"

Suddenly, the fat man walking in front stopped and pointed towards the entrance of the internet cafe: "Look, something seems to have happened at the internet cafe. There are a lot of people gathered there. What happened?"

"what?"

Lu Xiaobei and I immediately rushed out of the crowd and went over.

Even before getting close, you can smell a strong stench of feces!
A familiar-looking, honest-looking middle-aged man sat at the entrance of the internet cafe, with two buckets full of excrement in front of him. He held a carrying pole in his hand. It was unclear where he got these things from, but the stench was overwhelming and completely blocked the internet cafe, preventing people inside from leaving and people outside from entering.

"I wipe..."

Faye frowned: "Is this guy out of his mind?"

I rushed forward and finally recognized him. This middle-aged man was actually the bankrupt boss who had transferred the Feiyang Internet Cafe and hot pot restaurant!

"no……"

I frowned: "What are you doing? What do you mean?"

"what do you mean?"

He raised his eyebrows, his face full of hostility, stared at me for a while, and suddenly shouted, pointing his finger at my nose: "I know you, you're in cahoots with them. You lied to me, saying that the rent in this area wasn't worth much anymore. Otherwise, why would I have transferred the shop to you? You bunch of liars! I only found out later that the shops here are really valuable!"

Then, he pointed at Lu Xiaobei: "Yes, you're the woman who tricked me into signing the contract. Where's the other man?"

"What do you mean?"

Lu Xiaobei said coldly, "Making trouble?"

"I don't want to cause trouble!"

The middle-aged man said regretfully, "But I've already lost everything, so what wouldn't I dare to do? You little brat tricked me out of my shop with a low price, and now the internet cafe business is booming. What did you tell me before? Didn't you say this location wouldn't be popular?"

"Whose fault is it that you don't know how to do business?"

Lu Xiaobei got angry too, and said angrily, "What do you mean by blocking my internet cafe with two buckets of manure?"

"You have to make up the difference in the sublease price of the shop, or I'm not letting this go today!"

The middle-aged man plopped down and made a gesture as if he might knock over the manure bucket at any moment.

If those two buckets of excrement are spilled at the entrance of the internet cafe, today's opening match will be ruined, and the WHL's first day opening match will be tainted by bad luck.

"Hold!"

The fat man understood: "They're just jealous of how good the internet cafe's business is, so they're trying to scam us, right?"

"Correct."

Lu Xiaobei said, "That's what he meant."

"Xiaobei..."

At this moment, Chen Xiaoman walked out of the internet cafe, bypassing the latrine bucket, and said with concern, "What should we do? Should we... should we call the police?"

"Do you dare call the police?"

The middle-aged man immediately stood up, put one foot on the edge of the latrine bucket, and said, "You dare call the police? I'll grab the bucket and rush in and splash it all over you, you believe me?"

"Gan!"

Faye Chaochen immediately whispered to me, "Boss, just unleash a psionic storm and kill this bastard?"

"Don't."

I shook my head and said in the game voice chat, "If players kill civilians in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom city, their reputation level will be directly judged as hateful, and there's no need to solve the problem that way."

As I spoke, I turned to Chen Xiaoman and said, "Sister Xiaoman, today is the first day of our WHL event, let's not let this person ruin it. Go to the counter and give him 3."

"it is good!"

Chen Xiaoman hurriedly went to get the money.

"Ding Han..."

Lu Xiaobei turned to look at me, expressing dissatisfaction with my handling of the situation. She probably felt that it was too lenient on this scoundrel.

"rest assured."

I smiled faintly and said nothing.

"Ding Han".

Chen Xiaoman then came out with 30,000 yuan in her hand.

I took the money and threw it to the man, frowning as I said, "Here's 30,000 yuan. This is to make up the difference for you. Take the money and get out of here with your manure bucket. Don't come back again."

"Humph……"

He quickly stuffed the money into his pocket, bent down to pick up the manure bucket, and before leaving, he turned back and glared fiercely at Lu Xiaobei.

"Ugh...he even dared to glare at me! I'm so angry!"

Lu Xiaobei was about to explode on the spot.

"calm!"

I grabbed her shoulder and then gave Fatty, Cai Cai, and the others a look, saying, "Follow us?"

"okay!"

The group immediately understood.

……

The alley was pitch black.

The man put down the manure bucket, took out 30,000 yuan from his pocket, and his face was full of joy.

But just then, figures fell from the wall with a series of "whoosh" sounds.

Feed him shit!
