Daily Summary: I'm a CEO in a Bizarre World
Chapter 77 Was it you who reported us at the last gathering?
The Sunshine Party House is quite large; Mai Xing estimates that the first floor is at least 100 square meters, and the apartments here are all duplexes, proving that there is a second floor as well.
There is a turnstile at the entrance that requires scanning a QR code to enter. A man wearing sunglasses, even indoors, stands guard at the door, seemingly acting as a security checkpoint.
In other places, Mai Xing would definitely consider a man's attire to be eccentric, sitting at the same table as Mo Shujing, who loves wearing hats indoors.
But considering that this is the gathering place of the followers of the "King of Lending," the person in charge of guarding it must be an extraordinary person who has mastered the "lending" method.
The price that man paid for gaining superhuman power must have been related to his eyes or nearby organs.
"This is a private party, please wait."
Despite being a follower of an evil god, the man in sunglasses politely dissuaded Mai Xing and his companion from entering, shattering his preconceived notions about followers of evil gods.
Identity verification, right? I understand.
Mai Xing immediately opened his arms, raised his chin, and said devoutly, "I offer everything..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man in sunglasses quickly stopped him: "Don't say things like that in public. There are security cameras in the hallway! Business card! Just show me your business card!"
"You should have said so earlier! You didn't even tell me the WeChat account you sent the notification to. What if I didn't bring my business cards?" Mai Xing complained, showing the business cards he received from a follower of "Loan King" on the street.
"Please come in." The man in sunglasses glanced at them and quickly waved, gesturing for Mai Xing and the other person to enter.
By this time, a lot of people had gathered in the party venue, playing the entertainment activities in groups of three or five. There were quite a few spectators gathered around the billiards table near the entrance.
"Do you think that superhumans who use the 'loan' method might get desperate during bets and offer something on the spot to win?"
Mai Xing glanced at the two players next to the pool table and teased them.
"They don't know, and I certainly don't," Ye Lin said coldly.
However, the number of followers of the evil god who attended the gathering was somewhat unexpected by Max.
In his imagination, the followers of the "Loan King" would give up parts of their bodies in exchange for supernatural power.
Even though there were some ordinary people in the area who had not yet acquired the power of "borrowing", only a minority of them could be identified as having physical disabilities at a glance; most of them were no different from ordinary people.
Mai Xing thought about it for a moment and immediately understood.
These people either sacrifice their organs or engage in a game of cat and mouse with their parents' family trees. Sacrificing less important parts like fingers and toes is probably not enough to gain the necessary power; at most, they might gain a small amount of sanity.
"Is this your first time attending a social gathering?"
At this moment, a man over 30 years old approached and struck up a conversation with Mai Xing and Mai Xing.
"Yeah, I ran into a colleague handing out business cards on the street yesterday and that's how I found out about these kinds of networking events among colleagues," Mai Xing nodded and said.
The man subtly sized them up, then introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Lu Zhan, Sequence 7, and I'm the organizer of this social gathering. Welcome, both of you."
"Ye Xing, Mai Lin, we are both Sequence 8." Mai Xing reciprocated with her "self-introduction".
His gaze swept over the text on the panel above Lu Zhan's head, and he knew this person was no ordinary individual.
[Lu Zhan]
Sequence: 6
[Potential: 54 (Maximum value 100)]
[Evaluation: This person is dishonest; recruiting him into the team will surely bring disaster.]
Old silver coins also conceal their true serial number.
However, it's normal for security personnel to be present at these kinds of social gatherings where anyone can just grab someone on the street; maybe they're checking identities.
"Those two are having a great time. We're all family, so there's no need to be reserved here," Lu Zhan said with a hearty laugh. He stopped talking to Mai Xing and walked towards another follower of the evil god who was not far away.
"He concealed his sequence; he's actually Sequence 6," Mai Xing whispered to Ye Lin after Lu Zhan had walked away.
"It's none of my business," Ye Lin said indifferently.
"That's true." Mai Xing agreed, and she and Ye Lin explored both floors of the party venue.
"These followers of evil gods are really poor. They put on a party like this and didn't even order a buffet of drinks?" Mai Xing couldn't help but complain.
Hearing this, Ye Lin also looked disappointed: "Exactly! I haven't had dinner yet, and I was thinking of having a big meal here. Don't invite me to these kinds of gatherings in the future."
The entertainment facilities in the party venues are quite varied, but they are all inexpensive, ready-made items such as darts, board games, basketball, and foosball tables.
The only thing of value was a game console surrounded by layers upon layers of people.
"What does Sister Lin like to play? Since we're already here, let's play a couple of rounds," Mai Xing suggested, but Ye Lin shook her head and refused, "I'm not interested."
The same applies to Maixing.
In his past life, when his company held team-building events at a party venue, he would mostly stay by the side of the boss and leaders, mainly providing emotional support, and rarely went to have fun on his own.
"Why don't we split up?" Mai Xing suggested.
"With your charm, Sister Lin, there must be a lot of repressed young men like Xiao Chu Nan who want to chat you up. Staying with me will make you miss a lot of opportunities."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sharp pain shot through his calf, followed by Ye Lin's sarcastic remark: "You're the one who wants to get rid of me and go meet younger girls, aren't you?"
"Stop your infighting! Just make some connections and then you're done. The food cafeteria will have to close down later." Mai Xing waved goodbye to her and walked towards the crowd gathered around the game console.
The game being played on the console was a four-player cooperative game, but the player kept making silly mistakes, causing the audience's blood pressure to spike.
"Number 3, get your tray! What are you doing, just standing there waiting for takeoff?"
"It's going to burn. Is it because Lao Ba loves to eat shit?"
"Food's ready... Damn! It's overtime again."
"If you can't do it, I'll do it. What a terrible shoddy operation!" Mai Xing shouted angrily as he squeezed into the crowd, naturally joining in the cursing.
After a whole month of high-pressure work and lack of entertainment, Mai Xing found it quite enjoyable to watch others play games. When she regained her sense of time, half an hour had passed.
Oh no, I forgot about the intelligence-gathering mission I promised Lin's mom.
Mai Xing was so troubled by a headache that she held her forehead.
However, through the interaction with the game, he became quite familiar with the cultists surrounding the game console.
At this moment, the young man sitting next to me sighed, "The party venues in Ideal District are still the best. The party we had in Ideal District a couple of months ago had four game consoles with a lot of the latest games."
"Could it be that they lowered the standard because they didn't have enough funds?" Mai Xing chimed in.
The young man shook his head and said, "Brother, is this your first time attending a social gathering? The police raided the place that night, and a lot of brothers were arrested. I haven't seen them attend any offline gatherings since."
What a sad story.
Mai Xing said angrily, "Damn the police department! We had a legal gathering, we didn't steal, cheat, or rob, so why were we arrested?"
"That's right, without our taxes, where would those security guards get their generous salaries?" the young man echoed indignantly.
If Mai Xing hadn't seen the text on the panel above his head, he would have really believed his nonsense:
Cao Zhenhui
Sequence: 8
[Potential: 60 (Maximum value 100)]
[Review: A righteous undercover police officer; may the will of the evil god never corrupt his heart]
Could it be that you were the one who reported that offline gathering in the Ideal Zone?
Wait, I won't redeem it!
Bad thoughts began to surface in my mind.
Mai Xing glanced sharply towards the entrance of the party venue, where footsteps and figures in uniforms had already appeared behind the entrance gate.
