76: Chapter 76 I will definitely keep it a secret
After a long while, Ling Rui's tense little face relaxed, and she let out a sigh.
The master's mission was finally successfully completed.
She looked at the man sitting beside her with a mysterious smile and frowned.
She remembered that this man was a sycophant who used to play with her when they were children. His name seemed to be Lin something-bo.
"No matter what you think you have discovered, you are not allowed to go around telling everyone, or I will make you regret it!"
Ling Rui did not take him seriously. Even if he had discovered her little secret, so what? He had no evidence, and even if he told people, no one would believe him.
Could someone really pin down the apple of the Ling Family's eye right here and strip her to check?
After snorting, she got up and left.
Feeling a chill between her legs, she turned and headed toward the restroom.
This was a dimly lit corner; otherwise, Ling Rui would not have chosen this place to undergo her tribulation.
Lin Yongbo watched the Ling Family's little princess leave, feeling that her steps were somewhat hurried. It seemed she was shy.
"The way she looks when she's shy is quite cute, haha."
"The arrogant little princess of Lingshi Group loves to play an obscure little mobile game. It is indeed a very niche hobby, and I can understand why she doesn't want it exposed."
"Rest assured, this will become a little secret between the two of us."
He certainly wouldn't go around blabbing, letting others know about this "shortcut" he had accidentally discovered.
He turned his gaze back to the mobile game.
At this moment, in the game "three generals kill", it was bustling with activity. Many players staying up late were playing cards while watching the drama unfold on their phones.
Following the change of ownership in the arena, the mining area also quickly fell, and the Brotherhood's flag was raised in Luoyang once again.
And that was not all. After the veteran big shot Taowu flexed his power, another up-and-coming big shot, Qiongqi, appeared in the Brotherhood.
Just by looking at the name, one could tell he was a friend of the big shot Taowu.
As soon as this Qiongqi appeared, he dominated the announcements for a long time.
This time, Lin Yongbo topped up nearly fifty thousand yuan at once, receiving 622,080 Jade Orbs. A ten-pull costs 750 Jade Orbs.
This meant that just by clicking on the ten-pull option, he would have to click over 800 times to finish pulling.
And during the card-pulling process, it was inevitable that his luck would suddenly improve, allowing him to pull a feather.
The result of this was that a server-wide announcement would pop up every little while, and this continued for a long time.
This instantly gave him plenty of face in the server, making most people recognize him as the newly arrived wealthy boss.
He also activated the mining area privilege and went to the mining area to occupy Xuchang (another gold mine) all by himself.
Members of the Brotherhood logged on one after another. Having been suppressed for so long, they finally felt vindicated and eagerly took their seats in the mining areas occupied by the two big shots, happily mining for ingots.
There were even troublemakers constantly clamoring in the game channel.
"Why aren't the people from the Moyu Society coming out to mine?"
"Do they dare? I'll kill one every time one comes out!"
"They only know how to do sneaky things. If they have the guts, keep fighting the big shots!"
And the scene where Zhao Xiaoshuai's account logged on for a long time without saying a word, only to silently log off, further fueled their arrogance.
There are always people who like to act like bullies relying on others' power, but Lin Yongbo naturally wouldn't join them.
Depending on the situation, he might even backstab his good brother in the end.
After all, the brother might not care, but his wife would definitely be petty.
However, the noise in the game couldn't disturb Zhao Xiaoshuai for the time being.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because the outcome had already been written in his script.
This transformation card event lasts for two days, and the Lunar New Year event lasts for three days.
With the accumulation of 60 648-yuan packs every day, he had prepared a total of 3,110,400 Jade Orbs for this event, totaling nearly 300,000 in microtransactions.
Furthermore, there were over 170 multiplier cards obtained through task card packs as backup funds. Although he wanted to save them for the next game, he could top them up if necessary.
Theoretically, as long as he wasn't hopelessly unlucky, he should be able to complete the collection in any case.
He might even have many resources left over to sweep out the Spring Festival event shop.
A wealthy player who drops 300,000 on a single event is rare in this kind of small game.
He wouldn't redeem the items immediately after pulling the cards. Even though the event ended, the event shop could still be accessed.
He wanted to make it impossible for the enemy to judge his final strength. As long as he held out until the end of the event, no matter how much money they had, they would have to wait until the next transformation card event to catch up.
However, with a full 3,110,400 Jade Orbs, he would have to do the ten-pull over 4,000 times.
Even if he clicked to skip the animation every time, at five or six seconds per pull, it would take nearly six hours to finish.
However, he would leave this arduous and boring task to Xiao Sub to do.
The long night for some people was just the time for a sweet dream for Zhao Xiaoshuai.
Lunar New Year's Day, at Zhao Xiaoshuai's home.
"Old Third, Happy New Year."
"Second Brother, Happy New Year."
Although it is popular to visit relatives on Lunar New Year's Day, generally speaking, out of courtesy, the earliest is after ten o'clock.
Zhao Xiaoshuai's Second Uncle, however, knocked on their door before nine o'clock, carrying quite a few things to visit.
There looked to be quite a lot of things, but none of them were valuable.
Sure enough, after ten minutes of small talk, Second Uncle couldn't wait any longer.
"Old Third, my Huzi's marriage is just one step away. The woman's side won't budge; they insist on having enough for the down payment on the wedding house. I also know that your Xiao Shuai hasn't even..."
Father Zhao listened silently, and Mother Zhao didn't say much either.
When there were outsiders present, Mother Zhao still gave Father Zhao plenty of face, appearing as if he were the one who made all the big decisions.
Although Father Zhao had received the "private money" secretly given by Zhao Xiaoshuai, he couldn't expose it openly, and secondly, he couldn't lend it to his Second Brother so easily.
Human relationships and social etiquette are very complex things.
If you make it seem very easy, the favor you give becomes cheap, and people might even fail to appreciate it.
Father Zhao occasionally gave secret winks, but Second Uncle only thought he was trying to dodge the request, so he acted as if he didn't see them, his butt glued to the sofa as if it had taken root.
He had the air of "If you don't lend me this money today, I'm not leaving."
However, Father Zhao also knew his Second Brother's situation; he must have borrowed everywhere and had no other choice, which was why he was shamelessly making a scene here.
After talking him into leaving, Father Zhao accompanied him downstairs under the guise of seeing him off, only then managing to secretly transfer the money to him via mobile transfer.
A full one hundred thousand yuan, far exceeding the amount Second Uncle had asked to borrow.
"Xiaohu is getting married; he can't lose face, or he won't be able to hold his head high at home in the future. Take this money first. We are brothers; there's no rush to pay it back."
Second Uncle had been a little angry inside. He had thrown away his pride, running to his younger brother's house on the Lunar New Year, only to be almost kicked out.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized why his younger brother had been winking at him frequently just now—it was to avoid the eyes and ears of the tigress at home!
Seeing the transfer amount and hearing his younger brother's words, Second Uncle's eyes instantly turned red.
Only one's own brother is truly reliable!
A small sum of tens of thousands of yuan often involves the joys, sorrows, and futures of two or three families.
