24: Chapter 24 I really want to be corrupted by money.
"Guoguo, we haven't seen each other for 3,662 minutes."
"Guoguo, I really miss you."
"Guoguo, what should we name our children in the future? Li Fugui for a boy and Li Cuihua for a girl?"
"Guoguo..."
Just as Li Youqian was continuously spewing cheesy pick-up lines,
The air in front of Li Youqian suddenly rippled. Zhang Qingcheng appeared out of thin air, clutching two daggers, and lunged directly at his chest.
Clang!
Zhang Qingcheng's assassination failed. A ring on Li Youqian's finger lit up, and a golden light flashed across his body, firmly blocking the daggers in mid-air.
Seeing this, Zhang Qingcheng's face showed no surprise; she quickly retreated to maintain her distance.
Li Youqian, however, was all smiles. He shook the fat on his belly and said smugly, "Little sister-in-law, we haven't met in two days. Did you miss Brother Youqian?"
"Also, take some advice from Brother Youqian: girls shouldn't be all about fighting and killing. Find a good man to marry, stay at home, and be a housewife raising kids. Wouldn't that be great?"
"Bah!"
Hearing these words, Zhang Qingcheng almost vomited.
"Who's your little sister-in-law? Li Youqian, stop being so disgusting, alright!"
Li Youqian ignored her words and looked around as if searching for something.
"Where's your sister Guoguo? I haven't seen her in two days and I miss her. Also, I heard you've teamed up with a group from Canghai City?"
"Sigh, if you ask me, it's all a waste of effort. Once Brother Youqian makes his move, that team will just hand over their points obediently anyway."
As soon as he finished speaking,
Li Mumu's group appeared one after another, facing off against Li Youqian's gang.
"Li Youqian! You dead fat otaku, don't call me Guoguo! Call me that again and I'll kill you!"
Zhang Qingguo had heard his conversation with her sister from a distance, and her stomach turned with disgust. As soon as she stood firm, she roared at Li Youqian.
Hearing this, Li Youqian wasn't angry; instead, he wore an expression of enjoyment, looking a bit like a pervert.
"Oh, hitting is a sign of affection, and scolding is a sign of love. Hitting and scolding... Guoguo, just how much do you love me!"
Zhang Qingguo clutched her head and wailed, "I can't take it! Li Youqian, you bastard! Fuck your mother, fuck your ancestors..."
Zhang Qingguo was furious, completely disregarding her lady-like image. Her mouth was full of profanity, greeting at least eighteen generations of Li Youqian's ancestors.
As Li Youqian listened, his brow furrowed, and he said somewhat unhappily, "Guoguo, it's fine if you fuck me, but doing it to others is cheating. I can't accept that."
Liu Lin: "..."
Dongfang Xue: "..."
Wang Baobao: "..."
Li Mumu: "..."
Hearing these worldview-shattering words, Li Mumu turned to look at the top-tier 'driver' Sister Baoer and couldn't help but think: "Do people from big families always play this pervertedly?!"
At this moment, Dongfang Xue stepped forward, her gaze piercing as she stared at Li Youqian. She said coldly, "Are you that 'Landlord' who bullies men and women? The captain of the number one team on the points leaderboard, Li Youqian?"
"Bullying men and women?" Li Youqian rubbed his chin, the gemstone ring on his finger sparkling so brightly that Dongfang Xue's beautiful eyes kept darting away. "Even though I'm very rich and handsome, I'm a devoted and loyal man. Beautiful lady, where does this talk of bullying come from?"
Dongfang Xue sneered and pointed at the long queue of people nearby. "You fatass, you're lying through your teeth. These people are evidence of you bullying men, and Qingguo is the victim of your attempted bullying of women."
Li Youqian scratched the back of his head and said with some distress, "Beautiful lady, if you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext."
With that, he turned to the Professionals in the long queue and raised an eyebrow. "Brothers and sisters, have I forced you?"
"No!"
"Have I used force to threaten you?"
"No!"
"Are you here voluntarily?"
"Yes!"
"Who else has a dream!!!"
"I do!!!"
Looking at the row of people excited to the point of tears, Li Mumu lamented in his heart: "I really want to join them too. Sigh, what's wrong with being a salted fish? Isn't it good to just lie flat?"
"Beautiful lady, how about this."
Li Youqian lit a new cigar, took a deep drag, and blew heart-shaped smoke toward Zhang Qingguo. Then he said to Dongfang Xue with a smile, "I'll open a VIP channel for your team. You won't have to queue to trade for dreams. 1 point for 2,000 Crystal Coins. What do you think? Deal or no deal?"
1 point = 2,000 Crystal Coins.
1,000 points = 2 million Crystal Coins.
After doing the mental math, Li Mumu's mouth unhelpfully salivated. Just selling 1,000 points would net two million Crystal Coins, and the remaining points would still be enough to take a top three spot. This was a guaranteed profit!
But business is all about haggling. How could they just accept 2,000 when the other party said 2,000?
Li Mumu straightened his collar and stepped forward with a slight smile. "Brother, we are the second-place team. 2,000 is a bit low. At least 3,000..."
"Deal!"
"No, at least 4,000 would match our status, right..."
"Deal!"
"5,000."
"Deal!"
"..."
"Enmmm."
Eight cold gazes appeared behind Li Mumu, making him shiver and break into a cold sweat.
"Xiao Mumu, what did you just say?!"
Li Mumu immediately raised his fist and shouted, "You fatass! I view money as dirt! We are determined to take first place and overthrow capitalism!"
"Sigh, indeed, heroes come from the youth. Actually, the moment I saw Sister Baoer, I knew money couldn't corrupt your team," Li Youqian said, shaking his head helplessly.
Li Mumu's eyes welled up. He thought to himself: Brother, I want to be corrupted! I have a dream!
But when Li Mumu turned his head, Sister Baoer was staring at him with narrowed eyes, her staff raised against him. So, Li Mumu continued to raise his fist and shout, "That's for sure! Down with the rich! Oppose arranged marriages! I am the coolest guy in Huaxia!"
"Nothing for it then." Li Youqian waved his hand at the four Talisman Masters under him and spread his arms. "In that case, let's settle this with our skills!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
The four Talisman Masters stepped in front of Li Youqian and said calmly, "Is it a duel or a brawl?!"
"A brawl, of course," Liu Lin said disdainfully. "The nine of us against you..."
Before he could finish, over twenty Professionals stepped out from the long queue and stood beside the Talisman Masters. Each one was tall and sturdy, not inferior to Liu Lin in physique.
Liu Lin: "..."
"Haha, just kidding. Li Youqian, if you have the guts, let's have a duel!"
Li Youqian waved his hand, and the twenty-plus Professionals returned to the queue.
"I'm not the type to bully with numbers. Five rounds of PK, best of three. The loser hands over their points."
"As for me, I won't participate and will take a direct loss. That means if you win against 2 people, you win the whole thing. Guoguo, how's that for a rule?"
"Hmph!"
Zhang Qingguo snorted coldly and turned her face away, but she knew in her heart that while Li Youqian wasn't much to look at, his character was irreproachable. He didn't bully the weak, was generous to friends, and was fair. It was just that his thinking was too traditional, which was the real reason she couldn't accept the arranged marriage.
