277: So easy

“Isn’t this the song from that plane crash? The one about Prison Boss, it’s really popular on short video platforms.”

“What kind of nonsense is that? You spend all day watching those meaningless short videos, no wonder you’re so useless! No ambition.”

“I call this being content with what I have!”

Li Dad said proudly, but Li Mom gave him a look of disdain.

In reality, not only was Li Wenzhe a cynical rich second-generation, his father, Li Chenshu, was the same.

However, in front of his children, he always pretended to be a successful businessman.

But his own elders, including his wife, knew that he was a good-for-nothing who only relied on the family’s old money from Grandpa Li.

Every day at the company, he had nothing else to do but open his phone and scroll through short videos or play mobile games.

With such a lack of dedication, it was no wonder that Grandpa Li was so eager to cultivate a top-tier expert in the Forbidden Zone as the successor for the next generation of the Li family.

After all, all the main accounts were ruined, so he could only open a new small account to train!

“What is that noise? Why does it sound like it’s coming from upstairs in our house?”

Li Chenshu listened to the melodious tune coming from above his head, a look of confusion on his face.

Their bedroom was on the third floor, and above that was the roof, so logically there shouldn’t be anyone there.

However, the next second, Li Chenshu seemed to realize something and immediately lost his temper.

“Who the hell is watching short videos on my roof?!”

“How could there be anyone on the roof? Look how silly you are!”

Li Mom glared at him, annoyed.

“Then what’s going on?”

“Why don’t you go up and see for yourself?”

Listening to the music coming from above, Li Chenshu was puzzled. Not only did the music not stop, but it was getting louder?

This was one of the most upscale neighborhoods in Haibei City, how could anyone do something so inconsiderate?

Amidst his confusion, Li Chenshu quickly changed his clothes, preparing to go up to the roof to check.

“Oh, right, where’s Li Wenzhe?”

“He’s still in the Forbidden Zone, I think.”

“This kid is really hardworking! It looks like he inherited your genes. At this rate, he might actually achieve something in the Forbidden Zone.”

“Alright, alright, you go and see what’s going on.”

Li Chenshu looked pleased, then headed towards the roof.

......

“Current location: Longbow Creek Valley - radar station.”

“Current drop rate: Normal”

“Current game end time: 3 minutes 21 seconds”

“Hint: Please complete evacuation before time runs out!”

Inside the Forbidden Zone.

Li Wenzhe and his party searched several areas, and they were very satisfied with the gains from this round.

With Xiao Yun no longer interfering, Li Wenzhe had directly entered with a big red packet.

After entering, he first looted a set of Hafk’s equipment and weapons, which was already tens of thousands in profit.

Then, picking up two small blue and small purple items found by his escorts to fill his backpack, the profit immediately reached over five hundred thousand!

In a normal difficulty run of Longbow Creek Valley, bringing out 100,000 in supplies was already considered an outstanding achievement in the Forbidden Zone.

Li Wenzhe had been doing knife runs for a while, and although he had the protection of two Diamond Level escorts, his luck had been bad before, at most bringing out two to three hundred thousand.

After familiarizing himself with the Forbidden Zone’s mechanics, Li Wenzhe directly brought in a purple large magazine pouch and a big red packet, easily fitting 500,000 in supplies, and his mood immediately brightened.

“Hahaha, 500,000 in supplies isn’t that hard after all!”

Walking along the path, Li Wenzhe laughed loudly.

If he had known that extracting 500,000 was so easy, why would he have gone to such great lengths before?

He should have treated the two escorts not as people, but as beasts of burden, making them hand over everything they found.

“Extracting 500,000 has never been that hard, it was mainly just bad luck before.”

“Yes, yes, before, we kept encountering strange situations in the Forbidden Zone. Now, this is the normal level.”

“Sigh, I also have to say, it’s all thanks to the boss’s wisdom and excellent command!”

“Yes, yes, Brother Li is awesome!”

The two escorts also praised him, flattering Li Wenzhe until he was practically a fetus.

In just these few days since arriving in the Dragon Country, these two foreigners with thick eyebrows and big eyes had also learned how to navigate social situations, a testament to the wisdom of their ancestors.

And in these past few days, the two escorts bringing Li Wenzhe into the Forbidden Zone had yielded decent profits.

Although they couldn't yet meet the insurance amount in a short time, their performance satisfied Li Wenzhe, meaning their livelihoods were secure.

Otherwise, if Li Wenzhe were to give them a bad review, how could they continue as escorts?

As people from Lighthouse Country, they still wanted to take on big international contracts in the future, so their reputation couldn't be ruined like this.

“Alright, let’s go!”

With that, Li Wenzhe prepared to end this match and head to the extraction point.

And just then.

His phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and Li Wenzhe quickly answered the call.

He had initially thought it was a message from Xiao Yun, but to his utter surprise, it was his own father calling.

“What’s going on? Why is this old man calling me instead of sleeping?”

“Brother Li, you should still answer it, what if something’s wrong?”

Seeing Li Wenzhe about to hang up without a word, the two escorts quickly advised him.

Although they served Li Wenzhe, the real patron was his father!

Naturally, the two of them dared not neglect Li Chenshu, fearing they might displease him.

“Hello?”

“You brat, hurry up and come home! Look what you’ve done, you’ve woken up your mother!”

From the other end of the phone came Li Chenshu’s somewhat angry voice.

Li Wenzhe was immediately shocked. His parents had always been calm and never got angry.

What had happened that even his father was angry!

“Dad, what’s going on?”

“You’re still asking! Let me ask you, did your Grandpa give you money? Where did you get this helicopter?”

“Ah!? Helicopter??”

“It’s one thing to get a helicopter, but you’re also playing that Lao, that… music! Do you want to deafen our neighbors?!”

“What music?”

“You hurry back and explain yourself properly!”

Beep, beep, beep—

The other side hung up the phone.

Upon hearing this, Li Wenzhe was first stunned, then a handsome face flashed through his mind.

Xiao Yun!

No, he really parked the helicopter on his roof!
