9: It’s not that we can’t afford eggs, but that free ones are more cost-effective.

After Li Youqian and the System's "friendly" negotiation, Li Youqian finally got 3,000 yuan, a 10% bonus more than the original 2,500 yuan.

This 10% profit was hard-won; Li Youqian pulled out his ultimate trump card—

"System, you still owe me over a hundred thousand!"

Only then did the System reluctantly concede a 10% profit.

"You skinflint of a System, you're so stingy, you should go look at the neighbors' Systems; they give out billions in rewards right off the bat."

"And they don't just give background; rewards can also be cashed out. What good are you?"

"You're truly the worst System I've ever had!"

The System was about to retort, but the words caught in its throat; what this guy said actually made a little sense.

He had only ever been bound to one System, himself; wasn't he, then, the worst System?

Victory.

This confrontation ended with Li Youqian making a small profit, and the System seemingly taking a small loss.

(System: "Heh heh, I tricked the host again, how great. This sucker probably doesn't know I don't charge a single cent in handling fees for his withdrawals.")

This time, the System seemed to be at the bottom layer, but in reality, it was in the stratosphere.

With money in his pocket, Li Youqian naturally wanted to splurge a little.

Li Youqian went to the supermarket at the entrance of his community and, with great extravagance, ordered a box of ham sausages, five catties of eggs, plus two boxes of instant noodles!

From now on, Mr. Li's instant noodles would not only have sausage but also eggs!

Fortunately, Li Youqian had served in the army before, and after his discharge, he worked as a Five-Star General at Country Garden for two years, so his physical fitness was still decent; otherwise, with these three boxes of goods plus five catties of eggs, he might not have been able to carry them all back.

"Good news! Great news! Biyue Tang is having a grand opening promotion! The first 20 customers each day will receive 3 catties of eggs for free, first come, first served."

3 catties of eggs!

According to the current market price, one catty of eggs is 5 yuan, so three catties would be 15 yuan. This pharmacy owner is truly a good person!

On his way home, Li Youqian heard the small promotional advertisement for the pharmacy's opening and immediately felt his limbs stiffen and his body go weak.

"I haven't gone for a morning run in a long time. Tomorrow morning, I must go for a couple of laps and pick up some medicine at the pharmacy."

As soon as this thought emerged in Li Youqian's mind, the two little figures in his head immediately started fighting.

Little Man in White: "You are the dignified owner of a God-tier Tycoon System; how can you be greedy for such a small advantage?"

Little Man in Black: "You're full of crap! Am I doing it for those mere three catties of eggs? I'm clearly doing this to take care of my body!"

Little Man in White: "Bah! I think you just want those three catties of eggs! Don't make excuses for yourself!"

Little Man in Black: "I * * *, you * * know nothing!"

The Little Man in Black instantly launched a sneak attack, knocking the Little Man in White to the ground with a set of lightning-fast five-consecutive whips.

Little Man in White: "You have no martial ethics! I advise you to reconsider!"

Little Man in Black: "Get lost, you *! What brand of trash bag are you, so full of yourself."

KO!

Whether in words or in combat, the Little Man in Black was completely victorious.

It's not that he can't afford eggs at five yuan a catty, but that free ones are more cost-effective.

After eating his luxurious instant noodles at noon, Li Youqian contentedly pulled out his phone and opened lolm, which he hadn't logged into for a long time.

He had once reached the Challenger tier in the V server, dominating the canyon with his jungler Lee Sin, and many girls would whine, asking to be carried.

Later, due to busy work (guarding the gate for residents), he stopped logging into the game.

Now, after not playing for a long time and with continuous season updates, his rank had dropped to Gold 3.

Soon after logging in, Li Youqian received a friend request.

Xiao Xin: "Huh~ You're actually online? The missing person has returned?"

Li Youqian still had some impression of Xiao Xin; this was a noob mid-laner he had encountered when he was playing ranked.

Back then, her Annie's 0/6/2 performance, with a flash into the wall and a misplaced ultimate, made Li Youqian curse loudly.

Only after Li Youqian had finished cursing and venting his anger did he hear continuous sobbing.

(When a person is enraged, they will unconsciously block out some sounds...)

As soft and adorable apologies came through, Li Youqian immediately slapped himself.

"I'm really despicable!"

To express his apology, Li Youqian proactively added Xiao Xin as a friend and then carried her in games for a long time.

The two gradually became close friends who could talk about anything, but their communication was always in the game; they never added each other on WeChat.

Li Youqian scrolled up and found that in the past two years, Xiao Xin had sent 999+ messages, containing all sorts of content.

However, before he could even start reading, Xiao Xin invited him to play a game together.

"Rich Brother! Where have you been these past two years?"

"You didn't really go in for 're-education,' did you?"

Li Youqian's game ID was "Im Really Rich"; back then, he wasn't exactly destitute, but he wasn't very wealthy either, which is why he chose that name.

As for the "re-education" joke, it was because Xiao Xin used to often tease him, saying that if he robbed a bank, he would immediately become rich.

"Bah! You're the one who went in for 're-education'!"

"These past two years, I've struck it rich, brother~ I work for a Fortune 500 company, and many people have to curry favor with me to get things done, otherwise, I won't even let them in."

(Country Garden was indeed a Fortune 500 company, and being a security guard counts as working for Country Garden, right~ As for the latter part... don't delivery drivers and couriers have to curry favor with him?)

"Really, brother? Then, brother, send me a 'Bixin Rabbit' to show off your strength."

Xiao Xin burst out laughing. Rich Brother was still the same as before, so fond of bragging.

"Bixin Rabbit? Who are you looking down on? It should at least be a full set of Ma Huacheng."

"Bixin Rabbit? Are you looking down on your brother?"

"Xiao Xin, send me your live stream name. Today, brother must show you what true strength is."

Xiao Xin was clearly joking; if she wanted to get votes, she definitely wouldn't have said "Bixin Rabbit."

"Alright, I'm live streaming on Douyin; my name is Xiao Xin."

"Rich Brother, I forgot to tell you, I'm live streaming right now."

The girl's voice, full of laughter, came through. Hmph, this guy hasn't forgotten when he cursed at me before, has he?

And this jerk, he left without a word two years ago, without any news at all. This will be a small lesson for him~

However, Xiao Xin was destined to be mistaken.

Who is Li Youqian? Although he is poor in reality, he is a wealthy person who spends money like water online.

The girl in the live stream had a pure face like water, her eyes were clear and bright, like a clear mountain spring, without any impurities, a head of black beautiful hair draped over her back, and her skin was fair, glowing with a translucent luster.

If one were to describe her in a single word, it would be "white moonlight" itself.
