“Everyone has their own aspirations, so don’t force yourself, Lao Bai!”
Qian Jiahui, because his family was wealthy, didn’t have to worry about others’ feelings. He did whatever he wanted, but that didn’t mean he was a low emotional intelligence idiot.
Xu Daguan didn’t care how eloquent his words were. In essence, he wanted to use Lin Baici as a cash cow to make money from him.
Qian Jiahui wouldn’t help with this kind of favor!
Because even blood brothers keep accounts, let alone Lin Baici and Xu Daguan’s relationship hasn’t reached that point yet.
“Qian Ge!”
Xu Daguan had a bitter face, as if his expression was saying, “I’m taking care of Lin Baici, why doesn’t he appreciate it?”
“If Lao Bai wants to eat this meal, he should have started working on the second video when the first video became popular. But look at what he’s doing?”
He often stays out all night, even more than himself.
Qian Jiahui believed that he had learned some skills from his father in judging people, but he couldn’t see through Lin Baici.
“Lao Bai, do you know that this may be the only chance in your life!”
Upon hearing Qian Jiahui’s words, Xu Daguan sighed. He yearned to create a popular work and become a top-tier video blogger, but it was always out of reach. Lin Baici had obtained it but didn’t cherish it.
Frustrating.
“Since Lao Bai doesn’t want to be an internet celebrity, don’t force him!”
Liu Yu persuaded, thinking that Lin Baici should just go and have fun, regardless of whether he could succeed in the future. At least for this opportunity, he hoped that Lin Baici wouldn’t let it slip away.
“Making videos is too tiring!”
Lin Baici made up an excuse.
He used to want to be a video blogger because he thought this industry could make money and get rich easily. But now he didn’t need money anymore. He could easily sell one of his divine taboos and make at least ten million.
Besides, exploring God’s Ruins was very exciting. The adrenaline rush was amazing.
“Tiring?”
Xu Daguan was speechless.
My dog can randomly hit a few keys on the keyboard and make better videos than yours.
Lin Baici’s chanting videos had a monotonous background image, just two or three Buddha statues, and the sound quality was also terrible. It was all supported by “chanting.”
Thinking of this, Xu Daguan felt as if he had been drowned in lemon water.
He was sour all over.
Why doesn’t heaven give me a mouthful of food to eat?
Lin Baici finished washing up and went to bed.
He had too many secrets. Living in a dormitory was inconvenient, and the environment was terrible, especially Xu Daguan’s stinky feet.
It was really annoying.
After obtaining the Divine Enchantment, Lin Baici’s sense of smell had become enhanced. He could smell scents that ordinary people couldn’t.
Even if the six-person dormitory was cleaned very well, it still wasn’t as comfortable as living alone.
Lin Baici decided that after getting closer to Gu Qingxiang, he would move out.
There were generally a few topics that boys could talk about.
Games, international affairs, women, and a ball sport.
Lin Baici’s interest in these things had faded. He wanted to talk about God’s Ruins, but his roommates definitely wouldn’t understand.
So he could only browse the Origin Forum.
He searched for “Crazy Maid” and found many posts. Lin Baici read a few of them, but they were all hearsay and bragging. The posters clearly hadn’t personally experienced it.
There were also people posting about buying divine taboos related to Crazy Maid. Some said they wanted to collect the maids’ clothes, especially black stockings, which were more expensive than white ones. They were also open to negotiations.
These posters seemed like perverts, but Lin Baici knew that they were knowledgeable. They obviously wanted to trick someone into selling them a pair of stockings.
“Who would be stupid enough to sell it to you?”
Lin Baici muttered, then realized,
No, it’s possible that someone obtained the white stockings of Crazy Maid from someone else but didn’t know its effect. So they might sell it.
Lin Baici arranged the posts in chronological order and found the hottest one, which was posted yesterday and claimed to reveal detailed information about Crazy Maid.
Lin Baici clicked on it and found that the post was hidden. It required a payment of one million to view.
“…”
Lin Baici was astonished. Can they do that?
He looked at the poster’s ID, “Giant.” Lin Baici inexplicably thought of the dwarf who had explored God’s Ruins with him.
Then he looked at the number of buyers, eleven.
There were still some rich fools.
Lin Baici immediately sent a message to Xia Hongyao.
Lin Xia Dai Yue: Have you seen the hidden post about Crazy Maid on the Origin Forum? It costs one million to view.
Xia Hongyao was obviously playing with her phone and immediately replied.
Great Detective Xia: Yes, I’ve seen it. One million is just the threshold for screening targets. Then the poster will privately contact the buyers and trade the information about Crazy Maid for Meteor Coins.
Lin Xia Dai Yue: Can it be done like this?
Great Detective Xia: This person is money-hungry and doesn’t care about their life. In the Origin Forum, not all information can be sold. If you’re not careful, you might get yourself into trouble.
Lin Xia Dai Yue: Is it okay to answer questions in the Help section?
Lin Baici suddenly felt a little worried.
Great Detective Xia: Earning tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pocket money is fine. But this person is obviously abnormal. Just wait and see, within three days, they’ll definitely be banned.
Do the moderators really not do their job!
Lin Xia Dai Yue: Understood.
Lin Baici scrolled down the page to read the replies. Some were criticizing the poster for seeking attention, some were curious, and some were just spamming. When he was about to scroll further down, the post disappeared.
“The post you’re trying to view has been deleted due to a violation of the forum rules!”
“The poster’s account, as well as the account that gave them the invitation code, have been banned!”
“Please take this as a warning and cherish your own accounts!”
These three sentences were displayed in large red text on the blank page.
This poster must be one of the survivors from the Dragon and Beauty Bar yesterday.
Speaking of which, I should be the person who knows Crazy Maid the best, right?
The taste of the maid’s red lips was still on my mouth.
Actually, if you think about it from a different perspective, this white stocking is like a ticket to see Crazy Maid, isn’t it?After running out of Meteor Coins, I can sell some tickets to gather people who want to meet the crazy maid.
Of course, life and death are up to fate, and I don’t care.
Lin Baici casually searched for the other six wonders.
They were the library administrator, mailman Malong, Paradise Cinema, Black Knight, wandering merchant, and headless bride.
Among them, there were the most posts related to the headless bride.
Lin Baici couldn’t help but laugh. What kind of monsters and demons were lurking on the Origin Forum?
Your XP system obviously has problems!
Lin Baici clicked into the help section.
The post asking how to activate the urinal had increased in price, but Lin Baici had no intention of answering it. He would wait a bit longer, maybe the price would go up.
As for the post he answered about the “guessing picture,” although it hadn’t been settled yet, the time for help had been shortened to one week.
But Lin Baici wasn’t in a hurry to get this small amount of money.
Lin Baici looked at the ID of the person who posted the thread, “Praise the Sun.” He estimated that the other party would probably post similar help threads again, but he didn’t plan to answer them.
One must know how to hide their abilities.
…
Gaul, the outskirts of Paris!
In a villa.
A middle-aged man smoked a cigarette, his brows furrowed. He held his phone in his left hand, pressed against his ear.
Soon, the call connected.
“Is the matter resolved?”
A confident voice came through.
“Ninth Uncle, can you tell me what you really want to do?”
On the middle-aged man’s left index finger, there was a emerald ring that shimmered with a mysterious color in the dark room.
“Hehe, what’s wrong? Are you constipated and in a bad mood lately?”
The Ninth Uncle teased.
“The two people I sent to investigate that Lin Baici are dead!”
This middle-aged man was the captain of the Lost Coast, nicknamed Black Sea God. He couldn’t help but get angry. It was fine if the mechanical tuna died, but Chen Fujiang was his trusted subordinate whom he had known for ten years. He died in Haijing.
“Oh!”
The Ninth Uncle responded calmly.
“Is that your answer?”
Black Sea God suppressed his anger, not wanting to shout. After all, the person on the other end of the line was not only his big client but also the owner of the Hong Kong Kowloon Hall, a dominant figure who could call the shots.
“Old Black, the dead cannot be resurrected. Grieve.”
The Ninth Uncle consoled.
“Fuck you!”
Black Sea God couldn’t hold back. Although he was ruthless, he was still good to his subordinates. The Ninth Uncle insulted him.
“Don’t beat around the bush. Tell me, what’s the deal with this Lin Baici? I’ve sent people to find Ma Yuan in Qiantang, and he said the clay puppet has been destroyed. Why are you still relentless?”
The Ninth Uncle knew he couldn’t hide it anymore, and he still needed the Lost Coast to do some dirty work. So he confessed, “He obtained an ancestral divine corpse!”
“What?”
Black Sea God was shocked and suddenly realized, “It was hidden in the clay puppet all along?”
No wonder the Ninth Uncle wanted this divine taboo.
Black Sea God had been wondering why this thing, which seemed ordinary, was worth the Ninth Uncle spending a fortune to get the Lost Coast involved. Now he understood.
The Kowloon Hall was a key target of the Nine Provinces Security Bureau in Hong Kong. Once they took action, they would immediately be under surveillance. But if the Lost Coast took action, it wouldn’t attract attention.
If it weren’t for this unexpected appearance of Lin Baici, the ancestral divine corpse would already be in the hands of the Ninth Uncle.
Thinking of this, Black Sea God’s expression changed, and he decided to personally go to Haijing.
That was the ancestral divine corpse.
It was worth taking a risk.
Since the appearance of the God’s Ruins thirty years ago, most of the contained divine corpses were just some muscle tissues that had lost their vitality.
But the ancestral divine corpse was different. It was said that they were still alive, perhaps because they came from the most primitive gods.
Regardless, this thing was much more precious than ordinary divine corpses.
Black Sea God understood that the owner of the Kowloon Hall telling him this big secret definitely had ulterior motives, but the temptation was great enough to warrant a trip to Haijing.
Even if I have to mobilize the entire Lost Coast.
“Help me bring back the ancestral divine corpse, and I’ll double the commission I promised you before!”
The Ninth Uncle proposed.
“Okay!”
Black Sea God hung up the phone after saying that.
Anyone who believed this would be a fool.
Next, it’s up to each person’s abilities.
And that Lin Baici, he actually killed four members of my team. I will make you understand the consequences of provoking Black Sea God.
Black Sea God called each member of his team, asking them to gather in Haijing and make a big move during this National Day!
…
Buenos Aires, a seaside villa.
A middle-aged man with short hair, bare-chested, sat on the sofa. After putting down his phone, he picked up the building blocks on the coffee table and continued to assemble them.
There were some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and his hair was turning gray, but it didn’t make him look old. Coupled with his narrow phoenix eyes, he gave off a strong and charming uncle vibe.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The Ninth Uncle’s hands moved. Because of his speed, afterimages were left behind.
Three minutes later,
The pile of scattered building blocks on the coffee table had been assembled into a large octopus.
“You lost!”
The Ninth Uncle smiled slightly and placed the large octopus on the coffee table.
Across from him was a man in his thirties, only wearing underwear. He was kneeling on the ground, anxiously and hurriedly assembling the building blocks. When he heard the Ninth Uncle’s words, he suddenly panicked.
“Ninth Uncle, give me another chance, I beg you.”
The man pleaded.
“I’ve already given you one!”
The Ninth Uncle crossed one leg and took out a box of Marlboro cigarettes. With a flick of his wrist, a cigarette appeared.
He held it in his mouth and pulled it out of the box.
Snap!
The cigarette was lit, and the Ninth Uncle took a deep drag. “You chose this game!”
“I… I…”
The man didn’t expect that even with the activation of divine grace in his best game of building blocks, he still couldn’t win.
“Remember, anyone can be deceived, but not me, Ninth Uncle!”Uncle Nine exhaled a puff of smoke, pointed at the freshly assembled octopus head with his finger, and stood up to leave.
Seeing Uncle Nine turn his back to him, the man was immediately filled with malicious intent, preparing to make a move. However, before he could fully stand up, the octopus on the coffee table suddenly swelled and shot out six tentacles, piercing through the man’s body like sharp arrows, then forcefully yanked.
Splash!
The man was torn apart by the octopus, his blood and internal organs splattering all over the floor.
Uncle Nine left, casually closing the door behind him.
“Lin Baici?”
Uncle Nine looked up at the azure sky. The Black Sea God should be on his way to Haijing, right?
You better not die before I get back!
I think it would be more interesting to snatch the Ancestor God’s body from your hands than from the Lost Coast.
Oh dear!
It’s been a long time since a stunningly talented newcomer has appeared in Jiuzhou. Ying Baili is one, but unfortunately, he’s Xia Hongmian’s dog. I prefer the wild ones!
So, Lin Baici, don’t disappoint me. Bite back fiercely!
……
A new week began, filled with meals, classes, and glances at girls. Life was ordinary yet warm.
Just before one o’clock in the afternoon, the students of Software Engineering Class 01 had all rushed to Room 2003 in Building C.
Gu Qingxiang arrived ten minutes early. Seeing that all the students had arrived, she announced the start of the first class meeting for Class 01.
“Today’s agenda is to elect class representatives!”
Gu Qingxiang wrote positions such as class president, party branch secretary, and study committee member on the blackboard.
“Anyone who wants to take on a position, feel free to speak up. Don’t be afraid. We’re in college now, we should strive to make a good start!”
Gu Qingxiang encouraged.
“I’ve noticed that our counselor is actually quite pretty, but her dressing style is too outdated. Look at this skirt, even my dog wouldn’t wear it!”
Xu Daguan was speechless.
A grey long skirt that covered her ankles, and a small jacket as a top. What era’s style was this?
“Does the counselor have a boyfriend?”
Liu Yu was curious, “What are her hobbies?”
Liu Yu wanted to get on good terms with Gu Qingxiang.
“I’m not sure. She just started working as a counselor at Haijing University of Technology. Not many people know her, so we can’t gather much information yet!”
Xu Daguan had tried several times to get close to Gu Qingxiang and give her small gifts, but he was always rejected.
Gu Qingxiang waited for a few minutes, but no one responded.
“It seems everyone is a bit shy. Let’s start with the class president!”
Gu Qingxiang looked at the students, “Anyone who wants to be the class president, please come up and give a speech!”
Whoosh!
Everyone looked at Lin Baici.
In everyone’s eyes, the position of class president was undoubtedly Lin Baici’s.
Not only did he stand out by singing Buddhist scriptures at the welcome party, but he also shot a mad dog during the military training performance.
His heroic demeanor was unparalleled.
Moreover, during military training, Lin Baici had bought water for everyone. Although it was a small favor, everyone remembered it.
Seeing everyone looking at Lin Baici, Gu Qingxiang smiled and encouraged, “Lin, it seems that everyone has already chosen in their hearts. Are you willing to serve everyone?”
“If anyone needs anything in the future, whether it’s money or effort, I can provide it. But I’ll pass on the position of class president. I’m not used to being a leader. I’m afraid I’ll become arrogant and distant from you all!”
Lin Baici declined.
Everyone laughed at Lin Baici’s humorous response, and the class atmosphere instantly lightened and became harmonious.
“Old Bai, you’re too modest.”
Someone shouted, it was from the neighboring dormitory.
“Old Bai, hurry up, get crowned as king, we’re waiting to cheer for you!”
Zhang Zhixu looked like a brute, but he was exceptionally humorous.
“You’re not a leader, you’re everyone’s servant. Be quick and give your speech!”
Only Qian Jiahui dared to joke with Lin Baici like this.
Seeing Lin Baici’s popularity, Liu Yu was annoyed. If he doesn’t want to be the president, let someone else do it. Why force someone who’s unwilling?
Lin Baici shook his head again.
How could someone like him, who often stays out all night, set a good example? Besides, he was planning to move out soon.
Clap! Clap!
Gu Qingxiang clapped her hands, “Since Lin Baici doesn’t want to, does anyone else want to be the class president?”
Pei Fei looked around, stood up, and walked towards the podium.
Everyone immediately looked over.
Lin Baici clapped, and seeing this, everyone else started clapping too.
Pei Fei’s nervous heart relaxed a bit due to the applause.
She obviously had prepared a speech. Although she was nervous and slightly stuttered, she still managed to recite it.
“Anyone else?”
Gu Qingxiang wrote Pei Fei’s name on the blackboard.
Liu Yu took a deep breath, stood up, puffed out his chest, and walked towards the podium with what he considered a perfect posture.
“Dear classmates, my name is Liu Yu……”
Liu Yu’s speech was more substantial than Pei Fei’s.
For example, he promised to seek benefits for the class, and once he joined the student union, he would try to get more people in. He would fight for work-study opportunities for impoverished students to alleviate their financial burden, and he would organize social events……
“This guy came prepared!”
Fang Mingyuan was surprised.
Xu Daguan sneered, thinking you’re just realizing this now? Among all the people in the dormitory, Liu Yu is the most scheming one.
