Hong Kong Island, Stanley Prison, Cell A

"Big big!!!"

"One, two, three, six o'clock!"

"Holy crap, Quan, are you cheating? You opened eight small hands in a row..."

This scene, which should never happen in prison, is unfolding in the toilet of cell A.

Outside, apart from a few people in prison uniforms keeping watch, the remaining twenty or thirty people were surrounding Gao Ren.

"Chicken Ming!"

Among the twenty or thirty people surrounding Gao Ren, a thin, small fellow who clearly wasn't a good person heard Gao Ren call him.

He immediately came out with a big smile on his face.

"Brother Ren, what are your orders?"

"We're all brothers, why be so polite!"

After Gao Ren finished speaking, he snapped his fingers at Sha Biao behind him, who immediately took out five packs of cigarettes and handed them to him.

"Your family has already paid off the principal and interest on the money you borrowed from me."

"As for these five cartons of cigarettes, your family gave me an extra 10,000 yuan to take care of you!"

"According to the rules in the prison, two thousand yuan for a carton of cigarettes!"

"Money and goods settled, any problems?"

Upon hearing this, Chick Ming, who was holding a cigarette, immediately looked at Gao Ren with a grateful expression and said thank you.

"Brother Ren, everyone in Stanley knows your reputation!"

"Even if I, Chicken Ming, suspect my wife of cheating on me, I would never suspect you of swindling my money!"

Faced with the compliment, Gao Ren smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying...

"Come borrow from me again if you need it."

"Same old rule as always, nine out and thirteen back!"

"Yes, Brother Ren!"

"Ren-ge, I'm going to play a couple of rounds!"

Go!

Seeing that Chick Ming had just received his cigarettes, he immediately ran to the toilet to gamble a couple of times.

Gao Ren couldn't help but smile!

No matter what world you're in, gamblers and drug addicts are a bunch of hopeless bastards!

But then again, without these poisonous insects, how would Gao Ren have been able to exchange items in the system shop!

Gao Ren is not a native of this world.

Instead, they are people who traveled from Earth to this world where countless Hong Kong films have merged into one.

For example, the idiot who just handed Chick Ming a cigarette is the same idiot from the movie "Prison on Fire" on Blue Star.

Besides him, other triads like Hung Hing, Tung Hing, Wo Lien Shing, and Sun Kee are also similar to those in the movie.

The characters Chan Ho-nam, Crow, and Jimmy are all real people.

Gao Ren, on the other hand, was a henchman of Boss B of the Hung Hing Society, and the reason he was imprisoned in Stanley was...

He was tricked into this by his good older brother before the system had even awakened.

"System, exchange for the Eye of Truth!"

As Gao Ren silently recited the command, the system's notification sounded in his mind.

"Host has used 100 merit points, current merit points remaining: 0!"

Hearing that all the merits he had accumulated over a long period of time had vanished in an instant, Gao Ren felt a pang of heartache!

There's nothing special about it; earning merit can be difficult in some ways, but it's not difficult in others either!

Because there's only one way to gain merit: lend money to others and then get it back with interest.

The interest collected can be exchanged for merit points in the system, with an exchange rate of 100,000 yuan in interest for 1 point of merit points!

To put it more simply, his system could be called a loan system, and it was precisely because of this that Gao Ren earned a brand new nickname in Stanley!

Hung Hing, Kwai Lee Yan!

"Successfully redeemed the Eye of Truth!"

"The Eye of Truth can see everyone's level of favorability towards the host!"

"The number ranges from 0 to 100. The higher the number, the more favorable the person's feelings are towards the host. When the number reaches 90, it means that this person will not betray the host!"

As soon as the system finished speaking, the Eye of Truth that Gao Ren had redeemed from the system arrived in his account.

When Gao Ren's gaze fell on Sha Biao beside him, the number 88 immediately appeared above Sha Biao's head!

Seeing that he was only two points away from breaking the 90 mark, Gao Ren patted him on the shoulder and said,

"You idiot, are you familiar with all the lending methods yet?!"

When asked by Gao Ren, Sha Biao chuckled and replied with a slightly goofy expression,

"Ren-ge, it's already ripe!"

At this point, Sha Biao looked at his underling who was lending money and said,

"First, set up a trap, let those gamblers win a few rounds, then have the trolls lure them into increasing their bets, and finally win all their cigarettes!"

"Then we'll proceed with lending for your business, Brother Ren!"

After hearing what Sha Biao had said, Gao Ren patted him on the shoulder again and said,

"I'll be released from prison tomorrow. After that, you'll be in charge of everything here!"

"Remember what I always tell you!"

"We're here to make money, not kill people. The 'Nine Out, Thirteen Back' strategy might earn less, but it's a steady, long-term profit."

"As for those who can't repay their debts temporarily, don't push them too hard. Let them pay with their wages or take the blame!"

"In short, we can only make more money if the people who borrow money are alive!"

As soon as Gao Ren finished speaking, the number above Sha Biao's head changed from 88 to 90!

Upon seeing this number, Gao Ren's smile widened even further!

The system said it wouldn't betray me, so from now on, Sha Biao is my absolute confidant and underling!

"Brother Ren, don't worry!"

"I, Sha Biao, haven't had much schooling, but ever since I started following you, Brother Ren, I've learned one thing!"

"Whatever you say, Brother Ren, I'll do!"

Upon hearing this answer, Gao Ren patted him on the shoulder again, said "I didn't misjudge you," and then told him to continue working.
