Lou Kun's base is a casino.
"The competition for the secret realm slots has ended, and the betting has begun."
What rank is our base?
"With that bastard Lou Kai leading the team, we'd be lucky to get tenth place."
"Of the people from our base who went this time, only Lou Zhan is truly capable. The others are just there to make up the numbers. How many matches can Lou Zhan win by himself?"
"The base commander is completely reckless, sending that spoiled brat Lou Kai over there. Sigh, I feel like Lou Kun's base is doomed."
"Should we go to Caiyun Base or Dahao Base? I heard that the benefits for people with superpowers are really good at those two bases."
"The Lou family, relying on the Linghua Hotel, acts like emperors from ancient times, and doesn't treat us ordinary people like human beings at all. I don't think we can stay in this base anymore."
"The base is probably going to be at the bottom this time. We'll be lucky to get even one spot. It'll definitely be the Lou family who go. We low-level ability users have no chance at all."
"Damn it! Why should we listen to the Lou family? If you ask me, we should unite and rob the Lou family's hotel, and take control of our own lives!"
The conversation quickly veered off-topic, shifting from discussing the base's rankings to condemning the Lou family.
The crowd was indignant.
Just then, the casino announced the results: "Our Loukun base has won first place in this competition for the secret realm slots! We've secured 30 slots!"
In an instant, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone's expressions froze.
It was as if the pause button had been pressed.
It took two or three seconds before the sound came out again.
"What the hell? What number is our base again?"
"First place! Our base won first place!"
"I must not be fully awake yet, otherwise why would I dream of such an outrageous thing?"
"The casinos are really shameless in their pursuit of profit; they can even come up with such lies."
"Lou Kai's team can win first place? If that's true, I'll do a handstand and have diarrhea."
"In the past, Lou Kun's best result was only the top five, and that was the time when the base leader led the team to participate in a competition."
"There's a rule in the competition that each person can only participate once, so the base leader couldn't participate anymore. Since then, our base has never made it into the top five again. Is Lou Kai leading the team to take first place this time? Is he even better than the base leader?"
...
Although no one believed it, the news still spread like wildfire throughout the entire base.
When they learned that the base commander had led a group to welcome Lou Kai and his party at the hotel entrance, many people rushed over to watch.
Not long after, a black flying car sped over and suddenly stopped in mid-air as if it had no momentum, then landed steadily.
The car door opened, and Lou Kai got out first.
Lou Kun strode forward, wanting to give him a big hug.
With her arms already outstretched, Qiao Lu and Ruan Peipei got out of the car and each took one of Lou Kai's arms, leaning against her like little birds.
Lou Kun's arm hung awkwardly in mid-air.
Lou Zhan stepped forward at the opportune moment and shook his elder brother's hand.
Lou Kun shook hands with him.
"Xiao Kai, Xiao Zhan, you've worked hard! Your contributions are indispensable to the base's first place victory this time!"
The crowd erupted in excitement.
"Even the base commander said it himself, our base is truly number one!"
"Oh no! I've really lost this time!"
"How did they get first place? This is so illogical."
Xin Sui glanced at the crowd.
Wang Liang, standing in the crowd, waved frantically at her, grinning like a complete idiot.
The reason was simple: before setting off, Xin Sui asked Wang Liang to place a bet at the casino, betting that Lou Kun's base would win first place this time.
Wang Liang thought she was being incredibly whimsical, but he did as she said.
When the results came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
It really is number one!
They're going to make a killing!
You should know that the odds for winning first place in the gambling den are as high as 25 times!
Although the money earned wasn't his own, since Young Master Kai entrusted him with this task, and he'd made so much money, he'd surely reward him a little, right?
And the little bit that slips through Kai Shao's fingers is enough for him to make a small fortune!
Xin Sui didn't have time to pay attention to Wang Liang for the time being. With Xuan Wei and the others by his side, he followed Lou Kun to the victory celebration banquet.
After the banquet, Lou Kun held another impromptu family gathering on the rooftop.
After Xin Sui and Lou Zhan recounted their experiences in the competition, Lou Kun said with a solemn expression, "Possessing a treasure is a crime. In the end, my strength as a fourth-tier, second-star individual is far from enough to protect our hotel."
"Although their plan was ruined by Xiao Kai this time, there's no guarantee that there won't be a next time."
Lou Junyu slammed his fist on the table in anger, “Damn it! These bloodsuckers! How much food do we send them every year just so that we can all live in peace?”
"And what did they do? They actually plotted against us in secret! They wanted to swallow up the entire base, aren't they afraid of overextending themselves!"
He then turned to Xin Sui and personally poured her a glass of wine.
"Xiao Kai did a good job. Those people deserve to be killed! If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll really think we're pushovers."
Lou Kun: "I've been stuck at the fourth tier, second star for a long time. I plan to put aside what I'm doing and go into seclusion to see if I can break through."
"During my seclusion, all affairs at the base were handled by the deputy base commander. And the choice of the deputy base commander—"
He glanced at Xin Sui and the other two.
"This time we got 30 spots. Xiao Kai, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Zhan, I plan to give each of you 10 spots. You can recruit candidates at the base yourselves. I won't interfere."
