Chapter 177 [(*^▽^*)]
Every drop of blood in Jiang Xiali's body was screaming to beat him up, but on the surface he remained calm and stepped aside, saying, "Come in."
Lin Wanyi followed them into the living room and slumped onto the sofa as if it were her own home. "Sigh, this matter has really taken a long time to resolve. It's so difficult, and what's even more difficult is that I can't get involved."
Jiang Xiali asked, "What? Can't Hua Yun'an, whom you hired, handle this matter?"
Lin Wanyi waved her hand, "It's not Hua Yun'an's problem, it's that Zhou Wanwan is really hard to deal with."
Lin Leyou: "What's going on? Is this Zhou Wanwan you're talking about really so trustworthy to Jiang Changdong and his family? She's been arrested herself, yet she's still helping them cover it up?"
Lin Wanyi blinked, her expression somewhat unpleasant. "That's really how it is."
Jiang Xia couldn't understand, "Could it be... that Zhou Wanwan has some absolutely sensitive information that Jiang Changdong and his group have in their hands?"
Lin Leyou: "What did she do that's more serious than this?"
Lin Wanyi pondered for a moment, "She confessed to all the times she had deliberately leaked other people's locations, and she even bears some responsibility for the deaths of many people."
"Logically speaking, even if we brought up this matter concerning you, it would be irrelevant to her, but she just stubbornly refuses to say anything."
"So, just as Ali said, Zhou Wanwan must have some kind of incriminating information that Jiang Changdong and his group have fallen into their hands. And once this is exposed, Zhou Wanwan will definitely be in a worse situation than she is now."
Lin Leyou: "What kind of punishment is she receiving now?"
Lin Wanyi said, "I regularly reside in some special game arenas, where a large number of characters need to be repeatedly tortured and killed. These are all storylines for the players to watch."
Jiang Xiali's lips twitched. "Those tasks are really hard to get anyone to take. They're especially rip-offs with low rewards, and sometimes you even have to strip naked... Someone was tricked into doing these tasks before, Xiao You, you have to be careful not to get scammed."
"Was that amusement park you went to before also ripped off?"
Lin Leyou thought of the item that could detect the location of players within 100 meters. It couldn't be put in the backpack, because if a player stole it, he would have to pay 100,000 points in compensation!
Huh? Wait a minute!
He told Jiang Xiali about this, and then asked, "What would happen if a player took this item and I didn't have 100,000 points?"
Jiang Xiali and Lin Wanyi looked at him with surprise.
Lin Wanyi: "What else can we do? Stay inside and work to pay off the debt, until it's all paid off."
Jiang Xiali said, "I really don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky."
Lin Leyou thought of the incident that happened to him in the real world and said with a self-deprecating smile, "It really is... If I were lucky, I would have encountered such a rip-off at this amusement park. If I were unlucky, I would have earned enough points before going to the amusement park and hadn't lost any of my items."
"If I were lucky, I would have encountered Jiang Changdong's ambush as soon as I stepped out of the amusement park. If I were unlucky, I would have managed to dodge it."
Jiang Xiali and Lin Wanyi both looked at him with very peculiar eyes.
Lin Wanyi suddenly said, "Yeah, I wonder how lucky you'll be after becoming an upper-class resident. Oh, by the way, because Zhou Wanwan absolutely refuses to admit to anything else, so..."
Lin Leyou nodded, "I understand, so my share of the compensation is gone, right?"
"Yes, but don't be discouraged. The gold-plated defensive item you snatched back will bring you enough rewards, one million points each time, which is enough to cover those compensations."
Lin Leyou's lips curled into a smile, "Yes..."
Jiang Xia suddenly perked up, "I heard that Jiang Xiaming is looking everywhere for other defensive items! Do you think he might come to borrow this item?"
Lin Leyou, "Jiang Xiaming?"
In Jiangxia Village, "Jiang Xiayue's brother was originally quite good, but after Jiang Xiayue lost her things, Jiang Xiaming had to find other props to replace them. It is said that Jiang Xiaming was even ridiculed by people outside."
Should we lend it to him if he comes to borrow it?
Lin Leyou suddenly smiled and said, "Should I lend it or not? I'm not familiar with this, and I don't know. Let Uncle Jiang decide."
Jiang Xiali grinned and moved closer to him, "Oh, that's right! My dad knows those people very well, so we can charge him three times the points."
Lin Leyou: "That's true. After all, there's no need to mess with points."
Lin Wanyi said, "We still need to be careful."
Jiang Xiali asked, "What does this mean? Does it mean that if we lend it to Jiang Xiaming, he can keep the prop?"
Lin Wanyi: "What are the penalties if the contract doesn't stipulate that the payment is made in full?"
In Jiangxia Village, the compensation is "10 billion points".
Lin Leyou blinked. "Jiang Changdong wouldn't really give me 10 billion points to keep this item, would he?"
Jiang Xiali said, "This item is quite good, but if you have 10 billion points, what kind of item can't you get? You can just buy anything similar, right?"
Lin Wanyi said, "Who knows? Just in case, let's increase the compensation from 10 billion points to 20 billion points. That way, there won't be any problems."
Jiang Xiali nodded. "This might be a bit difficult. If we sign a contract, the compensation written on it will be 10 billion points. It's not just something written there for show; the other party will actually hand over something worth 10 billion points to the system for verification. If the other party violates the contract, then these things will be directly handed over to Xiaoyou by the system."
Lin Wanyi, "Are you worried that they won't be able to come up with 20 billion worth of assets, and that they'll miss out on a lot of rent?"
Jiang Xiali said, "Yeah, they asked us to help, so we can't waste all these points!"
Lin Leyou suddenly said, "If someone's net worth is 20 billion points, I think they wouldn't need this item at all. They could just spend some of their points to buy one..."
Lin Wanyi was speechless. "Do you guys think that an item that grants invincibility once for 10,000 points can be bought with points?"
Jiang Xiali said, "I'll go back and discuss it with my dad; he definitely knows more about this."
Lin Wanyi: "That's right, how could I be wrong?"
As Lin Leyou watched them playfully fighting, he felt like he was a little full. Was it just his imagination?
So, when am I going to find a partner and make them eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)?
I can't make myself eat every time, can I?
Perhaps Jiang Xiali still had some conscience. After seeing Lin Leyou's somewhat depressed look, he coughed twice and said, "Let's leave this matter here for now."
Lin Leyou sighed, "Then that's settled. By the way, can I still take the exam today?"
Jiangxia Li: "Don't go, let's go tomorrow."
While answering, he took out his phone to send a message to his father, Jiang Changhai, who said he would think it over carefully.
After all, some people might not care about those billions of points and would rather use so many things to exchange for such a good item.
He had considered this issue beforehand, so the people he selected had assets just over 10 billion, not much, and were absolutely unlikely to default on their contracts.
However, if the amount of the breach of contract were increased to 20 billion, many people would probably protest. In the end, he changed it, but he did not actually use 20 billion. Instead, he increased it to 15 billion points!
While this number is indeed a bit high, it is still acceptable to many people. However, Jiang Changhai added another condition on top of that.
Those who breach the contract must participate in a dungeon of SSS difficulty or higher once.
Many people were silent for a moment when they saw this condition, but soon no one cared, since none of them intended to breach the contract.
As long as they don't breach the contract, they only need to pay a rent of one million points, and they don't need to care about anything else, except for a very few people who feel unhappy.
But even if they were unhappy, they didn't dare to say it. After all, these two conditions were clearly meant for those who wanted to take advantage of the situation. If anyone raised any objections, it would mean that the person had a problem.
Helping Lin Leyou choose these rental props was really troublesome, but Jiang Changhai did it willingly, since these people were all connections to him.
So even though it's free help and no fees are charged, what you get is far more important than points. Now, whenever Jiangxia goes out, many people try to get close to him.
People he hadn't spoken to or interacted with for many years suddenly appeared in front of him, making Jiang Xiali quite impatient.
But the other family is not much different from ours, so we can't show them the cold shoulder. If we can't fight them, can't we at least avoid them?
During this time, he could only stay at home. After renting the props for the second time, Lin Leyou finally went to take the test. By then, he was already quite skilled at driving.
He passed the test on his first try, and now even if Jiang Changdong wanted to hold him back, no one would listen to him anymore. After all, Lin Leyou has now connected with Jiang Changhai's family and possesses that amazing prop.
And who would think they won't need this in the future?
Such a good defensive item will probably still be highly sought after even hundreds of years from now.
After passing the test, the driver's license is not a paper one, but is entered into an electronic file, and the process is still very fast.
Jiang Xiali sat in the passenger seat, leisurely playing on her phone. "Finally, it's your turn to drive."
Lin Leyou is now a very skilled driver. Even if he were to go back to the real world to practice driving, his instructor would probably think he was ready to take the test right away.
"Really? Isn't it because you taught me well?"
Jiang Xiali said smugly, "From now on, you can drive us when we go out."
Lin Leyou: "Yes, Young Master Jiang, no problem, Young Master Jiang."
Jiang Xiali, "Hahahaha..."
He didn't feel embarrassed at all; on the contrary, he found it very funny.
Lin Leyou, "Shall we go to the market?"
In Jiangxia Village, someone said, "Let's go there. We can go often in the future; maybe we'll find something good?"
