Liu Ben was preparing to open an online store and to inspect whether the essential oil workshop was qualified. When he had a little free time, he remembered about the contract.
Liu Yibiao frowned: "You want to rent a mountain? Which one? The mountains around us?"
"yes."
Liu Yibiao disagreed: "What's so good about this? The mountain is full of rocks. I think you should focus on preparing your workshop and opening an online store."
Liu Ben shook his head. "I think the surrounding mountains are too bare. This won't work. The environment won't be beautiful enough."
Liu Yibiao disagreed. The mountains in several nearby villages were all like this, and no one cared whether they were beautiful or not. However, seeing that Liu Ben was acting quite serious, he asked, "So what do you think? What do you want to do with these barren mountains?"
Liu Ben: "If we plant osmanthus pines on these barren hills, they will be covered with pine flowers, which will be both fragrant and beautiful. Our villagers will be much happier every day."
"Guixiangsong?" Liu Yibiao didn't understand.
"It's the kind of tree that grows the pine flowers and nuts I brought back. I discussed it with the research institute, and they agreed to ship some over. We can start planting from the mountain closest to the village entrance, and the institute will continue to send more."
Liu Yibiao asked, "Have you already discussed this with the research institute?"
"Yes," Liu Ben nodded.
Since Liu Ben had already made up his mind, Liu Yibiao had no objection: "Then I'll go ask for you and see what Baoshan Town has asked for."
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa."
Now in Liu Ben's space, many osmanthus trees have begun to grow rapidly. Liu Ben collects some branches every day, soaks them in rooting water, and plants them in the space after the roots grow out, waiting for them to grow up.
The first batch of osmanthus trees planted by Liu Ben from cuttings have now grown to a height of nearly fifteen meters. Liu Ben is also preparing to cover the hillside and start planting osmanthus pines.
Speaking of which, ever since Liu Ben and Big Cat said he wanted to smash the osmanthus pine tree with a punch before planting it again, Big Cat has been angry with him and hasn't shown up for a long time. It doesn't respond when Liu Ben talks to it, but every time Liu Ben packs up some delicious food and sends it into the space, it gets eaten up.
"Big Cat, System Big Cat, are you there?" Liu Ben asked.
Sure enough, there was no response.
"Big Cat, how much scumbag value do I have left?"
Still no response.
Liu Ben thought for a moment and asked again, "Big Cat, how much scumbag value does that preservation machine you mentioned earlier require?"
[Humph, 2000! You can’t afford it!] Finally, it appeared.
"If you can't afford it, then make it affordable." Liu Ben said.
[Don't even think about it! This system won't give the host any discounts, meow!]
"I'm not talking about a discount. What I mean is that you have to help me find some tasks that can earn me some trash-beating points." Liu Ben coaxed.
[Crush your scumbag dad's company! Become a star! Become a tech giant!]
"I don't even know what Gouqi Company does," Liu Ben shook his head helplessly, "I'm not good at anything else either."
[So what else do you want to do?] The system cat appeared from the void, curled up into a cat ball, floating in the air and staring at Liu Ben unhappily.
"Come on, come on," Liu Ben smiled like a brother, and greeted the system cat warmly: "Those things you mentioned are done by intellectuals. What's the point? Do you want to do something exciting?"
【Exciting?】
"Listen to me..."
Liu Ben and the system's big cat got together and secretly started a secret plan that no one knew about...
"Pa." Gou Wen sat at a comfortable desk in a clean and spacious office. On the right was a densely packed bookcase, and on the left was a dazzling display case. It was not low-key at all and was full of luxury. He could be considered a successful person.
But at this moment, Gou Wen's expression was not good-looking. His brows were deeply furrowed. Even if he dyed his hair black, it could not hide the traces of time. The wrinkles on his forehead and corners of his eyes showed that Gou Wen was no longer a young man.
Standing in front of Gou Wen was his subordinate, who was lowering his head and saying nothing.
"Tell me, why did our product sales decrease instead of increase starting from this month? And the decrease was so drastic?" Gou Wen asked in a deep voice.
Although he is old, he still has many complicated thoughts. For all the changes happening in the company, Gou Wen can always keenly discover the problems at the first time and think about which party will cause the consequences.
"After investigation, we learned that many users have better choices for their needs."
"As you can see, our company's sales have plummeted the most in our hair growth and care products for men, as well as our beauty and skincare products for women. This is because they've found products that are more effective than ours."
"Whose is this?" Gou Wen asked.
"You family."
"The You family?" Gou Wen questioned, "When did the You family get involved in the nutritional supplement business? Why haven't I received any information?"
Gou Wen has a lot of connections. If any company that can compete with Gold Smith is established, or even just has plans to establish one, Gou Wen will know about it in advance and will always be prepared to use various means to suppress other companies and protect their own market.
"The You family doesn't sell nutritional supplements. A young woman from the You family runs a skincare company that sells a line of daily necessities called 'Natural Miracles'. They have a wide variety of products, and their primary function is to nourish hair and skin."
"Skin care company?" Gou Wen found it amusing. "Are you saying that our company's nutritional supplement market was damaged because a skin care company took over the market? Are you kidding me?"
Gou Wen frowned and said, "You'd better work hard and stop making excuses to fool me!"
"It's true, boss," the subordinate said sincerely, "We didn't believe it when we first found out, but later we found a way to buy a set and tried it ourselves. It really works amazingly."
"Isn't the deputy manager bald? He has been bald for decades. He used the scalp massage cream from Miss You's company, but after just a few days, stubble appeared on his originally smooth scalp. And Secretary Zhu, she is old, uh, she doesn't like to take care of herself, and she has a lot of wrinkles on her face. After using that series of facial masks, her face quickly became smooth and plump again, and she looks like she is ten years younger!" The subordinate almost said it wrong. Gou Wen hated it most when people brought up age-related issues in front of him, so subordinates would usually avoid him deliberately.
But Gou Wen obviously didn't have time to dwell on those things now. The more he listened, the more his brows furrowed, as if he could pinch a fly to death.
How many days does it take to make a bald head grow hair? Can a woman in her fifties look ten years younger by applying this?
The more he listened, the more fake it felt.
Although GoldS.mith's products are sold at high prices and are highly praised, Gou Wen knows very well that their products can only supplement a little bit of relevant nutrition and have no special effects. They do contain a lot of expensive ingredients, but they are of no use and the human body cannot absorb much of them.
"Knock, knock." Gou Wen knocked on the table: "Send a new set of those things over. I want to see the effect with my own eyes before I believe it."
"Well, if it's new, we might have to wait a while," the subordinate said cautiously, "We need to use our connections to buy it quickly."
You Guoguo's "Natural Miracle" series has been launched for a month. Even though Liu Ben has increased the daily supply of water shield and devil kelp to You Guoguo from 1,000 kilograms each to 2,000 kilograms each, they are still sold out as soon as they are produced and put on the shelves.
Many people are constantly being sold on the "Natural Miracle" product, and even when it's incredibly expensive, some still tighten their belts, save a little, or even pool their money with friends to buy one. Online sales of illegal "repackaging" and "small samples" are booming, and even official warnings and bans haven't completely eradicated the phenomenon.
Those who have bought it, even if they only tried it once, will be more eager to use it after seeing the results. Who wouldn't want to improve their thinning hair? Who wouldn't want a healthy head of black, shiny hair? Who wouldn't want to have better, smoother skin? Even the most indifferent people will feel a little envious when they see someone they know become more beautiful, right?
The Liu family did not have those worries. As an important partner of You Guoguo, Liu Ben often received a lot of "Natural Miracle" series products from You Guoguo. He could not refuse them. Liu Ben took them back for his family to use, and also gave a lot to Liu Rui, Liu Sen and Liu Lei who were far away.
Hey, don’t say that those products are only needed by girls. Boys also love beauty. Moreover, boys in their growing period have oily faces and are prone to acne. If they don’t pay attention, stay up late or eat unhealthy food, it will easily lead to worse skin. Maybe they even need to apply a facial mask!
Liu Lei's dormitory is full of rough-looking men like him, but today they all sat together, facing each other and began to apply facial masks clumsily.
"Brother, do we really need to apply this? This, this is inappropriate, right?"
"What's inappropriate about that? Look at your face, which looks like a foot scrubber, full of pits and dents."
"You're still talking about me, but look at yourself, you have a face full of pimples that I can't even face."
"Don't be so pretentious. Do you know how much this mask costs outside? Six hundred!" Liu Lei was the first to tear it open. While watching the mask application video Liu Rui sent him, he carefully applied the mask on his face according to the tutorial. Finally, he imitated the beauty blogger in the video and used the cotton pad in the bag to absorb the essence. After thinking about it, he applied it on his neck.
His roommate also applied the medicine to himself as he did: "That's right, there is such an expensive and good thing for you to use, and you are still reluctant. Otherwise, you can apply it to me."
"I'll apply it too. When my face looks good, I'll chase the class beauty, hehe~"
"Go ahead and dream on! Even if you have great skin, the class beauty won't hesitate to look at your ugly face!"
"Hey - if you have the guts, compete with me fairly and don't make personal attacks!"
Liu Lei ignored their childish quarrel. He kept his mouth shut, fearing that the mask would fall off if he opened his mouth.
Such an expensive mask cannot be wasted.
"Who are you talking to?" Ye Xiao put his arms around Liu Rui's neck from behind and asked her face close to hers.
"With my brother." Liu Rui lowered her head and typed words on the mobile phone keyboard.
Ye Xiao's eyes lit up: "Is it that anchor brother with great muscles?"
Liu Rui rolled her eyes at her and said, "No, it's my second brother. He received a facial mask from Brother Ben and asked me how to use it."
"Well, boys should use facial masks too. There are actually quite a few good-looking boys in our class, but their skin is not good and their complexion is sallow, which detracts from their appearance," Ye Xiao commented seriously, and then continued to ask Ye Xiao with a smile: "Tell me about your brother Ben."
"I'm not going to talk to you, you're such a gossip." Liu Rui ignored her.
"How am I gossiping?" Ye Xiao seemed to have suffered a terrible injustice: "I never gossip, I keep my mouth shut!"
In the blink of an eye, her expression changed again, and she tugged at Liu Rui's arm again in a frivolous manner: "Just tell me, tell me!"
"What are you talking about?" Liu Rui was helpless.
"Just tell me about your brother and the president!"
Liu Rui: "I don't know much about their affairs, I only know... well, they have a very good relationship."
"How wonderful! Hehehe~"
Liu Rui: …
Liu Rui took out a facial mask and handed it to her: "Go put on the mask. Have you been staying up late reading novels lately? You have dark circles under your eyes."
"Oh, really?" Ye Xiao hurried to look in the mirror.
Liu Rui breathed a sigh of relief, but she also felt a little melancholy.
How come she had only been out for a few months and the elder brother she had just recognized found a partner, a male partner, and came out to his family!
She clearly remembered that they were just friends at that time!
Is the pace of society so fast nowadays?
Do relationships between people change so quickly?

"Little sister, play with us and we'll let you go."
In the alley, the girl was being harassed by several men. She was terrified and trembling all over. She usually didn't work overtime, and she always went home before dark, taking shortcuts without any problems. But today, she was two hours late and had the bad luck to run into these bad guys.
She offered to hand over her wallet to them, but they took it and refused to let it go.
When the girl was surrounded and held hostage by several men, tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to shout for help, but her mouth was covered tightly.
"Yes, it's rare to see a beautiful girl. Let me accompany you today."
A creepy man with yellow hair and a strangely sticky hair even reached out and touched her chest.
"Ugh!" The girl struggled frantically, but she was too weak and could not move at all.
Just when the wretched man's hand was about to touch her, suddenly! "Bang!" the wretched man fell to the ground.
A brick fell on his head.
The accomplices of the creepy man in the alley were stunned and hadn't realized what was happening.
They subconsciously looked up at the place where the wretched man had stood, and saw a tall, strong and strange human-shaped shadow standing in the dim and dark alley.
There were actually two big horns on the figure's head.
But just one minute later, this figure was the only one left standing in the alley.
The group of wretched men all fell to the ground, motionless. The girl was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, completely stunned.
At this time, the figure walked towards her, and the girl's heart seemed to be tightly gripped. She widened her eyes and looked at the figure getting closer and closer in horror. She supported herself on the ground with her hands and struggled to move backward with her legs on the ground.
But this powerless resistance was useless, and the man walked up to her in a few steps.
Who is this person? The girl slowly raised her head. Before her was a person wearing a bull's head mask. Was it a human? It couldn't be an unnatural being like a minotaur, but could a human be this tall?
This man had just easily knocked down a group of bad guys, and he hit them so hard that the girl heard several sounds of bones breaking.
It's like a superman.
It, no, he really seems to be a superman.
The girl thought the minotaur was going to do something to her. When the minotaur raised his hand, the girl instinctively tried to cover her face with her hands. However, halfway through, she saw a small sign in front of her. She looked closely and saw only two words written on it: "Call the police."
The girl stared at it blankly for a long time before she seemed to recognize the meaning of the words written on it. She raised her head to look at the minotaur's head again to make sure. Well, with the light behind her, the minotaur's face was all in shadow and she couldn't see anything clearly, but she could feel that his attitude had not changed.
Only then did the girl dare to believe that this strange minotaur really wanted her to call the police.
She quickly crawled to her bag that was thrown aside, took out her cell phone and dialed 110. As soon as the call was connected, the girl heard the friendly voice on the other end and the tears that had been lingering for a long time burst out.
"I... want to call the police. There is a group of men here. They robbed my money. I gave it to them, and they still want to... do something to me..." The girl burst into tears.
"I know. It's in Baotong Town, uh... a small alley behind the Lai Teng Bar on Section 28 of Dongke Road..." The girl said to the operator on the other end of the phone while looking at the place where the Minotaur had stood before, but there was no one there.
The girl looked hurriedly towards the alley entrance, where there was only a figure walking away.
"Brother, who are you? What's your name? Thank you...thank you!" the girl shouted incoherently.
But the figure walked further and further away with his back to her, without answering. He just raised his left hand and touched the horn on his head, then turned around and disappeared at the corner of the alley.
The girl had just experienced the most terrifying thing in her life and was finally rescued. She just wanted to follow her savior, so she stumbled to the alley entrance and looked to both sides, but the figure had disappeared mysteriously just as she had when she came.
All that is left is a deep memory that will never fade away in the girl's heart.
Liu Ben, who had just acted like a hero, has now run to a faraway place and is riding his motorcycle back home!
"How is it? How much scumbag value did you get?"
[632 meow! 132 of which are achievement rewards]
【Shout out when you see injustice】【Mysterious Man】
"Hey, what do you think? This is more interesting than squeezing out the company or something like that, right?" Liu Ben asked with a smile in the wind.
[Yes, meow! It's so comfortable!]
A few minutes ago——
Liu Ben rode his motorcycle to a deserted alley. There were no shops here, so there were few people. There were only a few nightclubs, which were hidden away and not much noise could be heard.
Liu Ben rode at a moderate pace, taking in the scenery along the road, including various graffiti and neon lights, which were quite charming.
At this moment, Liu Ben heard the system's reminder in his mind. His gaze immediately swept across an alley and his eyes became serious.
In that small alley, I saw a group of men who looked a bit shady were pulling a woman. They were huddled together in the shadows and their expressions could not be seen clearly, but the girl was obviously resisting.
Liu Ben silently stopped the car and started observing from the roadside not far away.
In just a short while, the noises made by those men became louder and louder, and the girl began to scream, but was quickly covered up by one of the men.
Liu Ben quickly drove the car to the next street, stopped it, and then ran back.
Not long after, Liu Ben walked around to a pile of things at the side of the alley and leaned against the wall to observe the men.
The girl struggled hard. Those people were acting suspiciously and definitely didn't intend to do anything good.
Liu Ben watched one of the men rummaging through the girl's bag, seemingly looking for valuables like money.
"Is this a robbery?" Liu Ben asked the system in a low voice.
He had never seen such a scene here before.
[Not only that, look, they're actually touching a girl's face! How perverted!]
Liu Ben narrowed his eyes.
Who can stand watching this? A man with blood would take action!
Then Liu Ben turned into a half-bull orc and beat up those scums.
In fact, Liu Ben’s encounter with this incident was not accidental, but was a plan discussed with the system.
This was the inspiration Liu Ben got from the last time he busted a gang of underage thefts. Liu Ben was not good at complicated abuse of scum, so he could only think of secretly attacking Gou Qi's family, but attacking Gou Qi's family could not gain much abuse value.
However, it was not difficult for Liu Ben to destroy the theft gang. Instead, he earned a large amount of scumbag abuse points, which allowed him to exchange for two products worth 800 scumbag abuse points. Liu Ben was also very satisfied with these two products. They were really worth the money!
This time, Liu Ben wanted to start an online store business, but that was not something he could solve by simply spending more time growing more agricultural products in the space. He also had to consider how to transport them over long distances.
Qu Xian's connections were undeniable; he'd spent a fortune finding the best logistics company, resulting in unusually high fees. Liu Ben couldn't choose this option for his online store, as it was impossible for customers to pay for the logistics costs. Even Liu Ben wouldn't want to pay for them; he wasn't a sucker, so why would he do such a loss-making business?
So the thing that the system mentioned once...the universe's invincible fresh-keeping machine is very useful. Liu Ben still remembers some of the effects the system mentioned, which is completely suitable for express delivery.
But the system also said that the Universe Invincible Freshness Preservation Machine requires 2,000 Trash Abuse Values, but Liu Ben only has a few hundred, which is not enough to buy this expensive machine.
Liu Ben racked his brains and came up with an idea.
That is, he pays a little bit of scumbag abuse value and lets the system help him search the entire city for bad incidents that are happening. Then Liu Ben rides a motorcycle over, transforms into a "mysterious minotaur", bravely appears in front of the bad guys, and teaches them a lesson, so that they will remember the pain of this time for the rest of their lives and dare not commit crimes again.
Not only did public security improve, but Liu Ben also gained a sum of "Torture Points" that made the System, the Big Cat, feel very happy. Yes, Liu Ben had long discovered that there were no strict rules for obtaining "Torture Points"; the only requirement was to make the System, the Big Cat, feel happy and satisfied.
Gou Qi and Zhu Qian were beaten. Da Maozi felt excited the first time he saw it, but it became boring after watching it too many times. However, Liu Ben was not good at other ways of torturing people except beating them. Even if he knew some other ways, Liu Ben felt that they were too complicated and boring. The solution was to find other people who could beat people!
Isn't this a good start? Hehe~
Big Cat was in a good mood, and Liu Ben got the necessary value of bullying.
"Okay, let's come back tomorrow."
When Liu Ben returned home, he walked very quietly, for fear of being heard by his family. It would be easy to make up a story when asked what he had been doing, but the Liu family would still be worried about him.
After successfully entering the room, Liu Ben breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out his mobile phone, which had been ringing with message alerts while he was riding the motorcycle, and opened it to check.
You Ying: "I just bought a new game, it's absolutely fun!"
You Ying: "What are you doing?"
You Ying: "Are you asleep? You don't usually go to bed so early, do you?"
You Ying: "Message me later, or tomorrow."
Liu Ben immediately clicked on the input box and started typing.
Liu Ben: "I just went out for something and just came back."
You Ying's message came right back: "What were you doing?"
"Um..." Liu Ben didn't know how to respond. For some reason, he didn't want to lie to You Ying. Maybe it was because of the sincere words You Ying had said to him a few days ago.
A few days ago, Liu Ben and You Ying were chatting on their phones before going to bed at night, and they talked about You Ying's past.
You Ying: "Actually, what I said before was not very clear. Many parts were vague."
You Ying: "My sexual orientation was exposed because of my best friend at the time."
When Liu Ben saw this, he felt as if something had been stabbed in his heart. He asked, "What's going on?"
You Ying: "At the time, I had just realized from some of the situations that had happened that my sexual orientation was different, so I looked for some videos and pictures to test my sexual orientation. In the end, I was sure that I was gay. I felt that I was out of my plans for the future and was a little upset, so I complained to my best friend at the time."
You Ying: "He was very sincere in comforting me at the time and promised me that he would not tell anyone."
You Ying: "Not long after, my sexual orientation was exposed. It was my friend who told them. My great-grandfather's family gave him a large sum of money, and he sold me out. He broke his promise to me and deceived me."
Liu Ben didn't know what to say. Words have no emotions, but the people who type them do.
Liu Ben seemed to be able to see You Ying at that time through these words. The young You Ying must have been confused, painful, and angry because of these things.
In the end, he must have gone through a lot of things before becoming the You Ying that Liu Ben sees today many years later.
Liu Ben: "Don't worry, I will always be with you. If there is only one person in this world who will not betray you or deceive you, it must be me!"
Liu Ben: "From now on, you can tell me anything that's on your mind. I absolutely won't tell anyone else. Just let all those words rot in my stomach!"
You Ying: "Thank you."
Liu Ben: "Hey, we're almost in a relationship, and you're still saying thank you. It's so strange!"
The words in the memory were still vivid in his mind, so when You Ying asked him what he was doing, Liu Ben didn't want to make up an excuse.
You Ying: "If it's a secret, then there's no need to tell. Everyone should have their own privacy."
Liu Ben breathed a sigh of relief, then he didn't have to make up excuses.
Liu Ben: "Well, it's a secret, but maybe I'll tell you later."
You Ying: "I think it will definitely happen."
Liu Ben: “[Niu Niu clenching fist.jpg]”
————
"Have you heard? Several people with brain problems were sent to our hospital last night." A young nurse whispered to another middle-aged nurse.
The middle-aged nurse was a little puzzled: "Why send someone with mental problems to us? To a mental hospital!"
A short-haired nurse who heard their conversation nearby clearly understood the situation better. She came over and quietly joined in the discussion: "It's true! Wasn't I on duty yesterday? I happened to receive those people. Hey, they got beaten up, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
"Ah? What exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"
"Those men were badly beaten. The lucky ones only suffered comminuted fractures, while the unlucky ones suffered ruptured internal organs and were immediately rushed to the hospital. But the police who brought them here said they were about to molest a girl on her way home from her late shift when they were beaten by someone."
"Ah?! They deserve it!" said the middle-aged nurse angrily.
"That's right!" The nurse on duty last night was also angry and scared. She often worked night shifts, and it would be so unlucky if she met such a person!
She sighed and continued, "The most bizarre thing is that they all insisted that the person who beat them was not an ordinary person!"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
The nurse on duty last night had a complicated expression on her face: "They all said that the one who beat them was... a minotaur."
The young nurse was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of contempt: "Are they trying to pretend to be mentally ill?"
Nowadays, many people like to pretend to be mentally ill to get away with punishment after being caught for committing crimes. They have seen many people pretending to be crazy and stupid.
"I think so too," the middle-aged nurse nodded, "He's definitely mentally ill."
The three nurses were muttering in the lounge, while those people in the ward were still arguing.
"Monster! We were beaten by a monster!" A man with black eyes shouted confidently.
The other man, whose head was beaten into a pig's, nodded weakly, "It's true. His head is a bull's! And it has two huge horns!"
In front of them, a policeman was holding a notebook, and the pen in his hand was shaking slightly. Finally, as if his patience had reached its limit, he slapped the pen on the notebook.
"Tell the truth! Don't think you can avoid legal sanctions by playing dumb!"
"What we said is true! The people who beat us really are those with bull heads!" The man cried bitterly, his body covered in bandages, his head still shaking violently.
"What about you?" Another policeman looked at the wretched man on the third bed.
The wretched man was obviously much more bewildered than his accomplice: "I... my head suddenly hurt, and I didn't know anything."
His head, which used to be full of yellow hair, was now shaved and tightly bandaged. The card on the bedside said he had a concussion, so it was obvious that nothing could be learned from him.
"We won't waste any more time arguing with you. Honestly, no matter who beat you up, I can only say well done. Your jail time is set anyway, so enjoy your time recuperating."
After saying that, the policemen ignored the other two people who were still yelling about the Minotaur and walked out of the ward.
"Tauren, that's hilarious, I'm also a Pandaren."
As soon as the police left, the people who were listening to the noise in the corridor couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the atmosphere outside this miserable ward was filled with joy.
After Liu Ben returned, he asked the system how much he had in terms of being able to beat the scumbag, and the system became much more cooperative.
[The host currently has a scum abuse value of 1556, and a cumulative scum abuse value of 4656]
"Huh?" Liu Ben was puzzled. "I remember that after exchanging the osmanthus pine for the scumbag, I only had about 400 scumbag points left. How did it become 1556 after counting the 632 I saved?"
[This means that the host has gained the value of being a scumbag in other places, meow]
"Where?" Liu Ben felt that he had not done anything special during this period of time.
[The host indirectly negatively impacted the Gou family's business and received a reward of 500 scumbag points!]
"When?" Liu Ben's doubts did not decrease at all. He didn't even know what business the Gou family was doing. Gou Qi never told him about these things. How could he possibly affect the Gou family's business?
[This is up to the host to explore on his own, meow~]
Would Liu Ben explore this? Obviously not. He already knew there were simpler and quicker ways to gain scum points, so he didn't want to spend time researching how to affect the Gou family's business.
Wouldn’t it be fun to let the system search for nearby criminals and then beat them up?
Liu Ben had just committed a crime the day before, and the next day he couldn't wait to go out again with the system.
Coincidentally, there was a crime today. The system scanned a case of a gang fight, with over a dozen people on each side, armed with weapons like steel pipes and grenades. It happened near a residential area, making it a major incident.
In fact, the public security in the city where Liu Ben lives is quite good. Such things rarely happen normally, but it happened for two consecutive days. Even the system said that Liu Ben is lucky.
Liu Ben: "That's not true. Although I can gain scumbag points by stopping criminals, I still hope my luck won't be too good."
[Ah——I didn’t expect you, the host, to be so upright, meow]
"That's right!" Liu Ben sped through the night on his motorcycle. "I am a principled person."
As he spoke, he raised one hand, with his middle finger and ring finger together and bent to touch his thumb, and his index finger and little finger standing upright.
Liu Ben: "Love & peace!"
[What does this gesture mean?] System Big Cat obviously didn't understand.
Liu Ben thought for a moment and said, "I saw it online. Many people make this gesture when they say this."
[It looks pretty cool, meow. I'll check it out online...]
"What's there to check? Just guess and you'll know," Liu Ben said. "Look, the middle finger, ring finger, and thumb together form a circle. Doesn't it look like a head?"
"Then lift up your index and pinky fingers on both sides. Doesn't it look like two horns?"
"So it's obvious," Liu Ben said confidently, "What those people meant must be, 'I'm the best!'"
[……] I believed your lies. If this system had not just searched the Internet, I would have been fooled by you.
Liu Ben gestured again, raising his hand high: "Love & peace!"
[Alright, hurry up! Their fight is going to affect innocent people, meow!]
"We're here." Liu Ben accelerated, and the fighting crowd appeared not far ahead.
Liu Ben skillfully parked the motorcycle by the roadside, turned off the engine, and locked it.
Liu Ben hid in the shadows and came out from the other end as a tall, handsome and cool half-bull orc!
The two gangs were still fighting in chaos. People who were passing by this place on their way home avoided it. There was also an uninformed woman who seemed to have just returned from a walk with her child. She was trembling with fear when she saw this scene, and the four or five-year-old child in her arms was crying loudly, obviously very scared.
Liu Ben frowned, and his dark eyes seemed to be spewing anger.
