Wang Lei's face turned extremely ugly in an instant.
He forced a smile and tentatively asked:
"Young Master Lin, we were just curious about your talent and jokingly urging you to test it. This bet..."
Lin Xu chuckled:
"I have no interest in joking with a bunch of small fry. The bet we just made has been witnessed by the island's laws. If you want to break the bet, then be prepared to bear the consequences."
Wang Lei was about to cry out in despair.
He had just made a special request to sign a contract because he was worried that Lin Xu would renege on his gambling debts, but he never expected that he would only end up hurting himself.
But taking out hundreds of thousands of yuan, plus a 100-square-meter island, is like cutting off his flesh.
Wang Lei looked to Teacher Li for help, hoping that Teacher Li could put in a good word for him.
However, Teacher Li also gave Wang Lei a cold look and said indifferently:
"In the world of island owners, rules are paramount. Since you have already made an agreement, you must abide by it. This is a fundamental principle of a qualified island owner."
Wang Lei almost cursed out loud at this moment.
Teacher Li has an aristocratic background and a wealthy family, so taking out several million is nothing to him.
But he's just an ordinary citizen; how could he possibly be willing to give up most of his wealth for the sake of so-called principles?
He had been licking Teacher Li's boots the whole way, showering her with compliments and flattery, going to great lengths to say it all.
Unexpectedly, after Lin Xu only had his talent tested, Teacher Li turned his back on him and treated him like trash.
Wang Lei was almost unable to contain his resentment, but looking at Teacher Li and Lin Xu, he ultimately could not break the contract.
After all, the price of breaking the contract would be the island being completely reclaimed by the island world, a loss he couldn't afford.
Wang Lei gritted his teeth and contacted Island World, preparing to transfer the money.
As for his island itself, he wanted to stall for time and give Lin Xu some of the less valuable soil.
However, Lin Xu had already communicated with the island's world at this time.
With the island's rules as witness, once the conditions are met, the agreed-upon supplies can be allocated directly, regardless of one party's opinion.
Lin Xu has now connected with the island world. The next moment, Wang Lei's 600,000 yuan in funds, plus his 100 square meters of territory, have been transferred away. Wang Lei has no way to operate from them.
The next moment, Lin Xu received a message that he had obtained funds and new territory, which he could claim upon returning to the island world.
Wang Lei also received the message at the same time.
His face immediately turned extremely ugly as he looked at Lin Xu:
"You actually!"
Lin Xu glanced at Wang Lei indifferently:
"What, Wang, do you want to back out? If you're still willing to put up a bet and prepare a suitable wager, I'm not unwilling to gamble with you again."
Wang Lei fell silent, staring at Lin Xu with intense resentment.
Lin Xu disliked Wang Lei's gaze and smiled again:
"Speaking of which, Wang, our bet wasn't just about this, was it? Besides the money, I think we agreed on another condition?"
Wang Lei was stunned for a moment, then realized what Lin Xu was talking about, and his face immediately became distorted.
In addition to the property bet, the two also agreed that if one of them lost, he or she would have to call the winner "Grandpa" three times.
This is a very embarrassing thing to do.
Wang Lei had only thought that Lin Xu calling him that would make him feel incredibly good, but he never imagined that if he lost, he would suffer the same fate.
Lin Xu had no real interest in someone like Wang Lei calling him "grandpa," so he spoke up at that moment:
"This kind of address between classmates is really a bit much..."
Wang Lei's expression softened somewhat, while he inwardly scoffed, "Hypocrite, cowardly piece of trash, he even let go of this opportunity to humiliate the enemy. Looks like if I go a little harder on this trash in the future, maybe he'll forgive me..."
However, Wang Lei's thoughts didn't last long before he heard Lin Xu say again:
"So, this kind of address is too humiliating. How about Wang gives me another 300,000 yuan, or a 30-square-meter island? 100,000 yuan per instance, 300,000 yuan for three instances, isn't that a cheap price?"
Wang Lei almost rolled his eyes.
If he were to receive 100,000 yuan for calling someone "Grandpa," he could keep calling that person until they were bankrupt.
As for a 10-square-meter territory on an island, that's even more impossible. Before an island gains the ability to move around and roam to collect wild soil, every bit of island land is priceless and the foundation of the island owner. No island owner would be willing to sell their island territory in advance.
Wang Lei would never accept such a condition.
Lin Xu looked at Wang Lei with anticipation.
For him, that's the kind of person he would never call "grandpa."
Even if it comes at a heavy price.
I wonder how much Wang Lei values his dignity. Is 100,000 yuan a bit too cheap?
However, Wang Lei, his face flushed red, ignored Lin Xu's conditions and suddenly squeezed out two words:
"grandfather!"
Lin Xu was taken aback.
Wang Lei spoke too softly, and he didn't hear him clearly at all, so he asked:
"What?"
Wang Lei's face turned completely red.
This agreement on address must be clearly understood by the other party; otherwise, it will not be recognized by the island's world.
He didn't think he had spoken too softly; rather, he felt that Lin Xu was deliberately humiliating him.
Wang Lei's resentment and hatred had reached a critical point. His gaze towards Lin Xu was filled with undisguised malice and hatred, but he had already abandoned all pretense of decency and was now ready to go all out.
He then shouted:
"Grandpa Lin Xu!"
Lin Xu was slightly taken aback.
This time he did indeed hear what Wang Lei said, and his face twitched slightly.
I see.
Wang Lei's shamelessness isn't worth 100,000 yuan.
Lin Xu gave a few fake laughs:
"I've heard the way you called me 'Classmate Wang.' But a title is just a title. If I really had a grandson like 'Classmate Wang,' I certainly couldn't afford to enjoy it."
With that, Lin Xu and Teacher Li exchanged contact information and then asked the shop assistant for the ordering number.
After Lin Xu tested his talent, the shop assistant promptly gave him a VIP card, which would allow him to get a 10% discount on transactions within the store.
After all, the shop assistants in these kinds of stores have a certain eye for detail.
Any shop would want to cultivate a good relationship with a genius like Lin Xu.
After Wang Lei shouted, he found that everyone around him, including his classmates and Teacher Li, was looking at him with extremely strange eyes.
Some students had a half-smile on their faces, their expressions revealing undisguised mockery and disdain.
As for Teacher Li, after sighing, her gaze towards him became even more indifferent, as if she were looking at a lump of mud.
Based on Wang Lei's understanding of these classmates, the ugly performance he put on today will definitely spread throughout the school.
At that time, his reputation and dignity will be trampled on and ridiculed by countless people.
Wang Lei was filled with shame, indignation, and extreme anger.
These bastards were clearly involved when they questioned Lin Xu.
If it weren't for these people's encouragement, he wouldn't have impulsively made such a large bet.
Now that he has lost, these people still have the nerve to mock him like this.
Just wait and see. Once he finds an opportunity, every single one of these people will pay the price.
And Teacher Li isn't any better; he's just a lowly nobleman with some minor connections. Even if he's the island lord, he's still a nobody.
Given the opportunity, he will also bring down this hypocritical scoundrel.
And then there's Lin Xu!
Wang Lei stared intently at Lin Xu.
The way he looks at Lin Xu now is as if Lin Xu tricked his mother and younger sister away, gave birth to a younger brother for him, and then made him call the child "uncle".
"Lin Xu, I will never let you get away with this!"
Wang Lei roared inwardly in fury.
However, due to the island's rules, Wang Lei dared not break them. He held his breath and shouted it out loud with difficulty:
"Grandpa Lin Xu!"
"Grandpa Lin Xu!"
