This quietness, however, instilled an unprecedented sense of fear in the man before him.
To know that this position was more than half a basketball court away from the hoop, and that he could sit there and casually smash the ball into the backboard, the strength required was already astonishing. Moreover, to cause such a terrifying impact force!
The man weighed it for a moment, confirmed he had kicked an iron plate, and had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
After the man had walked far away, the pleasant system voice reappeared.
"What, happy about taking it out on an ordinary person?"
"It's precisely because I'm not happy that I want to find someone to vent on, especially this effeminate type. I really wish I could rip out his tongue and wrap it around his neck a few times!"
"You're not Hei Bai Wu Chang, where would you get such a long tongue?"
"No sense of romance. Forget it, I won't say anymore. Arrange the order mission. It would be best if I could pick up four or five in a day."
"Sorry, I cannot control the number of orders."
Ren Yuanhao sighed and tentatively asked, "Is there no other way?"
"There is a way, but it will still be very difficult for you."
— Damn it, speaking like you're going to extort me again. This tactic after tactic, I, a country bumpkin, can't handle it!
At this critical juncture, Ren Yuanhao had no choice but to continue asking, "What way?"
"If you gather the corresponding amount of money and transfer it to the black card, it can be converted into points for redemption."
"Why don't you just kill me? Oh no, even killing me wouldn't be worth thirty million!"
For the first time, Ren Yuanhao deeply understood the feeling of regretting not having enough money when it was needed.
"Don't be discouraged. You have many admirers. If you were just a little more proactive, hehe~"
"Shady dealer! I have integrity! I only sell my skills, not myself!"
"Good fellow! Integrity cannot save that girl's life. I've already told you the way. Whether you listen or not, or whether you execute it, is beyond my control. Bye."
The system voice completely withdrew from Ren Yuanhao's mind. He took out a cigarette, searched his whole body, but couldn't find a lighter. He stood awkwardly in the plaza, the neon lights of the dancing machine casting a glow on his slightly pale face, further outlining his loneliness.
"It seems there's only that method left. I wonder how much I can raise."
Ren Yuanhao put the rolled cigarette back into the cigarette case, took out his phone, and called Shen Lan Ni.
"Hello, you little brat, you're finally back?" Shen Lan Ni's voice was as sharp as ever.
"I'm back. I want to discuss something with you." Ren Yuanhao suddenly found it difficult to speak.
"What is it?"
"Let's talk about it after we meet."
...
When Ren Yuanhao arrived at Shen Lan Ni's apartment, it was almost eight o'clock.
Come to think of it, this was his first time visiting Shen Lan Ni's residence.
From afar, he saw a graceful woman standing at the entrance of the apartment. Who else could it be but Shen Lan Ni?
Ren Yuanhao quickened his pace, crossed the driveway, and approached her.
"Hey, hey, hey, you little brat, you didn't bring any local specialties back this time. I'm easily pleased, but I don't know if Ye Lan and Yang Lingxue will be upset."
Shen Lan Ni was wearing a silk red dress, exuding an extraordinary aura. Her red ponytail was as striking as a flame.
"It's not that I didn't want to bring anything, but there's nothing to bring at this time of year." Ren Yuanhao felt a bit embarrassed. Just as he lowered his head, Shen Lan Ni suddenly reached out and pressed down on his head!
"What's wrong? Did you injure the back of your head on this trip back home?"
Although Shen Lan Ni's words were sharp, her expression had clearly softened, even showing a hint of concern.
"It's nothing, just a minor scratch. By the way, are Ye Lan and the others at your place now?" Ren Yuanhao felt guilty under the gaze of the elderly doorman and passing pedestrians, wanting only to get inside quickly.
Shen Lan Ni nodded and led Ren Yuanhao into the luxurious elevator.
The elevator stopped on the fourth floor. After the two emerged from the stairwell and turned a corner, they saw two girls sitting on a plush sofa, watching a boring romantic drama.
"Yuanhao!"
Ye Lan was quite excited, but she didn't show it too overtly. Yang Lingxue snorted, secretly glancing at him, yet pretending to ignore him.
"Why are you still standing there? Do I need to invite you in?" Shen Lan Ni said impatiently, seeing Ye Lan step forward.
As soon as Ren Yuanhao stepped into the room, he smelled a faint fragrance. Under the ambient lighting, the faces of the three women appeared even more exquisite and lively.
"How is it? First time at Sister Lan Ni's place, right? You look so enchanted, completely out of your senses." Yang Lingxue crossed her legs, her ruffled skirt accentuating her perfect figure.
"Lingxue, if you dare to call me 'sister' again, my fist won't spare you." Shen Lan Ni put on a fierce expression like a tiger-mother. Yang Lingxue deliberately feigned a look of 'I'm so scared,' which immediately made Ye Lan laugh.
"Yuanhao, what happened to your head~"
Before Ye Lan could finish her sentence, Yang Lingxue suddenly jumped off the sofa, walked directly behind Ren Yuanhao, her face full of concern, and carefully examined the wound under the 'patch.'
— Damn it, why do I feel like I saved the entire universe in my past life?
Although Ren Yuanhao enjoyed being cared for by beautiful women, his purpose for being here was definitely not that.
"It's okay, I'm really fine."
"It's such a big wound, and you say you're fine? Do you really think you're Iron Man?"
Yang Lingxue insisted, pushing Ren Yuanhao onto the sofa. She then somehow found a bunch of bandages (presumably from Shen Lan Ni's medicine box) and straddled Ren Yuanhao, saying she would change his dressing!
— My goodness, young lady, I'm finding this posture a bit difficult to handle!
"Ahem!" Shen Lan Ni and Ye Lan coughed almost simultaneously. Yang Lingxue then realized the awkwardness, sheepishly retracted her legs, and adopted a more normal posture. While changing the dressing, she listened to Ren Yuanhao speak.
"I want to borrow some money from you all. Ye Lan, I know your situation, so don't help me. I'm afraid I won't be able to repay the money anytime soon."
Ren Yuanhao seemed to be still gathering his courage to say the thirty million, when Yang Lingxue asked, "How much do you need?"
— Anyone who didn't know would probably think I went to a casino, got into debt, and was beaten up!
He muttered to himself, took a breath, and then mustered the courage to say, "Thirty million."
"Thirty million?" Ye Lan and Shen Lan Ni's faces turned a little pale. Shen Lan Ni then asked, "Why do you suddenly need so much money?"
"To save someone." Ren Yuanhao didn't want to elaborate.
Shen Lan Ni was silent for a moment and said, "I should have five million in my card, I can give it all to you."
Just as Ye Lan was about to speak, Ren Yuanhao tapped her head, and she retracted her words.
Among the three, Yang Lingxue was the wealthiest. She said, "This is not a small amount. I can ask my father, but not being able to repay twenty-five million all at once will be quite difficult."
