Let's Squander A Billion First!-Chapter 339 - : Glory From Below (16)
Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Glory From Below (16)
Chuzheng riffled through her room but couldn’t find a spare mouse.
So frustrating!
Chuzheng stared emotionlessly at the broken mouse on the desk, mentally tearing it to pieces. Just one drop and it was done for, not durable at all.
Eventually, Chuzheng had no choice but to make do with just the keyboard for the time being.
Three hundred thousand Gold Coins, equivalent to 30,000 RMB.
Relatively speaking, that was not a lot.
Blowing it all on a Fortune Shines and Ten Thousand Gold would drain the sum completely.
[Announcement] Player [Top Tycoon] lit up the Fortune Shines; a Lucky Bag is about to drop randomly.
[Announcement] Player [Top Tycoon] lit up the Ten Thousand Gold; a Kongming Lantern is about to drop randomly.
The announcements quieted the online world instantly.
[World] I see the dream: Is Chu Xi splurging again?
[World] Ding Dong Ding Dong: In my lifetime, I actually get to see such extravagant items officially; I’ve only ever seen them in promos!!
[World] Your girlfriend dropped this: Does Chu Xi really have so much money?
[World] Origin: Lately, she hasn’t been just squandering but indeed being a true mogul.
[World] Summer Night’s Little Fire: All I want to know is which map?
[World] Super Cute Me: I want to have a look!! Coordinates please!!
[World] I see the dream: Here at the Snow of Tianshan instance.
The Snow of Tianshan instance was already a magnet for many players—studying the Hell Mode of the Snow of Tianshan—and now with Chuzheng’s stunt, even more players gathered.
Some in the world complained about being disconnected due to the crowd.
After all, these were items worth tens of thousands, not likely to be finished within just a minute or two.
Combined, the two items would probably float around for half an hour.
Players flocking for the Lucky Bags and Kongming Lanterns, as well as those coming to glimpse the tycoon’s items, were numerous.
Jiang Liang stood next to Chuzheng, watching the screen full of Lucky Bags and Kongming Lanterns.
For effect, the map had been set to night time.
It was as if in the night, countless Kongming Lanterns and glowing Lucky Bags descended slowly.
The scene was both beautiful and stunning.
[Private Chat] Jiang Liang: Why did you suddenly release this?
[Private Chat] Top Tycoon: Got money.
Chuzheng answered with unusual honesty.
[Private Chat] Jiang Liang: …
Chuzheng left the account logged in and went out to buy a mouse.
It’s such a hassle without a mouse.
There was a computer mall near the neighborhood where the original host lived, and Chuzheng headed straight there.
The focus was durability against drops.
The shop owner suggested, “How about you get a wired one?”
Chuzheng with an indifferent face: “No, this one. Give me one.” This one’s the most expensive.
Shop owner: “…” Is this for you to buy and throw around for fun?
I’ve seen people crunching potato chips but never throwing mice.
That mouse isn’t cheap, either.
Don’t rich kids know anything about the difficulties of earning money?
Lucky he’s not my kid, or I’d have to discipline him severely.
After purchasing the mouse and casually having a meal, Chuzheng leisurely made her way back.
Ding—
The elevator doors slid open, and a delivery guy clad in uniform was standing there, headphones in and looking down at his phone, making a call to the next customer.
Without checking if the elevator was occupied, he stepped in.
Chuzheng moved aside to let him in, then exited after he entered.
Click—
The door opposite Chuzheng opened, and a guy peeked out his head, thinking there was no one outside. However, once he turned, his gaze met Chuzheng’s.
His deep blue eyes immediately shaded with unease, and he swiftly retracted back into the apartment.
The door slammed shut with a bang.
Chuzheng: “…”
Do I really look that scary?
Chuzheng glanced at the delivery package left at the doorstep.
Suddenly, the door cracked open again, and the guy peered out with one eye, timid like a startled deer.
“Um… I…”
Jiang Liang stuttered and stumbled for ages, managing to squeeze out only three words.
Chuzheng bent down to pick up the takeout and handed it to him.
Jiang Liang seemed like he wanted to close the door, but he forced himself to resist and did not close it.
“For you to eat,” Jiang Liang’s voice was full of nervousness, “Thanks for last time.”
“I’ve already eaten,” Chuzheng’s eyes were calm, “You eat it yourself.”
“…”
Jiang Liang’s palms were covered in cold sweat; the words he had spoken to Chuzheng were as many as he’d typically say in a week.
He pulled the door open wider, quickly took the takeout, and then slammed the door shut.
Chuzheng’s face was fanned by the breeze made by the door.
Chuzheng: “…”
Can I take him down?
[King’s Account: “Miss, I don’t mind rewinding, I have no objections.”]” The voice from King’s Account was crisp and cheerful.
Chuzheng glanced at the door, took out her keys, and unlocked her door.
By the time her door had closed, Jiang Liang was sitting on the ground, leaning against his own door, hugging the still warm takeout.
He was so useless.
Was it really that hard to say a few more words?
After sitting for a while, Jiang Liang got up, placed the takeout on the table, pulled out a chair and sat down with a bit of delight and excitement. He took out his phone to send Xia Mufan a message.
[Jiang Liang: Fan Fan, I talked to her today.]
Xia Mufan, not aware of what he was doing, took a few minutes to reply.
[Xia Mufan: Did you ask her name and phone number?]
Jiang Liang instantly felt like a deflated ball, slumping onto the table.
[Jiang Liang: No.]
[Xia Mufan: How much did you say?]
Jiang Liang counted…
[Jiang Liang: Ten words.]
[Xia Mufan: You really outdid yourself.]
Xia Mufan’s words were a bit impolite, but Jiang Liang wasn’t angry. He just prodded his phone, looking a bit miserable.
[Xia Mufan: I’ll come see you tonight.]
[Jiang Liang: What for?]
[Xia Mufan: If I don’t help you, by now other guys could already be striding ahead.]
–
Chuzheng tapped the keyboard, and the computer screen that had been off lit up, displaying a character in a dead state.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
The newest record on the enemies list was a player named “Peerless Wind and Cloud.”
This person…
Seemed to be Jiang Liang’s enemy, right?
Why attack her if he’s Jiang Liang’s enemy?
Is he sick or something?
[World] Jiang Liang: “Peerless Wind and Cloud,” I’ll wait for you in the PK arena.
Just as Chuzheng finished looking up Peerless Wind and Cloud’s profile, Jiang Liang’s message appeared in the world chat.
[World] I’m super cute: Wow, Jiang Liang’s PK, I gotta get a good seat!!
[World] Totem: Jiang Liang is jumping around again, isn’t that annoying.
[World] Airplane Can’t Fly: PK leaderboard’s top big shot is calling someone out, what did Peerless Wind and Cloud do?
[World] Peerless Wind and Cloud: Let’s go, I’m not afraid of you!
[World] Jiang Liang: Even if you come, you’ll lose, you better bring a coffin with you.
[World] Peerless Wind and Cloud: Jiang Liang, you just wait for me!
[World] Jiang Liang: I’m waiting for you.
Within Peerless Wind and Cloud, besides the all-important leaderboard, there’s also a PK leaderboard that holds significant clout.
The rules of the PK leaderboard are based on the number of victories in PK matches.
The one-on-one PK battles between players generally don’t allow for any props; the matches are won solely through one’s gear and gameplay skills.
Players on the leaderboard might not necessarily rank on the PK leaderboard, but those on the PK leaderboard will certainly make it onto the leaderboard.
Jiang Liang ranked first on this leaderboard, with the second place trailing him by half the score.
Players who had been challenged by Jiang Liang despised him, but there were also many who admired him.
