The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism-Chapter 1409: Continuing the Scheme 3

At that moment, Li Shaocong did the same. He got the man who had answered the question to happily take out 100 yuan and changed it to two fifty yuan. He obtained one Pixiu and took it back.

At this point, Red Boy became more confused the more he looked at him. He whispered to Fangzheng, "Master, why do I feel that this fellow is the Child of Wealth? He just gives without taking."

Fangzheng was also somewhat puzzled, but he knew that regardless of how beautiful it was on the outside, demons were demons. They could not turn into humans. Furthermore, they were demons that ate humans. Therefore, they definitely had a motive for doing so. Furthermore… Fangzheng whispered, "Stirring the desires of people might be his goal. By setting up his identity and stirring their desires, the truth should be revealed soon."

Fang Yunjing did not say a word as she stood by the side watching. However, her peripheral vision landed on Fangzheng and Red Boy as though the duo was more interesting than Li Shaocong.

Seeing that the enthusiasm had finally been lifted, Li Shaocong mumbled, "Aiya, the tour guide is really taking her time with the signing… Since there's nothing to do, why don't I tell everyone something useful… Eh? This beauty, why are you always standing so far away?"

Li Shaocong suddenly changed the topic and looked at Fang Yunjing.

Fang Yunjing shook her head. "I'm not interested in this."

Li Shaocong shook his head and smiled helplessly. "Don't tell me you think I'm scamming you?"

With that said, Li Shaocong looked at the others and everyone laughed as well. It was as if they felt that it would be meaningless to have such thoughts at this moment.

Li Shaocong licked his lips and said unhappily, "Looks like there are quite a number of people who have this idea. Alright… You really see me as a loser. Do you think that I, Li Shaocong, will play these kinds of tiny games? I'm not bragging. If I want to do business, I'll definitely not play such games! Today, I'll show you how I do business!"

Li Shaocong seemed a little angry as he stood up in a domineering manner. He made his presence felt and many people were shocked by him.

Only then did Li Shaocong say, "Next, it's just a game. I won't earn your money, but I want everyone to see how I earn money! Come, my friends. Those who can trust me and want to be my friend, raise your hands! I want to see if there's anyone!"

The moment that was said, everyone present hesitated. Some of them were eager to try, but since no one took the lead, they didn't raise their hands either.

Li Shaocong said, "I know that my current identity is quite stressful for everyone. However, I want to tell everyone that I'm not in need of money now. I'm lacking a friend! I don't care whether you have money or not. The most important thing is whether we can click and see eye to eye! If you have money, we play rich men's games. If you don't have money, we'll play poor men's games? Don't worry, I, Li Shaocong, can eat delicacies and also from roadside stalls. Let me ask you again. Those who think highly of me and are willing to be my friend, raise your hand! Let me see you!"

This time, someone finally raised his hand. Once someone took the lead, everyone raised their hands.

An old lady who was standing by the side pulled an old man and whispered, "Why are you joining in the fun?"

The old man chuckled and said, "This fellow is rich. We don't have to pay for it. Let's join in the fun. Perhaps we can get a Pixiu."

When the old lady heard this, she fell silent.

When Li Shaocong saw this, he was instantly amused. He said helplessly, "Just now, none of you raised your hands. Now, there are so many people raising their hands. To be honest, I'm quite embarrassed."

Then, Li Shaocong's voice suddenly turned serious. He said domineeringly, "But to be honest, being my friend isn't that easy. If you want to be my friend, you have to show your sincerity. Show me your sincerity. I'll show you the sincerity of my Li family!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was confused. What did he mean by sincerity?

Li Shaocong directly said, "Come, all the friends who raised your hands, come in. Stand inside and let everyone see you."

With that said, Little Chen began guiding them to the counter. When Fangzheng saw it, he also raised his hand and walked in.

At that moment, Fang Yunjing suddenly tugged at him and whispered, "Don't go. It must be a scam."

Fangzheng smiled. "It's fine. It's just for fun. There's no money involved anyway."

When Fang Yunjing saw this, she shook her head helplessly. "He spent so much time on us. How can he not be doing it to earn money?"

Unfortunately, Fangzheng still left.

Fang Yunjing looked at Fangzheng's back and sighed. "Why is this person so stupid?"

Including Fangzheng, there were nine people who walked behind the counter. At that moment, Li Shaocong was already outside the counter. Then, he beckoned for Little Chen to take a few pieces of paper and a few pens and place them on the counter.

Only then did Li Shaocong say, "Everyone, you want to be friends with me, right?"

Everyone nodded. Some wanted, some were just being perfunctory, while others were just joining in the fun. Only Fangzheng's face was full of excitement. It was as if he really wanted to become friends with Li Shaocong.

Li Shaocong also looked at Fangzheng seriously and nodded slightly.

Then, Li Shaocong said, "Our next activity is a small game, a game that depends on your sincerity. There's a piece of paper and pen in front of everyone. Everyone can pick up a pen and add a few numbers. I'll tell you all what to write."

Everyone picked up their pens and waited.

Li Shaocong said, "999, 1999, 3999, 5999, 7999, 9999. Alright, that's it. That's too many."

Fangzheng looked at the numbers in front of him and did not understand why the fellow wanted them to write this.

Li Shaocong said, "I'll ask everyone a question. After we become friends, I… I, Li Shaocong, will go to your house. What kind of treatment will you give me? The numbers on the paper in front of you represent money. Remember, what I want is honesty, not something fake. Don't play around with me. I, Li Shaocong, am not a fool. Also, I will really go there, so please don't play around. If you have the ability, do more. I'll still say the same thing again. I don't mind roadside stalls."

The moment that was said, the nine people looked at each other, not knowing how much they should write.

Li Shaocong continued. "How about this? You can write on the paper yourself. After you finish writing, place it facing down and don't let anyone see it. I'll see it later, okay?"

Everyone nodded.

Fangzheng saw a young man's forehead sweat. Clearly, this test was a little pressurizing for him. On the other hand, a few older men appeared rather calm and composed, but their smiles were a little stiff. Clearly, they had not expected such a situation. So many people were watching, so how much should they write? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they wrote too little? Would they end up exposed if they wrote too much?

Author's Note: For this story, I participated in the entire process. To do a deeper level of participation, I lost plenty of Chinese yuan. Sigh…
