Hong Kong variety show: Hung Hing, are you contributing to society?

As soon as Lin Yaodong sat in the back seat of the black Bentley, before he could fully adjust to the faint smell emanating from the leather seats, the crisp notification sound rang clearly in his mind, and at the same time, a semi-transparent system interface that only he could see appeared before his eyes.

[Ding! You have received heartfelt thanks from the former director and the elderly residents of the nursing home. You have completed an act of kindness and have been rewarded with 20000 contribution points and increased support rate among the elderly in the Wan Chai area by 10%.]

Ok?

Lin Yaodong raised an eyebrow, a slight thought stirring in his mind.

It's a rare reward like regional support rate!

This stuff is much harder to get than just contribution points.

Contribution points can be accumulated in various ways, but this kind of bonus involving popularity and hidden reputation in a specific area often requires a special opportunity and is hard to come by.

He spent half the day at the dilapidated nursing home, until now, late at night, donating money and supplies, and chatting with the elderly people whose eyes were clouded and whose movements were slow. All his efforts were worthwhile.

He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and summoned his personal control panel:

Host: Lin Yaodong

Age: 26

Physique: Strong (Advanced) (Result of system enhancement, far exceeding that of ordinary people)

Skills: Free Fighting (Advanced), Vehicle Driving (Proficient)...

Items: ------ (The list is quite long, consisting mostly of everyday items and a few special props)

Contribution Points: 9982000/10000000 (Unlocks the next stage of items)

Regional Reputation: Support rate among the elderly in Wan Chai District is 55% (an increase of 10%), and favorability rating among the lower-income residents of Sham Shui Po is 35%...

...

I need 18000 more contribution points to reach 10 million and unlock the next item in the system shop that has been grayed out for a long time.

Lin Yaodong felt a mix of anticipation and calm.

He tried to quickly accumulate contribution points by making large donations directly, but soon discovered that the system's evaluation criteria were not simply based on monetary amounts.

Sometimes, spending lavishly may only yield a few contributions, or something like "the recipient's fleeting happiness" or "a collective expression of gratitude from the teachers and students of a certain primary school."

These are rewards that seem intangible but primarily provide emotional value.

However, he will also gain some prestige, but these are all intangible and do not help much with the actual improvement of his strength that he needs now.

The system seems to place more emphasis on the substantial and sustainable positive impact of the "behavior" itself, or in other words, "cause and effect" and "chance".

This forced him to adjust his strategy, no longer relying solely on money, but paying more attention to the methods and timing of his actions.

"Dong-ge, where are we going?"

In the driver's seat, a middle-aged man with a sharp face and a piercing gaze asked through the rearview mirror.

His grip on the steering wheel was steady and powerful, with large knuckles, clearly the result of years of driving.

That's right, Lin Yaodong's driver is none other than Jiang Xin, the villain with superb driving skills in the movie "Motorway".

About six months ago, Jiang Xin and his partner planned a big carjacking, which required a vehicle with excellent performance.

They approached one of Lin Yaodong's underlings to modify a car.

When the matter was reported to Lin Yaodong, he did not take immediate action, but instead arranged for Jiang Xin to meet with him.

In a tea restaurant, Lin Yaodong did not use force, but calmly analyzed two paths for Jiang Xin.

One option is to continue down that path of constant danger, where one could die on the street at any moment or be shot dead by the police.

The other option is to work with him, which offers a stable income, a platform to utilize one's talents, and even the opportunity to access higher-level racing techniques.

Jiang Xin was naturally dissatisfied.

But Lin Yaodong also acted unconventionally, directly pressing Jiang Xin down and saying he would send him to the police station, and even accurately recounting several major cases he had committed.

But Jiang Xin also said that she was only driving and knew nothing else.

Lin Yaodong immediately said that he would send a lawyer. Although Jiang Xin was only an outsider, he indirectly helped the ruthless bandit escape. It would not be difficult for him to escape for more than half a year.

He briefly demonstrated the legal terminology he had learned from Lin Liangshui, successfully getting Jiang Xin under his thumb.

After Jiang Xin softened his stance, Lin Yaodong changed his aggressive attitude and said that he could help him erase his past and start anew.

This proud and arrogant driver eventually lowered his head, abandoned his original plan, and became Lin Yaodong's personal driver.

Lin Yaodong also gained driving proficiency skills by subduing Jiang Xin.

Look out the window.

Night has fallen on Hong Kong Island, and neon lights, like flowing, colorful veins, illuminate this city of desire.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go to Brother B's house."

He had a strong premonition that that mad dog, Babi, would not give up after the failed assassination attempt.

According to the common thinking of these scoundrels in the underworld, if they can't do it openly, they'll probably resort to underhanded methods.

The most damaging and threatening force against Boss B is undoubtedly his family.

Although the unwritten rule of the underworld is "don't bring trouble upon your family," Lin Yaodong, having been in the business for so many years, knows all too well how fragile this so-called rule is in the face of real interests and hatred.

More often than not, this is merely a fig leaf used by those in power to control those below and maintain a semblance of order.

Once a falling out occurs, those closest to the person in charge are often the first to suffer.

"Understood, Brother Dong." Jiang Xin didn't ask any further questions, answered crisply, and then started the vehicle.

soon.

The vehicle arrived at the tenement building where Boss B lived.

This type of building is a microcosm of an era on Hong Kong Island. A long corridor connects countless single rooms, and the corridor is ventilated at both ends, resembling a tube, hence the name.

Although Boss B is the head of Hung Hing's branch in Causeway Bay and a figure of considerable influence, money in triads comes and goes quickly. Perhaps out of a desire to "keep a low profile" or out of "habit," he still lives in this old building where all sorts of people mingle.

Lin Yaodong got out of the car, and Jiang Xin and his two trusted henchmen, Ah Zhong and Ah Yi, also got out immediately, cautiously scanning their surroundings.

The entrance to the corridor was dark and smelled of dampness, mold, and spoiled food.

"Let's go upstairs," Lin Yaodong said calmly, straightening his suit jacket.

Several people filed in.

The staircase was narrow and steep, and the dim lighting barely illuminated the ground beneath our feet.

Large areas of the lime on the wall have peeled off, revealing the blackened cement underneath, which is covered with spots of mold.

The rusty security door and exposed water pipes silently testify to the building's long history of disrepair.

This is the current living situation of many ordinary citizens on Hong Kong Island. Behind the glamorous skyscrapers are countless such crowded and dilapidated corners.

Just as they were one floor away from Boss B's house, Lin Yaodong suddenly stopped.

His enhanced hearing picked up the strange noises coming from upstairs—not ordinary noise, but suppressed thuds, muffled groans, and the chaotic sounds of objects falling to the ground.

Not good!

Lin Yaodong's eyes sharpened, and he immediately raised his hand to signal the three people behind him to stop.

He quickly and silently took a few steps back, moving from the front of the line to the back.

This is the proper position for the eldest brother, and also a prudent move to deal with emergencies.
