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

Lin Yaodong then handed the remaining HK$6000 to Gao Jin, the second underling in the group who was wearing a suit.

"Donate this 6000 yuan."

This Gao Jin is the warden Gao Jin from "SPL 2: A Time for Consequences".

He was unexpectedly rescued by Lin Yaodong while being chased by the police.

At that time, Gao Jin stole a car, sold it, and planned to smuggle himself out of the country, but someone leaked the information, and he failed to smuggle himself out.

Lin Yaodong also helped Gao Jin settle the car theft incident later.

From then on, Gao Jin followed Lin Yaodong.

Gao Jin took the money and asked, "Which organization will we donate to this time?"

Lin Yaodong thought for a moment and said, "Let's donate the same one as last time."

Previously, he had always asked Gao Jin to donate the money, but sometimes after Gao Jin donated the money, Lin Yaodong did not receive the system reward.

At first, he thought Gao Jin had embezzled the money and hadn't donated it.

So one time, after Lin Yaodong asked Gao Jin to donate money, he secretly followed behind.

Gao Jin did donate the money, but to those unknown "charities" hawked on the roadside.

Then Lin Yaodong didn't receive any system rewards that time either.

After further investigation, Lin Yaodong confirmed that those so-called quack "charities" on the roadside were simply money-making schemes and did not actually do any charity work.

He then discovered another function of the system: to distinguish between genuine and fake charitable organizations.

The Po Leung Kuk, which Lin Yaodong asked Gao Jin to donate to, is a legitimate charitable organization. As long as the money is donated, a reward will be guaranteed.

However, if you want your donated money to actually go to charity, the best way is to own your own charity.

"Yes, boss." Gao Jin took the money and left.

Not long after.

Lin Yaodong heard the system notification.

[Ding! You have donated HKD 6000 to the Po Leung Kuk Charitable Association, receiving a reward of 6000 contribution points and a hidden random reward of increased charm!]

Hidden random rewards?

This was the first time Lin Yaodong had encountered it.

Does increased attractiveness... make it easier to attract women?

Lin Yaodong touched his face and felt that there was no obvious change, but the young girls passing by did seem to linger their gazes on him a few more times.

He nodded to himself. This "increased charm" reward was interesting. Although it wasn't as tangible as giving money directly, it might have an unexpected effect in certain situations.

"Brother Dong, Brother B's phone is ringing again." Xiao Fu stepped forward again with the Nokia, his tone urging.

Big Brother B is the head of the Hung Hing Society in Causeway Bay and is also the current nominal boss of Lam Yiu Tung.

They're in such a hurry to find him because, apparently, he has an "important mission."

Lin Yaodong answered the phone, his tone instantly becoming respectful yet tinged with a touch of江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry): "Hey, Brother B? Sorry, sorry, I was busy with something small, helping an old lady cross the street and teaching some clueless bastard a lesson, so I was a little late. Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there, right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yaodong's respectful expression vanished instantly, replaced by a calm and calculating look.

He knew that Brother B was only looking for him to collect debts, address trouble at his place, or prepare for a fight with another gang.

In the past, he might have had to live in fear and trepidation, but now...

I glanced at the system interface:

[Contribution Points: 9,961,010]

I'm less than 40,000 points away from unlocking the second item in the system shop.

The first thing is to exchange Hong Kong dollars at a 1:1 ratio. Although it is stable, the money comes too slowly for his current "business" plan.

He was very curious. What could it be that required ten million contribution points to unlock? High technology? Extraordinary abilities? Or some kind of incredible opportunity?

"Let's go to Brother B's place." Lin Yaodong waved his hand and led Xiao Fu and the remaining few underlings toward the Hung Hing Boxing Gym in Causeway Bay.

The boxing gym was filled with smoke. Big Brother B, wearing a floral shirt and a thick gold chain, was playing mahjong with a few of his cronies.

Seeing Lin Yaodong enter, he didn't get up, but merely raised his eyelids and said jokingly, "Ah Dong, you've gotten too big for your britches now, it took three or four invitations to get here."

The guy who's best at making money under his command often comes up with brilliant ideas that can earn him extra cash, so he has no choice but to indulge him.

"Brother B, you're joking. Something really came up and I was held up." Lin Yaodong smiled and handed over a Marlboro he had just bought. "When have I, Ah Dong, ever been careless when it comes to doing things for the gang?"

Brother B took the cigarette and chuckled, "You're smart. Tonight, some sucker cheated at our place, winning over a hundred thousand. He got caught but is still being stubborn. Take a few men and 'invite' him to have a good talk and get him to return all his money, including interest. Remember, be clean and don't leave any loose ends."

"This dirty work again..." Lin Yaodong thought to himself, but on the surface he put on an indignant expression: "Dare to cheat in Brother B's place? You're tired of living! Don't worry, Brother B, I'll handle it perfectly!"

In the past, Lin Yaodong might have simply led his men over, beaten the cheater up, and forced him to pay up to settle the matter.

But now, he has the system, and he also has greater ambitions.

Such purely violent acts, which may lead to enmity or even legal trouble, have low returns but high risks. Most importantly, they do not help in earning contribution points and may even result in deductions due to the violence.

He tested it and found that maliciously injuring someone would be punished by the system.

Lin Yaodong led his men out of the boxing gym, but instead of going directly to find the "easy target," he first sent Xiao Fu to inquire about the specific situation.

Soon, Xiao Fu returned and reported: "Brother Dong, we've found out. That guy's name is Bucktooth Su, he's a repeat offender, and he did cheat. However... it seems he took the risk because his elderly mother was seriously ill and urgently needed money for surgery."

He knew his boss was keen on being a good person, so he added that comment.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaodong's eyes flickered slightly.

He stroked his chin and silently asked the system: "System, if I can both help Brother B get his money back and solve Bucktooth Su's problem, would that count as doing a good deed? Would I get contribution points?"

The system did not provide a direct answer, but the interface seemed to flicker briefly.

Lin Yaodong understood that the system encouraged creative "good deeds," rather than simple black-and-white thinking.

He had an idea.

That evening, in a private room of a nightclub owned by Lin Yaodong.

Bucktooth Su was "invited" in by Xiao Fu and Gao Jin, one on each side, and turned pale with fright.

Lin Yaodong sat on the sofa, slowly poured himself a glass of wine, and didn't look at him.

"Brother Su, you're on a winning streak, winning over a hundred thousand in one night." Lin Yaodong said, his voice not loud, but carrying pressure.

Buck-toothed Su's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down: "Brother Dong... I was wrong! I... I'll pay back all the money! Please let me go!"

Lin Yaodong then looked up at him, his tone calm: "I heard your mother is sick and urgently needs money?"

Buck-toothed Su was taken aback, not expecting Lin Yaodong to ask this. She quickly nodded, "Yes...yes, the hospital said the surgery would cost 80,000 yuan, I...I really can't afford it..."

Lin Yaodong put down his wine glass and walked up to Bucktooth Su: "Cheating, breaking the rules. According to the rules of the underworld, leaving one hand behind is considered lenient. Brother B is very angry."

Buck-toothed Su trembled all over.

"However..." Lin Yaodong changed the subject, "I respect you as a filial son. Here's the deal: the money you won, the principal belongs to the gang, and you must repay it. The extra interest, consider it a loan to you, to help treat your mother's illness."

Buck-toothed Su could hardly believe his ears.

Lin Yaodong gave Gao Jin a wink.

Gao Jin took out an envelope containing HK$20,000—part of Lin Yaodong's "earned" income today.

"This is 20,000. Adding the principal you owe, it should be enough for your mother's surgery."

Lin Yaodong stuffed the envelope into the buck-toothed Su's hand, "Consider the money a loan from me, and I'll pay you back slowly later."

As for the cheating, I'll talk to Brother B. He's already taught you a lesson, and the money has been recovered. Don't do it again; find an honest job.

Buck-toothed Su clutched the thick envelope, staring at the notoriously ruthless Hung Hing member before him. His eyes instantly reddened, and he knelt down with a thud.

"Brother Dong! Thank you! Thank you so much! You're such a good person! You're like a second parent to me! I will definitely repay this money! I will do anything to repay you!"

[Ding! You repaid evil with kindness, skillfully resolved the conflict, and helped Bucktooth Su overcome her family difficulties, preventing her from taking her own life. You have been awarded 5000 contribution points! You have also received a random reward: Crisis Intuition (Beginner)!]

Become!

Lin Yaodong was overjoyed. Not only did his contribution points increase significantly, but he also gained a "crisis intuition," which was practically a life-saving skill for navigating the martial arts world!

He helped the buck-toothed Su up: "Alright, stop crying like that, you're a grown man. Hurry up and get the money to treat your mother's illness. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, but don't get involved in any crooked ways again."

After dealing with the buck-toothed Su, Lin Yaodong took the recovered principal back to see his older brother, B.

"Brother B, it's all done. That kid is a filial son; he cheated to pay for his mother's medical treatment. I've already taught him a lesson, and I've gotten the money back." Lin Yaodong placed the envelope containing the money on the table.

Brother B counted the money and nodded in satisfaction: "Ah Dong, you're getting more and more reliable at handling things. Hmm, not bad."

He didn't ask in detail how the "lesson" was taught; as long as the money was returned and face was saved, the process didn't matter.

Stepping out of the boxing gym, a night breeze refreshed Lin Yaodong. He glanced at the system; his contribution points had reached 9,966,010.

We are less than 34,000 points away from the 10 million mark.

"It seems that fighting and killing are ultimately the worst strategies. Using my brain to do things can solve problems, earn contribution points, and win people's hearts. This is the path I should take." Lin Yaodong suddenly realized.

He looked up at the dazzling yet chaotic night sky of Hong Kong in 1990, and a thought became clearer and clearer.

In this underworld, I, Lin Yaodong, will not only make my way in it, but I will also use my own methods to become the biggest "philanthropist" leader!

The system is his biggest trump card.
