Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

Bai Li stared in disbelief at the 10 yuan transfer.

If you convert it to a rebate, that's 100 times the return!

It's 50 times higher than the current level of several "spirited young women"!

Bai Li had only seen so many zeros in Chengdu.

Bai Li murmured, "Why don't you just become the system yourself..."

And then there's that particularly eye-catching note at the bottom:

My dad always said, "You can't spend a poor person's money."

Bai Li rubbed his chin with his thumb and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ever since I got linked to this goddess investment system, everything has gone smoothly.

I can't believe I'm being called a poor bastard.

However, from another perspective, in Miss Xie's eyes, he really wasn't considered a rich young master.

All I have to say is that my publicly disclosed assets are a Panamera and a 2,000-square-meter shop in the old street of Ping County.

As for Villa No. 1 in the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace.

The system had already encrypted the homeowner's information at the highest level, so she couldn't find it.

But she could never have guessed that she had a nuclear-level background.

A few days ago, when Li Mengmeng's affection value broke through 75, the special reward issued by the system directly hypnotized and recruited Zhao Donghai, the top dog in Yunshi.

Now, Zhao, the boss who can shake the city with a stomp of his foot, is obsessed with currying favor with Bai Li.

Bai Li smiled and murmured:

"Who knows, one day you might need my help, even if you're a poor person..."

Pulling himself back to reality, Bai Li quickly tapped his fingers on the screen.

He didn't even bother to explain the purpose of the 1000 yuan transfer, and directly clicked to refund 100,000 yuan.

Immediately afterwards, the 1000 yuan was sent back.

Add a concise and to-the-point remark.

Bai Li: [You must accept this money; it's very important to me!]

The response time from the other end was extremely fast.

Xie Lingmo: [?]

Xie Lingmo: [What domineering loser?]

However, Xie Lingmo still listened to Bai Li and accepted the transfer.

[Ding! Host has completed the financial investment in target goddess Xie Lingmo.]

[Critical hit bonus triggered, current bonus multiplier: 10x.]

[10000 yuan has been transferred to the host's bank card.]

The bank's newsletter arrived as scheduled.

Bai Li shifted into a more comfortable position and leaned back in her chair.

That feels so good.

Bai Li: [Look at you. You complain to me every day that those young women you keep have never been sincere with you, that they're only after your money.]

Bai Li: [Now that I'm actively trying to please you, you still call me a loser.]

In a luxury mansion halfway up Yunshi Mountain, Xie Lingmo looked at the message and shrank back guiltily.

Although this statement is crude, the principle behind it is indeed correct.

Xie Lingmo typed: 【How can I repay you?】

Bai Li: [Sigh, with our relationship, talking about repaying debts is too superficial.]

Bai Li: [Look at her legs!]

About ten seconds later, a reply in black text on a white background appeared.

Xie Lingmo: [Okay, I'll film it now.]

Bai Li glanced around; several young women were already paying their bills.

Then.

He walked to the Panamera, staring intently at his phone screen, afraid of missing the high-resolution images that were about to be sent.

"Brother, what are you grinning about?"

Bai Li's thoughts were interrupted, and she turned her head to look.

Chen Tingting had already bought the meat, and her heavily tattooed arm was also carrying two beautifully packaged boxes of Fenjiu liquor.

Three other maids followed behind.

They were carrying bags and packages, which were blocking the car door.

Bai Li turned off her phone screen without making a sound and casually put it into her trench coat pocket.

"Nothing, just replying to a work message."

He walked around to the back of the car and opened the trunk:

"Have you bought everything? If so, let's get ready to go home."

The four girls quickly stuffed their belongings into the trunk.

Two smartphones with large fonts and loud volume;

Barbie dolls and invisible ink pens for little girls

High-end packaged Fenjiu liquor, and a whole bunch of carefully selected premium beef and lamb chops from the supermarket's fresh produce section.

The items weren't particularly valuable, but they filled the Panamera's trunk to the brim.

"It's all here!"

Lin Xiaoshuang patted the dust off her hands, her baby face full of pride:

"It feels so good to buy all of this with our own money!"

Li Jiaxin tossed her purple bangs with a cool and confident flick, took a long stride, and opened the back door of the car:

"Of course."

The girls chattered as they squeezed into the car.

Bai Li returned to the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, and put the car in Drive.

"Let's go."

"Tingting, can you give me directions?"

"Come on, brother, head west out of town. We don't need to take the main highway; I know a shortcut that will save us several kilometers!"

The car drove out of Pingxian County.

The surrounding scenery changed from high-rise buildings to low-rise bungalows and farmland.

Following Chen Tingting's directions, Bai Li turned onto a side road.

I had only driven in for less than fifty meters when the feel under the tires completely changed.

The car made a clattering sound of tiny stones rubbing against the tires, and the car body swayed slightly.

Bai Li slowed down and looked ahead through the windshield.

This isn't a path; it's a long-neglected dirt and gravel road.

The road surface was full of potholes of all sizes, and in some places, rainwater had accumulated, making it muddy and impassable.

"Tingting, are you sure this is a path a normal person would walk on?"

Bai Li gripped the steering wheel tightly, trying to avoid a mud pit the size of a washbasin.

In recent years, Pingxian County has been carrying out infrastructure construction. Not to mention the area around the county seat, even in more remote areas, smooth asphalt roads have been laid.

Even in his remote hometown of Baijia Village, a wide lime road was built after the New Year.

These kinds of rough, gravel roads are really hard to find these days.

Chen Tingting waved her hand dismissively, her red ponytail swaying from side to side with the swaying of the car body.

"Don't worry, brother! This road is definitely passable!"

She patted her chest and guaranteed:

"It's just this short, slightly difficult stretch. Once you get over that small dirt hill, it's all smooth, paved road!"

It turns out.

Never trust the judgment of a young woman who spends most of her time wandering the streets on foot about road conditions.

This so-called "short section" of road actually stretches for nearly two kilometers.

Moreover, the road conditions are getting increasingly absurd.

It was originally just a small pit or depression.

Further along the road, we found mounds of earth rising up in the middle, with large rocks scattered on both sides, some from tractors.

In pursuit of handling and speed, the chassis of a million-dollar sports sedan like the Panamera is tuned to be extremely low.

Walking on this washboard road is simply a sin.

The ride was bumpy and jolting, and the scene in the back seat was comparable to a trampoline scene.

Zhang Qian finally managed to steady herself and reached out to brush the blue hair that was scattered on her face.

Looking at the dust billowing up outside the window, she couldn't help but complain out loud.

"I'm not trying to be mean, Tingting."

Zhang Qian, panting heavily, pointed to the messy pavement beneath her feet:

"Is this a one-on-one match?"

"How can it be shaking so much?"

We drove another two hundred meters or so.

Bai Li and his group finally drove off the gravel road and onto the asphalt road.

All five people collapsed onto the leather seats.

Lin Xiaoshuang rubbed her bottom and said:

"Ouch, I never thought my butt could suffer like this even when I'm not in bed."

Chen Tingting stuck out her tongue shyly:

"I didn't expect the road conditions here to be this bad after it rained, hehe~"

The girls were laughing and joking around.

Just then.

Bai Li's WeChat notifications kept coming in one after another.

"Buzzing—"

"Buzzing—"

Before Bai Li could even look at her phone, Chen Tingting snatched it away and said:

"Brother, it's not safe for you to look at your phone while driving. Let me read it for you."

Bai Li nodded.

He felt like he had forgotten something, but he still bravely said:

"See?"

He quickly went through the recent chat history in his mind.

Wang Wei?

It's all work, nothing but work, nothing to do.

Jiang Ruyue or Li Mengmeng?

The young women have already tacitly accepted their existence and are not afraid.

Xie Lingmo?

Several tens of minutes have passed since the transfer. What were the last three words I sent?

Look at the legs!

Done!

But the conversation had already reached this point, and Chen Tingting was holding her phone, ready to unlock it.

If we seize it now, wouldn't that be like trying to hide something obvious?

Don't panic.

Then, Chen Tingting picked up Bai Li's phone and started looking at it.

One second, two seconds.

He stared at it for several dozen seconds without saying a word.

Chen Tingting lowered her head, her red ponytail hanging down in front of her chest.

There was no sound at all inside the carriage.

Chen Tingting, who had just been loudly offering to help read the message aloud, has now become completely mute.

Lin Xiaoshuang felt something was strange and leaned over:

"Sister Tingting, read it aloud, who sent Big Brother such frequent messages?"

Upon seeing this, she fell silent.

Li Jiaxin and Zhang Qian exchanged a glance and then moved closer.

Four brightly colored heads huddled together, four pairs of eyes staring at Bai Li's phone.

Bai Li gripped the steering wheel with both hands, his palms sweaty.

This deathly silence was even more frightening than if the four of them had started yelling at each other in the street.

Bai Li felt increasingly uneasy.

Bai Li cleared his throat, trying to break the eerie silence:

"Who sent it? Wang Wei?"

No one responded.

Bai Li's Adam's apple bobbed twice:

"Could it be that the web series has been taken down?"

Still, no one paid any attention to him.

at last.

Chen Tingting raised her head, her chest heaving violently twice.

As expected, Chen Tingting said quietly:

"Big brother..."

"Didn't you say that you and Xie Lingmo were just online friends?"

Chen Tingting waved her phone screen at Bai Li.

Inside were Xie Lingmo's shapely thighs and slender calves, still wearing white cotton socks...

"What does this mean?"

Her voice rose in pitch, and the veins on her heavily tattooed arms bulged:

"You'd better give me an explanation..."
