Reborn in 2000: I just want to love a few people properly.
Chapter 5: Judging Winners and Losers by Games
"Brother Bo, you really are different now, you have some of my style."
Liu Mei was also surprised by Xu Bo's point of view, but perhaps due to her girlish pride, she gave a disdainful laugh.
Then she turned to kiss Yang Xun beside her, but Yang Xun turned away.
"I'm a very traditional person, at most I'll hold your hand."
It seems that Liu Mei is not Yang Xun's muse either.
"There are so few people playing arcade games these days."
Chen Ying suddenly said that his family was not well-off. His parents were honest farmers who only moved to the city so that their son could go to school. He also had a younger sister who was in elementary school.
Spending time online with Yang Xun during this period depleted his allowance.
"These things will eventually become obsolete due to the times."
After Xu Bo finished his beer in one gulp, his eyes darted around as if he had thought of something, and he turned to ask Liu Mei.
Do you have any girlfriends who can dance or something?
Holding onto Yang Xun's arm, Liu Mei said, feigning impatience.
"Yes, there are many. I can introduce you to someone if you're looking for a partner."
For some reason, Liu Mei had a bad feeling about Xu Bo and was somewhat afraid of the aura he exuded.
She had only ever seen that kind of aura on the owners of karaoke bars.
Are you going back later?
"If you're not in a hurry, come with me to discuss this further."
Xu Bo looked at Chen Ying and asked.
It was getting late, and Chen Ying should go home to check on his younger sister's homework.
"What's wrong, Xiao Bo! Who are you talking to?!"
Yang Xun stood up abruptly, gripping the beer bottle tightly in his hand. During their three years of high school, he and Xu Bo often used it as a weapon to scare away guys outside the school who wanted to bully them.
"No rush, just call me if you need anything, Brother Bo."
After Chen Ying finished the last skewer with the remaining oil, he said softly.
"You sit down too."
After greeting Yang Xun, Xu Bo continued.
"If you have sisters and want to make quick money, have Yang Xun bring you to me tomorrow morning."
Liu Mei frowned slightly as she spoke.
"We don't do anything illegal or criminal, but we're all good girls."
"Don't worry, it's a legitimate business."
After saying that, Xu Bo stood up and shouted.
"Boss, check please!"
He tossed down a fifty-yuan note and left without looking back, displaying a rather dashing air.
"See that? My buddy's got style!"
Although Yang Xun felt that Xu Bo was being a bit pretentious, he didn't say anything more because of the girl next to him.
Only after the boss finished calculating the bill did Chen Ying return the change to Xu Bo.
There were many passersby. Although it was a bit stuffy, the cool breeze was still a bit overwhelming.
The road is lined with residential areas, and there are many people coming and going. The colorful signs are urging every potential customer to open their wallet.
But the arcade across the street was deserted, with a few young men dressed in fancy clothes sitting at the entrance, controlling the joysticks and dominating the game.
Xu Bo, however, was not afraid at all and walked straight inside.
"Call your boss out here, I have a business deal to discuss with him!"
The blond-haired young man, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, glanced up and said calmly.
"If you're not selling the house, get out of here!"
He then transformed into Iori Yagami and unleashed the Dream Bullet, but Chang Koehan defended in time and seized the opportunity to crush him with an iron ball, ending the battle instantly.
"Aren't you leaving yet!"
Feeling outmatched in skill and speechless, the young man with blond hair could only vent his anger on Xu Bo.
With a roar, several figures slowly emerged from the store. Their arms, visible beneath their clothes, appeared bulky, clearly indicating they were concealing weapons.
Although Yang Xun was afraid, he still held Liu Mei tightly behind him, while Chen Ying, with his back to the two, nervously looked around.
Only Xu Bo remained calm and composed. He took out two cigarettes from his pocket, gave them to Huang Mao, and then lit one in his mouth.
"I told you, I'm here to talk business with you."
"Stop talking like that! Brother Song already said the house isn't for sale anymore, aren't you guys annoying?!"
The thug, who was shorter than Xu Bo, rushed forward and pointed at Xu Bo's chest, sternly rebuking him.
Xu Bo wasn't angry. He turned his head and smiled at Song Leisong.
"Want to play a round? If I win, we can talk things out."
Song Leisong has been on Weisan Road for so many years and has seen all kinds of people, but he has never seen anyone like this before.
The downy hair on his lips was so soft, yet his eyes were as cold as a block of ice.
"No need, tell me what you do first."
After waving away a few people, Song Leisong sat on a long bench and asked softly.
Xu Bo stubbed out his cigarette with the sole of his shoe, then pulled over a stool and sat down next to Song Leisong.
Instead of answering his question, she raised further questions.
"How much does your nearly bankrupt shop make in a day?"
Just as Song Leisong had managed to suppress his anger, it suddenly flared up again. Who would come at someone so directly and attack their very core right from the start?
But when he saw Xu Bo's smiling eyes, he inexplicably blurted out something.
"I can make around a hundred a day."
At that time, an arcade coin cost about two or three yuan. This shop probably had about ten machines, but its daily income was only that much. You can imagine how miserable it was.
"Dude, I just got into university. My family has billions of dollars waiting for me to inherit, so I want to try my hand at business and see if I'm cut out for it."
"Okay, I'll calculate it at two hundred a day. Starting tomorrow, for one week, I'll run this shop and keep all the income. After one week, I'll return it to you in full."
"how?"
With a whoosh, Song Leisong immediately stood up, the acne scars on his face shrinking as his expression changed, and pointed at Xu Bo, shouting loudly.
"Damn it! After listening to all this, you still want to buy my house!"
This house was the last thing Song Leisong's grandmother left him. His parents died early, and he struggled to make a living in this world by relying on this shop.
For him, the shop is not only property, but also a source of spiritual sustenance.
Xu Bo sighed, rubbed his forehead, shook his head, and explained again word by word before Song Leisong on the other side temporarily lowered his guard.
During this time, Chen Ying and Yang Xun stood behind Xu Bo with their fists clenched, without ever taking a step back.
"Here's three hundred, consider it a deposit. I have one more condition: these people in your shop will be under my command for a week, but only for matters within the shop."
Perhaps Xu Bo's ideas were too advanced, and Song Leisong, who had never been to school, couldn't quite grasp them for a moment.
He exchanged glances with the guys around him and found that they were all shaking their heads blankly, so he could only grit his teeth and say something.
"Let's play one round. If you win, I'll do whatever you say."
At this point, he handed the choice over to fate.
Xu Bo smiled brightly, sat down in front of the machine, and spoke loudly.
"I only need two lives; if I have one more, I'll admit defeat."
Upon hearing this, Liu Mei behind him frowned slightly, causing the white powder on her face to show some wrinkles.
"Don't worry, Brother Bo is known as the 'Third Middle School's Eight Gods Iori'."
Seeing his girlfriend's worry, Yang Xun whispered something in Liu Mei's ear.
He then pulled his girlfriend to sit on a bench and watched the battle with great interest.
Only Chen Ying remained, attempting to subdue the surrounding youths with his gaze amidst the tense standoff.
