After completing my life's work, I achieved financial freedom.

Yunqi Butterfly Valley, Villa No. 47, Jade Butterfly Garden.

Gu Bai sat leisurely on the sofa with his legs crossed, his phone displaying the game "Honor of Kings".

He charged forward with Han Xin and got right up to the face of the enemy Donghuang. Before he could even use his next skill, Donghuang had already pinned him to the ground. Then, in less than three seconds, he was easily shot through by Hou Yi.

当屏幕灰下去的一瞬间，原本右上角那0/6/3也成功的变成了0/7/3。

Di Renjie: Han Xin, do you even know how to play? Stop feeding, okay? I'll f*** you.

"This is so boring..."

Gu Bai sighed softly and casually tossed his phone aside.

Back in the day, he was a top-tier Han Xin player, but who would have thought that after just three short years of not playing, he'd become so bad...

"Sigh, I'm getting old after all. My body's reaction speed can't keep up with my brain's..."

As many people have commented online, even with the most advanced computer, the aging body parts of a middle-aged person can no longer provide the same exhilarating gaming experience as before.

He used to be able to get national certifications even with a crappy phone that would lag from time to time, but now he's using the latest iPhone and he still manages to make his teammates want to curse.

Perhaps this is what they mean by "wanting to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine, but it's not like the carefree days of youth!"

At the very moment Gu Bai expressed such sentiments, a pale blue light screen appeared in front of him.

This light screen was none other than his system screen.

"Another mission?"

Although he had only completed the task a few times, he was already deeply impressed by this scene; it was clearly a prelude to the release of a system task.

Think about what I was just playing a game, and then reflect on my feelings.

"Could this mission be related to playing games?"

As a mature host, Gu Bai has already learned to answer questions quickly.

[Side Quest: A complete life shouldn't be left with regrets by games]

[Task Description: Some say that wanting to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine will never be the same as the carefree days of youth. But a complete life doesn't allow for such a situation; a complete life should, no matter what happens, always be like the carefree days of youth.]

[Task Requirement: Personally reduce Han Xin's ranking in Honor of Kings to the national rank]

[Task Rewards: Rewards of varying value are given based on the time taken to complete the task (the shorter the time, the richer the reward)]

........

As expected, when Gu Bai saw the mission, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, as if to say, "I've seen through you, System."

He seems to have found the correct way to trigger the system task...

Suppress your excitement; after all, whether it's the correct posture still needs to be tested later.

The most important thing right now is to complete this time-limited task.

As for how to apply the national standard...

Gu Bai decided that with his current poor cooking skills, it would be quite difficult for him to achieve national standards on his own.

But...

He's rich...

As the saying goes: "A young and accomplished man drives a Bentley; life is like playing a game."

So what if I'm bad at games because I'm rich? Just because I'm bad at games doesn't mean everyone else is bad at games too.

If he finds four top-tier companions, getting him to a national standard level would be a piece of cake, right?

Han Xin is the one he plays, so he personally demonstrated the national standard, no problem!

As for the four companions...

Isn't it normal for teammates to be better?

Just as Gu Bai was wondering what channels to use to find some companions to take him to ballroom dancing, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked into the villa.

The man was impeccably dressed in a suit, with a resolute face, giving him the appearance of a thug in a suit at first glance.

Behind the man followed Huang Qian, who kept her head down and remained silent.

Huang Qian was completely dumbfounded. She had just been chatting with her best friend outside the door about her weekend plans when Manager Liu from the company suddenly appeared out of nowhere and made her follow him in without giving her a chance to speak.

"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. This is General Manager Liu Bo. I'm truly sorry that the negligence of our company's employees has upset you..."

Liu Bo's first words were an apology, which instantly brought Huang Qian, who was still in a daze, back to her senses.

So it was this poor bastard who snitched!

Although Huang Qian kept her head down, her eyes were already filled with displeasure.

This dissatisfaction wasn't just directed at Gu Bai, but also at her own boss, Liu Bo.

"Has Liu Bo been kneeling for too long? This guy in front of me is obviously not someone who can afford to live here, and I'm actually apologizing to him. It's such a waste of my energy."

While Huang Qian was muttering to herself, she didn't forget to secretly take out her phone and complain to her best friend about what was happening here.

Huang Qian: Who would understand...? Let me tell you, our...

This person is clearly a veteran Little Red Book user.

"Well, let's talk about this villa first. I'm very satisfied with it. I wonder how much the rent is? If the price is right, I think we can sign the contract today."

Gu Bai simply nodded and asked about the villa's rent in a nonchalant tone.

What Gu Bai didn't know was that as soon as he asked the question, Huang Qian's expression, which had been full of resentment, froze on her face.

A bad feeling crept into my heart...

"This is bad!" Huang Qian thought to herself.

As if to confirm his own thoughts, Liu Bo gave her a cold look before smiling and saying.

"Alright, Mr. Gu, let's talk about this villa first..."

As they were talking, Liu Bo had already sat down next to Gu Bai quite naturally, and a few A4 sheets of paper had appeared in his hand at some point, all of which contained detailed information about the villa.

"This villa occupies an area of... Its owner resides abroad year-round to manage an overseas subsidiary, and this villa is one of the many assets he has entrusted us to rent out."

Gu Bai listened attentively to what the other person was saying, mainly about when the villa was built and whether the furniture was new.

After all, he didn't know how long he would be staying here, so it was better to be careful about these things.

"Hmm, it's alright. What about the price?"

Gu Bai remained expressionless, revealing an interest but not much.

He's rich, but he's not a sucker. If he showed that he really wanted it, he'd get ripped off.

"This villa costs 50,000 yuan per month, with a deposit of one month's rent and three months' rent paid upfront. The property management fee is 8 yuan per square meter, totaling 3200 yuan per month..."

While Gu Bai and Liu Bo were talking about these things, Huang Qian, who was standing to the side, was already drenched in sweat.

As a seasoned salesperson, she naturally understood what reaching this stage meant...

This means she might lose her job...

But none of this was within Gu Bai's scope of concern.

We are all adults and must be responsible for our own actions...
