Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

"It's time to claim the prize."

Xu Zhiyi's voice wasn't loud, but it made the stall owner's heart tremble slightly.

"That's right!" Tang Qingxi chimed in, looking at the stall owner triumphantly. "As agreed before, all the prizes on your stall should now belong to him!"

The stall owner stood behind his stall, his face alternating between pale and flushed.

He could hardly believe that the scheme he had painstakingly devised had been so easily crushed in just over ten minutes!

What kind of monster is this?!

He glanced at the prizes on the stall. Leaving aside the cheap trinkets, the new Nintendo Switch console alone cost over three thousand yuan, along with a robot vacuum cleaner worth over two thousand yuan, Bluetooth speakers, branded wireless headphones, co-branded figurines, plush toys... all in all, it was worth at least seven or eight thousand yuan!

If he actually wins the prize, he'll lose a lot of money!

If you don't redeem it...

He glanced around and saw that a crowd of onlookers had already gathered three or four deep, all waiting for him to claim his prize, perfectly demonstrating what it means to "watch the excitement and not mind the trouble"!

Seeing that the stall owner remained unmoved, Tang Qingxi's expression turned cold. "Trying to renege on your debt, huh? Let me tell you, everyone's watching, and there's video evidence. If you dare to back out, I'll call the police right now!"

Before the words were finished, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the crowd: "Young lady, you can't say that. It's not easy for people to run a small business. If they weren't struggling financially, who would be willing to brave the wind and rain and stand here in the scorching sun all day long?"

Besides, these prizes add up to a lot of money. If he loses them all, his little stall probably won't be able to stay afloat. Young man, please be understanding. Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth!

Then another man chimed in, "That's right, it's not easy being away from home. The young man seems kind-hearted; he certainly wouldn't drive someone to despair."

"How about you, boss, take out your most expensive game console and give it to him? Let's be friends, okay?"

"Who wants to be your friend!"

Tang Qingxi was so angry that her eyebrows shot up. Her eyes searched through the crowd. "When we were being scammed just now, you were the ones making sarcastic remarks! Why didn't you say 'harmony brings wealth' back then?"

I think you guys are shills for this boss, you're all in cahoots with him!

And they keep saying "the boss has it tough," but does that mean we customers have it easy? Do you think our money grows on trees? Well, let's just say this: you gamble, you lose!

If you don't pay out the prize, we'll call the police!

I'd like to see if you can even keep this stall going!

The onlookers, who were already on Xu Zhiyi's side, began to criticize the stall owner when they saw he had no intention of awarding the prize.

"The young lady is right! A bet's a bet!"

"If you lose, you have to accept it!"

"If you can't handle the risk, don't set up this stall!"

"Boss, stop dawdling and claim your prize!"

"We've all taken photos. If you don't claim your prize, I'll post them online and let everyone judge!"

"Boss, hurry up and be straightforward, don't let people look down on us!"

"..."

Seeing the crowd's outrage, the two accomplices dared not speak again.

The stall owner knew he had to bleed some money today.

Otherwise, I won't be able to set up this stall in the future!

He forced an awkward smile and said irritably, "I never said I wouldn't honor the prize! Everyone, please don't worry, I'm always fair in business, the prize will definitely be honored!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Xu Zhiyi.

"Young man, look at all these prizes. I bet you can't carry them all by yourself, right? How about we make a deal? I'll give you the prizes at market value!"

Xu Zhiyi nodded; he had originally planned to do the same.

"How much cash are you planning to cash out?"

"Look... how about six thousand yuan?" the stall owner asked tentatively.

"Six thousand? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?" Tang Qingxi exploded upon hearing this.

She pointed to the prizes on the stall as if they were her own treasures, "That NS game console is the new 2nd generation, the official price is over three thousand! And that robot vacuum cleaner, it sells for over two thousand on JD.com!"

These two items alone cost almost six thousand!

As for the remaining smart speakers, electronic bracelets, co-branded figurines... I don't even need to calculate the exact price; I can easily sell them for three or four thousand yuan on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace)!

You think you can just give us six thousand yuan and call us a day?

Xu Zhiyi wasn't really clear about the true value of these prizes, so since Tang Qingxi was more knowledgeable about them, he was happy to step aside and hand over the right to negotiate to her.

Tang Qingxi lived up to his trust.

After some intense bargaining, we successfully raised the discounted price to eight thousand yuan!

The stall owner's heart was bleeding when he scanned the QR code to transfer money to Xu Zhiyi.

[Received 8000]

Seeing the message pop up on her phone, Xu Zhiyi nodded, giving the stall owner a satisfied smile. "Boss, what time will you be setting up your stall tomorrow?"

The stall owner's face immediately darkened, and a surge of shame and anger rushed to his head.

"Don't rush," Xu Zhiyi smiled slightly, and said meaningfully, "If your balloon arrangement isn't difficult, I won't be interested either."

Upon hearing this, the stall owner's anger, which had just risen, immediately subsided by more than half.

He wasn't stupid; he could naturally understand what the other person meant and knew that all his little tricks on the balloon had been seen through.

However, the other party did not expose him in public, but only warned him in secret: If you try anything again, I will come again!

This kid is so young, yet he's so meticulous in everything he does!

It seems like this darts stall can't be set up anymore!

We need to think of some other methods!

……

Xu Zhiyi had no idea that his words would make the stall owner consider changing careers.

He had already left the square with Tang Qingxi and the others, and they walked together to the nearby subway station.

In the center of his vision, a light blue game panel quietly appeared:

[Task Completed]

[Congratulations to the player for successfully punishing the Thousand Gates disciples who set up the scheme to embezzle funds!]

[Rewards: Experience Points +800, Silver Coins +5]

Current Level: Lv.4 (805/2800)

Xu Zhiyi's lips curved slightly upwards.

Today was a very fruitful day.

Not only did they find a stable part-time job, they also unexpectedly made a fortune.

Could it be that my fortune has truly improved?

He felt his pocket, and inside was that old-fashioned coin known as the "God of Money"... oh, no, it should be called a magic weapon!

……

5:30 p.m.

It was rush hour, and the subway cars were very crowded.

Tang Qingxi managed to grab two seats, giving them to the girl in the Kikyo shrine maiden outfit and the girl with cat ear headbands. She herself stood with Xu Zhiyi and the "ninja".

The group huddled together, excitedly recounting what had just happened.

"Did you see the boss's expression? His face was as black as the bottom of a pot! Especially when the last balloon popped, his eyes almost bulged out!"

Tang Qingxi described the scene she saw with great enthusiasm and vivid detail.

"Your little brother is something else, his dart throwing is absolutely amazing! He must have practiced for a long time, right?" The cat-eared girl said, glancing at Xu Zhiyi with sparkling eyes.

Xu Zhiyi nodded upon hearing this, "I practiced it when I was a child."

"That's really impressive. You can't master dart throwing like that in just a few years!" The boy cosplaying as a ninja couldn't help but interject. He had already taken off his mask, revealing a handsome and slender face. "But compared to the experts I know on Bilibili, he's still far behind!"

Those streamers who specialize in darts can all pop balloons with darts, pierce apples with needles, and open bottle caps with pebbles!

"Why are you bringing this up so much?" Tang Qingxi rolled her eyes at him. "No matter how good those streamers are, can they help us get revenge?"

"Exactly, exactly!" The cat-eared girl nodded repeatedly. "Thanks to Xixi's little brother today, otherwise that unscrupulous boss would have driven me crazy!"

The girl dressed as a shrine maiden nodded, still shaken, and whispered to Tang Qingxi, "Qingxi, how come I've never heard of you having a younger brother before?"

"He's my neighbor's younger brother, I've watched him grow up! He's just started his senior year of high school, in the top class at Xicheng No. 1 High School." Tang Qingxi puffed out her chest, looking quite proud. "How about that, impressive, right?"

Xu Zhiyi's lips twitched upon hearing this.

It's not certain who watches whom grow up.

"Wow, that's amazing!" The cat-eared girl's eyes sparkled even brighter. "Tall, handsome, great at darts, and a top student... Little Xu is quite the all-rounder!"

"Of course..." Tang Qingxi was about to continue boasting when Xu Zhiyi interrupted her, asking, "How much did you lose just now?"

The group quieted down.

Tang Qingxi rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "Why are you asking this?"

"curious."

"The rest of us only spent a few dozen yuan each, but Chen Minghao played more and got ripped off by more than three hundred yuan."

Chen Minghao is the boy who cosplayed as a ninja.

Even though he played the most and lost the most, when he got into an argument with the stall owner, he stood behind a few girls and didn't say a word for a long time.

His expression turned sour when the topic of the three hundred yuan was brought up.

"More than three hundred?"

Xu Zhiyi nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

Upon seeing this, Tang Qingxi immediately narrowed her eyes warily.

"What do you mean? You're not planning to give us the money back, are you? Let me tell you, there's no need for that. We were stupid and got tricked by that boss into falling into the trap. It has nothing to do with you."

"You earned that eight thousand yuan through your own abilities, we don't want a single penny!"

Her companions around her nodded in agreement.

Xu Zhiyi rolled her eyes at her. "You're overthinking it. I earned the money, why should I give it to you?"

Tang Qingxi: "..."

So she was just being delusional!

At this moment, Xu Zhiyi said slowly, "But what you just said is not wrong. The reason you got scammed is not because you were unlucky, nor because the boss was good at fooling you. It's simply because you were too stupid."
