Chapter 161: I… I’m sorry! I got the wrong person!
Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
After entering the electronic shopping center, Song Shuhang bought a mobile phone and a SIM card for Senior White. Afterward, they bought a computer too.
The entire process was very quick and smooth. The prices of the mobile phone and the computer were so low that Song Shuhang was left dumbfounded.
He didn’t even need to haggle over the price; the shop owner had decided to sell them the goods at a price that was close to the buying price! In addition, he gave them both a members.h.i.+p and VIP card!
Of course, they could buy things at such a low price only because Senior White had followed behind Song Shuhang with a smile plastered on his face.
Senior White didn’t need to say or do anything. Him standing there was more than enough to make the shop owner drastically decrease the price; the latter even seemed to wish to gift them with the merchandise for free despite the loss it’d cause.
This was a wretched era where only looks matter.
Song Shuhang pondered a bit and decided to take another stroll in the shopping center with Senior White. Afterwards, he bought two tablets, his long-awaited single-lens reflex camera, and a small projector!
With Senior White by his side, he bought everything at a discounted price.
It was simply awesome!
The same thing would happen in games if you were to increase your Charm by 10 points; all the NPCs would suddenly start selling you items at a discounted rate. What a wondrous skill.
”Sir, once you’re done shopping, you should preserve the receipt of the payment. After spending 10,000 RMB, you will have the right to partic.i.p.ate in a lottery just outside the electronic shopping center, and the prizes aren’t half bad!” The owner of the shop where they had bought the camera warmly reminded.
Once every few months, the electronic shopping center would hold an event similar to a lottery; it was to keep the business flouris.h.i.+ng. Of course, most of these prizes were just consolation prizes.
”Thank you,” Song Shuhang replied with a smile. Then, he looked at his hands.
A notebook, two tablets, a single-lens reflex camera, an external hard-drive, a small projector… he had a lot of things with him.
Not good. He had bought too many things on the spur of the moment. And now, both his hands were occupied by the things he had purchased. If Senior White were to suddenly fall on the ground, he wouldn’t have the chance to stop him!
While thinking, he shot a glance at Senior White.
Senior White was very happy right now. He was completely engrossed in the mobile phone that Song Shuhang had bought for him. For the time being, it was unlikely that he would get distracted and lose himself in thought.
Senior White seemed to have noticed his gaze. Therefore, he raised his head and asked, ”Is everything alright? Do you want to take the bus to go back? This time, I’ll remember to restrain my aura.”
”Oh, it doesn’t matter. For some reason, I really want to take a walk. Let’s take a different road!” Song Shuhang said firmly. No matter what, he didn’t want to get on the bus with Senior White again!
”Hm, fine,” Senior White was a good-natured person, and also very easy to get along with. Moreover, he was someone that would show consideration for the younger generation. Northern River’s Loose Cultivator’s description was on the spot.
Just after exiting the electronic shopping center, they arrived at the place where the lottery was being drawn. Song Shuhang showed them the receipt; after adding together all the things they had bought, the money spent amounted to more than 20,000 RMB. Therefore, they could draw the lottery twice.
”Please, draw your lottery from here,” the boy in charge smiled at Song Shuhang. The lottery was quite old-fas.h.i.+oned; they were using scratch cards.
Senior White was looking at Song Shuhang with a curious expression.
”Behold. I have the legendary ‘一’ character on my hand. Since little, I have been considered an expert at drawing lotteries!” Song Shuhang blew some air on his palms and went toward the lottery box. Afterwards, he picked up a scratchcard and started to scratch at it. [1]
The boy came closer to take a look. Afterwards, he said with a smile, ”Congratulations, you won a consolation prize!”
Then, he pa.s.sed a hand-sized teddybear to Song Shuhang.
Consolation prize~
Song Shuhang took the small stuffed animal and said with a bitter smile, ”Hehe. My luck wasn’t too good today. Senior White, do you want to give a try?”
”Sure!” Senior White happily smiled. He also blew some air on his palms like Song Shuhang and went toward the box. He picked a scratchcard and started to scratch at it.
The boy came closer to take a look once again. At this time, he immediately shouted, ”Congratulations! You’ve won the special prize! It’s a new generation notebook worth 10,000 RMB! Brother, your luck is just too good!”
”Thanks,” Senior White took the notebook and smiled at the boy.
This smile was the most beautiful smile of the world. The boy was immediately stunned.
”You’re welcome, you’re welcome,” he was standing in place and laughing foolishly. He kept waving his hand in a daze—and didn’t stop even when they’ve long disappeared...
After a while...
‘F*ck, wasn’t that a male?’ The boy finally came to his senses. He quickly placed a hand on his chest.
His heart was beating very fast.
Jesus, do I swing that way?
***
Inside the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
True Monarch Yellow Mountain suddenly wrote in the group, ”Little Friend Song Shuhang, are you there?”
Shuhang was still outside. Therefore, he didn’t reply.
After a long time.
Cave Lord Snow Wolf replied, ”It seems he has gone out with Senior White. Speaking of which, True Monarch White came out of secluded meditation a while ago. That strange luck should start to take effect, right?”
True Monarch Yellow Mountain nodded and said, ”At this time, it should have already started to take effect.”
”Is that so? So ‘lucky’!” Cave Lord Snow Wolf said, both envious and fearful.
”Yeah, ‘lucky’,” True Monarch Yellow Mountain also sighed with emotion. ”So, did any of you told Shuhang to pay attention to Senior White’s mysterious luck?”
Cave Lord Snow Wolf answered surprised, ”What? True Monarch, you didn’t remind him?”
”Who was the one that tricked him into accepting this task? Why should I be the one to remind him?” True Monarch Yellow Mountain replied with a question of his own, somewhat baffled.
”But wasn’t it the founder of the group who issued the task?” Cave Lord Snow Wolf said.
True Monarch Yellow Mountain: ”...”
After a while.
”I’ll give him a call,” True Monarch Yellow Mountain said, ”Who has his phone number? I forgot to save it last time.”
Scholar Drunken Moon: ”Me, I just gave him a phone recharge. I’ll send it to you.”

On another side. On the way back, Song Shuhang had decided to choose a deserted road.
He was leading the way, and Senior White was obediently following on his right side while playing with the mobile phone.
