Chapter 512: Outwitting the Sea Turtle (2/2)

I merely smiled back at him before I called my bank. After that, I gave them Richard’s bank card number and said, “ICBC, help me transfer one hundred and twenty-seven thousand RMB into this account, thank you.”

The female customer service officer’s attitude was good! She let out a sweet laugh as she replied, “We’ve finished the transfer! Thank you for supporting and believing in ICBC!”

“Thank you!”

At this moment, Richard heard a “beep” from his phone. He looked at it and saw that he had received a fund transfer message from ICBC. His face immediately grew even paler as he stared at me in a dumbfounded manner. “Who… Who the heck are you?”

I grinned as I said, “I’m a member of the Frost Cloud Workshop in a game called Heavenblessed. That’s one hat I wear. I’m also working as the assistant to the HR manager of the GSS Suzhou branch. Is that good enough for you…”

Richard, “...”

He Yi was desperately trying to hold in her laughter. She looked down and discreetly sent me a message: “Omigosh, please don’t make him die of an apoplexy hahaha! He came all the way back home just for this. This child doesn’t have an easy life…”

I couldn’t help but chuckle as I sent a message back to her: “Hmph, if he didn’t try to act in such an arrogant manner, I wouldn’t have bothered tormenting him. What’s more, I really came here today to eat! It isn’t even worthwhile for me to match wits or courage with a man like Richard. He simply isn’t worthy! But I just have one question. Eve, do you really like that necklace?”

“Of course I like it! I’ll like any gift that you give me!”

“That’s good then!”

I kept my phone in my pocket and looked up to see He Yi lean towards her mother. Her hair cascaded down one of her shoulders like a beautiful waterfall and when her gaze met mine, her lips curved up in a smile that was as beautiful and mesmerizing as a drowsy autumn evening.

I was lost in that smile and even Richard had to resist the urge to wipe drool from the corner of his lips. After that, he shot me a look of enmity.

However, I had no inclination or desire to even acknowledge this fellow. The dishes started arriving one by one and our table was soon filled with delicious food. I poured out some beer for He Yi’s mother before very respectfully toasting her. He Yi’s mother didn’t seem to have a very bad impression of me either, so she smiled and nodded her head as she accepted my toast.

Finally it was time to eat. I swept the two plates nearest to me clean of food as I ravenously gulped them down like a hungry wolf. I even ate eight maize cakes all by myself.

Helping Lin Yixin defend that territory of hers had made all of us ravenously hungry. We definitely had to have a few more meals on Beauty Lin’s tab after this!

……

While He Yi and I thoroughly enjoyed this meal, it had quickly become a torturous experience for Richard. As an “outstanding youth” who had just returned from studying at a prestigious university in America, his self-esteem was very high. Yet he had been stymied by me time and again. It was as if he kept slamming in a wall that he simply could not hurdle.

When he suddenly started talking about genetics again, I simply kept quiet. After all, I didn’t know a thing about genes and DNA. As a master strategist, I wasn’t going to meet my enemy’s strength with my weakness. I waited for Richard to wear himself out before I passed him a cup of tea and asked “Do Americans like to eat Mala Soup?” and that was enough to instantly KO him.

After that, Richard decided to cut his losses and quit while he was ahead. He suddenly excused himself even though he didn’t look like he had eaten his fill. But he still tried to exchange numbers with He Yi so he could contact her in the future, it looked like he couldn’t bring himself to give up on a super beauty like her! He Yi’s smile was like a refreshing spring breeze, her eyes sparkling like limpid pools of water, as she cheerfully passed him my number. Bloody hell!

……

On the road back home.

“Ah, that really hit the spot…” I said as I patted my stomach happily.

I turned around to look at He Yi, who was driving, and said, “Eve, what were you whispering to Aunty just now?”

“We were gossipping about you.”

“Oh, what did you say about me?”

“Heehee…” He Yi giggled before she replied, “Mom said that you’re a very naughty fellow!”

I, “...”

Forget it, I’m okay with being a little bad. It’s not a bad thing, after all.

“What are you going to do when we get back?” I asked.

“I’ll go online to sell some items before going to sleep. I picked up quite a few good items when we were fighting Gods of Destruction…”

“Bloody hell. I thought we agreed that we wouldn’t swallow these items for ourselves! Can you still call yourself our guild leader?”

He Yi giggled before she proudly thrust her 34Ds into the air and said, “So what if I’m the guild leader? One can’t be silly when opportunity comes calling! Besides, you picked up way more items than me! To think that you still have the cheek to criticize me…”

I grinned as I stared at the seatbelt strapped across He Yi’s chest. That pitiful seatbelt was nestled in between my beautiful guild leader’s “twin towers”, and it looked so stretched that it was about to snap.

Worry flashed through my mind before I remembered that a Lamborghini should have very sturdy seatbelts. At the very least, it was way sturdier than the seatbelts of a Toyota Camry.

It was already nine in the evening by the time we returned to the workshop. Murong Mingyue and Beiming Xue were still online and they seemed to be busy hawking their ill-gotten gains. We could earn tens of thousands of dollars by selling the equipment dropped by the experts in Gods of Destruction and Mad Dragon to normal players. This money was our precious living expenses.
