Chapter 135: Chapter 118: I’ll Handle the Color-Changing Ink!_2

"I’ll introduce you, this is Ma Wancheng from the neighboring building unit. I met him when I went to do volunteer work."

"He happens to be a college student at Shu Cheng University nearby. Having a lot of free time and living close by, I recruited him to help manage some of the trivial tasks of operating our e-sports B&B, like identity registration and such."

Bai Shi introduced him with a smile.

Using the fifth floor for a small business was just to make do, so that Sun Huwen would be reassured that he wasn’t the kind to deplete his resources after acquiring some abnormalities.

In fact, he didn’t lack the money from running the B&B and had no wish to operate it himself.

So it was necessary to find a worker.

"Brother Bai! Brother Chen!"

Ma Wancheng bowed seriously, appearing very polite and measured.

He valued the high-paying job provided by Bai Shi tremendously.

What college student wouldn’t treasure a job where they could earn over ten thousand a month with an incredibly easy part-time gig? Not treasuring such a job meant you had a mine at home.

"Come on, go in and turn on the computer. Watch how Brother Bai and Brother Chen demonstrate what gaming skills are. We’ll hang the pros up to dry."

Bai Shi hooked Chen Yun’s shoulder arrogantly, his face full of swagger and confidence, vividly displaying what’s called "borrowing influence."

Ma Wancheng, upon hearing this,

immediately went into the house to start the computer, adjust the equipment, and conveniently prepared the pile of fruits and snacks bought for the celebration opening.

"Not blowing your own trumpet makes you uncomfortable, huh?"

Chen Yun teased Bai Shi in front of him with a laugh.

As he spoke, he even gave him a dismissive glance.

"What do you mean blowing my own trumpet? Are you saying our combined gaming skills can’t beat the pros?"

Bai Shi puffed out his chest, his words brimming with reasonable assurance.

His tone was as if a grown-up Liu Chan confidently bragged about how he and Uncle Zilong fought seven in and seven out at Changban Slope, even leading by a body’s length.

Such an explanation

left Chen Yun momentarily without a comeback.

Frankly, he could indeed carry Bai Shi, who wasn’t too much of a burden, through the chaos of professional play, not to mention that Bai Shi wasn’t that bad of a player.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yun said nothing more.

However, Bai Shi got carried away, and continued to boast, "Let me tell you, back in Lighthouse Country, do you know why I was wanted and had to flee overseas?"

"What?"

Chen Yun raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious.

Although he knew Bai Shi might be getting carried away with his boasts, there was a good chance he would mix in some truth, and curiosity made him continue listening.

"At that time, I joined a famous gang temporarily to help them draw the master plates for counterfeit notes."

"And then... heh heh heh heh..."

Bai Shi said this and stopped abruptly.

But Chen Yun, unimpressed, glanced at him and said, "Tell the truth."

If you really made it, could you still be internationally wanted and fleeing all over the world afterward?

Besides, today is April Fool’s Day. I don’t believe a word you’re saying.

"Alright."

"To tell you the truth, we were all set to pull off something big, aiming to strike a blow to the financial system of the Lighthouse Federation."

"But! That guy who went after the color-changing ink was too lousy, got discovered by the authorities, and then our whole operation was busted. Luckily, I ran fast."

"I always say I should’ve handled the color-changing ink myself!"

Bai Shi exclaimed with a hint of regret in his voice.

A lifetime of theft, forging artworks, never garnered as much attention as that counterfeiting caper. Nearly half the police force in Lighthouse Country was after them.

That internationally notorious gang didn’t have many who got away in the end.

Since then, he hadn’t touched such precarious ventures. Now looking back, he found it rather nostalgic.

Hearing this, Chen Yun patted Bai Shi on the shoulder with a chuckle.

You have to admit, this guy’s past experiences were indeed rich.

Just as he was about to say something more,

his Transparent World Perception detected Sun Huwen and Jiang Anping appearing downstairs.

Sun Huwen’s call came through to Bai Shi’s phone, "Big Light Bulb, I’m downstairs. What’s the plan for today’s opening celebration?"

"First, we’ll play some games, experience our e-sports B&B’s setup, then we’ll hang the B&B’s links on various platforms and officially open for business, and how about we all go out for a meal at noon?"

"Xiao Ma, set up two more computers for when your sister-in-law and the others arrive so we can team up with five."

Bai Shi said with a laugh, then pulled Chen Yun along with him down to welcome the two ladies.

Today’s opening of the e-sports B&B was to make his girlfriend Sun Huwen feel he wasn’t wasting away.

So naturally, he had to invite her over.

Once the four of them returned to the fifth floor, Ma Wancheng had also tidied up and was waiting.

Everyone took a seat in front of the living room’s computers, and worker Ma Wancheng was also asked by Bai Shi to sit down.

"What are we playing? Last time’s CS?"

Sun Huwen unceremoniously picked up a slice of watermelon from the table and asked after taking a bite.

"We can, Chen Yun is really good at CS, he can carry us."

Bai Shi said with a smile, then opened the gaming platform used for CS.

Because official CS servers often have unstable connections and rampant cheaters, most players prefer to play on gaming platforms.

"Chen Yun, awesome, carry us!"

Jiang Anping pronounced each word deliberately while peeling an orange from the table and seriously handed it to Chen Yun, as if it was a reward for him to play and carry the team.

Seeing this, Chen Yun shook his head in amusement and accepted the orange.

After launching the gaming platform, they could see a large advertisement on the homepage: [The Shucheng IEM will be held on April 8th at the Shucheng Financial City Performance Center, tickets available online now!]
