C9 The Terrifying Main Storyline Mission Reward!!
"I wonder if I can safely get this 100 million out?"
Having achieved perfect-level speed, Lin Feng was elated, yet he soon found himself worrying.
The word on the street was that it's not so easy to walk away with winnings from Macao.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Just then—
A round of light applause broke the silence.
A tall, middle-aged man in a luxurious suit, cigar in hand, approached with a beaming smile and a hearty voice. "Hello, Mr. Lin. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Chen Ziyou, the owner of this casino. It's a great pleasure to have you here!"
Chen Ziyou was all grins. "Today, Mr. Lin, you've had incredible luck, winning over 100 million in my establishment. It's a cause for celebration! In fact, it's like a top-tier advertisement for my casino! I owe you thanks, Mr. Lin."
"Thanking me for winning? Do all business magnates have such a way with words?" Lin Feng quirked an eyebrow, clearly enjoying the compliment.
He had braced himself for a confrontation, expecting Chen to prevent him from leaving with his winnings.
But things weren't as he had imagined!
He had won a fortune, and Chen seemed genuinely pleased!
"Boss Chen, you flatter me. I just got lucky and won a bit of money. No thanks are necessary. However, I would appreciate it if you could expedite the transfer of the funds to my account," Lin Feng said with a smile.
Since Chen showed no malice and was quite amiable, Lin Feng was more than willing to engage in further conversation.
"Haha... consider it done," Chen Ziyou laughed heartily, gesturing with a wave of his hand. A poised female secretary promptly came forward, took Lin Feng's bank card with respect, and efficiently exchanged the chips for cash before transferring it to his account.
Chen Ziyou then escorted Lin Feng to the center of the casino floor.
In that moment, Lin Feng became the focus of everyone's attention.
Chen Ziyou, puffing on his cigar and still smiling warmly, announced, "Friends, let's give a round of applause to celebrate. Today, in my casino, we welcome a new billionaire!" Leading by example, Chen Ziyou started clapping enthusiastically.
Lin Feng chuckled, "Looks like Boss Chen is using me as a free billboard, huh?"
He was well aware of the other party's intentions.
Besides, the casino was a melting pot of characters!
Chen's strategy had clearly made Lin Feng a target for those with ulterior motives. As a newly minted billionaire, he could attract some unexpected windfalls. But Lin Feng wasn't concerned.
He casually surveyed the room, his gaze passing over the lovely Yi Yan. His mind was calm, like still water.
Out of nowhere, an exclamation pierced the air.
"Oh my goodness! Feng, you've become a billionaire just like that? That's incredible!"
Alice approached, her face etched with astonishment. Hearing about Lin Feng's remarkable success from others filled her with genuine joy.
She rushed into Lin Feng's embrace, her excitement palpable.
Yi Yan, amidst the crowd, felt a twinge of jealousy.
"Lin Feng already has a girlfriend? And she's such a gorgeous foreigner? Well, it figures. A guy as impressive as him would hardly be single," Yi Yan mused with a hint of melancholy.
Chen Ziyou spared no effort in promoting his casino.
Lin Feng seized the chance to slip away.
A brief promotion was fine, but anything longer would be overkill.
"Ding~"
A crisp notification sound interrupted his thoughts.
"Your bank account ending in 6642 has received an electronic transfer of $120,000,000.00..."
Lin Feng glanced at the message and his smile widened. "That was fast! Nice."
After pocketing the cash, he approached Yi Yan with Alice in tow. "Yi Yan, care to join us for a meal?"
Yi Yan's cheeks flushed at the invitation. She shook her head quickly, smiling. "No, thank you, Lin Feng. I'll be heading back to the mainland in two hours and won't have time to join you. It was a pleasure meeting you today. We have each other's contact information, so let's catch up once I'm back."
With a light laugh, Yi Yan waved goodbye.
"Sure thing! We'll be in touch," Lin Feng replied, waving back with a smile.
Stepping outside, Lin Feng was greeted by an expanse of blue sea and sky. However, his attention was quickly diverted.
A tall, middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit approached with a confident stride. His smile was warm and inviting as he extended his hand, saying, "Hello, Lin Feng. I'm Fann Tianlei, Chief of Staff for the Wolf Fang Special Combat Brigade in the Southeast Military Region. Violet has briefed me on your courageous actions. May we sit and have a chat?"
"Hmm? Fann Tianlei?" Lin Feng's eyebrows shot up in recognition. He had felt a sense of familiarity when Fann Tianlei approached, and now it clicked—it was indeed Fann Tianlei. What was he doing here?
"If you're here to recruit me into the military, save your breath," Lin Feng said, preemptively cutting him off. There was a well-known adage among special forces: cherish your life, stay away from Fann Tianlei! Known for his God Trapping BUFF, getting close to Fann Tianlei or catching his eye could lead to disastrous consequences, including being conned or worse, losing one's life. Lin Feng, basking in the prime of his life, wasn't ready to give up his current pleasures just yet.
"Uh..." Fann Tianlei hesitated, his intended words stifled by Lin Feng's blunt refusal. Did Lin Feng really have no interest in becoming a soldier?
"Haha... Let's set that aside for now. My primary purpose today is to extend Violet's gratitude to you. Since it's dinner time, let's chat over a meal," Fann Tianlei said with a hearty laugh.
"Sounds good!" Lin Feng agreed, smiling as he and Alice made their way to a nearby restaurant. Alice, now docile as a kitten under Lin Feng's tutelage, showed genuine affection for him. Lin Feng felt no need to keep his guard up around Fann Tianlei.
Once seated, Fann Tianlei enthusiastically took charge of ordering the meal, while Lin Feng settled in with an air of nonchalance.
Dingdong~
At that moment, a crisp system alert pierced the air. The main mission was announced: become a glorious soldier and, within a year, grow into a super Soldier King feared by the entire world, with the reward of 20 divine-level skills!
The system wouldn't rest until it had left him utterly astounded!
Right off the bat, it sparked a major event!
"Holy smokes! 20 divine-level skills? Is that even possible?" Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim.
Ding Dong~ A new side quest has been released. Accept Fann Tianlei's invitation to join the Wolf Fang, and the system will randomly elevate one of the host's skills to top-level!
Soon after, the system rolled out another side quest.
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, pondering with interest, "System, are you looking to stir things up? Are you that keen on getting me to enlist?"
