Ao Ruize: “Is it not possible?”

Milk Dumpling: “…Of course not—”

“Although Le Zhan is an ungrateful beast who bites the hand that feeds him, he hasn’t actually done anything heinous yet.”

“Besides, what if he suddenly wakes up one day and realizes the error of his ways?”

Don’t forget, what it told Ao Ruize earlier was just its deduction.

Although its seniors said that a system’s deductions are tacitly approved by the Heavenly Dao of the small world and generally won’t be wrong.

Because the Heavenly Dao also doesn’t want anyone to disrupt its order.

But what if its deduction was wrong!

“Most importantly, being a criminal has no future. We must be law-abiding, decent people and systems.”

Ao Ruize: “…”

A wild system with a built-in criminal aura saying it wants to be a decent system?

Interesting idea!

Ao Ruize could only say: “Just kidding.”

Milk Dumpling: “…”

Then why do you look so regretful?

The milk dumpling panicked.

Didn’t it choose a virtuous person with merit?

But Ao Ruize looks like a criminal no matter how you look at him!

It hurriedly looked down… at the bottom of its round belly.

Seeing that it was indeed stepping on a golden soul, it finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It must have been overthinking!

The milk dumpling put on a straight face again: “Most importantly, both of you were born into top wealthy families. Lin Gaolang is hailed as the First Young Master of Qian City, enjoying endless glory, while you have become the First Hedonist of Qian City in everyone’s mouth, suffering contempt and ridicule. Are you willing to accept that?”

“Don’t you want to surpass Lin Gaolang and vent your anger fiercely?”

Milk Dumpling: “As long as you sign a contract with me, I can grant all your wishes.”

Ao Ruize: “…”

He interrupted the milk dumpling directly: “I don’t want to.”

Milk Dumpling: “…What?”

It felt there might be something wrong with its hearing. Otherwise, how could it hear Ao Ruize say he didn’t want to turn the tables, didn’t want to become a high-and-mighty domineering CEO like Lin Gaolang?

Ao Ruize sighed and said: “Did you know, Lin Gaolang is about the same age as me, but he is already going bald.”

Milk Dumpling: “…”

Only two sentences remained in the milk dumpling’s mind, which were—

Fake domineering CEO: doesn’t need to work, wall-slams boyfriends/girlfriends every day, and can secure the position of CEO/richest person.

Real domineering CEO: going bald at a young age—

Milk Dumpling: “…”

It can never look at domineering CEOs in novels and TV dramas the same way again.

Thinking about it this way, inciting Ao Ruize to compete with Lin Gaolang really seems a bit immoral.

Wait—

The milk dumpling reacted immediately.

“The situation now is, if you don’t compete with Lin Gaolang, your whole family will be played to death by Le Zhan and Lin Gaolang—”

It’s just hair; how can it be more important than life?

“And who says you have to manage the Xiao family yourself after taking it over… At worst, we can just hire a reliable professional manager then.”

Ao Ruize: “True.”

The milk dumpling breathed a sigh of relief and immediately pressed on: “Most importantly, as long as you can help me restore order to this world, after the mission is completed, if your performance is decent, you can get a considerable amount of points and redeem a generous reward from me.”

After speaking, a light screen that others couldn’t see suddenly appeared in front of Ao Ruize.

On the light screen, a dozen pages slid out directly. Each page neatly displayed four items, including beauty pills that can enhance beauty, wind-dispelling pills that can treat various rheumatic diseases, and height-increasing potions that can directly increase a person’s height by five centimeters… The most expensive item was a spirit grass called Wind Spirit Grass, priced at 100 points per stalk, which could extend the user’s lifespan by twenty years.

Ao Ruize: “…This reward is indeed generous.”

At least his family’s Prime Minister Turtle’s favorite Fire Shadow Pigs only get to eat a bundle of Wind Spirit Grass every three days.

—After all, isn’t the principle of extending life maintaining cell activity? So feeding pigs with Wind Spirit Grass is a very normal operation, isn’t it?

The milk dumpling was extremely excited.

It knew Ao Ruize wouldn’t be able to refuse such a big temptation.

“So have you decided to sign a contract with me?”

Ao Ruize: “Let’s sign!”

He hasn’t gotten tired of playing in this world yet.

And this milk dumpling is quite fun to tease. Overall, it’s not a loss.

It was so lucky!

Just after gaining sentience, it successfully abducted a qualified host.

The milk dumpling immediately raised its foot and left a mark on Ao Ruize’s soul.

【Contract signed successfully!】

“Great.”

The milk dumpling couldn’t help cheering.

“Now let’s discuss how to deal with Lin Gaolang and the others.”

It said: “Things should have progressed to the point where Le Zhan has successfully stolen the Xiao Corporation’s technology. I think we can wait until Lin Gaolang makes a move against the Xiao Corporation, when its stock price hits the limit down and it’s in imminent danger, then we step in to turn the tide, crushing your insatiable adopted brother and the insidious and cunning Lin Gaolang, fiercely venting our frustration…”

“And there is only one way to save the Xiao Corporation, which is to pay to cover the Xiao family’s investment in the research and development of lithium battery recycling technology—”

“So we must earn five billion within two months.”

“Step one, we can go to the high seas to salvage sunken ships and earn a hundred or two hundred million first.”

The high seas are full of ancient sunken ships. Salvaging any one of them casually would bring in an income of at least tens of millions or even over a hundred million.

As for why it only planned to use this idea to earn one or two hundred million—

First, if they salvaged antiques worth five or six billion in one go, it would attract the scrutiny of interested parties.

Once the news spread, alerting Lin Gaolang and others, their plan to make a fortune quietly would definitely fail.

Second, if sunken ships in the high seas were so easy to salvage, it wouldn’t be their turn to covet them.

So it’s not easy to find the location of sunken ships.

The reason it dared to propose this plan was that it had spiritual power and could help Ao Ruize search for sunken ships at sea.

But even searching for just one or two sunken ships to earn one or two hundred million would consume at least half of its spiritual power.

It could be imagined that for the next half month, it would probably be paralyzed in bed.

But now, to complete the first mission it encountered after becoming a system, it was going all out.

Thinking of this, the milk dumpling had teary eyes: “Then we can buy a large amount of Bibi Coins.”

Bibi Coin is a type of virtual cryptocurrency in this small world.

Before becoming a system, it had already done homework in this area. For example, to quickly complete the accumulation of primitive capital in modern society, there are three paths to take.

One is buying lottery tickets.

But this path obviously doesn’t apply to them. After all, neither it nor Ao Ruize has a relative who is the director of the Welfare Lottery Center.

Two is stock trading.

It had already tried. If not for the price limit system in Hua Country, it would have lost even its underwear that day.

Three is buying virtual cryptocurrency—

Coincidentally, this small world has just given birth to virtual cryptocurrency.

Even more coincidentally, a month ago, the price of Bibi Coin suddenly started to skyrocket. Within twenty days, the price increased tenfold, and the market value directly broke through the 30 billion M-dollar mark.

This is exactly the same as the rise of Bitcoin in the world where it was born.

“My deduction tells me that there will definitely be another round of skyrocketing prices for Bibi Coins next…”

“This way, we can definitely save enough initial startup capital in one go.”

“Without further ado, let’s go out to sea to salvage sunken ships now!”

Ao Ruize raised an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, this milk dumpling looked unreliable but was quite reliable when getting serious.

But salvaging sunken ships—

Ao Ruize glanced at the milk dumpling’s red eyes and pondered.

Just then, a voice rang in his ear: “…Young Master Hai, Young Master Hai?”

Ao Ruize looked up.

The speaker was one of Ao Ruize’s fair-weather friends. He lifted his chin and pointed to the gambling table in front of him: “Young Master Hai, are you still playing?”

“If not, let’s go surfing at sea. It just so happens we haven’t admired your skills for a long time, Young Master Hai!”

They felt that since Ao Ruize had already lost over seven million, he probably wouldn’t want to play anymore.

After all, although the Xiao family didn’t lack money, over seven million was not a small amount.

Ao Ruize raised an eyebrow.

He replied to the milk dumpling: “No rush.”

Milk Dumpling: “What?”

Ao Ruize ignored it and said: “Play, why not play.”

“My intuition tells me that as long as I play one more round, I can turn the tables.”

Then he directly took out his phone and called his old man.

Soon, Old Master Xiao’s voice came from the phone: “Out of money again? Didn’t I just send you two million a few days ago?”

“Alright, alright, I’ll send you another million. Let me tell you, my right eyelid has been twitching lately. I feel like something bad is going to happen. behave yourself during this time and don’t cause any trouble.”

“Got it, got it.”

Ao Ruize hung up the phone.

In a short while, a text message from the bank arrived, saying someone had transferred one million to his account.

But before he could put down his phone, another message came.

It was still from the bank, saying another five hundred thousand had arrived in his account.

Looking at the sender’s account number, it was none other than his adopted brother Xiao Ruicheng.

It seemed he should be by Father Xiao’s side right now and happened to hear his conversation with Father Xiao, so he also sent him some money.

Ao Ruize smiled, opened the payment code directly, then turned and handed the phone to a waiter nearby, asking him to exchange all the 1.5 million he just received for chips.

Then he lay back on the chair: “Come, continue.”

Hearing this, the dealer at the gambling table subconsciously pressed the button to shake the dice in front of him.

“Please place your bets—”

Ao Ruize directly divided the chips in front of him into three piles, placing one on three, one on four, and one on six.

Seeing this scene, Ao Ruize’s fair-weather friends: “…”

Dealer: “…”

Other guests around: “…”

—In the game of Sic Bo (Big and Small), besides betting on the size of the three dice in the dice cup, guests can also bet on the specific numbers of the three dice. This is called a triple bet. If guessed correctly, the payout is 150 to 1.

But just thinking about it, one knows how low the probability of guessing the numbers of three dice is.

It was his fair-weather friends who reacted first. Ao Ruize refused to leave after losing so much money, and now he was suddenly playing so big. Could he have lost his head?

This is not a good thing.

After all, they dragged Ao Ruize in just to see the world, not to make Ao Ruize addicted to gambling.

So they quickly grabbed Ao Ruize: “Young Master Hai, did you drink too much? Do you want to calm down first…”

The dealer on the side also tactfully advised: “Young Master Hai, perhaps you should reconsider.”

After all, their establishment is a legitimate casino in a legitimate clubhouse opened in accordance with national policies, earning money by collecting high service fees and donating part of the income to charity organizations. They don’t engage in the practices of other casinos deliberately inducing guests to become addicted to gambling to make money.

Ao Ruize didn’t care: “Don’t worry, I haven’t lost my head.”

“My sixth sense tells me these three numbers are my lucky numbers today.”

He looked at the dealer and said directly: “Alright, open it!”

“…Pfft!”

Hearing this, several onlookers couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Throwing all the money away because of an illusory sixth sense, if this isn’t losing one’s head, what is it?

The dealer had no choice. He could only say: “Any more bets?”

No one bet again.

However, many guests took out their phones and aimed them at Ao Ruize.

After all, who would complain about watching a big spectacle, especially the spectacle of these top wealthy families?

They thought, if Xiao Ruize really got addicted, that would be fun.

Seeing their appearance, a few guests who originally saw Ao Ruize’s confident look and wanted to try their luck with him also gave up the idea.

Seeing this, the dealer could only say: “Bets closed!”

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes fell on the dice cup in the dealer’s hand.

Amidst everyone’s gloating gazes, the dealer opened the dice cup in front of him directly.

The next second, the dealer’s pupils shrank.

Immediately following, the expressions on the faces of the others present also froze.

The air instantly went quiet for a moment.

Ao Ruize raised his hand and propped it under his chin.

He smiled and said: “Alright, we don’t need to waste that effort to salvage sunken ships anymore.”

The milk dumpling who just reacted: “…”
