Lin Lang finally understood!
Zhang Dabin, whoâs always welcoming to outsiders!
Why did he specifically want to keep these people outâ
Turns out this group just came to take advantage!
You have to know!
Even those owning property in Xingfu District!
Work themselves to death every single day!
Only get just enough supplies to survive!
And these people from the Low-Cost Housing District!
Come running over with empty pockets!
Batting their eyes!
Mouth wide open!
Asking for a hundred boxes of pure water, a hundred boxes of instant noodles, meat, fruit, and other stuff...
They even want these packed in boxes?!
Boxes, my foot!
Lin Lang found it ridiculously funny!
He reckoned!
It was simply because they mentioned his name.
That Zhang Dabin gave him some face!
And didnât smack them to death!
...
"Benefactor, itâs only this much, is that okay with you?"
They bowed and scraped to Lin Lang.
But their eyes and tone were aggressive:
"Actually, before coming, we checked out the situation at Xingfu District!"
"Your place truly doesnât lack supplies!"
"What weâre asking for is just a drop in the ocean for you! Donât you agree?"
Lin Lang lowered his eyes slightly and calmly asked:
"You brought so few people? Shouldnât you be unable to carry all that stuff?"
A 500ml bottle of pure water weighs about 1 pound!
bottles in a box, thatâs 24 pounds!
A hundred boxes, thatâs a total of 2400 pounds!
Not to mention a hundred boxes of instant noodles, and meat, fruit, and all such!
Several thousand pounds of goods.
With just these few people, they couldnât carry it even if they worked themselves to death!
But upon hearing this!
Their eyes lit up, and they babbled incoherently:
"Oh my gosh! You agreed, eh! No problem! Weâll call for backup right away!"
With that!
One of them ran off hurriedly to make a phone call:
"Folks, call in more people! He agreed to give!"
"Just that amount! Haha!"
"Can you believe it! He didnât even haggle! Hahaha!"
"Yes indeed! Damn! If weâd known, we wouldâve asked for more! But itâs fine, weâll come back next time! Itâs not far..."
...
The guy was so thrilled, he even forgot to lower his voice some more.
Although.
It made no difference.
With Lin Langâs senses nowadays, even without using his Divine Sense, no breeze or rustle within a hundred miles could escape his ears.
...
And those who stayed beside Lin Lang began to test the waters with a fawning expression:
"Benefactor!"
"Actually, the numbers we mentioned just now were extremely low standards!"
"Yeah!"
"You see! Just drinking water and eating instant noodles isnât enough! Meat and fruit are basic foods too! Look, youâve got seafood here, could you give us some to improve our meals?"
"Also!"
"You know, back at our place, there are many smokers! So, could you also give us some cigarettes?"
"Benefactor! If youâre giving cigarettes, why not add some alcohol! We can enjoy a drink or two in our spare time!"
"Yeah! Haha!"
...
They chimed together.
Like performing a group skit.
Completely oblivious to the deepening darkness in Lin Langâs eyesâ
This bunch!
Kept calling him a benefactor.
But actually treated him like a sucker!
They werenât here just to exploit.
They acted like they were making wishes!
...
Lin Lang stopped speaking.
Letting them revel in the daydreams they wove for themselves!
...
Before long!
From afar!
A whole crowd of people came rushing over!
The movers from the Low-Cost Housing District had arrived!
They even pushed a large cartâ
Just a wooden board on wheels.
"Where are the supplies?"
At this moment.
A shabby man came over.
But didnât even greet Lin Lang.
Prompted:
"Hurry up and load the cart, my card game hasnât finished yet!"
Those few people then said to Lin Lang:
"Benefactor, itâs getting late, letâs quickly load the supplies onto the cart and leave, so we wonât disturb your rest!"
Lin Lang raised his gaze unhurriedly.
Glanced at the shabby man.
And then said:
"You, come to greet your great benefactor, but didnât even say hello?"
Upon hearing this!
Everyoneâs expression changed!
The man hesitated!
Didnât expect Lin Lang to suddenly find trouble with him!
He instinctively looked around.
But saw everyone looking grim, winking at him!
He immediately understood!
Hurriedly bowed to Lin Lang:
"Benefactor! Benefactor! I was so busy just now that I forgot to greet you! May you live long and prosper!"
"Hmm."
Lin Lang responded indifferently.
Seeing this!
They thought the matter was over.
Immediately called out:
"Benefactor..."
But Lin Lang interrupted their words coldly:
"It is indeed late today, so as not to delay your card game, letâs talk about it tomorrow!"
After saying this.
Under the messy yet insightful gaze of those people.
He stepped over the gate.
And walked into the district.
...
"Huh?!"
"Isnât this wrong?"
They were stunned for a moment until they reacted, quickly following along!
"Benefactor! Benefactor! We can wait!"
But Lin Lang had already walked far.
One person was anxious, ready to climb over the gate to catch up!
But at this moment.
Zhang Dabinâs figure, like a ghost, suddenly appeared at the entrance.
Persistently said:
"Xingfu District, intruders will die."
...
No way.
That person could only return embarrassed.
Then.
Everyoneâs fiery gaze fell on that shabby manâ
Dammit!
The cooked duck could actually fly away?!
So many resources!
Enough for their district to squander for a long time!
But now!
They were lost by a word from this bastard!
Beating him to death wouldnât be wrong!
Noticing the unfriendly gazes!
The shabby man felt like crying:
"It wasnât intentional! I really forgot! My card game was really urgent, I even bet my wife..."
"Forget your bullshit!"
"Damn you!"
"Beat you, you bastard!"
A large group rushed up!
They harshly beat the shabby man!
Until he was head broken, bleeding, barely alive!
"Ptooey!"
They spat on him!
"Thereâs still a chance tomorrow, otherwise we would beat you to death!"
"Youâll kneel here all night!"
"Shout âBenefactor, I was wrongâ all night, and when the benefactorâs anger dissipates and is willing to give us the supplies, then you can get up!"
"All night?" The shabby man trembled, "There are Fierce Beasts at night, arenât you letting me die?"
The people said:
"You useless! If you die, you die in vain!"
"If you dare to go back today, weâll beat you to death!"
"Useless in success, ample in failure!"
They grumbled and returned to the Low-Cost Housing District.
As they walked away.
They couldnât help but complain about Lin Lang:
"That person really thinks heâs some great benefactor?"
"Exactly! Just forgot to greet him, and he privately detained our supplies!"
"Are our lives really not worth more than his face?!"
"Truly, society is going downhill!"
"Forget it, forget it! Weâll come back tomorrow! Hopefully, by then, the master has calmed down!"
"No matter if itâs the end times or not, these bastards are so damn hard to please!"
...
Only the shabby man was left.
Trembling, kneeling at the entrance of Xingfu District.
His scared gaze constantly glancing around:
"God bless, please donât let a Fierce Beast appear..."
But he also dared not sneak back!
Because if he returned.
Those people would really beat him to death!
Thinking over.
He started to shout:
"Benefactor! I was wrong!"
...
Under the gradually deepening night sky.
Xingfu District.
Building C, Unit 1, Room 2102.
In the small bedroom.
On the bed.
Lin Lang lay leisurely in Gu Feiâs arms.
Gu Fei peeled crystal-clear small grapes from the fruit plate on the bedhead and fed them to him.
After hearing Lin Langâs account of what just happened at the entrance!
Gu Fei couldnât help but laugh:
"You obviously never intended to give them the supplies from the start, you were just playing with them, right?"
Lin Lang calmly said:
"Werenât they playing me first?"
