Chapter 7

Bang! When Zhang Jun's fist hit Qin Yue's chest, Qin Yue's fist also struck Zhang Jun's abdomen. Zhang Jun was shocked, not expecting Qin Yue to use such a mutually destructive fighting style. It was too late to dodge, and he could only watch helplessly as he was hit.

Hmph, with a muffled groan, Zhang Jun was sent flying by Qin Yue, the intense pain in his abdomen causing him to fall to the ground, gasping for breath and unable to get up for a moment. "Brother," the surrounding black-clad men shouted in alarm when they saw Zhang Jun fall to the ground. They quickly gathered around, glaring at Qin Yue, ready to attack. Qin Yue was nervous, wondering if they were going to renege on their deal.

"Stop, stand down." Seeing his subordinates about to attack Qin Yue, Zhang Jun called out to stop them. The black-clad men, seeing Zhang Jun's serious expression, reluctantly stepped back. Qin Yue let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew~~ Kid, you've got good skills and are decisive. You win!" After a while, Zhang Jun stood up, rubbing his stomach as he spoke to Qin Yue.

"I was just lucky. If I hadn't used this method, I wouldn't be your match!" Qin Yue admitted honestly.

"Winning is winning, no need to talk about luck. I'm Zhang Jun. If you respect me, call me Brother Zhang. What's your name?" Zhang Jun waved his hand generously as he spoke to Qin Yue.

"Hello, Brother Zhang, I'm Qin Yue." Although he had been forced into a fight, Qin Yue was impressed that Zhang Jun didn't become angry and use his numbers to overwhelm him after losing. He had a good impression of the scar-faced man.

"Hehe, Qin Yue, you have excellent skills. Are you interested in joining our Starlight Gang? With your skills, you could make a name for yourself in the underworld!" Zhang Jun looked at Qin Yue with a burning gaze.

Qin Yue was taken aback, not expecting the offer to join the underworld. The underworld, huh? Qin Yue lowered his head in thought. With his skills, he might do well in the Starlight Gang, but he had the summoning space, a "cheat" that would make him stand at the peak. How could someone destined for the top be content with being a subordinate?

Moreover, the social environment in China was different from that abroad. In some foreign countries, powerful criminal organizations could even control the government, but since the founding of China, the government had strictly controlled criminal organizations. Small-scale activities might be tolerated, but once they grew too large, they would face severe government crackdowns. With this in mind, Qin Yue shook his head and firmly told Zhang Jun, "Sorry, Brother Zhang, I'm not interested in joining the underworld for now."

Seeing Qin Yue's determined expression, Zhang Jun felt a bit disappointed but quickly regained his composure and handed Qin Yue a business card. "Sigh~ What a pity, but everyone has their own path. I won't force you. Here's my card. If you change your mind in the future, you can call me. You're always welcome."

"Thank you, Brother Zhang." Qin Yue took the card, glanced at it, and put it in his pocket. Although he wasn't interested in joining the underworld, he had a good impression of Zhang Jun and thought it might be useful to have a connection. Who knew when he might need help? In the past, his lack of social connections had left him with nowhere to borrow money when he needed it.

Thinking about money, Qin Yue had a sudden idea. Zhang Jun was involved in the underworld; why not borrow money from him at a high interest rate to solve his current financial problems? He asked Zhang Jun, "Brother Zhang, do you lend money at high interest rates? I need to borrow some money!"

"Oh? You're short on money? How much do you need?" Zhang Jun looked at Qin Yue in surprise.

"I need to borrow 30,000 yuan. I can write a promissory note and follow the rules." Qin Yue pondered for a moment.

"30,000 yuan isn't much. No need for a promissory note. Ah Bao, bring 30,000 yuan." Zhang Jun waved to one of the black-clad men.

"Thanks, Brother Zhang, I'll pay you back with interest as soon as possible!" Qin Yue said gratefully to Zhang Jun.

"Ha ha, if you join us, you won't have to pay it back. What do you say?" Zhang Jun laughed.

"No, Brother Zhang~ I really don't want to join the underworld right now! It's getting late, I'll leave first!" Qin Yue smiled bitterly.

"Sigh~ Alright, if you're not interested now, we can talk about it later. Goodbye!" Seeing Qin Yue's determination, Zhang Jun didn't push further.

"Goodbye." Qin Yue nodded to Zhang Jun, took the money, and turned to leave...

When he returned to his rented apartment, it was already midnight. Qin Yue took a shower, lay down on the bed, and recalled everything that had happened at the bar. He had gone to the bar to drink because of his financial troubles, met someone for the first time, and got into a fight with a Starlight Gang thug. Later, he fought with Zhang Jun, and they ended up becoming acquaintances. The 30,000 yuan problem was unexpectedly solved in this way. As he thought, he slowly drifted off to sleep...

The next morning, Qin Yue got up early and went straight to Yubao轩 to buy the green rock jade jewelry he had ordered. As soon as he got home, he eagerly started absorbing energy points. "Energy absorption complete. Current energy: 560 points. Please keep up the good work!" After hearing the voice, Qin Yue immediately entered the space!

"Welcome to the Super Invincible Summoning Space." After the voice, the familiar face of the guide angel appeared before Qin Yue.

"I need a skill that can earn money. Recommend one to me." Qin Yue said directly to the guide angel.

"Based on the energy points you currently have, you can choose the following skills!" The guide angel pointed to the summoning screen, and a list of items appeared:

Theft (Expert Level): 500 energy points

Gambling (Expert Level): 500 energy points

Stock Trading (Expert Level): 500 energy points

Fraud (Expert Level): 500 energy points

...

Qin Yue looked at the skills on the screen and thought for a moment. Stock trading, theft, and fraud were not suitable for him at the moment. He decided to choose Gambling (Expert Level), as it was the fastest way to earn money. As the energy was input, a wave of unfamiliar information slowly flooded his mind, causing intense pain. Having experienced summoning before, Qin Yue did not pass out this time and gritted his teeth to endure it.

After a long time, it finally ended. Qin Yue used a detection skill on himself:

Name: Qin Yue

Age: 25

Strength: 10

Agility: 11

Constitution: 8

Cultivation Method: None

Skills: Gambling (Expert Level)

Overall Combat Power: 29

Feeling the expert-level gambling skill in his mind, he was eager to try it out. He exited the summoning space, picked up his phone, and dialed the number on the business card Zhang Jun had given him the previous day.

"Hello, who is this?" Zhang Jun's loud voice came through the phone.

"Brother Zhang, it's me, Qin Yue."

"Oh? Is it you? Have you decided to join the underworld?" The other voice sounded interested.

Qin Yue rubbed his head, feeling a bit annoyed. Brother Zhang was really trying hard to pull him into the underworld. He smiled bitterly and said, "No, Brother Zhang, I called you about paying back the money."

"Oh, you're paying back the money you borrowed last night?" Zhang Jun's voice sounded less enthusiastic when he realized Qin Yue wasn't joining the underworld.

"Not yet, but I will soon. Brother Zhang, do you know where there's a casino?" Qin Yue asked confidently.

"Hmm? Do you know how to gamble?"

"Yes, Brother Zhang."

"Alright, come to the Starlight Building. I'll meet you at the entrance." Hearing that Qin Yue knew how to gamble, Zhang Jun became interested.

"Okay."

Qin Yue hung up the phone, went out, and took a taxi to the Starlight Building. In less than half an hour, he arrived at Tianxin Street in City C. Tianxin Street was a famous commercial street in City C, one of the most prosperous areas, with various hotels and shops lining the street. Customers were coming and going, a scene of prosperity. The Starlight Building was located on this street.

Qin Yue got out of the taxi, found the direction of the Starlight Building, and walked forward...
