Chapter 40

In the bar, the curious customers watched as Lin Yi and Chen Long quickly took down five or six big men, all of them amazed by their fighting skills!

Li Tingting and Lin Xiner were also stunned, their faces full of surprise, seemingly not expecting Lin Yi and his companion to be so capable.

At this moment, the crowd parted to make way for a middle-aged, dark, and thin man leading seven or eight big men. Some regular customers recognized him as the bar owner, Dong Fei.

Dong Fei, known for his dark and thin appearance, was called "Dong Heizi," but nowadays, few people dared to use this nickname. Most called him "Boss Dong" or "Brother Dong."

Dong Fei owned several bars and some chain entertainment venues, and it was rumored that he had some shady background, making him somewhat well-known in Haishang City.

"Who is causing trouble here?"

Dong Fei frowned and scanned the room, then suddenly paused, quickly walking forward with a smile on his dark face: "President Chen? Is it you? How could you visit without letting me know?"

Everyone was taken aback, not expecting Dong Fei to treat a young man with such respect, even calling himself "little brother."

Lin Yi was also slightly surprised, realizing that his "Brother Long" must have some significant background. He knew Dong Fei had some influence.

Coincidentally, Dong Fei was a potential client of their company.

Before Chen Long could speak, Dong Fei chuckled and said, "When I saw that imposing back, I was puzzled. In our city, who else could have such a commanding presence besides President Chen?"

This was blatant flattery!

The onlookers were both surprised and amused.

Chen Long said coolly, "It's Dong Heizi. My brother and I were just sitting here when we ran into some trouble. Take care of it."

Chen Long's tone was not particularly friendly, and he even called Dong Fei by his nickname, but Dong Fei did not mind at all. His smile grew even wider as he said, "Yes, yes, I'll take care of it right away."

His gaze toward Lin Yi also changed, thinking, "President Chen's brother?"

Dong Fei inquired about the incident and had his men throw the drunkards out of the bar.

"President Chen?" Dong Fei approached with a smile, "I've been wanting to invite you for a meal. What do you say?"

Chen Long replied coolly, "We'll see when we have time."

"Sure, sure." Dong Fei, understanding the situation, led his men away, realizing he was not particularly welcome.

Seeing Dong Fei's behavior, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Long, I always knew you were not ordinary, but I didn't expect you to be so impressive."

"Ha ha!" Chen Long laughed and shook his head, not saying much more.

After this incident, Lin Yi, Chen Long, Li Tingting, and Lin Xiner became the center of attention in the bar, making it impossible for them to stay.

Lin Yi drove Chen Long home and then took Li Tingting and Lin Xiner back to their place.

Li Tingting and Lin Xiner looked at Lin Yi's car in disbelief. It was a Range Rover, worth several million!

Lin Yi was just their "rented friend," so how could he afford such a luxury car?

His friend seemed very powerful too!

The two women speculated about Lin Yi's identity, wondering if he was a second-generation heir in disguise or a wealthy young man playing a humble role.

Their eyes met, sparks flying, seeing this as an opportunity!

Lin Yi noticed the change in their attitude but shook his head inwardly. In this money-driven society, few could escape the influence of wealth.

Soon, he was immersed in the pleasure of his new car, wishing he could drive it more.

When they returned to their rented apartment, the night passed quietly.

Lin Yi had a good sleep, feeling more comfortable in the modern world.

Sleeping with Wei Xiaobao every day on the same bed was no match for his own bed!

Waking up, Lin Yi excitedly opened his newly bought laptop, connected to the internet, and logged into an account.

This was his old account used for gaming and watching live streams.

Why was he excited?

Because he was going to give himself gifts! He had over 30 million!

Thinking about the items in the system store, he was filled with excitement!

Lin Yi first recharged 10,000 to his account, then, with a thought, started a live stream.

Immediately, dozens of people followed the notification and entered the live room, greeting Lin Yi—

"Good morning, streamer! You must have had a great time making so much money yesterday!"

"Good morning, streamer! Did you see the news? You're going to be famous!"

"The battle between the two big spenders, Chen Long and Brother Huan, with a million and half a million! It's already on the front page! You're going to be famous!"

"Hey, where are you, streamer?"

"Hey, did you come back from the film set?"

...

The news of the big spenders "Chen Long" and "Brother Huan" giving a million and half a million had already made the front page of the daily news.

Lin Yi's live room would receive a lot of attention.

Everyone was discussing how Lin Yi was going to become famous, and they were surprised to see him live streaming from a modern room instead of the Forbidden City.

Lin Yi smiled at the camera and greeted everyone—

"Good morning, everyone!"

Then, with a thought, he adjusted the camera to avoid showing his laptop screen.

He was using his laptop to log into his old account, recharge 10,000, and enter his live room!

However...

"Do not attempt to cheat."

The system's cold electronic voice echoed in Lin Yi's mind. He found that he couldn't enter his live room with his old account, looking utterly stunned.

It was clear that the system was preventing him from entering his live room with this account!

And the system had also warned him not to try to cheat!

Lin Yi immediately became cautious. He had thought that even if he couldn't enter his live room with his old account, he could give the money to someone else and have them give him gifts.

He could still earn gold coins this way!

But after the system's warning, Lin Yi didn't dare to try "cheating" anymore!

Who knew what punishment the system might have for further attempts at "cheating"?

If the system left him again because of "cheating," Lin Yi would be even more devastated.

He didn't dare to try, didn't dare to take the risk.

Because he couldn't afford to lose!

Lin Yi, feeling both amused and frustrated, closed his laptop, looked at the chat in the live room, and said to the camera—

"You guessed right, I've returned from the 'film set' because I have some matters to handle... The live streaming schedule for the next few days is uncertain. That's all for today..."

After a few more words with the viewers, he closed the live stream with a thought.

Lin Yi sighed deeply, lay back on the bed, and thought about his next steps.

After a while, with a thought, the floating screen changed, and the system store opened.

Lin Yi directly flipped to the last page of the items section and clicked on "Traversal Talisman."

"Mythical World Traversal Talisman.

Price: 100,000 gold coins."

"High Martial World Traversal Talisman.

Price: 10,000 gold coins."

"Mid Martial World Traversal Talisman.

Price: 1,000 gold coins."

"Low Martial World Traversal Talisman.

Price: 100 gold coins."

"Real World Traversal Talisman.

Price: 10 gold coins."

He originally had 158 gold coins. After buying a Real World Traversal Talisman, he had 148 left.

Since he couldn't "cheat," he could only live stream honestly. The Traversal Talisman was his biggest asset right now!

His gold coins were only enough to buy a Low Martial World Traversal Talisman.
