I Rely On Poverty To Sweep Through Survival GamesCh80 - Old Enemies

The current Xiao Lan was immersed in the beautiful world of carnivores, and felt his whole body brimming with energy. What Advent World, what game loophole? At that moment, nothing was more important than the juicy and oily roasted meat in his hands.

Although players’ skills were locked when they entered the real world, their improved physical constitutions wouldn’t disappear. Wanting to stuff Xiao Lan to death with food was as difficult as wanting to fill the ocean. YpE0GZ

Ah Yu was still stupefied.

But his broadcast room had already boiled over. Wave after wave of viewers poured in. Rewards greater than any from his previous livestreams streaked past the screen like running water. However, even if Ah Yu knew about it, he probably wouldn’t be happy. After all, these rewards honestly weren’t aimed at him.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Fuck me… Is this really a livestream and not sped up?”

“I’ve discovered the Flash’s mukbang, it’s simply 666.” ViPeF2

“Ah Yu can honourably abdicate now.”

“Upstairs, all of you get out of the way! I want to subscribe to little brother! Little brother really is handsome!”

“Don’t think about it, little brother is mine!”

“Begging for little brother’s live broadcast link!!!!!”

Noticing that more and more people were paying attention to them, and that passers-by were even standing around to take photos, Xiao Lan regretfully glanced at the waiter who had been serving them. Under the other’s alarmed ‘fuck me, you actually want to eat more?’ expression, he picked up the paper napkin on the side and wiped his mouth.

Even though he truly could eat more, he also knew that going on like this was too exaggerated.

After all, the Advent World didn’t want players to expose its existence. Being able to slightly exceed the limits of a human body could still be considered a unique gift, but if an overly formidable physical constitution attracted a department or organisation’s attention, that would be bad.

Seeing Xiao Lan finally stop, the peanut gallery let out sighs of relief. It seemed that their worldview which had been on the verge of collapse could still be saved; it hadn’t been shattered to the point that it couldn’t be pieced back together again. OSXkzo

The restaurant manager also put down his plans for an emergency supply transfer. Their stocks were nearly exhausted. If they continued letting Xiao Lan eat like this, they would have to face the awkward situation of telling the guests who followed after and ordered, ‘apologies, this is sold out’, ‘this is sold out too’, and ‘this is also… sold out’.

Ah Yu, who had become a stone statue for a good long while, also finally came back to himself. Conflicted, he looked at Xiao Lan hesitantly. “You… which company are you with?”

Xiao Lan was baffled. “What?”

Ah Yu took a deep breath. “What company did you sign under to livestream?” Y42hF

It was better to find out more about such a strong opponent in advance, so he could still make early preparations when this person formally debuted.

Xiao Lan shook his head. “I just came to have a meal, not to livestream.”

Ah Yu and the onlookers and the livestream viewers: “…”

So this is how you usually eat?!! dOvWLT

Are you for real, brother?!!

They looked at Xiao Lan whose stomach was flat and didn’t show any visible signs of a big meal, and turned to look at the tranquil Luo with reverent eyes. This had to be a super rich and powerful person, or they couldn’t afford such a quantity of food even if they had an ore mine at home ah!

Mr Rich, are you still lacking a thigh pendant? I’m not that good at eating, nor am I that good-looking, and my figure isn’t that good either… Forget it, we’ll stop talking; we still have some self-awareness.

The two of them drove back to the neighbourhood.

The greenery in the villa area was very good. The wind blew through the trees and the leaves rustled, carrying with it the smell of vegetation. Xiao Lan directly got out of the car and walked, treating it as a way to help with digestion.

Luo trailed him in the car from a distance.

Suddenly, there was a jarring voice in the silence. “Ai! Isn’t this our top student Xiao Lan?” W32UIL

Xiao Lan turned to look and saw a man dressed in a dark blue suit with slicked back hair who was giving him a mocking smile. He examined the other for a long time but still couldn’t recall who he was.

“You are?” Xiao Lan asked evenly. In any case, the other man didn’t seem to have much goodwill, so Xiao Lan was disinclined to treat him courteously.

“Heh.” The man in the suit put on a fake smile. “Looks like the omnipotent male god is truly very busy ah. Doesn’t even recognise his classmate.”

At the word ‘classmate’, Xiao Lan remembered a little. He seemed to have seen someone like this before in college, but the two of them weren’t really friends or anything. AET8dF

So, what was his name?

Seeing the ‘who are you’ expression that was still on Xiao Lan’s face, the man in the suit couldn’t quite maintain his smile. “I’m Yang Xi. Remember now?”

Xiao Lan finally dug out this person from the corner of his memory; he seemed to be a poor person in the same class. He didn’t know what sort of illness this guy had; every time they met, he always acted peculiarly. It also seemed that it was this person who spread some rumours about Xiao Lan being aloof and arrogant.

What on earth did he want now? S9srXm

Ever since he entered college, Yang Xi always thought of Xiao Lan as a thorn in his side.

They were clearly both very poor, but they were treated completely differently in school. Xiao Lan was good-looking, was good in all sports, had good grades, was popular among the girls, and even the teachers liked him. Yang Xi, on the other hand, had an average appearance and wasn’t remarkable in any aspect; he was like a wallflower on campus.

What was even more irritating was that all the female students he secretly liked said that they liked Xiao Lan. These girls only knew how to look at the face; they were simply superficial!

Thus, he always secretly competed with Xiao Lan, yet had never won in any aspect. He then secretly spread some rumours about Xiao Lan being difficult to get along with, yet it didn’t have any effect at all. There were even some female students who expressed that iceberg male gods were also very cool ah. pZkAlT

Yang Xi was about to blow his top.

Until one day, when he and a rich second generation kid were hanging around a bar and saw Xiao Lan working there part-time. He had been ecstatic, and felt that the time had come for the female students to see Xiao Lan’s true colours. What omnipotent male god ah, he was just a penniless good-for-nothing who worked all day and couldn’t even afford to eat a good meal!

As a result, when he found an excuse to call a few of the girls over to catch their crush Xiao Lan at work, they all expressed that “Xiao Lan looks so handsome in a bartender uniform!” and “His appearance when mixing drinks is also super handsome!”

Yang Xi had almost fallen ill with anger on the spot. kC4X3o

Fortunately, Xiao Lan was unable to continue being proud of himself.

After graduating, because of his terrible credit score, Xiao Lan was turned away at the door by practically all the good companies. The few who did recruit him were also always convinced to let him go when the loan sharks went to look for trouble at his workplace. This caused Xiao Lan, a graduate with exceptional grades, to have no choice but to work odd jobs, and he didn’t last long with each one.

Having always secretly paid attention to Xiao Lan, Yang Xi was unable to contain his joy when he heard this news.

After graduating, Yang Xi was promoted very quickly because he knew how to kiss ass and act clever to get what he wanted, and his boss was regarding him more and more highly. It was simply night and day compared to Xiao Lan who was rolling about on the lowest rung of society. w0XOAz

After that, he would go ask around about Xiao Lan’s current situation whenever he was unhappy. Seeing him getting dismissed because of loan sharks causing trouble gave him incomparable joy, and there was a sense of thrill from completely stepping on Xiao Lan.

Today, Yang Xi had accompanied his boss here to pay an important figure a visit. He was the founder of a corporation, and if they gained his support, their company’s business could expand into another domain.

That bigshot didn’t like being bothered by too many people, so when his boss went into the house, Yang Xi could only wait outside. Just as he was feeling bored, he saw Xiao Lan.

Aiya, some fun had unexpectedly delivered itself to his door! 69EIny

Yang Xi absolutely did not believe that a broke person like Xiao Lan could live in a place like this, the most expensive villa area in the city. Just a few months ago, he had heard that Xiao Lan was so broke he could only rent a bed-sized room.

Yang Xi then squeezed out that mocking smile. “Male God Xiao must be a cleaner or security guard here ah. This job is simply too rare, so you should cherish it well.”

He intentionally stressed the words ‘cherish it well’. He was certain that there would be loan sharks dropping in soon; Xiao Lan would then have no choice but to be chased away covered in dirt like a stray dog no one wanted.

Xiao Lan gave him a look, then said indifferently, “I live here.” ps7cX8

Yang Xi suddenly burst out laughing, as if he had heard a wildly imaginative joke. “Pfft hahahaha, you live here? Sleeping in the security guard room is considered living here?”

At that moment, a Ferrari slowly drove over from behind.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

A handsome man got out of the car. He was wearing a suit of excellent quality. The suit was extremely well-fitting, and it was clear that it had been personally tailored. It was completely different from Yang Xi’s store-bought clothes.

The man looked at Xiao Lan and asked, “What’s going on?” TwiY7c

Xiao Lan pointed at Yang Xi. “Met an old classmate.”

Yang Xi looked at Xiao Lan’s face, then sized up the man who had an extraordinary bearing. Thinking about how Xiao Lan said he lived here, he instantly understood what was going on.

It turned out that this guy actually was so shameless; he was so broke he let himself be kept?

Yang Xi smiled disdainfully. “How surprising ah, how surprising; our school’s top student unexpectedly found a sugar daddy. If the girls at school who treated you like their male god knew, who knows how sad they’ll be?” tI9UlF

He purposely said it in front of Xiao Lan’s sugar daddy, just because he wanted to see Xiao Lan’s embarrassed expression.

In the end, before Xiao Lan even said anything, the man from the car bluntly told him, “You’ve misunderstood. I’m just sir’s private assistant.”

Yang Xi naturally didn’t believe him. “How can that be? Someone as poor as him?”

He glared at Xiao Lan. My god, he actually made his sugar daddy speak for him; who knew what methods he had used. hR6vtQ

At that moment, the door of the villa on the side opened. A big-bellied, middle-aged man walked out with a slightly dejected expression. Yang Xi hastily withdrew the scornful expression on his face. It was obvious from his boss’s appearance that he had been unsuccessful. He was astute and didn’t go over to butter him up, and only respectfully walked over to his boss.

His boss was still unwilling to give up, and said in the direction of the house, “Chief Zhang, I’ll come visit again.”

Another person walked out from inside the house. “Don’t bother anymore, Xiao Liu ah. I’ve already handed my company over to my son; I’m not taking care of anything at all.”

When that person walked out and saw the people at the entrance, he immediately smiled. “Xiao Lan ah, you came back today? Fei Luo is here too ah.” 4NJd76

Xiao Lan also gave him a smile. “Hello, Uncle Zhang. We just so happened to be free today, so we’ll be staying for a night before we leave.”

Luo also nodded in greeting to Uncle Zhang.

The expression on Yang Xi’s face was about to collapse. Xiao Lan actually knew Chief Zhang!

That Chief Zhang who started from scratch and created a transnational corporation all on his own! The two of them were unexpectedly this familiar with each other. Looking at Chief Zhang’s appearance, he was clearly talking specifically to Xiao Lan, as if the man who drove the Ferrari was the one who was secondary. oqSlAF

Uncle Zhang also walked to the entrance. Shooting a look at Yang Xi and his boss surnamed Liu, he asked Xiao Lan, “You know them?”

Xiao Lan looked at Yang Xi. “This is my college classmate, he’s… eh…”

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Maybe he had eaten until he was too full, or maybe there truly was no sense of this person’s existence in his heart at all. He couldn’t remember what this old classmate was called again.

The atmosphere turned awkward. bodgNm

Luo promptly stepped forward to help him out of this predicament. “Yang Xi.”

Yang Xi: “…”

Xiao Lan, are you doing it on fucking purpose?! He clearly just needed to say one sentence that they knew each other, which would make Chief Zhang pay attention to him and give him face in front of his boss, yet he insisted on acting like they were strangers.

We’re old enemies! Old enemies ah! Can’t you even remember my name? OIVCzE

Uncle Zhang glanced at Yang Xi whose eyes contained fury and unconcealable envy, then shook his head. “Looks like your school also sometimes recruits unqualified people ah.”

Hearing this, Yang Xi’s boss also looked his subordinate up and down. His appearance was average, his behaviour was petty, and he didn’t have many connections. Aside from being able to bootlick, his work capability was also very ordinary. The disparity between classmates genuinely seemed a little large ah.

Yang Xi: “…”

Xiao Lan, I’m not fucking finished with you!!!! DJviN1
