I Rely On Poverty To Sweep Through Survival GamesCh81 - You Misunderstood

Regardless of how much Yang Xi wanted to leap over and bury Xiao Lan on the spot, in front of his boss and Chief Zhang who stood so high above, he, who was just a company slave, could only choose to endure.

Boss Liu said a few more words, but Uncle Zhang still remained unmoved, so he could only helplessly bid the other farewell and silently leave with Yang Xi. Ptyv47

When he left, Boss Liu glanced at Xiao Lan whom Uncle Zhang was talking to cheerfully, then looked at his subordinate with scornful eyes. He was probably feeling extremely regretful that he had put this fellow who couldn’t do anything at all in a high position.

Faced with Boss Liu’s contemptuous gaze, Yang Xi put on a fawning smile, but was secretly so angry he was practically turning bald.

He understood that after they returned, his boss’s evaluation of him in his heart would have definitely gone down, so much that his boss’s anger at his failure on this visit to Chief Zhang would be shoved onto his head. Forget about getting promoted, just maintaining his position would probably keep him very busy. Since the boss liked people who acted all flattering, there were many people in the company who were skilled at currying favour, and that crowd was eager to trip Yang Xi in order to rise up themselves.

When he passed by Xiao Lan, Yang Xi couldn’t help giving him a hateful glare. rcyRV2

Xiao Lan returned it indifferently with a light ‘take care, won’t see you out’ smile.

Seeing Yang Xi’s face instantly turn dark purple, Xiao Lan’s heart was filled with sympathy for company slaves.

Seeing that the uninvited guests had finally left, Uncle Zhang greeted Xiao Lan, then happily ran off to take care of the vegetable bed in his garden.

They hadn’t met for a few days, but the vegetable bed had visibly wilted quite a bit. It was obvious at a glance whose masterpiece those fresh teeth marks were.

Since it was still early, Xiao Lan wasn’t in a hurry to return. He looked at the courtyard for a moment, and when he couldn’t find the energetic husky, he asked, “Uncle Zhang, why don’t I see Tie Hanhan?”

As Uncle Zhang collected the rotten vegetable leaves, he said, “Tie Hanhan took a fancy to the Samoyed living in that house behind us a couple of days ago. It spends every day in the backward waiting for it, and even sings love songs to it.”

As if to verify Uncle Zhang’s words, Tie Hanhan’s howls came from the other end of the courtyard.

“Awoo~ aoaoaowuuu~ ao~ ao~” aQkuPl

“Listen, it’s precisely this singing voice. You say, its singing sounds so horrible; how can the other party fall for it ah…” Uncle Zhang was a little worried. “Recently, that Samoyed runs away the moment it sees Tie Hanhan. Perhaps Tie Hanhan’s heart will be broken soon.”

Although Xiao Lan also felt that Tie Hanhan had no artistic blood at all and his road to love would probably be filled with potholes, he still comforted Uncle Zhang. “Love makes one mature. Even if Tie Hanhan’s heart is broken, it’ll definitely become mature.”

Uncle Zhang nodded. “Failure isn’t scary; being able to learn from failure is part of success.”

He spoke this sentence with the air of the bigshot who had made his mark on the business world back then. Even if he was currently squatting in a vegetable bed and holding a handful of vegetable leaves that were holey from being nibbled on, he still had the air of a monk speaking as he swept the floor.

After parting with Uncle Zhang, Xiao Lan and Luo returned home.

The house was extremely quiet, and the decor in the house could be faintly seen in the moonlight outside the window.

Xiao Lan, however, didn’t reach out for the light switch.

The moment he entered, Xiao Lan sensed something wasn’t right. This was intuition honed by a lot of combat; it told him that someone was watching him inside the house. ZX0ULC

Xiao Lan shot Luo a look, who gave him a nod. Clearly, he had also noticed that something was amiss.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

The two of them carefully walked into the house. Luo’s ability was restricted in the real world, and he was unable to directly scan the situation in the house, so they could only rely on their five senses and remain vigilant.

Xiao Lan was stunned. Why did this person actually have a gun?! There was even a silencer on the muzzle of the gun.

There were a few whistling sounds after that as bullets struck the sofa which they were hiding behind. PECUTg

At that moment, Xiao Lan realised that the gun wasn’t as powerful as he thought. The inside of the sofa was wood, yet the bullet couldn’t pass through it.

Luo picked up a bullet and passed it to Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan looked at Luo. There was something like dust inside the bullet. The bullet also had an unusual shape, and was evidently custom-made.

Luo quietly said, “It probably won’t be fatal if you’re hit, but we don’t know what this powder does.” H5Km3X

Xiao Lan frowned. Who on earth were these people? And what was their motive?

He threw out a pillow to draw their opponents’ attention, and the two of them seized that gap to simultaneously dart out from the sofa which they were hiding behind and rushed towards the intruders’ position.

There were two people attacking them; they were dressed in combat uniforms and even wore goggles to conceal their faces.

Faced with their targets’ sudden approach, these people were clearly a little surprised. But they had been specially trained, and swiftly adjusted their moods before they started fighting with Xiao Lan and Luo. JSkxwX

The gun advantage was lost in close combat, so they switched tactics and took out daggers.

After one exchange of blows, Xiao Lan realised that his opponent was very strong and that their skills had probably been honed through genuine combat. Each move was accurately aimed at the vital parts; if it was the past him, he might be completely unable to prevail over the other.

After a couple of exchanges, Xiao Lan evaded the dagger aimed at his neck and lifted his leg to kick the other’s waist.

His opponent also reacted very quickly and swiftly changed posture in an attempt to escape this attack. However, his speed was no match for Xiao Lan’s, and he was kicked fiercely to slam heavily against the wall. 7GzU1p

On the other side, the person who was trying to stab Luo’s chest also had his arm twisted and his weapon grabbed before he was knocked to the ground.

Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, one of the intruders took out a palm-sized object from his pocket and hurled it at the two of them.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

It looked like a grenade.

When Xiao Lan saw this, he immediately threw himself to the side. m2Wu43

Luo rushed over and tightly embraced Xiao Lan, using his body to protect Xiao Lan from the unknown attack.

After that, dense smoke spread out, and the white fumes instantly filled the entire living room and obscured everyone’s vision; unexpectedly, it was a smoke grenade.

When the smoke dissipated, Xiao Lan poked his head out from over Luo’s shoulder. The invaders had long disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Lan was rendered speechless by this attack which happened abruptly and then inexplicably disappeared. What in the world were they trying to do? Why did they disappear after just a few blows? It was completely different from the professional hitmen or secret service agents who fought to their dying breaths in the movies. JDNBL5

It gave Xiao Lan a sense of ‘Has it started?’ ‘It’s already over’.

At that moment, the two of them were very close together. Luo’s delicate and unblemished skin was right in front of Xiao Lan’s eyes, just like top-quality porcelain, and Luo’s arms were tightly wrapped around his waist. Paired with the concerned expression on Luo’s perfect face, it was initially a charming and gentle image.

However, Luo’s arms were seriously too tight, which gave Xiao Lan the illusion of being assassinated.

“Cough… Hurry up and let go, I’m about to suffocate to death…” He struggled and patted Luo’s arm. v74FYy

This fellow really was becoming increasingly non-human recently. His arm strength was so great he could probably kill a bull with a single punch. It was a good thing that Xiao Lan also had a strong constitution. If it was someone else being hugged like this by Luo, their insides would probably be squeezed out.

Not dying from an attack but because of a comrade’s protection would just be incredibly tragic.

“Apologies, sir.” Luo hastily let go. In a moment of desperation, he indeed didn’t control his strength well.

Xiao Lan massaged his waist and stood up, feeling even more tired than when he fought the attacker. As a human, he was just this puny, pitiful, and helpless. xfldHn

Knock knock knock.

At that moment, someone knocked on their door.

Luo went over to open the door.

Outside was the warmhearted neighbour Uncle Zhang with a nervous face; he was even holding a vegetable in his hand. “Are you guys okay? I heard noise here from my courtyard, so I came to have a look.” FtZgyv

He looked into the house worriedly, and saw Xiao Lan who was standing by the sofa and massaging his waist, his clothes a little rumpled. Turning to look at the sofa, Uncle Zhang noticed that it was also very messy.

He then closely examined Luo, whose clothes weren’t as tidy as usual, and vaguely understood something.

Having once travelled the four seas and was used to seeing all sorts of luxuries and pleasures in the world, Uncle Zhang wasn’t astonished. He just said meaningfully and with heartfelt intentions, “You young people have to pay attention to moderation ah. Your health is more important than anything else.”

Luo calmly nodded. “Thank you for the reminder. We’ll pay attention.” 637 v2

Xiao Lan: “…”

Why do you know that ah?!!! However, compared with the truth of being attacked by unknown persons, perhaps the current not-too-beautiful misunderstanding was easier for people to accept.

“You continue ah, I won’t bother you anymore.” Uncle Zhang waved the fresh and tender green vegetable in his hand, said his farewells, and left.

After Luo closed the door, he then faced Xiao Lan’s gloomy face. fXHFqK

Black lines covered Xiao Lan’s face. “Return my purity to me!”

There was a smile in Luo’s eyes. “I’ll take responsibility, sir.”

Xiao Lan: “…”

This dialogue was strange and corny, and even brimmed with a distinctive old-fashioned flavour. Is2KhT

Xiao Lan felt that it was better to not continue. Wasn’t it just regarded as doing that? In any case, this wasn’t the first time. Xiao Lan hence explained it to himself.

After that, the two of them began checking for any wiretaps or surveillance devices in the room, and in passing, they carefully examined whether there was anything missing.

But they didn’t live here usually, so aside from a few electronic products and household goods, there honestly weren’t many traces that could be left behind.

As a result, after searching the house, the only thing missing was a book which Xiao Lan had left next to the bed — ‘Dudu Jiejie’s Drawing Guidebook’, limited hardcover edition. n8erzA

This was something Xiao Lan had prepared for Luo. He felt that Luo would probably prefer physical books compared with video tutorials.

So… the objective of the one behind the scenes was this book?

Xiao Lan had a stupefied expression. Were Dudu Jiejie fans this crazy? Unable to buy the limited edition, so they directly hired someone to steal it?

Or perhaps it was… the one who was looking into him. aFnABT

Today’s attack was very bizarre, but since it didn’t utilise a player’s strength and didn’t affect the real world, and the final outcome was even insignificant, it stepped perfectly on the edge of what the Advent World would tolerate.

It seemed that the other party was someone who understood the game rules very well.

And usually, the more someone understood the rules, the more they were fond of poking through the loopholes in them.

In a private meeting location which only members could enter. WsHYw0

A young man sat by the window, holding a glass of sparkling, pure amber wine. As he leisurely sipped on the wine, he casually admired the night scene outside the window. This was an exceptionally good location to appreciate this city’s night view. The bright lights were enchanting, like a sky of stars, and intoxicated countless photography enthusiasts. However, he looked on with indifference.

A woman dressed in exquisite formal attire pushed the door open and entered. Bowing at the man respectfully, she held up a delicate box containing ‘Dudu Jiejie’s Drawing Guidebook’ with both hands. “Cheng shao, we obtained the object you wanted.”

Although she was very confused by the thing in the box which they had taken great pains to obtain, she didn’t reveal it at all in both her expression and movements, and still appeared respectful and calm.

The man called Cheng shao, however, didn’t even bother to glance at either the brightly coloured book in her hands or the delicate and beautiful woman herself. SWqtKg

Cheng shao took a sip of the wine in his glass and asked with a light smile, “What did they say?”

The woman answered, “Their fighting strength is impressive, and they were no match for them.”

“Then that conversely is worth a look.” Cheng shao put down the wine glass and reached out to scratch the snow-white long-haired cat that leapt onto his knee before he waved to indicate that the woman could withdraw, without even raising his head.

The room became quiet once more, and only the cat’s comfortable purrs remained. Hduyrl

“Xiao Chengyan’s son… Hehe.” The man’s lip curled, a trace of arrogance in his smile. He languidly teased the cat in his lap and told it, “Do you want to see him too, Shirley?”

“Meow~”
