CHAPTER 130: CHAPTER 130: MISUNDERSTANDING

After recruiting two Ninjas on the recruitment screen, Xia Liang said with feigned helplessness, "Ugh, so annoying. I thought I’d need forty recruitment tickets, but I only used thirty. So frustrating, but oh well. I’ll just have to recruit again next time."

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing Xia Liang’s antics, Su Yi couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

"AH! AH! AH! Somebody stop me! I want to kill him!"

"Forming a party to assassinate Summer God Hao! 1/99."

"Waaah! It’s because of people like him that all I get from my ten-pulls are fragments."

"Summer God Hao, I beg you, be the Three-Stone Finisher."

...

The live broadcast chat was in an uproar, but Xia Liang contentedly put his phone away.

"I still have four Yuan left to earn! Where should I go now?"

Hearing this, Su Yi was also at a loss. Honestly, ideas would normally pop into her head without any effort, but when it really mattered, her mind was a complete blank.

Just as the two of them were out of ideas, a conversation between a nearby couple caught Xia Liang’s attention.

"Darling, are you done looking around? There’s an auto show in Qingyun City today, and they have an Aston Martin One-77. I want to go take photos."

"Cars, cars, cars! What’s the point of looking when we can’t afford one anyway?"

An auto show?

Xia Liang’s interest was piqued instantly. He obviously wasn’t planning on selling a car; it’s just that these kinds of exhibitions usually have promotions.

Maybe I could just casually buy a car and win the grand prize?

At that thought, Xia Liang couldn’t help but approach them.

"Excuse me for interrupting."

"Who are you?"

It was clear the woman in the couple was angry, and her tone wasn’t pleasant. But the moment she turned and saw Xia Liang, her eyes lit up, and her voice became incredibly gentle.

"Hi handsome, can I help you with something?"

Her tone was a complete reversal from a moment ago. The rapid change in her expression was a sight to behold.

Xia Liang, however, pointed at the man beside her. "Actually, I was hoping to speak to your boyfriend."

The smile on the girl’s face froze, turning into an incredibly awkward expression.

"Hahaha."

Standing beside him, Su Yi couldn’t hold back her laughter. However, she quickly apologized. "I’m sorry, he’s just like that. I am too, sometimes."

Hearing Su Yi say that, the girl’s expression softened considerably.

Xia Liang said to the man, "Bro, where’s this auto show you mentioned?"

"The auto show?" Hearing this, the man’s eyes lit up as if he’d found a kindred spirit. "You’re going too?"

"Mhm." Xia Liang nodded. "So, could you tell me where it is?"

"No problem! It’s over on Third Road; you can’t miss it. I heard it’s the biggest auto show Qingyun City has ever held. They even have an Aston Martin One-77 worth 4.5 million Yuan. You’re going to see that one, right?"

Looking at the excited man before him, Xia Liang finally just nodded. "Yeah."

The man’s smile grew even wider as he extended an invitation. "Then why don’t we share a ride and go together?"

"Ah, let’s not. I drove here, and my car only seats two," Xia Liang said, shaking his head.

Only seats two?

Hearing this, the girl who had felt inferior to Su Yi proudly puffed out her chest.

Though I might not be as pretty as you, my taste in men is better.

She chimed in eagerly, "Oh, it’s no trouble! It must be fate that we met. My boyfriend’s Mercedes is parked nearby. It’s getting colder, and it would be a shame if you caught a cold. Let’s all go together."

Her tone was dripping with smugness.

"No need," Xia Liang calmly declined.

If it gets cold, can’t I just put the convertible top up?

Since he already had the address, Xia Liang thanked the man. "Thanks, bro. I’m going to get my car as well."

They were both car lovers, so the man didn’t think anything of it.

The girl, however, had a triumphant glint in her eyes. In her mind, Xia Liang was making a shameful retreat.

That’s what you get for being prettier than me! For laughing at me! For embarrassing me! You’re going to the auto show too, aren’t you? Fine! Just watch how I’ll mock you later.

With that thought, the girl took her boyfriend’s arm again. "Honey, didn’t you want to see the auto show? Let’s go!"

"Awesome! Let’s head there now."

Seeing his girlfriend finally agree, the man eagerly headed toward the parking lot with her.

Meanwhile, Xia Liang and Su Yi had just gotten into their car, and the viewers in the live stream were bewildered.

"Hey Anchor, aren’t we supposed to be making money? Why are you going to an auto show?"

"Yeah, what’s so great about an auto show? The most expensive car there probably isn’t worth as much as Summer God Hao’s ride."

"What do you guys know? You don’t go to an auto show to see the cars. You go to see the long legs and the nice curves."

"Exactly! You guys up front, don’t stop the Anchor from taking us to see the show."

...

Reading the barrage of comments, Su Yi couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Xia Liang.

He wouldn’t be that frivolous, would he?

She then glanced down at her own chest. Though confident, she still couldn’t help but ask, "So, Xia Liang, what are we doing at the auto show?"

Xia Liang didn’t even turn his head. "Buying a car, of course. There are bound to be promotions at an auto show. Who knows, we might even win the grand prize."

"Oh! Let’s go then!" Su Yi replied, her mood instantly brighter.

「Ten minutes later...」

Liu Wei and Yang Li, the couple Xia Liang had just asked for directions, had arrived at the entrance to the auto show.

Liu Wei looked inside impatiently. "My dear! We’re already at the entrance. Why aren’t we going in?"

A flash of irritation crossed Yang Li’s eyes. "What’s the hurry? Aren’t we waiting for those two from earlier?"

Ugh, what is my girlfriend up to now?

Liu Wei could only pace back and forth restlessly. Just as he was about to lose his patience, he glanced toward the road.

"Holy shit!"

Liu Wei’s sudden curse made Yang Li jump. "What is wrong with you, Liu Wei? You scared me!"

But Liu Wei ignored her. He walked toward the intersection, muttering to himself, "It’s a Lamborghini Poison! So awesome!"

Seeing his excitement, Yang Li reflexively asked, "Lamborghini Poison? Is it expensive?"

"No kidding!" Liu Wei snapped back, a rare occurrence. "There are only nine in the entire world. Each one is worth 65 million Yuan."

"Sixty-five million Yuan?"

Yang Li was so shocked by the astonishing price that she gasped, completely forgetting that Liu Wei had just snapped at her.

"That’s so extravagant!" she murmured, her heart filled with envy and curiosity. What kind of person could possibly drive such a car?

While the onlookers wondered, the Lamborghini soon arrived at the auto show. Before the car had even come to a complete stop, a man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses came jogging over. Just one look at his suit and you could tell it was expensive.

"Young Master Zhang? Isn’t it Young Master Zhang! Are you here to look at the cars?" he asked, stopping by the driver’s side door.
