"If this isn't love, what's there for me to be sad about~~"

Watching this scene, Little Wen clicked her mouse a few times, and such music began to flow.

"..."

Don't just add a random BGM, lady.

"No need for that, Bufan. Take back your oath. Your sentiment alone has moved me greatly. Even if you were to betray me one day, I would never blame you." Song Luping, a man in his twenties, had the benevolent face of a man in his sixties.

Thanks for your understanding, bro. You said it yourself. When you find out the truth, you're absolutely not allowed to curse me out.

Lin Li gave a 'shy' smile.

"Although our ages aren't suitable for a father-son relationship, we can become sworn brothers on another day. From then on, I will truly call you my brother.

That way, I can be like Liu Bei and proudly declare to all the chicken farms in Brook Creek—my second brother is invincible under the heavens!

I remember reading in history that Sun Shangxiang willingly married Liu Bei because she heard him say this often. Unfortunately, she later found out she was deceived and was very angry, which is why she never bore him a son.

Little Fan, if I say this, do you think someone will throw themselves into my arms too?"

Song Luping had entered his fantasy time.

Lin Li: "?"

Bai Bufan really should become sworn brothers with Song Luping. They're both revisionist historians.

"Alright, you two brothers, stop being so sentimental at the door. This is... Brother Little Fan, right? Are you going up now? I'll have someone take you there. Brother Song, you should hurry back. We'll take good care of this little brother of yours for you.

As for you, hurry back and soak some goji berries, Solomon's seal, Cistanche, horny goat weed, and dodder seeds in your thermos... and don't come back for a while."

Although Little Wen was definitely older than Lin Li, in this kind of setting, they would rarely call a customer 'little brother', hence her words.

Lin Li clicked his tongue. Just hearing the names of these Chinese herbs was enough to make his nose almost gush blood.

"He's not here to spend money today, just to check out the situation," Song Luping explained for him before Lin Li could speak.

"Right, that's it, Sister Little Wen. And I still need to save up money. The earliest I could probably come is this weekend," Lin Li chimed in.

The sooner he completed the mission of taking Bai Bufan on a vice raid, the sooner he could get the elixir.

Who knows, one pill might send him straight to heaven.

"Oh, oh, so that's how it is. Okay, okay, no problem. Just come whenever you're ready. If I'm not on duty that day, just say you were introduced by Brother Ping, and mention that Little Wen has also met you, and there won't be a problem.

Even if there are still problems, they'll ask me, and I'll solve them for you," Little Wen nodded upon hearing this and continued with a smile:

"As for the money? Hasn't Brother Song told you? Our main selling point is good quality at a low price. You probably won't have to save for too long."

"I actually didn't get a chance to tell him. But Little Wen, give Brother Song some face this time. For Little Fan's future spending, give him a bit more of a discount, say, twenty percent off. Don't worry, I've taught him, he's sensible, he'll only pay in cash," Song Luping reminded Little Wen.

"Usually, customers introduced by you, Brother Song, get a five percent discount. Little Fan has a good relationship with you, so a ten percent discount is definitely no problem. But twenty percent off... I'll have to ask the boss and the sisters. I'll try my best," Little Wen made an OK gesture, but didn't fully agree.

Song Luping actually hadn't deceived him. He really did have such a huge influence in the chicken-raising world.

"Ten percent off doesn't sound good. People will say my face is only worth a ten percent discount. At the very least, it should be eleven percent off, right?" Song Luping haggled.

"Fine, fine, fine." Little Wen nodded. After looking around to make sure there were no normal customers, she said to Lin Li, "Since we're idle anyway, let me introduce you to the prices in the shop first, so you don't end up bringing too much or too little money when you come.

The prices are roughly like this..."

Don't say it, you really shouldn't say it. The prices at this shop were so much lower than at Light Jazz. Not only were the corresponding services only half the price of Light Jazz, but the extra charges for additional services were also incredibly low.

"It's really not expensive..." Lin Li remarked.

What a pity.

"Of course. Our Tianhong's main strategy is small profits and quick returns. We do manual labor, life is tough, just earning some hard-earned money," Little Wen said with some pride after hearing his remark.

"Little Fan, the Light Jazz you went to before is in the center of Brook Creek. The rent there is way different from here. Plus, they want to create a high-end atmosphere. The prices are purely inflated by various factors. Except for the considerate Tian Tian, who is unfortunately in jail now, none of them are worth it.

Since I was young, I've believed in and recognized one saying: misfortune is where fortune relies, and fortune is where misfortune hides. A fortune-teller told me when I was a child that my life would be a balance of fortune and misfortune, neither good nor bad.

This also applies to you.

Although you were caught at Light Jazz, Little Fan, within that misfortune was the fortune of meeting me. You've actually come out ahead. You've saved yourself six or seven years of fumbling around in Brook Creek, you don't have to spend any unnecessary money, and you don't have to waste time."

Song Luping analyzed the reasons for Lin Li and sighed with emotion.

Suddenly, Song Luping frowned.

He realized a problem. "Strange, I narrowly escaped death at Light Jazz before. That should definitely count as absolute fortune, right? But after that, nothing else worth mentioning happened to me, except for meeting you.

But this matter is still an absolute fortune for me. Hey, where's my misfortune?

I have a bad feeling. Don't tell me I'm about to encounter a big one?"

Song Luping fell into worry.

Hello, the big one is right here.

Lin Li blinked. He suddenly wanted to meet this fortune-teller. He was quite accurate.

Lin Li actually believed in metaphysics too, but only half of it.

A twitch in the left eye means wealth, a twitch in the right eye means feudal superstition—Lin Li only believed in the half that was good for him.

But this fortune-teller seemed a bit too accurate.

Maybe he was a real-life cultivation master, a being who could already shatter the void and wander through several worlds.

"Brother Ping, there's no need to worry. This is feudal superstition. The reason you think it's accurate is the same as with horoscopes. The descriptions of horoscope fortunes, even a dog would match a few of them. It's all a psychological effect, a result of your own imagination."

Horoscope fortune-teller: XX-sign will die this month if they don't breathe. Horoscope fan: Wow, so accurate, this is totally talking about me!

"I don't think you'll encounter any more misfortune." Thus, the biggest misfortune himself began to console Song Luping. After all, he couldn't let the man suspect him.

"That's true. Maybe my luck turned around ever since I met you, Little Fan. After all, before I met you, I had already given up on the idea of finding a kindred spirit in this world. Yes! That's it! Understanding it this way makes everything clear. I should thank you, Little Fan."

Song Luping was clearly an optimist who could comfort himself. He had found a reason he could accept.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to say. Sister Little Wen, it's very likely I'll bring a classmate of mine to spend money here this weekend. Is that okay?

Will he be excluded because he's a stranger? He can pay the original price without a discount, and I can teach him and make him abide by Brother Ping's lecher's code." Lin Li said.

He couldn't have Bai Bufan being stopped at the door.

Although Lin Li thought that scene would be quite interesting. He really wanted to see Bai Bufan's furious face.

"Are you familiar with this classmate of yours?" Song Luping asked on behalf of Little Wen.

"Very familiar, super bro. Brother Ping, he's one of us, he holds the same high regard for eating chicken. It's just that he lacks a bit of my courage and doesn't dare to try it alone," Lin Li nodded. "It's a pity he's a boarding student, otherwise I'd call him over right now for you to meet."

"He's the same as you?" Song Luping was shocked.

As expected of the top high school in Brook Creek Town! It's full of talent!

To think that in such a small school, not only was there a crouching dragon, but also a hidden phoenix!

"I must introduce you to him when I have the chance."

Perhaps he had some doubts before, but now, Song Luping was certain. Bai Bufan was his lucky star!

To hell with 'fortune relies on misfortune'. From now on, his luck had turned, and there would only be fortune!

"Of course, bro. I estimate he'll be even happier than you when he finds out. You two will definitely have a lot to talk about," Lin Li nodded. He said this with sincerity.

"Then that's no problem at all! As long as you're familiar with him, my brother's brother is also my brother. How can there not be a discount? Don't worry about these small amounts of money for me!" Song Luping said heartily.

"...Brother Song, that's our money you're discounting," Little Wen raised her hand to indicate.

"Ahem, not important. What's the relationship between us? No need to be so clear-cut."

Little Wen rolled her eyes helplessly, but didn't refute further. She nodded at Lin Li:

"Brother Little Fan, you're already one of us now. As long as you personally bring your friend over, and he doesn't come alone, it's absolutely no problem to entertain you both together."

"That's great. I'm already looking forward to what will surely be a very pleasant weekend," Lin Li showed an 'excited' smile. "I hope there won't be any more accidents. Last time almost gave me a trauma."

"You were just really unlucky last time. But don't worry, Tianhong is an old and established brand. There won't be any more accidents, I guarantee it!" Song Luping patted his chest heavily, full of heroic spirit.

"Hiss—" The imposing manner didn't even last a second. Song Luping started rubbing his chest, sucking in a cold breath.

To be beaten up like this by his own hand, he was a talent in his own right, rounding up.

"I'll take your auspicious words, Brother Ping. Then—"

Tonight was a perfect ending. The mission was over-fulfilled by several times. Lin Li was just about to contentedly bid farewell.

"Yes, Brother Little Fan, don't worry. We're very vigilant now.

During the weekend, when customer traffic is highest, we'll have people keeping an eye on the cops' every move, to ensure that you and your friend have a safe and happy weekend!" After saying that, she even gave Lin Li a wink.

Lin Li, who was already preparing to turn and leave, froze in place. The polite farewell words in his mouth were swallowed back down before they could come out.

Lin Li turned his head, revealing a genuine curiosity:

"Oh—?"

"There's such a thing?"
