Chapter 205 Let’s Go to the Stone Speculation
“Brother Xiao Hong, let’s go with you, please!” Zhou Yuan and Liu Shuai held the door of the car. Hao Ning sat on the passenger seat, playing his new phone.
“What’s wrong with you two?” Xiao Hong said angrily but with a smile. “It’s the stone speculation. Why do you want to go? We will be back in half a day.”
“We never saw it before!” Liu Shuai said excitedly, holding the door of the car. “We read about it in novels before. Now it’s a chance for us to see a real one!” he added.
“Yes, yes!” Zhou Yuan echoed. “I studied it in the past 2 days. You know, I read many novels over the past 2 days. The stories about the stone speculation are so attracting. I want to go.”
“But you can go there in the next few days. Ok,” Xiao Hong said. He couldn’t close the door, so he got off the car and said to them. “Why do you want to go today?” he continued.
“You know, usually, only ordinary people will go there for a gamble,” Liu Shuai said with a smile. He pointed to Hao Ning and continued to say, “But today, Hao Ning will go there with his clairvoyance. It’s an exciting thing,” he said.
“Who told you I have clairvoyance?” Hao Ning said while he was playing his phone. “Don’t talk nonsense. I don’t have that!” Hao Ning added, looking at his phone.
“But you can borrow it!” Liu Shuai said. He attempted to open the front passenger side door. He tried to pull Hao Ning out of the car after he opened the door. But Hao Ning did not move an inch as if he had been a part of the car.
“You are using your power of kink-weight?” Liu Shuai said angrily. He walked back to his original position. “You did it, did it harder. Let’s see what will happen to you. Hem!” he added jokingly.
“No!” Hao Ning put aside his phone and smiled at Liu Shuai. “This is the power I borrowed from Liu Chan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It is named: Liu Adou. It is much more powerful than the kink-weight,” he said.
“…” Liu Shuai did not know what to say as he heard Hao Ning’s nonsense. He left Hao Ning alone and turned to Xiao Hong, saying, “Brother Xiao Hong, please take us with you…”
Xiao Hong was unhappy. He knew what they wanted. Their true intention had nothing to do with the stone speculation. They knew that Hao Ning would win a lot of money from the game. And H City was a place full of entertainment. Hao Ning, of course, would win a lot of money if he wanted to do it. At that time, Liu Shuai must suggest having a good rest as it was a weekend and had some big dinners. Nobody would refuse this temptation.
Actually, Xiao Hong was not a cheap man. He just hated the extravagant life. Compared with what he used to play, Liu Shuai’s games were like children’s games. So, he had no interest in their entertainment. That was the reason that he did not want them to go with him. He wanted to go there peacefully and had a tranquil time.
However, it was about the secrets hidden inside. As Liu Shuai did not speak it out, Xiao Hong also did not want to disclose it. Thinking of this, Xiao Hong said with a smile, “Hao Ning and I go there for something important. What are you for? I have an idea. You have one chance. You give us your reason why you want to go. If the reason is ok, I will take you with me!”
“I…” Liu Shuai wanted to say something, but he stopped. “I can use my Two Elements Dust Array!” he added.
“Will you use it in the stone speculation?” Xiao Hong said coldly. “I see. You want to prevent the rich from entering the gate. If so, how can we make money there? Go back!” he continued to say, and then he pointed to Zhou Yuan. “It’s your turn now,” he said.
“I…” Zhou Yuan stopped. He wanted to say that he could use the Hui sword. He suddenly realized that he was not the VIP in this group. What he wanted to do was to have fun there. Thinking of this, he said, “I can make Hao Ning and you like celebrities. Capable men!”
“Forget it!” Hao Ning said before Xiao Hong replied. He put down his phone and continued to say with a smile, “You have told us that you read a lot of novels recently. However, you did not get the essence of the novels. We need to keep a low key to do what we are going to do. If so, we can make big money without being noticed. If we become what you just said, others will kill us first? Xiao Hong, you are right about not taking them, or we will die there!”
“Hao Ning!” Liu Shuai screamed due to anger. “If so, don’t blame me if I do what you will do!” he added.
“Do what I will do?” Hao Ning said. He laughed as he heard it. “You want to do my job, or you want to learn my power Lend Me Your Mana?” Hao Ning said.
“Hey, hey,” Liu Shuai said nothing more to Hao Ning. He turned to Xiao Hong and said to him, “As a programmer, I can invent an APP that can scan the Pixiu decorations near computers at homes. If there is one, it might have collected human incense. We will know where the Pixiu decoration has been placed for the longest based on my artificial intelligence algorithm. The longest time one is stored, the most possibility for producing Pixiu Auspicious Beast!” he added.
“What are you talking about?” Hao Ning said. He could not understand what Liu Shuai said. “What is producing the Pixiu Auspicious Beast?” he asked.
“The Pixiu Auspicious Beast is just like an immortal,” Zhou Yuan smiled and said. “It is produced by the incense. The more time the decoration is placed at home, the more possible it produces the Pixiu,” he added.
“You are right!” Liu Shuai replied in confidence. “If so, Xiao Hong is more likely to find a girlfriend!” he added.
“Let me think of it,” Xiao Hong said to Liu Shuai. His breath was shortened. He still tried to behave calmly. “It is dangerous to get to the stone speculation this time. Risks are around us all the time. Liu Shuai’s Two Elements Dust Array is a power that can protect us. It is very useful! Liu Shuai, get on the car now!” Xiao Hong said.
“Wow. You are a bad boy, Xiao Hong!” Hao Ning said after he saw that Xiao Hong said something he did not truly mean for Liu Shuai and wiped his mouth water secretly.
“Let’s go!” Xiao Hong was ready to start the car. He turned back to Liu Shuai and said, “Are you serious that you can find one?”
“Of course!” Liu Shuai said with a smile. “And based on my calculation, if the APP is good enough, I can find out tens of them!” added Liu Shuai.
“That’s good!” Xiao Hong said with a trembling voice. He turned nervous and said to himself suddenly, “That may be too much for me…”
“Bomb” Hao Ning’s phone fell on his head.
Xiao Hong was so happy about Liu Shuai’s idea and he did not notice Hao Ning’s phone. “All right. Let’s go!” he said.
“Hey. What about me?” Zhou Yuan said promptly after seeing Liu Shuai being in the car. “Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong. If you have your girlfriend, do you know what she likes to eat, to wear, and to listen to? Do you know what men she likes? Did you try to guess what girls are thinking? Do you know what you should wear to get a girl’s heart?” Zhou Yuan said.
“No idea,” Xiao Hong was stunned. He never thought about it. “Why should I know this? Shouldn’t I knock her out and force her to be my wife?” he asked.
“Oh, my god,” Zhou Yuan said bitterly. “You thought that you are the king of a mountain? You are a Sudhana. Ah… No more nonsense. What I am good at is to satisfy others. I know what they like to listen to. And I will tell them what they like to listen to. And, as you know, let alone one or two Pixius, I can help you with tens of them, making them happy every day around you. As we are talking about this, I recently want to write a book about how to get girls. The title is How to Make A Girl Love You More Than 5000 Years…” he said.
“Brother Zhou, please get on the car!” Xiao Hong said. He got off the car and opened the door for him. “The blind match…No, the stone speculation. We need your guidance as you know things!” he added.
“Xiao Hong…” Hao Ning called. Seeing these two funny men sitting behind, Hao Ning knew that they were already discussing the plan for entertainment. He couldn’t help making a joke of Xiao Hong, “You, for getting a girl, you are willing to do anything.”
“You don’t know my situation,” Xiao Hong answered, looking at the front and driving the car. His miserable expression made Hao Ning laugh. “The suffering of the leftover boys, you may not understand…” Xiao Hong continued to say.
“Ha, ha, ha,” Hao Ning patted Xiao Hong’s shoulder sympathetically, leaving him alone for driving. He turned his head back and said to Liu Shuai, “Why are you free today? You don’t need to date your girlfriend Wen?”
Liu Shuai immediately turned miserable as soon as he heard what Hao Ning said.
“Hao Ning,” Zhou Yuan said while he was comforting Liu Shuai. He patted Hao Ning’s shoulder with his phone. “We did not mention your sad thing as you are not in a good mood. Why did you mention Liu Shuai’s painful thing?” Zhou Yuan asked Hao Ning.
“Forget it,” Liu Shuai said, lowering his head. “Don’t blame him. He did not know about it…” he added.
Liu Shuai’s painful thing? Did he break up with his girlfriend? Seeing Liu Shuai’s expression, Hao Ning understood that Liu Shuai broke up 100 percent with his girlfriend. As Hao Ning was in a bad mood recently, Liu Shuai did not tell him about his breakup. Hao Ning did not notice his breakup either. However, Hao Ning did not realize that he broke up so quickly that they became strangers from well-known lovers overnight.
Hao Ning wanted to ask when Liu Shuai broke up with his girlfriend. He stopped as he thought of his bad habits like interrupting others. And the pains would be added for Liu Shuai if he asked the relative questions. Thinking of this, Hao Ning sighed and comforted Liu Shuai, “Just forget it. Not a big deal. You deserve a better one. I thought that Wen was not suitable for our Liu Shuai. As Liu Shuai is so good. Let’s…”
“Bah!” Liu Shuai interrupted Hao Ning. He put down his phone and attempted to seize Hao Ning by the throat, “Who told you that Wen was not good enough for me? Wen is a good girl. I will kill you if you continue to say bad words about her!” Liu Shuai said angrily.
All of a sudden, it was bound to be awkward in the car. Liu Shuai’s hand, that attempted to seize Hao Ning’s throat, was hit on the steering wheel because of Hao Ning’s block. Xiao Hong did not notice what was happening. And then the car was steered suddenly, almost hit a car in the opposite direction. Thanks to Xiao Hong’s skillful driving ability, they avoided a crash. Xiao Hong was scared so much that he pulled over the car, shouting, “Hey, what are you doing? You didn’t see I am driving? What you two want to do? Not afraid of hitting? I am driving you guys to H City. If I am driving you guys on the clouds to Heaven, some of you will fall on the ground, I am afraid.”
“That means they can go to Heaven immediately as they die…” Zhou Yuan said to himself. Seeing Xiao Hong staring at him angrily, he said promptly, “Of course, it will not be as comfortable as riding on Great Saint Infant King’s private clouds. Right?” After saying this, he seriously pointed to Hao Ning and Liu Shuai who still seized Hao Ning’s throat, and said, “You two, behave yourselves. Stop! Hao Ning, say sorry to Liu Shuai.”
“Why?” Hao Ning was angry. “Why should I say sorry? He broke up with his girlfriend. As his friend, I already said some comforting words. What else can I say? To ask him why he broke up? To make him painful again? How can I be a friend like that? Why should I say sorry?”
“Oh, I see, ” Zhou Yuan said, hearing what Hao Ning said. He said to Liu Shuai, “Hao Ning just wanted to comfort you. He did not mean to hurt you. Although what he said was like a fool’s words, you don’t need to take it seriously.”
“Hey! Who is a fool?” Hao Ning was more angrily. “Zhou Yuan, what did you mean to say that?”
“Of course, you are a fool. You did not know what happened between Liu Shuai and his girlfriend, and what you said hurt Liu Shuai. Do you think you are comforting Liu Shuai?” Zhou Yuan grabbed Liu Shuai and said to Hao Ning. “Wen has no spare time to get out with us! That’s it. Why are you judging?”
“Ah?” marveled Hao Ning. As a man, how could he be like this because his girlfriend did not have time for him? However, it was possible when Hao Ning thought that they were in the infatuation period. Liu Shuai might feel disappointed when he heard that his girlfriend did not have time for him. Thinking of what he said a few minutes ago, he said to Liu Shuai promptly, “Liu Shuai, I am sorry. I am a bastard. I did not know the situation. Sorry.”
“Forget it,” Liu Shuai smiled. Liu Shuai already had known that Hao Ning did not mean to hurt him in the first place. However, thinking that Hao Ning’s comforting words might work if Wen really broke up with him. He then waved his hand and said, “The thing itself did make outsiders confused. What you said was normal.”
“What happened?” Xiao Hong interrupted. Xiao Hong was more curious about things than Hao Ning did. He expected that Liu Shuai would tell the story. However, they did not have time for a story. So, he said, “It’s a little late now. Will you guys prefer to listen to the story here or in the car?”
“In the car, of course,” Zhou Yuan said, patting their shoulders. “But I will sit in the front seat and you two sit behind. Xiao Hong, if they fight again, we run away immediately and let them hit any place they want. Anyway, we are not involved in their cause and result. It’s just two dead men in a car, no big deal at all!”
“Wow, you are so tough!” Hao Ning and Liu Shuai stared at Zhou Yuan. Hao Ning changed his seat with Zhou Yuan and said, “Let’s go!”
