Chapter 11: The Handsome Boy's Burden
At the counter where chips are exchanged.
Chu Bais face was flushed. It was difficult for him to suppress his excitement.
He counted his chips and knew that he had won 35,000 yuan.
With that much money, the matter of medical expenses could be solved, and he would have a few thousand yuan left as pocket money.
In fact, Chu Bai wanted to win a bit more, but he was afraid of being noticed by other people and causing unnecessary trouble.
Of course, after tasting his first success, he had no intention of stopping.
He had already planned to change casinos and make more money the same way.
Casinos were his money-making machines.
Making a fortune was too easy.
Im not interested in playing any more games, exchange these for cash.
Chu Bai handed the chips to the girl. As she began counting them, eight young people with dangerous looks surrounded him.
The man with the scar also came over and said menacingly.
Kid, you dare to cheat in my place? You must be tired of living, right?
I cheated? How did I cheat? Why dont you show me? Chu Bais voice was weak, but he tried calming himself down.
Although he did cheat, there was no evidence that could prove he did.
I should be asking you that. The scarred man gave Chu Bai a sideways glance and told his younger brother.
Arrest him and tie him up.
Damn you!
Chu Bais Strength value wasnt low as he has always been ruthless. When things didnt go as planned, he instantly sent a flying kick towards the scar-faced mans lower half.
The man was knocked to the ground.
The shocked young brothers hurriedly went to pull their big brother up as the scene became chaotic.
Chu Bai sent another fist, knocking away two youths who blocked his way. Grabbing hold of the door, he instantly fled.
Big brother, big brother. Are you okay?
A group of young brothers pulled the scarred man up.
The scarred man covered his private place and grimaced in pain.
He never thought that a kid who looked younger than twenty could be so vicious.
Go after him! Chase him! Get him back!
The scarred man yelled at the younger brothers.
He initially wanted to chop off only one hand from Chu Bai as punishment for his so-called cheating, but his mind was now changed.
The scarred man didnt want to leave him with even a leg.
*****
Outside the Casino, at a street corner.
Wang Haoran was resting in the Cullinan when he saw a person fleeing from the entrance of the underground casino.
That man with a wretched appearance was none other than Chu Bai.
Behind him, seven or eight youths were chasing after him, wanting to put an end to his life.
Chasing after Chu Bai, the men rushed into the crowd.
About five minutes later, the seven or eight youths returned empty-handed.
Apparently, Chu Bai managed to escape.
Wang Haoran felt that that result was expected.
Although Chu Bais Protagonists Halo was weakened, he was the Protagonist. How could he get caught so easily?
[Ding! The Host successfully prevented the Protagonist Chu Bai from making his first fortune. Chu Bais Protagonists Halo decreased by -20, and the Hosts Villains Halo increased by +20. Received 200 Villain Points.]
Carrying out this elaborate plan and spending 500,000 yuan was worth it.
Wang Haoran happily checked his attribute panel.
[Host: Wang Haoran]
[Strength: 89]
[Charm: 268]
[Villain Halo: 169]
[Villain Points: 500]
[Skills: None]
500 Villain Points were enough to draw a prize, but after thinking for a while, Wang Haoran held back.
His current 500 Villain Points would become 0 after the draw.
If he came across a heroine or other supporting characters, he would have no Villain Points left to verify it.
He intended to get a few hundred more Villain Points then draw the lottery.
*****
For the remaining day or so of the vacation, Wang Haoran paid close attention to Chu Bais movements.
After escaping from the underground casino, Chu Bai didnt dare to go to other casinos, fearing that the scarred man messaged his younger brothers about him.
Classes were held on Monday as usual.
Wang Haoran arrived at the classroom whistling. Opening his desk, he found it filled with envelopes.
Wang Haoran opened a few and read them. He saw that they were love letters sent to him by girls.
This was the burden of being the most handsome boy in the school.
Still, the feeling of reading love letters was great.
Each girl wrote a letter filled with love, using all kinds of rhetorics to express their hearts, wanting him to accept.
Although Wang Haoran felt good after reading some of them, he didnt memorize a single girls name.
However, one love letter wasnt signed, leaving a profound impression on him.
He felt that the handwriting was a little too familiar.
But he didnt think about it too much. After reading the unsigned love letter, he threw it back into his desk.
Meanwhile,
Chu Bai also entered the class.
He was gloomy. You could tell from a glance that he was deeply pondering something.
Chen Zishi called Chu Bai aside to talk.
Did you manage to win the money during these two days of vacation? Chen Zishi asked.
I won more than 30,000 yuan at first, but after a little accident, II lost it all. Chu Bai said with a frown on his face.
Didnt you brag that you would win? How did you lose? When will I get my thousand yuan back? I still have to send a gift to Wen Jing at the end of this month. Chen Zishi suddenly became anxious.
Dont be angry. Isnt there still some time before Wen Jings birthday? Ill definitely find a way to pay you back. Chu Bai said comfortingly.
Youd better! Chen Zishi was very unhappy.
Although mens friendships sometimes sprouted quickly, they were also prone to conflicts.
Chen Zishi was so obsessed with Wen Jing that he spent most of the year saving up this thousand yuan. He sometimes starved himself and went without eating.
He suffered so much just to buy a decent gift for Jing Wen.
Listening to Chu Bai saying that he lost it, you could imagine how annoyed and mad he would be.
*****
"Brother Wang, Chu Bai, and Chen Zishi almost got into a fight."
Wang Haoran had someone pay attention to Chu Bais movements and tell him as soon as anything important happened.
Therefore, immediately after Chu Bai and Chen Zishi quarreled, someone came over to inform him.
"What did they talk about?" Wang Haoran asked.
The little brother told Wang Haoran the content of the two mens conversation.
Chu Bai borrowed a thousand yuan from Chen Zishi leading to his 1200 capital. They seem to have a really good friendship.
Then, this Chen Zishi is most likely the supporting character in the Protagonists camp, right?
Wang Haoran secretly speculated.
According to the tropes of urban novels, many Protagonists have a fat friend who dies.
Chen Zishis appearance fit the trope as well.
"System, look up Chen Zishi's information." Wang Haoran wanted to confirm it.
[Analyzing consumes 100 Villain Points. Do you want to proceed?]
"Yes."
The interface quickly appeared.
[Important Supporting Character: Chen Zishi (Protagonist Camp)]
[Strength: 69]
[Charm: 57]
[Supporting Character Halo: None]
[Skills: None]
It is indeed true. Wang Haoran discovered it, then asked.
System, if I destroy the relationship between the Protagonist and important supporting characters in his camp, can I get Villain and Halo Points?
[Answering to Host. This operation would affect the original plot. You can get Villain and Halo Points as a reward.]
Got it!
Wang Haoran nodded secretly, then began to think about it.
Chen Zishi currently was in a conflict with Chu Bai, and the key reason for it was Wen Jing.
Then, I can start from here.
But, how can I do it?
Wen Jing
Just as Wang Haoran thought of her, he became startled.
He picked up the unsigned love letter from before, and the corners of his mouth instantly raised.
No wonder the handwriting looked familiar.
It was Wen Jings!
Wen Jing always had small sticky notes to study with on her desk with her handwriting.
He and Wen Jing often changed seats, so of course, he saw them.
She has a crush on me? Good.
