Chapter 578: The Harvesting Game

When Li Guangming was hanging out with Jimmy in the beautiful country, he had heard Jimmy mention Helen’s name, saying he planned to take her down, and couldn’t help but laugh, “Looks like you’ve conquered another one. Congratulations, you’re one step closer to your goal.”

Jimmy sighed, “I’ve thought it over calmly the past few days, and I’m afraid my goal is unattainable now.”

Li Guangming asked, “What’s the matter? Weren’t you confident before?”

Jimmy sighed, “I realized I was wrong. Some female stars don’t lack money or resources at all. It’s just not possible to win them over. Besides, new female stars are constantly emerging in the industry; I can’t keep up. And the most important point is that my family’s fortune is declining. They’re giving me less and less money; I can’t keep up with the funding.”

Li Guangming smiled, “So that’s the reason. I told you before, your goal isn’t realistic. No need to be so obsessed. The way you are now is pretty good. Being able to sleep with one from time to time is better than what most people can hope for.”

“That’s true.” Jimmy nodded, reluctantly agreeing with Li Guangming’s perspective, then he quickly asked, “By the way, there was a reason you called me, right?”

Li Guangming said, “Yes, I need your help with something.”

Jimmy generously offered, “Help? In the words of your Huaxia, we’re brothers. Just tell me what you need. As long as it’s within my power, I’ll definitely take care of it for you!”

Li Guangming said, “I want to kill two people. Help me find a hitman.”

Jimmy asked, “Who are they? The price for a hitman depends on the person’s identity. After all, different statuses mean different levels of difficulty.”

Li Guangming said, “One is a billionaire and the other is the son of a trillionaire.”

Jimmy asked, “These two are celebrities in your Huaxia, right?”

Li Guangming replied, “Yes, they’re famous, very famous…”

He then went on to describe Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong’s situation.

Jimmy said, “Killing these two, especially in Huaxia, is going to cost a bit more.”

Li Guangming said, “No problem. As long as they can be killed, I can accept any price.”

Jimmy said, “Then wait a moment. I’ll contact some people. I’ll get back to you within twenty-four hours. After all, many hitmen are reluctant to take jobs in Huaxia. It’s a bit difficult to find the right person.”

Li Guangming said, “Alright, I’ll wait for your news.”

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Then, turning to look at the distant Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, he sneered sinisterly, “Oppose me, make me lose face, and I’ll make sure you die!”

Since Jimmy had already agreed to find someone, and money wasn’t an issue for him, getting a hitman over was a done deal.

Which meant Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong didn’t have long to live.

Bai Kunyu said, “Brother Ming, after it’s done, that Xu Yang’s wife will become your toy!”

Li Guangming’s eyes lit up, “Exactly! I wonder if Xu Yang would vomit blood in the afterlife, hahaha!”

…

On Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong’s end,

Many people were coming over to greet and chat with the two men.

Wang Xiaocong was doing okay. Even though he was the heir to Wan Da Group, his abilities were limited.

People would just greet him and move on.

Xu Yang was a different story, a sought-after commodity.@@novelbin@@

Xu Yang’s investment abilities were recognized by all the big players in the business world.

These people came over mainly to foster a good relationship with Xu Yang, hoping for a chance to invest alongside him in the future.

In the end, Wang Xiaocong got so bored that he started playing with his phone while Xu Yang chatted with the big shots who came over.

After the conversation wound down and the VIPs left, Wang Xiaocong couldn’t help but tease, “I’ve got to hand it to you, Xu Yang; you’ve really become the darling of the business world. The big shots are all initiating chats with you. It would be a crime against heaven if you don’t end up the richest man in the future.”

Li Guangming felt a bit speechless, but still humbly said, “Let’s just go with the flow.”

As for becoming the richest man, he had absolute confidence.

After all, he was a man with a system.

He aimed not only to become China’s richest man but also the richest in the world, standing at the pinnacle of the world.

However, the necessary humility was still important; you can’t just climb up the pole as soon as someone lifts you.

Wang Xiaocong said, “I believe in you, and later on, I’ll bask in your reflected glory. Being the brother of the richest man is quite a status symbol.”

Xu Yang replied, “You’re already the son of the richest man, isn’t that status symbol powerful enough? The presence as the brother of the richest man can’t be bigger than that of the richest man’s son.”

Wang Xiaocong shook his head, “It’s different. The clout of the richest man’s son is given by my dad, I had no choice in it, but the brother of the richest man is my active choice, my own merit!”

Xu Yang replied, “I see, that’s what you value.”

Wang Xiaocong nodded, changing the subject, “Right, my gaming company recently developed a game and I’m looking to promote it. Could you have the streamers from your Fengcai Guild do the promotion, no problem, right?”

He owned a gaming company, but it wasn’t doing well, practically on the brink of closure. They were preparing their last game, hoping for a resurrection. If that failed, he was ready to give up on it.

Xu Yang replied, “No problem, I’ll promote it for you for free. That’s brotherhood, right?”

Wang Xiaocong gave him a thumbs up: “That’s true brotherhood.”

Xu Yang casually asked, “What game did you develop?”

Wang Xiaocong answered, “Legend!”

Xu Yang was startled, “Legend? But hasn’t ‘Legend’ been around for a long time?”

Even though he wasn’t a gaming aficionado, he knew about “Legend”.

It was a game that had once swept the nation, filled with countless people’s youth and memories.

Wang Xiaocong chuckled, “What I’ve made is a knockoff of ‘Legend’, specifically tailored to harvest nostalgia. Plus, as long as you spend money, you can keep leveling up, perfectly satisfying people’s desires.”

Xu Yang was a bit speechless, “Paying to level up constantly sounds awfully similar to Penguin Games.”

Wang Xiaocong replied, “In this aspect, Penguin Games is indeed worth learning from, but my game is different.”

Xu Yang asked, “Isn’t that kind of like plagiarism?”

Wang Xiaocong said, “Of course not, my game isn’t called ‘Legend’, it’s called ‘Greedy Play Today’!”

Xu Yang was even more speechless, “So a change of costume and people won’t recognize you?”

Wang Xiaocong chuckled, “Anyway, rest assured, this isn’t plagiarism. Take a look, here’s the app for my game, I’ve already made it.”

As they spoke, he placed his phone in front of Xu Yang and launched the ‘Greedy Play Today’ app.

Then he introduced it, “My ‘Greedy Play Today’ is based on ‘Legend’, but with some added gameplay and a new payment system. I’ve sped up the pace, making it so addictive that players can’t stop!”

As Xu Yang listened to Wang Xiaocong’s introduction and observed, he couldn’t help but say, “The graphics of this game are way too crude. Is this the standard you’re supposed to have for games in 2023? It’s absolutely abysmal.”

The quality of the graphics truly was appalling; currently, there probably wasn’t a single game as poorly rendered.
