Happiness

After saying goodbye to Huang Lu and the cute girl, Xu Yi hopped on his electric scooter and, after many twists and turns, left the city and plunged into the deep mountains and forests, as happy as a mad monkey.

Ah, freedom!

Ah! The wilderness!

Ah! Birds...

"Ptooey! Who the hell pooped that bird poop?"

The monkey became well-behaved.

Despite being accompanied by bird droppings the whole way, Xu Yi finally arrived at the location Huang Lu and the cute girl had mentioned before his electric scooter ran out of power.

The abandoned old factory is dilapidated, but a sign above the entrance proclaims it as Super Awesome Base.

Because no one was taking care of it, the signboard was covered in dust, and Xu Yi could only make out the four big characters "Awesome Base" at first, which greatly impressed him.

"Is finding this place more difficult than being scammed?"

Xu Yi looked at the Awesome Base and was speechless.

This dilapidated factory in the far suburbs, which might not even be shown on a map, how did Huang Lu and that cute girl find it and then willingly invest tens of millions of yuan? Weren't they out of their minds?

"Entrepreneurial investors who claim to be amazing are one thing, but to call themselves incredibly amazing? Isn't that obviously a scam?"

Xu Yi turned on the live stream and pointed the camera at the dilapidated signboard of the Awesome Base.

"That's not actually the case!"

I don't think so!

"Where did these two trolls come from? Moderators, ban them! They're obviously scammers, why are you even using your brain? I could tell they're scammers even with my ass!"

"To be honest, even though the environment is a bit run-down and the location is a bit out of the way, if they dare to call themselves 'super awesome,' they must have some skills, right?"

After only a few words were exchanged, the Livestream Viewers started arguing again.

Seeing that relying on his Livestream Viewers was useless, Xu Yi shrugged and walked straight through the door.

Upon seeing this, the Livestream Viewers immediately stopped arguing and began to exclaim in surprise.

"No, Xu Yi, are you trying to kill yourself?"

"We asked you to teach the scammers a lesson, not to risk your life and get yourself killed!"

"Xu Yi, this is a swindler's lair, not a place to joke around. You'd better call some people before you come back!"

The Livestream Viewers were shocked.

They knew Xu Yi was usually carefree and liked to do abstract things and create some entertainment, but even if he wanted to create entertainment, he couldn't risk his life, could he?

Where are we right now?

Super Awesome Base!

A scammer's hideout!

It's not exactly a desolate wilderness, but it's still a remote and sparsely populated place.

If something really happens here, even if they call the police, they won't be able to help in the short term.

"Brothers, rest assured, with my imperial robes covering my body, I am immune to all poisons. How could a few Little Liar possibly be a match for me?"

Xu Yi smiled faintly and walked into the courtyard.

However, as soon as Xu Yi stepped inside, he was once again shocked.

"Entrepreneurial investors have to be crazy first; how can you succeed if you're not crazy?"

"Think you can just throw in a little money and expect to win big? The God of Wealth isn't stupid!"

"Even if I emptied my pockets, I could afford Land Rover!"

"Making money through investments brings honor to one's ancestors!"

Four banners hung in the courtyard, fluttering in the wind.

Dozens of people sat in the courtyard, in small groups, talking loudly not about investment or business, but about how there were too many fools and how even scammers had to work overtime!

"I didn't really try to fool him; I just shouted the slogans to him a few times, and he cried and begged to hand over his entire fortune to me for investment!"

"Hey bro, how much money did you make?"

"Not much, just a few million in the last few months, all hard-earned money! I started out working honestly, like a beast of burden, but who would have thought I'd end up on the crooked path, a swindler, still working like a beast of burden? It's unbelievable!"

The four people leaning against the door talked and turned to look at Xu Yi with curiosity on their faces.

It's really strange that a vendor would come to this remote place where there's no village or shop in sight.

"Who's in charge here?"

Despite being watched by dozens of people, Xu Yi remained fearless and simply opened the door to greet them.

"Hey kid, who let you in? Don't you know this is a private place?"

A man walked up and looked at Xu Yi's delivery uniform with disdain.

"Private space? We food delivery workers are trespassing on private spaces!"

Xu Yi spoke, he raised his hand and slapped the man across the face.

A private place, right?

You're a scammer, aren't you?

Looking for a beating, huh?

The burly man was stunned after being slapped, staring at Xu Yi in disbelief.

Are food delivery drivers really this arrogant these days?

"Kid, you dare hit me?"

"Smack!"

"Do you believe I'll give you Negative Review right now?"

"Smack!"

"Brother, please stop hitting me! I've knelt down before you! What is it you need? I'll do it for you right now!"

The man covered both sides of his face, almost kneeling down.

The Livestream Viewers in the Livestream Room were stunned.

The other swindlers in the courtyard were speechless.

This kid is such a loser! He looks so big and strong, how come he can't even take a beating?

But little did they know what the burly man was feeling at that moment.

Although Xu Yi only slapped him twice, he felt like he had just been on the verge of death.

With the system's support, even though Xu Yi deliberately held back, he almost gave the burly man a concussion.

Xu Yi looked at the man with a smile.

"I'm not looking for anyone else, I'm only looking for you!"

On his way here, he had already decided to make things quick and decisive; he had to catch this swindler and squeeze him dry.

Director Xu, a man of great stature, has an entire crew waiting for him to film a program tomorrow, and he also has movies to make in the future. How could he possibly waste his time on a few Little Liar?

Upon hearing what Xu Yi said, the burly man immediately burst into tears.

He's such a jerk, why did he have to come up here on his own initiative?

Couldn't he just stay in the back and brag quietly?

"Crying, crying counts too! Do you know why I came to find you?"

Xu Yi said.

The burly man was about to feign ignorance when he saw Xu Yi raise his hand again. He immediately trembled with fear and hurriedly nodded.

"Brother, are the people around here so clueless that they tricked your family into investing?"

"You're smart to know what's good for you!"

Xu Yi smiled faintly and lowered his hand.

Just as the burly man breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had escaped a major beating, he saw Xu Yi raise his hand again.

"Smack!"

Another bright red handprint appeared on the burly man's face.

"Didn't I answer correctly? Why are you hitting me?"

"Nonsense, since you know why I'm here, why don't you hurry up and hand over the money?"

Xu Yi said unhappily.

Upon hearing this, the burly man burst into tears of grievance, and even the Livestream Viewers in the Livestream Room felt sorry for him.

Although they came to collect a debt, as the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor.

This burly man only came up to say a few words, is that such a big crime?

He slapped me several times, and look how badly he's been beaten; he's practically a grandson now.

"How much money do you want? Let's talk this out. As long as you don't hit me, I'll do whatever you ask!"

The burly man said, sounding aggrieved.

So cooperative?

Even Xu Yi, who wanted to finish the battle quickly, felt a little embarrassed.

Have I been exploiting you too much?

"If you had cooperated like that just now, I wouldn't have hit you, would I?"

[Negative emotions +100]

Why the hell didn't you say so earlier?

The burly man stared at Xu Yi speechlessly.

From the moment he received that first slap, was there a single word of non-cooperation he uttered?

It was clearly Xu Yi who felt the urge to hit someone, so why is the blame being placed on him?
