An Old Scoundrel Blocked the Door
"Sir, I'm delivering food, can you just turn a blind eye and let me pass?"
Faced with the top-tier player in the current T0 meta, Xu Yi dared not utter a single harsh word, displaying extreme humility.
The old man remained as still as a mountain.
"Sir, we're all just working people. Why should working people make things difficult for each other? Please, do me a favor and let me through."
When one plan failed, Xu Yi devised another: the self-inflicted injury ruse.
The old man glanced at people sideways, then, like a god of war, raised his leg and blocked two paths.
"No!"
The old man leisurely took a sip of tea and uttered two words.
"Delivery workers and dogs are not allowed in; that's the rule."
"???"
Xu Yi looked completely bewildered.
No!
If you don't want me to come in, then don't come in. Why are you swearing at me, sir?
With such a huge grudge, did the food delivery guy dig up your ancestral graves?
"Sir, I see there's a delivery lane inside, why aren't we allowed in?"
Xu Yi pointed to a corner of the Hall, where a brightly lit sign clearly stated. "Delivery lane. Delivery drivers are welcome, and there's a dedicated elevator."
How can you leave a delivery lane open while blocking people at the entrance?
"Who said this is the Hotel's rule? This is the rule I set!"
"I'm the gatekeeper; only those I allow can pass!"
"I'm not letting delivery drivers in, what can you do about it? You dare hit me? Hit me, I'll lie down and extort a million or two from you!"
The old man shook his head and swayed his body, looking like a punching bag that deserved a beating.
"Holy crap, this old man really deserves a beating!"
"Blood pressure, my blood pressure!"
"Blood pressure medication! Quickly get the blood pressure medication for the upstairs!"
"What good are blood pressure medications? To deal with this old man, you have to go all out. I challenge him to a duel!"
"Upstairs, all you do is bully old men. Aren't you afraid he'll suddenly die and then try to extort money from you?"
"That old bastard claims to be a walking millionaire, do you think he's joking?"
Before Xu Yi even made a move, the Livestream Viewers' blood pressure had already skyrocketed.
Especially those Livestream Viewers work in office buildings, they wanted nothing more than to beat this old man to death.
Working is already tiring enough, and the rest time is so short. Ordering takeout in advance is just a way to avoid going downstairs to eat and to rest a little longer.
As a result, either the elevator was out of power, or the delivery driver was stopped and couldn't deliver the food; in short, you had to go downstairs and climb the stairs yourself.
So, I paid for the takeout but didn't enjoy any convenience.
If the Security Guard has his reasons, and considering the principle of not making things difficult for other working people, it's understandable.
But why should this old man forgive him?
"Sir, are you deliberately making things difficult for me? I insist on going in!"
Xu Yi glanced at the comments and became somewhat angry as well.
"If I don't let you pass, how are you going to get in?"
"You think you're driving the Big Beta of the Goosefeather Bear Country, able to go wherever you want? What a load of bull!"
The old man said smugly.
"Aaaaaaah, I can't take it anymore, Xu Yi! If you don't kill him, I'll go to the temple every day and curse you to grow one centimeter shorter!"
Hell is empty; all the devils are here on earth!
"I was wondering why the Supermarket wasn't selling bamboo shoots anymore. Turns out this old man ate them all! He's so greedy!"
Livestream Viewers were absolutely furious, even through the screen.
When they have money, they will definitely buy a phone that allows them to stick their hands inside the screen.
"Everyone, please don't be angry. This old man is top-tier in this version, with maxed-out magic resistance. He's clearly having a rough time and is deliberately making things difficult for people. Xu Yi, let's just cancel this takeout order and find another one?"
Some rational Livestream Viewers advised Xu Yi to accept his fate.
If you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least avoid them?
Xu Yi didn't really take the old man's deliberate harassment seriously, but when he saw this comment from Livestream Viewers, his eyes widened instantly.
If I cancel this takeout order, isn't that basically getting ripped off again?
Keep in mind, this takeout order was prepaid, and it was the extra-delicious durian rice. Even from two miles away, Xu Yi couldn't stand the smell!
If it's not delivered to the customer, he'll have to eat it himself.
For someone like him who can't eat durian, what's the difference between eating it and eating shit?
I'm asking you one last time, are you going to give way or not?
Xu Yi gritted his teeth and said.
"No way! I'd rather die than let you! Even if you bring in the manager, it won't do you any good. Do you think the manager dares to control me?"
"To tell you the truth, I don't earn much working as Security Guard here; I just do it because I enjoy it!"
"I'm going to make things difficult for you delivery guys!"
The old man vividly embodied the words "disrespectful to elders" and "old beast"!
If there were a list of such people, this old man would definitely be at the top, and if he posted it on social media, he could attract a bunch of little old ladies as his fans.
[Negative emotions +1 +1 +1 +1 +1]
The Livestream Viewers were completely devastated and had given up all hope for Xu Yi.
"Old man, are you deliberately messing with me?"
Xu Yi sneered and activated the gambling mode.
You forced me to do this, you old fool!
"System, 10 consecutive draws, activate!"
"Bite!"
"10-pull activated!"
"Congratulations, host! You have won an Urn!"
"Congratulations, host! You've won a pair of Yoga Pants from the Old Sister!"
"Congratulations, host, you've drawn an Old Darling!"
???
Looking at the reward drawn by the system, Xu Yi was full of questions.
No, the system was already restored, so why is it acting up again, giving us a bunch of useless junk!
What are Yoga Pants for Old Sister? Are they fashionable pants to make Old Sister happy?
He's so young, what use would he have for Urn?
And this Old Darling, System, you're really not even going to put on an act anymore. You're so eager to give me a shortcut in life, to make me a father at such a young age?
Can't my Old Darling have children and become a father?
Who says being a father means only being a biological father?
A ninety-year-old Old Darling, with an eldest son who's at least sixty—will the eldest son acknowledge him as his father? Will he take care of him in his old age?
If he doesn't support his parents in their old age, wouldn't he have gained an unfilial son?
Just as Xu Yi was lost in thought, a golden light flashed before his eyes, and the system finally returned to normal.
"Congratulations, host! You've won a 'Scoundrel Governance Manual'!"
"Does the host wish to use the Scoundrel Governance Manual '?"
"Use!"
Xu Yi spoke immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
After the golden light, Xu Yi felt as if Sudden Enlightenment, and his mind was filled with a flood of indescribable information.
Goodness!
You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
Old Deng, being older, has more tricks up his sleeve!
It turns out that it wasn't old people who turned bad, but rather bad people who grew old!
Good people are mostly the same, but bad people are bad in all sorts of ways.
"Hey kid, it's been ten minutes already! Is your takeout going to be expired? You're going to get fined, aren't you?"
Seeing that Xu Yi remained silent, the old man said with schadenfreude.
Even the Century Tianhua was subdued by him, how could a lowly deliveryman possibly get past him?
Innocent!
The old man chuckled, but as he chuckled, his laughter faded.
Because Xu Yi's laughter was louder than his.
"What are you laughing at? Pinhaofan too much and lose your mind?"
The old man was unhappy.
Xu Yi stopped smiling, looked at the old man calmly, and saw through his evil nature at a glance.
You old beast, let's see who's laughing now!
