Shallow Waters Breed Turtles; A Big Shell Makes You Reckless, and One Big Pot Cooks the Lot!
{Time: 8:00:00 AM, June 4, 2025!}
{In Liu Yunxiang's bedroom, her cell phone alarm rang on time. Still half asleep, Liu Yunxiang yawned, sat up in bed, picked up her phone, and opened Bubble Chat!}
"I don't know why Ling Yi asked me to transfer a million yuan to him. This guy has become so mysterious, I understand him less and less," Liu Yunxiang muttered to herself.
{As they were talking, Liu Yunxiang had already completed the transfer of 1 million yuan. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the butler Laifu's voice came from outside. "Madam, the bidding meeting starts at nine o'clock. It's time to get up and prepare."}
Upon hearing the word "Madam, "Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but smile. This butler Laifu, was not only exceptionally capable in every way, but also very sensible.
" Ling Yi didn't object to the housekeeper calling her 'Madam,' so does that mean he's tacitly acknowledging our relationship?" Liu Yunxiang got up, dressed, and left the room.
Next, under the housekeeper's arrangement, Liu Yunxiang had her makeup done and was changed into a dress by a makeup artist whom the housekeeper had somehow hired...
{This script is now complete. The current script can be edited to 1 character!}
[Confirm][Cancel]
Looking at the script in the text box, Ling Yi pursed his lips and murmured, "Madam?"
Perhaps it is indeed time to give Liu Yunxiang a formal title.
The White Moon may be hateful, but love should not be betrayed.
Loving someone may be a Thorns path, but being loved is a blessing.
After changing the word "yuan" in "1 million yuan" to "100 million", Ling Yi clicked OK.
All that's needed is for Ling Yi to wait until 8 o'clock, and he will become a billionaire.
With his cheat-like ability, making money was far too easy for Ling Yi, so easy that it made Ling Yi feel somewhat guilty.
"The system will adjust Correction Battle Power Points; there's an upper limit. I wonder what the upper limit is for money. I'll try it out when I have the chance."
Ling Yi opened the system interface.
The script has been played 8 times already; two more are needed to reach 10.
After 10 times, the number of times a script can be generated each day, as well as the number of words that can be modified in a script, will both increase by 1!
With this temporary task added, the number of times a script can be generated per day will become 2, and the number of words that can be modified will become 3!
The amount of controllable space is much greater.
"I just don't know how to increase the script's length."
Each script is only ten minutes long, which is really too short, especially when it stops at crucial moments, which is quite frustrating.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Ling Yi and Liu Yunxiang, accompanied by two bodyguards, appeared at the entrance of the Dihao Cloud Court Hotel.
"According to the schedule, the auction will start at 9:30 a. m., followed by lunch and a break. The project bidding will take place in the afternoon," Liu Yunxiang said, looking up at the main entrance of the Dihao Cloud Court Hotel.
The Dihao Cloud Court Hotel is the most luxurious hotel in the entire Baihai City, or more accurately, the entire North Leaf Province.
I don't know exactly what makes this "top-tier" thing.
A taller building? More luxurious decorations?
Ling Yi had only ever heard of Star Grade hotels, six- Star Grade hotels, and presidential suites from movies and TV series.
But I've never actually seen it.
Therefore, Ling Yi had no concept of Star Grade rating or top-tier status.
Just then, another black sedan pulled up in front of the hotel.
The car looks very similar to the Audi A6, except that there are gold patterns on both sides of the front, which adds a touch of luxury to this black sedan.
The car door opened, and an elderly man with half-gray hair, wearing a gray suit, stepped out.
The old man was not tall and was somewhat thin. His gray suit looked ordinary, but it fit him perfectly, making him look very presentable.
The old man walked up the steps and saw Ling Yi and Liu Yunxiang looking at him. He smiled slightly and greeted them, "Are you here for the bidding meeting too?"
"Yes, sir!" Ling Yi nodded.
Those who can attend the bidding conference must have impressive backgrounds and identities. Although this old man looks ordinary, his demeanor is extraordinary.
"He's really young!" the old man remarked.
Ling Yi and Liu Yunxiang were both around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.
As Ling Yi said, those who can participate in the bidding conference are either rich or powerful.
However, most of them are over forty or fifty years old.
It's extremely rare for someone as young as Ling Yi and his group to qualify for the bidding.
"Let's go, the auction is about to begin, let's go into the venue!" the old man said.
"Please, sir!" Ling Yi said, falling a step behind.
The old man nodded and walked towards the hotel's main entrance.
However, they were stopped by the security guard at the entrance when they tried to enter.
Please show me the invitation!
The old man smiled and nodded, reaching into his jacket pocket, but after a moment, he said somewhat awkwardly, "I seem to have forgotten to bring the invitation."
"Sorry, you cannot enter without an invitation!" the security guard said earnestly.
"Could you please contact your manager and tell him my name is Zhang Huai, and I'm from North Leaf City..."
Before the old man could finish speaking, a portly middle-aged man walked out of the door.
He arrogantly said to the old man, "Where did this country bumpkin come from? If you don't have an invitation, get lost!"
As he spoke, he reached out to push the old man.
The old man was right at the edge of the steps. If the push landed hard, he might fall.
Ling Yi suddenly remembered the content of the script he had seen when he was working on the script for Zheng Feng.
The time, place, and plot all match up!
This fat man with a big head and big ears must be Zheng Feng's cousin, and the scoundrel who dragged Zheng Feng into Hell because of this incident.
However, Ling Yi's script was written after the bidding process.
Ling Yi only knew the cause and effect through Zheng Feng's phone conversations with others, but he didn't know the specific details.
Whether it's clear or not doesn't matter; Ling Yi never intended to get involved in Zheng Feng's mess anyway.
But Ling Yi couldn't bear to see this old man injured right in front of him, could he?
With Ying Yi, as if Teleportation, Ling Yi appeared in front of the old man.
He grabbed the fat man's wrist!
With a flick of his hand, the fat man was thrown back several steps by Ling Yi's unreasonable and terrifying strength, and landed on the ground with a thud.
Liu Yunxiang blinked. Huh? When did Ling Yi run off to the front?
Zhao Lei and the other man behind her were completely dumbfounded.
This speed is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Holy crap, is our new boss really a master?
Putting everything else aside, just that speed, that reaction time, that strength—if they really went up against the boss that day, even ten of them together wouldn't be enough to deal with him, right?
The old man named Zhang Huai also looked at Ling Yi with surprise. This young man was indeed extraordinary.
"You bastard, are you looking for death?" The fat man stood up angrily.
"How dare you cause trouble on my turf! You lot, get him! Beat him to death! If you kill him, I, Peng Hai, will take responsibility!"
The other security guards exchanged bewildered glances.
Fight? Fight my ass! Let's not even talk about whether we can win or not. Even if we could, do you think we can just attack like that?
Today, not a single person who came to the Dihao Cloud Court Hotel was an ordinary person.
They're just security guards earning a few thousand yuan a month; which one of them could they afford to offend?
Peng Hai is an idiot, but they're not stupid.
Peng Hai didn't notice the expressions of the security guards and the people around him. Perhaps because he was used to being arrogant and domineering, he roared and charged straight at Ling Yi.
Ling Yi frowned, swung his hand to deflect the fist aimed at him, then placed one hand on the fat man's shoulder and pushed down hard.
The terrifying force left the fat man with no chance to react before he was forced to his knees in front of Ling Yi.
Ling Yi shook his head and said, "It's true what they say: shallow waters breed many turtles, and big shells mean you're prone to causing trouble. Someone like you will get a whole pot of turtles in one meal!"
Just then, another voice rang out.
" Ling Yi, you've gone too far!"
As the voice faded, Zheng Feng's tall figure emerged from the doorway!
