Tianjing City south second loop, Nanjing Building seventh floor, Mingxin Network.

?Brother, you have to help me this time!? A dejected Liu Mingcheng sat on the sofa, dejectedly saying, ?My Turkey Bookstore?s site traffic has dropped by more than half in just a month or so, and it?s still dropping. Can you help me tell Dad to give me some more resources? Otherwise, Turkey Bookstore will be done for!?

Liu Mingcheng?s Turkey Bookstore originally had daily site traffic of 1.2 million, and it was practically the tycoon of the online literature industry. But who could have expected that its site traffic would drop to such an extent in just a month?

Actually, speaking of this, it was because Hong Dali?s lucky was really good.

If it were in his previous life, the online literature industry had already stabilized. Even if there were changes to it, it wouldn?t be as much as in this world. Here, the online literature industry had yet to form an industry chain, and the main source of income was from the readers? orders. The other copyrights weren?t being utilized to the fullest yet.

Therefore, the high payout in Zhong Dian website easily attracted a lot of authors. Coupled with the new and interesting story formats of the five Great Gods and the 20 plus God-level nouveau riche who threw a lot of money to the authors, numerous authors were attracted there.

Therefore, Turkey Bookstore ended up in a tragedy.

Actually, no one could blame Liu Mingcheng. It was just unfortunate that he was facing up against history?s greatest prodigal, Hong Dali. If it weren?t Hong Dali but someone else, they wouldn?t have such a pure mind as his, to just squander for the sake of squandering.

?So be it.? Liu Mingxin plainly said. ?You opponent is a superprodigal, he never expected to earn money in the first place. If you had increased the authors? payout from the beginning, things might be different. But now that they have already succeeded, it?s too late to try to win them. In other words.? Liu Mingxin slowly shook his head. ?Unless you can squander like him and purely squander to lose money, only then will you have a chance of winning.?

?Purely to lose money?? Liu Mingcheng went frantic. ?Then, I might as well just close my online bookstore!?

?That?s why I said that.? Liu Mingxin was also helpless. In reality, whoever had to face such an opponent as Hong Dali would also be depressed. ?You can?t view Hong Dali as a normal competitor. He never considers the consequences when he squanders, but only squanders as long as he is happy. You have seen for yourself the result.? Liu Mingxin helplessly shrugged. ?The fool has the fool?s luck. His luck is so good, what can I do?? ? You?re reading on B oxnovel.c om .Tks!

?Then, then what should I do?!? Hearing his brother?s words, Liu Mingcheng frantically said, ?Then, I have to see my Turkey Bookstore close down because of him and do nothing? If that happens, I?m not the only one who will lose face, but the entire Liu family!?

?I know that.? Liu Mingxin sighed. ?There will definitely be a battle between his family and ours. During this special period, I think that there is a method that will benefit you.?

?What method?!? Hearing his always brilliant brother say that he had a plan to help him, Liu Mingcheng instantly felt a sense of hope.

After all, although they were biological brothers, his talent in entrepreneurship was incomparable to his brother?s. Although Liu Mingcheng?s own talent was limited, he had quite a lot of faith in his brother.

?The best method is for you to do nothing and just let Turkey Bookstore collapse.? Liu Mingxin smiled and said.

?Brother, are you serious? Do you mean that Turkey Bookstore closing down is the best method? I don?t understand!? Liu Mingcheng asked.

?Of course, you don?t understand.? Liu Mingxin explained. ?The most important aspect of Turkey Bookstore is that it belongs to our Liu Family. So, if Turkey Bookstore collapses, what do you think the Hong Family will think??

?Hong Family?? Liu Mingcheng murmured. ?What they will think? Wouldn?t they just think that we lost to Hong Dali… Ah, wait, brother, what you mean is that we shall purposely let our opponent think that we are weak??

?Hehe, it looks like you are actually quite smart. You understood with just a hint.? Liu Mingxin smiled and said, ?I heard that Dad will be making a few moves soon. If you bluff them into thinking we are weak and become less cautious, once Dad succeeds, you will have credit too. Whatever the case, you wouldn?t miss out on the rewards.?

?Ah, I see.? Hearing this, Liu Mingcheng was finally happier. ?If this is the case, fine. I shall not care about Turkey Bookstore anymore and leave it to fend for itself. But brother, once Turkey Bookstore collapses, I won?t have any pocket money…?

Liu Mingxin knew from the start that his brother came here to ask for money. He gave a slight smile and said, ?We?re brothers, how could I not know what you are thinking.? Saying so, he picked a card and passed it to him. ?There?s five million inside, remember to spend it sparingly. My current capital flow is quite tight, too. Remember, don?t cause any trouble for Dad. He is very busy lately.?

?I got it, I got it!? Getting five million so easily caused Liu Mingcheng?s mood to turn for the better. He put the card in his pocket, smiled and said, ?Then, I shall be going back first. I shall not disturb you anymore, hehe.?

?OK, be careful on the road.?

After Liu Mingcheng had left, Liu Mingxin slight shook his head and murmured, ?Dad drew away 200 million from my side?s capital, it looks like his big move will be in one or two months time. Hopefully, everything goes well.?

Thinking up to this point, he suddenly thought about Hong Dali?s cheeky face and helplessly said, ?This…? He thought for a while. ?The most depressing think about him is that he seems to want to put a foot in every industry, yet he doesn?t fully commit to any of them. Because of this, even if someone wants to set a trap for him, they have no way of doing it. HehE, facing such an opponent is quite interesting, though.?

Actually, when Hong Dali started with his Zhong Dian website, Liu Mingxin had already known about it.

The problem was that, at that time, Hong Dali really wasn?t doing it to fight against Liu Mingcheng, he did it just because he wanted to squander. Then, the most frustrating thing about this fellow was that he actually defeated Liu Mingcheng in such a short time. It was so fast that no one was able to react to it.

?This is really not easy.? Liu Mingxin sighed. ?If we leave him alone, I?m afraid he will become a big problem for us in the future. But even if we want to do something to stop him, there?s no way of doing it because no one can guess what he will be doing next. This is really causing us a headache.?

…

Actually, not only was Liu Mingxin depressed over Hong Dali, Tang Muxin expressed that she was depressed too.

Although she followed Hong Dali around every day, she could never have expected that he would actually do something like an E-Sports competitions.

In this world, sports were the real source of entertainment that people sought for. As for music and movies, that was something people would do in their free time. But as for gaming, that was totally under the category of wasting time. Those people who normally spent their time in Internet cafes were all disliked by others. They were practically a grade below other people. If not, a gaming talent like Lin Zixuan wouldn?t have been forced to the extent of running away from home just to play games.

Under this kind of environment, doing this E-Sports competition… would it actually work?

While Tang Muxin?s thoughts were flying around randomly, Hong Dali was so tired that he hugged Quentin and lay on her thighs.

This instantly caused Tang Muxin?s whole face to turn red. She wanted to push him away but was also unwilling to do it. But if she didn?t push him away… The thighs were quite a sensitive location. Now that Hong Dali was using them as a pillow, Tang Muxin?s heart fluttered madly, and her whole body seemed to sweat.

Just as she was in a dilemma, the door to the women?s bath was suddenly lightly pushed open. Tang Muxin?s eyes lit-up. She saw a beautiful young lady walk out. The lady seemed to be a bit timid, but that couldn?t conceal her beautiful face. Her long black hair hung to her shoulders, and she wore a white dress that came from God knows where. A golden hairband was tied simply at the top of her head, reflecting off the white dress, causing her whole being to seemingly emit light.

Tang Muxin was dazed upon seeing this fairylike girl who seemed to have descended from the Heavens.

When the girl slowly got closer, Tang Muxin saw that she was only about 13 to 14 years old, and her skin was snow-white and delicate as a flower. She looked so beautiful that one almost couldn?t bear to look at her.

Tang Muxin was a beauty herself, but upon seeing this girl, she actually felt like she was in a dream. Tang Muxin immediately rubbed her eyes vigorously.

When she saw the two female lackeys following behind her, Tang Muxin was finally sure that this fairylike girl was actually Lin Zixuan.

Tang Muxin violently shook Hong Dali awake. ?Dali, Dali, quick, wake up to see the fairy!?

Unexpectedly, Hong Dali flipped over to the other side in discontent and continued to sleep. His saliva almost dropped out from the corner of his mouth as he mumbled, ?How would there be a fairy in broad daylight. It?s much more probable for me to see one in my dreams. Don?t mess around, let me sleep some more…?

?Hurry up and wake up!? Seeing that Hong Dali was going to continue sleeping, Tang Muxin grabbed his face and pinched it. ?The fairy is already in front of you, and you still don?t want to wake up. If you miss this chance to see her, you will definitely regret it!?

?AH!!!? Hong Dali sat up, his face full of unwillingness. He rubbed his eyes and said, ?What fairy are you talking about…?

Then, he saw Lin Zixuan already standing in front of him and blushing from shyness.

?What…? Hong Dali wiped away the saliva that drooled out and asked. ?Who are you??

A laugh escaped from her mouth as Lin Zixuan said, ?Big Brother, you don?t recognize me anymore?? Upon hearing her voice and seeing Lin Zixuan?s faint features in her, he almost couldn?t believe his eyes. After all, no one could imagine that a beggar with tattered clothes and full of dirt would transform into a fairylike girl. He thought for a while and said something that almost made everyone around collapse. ?Are you the reinforcement sent here by the Jade Emperor??

?I?m really going to die of anger because of you!? Tang Muxin was so angry that she stepped on Hong Dali?s foot, causing him to bare his teeth in pain. Tang Muxin said, ?This is Lin Zixuan, the little beggar you picked up beside the road!?

?Oh, so it?s Zixuan…? Hong Dali wanted to go back to sleep after saying this, but he immediately came into his senses. ?You?re Lin Zixuan?!? He scanned her up and down, then decisively shook his head. ?My Lin Zixuan couldn?t possibly be so pretty! Monster, show yourself!?

Everyone: ?…?

Tang Muxin hated how she couldn?t throw him out of the window. She angrily stood up, grabbed Lin Zixuan and left. ?Sister Zixuan, let?s ignore this big idiot! Let him continue to dream there!?

?She really is Lin Zixuan?? Hong Dali violently pinched his thigh and sucked in a deep breath of cold air from the pain. ?Painful! This isn?t a dream!?
