Chapter 24: Officially Joins the Villainous Camp
On a dark and windy night, Lin Zheng returned to the city center and lay on his hotel bed without resting. He was waiting... waiting for some kind of sound to arrive.
Until around 9:10.
Finally, a pleasant mechanical sound emerged.
[Successfully changed the ending progress by 1%]
You have gained three skill points.
It worked!
When the system was late in giving out rewards last time, Lin Zheng thought there would be a slight delay.
But in the past two days, he discovered that this was not the case. Instead, the rewards were usually distributed at night, and judging by the timing, it was always after Shen Xi reported to Jiang Huaimeng.
If it happens once or twice, it could be a coincidence, but if it happens every time, it's very unusual.
Especially tonight is no different. It's clear that only if Jiang Huaimeng, the final boss, completely believes the intelligence will the system's rewards be credited to her account smoothly.
In other words, the two weeks of planning had finally succeeded in fooling those two women! They completely believed the fabricated past that he had created himself!
It's really not easy. You have to know that what you're doing only lasts for half a month from beginning to end. That's a huge bug that can't be fixed.
Fortunately, it had the effect of being a lie, and Jiang Huaimeng herself was quite fooled on both occasions.
She was convinced that she had truly fallen in love with him, so whenever there was news that aligned with her desires, the woman would assume that it coincided with her own thoughts.
This can be considered a flaw in human nature.
"Open the properties panel."
The host's current attribute panel is as follows:
[Strength: 1]
【Energy: 5】
[Lying Trait: 1]
Available skill points: 3
Three skill points, but then again, apart from the basic skills that are activated at the beginning, does that mean that adding more points later will only enhance the effects, just like with energy points, and won't create any new effects?
No, since it's called a basic skill, shouldn't there be ordinary skills, advanced skills, and so on later?
Based on the "golden finger" mechanics in other novels, shouldn't it be that accumulating a certain number of skill points will activate a new skill?
Let's give it a try. I won't add any more points yet. I'll save up two more skill points and then get my energy to ten to see if any new skills will be activated.
That way, if something unexpected happens along the way, I can add something else on the spot.
I haven't made enough progress in changing the ending myself. I've only gotten one percent after all this work... I still need to think about how to allocate the time reasonably and speed things up.
As the night passed, the sun rose slowly over Jiangcheng City for the umpteenth time the next day.
Xia Yi, a sturdy woman with bandages wrapped all over her upper body, was getting dressed and washing up in her rented room.
Except for holidays when he comes back with his sister, he lives here alone in order to hide his sister's residence and avoid frequent visits that would be known to others.
Xia Yi shaved her beard with a razor and made a phone call, her tone authoritative: "Tell the brothers to gather at the usual place. I have something important to announce today."
His subordinates responded and busied themselves gathering everyone together.
After hanging up, Xia Yi called Lin Zheng again. As soon as the call connected, he suddenly stopped shaving and his tone became warm and friendly, a complete change from his usual self: "Young Master Lin? Are you up?"
Lin Zheng found the tone strange, and the image of Fan Kuai fawning over Liu Bang flashed before his eyes: "You're up? Where am I supposed to find you and the brothers today?"
"I'll send you the address directly. This is where the brothers often meet. Also, there's something I need to tell Young Master Lin. I've made a decision these past two days. I've decided that Young Master Lin will lead the brothers from now on. I'm giving up my position to Young Master Lin and will be your assistant from now on."
"what?"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Huh? Nothing, just curious why?"
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just what I should do. You even saved my life, shouldn't you let Young Master Lin be the boss?"
Lin Zheng thought to himself on the phone, "Really? Is this Xia Yi's idea? That can't be right. Xia Yi is just a minor leader in the organization, a third-level leader. Does she have the authority to give her position away to someone else so easily?"
It seems highly likely that his wife arranged it, and she didn't intend for him to know.
"Brother Xia Yi, we can talk things over when we meet. I'll come pick you up first."
Soon after, Lin Zheng drove his sports car to pick up Xia Yi and head to the gathering place.
However, because Xia Yi was so big and tall, she looked like a silly goose huddled up in the sports car.
Lin Zheng inexplicably wanted to laugh: "Isn't the car a bit small for you? I should have brought a different car."
Xia Yi fastened her seatbelt in the passenger seat and touched the car body: "Why switch to him? I've never ridden in a sports car before. I want to experience it. It looks really cool. It's good to be rich."
"Xia Yi and her brothers will be here in the future too. Okay, then sit tight, I'll show you what a push-back massage feels like!"
Lin Zheng stepped on the gas, and the cool sound of the engine echoed through the street. The two of them flew off like a gust of wind.
Xia Yi leaned back, feeling extremely excited and pleasantly surprised.
Despite the wind howling, Lin Zheng asked, "Tell me what you're thinking. Are you really planning to make me the eldest brother?"
Xia Yi said happily:
"Yeah, Young Master Lin, actually I never liked being a leader. I know myself too well; besides being a fighter, I don't have any other strengths. Plus, I have to take care of my sister, and all the messy things are giving me a headache all day long!"
He shouted to Lin Zheng, "But Young Master Lin is different. I really think you can lead the brothers to develop better and get rich. I'll just be the second-in-command from now on!"
Lin Zheng had initially thought this guy would come up with some kind of excuse, but the one he gave was extremely simple.
Lin Zheng, who was particularly sharp-witted, was able to detect the other party's basic lies, but when Xia Yi said these words, he found that they were all true.
This person seems to really say what they mean and is very straightforward.
Lin Zheng laughed and said, "Since Brother Xia Yi has put it that way, I won't do that charade anymore. So, I really won't refuse?"
"There's absolutely no need to refuse, Young Master Lin!" Xia Yi was very determined. He was genuinely willing to be the second-in-command who only did the work, which was easy and stress-free. Moreover, he had longed for Lin Zheng's idea before.
An unfinished building construction site in Jiangcheng, where only the building frame remains.
Dozens of Xia Yi's subordinates, all dressed in brightly colored clothes and with hair dyed in various vibrant colors, gathered here.
Of the nearly one hundred people in the group, about half were around the same age as Xia Yi and were considered veteran players, while many others were just young people who had been around the block.
These people gathered together, puffing away on cigarettes, their tattoos peeking out as they moved, discussing whether such a large group was planning something big.
Soon after, Lin Zheng's luxury car stopped in front of them, and everyone looked over and stood up.
Lin Zheng and Xia Yi got out of the car.
Looking at these evil forces in Jiangcheng, even though Lin Zheng was now on the villain's side, it didn't stop him from finding many of them quite ridiculous.
Is this colorful hairstyle an active participation in urban greening?
Lin Zheng and Xia Yi stood together at the front of the crowd, and everyone who saw this unfamiliar young master started talking amongst themselves.
There are all sorts of wild guesses and speculations.
"Who is this rich young master?"
"I don't know, are they new to us?"
.....
Xia Yi spoke:
"Stop arguing! I've gathered everyone here today to introduce someone to you. This gentleman next to me is Lin Zheng, the young master of the Lin Group. He will be your new elder brother in the future."
