Chapter 28: Dai Mubai Faints from Qi, Preparations Before Promotion

【Harvest: +1,000,000 fortune from Dai Mubai】

……

After the prompt appeared, Dai Xiyu smiled and continued, saying: "Besides, I came today to collect the bet."

Saying that, Dai Xiyu looked around and continued:

"Your treasury should be in the back garden, right? I remember you had someone build a basement there."

"But it doesn't matter anyway, it's all mine. Chen Gao, take your people and start moving—everything in this room is to be taken, nothing left."

As his words fell, a youth stepped out from behind Dai Xiyu.

Dai Mubai stared intently, his eyes nearly bursting with rage, wishing he could devour the boy alive.

This Chen Gao is one of Dai Mubai's three lackeys, hailing from the Beng Wolf Marquis Manor, the third son of the Beng Wolf Marquis.

Previously, Chen Gao always followed Dai Mubai's lead.

Now, however, he flatters Dai Xiyu, relying on his influence to help Dai Xiyu move the bet.

Thinking this, Dai Mubai roared: "Chen Gao, you traitor!"

The youth named Chen Gao, however, gave a dismissive smile and said lightly:

"He who knows the times is a hero; I merely turned from darkness to light—what talk of traitor?"

Dai Xiyu laughed heartily:

"Exactly, Chen Gao is not a traitor but a hero. Half of the things moved from this room today will be rewarded to you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Gao's eyes lit up instantly.

Although this is only Dai Mubai's bedroom, not his true treasury.

But it is inside the imperial palace.

Moreover, Dai Mubai is wealthy and fond of luxury, so even the wealth in his bedroom is of considerable value.

The value of this bedroom alone is at least several million gold soul coins.

Just those precious collections are things ordinary people never see in a lifetime.

Although Chen Gao comes from a marquis family, his household is not particularly wealthy.

His father's territory is also the remote Beng Wolf Territory, mostly mountains and hills that produce nothing of value.

This bedroom alone could match ten years of income from the entire Beng Wolf Marquis Manor.

Having received Dai Xiyu's promise, Chen Gao excitedly shouted toward those behind him:

"Come in, move everything you can—the more valuable the items, the greater your reward!"

As his words fell.

Immediately, several sturdy men walked in from outside, ready to start moving things.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai immediately turned, got off the bed, and shouted angrily: "You dare!"

Dai Xiyu raised an eyebrow, smirking as he said:

"How so? Are we, the renowned Third Prince, going to renege on our debt?"

As if thinking of something, Dai Xiyu pulled open his clothing's zipper, revealing a necklace.

With his right hand invoking soul power, he drew a stack of papers from the necklace.

"These are the contracts for all your properties outside the city; I've brought them all. As long as you sign and affix your handprint, the transfer can be completed."

While saying that, Dai Xiyu stepped forward a few paces and placed the thick stack of contracts on Dai Mubai's bed.

At the same time, he said to those outside:

"Li Steward, come in; we still need you to witness this."

Li Steward is the manager of the Star Net Royal Bank and also a notary for important property changes.

Dai Mubai's assets are so numerous that only Li Steward is qualified to serve as witness.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai trembled with anger.

He now deeply regrets having spread that bet, which made everyone aware of it.

Now, even if Dai Mubai wanted to renege, he cannot.

All of his properties have been handed over.

For Dai Mubai, who spends money like water, this is an unbearable blow.

Unfortunately, even regret is useless.

Under the gaze of so many eyes, Dai Mubai, unwilling to have his reputation ruined, can only accept the loss.

Gritting his teeth, Dai Mubai picked up the pen on the bed.

Under Li Steward's supervision, he signed and stamped each contract one by one.

At the same time, Li Steward took out his own seal, adding a layer to indicate the contract amendment is now effective.

After everything was completed, Dai Xiyu glanced through them once more, then stored the contracts inside the necklace.

Afterwards, he removed the necklace and approached Zhu Zhuqing.

He placed this necklace, which had been carefully cleaned, onto Zhu Zhuqing's delicate neck.

"All the wealth harvested this time is kept with you. When we are old enough, I will use this money to hold the most lavish wedding in history for the two of us."

Dai Xiyu's gentle voice reached Zhu Zhuqing's ears.

Instantly, in Zhu Zhuqing's mind, a beautiful scene of the two entering the marriage hall was sketched.

Involuntarily.

After Dai Xiyu fastened the necklace for her, Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and willingly embraced him.

Meanwhile, Dai Mubai beside them, this time his vision went black.

He fell backward onto the bed and fainted from anger.

At the same time, the upper-left corner of Dai Xiyu's field of view refreshed the prompt again.

【Harvest from Zhu Zhuqing's fortune +1,000,000】

【Harvest from Dai Mubai's fortune +2,000,000】

……

Under his deliberate precise strike, Dai Mubai ultimately couldn't hold up.

Dai Xiyu felt somewhat regretful, not expecting Dai Mubai to be so unable to withstand blows.

Originally, he had prepared other programs, wanting to take this opportunity to vigorously farm fortune.

Now it seems, can only be abandoned.

He glanced again at Dai Mubai's head; the fortune above had already dwindled to fourteen million.

Compared to the start, it had almost decreased by one-third.

Seeing Dai Mubai faint, he also didn't want to stay longer.

He had Chen Gao urge the moving of possessions, while Dai Xiyu, accompanied by Zhu Zhuqing, left the Imperial Palace and returned to the Duke's Mansion.

Dai Mubai's money was, to Dai Xiyu, almost optional.

Only fortune was truly useful.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Dai Xiyu, on the pretext of resting, went straight to his own bedroom.

He closed the door, sat on the bed, and opened the fortune store with his thoughts.

【Fortune balance: 4932332】

【This month's listed goods are as follows (updated in 7 days)】

【Hundred-year soul ring: 1000 fortune】

【Five-hundred-year soul ring: 6000 fortune】

【Thousand-year soul ring: 10000 fortune】

【God-bestowed soul ring: 1000000 fortune】

【Ten-thousand-year right arm soul bone: 200000 fortune】

【Soul power (level 1): 400000 fortune】

【Free attribute points: 250000 fortune】

【Third martial soul (random): 5000000 fortune】

【A bag of gold soul coins (1000): 1000 fortune】

……

Originally, Dai Xiyu was still thinking that after the store updates, he would farm a ten-thousand-year soul ring before advancing.

However, his fortune had now reached nearly five million, so even a god-bestowed soul ring was affordable.

Thus, Dai Xiyu made a decision.

He directly first purchased level-1 soul power, raising his own soul power to level thirty.

Afterwards, he bought a god-bestowed soul ring.

【Successfully purchased soul power (level 1), fortune -400000】

【After successfully buying the god-bestowed soul ring, fortune -1000000】

Thus, fortune remaining was three million five hundred thousand.

After doing all this, Dai Xiyu began to ponder secretly.

"His current physique, while considerably stronger than many adults, is ultimately not very stable..."
