I’ll give you half,” Jiang Ning concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Giggle giggle giggle.” Xue Yuantong was ecstatic. Five hundred yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After collecting the bonus, the staff asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Want to keep playing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong quickly pulled Jiang Ning away. She wasn’t interested in playing anymore; winning once was already incredibly lucky, and she wasn’t going to get greedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Ning, I’m treating today,” Xue Yuantong patted her purse, showing off her newfound wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can eat anything you want on this street!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure, sure,” Jiang Ning happily agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end of the pedestrian street,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng, Wang Longlong, and Meng Gui gathered to play the ring toss game, Meng Gui eyeing a racing car and urging them to help him win it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Yu hadn’t eaten lunch and was desperately hungry. With fifty yuan funded by Meng Gui, he scouted the food street for something to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Gui had given him fifty yuan, but he could only spend ten because Meng Gui had no smaller bills on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Cui Yu spotted a tricycle, modified with a stall set up on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It displayed a tall, brightly colored cake that looked absolutely delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sign next to it read ‘Osmanthus Chestnut Cake.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Yu thought it sounded good and looked great; it must taste fantastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He approached the vendor, “Boss, how much for this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One tael for two yuan,” the middle-aged vendor, around fifty, in tattered clothing and of average build, said, his gaze flickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two yuan per tael, it sounded reasonable… The cake looked filling, and Cui Yu felt good about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cut me two taels,” Cui Yu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor hesitated, “It’s hard to cut just like that. How about this, you point where to cut, and I’ll do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Yu asked, “Why is it hard to cut?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It just is. You point, I’ll cut however much you want,” the vendor said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay then,” Cui Yu didn’t sense any trick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at the cake, “Cut from here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, the vendor’s knife came down swiftly, cutting a long slice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s too much, too much,” said Cui Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor bagged the cake and deftly placed it on a digital scale:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not too much, that’s 48 yuan total.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Yu was stunned and immediately protested, “I didn’t ask for that much! Besides, that’s way too expensive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, you want to go back on your word?” the vendor asked sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resolute, Cui Yu retorted, “You’re being unfair. Yes, I changed my mind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the vendor gripped the cake knife, slammed it on the cutting board, and shouted fiercely,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trying to dine and dash, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humiliated, Cui Yu handed over 48 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a heart full of indignation, he left the tricycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>48 yuan—his meal budget for two or three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his way to find Meng Gui, Cui Yu resentfully bit into the so-called osmanthus chestnut cake. He couldn’t stand it after one bite; never had he tasted such an awful cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Yu found Meng Gui and Ma Shicheng, and said distressingly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Ma.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong, Cui Yu?” Ma Shicheng could tell something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Gui and Wang Longlong came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Yu recounted everything that had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longlong blurted out, “Damn, isn’t this a cake-cutting scam?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They scammed my brother!” Meng Gui raged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do we do?” Cui Yu said, unable to swallow his pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wreck him!” Wang Longlong exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng nodded, “This guy is too arrogant. We have to take him down, but we need a good plan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go over what happened again, and describe that boss in detail.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discussing, they decided that Ma Shicheng and Meng Gui would confront him, while Cui Yu, having made an impression on the vendor, would stay back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Wang Longlong, although Ma Shicheng wanted him involved, he needed to stay out of sight; otherwise, if the vendor saw three of them, he might get spooked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longlong took Cui Yu’s osmanthus chestnut cake and pocketed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng and Meng Gui casually strolled up to the vendor’s stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, how much is this?” Ma Shicheng inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having just scammed 48 yuan, the vendor was in a good mood, “Two yuan per tael.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll take three taels,” Ma Shicheng declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor again looked troubled, “It’s hard to weigh. Why don’t you point where you want me to cut?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Meng Gui took a deep breath to calm himself, noticing that Ma Shicheng wasn’t the least bit nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, cut from here,” Ma Shicheng decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor’s knife came down, cutting off a large piece and placing it on the digital scale:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s 52 yuan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng was shocked, “That’s too expensive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re cheating people!” Meng Gui accused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor’s expression changed, becoming fiercer as he reached for his knife, booming,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you buying or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed a cake-scammer, genuinely intimidating when angered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a hand reached from behind him and snatched the cake-cutting knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor felt around, “Damn, where’s my knife?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he spoke, a hand reached from behind and slapped a golden slice of cake onto his face, blinding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng shouted with authority, “Take him down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all his strength, Meng Gui kicked the big cake over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sinful cake rolled onto the cement floor, collecting dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng grabbed Meng Gui and they bolted away.\u003C\u002Fp>",919,"2026-05-30T14:39:42.568Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","49391ca03c3701c2419a82839f4b09bb7d1b20b8a6ae390ec7f05fe176adc81f","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-280","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-278",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
