Chapter 155: Playing Tricks
Lin Lang finally understood!
Zhang Dabing, who had always welcomed outsiders with open arms!
Why he had specifically turned these people away—
It turned out these guys were here to take advantage!
You see! Even the residents of Happiness Residential Complex, who worked themselves to the bone every day, could barely scrape together enough supplies to survive!
And these people from the Low-Rent Residential Area, with empty pockets, came over!
Blinking their eyes!
Opening their mouths wide! They demanded a hundred boxes of purified water, a hundred boxes of instant noodles, meat, fruits, and whatnot…
And the unit was even in boxes?!
Boxes, my ass!
Lin Lang was so angry he almost laughed!
He figured! It was probably because they mentioned his name.
Zhang Dabing had given him face! Otherwise, they would have been beaten to a pulp!...
"Benefactor, is this amount okay with you?"
They bowed and scraped before Lin Lang.
But their eyes and tone were aggressive: "Actually, before we came, we checked out the situation at Happiness Residential Complex!"
"You definitely don't lack supplies here!"
"What we're asking for is just a drop in the bucket for you! Right?"
Lin Lang slightly lowered his gaze and calmly asked, "You came with so few people? You probably can't carry all this, can you?"
A 500ml bottle of purified water weighs about 1 pound! A box of 24 bottles would be 24 pounds! A hundred boxes would be a whopping 2,400 pounds! Not to mention the hundred boxes of instant noodles, meat, fruits, and so on! Thousands of pounds of stuff.
With just these few people, they'd be exhausted before they could move it all!
But upon hearing this!
Their eyes lit up, and they babbled excitedly:
"Oh my god! You agreed! No problem! We'll call more people right away!"
With that!
One of them hurried off to make a phone call:
"Call more people! He agreed to give it!"
"The exact amount! Hahaha!"
"Can you believe it? He didn't even haggle! Hahaha!"
"Yeah! Damn it! We should've asked for more! But it's fine, we'll come back next time! It's not far anyway…"
…
The guy was so excited he even forgot to lower his voice.
Though.
It didn't matter.
With Lin Lang's heightened senses, even without using his Divine Sense, not a single movement within a hundred miles could escape his ears.
…
Meanwhile, the few who stayed with Lin Lang continued to fawn and probe: "Benefactor!"
"Actually, the numbers we just gave are already extremely low!"
"Yeah!"
"Look! We can't just drink water and eat instant noodles! Meat and fruits are basic necessities! You see, could you also spare some seafood? Let us improve our meals a bit!"
"And!"
"You know, there are a lot of smokers in our area! So, could you also throw in some cigarettes?"
"Benefactor! Since you're giving cigarettes, why not some alcohol too? We can have a few drinks in our spare time!"
"Yeah! Hahaha!"
…
They went back and forth.
Like a comedy skit.
Completely oblivious to the growing darkness in Lin Lang's eyes—
These people! Calling him "Benefactor" with every breath.
But in reality, they were treating him like a fool! They weren't here to take advantage.
Is this some kind of wish-making session?...
Lin Lang stopped speaking.
He let them indulge in the daydreams they had woven for themselves!...
Not long after!
From a distance, a dense crowd of people came running over!
It was the people from the Low-Rent Residential Area coming to move the supplies!
They even pushed a large flatbed cart—
It was just a wooden plank with two big wheels attached underneath.
"Where are the supplies?"
At that moment.
A sloppy man walked over.
But he didn't even greet Lin Lang.
He immediately urged:
"Hurry up and load the cart, my card game isn't over yet!"
The few people from earlier then said to Lin Lang, "Benefactor, it's getting late, let's quickly load the supplies and leave, so we don't disturb your rest!"
But Lin Lang calmly raised his eyes.
He glanced at the sloppy man.
And then said, "You, coming to pay respects to me, your great benefactor, but you don't even greet me?"
Hearing this!
Everyone's expressions changed! The man was stunned! He hadn't expected Lin Lang to suddenly call him out! He instinctively looked around.
But he saw everyone with serious expressions, winking and signaling at him! He immediately understood! He hurriedly bowed to Lin Lang: "Benefactor! Benefactor! I was so busy earlier that I forgot to greet you! May you live forever!!!"
"Hmm."
Lin Lang responded indifferently.
Seeing this!
They thought the matter was over.
They immediately called out:
"Benefactor..."
But Lin Lang coldly interrupted them, "It's indeed getting late today. To not delay your card game, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
After saying this.
Amidst the chaotic and bewildered looks of the crowd.
He stepped through the gate.
And walked into the residential complex.
...
"Huh?!"
"Isn't this wrong?"
Not a single mistake, not a single word, not a single detail—everything was in the 69 Book Bar!
They were stunned for a moment before they reacted and hurriedly followed!
"Benefactor! Benefactor! We can wait!"
But Lin Lang had already walked far away.
One person got anxious and prepared to climb the gate to chase after him! But at that moment.
Zhang Dabing's figure, like a ghost, suddenly appeared at the entrance.
He stubbornly said, "Happiness Residential Complex, trespassers will die."
...
There was no other way.
That person could only retreat, covered in dust.
Then.
The fiery gazes of everyone fell on the sloppy man—
Damn it! The cooked duck actually flew away?! So many supplies! Enough for their residential complex to squander for a long time!
But now! Because of this bastard's words, it was all lost! Beating him to death wouldn't be unjust!
Sensing the hostile gazes, the sloppy man was on the verge of tears:
"No! I really forgot! My card game was urgent, I even bet my wife..."
"Forget your ass!"
"Damn you!"
"Beat this bastard to death!"
A large group of people rushed forward!
They beat the sloppy man mercilessly until he was bleeding and on the verge of death!
"Spit!"
People spat on him! "It's only because there's still a chance tomorrow, otherwise we'd beat you to death!"
"You'll kneel here all night!"
"Shout 'Benefactor, I was wrong' all night, and when the Benefactor's anger subsides and he's willing to give us the supplies, then you can get up!"
"All night?" The sloppy man trembled, "But there are Ferocious Beasts out at night, that's just asking for me to die!"
Those people said:
"You useless piece of trash! You'd die for nothing!"
"If you dare go back today, we'll beat you to death!"
"You're good for nothing but causing trouble!"
They cursed and grumbled as they headed back to the Low-Rent Residential Area.
Once they were far enough away, they couldn't help but complain about Lin Lang: "And that guy, who does he think he is? Some kind of savior or something?"
"Exactly! Just because we forgot to greet him, he went ahead and withheld our supplies!"
"Are our lives really worth less than his pride?!"
"Times have really gone downhill!"
"Forget it, forget it! We'll come back tomorrow! Hopefully, that 'great lord' will have calmed down by then!"
"Whether it's the apocalypse or not, these bastards are always so hard to deal with!"
…
Only the scruffy man remained.
Trembling, he knelt at the entrance of Happiness Residential Complex.
His terrified eyes darted around:
"Please, heavens, don't let any Ferocious Beasts appear…"
But he didn't dare sneak back either!
Because if he did, those people would really kill him!
After some thought, he began to shout:
"Savior! I was wrong!"
…
As the night grew deeper.
In Happiness Residential Complex.
Building C, Unit 1, Room 2102. In the small bedroom.
On the bed.
Lin Lang lay leisurely in Gu Fei's arms.
Gu Fei peeled a few crystal-clear grapes from the fruit bowl on the bedside table and fed them to him.
After hearing Lin Lang recount what had just happened at the entrance, Gu Fei couldn't help but laugh: "You never intended to give them the supplies from the start, did you? You were just messing with them, weren't you?"
Lin Lang replied calmly, "Didn't they mess with me first?"
