Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 474: Gift of Gratitude

In the midst of these pleasant thoughts, Jiang Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, recalling how Yang Hongye often criticized him for not knowing how to smooth things over with people.

He quickly adapted and added, "Although we’ve exchanged contacts and phone numbers, I’m usually busy and may not have ti to respond or answer calls. If there’s sothing urgent, you can contact Chuci. He knows where I live and also has a key to my place."

Sure enough, by making a slight distinction in closeness, Chuci was pleased and laughed, "See, I told you, he’s like my brother from another mother!

He’s incredibly capable, beyond what you can imagine. Once you’re familiar, you’ll see how impressive my brother is."

"Oh man! Just eting and taking a glance can already reveal what will happen, that’s amazing enough! By your account, does Yuan have even more extraordinary skills?"

"Don’t ntion it, my aunt went through so much trouble to connect with so so-called master, and he did indeed have real skills. However, during the calculation process, he both asked for birth details and examined hands and appearances—such a hassle, taking quite a while to figure things out. I don’t an to disparage, but Yuan here doesn’t need to ask anything and can just figure it out; that’s really impressive!"

"Brother Yuan, could you do a reading for ? See if I have any good fortune or disasters coming my way?"

......

The stark example right in front of him made Cheng Hao unable to not play along rather than beco a stooge, and Jiang Yuan’s reputation as a mystic master surged.

The problem was that he really couldn’t tell fortunes!

Faced with all-around enthusiastic consultations, Jiang Yuan could only find an excuse, "Actually, I don’t do palmistry or eight-character calculations. It’s mainly for so special reasons that I only see major future events where there’s a turning point.

Earlier, I ntioned going with the flow; if any of you have a crucial mont that can change your fate, I can see it and give a heads up. If there’s no reminder, it ans everything is smooth sailing, no worries."

"Brother Yuan, when are you free to co over for a simple al?" Zhang Mingchen, the quick-witted one, sincerely invited, "Our whole family would be at your service anyti!"

Cheng Hao also responded imdiately, "Yes, yes, a great favor must be repaid. Anyti you can co over for a al!"

Since he clearly ntioned no fortune-telling, inviting him over to the house ant gathering parents, relatives, and friends—both lively and convenient to see if there’s anything he might point out.

Jiang Yuan wasn’t adept at handling such social enthusiasm, so Chuci thoughtfully shouldered the responsibility. After considering everyone’s opinion, they decided to hold a gathering.

After all, as business partners, they occasionally arrange dinners to gather and have a drink while discussing cooperation—just the opportunity to formally introduce the mystic master to the power circles, thus benefiting both sides.

With serious matters discussed, the true nightlife began.

Girls with cat ears, fox ears, and various tails joined in, the flashing neon lights and revelry paired with karaoke created a buzzing atmosphere.

Chuci and Jiang Yuan were still the ones who got on well, either drinking a bit, eating fruit, or snacking on seeds while occasionally shouting along if in the mood.

The forr was accustod to wild, daring gas and found them quite unsanitary; the latter had no interest in artificial, flirtatious girls acting cutesy.

The fox-eared ladies had the real-deal Hu Zhile with endless charm and the adorably silly Hu Jiu girl;

Who could beat the stunningly beautiful and aloof bride-uniford Tang Qin?

Not to ntion the sweet-voiced, graceful marionette Yun Shu and the exotic rmaid, the girls from the Wilderness were vividly and genuinely beautiful;

In the real world, there was at least a roommate and longstanding friend, and partner, Yang Hongye, whose personality was fiercely straightforward—any were better by far than the assembly-line products intertwined with who knows how many n.

Instead of watching them, he might as well look at the packaging proposal Yang Hongye worked overti to finish; sending out this batch of Sleeping Incense would soon open up a whole new market.

As they indulged until nearly midnight, while others were off engaging in what they wished with companions, Chuci took Jiang Yuan for a high-end bathing experience at the "Dragon Palace."

It must be said that the rich do indeed enjoy exceptional experiences. After soaking, there were massages and beauty treatnts. Watching movies and playing gas, even the nails were ticulously cared for.

Feeling completely refreshed the next morning, every fiber from head to toe revitalized, there wasn’t a hint of hangover to be seen in front of the mirror!

Even the clothes, shoes, and socks were washed, dried overnight, and waiting. After breakfast and calling for the driver, he found the car parked in the lot cleaned as well.

The service was indeed impeccable!

In high spirits and with leisure ti, Jiang Yuan thought about it and ssaged the two old n, inviting them to go fishing.

With his skills enhancing the experience, he could appear wherever and earn the envy of an entire air force of fishern, making the two old n enjoy and listen to their past stories was also quite interesting.

In the evening, when Chuci ca to ask him to the bar, he also brought over a thoughtful thank-you gift prepared by Cheng Hao.

The red envelope contained cash of 188,888, signifying a modest gesture of gratitude according to the typical fees for hiring a master in their circle;

A VIP black card from the "Chenghejian" five-star hotel, part of Cheng Hao’s family enterprise, allowing free stays in presidential suites in any city with a "Chenghejian" using the card;

A finely crafted nephrite jade ornant, a Rolex Green Water Ghost; a box of tea with understated luxury packaging, and two bottles of obviously valuable liquor.

"These assorted things are just because Cheng Hao wasn’t sure what you’d actually like, but these unlikely to go wrong.

Yesterday, you were amazing; if he hadn’t believed and attended, it would’ve been catastrophic!" Flipping through the items in the box, Chuci asked, "Bro, honestly, which of these do you like the most?"

Jiang Yuan glanced around and laughed, "They’re all about the sa to ; I don’t really have conceptions about brands—they do look quite nice, though."

He casually tried on the Green Water Ghost on his wrist, and indeed, these embellishnts did add a dazzle.

"That’s true, they’re all things you can buy with money. I’ll get you so unique things money can’t buy another day. But for now, let’s hit the bar!" Chuci, still thinking about the dicinal Incense and Protective Talisman, wanted to trade so rare finds for another talisman.

Chen Likai’s Blue Diamond Bar was located on a street full of bars where young people flock. As night fell and neon lights flickered, young people with distinctive outfits wandered in pairs or groups.

"Hey, handso!" As Chuci’s black rcedes-Benz G-Class had just parked by the roadside, a scantily dressed rebellious girl approached to flirt, then was quickly glared away by the approaching bar manager.

"In places like this, if you don’t want to ss around, don’t engage with anyone. Whether male or female, don’t get too close to strangers;

Even with acquaintances, stay cautious. Don’t drink any liquids out of your sight or smoke anything handed to you by others, or you might find yourself in big trouble with sothing added."

Chuci didn’t actually enjoy places like this bar and club scene; under the lights, monsters and goblins turned into beautiful n and won, the crazy music stimulated his nerves, and there were those who took advantage of the chaos, touching and kissing wherever—it was irritating not knowing who was clean or sick.

He much preferred lounging in a quiet bar, having a few drinks with a couple of close friends, listening to music to relax.

Moreover, Chen Likai’s Blue Diamond Bar was renowned, and Chuci had preemptively briefed him on details, even called in two bodyguards and also contacted his cousin Wei Haoyu to bolster the event.

Haoyu was a full-ti night scene mixer; any renowned spot on the bar street would give him so respect to avoid sightless troublemakers.
