About an hour later, Lin Chu arrived at the location Liu Junfeng had sent him. The place was truly remote, almost outside Peng City.
A large sign, 0755 Club, hung on the wire mesh gate.
0755 is the area code for Peng City.
Through the mesh, he could already see more than ten sports cars parked inside, an extremely eye-catching sight.
The area inside was surprisingly large, like a professional racetrack.
Even the taxi driver was shocked.
He never expected a place like this existed in Peng City. It was his first time ever coming here.
Lin Chu lifted a case of Maotai from the trunk and called out to a nearby security guard, "Hey, come give me a hand."
The security guard was also slightly taken aback.
'What the hell?'
'I've been a guard here for two years, and this is the first time I've ever seen someone show up in a taxi.'
'Absolutely no class.'
However, when he saw the case of liquor, he figured it was a delivery for the boss. He walked over and picked it up. After paying the fare, Lin Chu headed inside with the guard.
The building was a converted industrial factory with a post-apocalyptic vibe, but it was lavishly decorated. On the concrete ground out front, a group of men and women were gathered around drinking while a chef roasted a lamb nearby.
"Brother Feng... it's lively here."
Lin Chu called out with a smile, greeting everyone there.
Liu Junfeng immediately stood up to greet him. When he saw the liquor the guard was carrying, he laughed and clapped Lin Chu on the shoulder. "You shouldn't have! Damn, you really know how to do things right."
"Come on, sit down."
"Let me introduce everyone. This is Lin Chu, a good brother I just met recently. He just got off a plane, so he's not really late."
The whole group laughed and welcomed him.
Just then, the virtual panel appeared before Lin Chu's eyes: [Spent 120,000 yuan for friend Liu Junfeng. Received a rebate of 240,000 yuan.]
A case of this liquor had six bottles. A regular one was just over three thousand yuan, but what he'd bought was the twenty-year vintage, at twenty thousand a bottle.
"Holy shit!"
"Twenty-year-old Maotai!"
"You're so fucking rich!"
Liu Junfeng, who had already opened the case, couldn't help but shout.
'I've had this stuff before, but it's definitely not for everyday drinking. How much does it cost to be so extravagant?'
Lin Chu waved his hand and smiled. "Go on, open them. No matter how expensive it is, isn't it meant to be drunk?"
His gaze swept across the crowd.
Lu Ming was there.
Xiaolu was there too.
Liao Zhibin was there.
'His girlfriend from last time wasn't here. He'd swapped her for a new one.'
Tangtang was there too.
She was holding a man's arm, greeting Lin Chu with a smile as if it was nothing.
'I don't know the rest of them. They're probably from his club's social circle.'
It was quite surprising to see Tangtang and her boyfriend here, but Lin Chu didn't feel awkward at all.
'Once the pants are on, who even knows who you are?'
'Just have fun with it.'
Lin Chu sat down next to Lu Ming.
"Where'd you go? It's been almost a week. Where's the big boss been off making a fortune?"
"I was even thinking of checking out your gym, but you said you weren't in Peng City,"
Lu Ming said with a laugh.
Lin Chu opened a beer, took two big gulps, and then said, "Went to Ye City. A dumbass childhood friend of mine ended up in the ICU, so I went to pay his medical bills."
Lu Ming: ...
"You're a fucking stand-up guy."
Lin Chu just smiled and waved his hand. "It wasn't much money. He was in that state, I couldn't just not go see him, right?"
Liu Junfeng chimed in with a grin, "Is his wife hot?"
The old pro has logged on.
Lin Chu cursed back with a laugh, "He's a single dog, where would he get a wife?"
'Sometimes, I think this group of guys are just a bad influence. You could tell just from the "Thief Cao's Group" chat. It's so degenerate. People are always sharing stories about bagging some young married woman or something.'
'But on second thought, I'm obviously no saint myself.'
'Might as well just go with the flow.'
'The pot shouldn't call the kettle black. We're all the same.'
'That, uh...'
'My only sworn enemies are gambling and drugs!'
Liu Junfeng quickly opened all the liquor Lin Chu had brought and passed it out. "I'm keeping one bottle for myself! We're finishing the rest today!"
He was met with a sea of middle fingers.
Damn, he's even stashing one for himself?
Bastard!
...
The party quickly got started.
Drinking, eating meat, telling dirty jokes, spreading gossip, and cracking all kinds of wild jokes.
'You could tell this whole crowd came from money. Can't say for sure how much, but they were definitely worth eight or nine figures.'
'Their daily lives were all about eating, drinking, and having fun—traveling, chasing girls, and hitting on guys.'
'The girls here weren't all just arm candy brought by the guys. A few were genuine "beauties" who were definitely from rich families themselves.'
'Since I'd come in such a hurry, I was standing here all by myself.'
'But I just finished a week of non-stop "labor," day and night. My restless hormones hadn't had time to regenerate, so I didn't make any moves.'
'Better take it easy. Even the armory needs a cooldown period.'
「In the blink of an eye.」
The party was now in full swing.
At some point, Liu Junfeng started a livestream, probably to promote his club.
He definitely couldn't film the people, so he called over a beautiful woman to strike all sorts of poses next to the fleet of sports cars.
The crowd laughed at him.
But it was understandable.
As the organizer of the club, he definitely needed to recruit new blood.
Lin Chu's phone suddenly DINGED. He saw a new message from Tangtang: "I want to go to the bathroom with you... I want to..."
Lin Chu: ?
He glanced over. She was still holding her boyfriend's arm, beaming.
'She really fucking... knows how to play around.'
Lin Chu was speechless.
Her boyfriend's status in this circle clearly wasn't very high. He spoke to everyone with a strained politeness, a false courtesy. Lin Chu recalled Liu Junfeng saying the guy worked in finance, and it all clicked. He was probably here to make some connections and see if he could drum up some business.
"Everyone, share my livestream!"
"I posted it in the group chat!"
"Chop chop!"
"Damn, the viewer count is too low. This totally kills my rep."
Liu Junfeng shouted in their direction, once again receiving a bunch of middle fingers.
In this circle, Liu Junfeng was the organizer, partly a big brother figure, and also played the roles of class clown and old pro.
It was all for the sake of making money.
Lin Chu thought for a moment, then clicked into his livestream. The title was "Rebirth: Brother Feng's Eating, Drinking, and Playing in Peng City."
'What a derpy name.'
He didn't have many followers, just a little over twenty thousand.
Current viewers: seven.
'Truly pathetic.'
Lin Chu thought for a moment, topped up his account with 300,000 yuan, and then sent it all as gifts in one go.
[Lin Chu has sent the streamer Carnival x100.]
'A Carnival costs three thousand each. One hundred of them is exactly three hundred thousand.'
The virtual panel before him quickly showed the rebate: double, 600,000 yuan.
The next second.
Liu Junfeng went crazy.
"Holy shit! Shit! Brother Chu!"
"Holy fuck!"
"A hundred Carnivals!"
"I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy! Big daddy, Brother Chu, you're really my big daddy!"
He shouted incoherently, and after seeing the screen full of Carnivals, he ran toward Lin Chu and grabbed his head to kiss it.
Lin Chu quickly pushed him away and stood up, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
'Well, he did call me daddy.'
'But the Intimacy score isn't 90 yet, so I still don't get the ten-fold rebate.'
Seeing this, the others quickly snapped out of it, clicked into the livestream, and also saw the screen full of Carnivals.
A hundred of them!
The viewer count began to skyrocket.
The livestream chat immediately exploded with activity.
In an instant, all eyes were on Lin Chu.
This number one supporter was a real baller.
'You've got to be kidding me.'
'A case of liquor worth over a hundred thousand, three hundred thousand in Carnivals... he's throwing money around like it's free.'
'Who is this guy?'
'He looks so unremarkable, yet he's so incredibly lavish with his spending?'
"Brother Chu, Brother Feng, you two aren't gay, are you?"
Lu Ming joked, but the way he looked at Lin Chu was filled with utter shock.
He knew Lin Chu and Liu Junfeng's relationship best, because he was the one who introduced them. And this was only their second meeting.
'He dropped three hundred grand just because the stream had no viewers?'
'How much must he be worth to spend money like that?!'
