Chapter 459 - 459 Almost Bluffed Lame_l
Zha Ke Bo Ge was now utterly dispirited, not yet able to accept the fact that he had failed, that he had been defeated.
Jiang Xu decided to give him another psychological rooster, completely break him down.
So, he said with a smile, “Bro, don’t lose heart. A temporary setback means nothing.
Keep working hard and studying well. Not everyone is like me, achieving such results with less than a year of exposure to programming.”
“Hmm?” Zha Ke Bo Ge, lost in his sickened stupor, suddenly sat up straight, eyes wide with disbelief as he looked at Jiang Xu, “What did you say?”
Jiang Xu: “I said you should keep trying hard.”
Zha Ke Bo Ge: “The part after that.”
Jiang Xu: “Less than a year of programming.”
Jiang Xu patted Zha Ke Bo Ge’s shoulder: “Life, actually, there’s no need to compare yourself with others, just compare with yourself.
As long as you improve a little bit every day, that’s good enough.
Maybe, you should consider a different industry for your future.
Or maybe study civil engineering. Dragon country’s real estate market is booming, desperately in need of talents like that.
By my calculation, you’re naturally a civil engineering prodigy.
If you enter the field, you will surely achieve great success, even get a glimpse
of the ultimate realm.”
Zha Ke Bo Ge couldn’t help but fall into an existential crisis.
Internally questioning himself relentlessly.
Am I really cut out for programming?
Could civil engineering be my true calling?
Just as Jiang Xu was about to completely bamboozle Zha Ke Bo Ge, his two teammates rushed over and shook him awake.
“Don’t be discouraged, this was just an individual match, we still have hope in the team competition.”
“Exactly, let’s keep our distance from this guy, he’s obviously trouble.’
Zha Ke Bo Ge came back to his senses, his eyes shining with light once more.
Yes.
I haven’t lost completely yet, there’s still the team competition!
He suddenly filled with fighting spirit: “Okay, just wait, you’ll see our strength in what’s coming next!”
Jiang Xu felt a bit disappointed.
But no matter.
During the team competition, he’ll just break their legs once more.
The prize money would be awarded only after the entire competition had ended.
The champion would get thirty million mei gold, which translates to over two hundred million in domestic currency.
The runner-up would get eight million, with five million for third place.
The team competition prize was increased to forty million met gold.
Then, the placements were announced.
Jiang Xu was first, Zha Ke Bo Ge second, An Nuonuo third.
The team competition would start tomorrow.
Jiang Xu took his buddies out to celebrate.
While no one was paying attention, he whispered a few words to one of his bodyguards.
The bodyguard nodded and left.
As soon as Jiang Xu turned on his phone, he received a barrage of missed calls and messages.
He replied to them one by one according to their importance.
Then he checked his email.
Several messages from company executives.
Jiang Xu laughed as soon as he saw them.
Firstly, bottled water was sold out in many stores across the country, with factories working overtime to keep up with production.
Then there was the novel website, which gained over fifty thousand new users just today.
The total amount of top-ups surpassed one hundred million.
On average, each user spent about two thousand.
Several games had total top-up amounts exceeding five hundred million.
Music and video websites also saw their growth multiply by several times compared to ordinary days.
All the staff from the various branches were ecstatic.
This year’s performance targets would no longer be a concern.
If Jiang Xu could also secure the championship in tomorrow’s team event, they could expect to earn another huge profit.
just counting up until today, with the addition of the bonuses, Jiang Xu had earned over ten billion already.
After having their fill of food and drinks, everyone returned to the hotel.
A little while later, a bodyguard called.
Jiang Xu glanced at the bathroom, where An Nuonuo was taking a shower and hadn’t come out yet.
So he stepped out of the room.
At the door, the bodyguard had brought over five girls.
All in their mid-twenties, dressed provocatively, with pretty good figures too.
This was Jiang Xu’s instruction for the bodyguard.
Looking around and seeing no one else, he asked the women, “All of you have diseases, right?”
The woman furthest to the left spoke first, “I have syphilis.”
“I have genital warts, and also AIDS.”
“I have seven or eight kinds.”
Jiang Xu instinctively took a few steps back and couldn’t help but look towards the bodyguard.
You’re really something.
To be able to find so many.
The bodyguard puffed out his chest proudly, indicating that the task given by the boss must be completed perfectly.
Jiang Xu was thoroughly exasperated.
He then took out a stack of cash and gave it to the women.
And he ordered, “Your targets are those three Little Hammers, remember, make them let down their guard.
If they get infected, I’ll give each of you another hundred thousand.” The five women’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, indicating no problem.
“Wait a moment,” Jiang Xu stopped the five of them: “Go change into more decent clothes, and don’t put on heavy makeup.”
In their current state, anyone could tell they were women of questionable repute, which could cause the Little Hammers to become wary.
The one paying the money is the boss.
The five women assured him right away that it wouldn’t be a problem.
The Little Hammers were staying on the floor below.
Normally, having lost the qualification to compete, one would be too ashamed to stay here.
But they were clearly not normal people.
They stayed behind, hoping to find a chance to trip up Jiang Xu. Naturally, they also harbored unsavory intentions towards An Nuonuo. This woman, who had caused them to lose face, must be captured and punished severely.
In the room, Pu Chang was angrily drinking beer and saying, “Damn it, that woman must have used some despicable tricks; otherwise, we couldn’t have lost!”
“Exactly!” Jin Dapao said fiercely, “We’re the strongest in the universe, it’s just not possible for us to lose normally.”
Li Sanyuan echoed along, “We can’t just let this go; the championship should have been ours, we need to file a complaint to the higher ups.
Pu Chang crushed the beer can with force, “I’ve already reported back to our country, they said they’ll seek justice for us.”
“Haha, that’s great.”
“Whether it’s individual or team competitions, the championship should be ours!”
“Thump, thump, thump…”
As the three Little Hammers were indulging in their delusions, someone knocked on their room door.
“Who is it, so late at night?” Pu Chang stood up to open the door, feeling quite irritated.
Upon opening the door, he was stunned.
Outside stood five attractive girls with nice figures, dressed in a sexy yet dignified manner.
“Who are you?”
One of the women spoke delicately, “We’re tourists, but our money was stolen. Could you brothers kindly let us stay here for the night?
Despite his arrogance, Pu Chang wasn’t foolish and remained wary, “You should find someone else.”
With that, he was about to close the door.
“Don’t be like that, brother, we’re not bad people, we have no ill intentions, and we aren’t sick.”
“Look, this is a medical checkup we just had recently.
“If you’re worried, you can search us; we don’t have any dangerous items on US.”
Pu Chang was tempted..
