Acai's Sky

Chapter 204 The road to wealth

"Oh my god~"

A Cai looked at Su Lie's expression that was about to collapse, and the corners of her mouth curled up wildly, but she still held back her smile. She turned her head and saw that Grandma Ma was still listening to the news report attentively, so she lowered her head, her body began to tremble, and she tried hard not to make any sound.

Seeing this, Lu Yingqi gently tugged at the corner of Ah Cai's clothes, then gestured toward the door with her chin, as if to say, "Let's go quickly, or I'll really burst out laughing later."

The two of them quickly cleared the tableware and put it into the storage basket, then rushed to the door like an arrow from a bow, and did not dare to laugh out loud until they left the restaurant.

"Haha, look at that Uncle Su Lie. He looks silly, but I didn't expect that he has bodyguards following him. It's really unexpected!" Lu Yingqi laughed so hard that tears almost came out.

Ah Cai smiled and nodded, then replied, "Yes, I was surprised too. And did you notice that the elders in the village just now said that Su Lie's stepmother and brother were about to be captured, but he himself was able to enter the dungeon. Think about it carefully..."

Lu Yingqi suddenly understood and exclaimed, "Oh! So that's how it is. Doesn't that mean he's not as dumb as he appears, but rather has extraordinary qualities? This is truly impressive!"

Ah Cai laughed proudly. "That's right, that's why I say he's a talent! The saying 'great wisdom appears foolish' is exactly like him. Being able to stay sober and untainted in such an environment is simply the epitome of staying untainted even in the midst of mud!"

Lu Yingqi couldn't help but sigh, "I really didn't see it before. I always thought he was just an ordinary rich man. Now it seems that he is much smarter than we thought."

Ah Cai nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's true. You can tell from the attitude of the village elders towards him. If he was really that stupid, he would have been kicked out of the village long ago."

The two of them strolled to the bamboo garden.

"Yingqi, you should move in. Xiaoxian lives with her family, and the driver and his followers. I arranged a homestay for them to stay in." Acai asked.

"Great! I originally wanted to stay in your bamboo house, but I didn't expect that Xiaoxian's parents were so high-ranking that people would follow them wherever they went."

"This is the first time I've seen such a scene, but fortunately, they are all easy to get along with." Lu Yingqi replied with a smile.

"Yeah, it does look good. By the way, aren't you going to buy some wine for your parents? Go get some more later! It's so convenient to use the system email delivery now!"

"Hey, the courier company is almost out of business now, right?"

"Not necessarily. Aren't there still hundreds of millions of people who haven't entered the dungeon yet? They'll definitely need a courier, right?"

"That's true, but express delivery is more convenient now. It can be sent directly through the system, saving you the fuel costs for your car and plane!"

"Haha, indeed, this not only saves time and costs, but also improves efficiency!"

"Yeah, this is a really great dungeon system. It makes our lives much more convenient."

The two smiled at each other and walked into the gate of the bamboo garden.

Ah Cai scratched his head and said thoughtfully, "I think that nowadays, even if people don't work, they can still support themselves! Look at the elderly people in our village. They can get plenty of food like chicken, duck, fish and meat in the Novice Village. Even the village chief grows vegetables in the Novice Village!"

However, Lv Yingqi had a different opinion. She retorted, "Maybe you villagers are just lucky? Look online, there are actually very few people who can actually get the ingredients!"

Then, Lu Yingqi continued to explain: "In the beginning, many people did go to pick wild fruits and vegetables, or go fishing, and even catch rabbits and pheasants, but that was only once. If you want to pick again, you have to wait for half a year!"

Hearing this, Acai was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Lu Yingqi laughed and continued, "So, the fact that we were able to obtain the [Queen's Bloody Rose] this time is everyone's greatest fortune! Take those rose sellers in today's news, for example. Which one didn't make at least a few million?"

Ah Cai pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "They are such idiots! That rose represents two lives in the dungeon, and they sold it off so easily!"

Lu Yingqi said while pulling Ah Cai's little face, "Don't underestimate these players, they are not stupid, they know what they want and how to achieve their goals.

They won't work like those who are led by the nose by the dungeon, desperately trying to complete the task. They choose to be the scenery party, enjoying the beauty and fun of the dungeon, so they don't need so many lives to support themselves.

"Besides, nowadays, many families enter the dungeon with several members. Each person can just leave one rose, and the rest can be sold. That would bring in quite a fortune!

You can even buy a large flat in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen!" Lv Yingqi became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he saw countless families living a happy life because of this.

Ah Cai couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and then she said jokingly, "So, these players have completely transformed into the middle class, right?"

Lu Yingqi nodded in agreement. "That's right! Haven't you seen the campus network? Our economics professors all said that this is the last time our country has truly escaped poverty."

Although many people made money from gaming in the past, they were only a minority. Now, almost every family can benefit from dungeons. This is truly universal wealth creation.”

She couldn't help but feel deeply moved, thinking that this era was truly full of opportunities and hope.

A Cai warmly invited Lu Jiaqi to live in Zhuyuan and specially arranged for her to live in the house next to hers.

"Get on my little camel..."

Suddenly, a familiar music sounded. Acai looked down and found that it was her cell phone ringing.

Xiaoxian's name appeared on the screen, and Acai's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile.

"Hi~Acai, good morning!" Xiaoxian's voice was crisp and cheerful, as if the sunshine came through the phone.

"Good morning, Xiaoxian, you're up already?" Acai asked softly.

"Haha, it's okay, I just want to share with you my experience last night." Xiaoxian said excitedly.

Hearing this, Ah Cai couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You're like this, coming home so late at night. Why did you wake up so early today? Did you secretly stay up late to watch drama again?"

"No, Acai, I'm a very good person! My house was so lively last night, with so many people coming in and out. I didn't sleep well the whole night. I kept watching them coming and going, and it felt quite scary. So, I'm still very sleepy now!" Xiaoxian complained while yawning.

Ah Cai couldn't help but frown and asked with concern: "Then why don't you just rest at home? It would be better to go directly into the dungeon."

Xiaoxian sighed helplessly, "Alas, I want to, too, but do I always want to watch the fun? A melon eater, a melon eater's heart..."

A Cai rolled her eyes and said, "You asked for it."

Lu Yingqi said with a smile: "If you had known this earlier, you might as well have stayed in Taibai Village like me! You can still eat melons and watch TV news~"

Xiaoxian bared her teeth, gnashing them fiercely as she said, "You've betrayed me in just one night..."

Lu Yingqi wrinkled his nose and replied mischievously, "How is that possible? I'm just clinging to your thighs, seeking protection! You're so far away, I can't rely on you at the critical moment!"

The fairy said angrily: "What delicious food are you eating? Hurry up and send me one. I will pay for the postage myself, hehe!"

Ah Cai looked at Xiao Xian and couldn't help laughing: "You called, this sentence is the key point!"

Xiaoxian quickly covered her face with her hands and said coquettishly: "Oh, you found out!"

Lu Yingqi rolled her eyes. "You look like you want to eat something delicious, who can't see it? You can do it, you really can do it!"

Xiaoxian laughed "hehe".

He told his two good friends mysteriously, "I'm telling you, all the soldiers in Wangyou City received 10+2 roses~"

"Aha~" Lu Yingqi was shocked. She was so envious of all the soldiers in Wangyou City.

Xiaoxian said with a smile, "There are three of us in Wangyou City. Hehe, we are extremely rich!"

Ah Cai and Lu Yingqi exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Tsk!"

Xiaoxian chuckled and continued, "Really? I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, just ask them when they come back!"

Ah Cai rolled her eyes at her. "That's because they're all soldiers from Wangyou City, right? That's 12 lives!"

Xiaoxian pouted, "Huh, my sister also received so many roses!"

Lu Yingqi shook her head helplessly, "Okay, okay, if you said you received it, then I received it!"

Xiaoxian raised her chin proudly, "Of course, what I said is absolutely true!"

Acai and Lu Yingqi looked at each other again and rolled their eyes at the same time.

Seeing this, Xiaoxian burst into laughter, "Haha, the expressions on your faces are too funny!"

Acai and Lu Yingqi also started laughing, and for a moment the room was filled with joyful laughter.
