CH 72.8

Fuck!

Who knows what magical vehicle He Jünle is in that moves so fast!

It can’t be a traffic accident, right?!

No, wait, there’s no time to waste, what’s this shaoye even doing dithering around?

“Sophia, report on shao-furen’s location, in real time!”

“Understood, boss.”

He Jünle, though, isn’t actually in some kind of traffic accident.

The Jünle Gang is absurdly powerful──Though that does not mean they still have enough people to cover the whole city’s streets. Compared to Princess Elizabeth’s area-of-effect spells that are especially effective against crowds gathered wherever she goes, his current method is still too debilitating.

Mainly, he is wasting a lot of stamina.

Let’s calm down and think about it. He is really amazing, sure, and he can keep running all day round, but even so, it is still unrealistic to visit every single place in City A all at once in 12 hours.

Also, he’s ‘pregnant,’ and he’s running for a whole day?

Most importantly, Murong Jihua, that dummy…

He’s messed up the ratio of the men to women strolling outside!

Wherever he goes, all he can see are women!

Members of the opposite sex are worth one point, the same sex double, which means that, his current rate of point collection,

Is slow,

Very slow,

Too slow.

──If this goes on, he will lose.

He cannot lose.

That is why He Jünle came to a screeching halt and bought a cone of ice cream off the street, taking a seat on a bench to think.

Is there really no way out but the crossdressing way?

He swallows the last of the ice cream and sighs, while tucking at the female clothes in his pocket (TL: ???), and, looking like fate has got the better of him, walks into the closest shopping mall bathroom and also calling Murong Jihua in the meantime.

“Murong, where are you?”

“Don’t worry, baby! Your boyfriend is on his way to weather the challenge with you! With all due haste!”

“… Don’t come here. What difference could it make? You’re just worth two points.”

“Yes, but still, Jünle, don’t you think that my presence besides you can already give you endless bravery and energy?”

“… If you want me to win, then listen to me,”

“Yeah?”

“I’ll send you the picture of a girl later, I want her known. The local TV stations, the Weibo Trending, the push-notification news… anything, I only need the entire populace of City A to know that, this girl is currently seen walking around City A.”

“Shit, He Jünle, what are you doing? Did some kind of Internet celebrity blackmail you?!”

“Be a good boy──And listen. Oh, right, also, immediately, right now, stop your lipstick subsidiary from showering lipstick coupons!”

“???”

“Right that’s all. I love you baby, so stop faffing about. See you later.”

Murong Jihua, on the other side of the phone, has stopped his happy skateboarding.

“…”

“…”

“He Jünle?”

Did this shaoye, fail him again, somehow?

A girl?

What plan does He Jünle actually have?

Should he, really do it?

“Boss! Move out of the way immediately! There’s a──”

That is when a breeze comes, a breeze from a full lorry, which cannot stop in time, and is screaming, hurtling its way towards Murong Jihua──

The word ‘lorry’ couldn’t make it out of Sophia’s mouth before it has already become an echo in the dust.

Butler Cui, who has been remotely monitoring the situation from afar, could feel his vision going out. He screams,

“Shaoye!!!”

“…

The smoke clears. Murong Jihua is standing in place, completely unfazed. He is still maintaining a reflexive pose of defence when the lorry was impacting him.

His fists seem reddened, but nothing serious seems to have afflicted him.

The lorry isn’t as fortunate, however, with a dent at its front and a sizeable wound slashed on the driver’s arm──He is still in shock. He looks way more shaken than Murong Jihua.

“Oh damn, my device broke.”

Murong Jihua furrows his brows, and very unhappily lectures the driver,

“Be more careful next time, it was fortunate it was me you rammed into. If it were anyone else, this would have become a dog-blood melodrama instead, get it?

Oh right, I still have something I have to contact butler Cui for. I have no time for this.”

Under everyone’s shocked eyes, he climbs onto the lorry’s driver seat, and throws a stack of cash at the driver, and says frankly,

“Stop blanking out and drive me, ok?

Also, I’m borrowing your terminal.”
