Free Web NovelDream Come True Entertainment City, Middle Third Floor, Third Floor Private Room.
Nan Hao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the entire hall, holding two or three pages of paper in his hand, repeatedly flipping through them.
The information had just been delivered to him by a Rabbit Girl, recording the results of his friend's investigation into the two cheaters he had commissioned.
Within the scope of Dream Come True Entertainment City, there is no one whose background cannot be thoroughly investigated; if there is, it's either a lack of time or a lack of money.
After the previous investigation yielded no results, Nan Hao spent a large sum of money entrusting his friend to continue the investigation, and after a long wait, he finally obtained reliable information.
This time-consuming and expensive investigation was not without meaning; some cheaters might appear unremarkable, but their backgrounds could be terrifyingly deep, and dealing with them too aggressively might instead bring greater losses to the Entertainment City.
After carefully reading the contents of the information, he slightly raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself, "Interesting, is it the Miracle Order?"
"It looks like they might have some big moves recently; they've even extended their hand to us to raise funds."
The Miracle Order, a cult organization that once had a reputation comparable to the Eclipse Society.
However, although their sphere of influence was once comparable to the Eclipse Society, they were very different; as a group of lunatics worshiping a decaying deity, their weaknesses were far more obvious than the Eclipse Society's.
A few years ago, during the Night Watch's large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Miracle Order, after a Calamity level operative killed the deity they worshiped, there had been no news of their movements for a long time.
What difference is there between believers who have lost their object of faith and blind people?
However, judging from the information Nan Hao obtained, in recent months, the Miracle Order, which had originally disappeared without a trace, has reappeared.
Not only in Dream Come True Entertainment City, but they also show signs of large-scale fundraising in almost all areas difficult for the Night Watch's forces to reach, clearly plotting something.
Nan Hao threw the information in his hand aside, paced to the desk and sat down, stretched, picked up the strong coffee on the table, and drank more than half of it in one gulp.
He was not very worried about the Miracle Order appearing in the Entertainment City and causing trouble; with the Big Boss present, even if all existing members of the Miracle Order appeared together, they couldn't stir up any waves.
The only thing he needed to consider was how to prevent those two cheaters from taking more chips from the Entertainment City.
"Tap, tap, tap—"
The light sound of high heels tapping against the floor came, and a Rabbit Girl pushed the door open, placing a thick stack of information in front of Nan Hao.
Looking at the information that was several times thicker than before, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly called out to the Rabbit Girl, asking, "Wait, wait, what is this?"
The Rabbit Girl tilted her head, puzzled, and said, "Didn't you ask me to go to your friend to get the information about that Miss Wang Bu Liu Xing?"
"You said this is Wang Bu Liu Xing's information?" Nan Hao asked, pointing to the thick stack of papers on the table.
"Yes!"
"..." Nan Hao silently picked up the information on the table, gave it a gentle shake, and the folded papers "swished" open into a long section in front of him.
"Huacheng Monster King... Plague Tai Sui's mortal enemy... Flower City Torment King... Owner of legendary Spiritual Energy items... Monster Story Chat Group Honorary Member..."
After reading the long list of titles, Nan Hao felt a headache even before he had time to carefully read the detailed explanations under those titles.
Although these titles individually are not particularly conspicuous, appearing on a urban legend at the same time is a bit exaggerated.
This guy is a bit too good at stirring up trouble, isn't he? Nan Hao thought.
As he was thinking, his follower Le Er rushed in from outside the door, and as soon as he entered the private room, he shouted, "Void, you really are prophetic!" freewebnøvel.com
"Void, you said that Miss looks quite a bit younger than me, how can she be so powerful?"
"I just went to inquire, she has already taken down those two cheaters, and I heard she even extorted a sum of chips from them along the way, it's truly satisfying!"
Nan Hao put down the information in his hand and responded with exceptional calmness, "Oh, I see."
Le Er scratched the back of his head and asked doubtfully, "Void, why do I feel like you're not very surprised?"
"..." Nan Hao looked at the information on the table, remaining silent.
If you had read this information earlier, you wouldn't be surprised either.
That guy is a grandmaster at causing trouble; isn't it easy to crush two pesky members of the Miracle Order?
However...
While thinking, Nan Hao slightly furrowed his brow.
What kind of urban legend like this can't obtain whatever she wants through her own means?
I shouldn't have to worry too much about her being greedy for money, right?
Her purpose for coming to the Entertainment City, if not simply for fun, is because she encountered some wish that is difficult to achieve and requires the Big Boss to act.

Middle Third Floor Hall, in a certain mahjong private room.
Lu Yibei sat in the seat directly facing the door, A Hua and Liu Banxian sat on her sides respectively, and the washed mahjong tiles on the table were neatly arranged.
Before long, the door opened, and someone entered the private room under the guidance of a Rabbit Girl.
Upon closer inspection, the person who came was the mature woman Lu Yibei had «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» previously watched, who used the Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth method to cheat.
Watching the woman enter the room, Lu Yibei made a gesture of invitation and said expressionlessly, "Please sit, shall we begin?"
The woman carefully walked to the seat opposite Lu Yibei and sat down, took a deep breath, and said with a calm expression, "Tell me, how much will it take for you to turn a blind eye to me?"
"How much what? I don't understand?" Lu Yibei said lightly, "Sister, let's not be so vulgar!"
"How about we play cards first? If I'm lucky and win some chips, I should be very happy."
"Please, you be the dealer this round, roll the dice?"
The woman, "..."
Before coming in, she had already inquired with her friend's friend; although this 'dark lamp' accepted bribes, she would not directly demand them, but would "win" them through card games.
Thinking carefully, this was also more reasonable; direct blackmail was bound to leave evidence, and only through this method could she avoid being suspected by the Entertainment City.
In fact, after some busybodies learned about this situation, they specifically inquired about the middle-aged man who had interacted with Lu Yibei in the center of the hall.
The answer they got was that she did not accept the middle-aged man's chips at all at that time, but rather, in the three consecutive gambling games before that, she had sent the chips to her hand by losing cards.
After a brief thought, the mature woman understood in her heart, and after estimating the amount of chips she wanted to give away, she rolled the dice and started the game.
And so, a hellish scene unfolded before her.
More than ten minutes later.
When the mature woman left the mahjong private room on the third floor and returned to the Middle Third Floor Hall, she came down the stairs clinging to the wall.
Her appearance, with unfocused pupils, pale face, and dripping sweat, immediately attracted countless scrutinizing gazes.

Those gazes were either schadenfreude, or thoughtful speculation, varying from person to person.
After a moment, someone who knew the mature woman finally couldn't suppress their curiosity, came closer, and quietly asked, "Second Sister, what's going on with you?"
The mature woman turned her face away, leaned against the wall with one hand, and waved her hand, saying, "Let's not mention it, let's not mention it..."
The person who came felt a tightness in their chest, frowned, and looked her up and down for a while, "This... Could it be that the 'dark lamp' not only extorts chips, but also takes advantage of pretty girls she encounters?"
"Isn't this going too far? She looks like a lovely Miss, how could she do something like this?"
"Ah—! If only that were the case!" the mature woman sighed deeply, and as she spoke, her delicate face lifted up with an expression of utter despair, looking at the crystal lamp on the ceiling.
Gazing at the dazzling and dreamlike light, for a moment, she recalled her experience in that private room, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Lu Yibei's luck was really too bad; others who accept bribes only want money, but she "wants life".
The mature woman had never thought that one day it would be so difficult to lose chips to a person or urban legend; the process of feeding cards made her spirit wilt, fearing that if she made a wrong move, she would win and take chips from Lu Yibei.
In the past ten-plus minutes, the entire process could only be described as extremely painful; just recalling it now caused her body to react, sending shivers down her spine.
----
Just as A Hua said, the guests on the Middle Third Floor were all using special means to win money.
Therefore, after Lu Yibei's rumor spread, more than half of the guests unconsciously restrained themselves when using their respective methods, and almost all guests started planning to bribe her.
Although in the end, not all guests who had the idea of bribing went to that mahjong private room to find Lu Yibei, even if only seventy to eighty percent of the guests went, she still harvested a massive amount of chips.
More than an hour later.
Seeing that the guests coming to bribe gradually decreased, Lu Yibei counted the chips and announced the end of work to A Hua and Liu Banxian.
"You two, we harvested a total of two million six hundred and fifty-seven thousand chips this time. According to what we agreed before, a three-seven split, rounding off the remainder, giving eighty thousand to Banxian, we should be about done, right?"
"Do you two have anything else you want to say?"
After speaking, Lu Yibei looked left and right at Liu Banxian and A Hua, casting an inquiring gaze.
A Hua shook her head.
She was eager to go to the Upper Third Floor to find Jiang Li and had no other opinions, especially since the chips were originally earned through Lu Yibei's idea, so she couldn't interfere too much.
"Nothing to say," Liu Banxian said with a simple smile while putting the large denomination chips counted out by Lu Yibei into his pocket, "Even if you hadn't mentioned this, I was almost ready to withdraw anyway." freewēbnoveℓ.com
"If we stay any longer, I'm afraid there will be trouble. You think so too, right?"
Lu Yibei nodded to Liu Banxian expressionlessly.
Indeed, the speed of earning chips through blackmail is much faster than winning chips normally through card games, but at the same time, there is also extremely high risk involved.
If the Entertainment City discovers that someone is impersonating their 'dark lamp', they will probably be arrested, right?
Knowing when to stop after seeing the results is the way to avoid being caught with evidence; leaving after the matter is settled is the kingly way.
Thinking this, Lu Yibei extended her hands and "swished" all the chips into the guitar bag to pack them. She looked left and right at Liu Banxian and A Hua, her gaze hardening.
"Then... let's head towards the Upper Third Floor!"
----
After Lu Yibei found a Rabbit Girl, confirmed the accumulated chip amount, obtained the qualification to go to the Upper Third Floor, and left.
Middle Third Floor, Third Floor Private Room.
"Thump, thump, thump—!"
A burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, Le Er pushed the door open, panting, his gaze searched around, and after finding Nan Hao's figure, he opened his mouth and shouted.
"This is bad, Void, this is bad, something big has happened, that Wang Bu Liu Xing, she... she..."
Nan Hao glared at Le Er and said in a deep voice, "Look at you, what are you saying? Speak properly!"
"Gulp—!" Le Er propped his hands on the edge of the table, swallowed, calmed his breath, and continued, "She extorted over two million chips from the guests!"
"Bang—!"
"What?!" Nan Hao's face changed, he slapped the table and stood up, saying coldly, "Say that again, what did she do?"
"She extorted over two million chips from those guests under the guise of our 'dark lamp', and then took the chips to the Upper Third Floor..."
Hearing this, Nan Hao's mood instantly plummeted to rock bottom.
He had originally thought that Lu Yibei and Jiang Li were the same kind of people, both "Bodhisattvas" who could help their 'dark lamps' reduce work pressure, but who knew that as soon as she turned around, Lu Yibei would become a deadly evil spirit.
After a brief contemplation, Nan Hao pressed, "Tell me in detail, how did you know she extorted those guests? Did someone report it to you?"
"No one reported it to me." Le Er shook his head, "But rumors have already spread; now all the guests on the Middle Third Floor know that there's a traitor among our 'dark lamps', accepting bribes and letting them cheat."
"Oh?" Nan Hao was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and then a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It seems that although she is not a "Bodhisattva", she has indirectly helped us quite a bit! Nan Hao thought to himself.
Seeing Nan Hao not speaking, Le Er pressed, "Void, what should we do now? Should we go to the Upper Third Floor and chase her back?"
Nan Hao glared at Le Er and said coldly, "Chase? Chase what?! How do you chase? What reason do you use to chase?"
"Did anyone report her?"
Le Er shook his head.
"Then do you have evidence in your hand that she extorted the guests?" Nan Hao continued to ask.
"..." Le Er thought back for a moment, frowned tightly and said, "No, not either. On the surface, she won all the chips from the guests through card games."
"Then that's that," Nan Hao rolled his eyes, "What you have now are just some rumors; on what basis can you arrest someone?"
Le Er was stunned for a moment and said pitifully, "Then are we just not going to deal with her?"
"Deal with her? Are you that free?"
Nan Hao said as he paced towards the floor-to-ceiling window in the private room, stood in front of the window, looked towards the hall, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said faintly, "Later, we will be very busy."
And so, after Lu Yibei left, those cheaters who thought they could act with impunity after bribing the 'dark lamp', when they were using their respective methods without restraint, the 'dark lamps' on the Middle Third Floor took action...
Some people left, but the pain she left behind was still spreading.
In just one night, they successfully apprehended over forty unsuspecting cheaters, exceeding the usual number for half a month.
This night, many people and urban legend remembered Wang Bu Liu Xing's name, and put her on the blacklist.
