A male voice came through the phone: "Hello, is this Mr. Xu Mo?"
"No, Xu Mo is taking a shower," Zhou Qiaoqiao replied instinctively. "What do you need him for?"
Hearing a female voice and learning that Xu Mo was in the shower, the man on the other end quickly realized that the person answering must be Mr. Xu's wife!
"Hello, Mrs. Xu. The situation is this: Mr. Xu purchased a yacht from our company. We have prepared the yacht he bought and can deliver it at any time. I'm calling to ask when would be convenient for Mr. Xu to take delivery."
Zhou Qiaoqiao: "???"
An Youyi: "???"
Yang Jingxuan: "???"
Li Jiaxin: "???"
After hearing the voice from the phone, all four women were stunned, including An Youyi, who was the wealthiest among them. Good heavens, it seemed Xu Mo had really bought a yacht!
After a moment of shock, the four women exchanged glances.
"What's going on? Did Xu Mo really buy a yacht!?"
"I thought he was just joking... but... it turns out everything he said was true."
"A yacht can't be cheap, right? Even a basic one must cost over 100 million!"
The man on the other end of the phone was also confused, as he heard several women's voices...
He had initially thought he was speaking to Mrs. Xu, and that there was only one Mrs. Xu, but now it seemed his perspective was too narrow. There might be more than one Mrs. Xu - judging by the voices, at least four, and possibly more!
Is this what the world of the wealthy is like? How... remarkably understated!
Buying a yacht on a whim, without even contacting their company beforehand, paying the full amount upfront, not even bothering with a deposit.
And he has four wives, taking a shower early in the morning - there's bound to be quite a battle ahead, Mr. Xu must be quite busy...
"I'm not sure when he'll be available. Why don't you wait a bit, and I'll have him call you back after he finishes his shower?" Zhou Qiaoqiao said after composing herself.
"Yes, yes, that's fine. If Mr. Xu is busy, he can take care of his business first. There's no rush to call back - whenever he's free will do. I'll keep my phone available."
"Alright, I'll tell him to call you back."
"Great, great, thank you."
"..."
Even after hanging up, the four women were still immersed in their shock.
Just moments ago, they had been thinking Xu Mo must be joking. They had unanimously believed there was no way he could have actually bought a yacht.
Who would have thought... he really did buy one! Without saying a word about it!
If Zhou Qiaoqiao hadn't brought it up today, Xu Mo probably wouldn't have mentioned it at all.
If they hadn't happened to receive that phone call, they probably wouldn't have known that Xu Mo had really bought a yacht!
"No wonder he didn't want to join our group buy... what he bought isn't something you can group buy," Zhou Qiaoqiao said with a wry smile, looking at the other three women.
Their "618" shopping festival purchases were all from online shopping sites, spending at most a few hundred or thousand on some necessities and stocking up on daily items.
But Xu Mo? His "618" purchase was straight-up a yacht!
It was just ridiculous!
...
Two minutes later, Xu Mo came out after finishing his shower and changing clothes.
The four women stared at him intently with strange expressions.
"What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?" Xu Mo smiled.
The next second, all four spoke in unison.
"Did you really buy a yacht?"
"Yes, I did."
"You... you bought a yacht during the 618 sale!? Do they even discount yachts during 618?"
Well... I only spent one yuan to buy a yacht, so I guess that counts as a discount! Xu Mo thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, it was discounted, heavily discounted actually. It was practically given away."
After a pause, he asked: "Weren't you all skeptical just now? Why are you suddenly asking like this?"
The four were dumbfounded by his response. Even with a heavy discount, how cheap could it be? It's not like he could have bought it for one yuan, right? It's a yacht! Those are expensive! Even with a massive discount, it would still cost a fortune!
"Your phone rang several times just now, and we were worried someone might have an urgent matter for you, so we answered. The caller said you bought a yacht from their company, and that they've prepared it and you can take delivery anytime. They asked when you'd be free to come by, so you should call them back."
"They prepared it that quickly?" He had only placed the order last night, and it was ready by morning - that's quite efficient! Xu Mo walked to the sofa, picked up his phone, opened the call history, and called back the number that had called several times earlier.
The other party answered almost instantly: "Hello, Mr. Xu."
"Hello."
"Are you free now? If so, we can discuss the yacht handover details. The yacht you ordered from our company is ready now. When would it be convenient for you to come and sign for it?"
"It's not very convenient recently. I'm out of town, so it might have to wait for a while. I'm not sure about the exact timing... I'll contact you later."
Hearing this, the man on the other end was shocked.
This really was a wealthy client... Not contacting them before buying the yacht and paying in full was one thing, but now he's saying he's not even free to take delivery.
What kind of person is this? Spending so much money and not even being eager to see the yacht they bought?
For most people, forget about expensive items like yachts - even when buying small items online, they can't wait to get their packages and open them.
I guess the world of the wealthy is truly beyond my understanding... After a few seconds of stunned silence, the man responded with a smile: "That's fine, whenever you're free. You can contact me anytime, my phone will always be available."
...
After breakfast, Xu Mo spent time playing games and cards with the others at the hotel.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Xu Mo left the hotel and walked to the hospital to visit Chen Ke.
"How are you feeling today?"
"How could I be feeling? *sigh*," Chen Ke sighed. "My arm hurts whenever I move it. It probably won't heal for at least a month."
Xu Mo smiled.
"Take it easy, a month is just a month. Think of it as a vacation."
"True, I haven't had this much free time in ages. Might as well treat it as a vacation." However, shortly after saying this, Chen Ke added: "It's just that something feels missing. Ever since I joined the police force, I've been busy every day and got used to it. Now that I'm suddenly idle... it's really quite boring. I don't know what to do with myself. *sigh* I actually miss the busy days of working cases. At least then I wasn't bored."
Just as he finished speaking, Xu Mo's phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, he saw it was the police officer he had exchanged numbers with last night.
Speak of the devil - Chen Ke had just mentioned missing working on cases, and now a local police officer was calling. Could it be another case requiring assistance? Xu Mo glanced at Chen Ke, thinking to himself that Chen Ke's words might have jinxed it - work might be coming their way!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
