Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 504: Chapter 502: Leaning Towards Tiger Mountain [Second Release]

Upon hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, Cai Long didn’t hesitate for even a moment before promptly agreeing: ”Young Master Bu, I can do it! Absolutely!”

As he had previously stated, his decision to seek out Lu Xiaobu for the eSports directing job was never about wealth or fame.

He did it for some so-called dreams that sounded a little laughable—to make the Heavenly Dynasty’s eSports industry the leading force, instead of the butt of a tiger headed snake-like joke!

”Good, since that’s the case, I won’t say much more. Go on then! They are analyzing your videos in the next room, go take a look and join them in the review!”

Lu Xiaobu appreciated Cai Long’s attitude of knowing the risks but still marching towards the tiger’s den.

Only with such an attitude and state of mind can one achieve rapid improvement in a short time.

”Yes!”

Cai Long immediately responded.

His emotions were also quite stirred.

In his heart, he held a great deal of respect for Lu Xiaobu, after all, Lu had always been a maker of miracles.

And now he might soon become a follower of a miracle creator!

Wouldn’t he be thrilled!

After Cai Long left, Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin: ”System, can we upgrade this Cai Long?”

”Eh, if you’re thinking of a fundamental upgrade, I suggest you give up! The price for that isn’t something we can afford right now! Not to mention Cai Long, what about anything you’ve received from me besides Basic Attributes that is permanently upgraded?!”

The system responded with an explanation.

”Eh... I guess so.”

Lu Xiaobu scratched his head.

Besides Basic Attributes, it seemed that indeed there wasn’t anything that had been permanently upgraded.

”Then, let’s do something temporary, something like a stimulant, and give it to him when the time comes.”

Lu Xiaobu said again.

”That can be done, but ultimately, it still depends on his own level reaching a certain standard.”

The system nodded in agreement.

”Understood.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded.

Even if you switch a car’s engine for an airplane’s, it still won’t fly!

The directing matter was temporarily put to rest.

Next was the issue of recruitment for commentators.

”Sister Lan, call over all the famous domestic ones, let me have a look.”

Lu Xiaobu said to Liang Lan.

He could only choose step by step, finding a commentator was even harder than a director.

After all, the director works behind the scenes, while the commentator is in front of the audience!

”Yes!”

Liang Lan responded.

...

Meanwhile, while Lu Xiaobu was busily engaged.

Zhenxi Hospital.

Huang Wenta, with his head wrapped up like a zongzi, lay on the hospital bed.

At this moment, his facial features were contorted together, his face filled with anger and ferocity!

With every throb in his head, his rage increased by a notch!

”Fuck Lu Xiaobu’s mom! I swear it’s not over between you and me! It’s either you die or I live!”

He stared at the ceiling, bellowing out his grievances.

He was bewildered that day!

He had schemed against Mo Hong, but that was just exploiting Lu Xiaobu a bit, right?!

There was no direct harm done to Lu Xiaobu’s interests!

He even let you know about Mo Hong outsourcing the project to Korea, but what about you?!

Not only you didn’t fucking thank me, but you also let Mo Hong beat me up!

Son of a bitch!

His emotions surged, turning his entire face red!

With his blood vessels engorged with blood, his head began to throb with stabbing pains again.

”Ah! Doctor! Fuck! Doctor! Quick!”

Huang Wenta howled in agony, roaring out!

The more infuriated he became, the more his head throbbed, and the deeper his hatred for Lu Xiaobu grew!

A vicious cycle had begun!

Outside the door, Huang Wenta’s father, Huang Wu, heard his son’s roaring from inside the room, and a ferocious expression also appeared on his face!

Lu Xiaobu, we are irreconcilable!

I know my son can’t beat you, and even I can’t beat you!

But, the current situation is not in your favor, is it?

This time, I’m going to fight it out with you!

Don’t blame me for kicking you when you’re down!

...

It was that very afternoon.

Online whispers and rumors suddenly sprang up!

And some articles started circulating.

”Insiders reveal that the upcoming global tournament is nothing but an empty shell, with nothing but a stage.”

”It seems that Korea’s predictions are true.”

”Are we going to lose face internationally?”

”Has Lu Xiaobu fed our trust to the dogs?!”

”...”

These news items weren’t from any mainstream media, after all, the media already frightened by Lu Xiaobu, wouldn’t dare to speculate without the events actually happening!

However, even though they weren’t from mainstream media, they spread incredibly fast.

In no time at all, such news was everywhere on the internet!

And a large number of paid trolls also began to set the tone!

The sheer number of them was horrifying.

”Lu Xiaobu, come out and give us an explanation!”

”That’s right, a day has passed, have you selected your team yet?!”

”Yeah, we heard you haven’t chosen anyone at all!”

”Exactly, exactly, I saw the same news, saying that you’re just an empty shell!”

”Let’s see your results!”

”That’s it, we want to see the list, that’s not too much to ask, is it?!”

”...”

As time passed, more and more people joined in this chorus.

Before, when it was the Koreans talking, everyone naturally supported Lu Xiaobu.

But now the latest news was coming from our own countrymen, and doubts began to form in people’s minds!

Moreover, they felt their demands were not unreasonable.

They just wanted to know the team roster, was that too much to ask?!

Not at all!

It was precisely this self-righteous mindset that made the uproar on the internet grow even louder!

Demands for Lu Xiaobu to release the roster were overwhelming.

...

Huang Wu, Huang Wenta’s father, looked at these clamors and narrowed his eyes, ”Not enough, keep spreading the news, we must elevate the attention this matter is getting to another level!”

”Yes!”

Someone beside him responded, but then he asked, ”Mr. Huang, what’s the benefit of doing this?! Once Lu Xiaobu releases the roster, won’t all our efforts be in vain?”

”Just do your job!”

Huang Wu sharply turned his head, a glint of ferocity flashing in his eyes, ”Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, don’t try to know what you shouldn’t know, or else I’ll have you keep your mouth shut forever!”

”Yes!”

The man immediately broke out in a cold sweat, his body shivering uncontrollably as he quickly withdrew!

That was how Huang Wu was—extremely paranoid and never shared his specific plans with anyone.

Even though he had followed Huang Wu for over ten years, he still hadn’t earned his trust.

After watching the man leave, Huang Wu picked up a lighter and lit a cigarette.

Surrounded by the smoke, Huang Wu’s expression gradually darkened—Lu Xiaobu, let’s play this game slowly!
