Around 10:00 PM, Luofeng arrived at Capital City International Airport. For the return trip, Luofeng had definitely booked a first-class ticket in advance. This time, he could finally skip economy class.
Luofeng naturally put the Patek Philippe watch case into his backpack. He did this to avoid carrying such an ostentatious shopping bag, which might attract unwanted attention and criticism.
At the entrance to the first-class lounge, after passing through security, a polite young attendant led Luofeng to the first-class waiting area.
Luofeng ordered a bowl of beef noodles right away. He watched the attendant’s unprofessional noodle-making technique, but considering it was free, Luofeng didn’t feel he could complain much.
Fortunately, there was a self-service steaming stall nearby. Luofeng went over, grabbed a few steamed dumplings and soup dumplings, and also got a Strawberry Juice on the side.
As expected, the attendant’s version of the beef noodles matched her novice skills: they weren’t chewy and were a bit too hard. Fortunately, Luofeng had strong teeth.
No wonder some people can’t eat overly hard noodles while gaming, Luofeng mused. It’s easy to chip a tooth... especially when you’re getting killed so much you become a super ghost.
After eating, Luofeng went to the resting area, slumped into a sofa with an "Uncle Ge" posture, and then started checking the System.
The cashback had arrived.
[Host spent 2,000,000 Yuan on a Patek Philippe watch, triggered a 3x cashback, and received 6,000,000 Yuan!]
Luofeng chuckled. This time, buying the watch actually netted me a profit of over 3,800,000 Yuan! This feels incredibly comfortable. The 2,700,000 Yuan for the Porsche I previously bought for Dad is now fully recouped, and I’ve even made an extra 900,000-plus Yuan on top of that.
It was ten o’clock at night when Luofeng returned home. However, there was nobody there.
Luofeng sent a message to his parents to ask about the situation. Luo Lin replied that he was busy at the company. After all, thanks to Luofeng and Lin Wanting’s relationship, his dad’s company had secured a partnership with Hongda Group, which genuinely required his full attention.
His mom’s reply was simple and direct: she sent a short video of herself "building the Great Wall."
"Mom, are you winning?" Luofeng sent a message asking.
"Won a little! We’ve agreed to finish at midnight!" Xu Zhenzhu replied.
Luofeng knew that when his mom and her friends set up a mahjong game, they didn’t just play until whenever they felt like it. Once everyone agreed on a stopping time, then at that exact time, regardless of who was winning or losing, everyone would leave. Playing this way prevented any hurt feelings. Otherwise, whoever was losing would inevitably start whining and making excuses about needing to leave, which was really annoying.
"So, after you finish, want to get some late-night snacks?"
"??????"
Xu Zhenzhu sent back a string of question marks. This was their new style of chatting. Whenever Luofeng mentioned anything about money to his mom, Xu Zhenzhu would just send a string of question marks.
"???????"
Luofeng likewise sent a string of question marks back.
"Just order takeout yourself. No need to reply!"
Seeing his mom’s reply, Luofeng was almost rendered speechless. It’s true. After I revealed my wealth, I could hardly expect Mom to fuss over my finances anymore... She’s completely hands-off now. In the past, after winning money in mahjong, Mom would definitely arrange some late-night snacks... Isn’t she going to share her joy anymore?
Luofeng sighed, opened a food delivery app on his phone, and casually ordered 388 Yuan worth of food.
Then he sent a message to the ’Prince’ jungler from the last Live Streaming Room. This time, I want to rank up. Better not to team up with Bai Ningbing. A skilled flatterer jungler? Wouldn’t that kind of rank-up journey be much smoother than playing with Bai Ningbing?
As for not attending school these days? Xu Shaoyuan and the others had already arranged it. Besides, the semester break was almost here, so Luofeng could just skip school altogether. Now that I have money, I’ve really gotten carried away, barely attending any classes... Luofeng reflected.
「The next day.」
Around 7:00 AM, Luofeng woke up. The early bird gets the worm, he thought. I might get to eat Mom’s breakfast. But his mom showed no intention of making breakfast.
