Jiaojiao was in luck. She only bought three Great Gift Packs when she received a non-battle mount, Pink Pig.
Pink Pig's SPD was 130%, faster than Li Yi's Crimson Tiger King. However, Pink Pig did not come with any other attributes. It also had a glaring flaw, as it went on its course, it could nod off into sleep without warning, causing its speed to accelerate and decelerate unstably.
Though the Pink Pig had such a flaw, this mount was still one of the fastest non-battle mounts in the continent. Practicality aside, the fact that it was rare meant it was a cut above the rest.
Snorting as it ran, it definitely drew people's attention.
Obtaining Pink Pig had gotten Jiaojiao hooked on the Gift Packs...
"How much?"
"2, 000 Gold Coins!"
"Here's 100, 000 Gold Coins. Do whatever you please."
Li Yi did not hesitate in handing 100, 000 Gold Coins over to Jiaojiao.
"Thanks, hahahaha, " Jiaojiao was about to leave with the Gold Coins when Li Yi bid her to wait.
"I can give you these Gold Coins for free but do you have any idea how much you owe me now?"
"Owe you? Owe you what?" Jiaojiao's mind went blank.
Li Yi pretended to act angry."If it weren't for you, would my ring have been lost in the first place?"
"Didn't Lil Snow return that to you?"
"Yeah right, nothing ever came in the mail!" Li Yi seemed to be furious.
"It... It can't be? Are you saying that Lil Snow lied to me?" Jiaojiao was in disbelief.
Jiaojiao went offline to confirm Li Yi's words. She called Wind-on-Snow and received proof that Li Yi was not lying. Wind-on-Snow indeed had not picked up the ring.
"Lil Snow, why didn't you say so earlier?" Jiaojiao was in a panic.
"I'm was afraid you'll just blame yourself. It's okay now. Li Yi won't force you to pay damages. Alright, I'm in class now, bye~"
"Fine, I owe you, " Jiaojiao went back online. She looked devastated.
"What do you mean, fine? You do owe me, " Li Yi was jumping with joy inside but with a stiffened face, he continued, "You know how precious that ring is to me. So you can imagine how huge of a loss it was. Can you even pay me back if I asked you to?"
Jiaojiao shook her head violently. She was only seventeen. She was still underage. Financially, her family was doing okay. They were not poor, but they were definitely not rich either.
"How about it? Perhaps you'll pay with your body?"
"Go to hell!"
"You can't pay me in cash, you don't want to pay me with your body. Then what do you plan on doing?"
"I... I don't know."
"Right, then how about this?" Li Yi chuckled, "From now on, we need to switch the attitudes between us. Before you clear your debt, I'm your master, and you're my servant. You must listen to every word I say. Absolute obedience."
Jiaojiao swung her fist at Li Yi viciously, "Patooi! Don't think about S&M! Your old mother here is a 3rd dan black belt."
Li Yi snorted, "What are you thinking about? If I really wanted to do that to you, I would have gone upstairs long ago. Need I waste my breath further on this matter? What about it? If you don't wanna listen you can cough up the cash. Also, that 100, 000 Gold Coins I just loaned you, would have I lent you the money if we're neither family nor friends?"
Jiaojiao retreated back a few steps, as though afraid Li Yi would snatch the money from her hands. She lifted her chin and stated resolutely, "Tell me what you want me to do."
"Wipe away that pet phrase of yours. Stop referring yourself as old mother, old hag, or older sis, can you do that?"
Jiaojiao curiously looked at Li Yi, without saying a word.
"That's it?"
"For now, that is. I'll come up with something once I have time to think about it."
"My mother said the same thing to me. Strange, what good does it do for you?"
"You'll understand later, " Li Yi laughed out loud as he went on his way, leaving Jiaojiao standing there, in her thoughts.
Loaded men be bad boys while loaded women... Well, loaded women be squandering fortunes!
Jiaojiao only wanted to borrow 2, 000 Gold Coins from Li Yi to fool around but Li Yi was generous enough to provide 100, 000 Gold Coins.
Jiaojiao opened up 100 Ruler of God's Great Gift Packs in a huff. The rewards were bountiful. She managed to obtain three +10 Equipment Enforcement Scrolls. If she were to sell all of them, she would easily earn back her capital.
"Wahahaha! Old mother... I lucked out! I must not be far from a divine equipment."
Jiaojiao took Li Yi's orders seriously. Even without Li Yi around, she was making an effort to correct her pet phrase.
"Perverted Wing, lend me another 100, 000 Gold Coins. I'll return to you 200, 000 Gold Coins. Hold onto to these three +10 Equipment Enhancement Scrolls as collateral." Jiaojiao met with Li Yi again.
Li Yi did not bat an eye and immediately transferred, "500, 000 Gold Coins!
"Your man has money. Go play."
"F*ck off, you're still unqualified to be my man, " Jiaojiao gave Li Yi the middle finger.
"Number two, correct your habit of giving the middle finger!'
Jiaojiao shook her fist violently, "Tsk! Your house, your rules. Perverted Wing, remember never to fall into my debt or else I'll return it all tenfold!"
"Say that to my face when you've cleared yours."
Jiaojiao took the money and ran, searching for the divine messenger all over the world.
On the fifth day of the Ruler of God Appreciation Festival, players purchasing the Great Gift Packs lessened by half. It was not that they had lost the interest, it was that they ran out of Gold Coins.
Even if one was rich in real life, it was pointless, as there was a rule in King of Pantheon where Gold Coins could be converted to cash but not vice versa. The Gold Coins in the game could only be produced from quests and farming monsters. The officials of King of Pantheon did not make money from selling coins, they only profited from transaction taxes.
Many of the rich all over the world started to buy Gold Coins so the ratio between Gold Coins and cash began to flip. Previously, 5 Gold Coins could be bought with 1 China Yuan but now, 1 Gold Coin was 2 China Yuan. Even with such a hefty price, there was a shortage of Gold Coins.
Li Yi made his move when 1 Gold Coin could be redeemed for 2. 5 Yuan. He sold all the Gold Coins he accumulated, exchanging them into cash.
In a short span of five days, Li Yi's assets more than doubled. Before, he was considered a millionaire, but now he was a billionaire.
His reset in life transformed him from penniless nobody to a billionaire in a span of a year.
If Li Yi did not have his past life's experience, he would have fallen like the majority of people in losing all their assets over this deceiving Great Gift Pack...
He now had with him only 2, 000, 000 Gold Coins while the rest of the currency was sold off.
The Gold Coin exchange rate was at its peak. When the Ruler of God Appreciation Festival ended, the price of Gold Coins would resume to normal. There will be no other chance to sell at such rates then.
Jiaojiao returned, riding on her pig, "Do you still have money? Lend me another 3, 000. Just 3, 000 Gold Coins is enough."
This time, Jiaojiao was out of luck. She spent all her 500, 000 Gold Coins and apart from several +1 Equipment Enhancement Scrolls, nothing good came out.
"No more money."
"Then what am I to do? I owe you so much and have no money to pay you back... I don't want to owe anyone money."
"Then what are you going to do?" Li Yi was holding back his laughter.
"I'll listen to whatever you say, alright? Of course, my body is out of the question, " Jiaojiao was on the verge of tears.
"No problem. Great, I order you to come downstairs to my place."
"Why?"
"Come and massage your big brother's back here."
Jiaojiao went quiet, "..."
...
"That's right, gently to the left. Mm... Heavier on the right, mmm mmm, ahh... Ah... Feels so good..."
Li Yi was sitting on a chair with the slender Jiaojiao behind him. Her dainty hands were kneading his shoulder at a tempo. That invigorating feeling coaxed his mouth into muttering moans of pleasure.
"Can you not make those sounds, please? People will misunderstand if they heard." Jiaojiao's face was blushing red. She suddenly gripped tightly, causing Li Yi to cry out in pain.
"What sounds? I don't think it's weird. C'mon, tell big bro here, what were you thinking?"
Jiaojiao spat in contempt, ignoring his question. Her dainty hands started kneading again, reducing Li Yi into another bout of pleasure moaning.
"Right, Perverted Wing, can you help me with something?"
"What?"
"My mother is going to have a negotiation with my father in the next few days. I want you to accompany me."
"Is there any danger?"
Jiaojiao sighed, "I don't know. But... sigh. How should I put it? Anyway, I'm really troubled by it. Just say if you're coming."
"I'll go. Of course, I'll go. Oh~ Now I get it, " Li Yi pointed at Jiaojiao and snorted."No wonder you massaged me so easily. You had a favor to ask."
"Hehe, so it's agreed. Meow~" Jiaojiao gave Li Yi a playful wink. Li Yi felt a surge up in his pants. He almost could not hold himself back.
Voluptuous at the right edges. Curves in the right places. She has the looks. She has the height. Her sun-kissed skin hinted at irresistible youth.
Yang Xingchen was totally into Jiaojiao after just one look. If it were not for Jiaojiao's relationship with Li Yi, he would have long ago made his move.
"I'll let you know when it's time to go. It's getting late now so I'll be going home. Bye bye~"
Jiaojiao was indeed hooked on opening gift packs but she had no money. She only borrowed from those close to her and would never borrow from those who were just friends.
Since Li Yi was not going to lend her anymore and she was out of money, that urge soon disappeared.
Opening Great Gift Packs were fun and almost everyone who had tried it were somewhat hooked, including Li Yi. Although he knew that the Great Gift Packs were a hoax, he still could not help himself in spending 500, 000 Gold Coins. In the end, he was left with a pile of +1 Equipment Enhancement Scrolls.
There were others whose self-control were abysmal such as Hua Feiwu. There were also some who were disciplined, who was once bitten, twice shy. Confused Fox was one of them.
"Bro, this Great Gift Pack is such a drag. Sigh, let's not talk about it. I really made a huge loss. I wouldn't be able to recover even with a year, " Confused Fox was so upset to the point of banging his head on the wall.
Discipline was key. Tragedy was bound to strike those who lacked it.
On the sixth day of the Ruler of God Appreciation Festival, the Gold Coins exchange rate started to revert to normal. The reason was simple. The majority of people finally saw the true nature of the deceiving Great Gift Packs and decided not to buy any more. They turned their focus instead toward farming monsters.
Of course, there were still a small number of people who still indulged in these Great Gift Packs. Brother Windcloud Nine of the Western Continent was one of those who was most absorbed in it.
From day one, Brother Windcloud Nine invested large sums of money and up till now, the money he used to purchase Ruler of God's Great Gift Packs of Blessings had exceeded 200, 000, 000 Gold Coins!
