#179 - Chapter 179 A Simple and Unpretentious Method
The burly man bent down to pick up the barbell from the ground: "If you make me spit on the ground..."
Before the burly man could finish his sentence, Li Chenqiu stepped forward, his left hand transforming into a blur, directly grabbing the other's face and pressing it towards the bed.
With a "bang," wood splinters flew everywhere as the burly man's head was embedded in the broken bed board, radial bloodstains splattering the gray-black walls.
The sudden turn of events stunned everyone present, their eyes wide with disbelief as they stared at Li Chenqiu.
"Bastard!"
The burly man, pinned in the bed board, cursed angrily, his arm veins bulging as he grabbed the barbell and smashed it towards Li Chenqiu's head.
Li Chenqiu glanced at the barbell, raised his palm, and gently slapped it, sending the barbell smashing into the wall with a "bang" as if it had a propulsion device.
Jagged cracks spread out, reaching across the entire wall.
The commotion was so loud that it shook open the half-closed door, causing the bewildered prisoners to stop and stare.
Zhang Dalong was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly, "Damn it, you dare to provoke me! Everyone, get him!"
Skinny Monkey was the first to react, picking up the nearby table and blocking the doorway, obstructing the view from outside.
"I underestimated you. You're actually a Third Restriction Destiny Awakened!" Zhang Dalong pulled out a baseball bat from under the bed.
"Indeed, I underestimated you," Li Chenqiu agreed.
The moment the words fell, Li Chenqiu's figure swayed, disappearing before everyone's eyes.
Whoosh—
A gust of wind swept through, and several people were lifted off the ground at the same moment, falling to the ground with several "bang" sounds like dumplings being dropped into water.
Li Chenqiu caught the baseball bat and swung it down.
Crack!
The crisp sound of bone breaking came from Zhang Dalong's body.
"Ah!!!"
A shrill scream echoed within the cell.
"Don't look at me like that. I still prefer the way you look when you smile," Li Chenqiu kicked Zhang Dalong's head.
Whoosh—
A gust of wind grazed the hair beside Li Chenqiu's ear.
Li Chenqiu twisted his wrist, grabbed the baseball bat, and swung it towards Skinny Monkey's abdomen without looking back.
Bang!
Skinny Monkey shot out like a bullet, arching his body and crashing into the light fixture on the ceiling.
"Pfft!"
Fresh blood sprayed out, appearing particularly eerie under the flickering lights.
Skinny Monkey's limbs hung limply, his nearly bulging eyes staring at Li Chenqiu in disbelief.
How could he be so strong at such a young age?
He didn't understand, and neither did anyone else present.
The others no longer had any of their previous arrogance, looking at Li Chenqiu with terrified expressions.
Li Chenqiu wiped the blood splattered on the corner of his mouth with his wrist, turning his head to look at the others: "Do you want me to share the love equally?"
Li Chenqiu's fingers deftly intertwined, twirling the baseball bat like a pen, gesturing with his eyes towards Skinny Monkey embedded in the wall.
The others uniformly and quickly shook their heads.
"Clean up this bed for me. I want to sleep here," Li Chenqiu pointed to Zhang Dalong's bed.
Under Li Chenqiu's supervision, Zhang Dalong's bed was renovated in no time, no less luxurious than the beds in those big hotels.
Li Chenqiu touched the soft bedding and sat down with satisfaction.
"To make sure you sleep more comfortably tonight, I specially added my mattress for you. Are you satisfied?" Xu Hong fawned with a smile.
Li Chenqiu nodded: "It's okay, thank you."
"No, no, it's all I should do," Xu Hong waved his hand.
"Actually, I'm a peace-loving person. If you guys are well-behaved, I won't bother teaching you the rules, so you must be good, understand?" Li Chenqiu revealed a friendly smile.
The burly man, his head covered in blood from Li Chenqiu's beating, responded with a smile: "Understood, understood."
Li Chenqiu took out his contribution card from his pocket and asked, "How do you transfer contribution points between two contribution cards?"
As soon as he said this, the expressions on the faces of the others instantly fell.
They weren't fools, and they naturally knew what Li Chenqiu wanted to do.
"What's wrong? Don't know?" Li Chenqiu stood up with a smile: "Looks like you want me to share the love equally!"
The burly man, afraid of being pressed into the bed board by Li Chenqiu again, hurriedly explained, "Just put the two cards together!"
"Oh~" Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows and reached out to the burly man.
The burly man gritted his teeth, took out his contribution card from his pocket, and handed it to Li Chenqiu.
Li Chenqiu took the card voluntarily given by the other party and put the two cards together.
Buzz buzz~
Along with a faint buzzing sound, three rows of small red characters appeared on the black card.
[Main Account Li Chenqiu: 1000]
[Huang Zhen: 3412]
[Transfer In or Transfer Out]
Li Chenqiu didn't hesitate to click "Transfer In."
Buzz buzz~
A number input box appeared below the card.
"Big brother, don't! Leave me some, I haven't paid my rent this month~" The burly man begged, hugging Li Chenqiu's leg.
"Work hard, pressure creates motivation," Li Chenqiu comforted with a smile, swiping away all of Huang Zhen's contribution points in front of his face.
In the following time, Li Chenqiu repeated this operation four times, and everyone except the youth who didn't make a move was harvested.
After doing all this, Li Chenqiu's contribution points reached 13899.
At this moment, he understood that the real way to make money is always so simple and unadorned, requiring only a few targets and a pair of fists.
Li Chenqiu walked to the youth wearing a mask: "Can you take me to Zone Four?"
The youth on the bed was stunned for a moment, recovering from his shock, and said softly, "Yes."
...
Outside the cell door, a group of people pressed their ears against the walls or doors.
"Hey, the commotion was quite loud just now, why is it quiet now?"
"I don't know, was the new prisoner beaten to death?"
"Zhang Dalong is considered an old-timer. How could he not know that killing is forbidden here!"
"That's right, did you guys hear a scream just now?"
"I heard it, it sounded a bit like Zhang Dalong's voice?"
"You must be hallucinating. Zhang Dalong just broke through the Third Restriction a day ago. It couldn't possibly be him!"
Click—
The cell door was forcibly pulled open from the inside, scaring the prisoners into retreating, all casting curious glances.
Under everyone's gaze, a neatly dressed Li Chenqiu slowly walked out, followed closely by the youth wearing a mask.
"People really like to gossip!" Li Chenqiu said with a smile, taking the youth downstairs.
The prisoners looked at Li Chenqiu's departing back, their eyes filled with a hint of doubt and surprise.
"How… how did this kid come out?"
"Wasn't he the one who got beaten?"
Someone walked to the cell door and carefully pushed it open.
Creak~
The door opened.
The people around stretched their heads to look inside.
When they saw the specific situation inside the cell, their pupils couldn't help but tremble.
"This… what's going on?"
