"You're crazy!" Zhou Kai was stunned and said: "At this point, you still won't give up?"

"It's not that I won't give up, I can't give up!" Liu Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "I'm about to become a top-tier distributor. Just as I achieve that, I'll immediately get ten million and forty thousand yuan."

Just as Zhou Kai was getting ready to curse out loud, suddenly, Lin Chuan said: "Liu Cheng, tell me, how much more money do you need to become a top-tier distributor?"

"Five hundred and eighty thousand!" Liu Cheng quickly looked at Lin Chuan, as if he had seized a lifeline, and eagerly said: "I just need to recruit ten more people to get the opportunity to become a top-tier distributor. Each costs sixty-nine thousand eight hundred, and I'll get a return of nineteen thousand..."

"Fine, then I will lend you five hundred and eighty thousand." Lin Chuan smiled.

"Big Brother Chuan, are you crazy too?" Zhou Kai hurriedly said.

"No, this is a loan to him." Lin Chuan said with a smile: "If he really becomes a top-tier distributor and gets the ten million and forty thousand yuan, then he only needs to pay me back the five hundred and eighty thousand with interest. But, if he doesn't succeed, doesn't get the ten million and forty thousand, then he owes me five hundred and eighty thousand, and he has to honestly come work for me, earn money, and pay me back."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Liu Cheng was overjoyed and said: "No problem."

"Let's go, pay the money now!" Lin Chuan said with a smile.

The corners of Liu Cheng's mouth turned up, and he immediately became excited, hastening to say: "Uh... Big Brother Chuan, Kai, could you give me some money for food? I... haven't eaten in two days."

Zhou Kai and the others looked at each other, dumbfounded. Not eaten for two days? Still dreaming of ten million and forty thousand yuan. How screwed up is his brain?

Lin Chuan didn't hesitate and gave him a hundred yuan. Seeing this, Liu Cheng was instantly excited and hurried into a Lanzhou noodle restaurant, ordering two bowls of sliced noodles and two scallion pancakes.

After not eating for two days, he indeed ate like a savage, ravishingly expanding his stomach. After wolfing down two bowls of sliced noodles and two scallion pancakes, Liu Cheng let out several satisfied belches.

"Eaten your fill?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Yes, I've eaten my fill." Liu Cheng hurriedly returned the few tens of yuan left from the meal to Lin Chuan, saying: "Big Brother Chuan, it's refreshing to deal with someone like you."

"Are you saying that I am not refreshing to deal with?" Zhou Kai asked.

"You?" Liu Cheng glanced sidelong at Zhou Kai and said: "You're just unpleasant. Betting five hundred and eighty thousand for a chance at ten million and forty thousand, isn't it exciting? You just refuse to do it. Big Brother Chuan, at a glance, is someone who does big things. You punk are destined to be a lackey all your life."

"You!" Zhou Kai was furious.

"Don't get angry." Lin Chuan quickly stopped Zhou Kai, saying: "Later, you also take a look at how he makes the ten million and forty thousand yuan."

After a full meal, Liu Cheng hurriedly led several people toward the bank.

Upon arriving at the bank, he carefully took out a plastic bag full of water from his pocket, which was stuffed full of documents that were carefully maintained. Although Liu Cheng was filthy, these documents were spotlessly clean.

The bank staff, upon hearing the deposit of sixty-nine thousand eight hundred, gave a look as if they were staring at an idiot, but said nothing.

Dividing the amount per person, Liu Cheng took out more than ten photocopies of identity cards from his document bag and then deposited the money one by one.

After completing the last one, Liu Cheng was thrilled.

"I f****** made it to top-tier distributor." Liu Cheng was uncontrollably excited.

"You've become a top-tier distributor, so where do we go to collect the money now?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Come on, I'll take you guys right now!" Liu Cheng was elated.

He immediately led the group towards a residential complex. The group drove there. Zhou Kai was determined to bring this kid back to his senses today.

Before long, Liu Cheng and the group entered a brand new residential complex. It was a high-end community with excellent amenities – clearly a place for the affluent. Liu Cheng deftly entered one of the building units and dashed straight to the third floor.

Thump thump thump...

Liu Cheng knocked on the door forcefully.

The door opened, and a tall man appeared. He wore a black T-shirt, had a dragon tattooed on his arm, and a bald head. He asked: "Liu Cheng, you damn kid, you're back? What do you want from me?"

"Hehe, Mr. Chen, I've completed the task." Liu Cheng excitedly said: "I can now become a top-tier distributor."

"Really?" The man was startled, and quickly checked his phone, indeed receiving a series of transfers. He then laughed and said: "Haha, you're quite impressive, lad. Well done, well done, the youth are to be feared. Congratulations on making it to top-tier distributor, now you can go back and have a good celebration with them."

The man hurriedly turned around to go back into the room, then started packing his bags.

"Mr. Chen, then... where's my 10.04 million?" Liu Cheng hurriedly followed into the room.

"What 10.04 million?" The man looked at Liu Cheng, puzzled.

"On the first day of joining, didn't we agree that once you become a boss, you can get 10.04 million?" Liu Cheng quickly said.

"Are you insane?" The man burst out laughing upon hearing this and said, "That was nothing but a scam, and I can't believe you actually fell for it?"

"What?!" Liu Cheng immediately collapsed to the ground.

The man hurriedly packed his things and laughed, "Liu Cheng, are you stupid? Let me tell you now, this whole thing is a scam. It's a colossal scam, one that the local government turns a blind eye to, defended by a protective umbrella. You became the boss, alright, I'll give you this boss's position right now. To tell you the truth, I don't have 10.04 million in my account either. There's only a little over two million, and I'm going to take that and run."

"Wait!" Liu Cheng shouted angrily, "You deceived me?"

"It wasn't me who deceived you." The bald man laughed, "I was also deceived. I invested millions into this, and now getting back a little over two million, I barely broke even. Liu Cheng, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You eye other people's money, they eye yours. Never try to team up with robbers to steal money. This is a life's truth, some experiential wisdom I've summed up."

"You!" Fire flared in Liu Cheng's eyes.

"Don't be melodramatic. If you really want to make money, or want to break even, just sit tightly in the boss's chair," the bald man smiled, "Then recruit more people to join. Eventually, you can make money too. At worst, you break even like me. Of course, if you're unlucky, this boss might end up with nothing."

After saying that, the bald man quickly grabbed his luggage, ready to leave.

"Stop right there!" Liu Cheng roared, "You can't go."

"As if you could stop me?" The bald man coldly sneered, pulling out a baseball bat from his luggage, his face twisted with ferocity, "With just a few of you, you're hardly a match for me!"

"I'm going to fight you, damn it." Liu Cheng swung a chair fiercely and hurled it at the other party.

The man dodged to the side, easily avoiding Liu Cheng's attack, and with the baseball bat in his hand, he viciously struck Liu Cheng.

At this moment, Liu Cheng was in a state of frenzy, having finally come to a sudden realization that all this was nothing but a scam. All of it, damn it, was deceiving. He couldn't accept this. He vented all the anger and grievance in his heart.

Bang...

The aluminum baseball bat hit Liu Cheng's head hard, but regardless, Liu Cheng recklessly charged at the other party.

Bang...

Liu Cheng, with his bloody head, furiously rammed into the man's abdomen.

Thump...

The bald man instantly cried out in pain. Under Liu Cheng's relentless and furious attack, he sensed something was wrong. Clutching the aluminum bat, he violently struck at Liu Cheng's back.

But Liu Cheng refused to let go, grabbing the other man's neck and biting down ferociously.

"F*ck your grandpa, it hurts... it's killing me." The bald man screamed in panic, hastily dropping the baseball bat and forcefully pushing Liu Cheng away.

The bald man scrambled to his feet, cursing, "Madman, you're a f*cking madman, an absolute madman."

With that, the bald man clutching his neck then quickly fled with his luggage.

Lin Chuan did not intercept the man, and as for the fact that he ran off with his several hundred thousand, he felt no reaction at all. Liu Cheng lay on the ground, his eyes dull, his expression pale. He seemed almost completely devoid of spirit, his head bloodied, with a pool of blood on the ground.

"Brother Chuan, this..." Zhou Kai hurriedly said, "Is this okay?"

"It's fine, he won't die." Lin Chuan shook his head.

"I'm just afraid there'll be trouble." Zhou Kai looked helpless.

"Don't worry." Lin Chuan took a drag of his cigarette, then walked slowly towards Liu Cheng, saying, "Liu Cheng, do you understand now? All this was just a scam. Of course, if you wish to continue with the deception, that's not impossible. But, one day, when everyone wakes up, that will be the day of your doom. You've conned them into ruin, into broken homes and lives. They would want nothing more than to flay your skin, eat your flesh, drink your blood..."

"No!" Liu Cheng shook his head and said, "I won't continue the deception, I'm awake now."

"Really?" Zhou Kai asked eagerly, "You've finally come to your senses, kid. Of course, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Just hang with Brother Chuan, and you won't be short of benefits. There'll be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future, right? The most important thing is for us brothers to stick together, to share meat and drink together. Isn't that the happiest thing in life? Right?"

Liu Cheng smiled and said, "That's right, but please give me one day. I need to go and apologize to those I've deceived. I want to explain it to them personally, so they too can wake up."

"Alright, we'll give you one day," Lin Chuan nodded and said, "But they've been brainwashed, so don't expect a 100% success rate. If half of them wake up, that'd be good enough."
