Chapter 65: Old Lady’s Betting Big

  Zhang Yang had played Fight the Landlord before and was quite decent at it, but clearly, compared to playing with these two beauties, he was way out of his league.

  He didn’t know if their IQs were all spent on this game, but after only eleven rounds, Zhang Yang was left wearing only two pieces on his lower body. In other words, his two tops were gone—he’d lost ten out of eleven rounds.

  Now he could only cling to the quilt, shivering while continuing to play with these two crazy women. Damn, it’s late autumn already, sis!

  As for the opponents—Lulu was wearing a red V-neck T-shirt, a purple vest, a purple miniskirt, and a matching set of purple lace underwear, and if black stockings counted, that made six pieces total.

  Gao Qi, on the other hand, was even more ridiculous—gray cotton shirt, white round-neck T-shirt, denim hot pants, black stockings, and a scarf around her neck. Counting her underwear, she had one more piece than Lulu.

  One had six, the other seven, while Zhang Yang only had two. It was already a foregone conclusion, and considering he’d lost ten out of eleven rounds, those last two pieces probably wouldn’t last until dawn.

  “I protest! I only have four pieces total, and you two have six and seven. That’s straight-up bullying.” After losing another round, Zhang Yang couldn’t help but voice his complaint.

  But his small protest was quickly crushed by the two women.

  “Shut up. When your clothes are all gone, you can pluck some hair instead. Lose five rounds, pluck ten strands, that’s fair enough.” Gao Qi stared mischievously at a certain part of Zhang Yang and shouted arrogantly.

  Xu Danlu, meanwhile, was secretly delighted, making no attempt to intervene.

  Zhang Yang followed her gaze downward, instinctively covered his important part, and asked speechlessly, “You’re not talking about plucking the hair there, are you?”

  “Nonsense! You think I meant your head? I can yank out a handful at once!” Gao Qi snapped angrily.

  Zhang Yang was pissed. This woman… He only had fourteen system points! If he had fifty, he’d immediately apply for emergency assistance, get himself a card master skill, and win until she had all her hair plucked off down there.

  “Hurry up and play your cards!” Seeing Zhang Yang’s helpless expression, Gao Qi felt extremely pleased and poked his ribs, urging him to play.

  Zhang Yang looked at his cards—he was the landlord this round, but damn, this hand was trash, like a string of phone numbers.

  “Uh, it’s past two.” Xu Danlu glanced at the TV and said casually.

  Past two? Zhang Yang thought this was a good chance to stop playing, but just then, the long-silent system voice suddenly spoke again.

  【Nuwa System loading. Twelve hours remaining until one-month cycle completion. System data updating. Zhang Yang, Preparatory Savior! Main mission success rate: 0.3 PPM. Completed authorized M-level missions: 2. System points: 14. Title: Promising Youth. Physical index: 65 points. Luck index: 0. Maximum value: 100. Based on current points, 1 index point awarded, freely assignable to Physical or Luck.】

  There’s even a monthly reward? Zhang Yang remembered when the system first loaded, his success rate was only 0.005 PPM, and now it was 0.3 PPM—a qualitative leap!

  But the luck index was zero?

  What kind of cursed bastard ends up with zero luck?

  So that’s where the problem was—his luck was garbage. No wonder doing good deeds was so hard, even his cards looked like phone numbers.

  His physical stats were fine, and with sixty-five points, one more wouldn’t change much, so without hesitation, he added the bonus point to luck.

  Even if it’s just one point, at least it’s like getting a semi-transparent pair of briefs!

  After adding the point, Zhang Yang didn’t feel any change. His hand was still all phone numbers, and since he was the landlord, naturally he lost again. After four more losses, he’d have to take off his pants!

  Next round, Gao Qi became the landlord. Zhang Yang’s hand was still trash. He thought for sure he’d lose his pants this time, but Gao Qi was defeated by Xu Danlu instead. Gao Qi only smiled disdainfully and said to Zhang Yang, “Too early to celebrate. That’s just one round. Even counting the one before, that’s only two—and they were both thanks to your Lulu. If you wanna see me strip, you’ll need to win three more.”

  Zhang Yang glanced at her silently. Was this the effect of his luck stat? Even with a crappy hand, he still won.

  In the next round, the stubborn Gao Qi grabbed the landlord position again, but this time, Zhang Yang’s cards were noticeably better. After a hard struggle, he managed to beat her once more.

  “You lucky bastard! Fine, next round I’ll grab it again. Let’s see if you can keep winning!” Gao Qi said irritably, her stubbornness flaring up.

  Sure enough, she grabbed the landlord position again despite having bad cards, and got completely wrecked by Xu Danlu.

  “Damn it, I don’t believe this!” Gao Qi rolled up her sleeves, clearly about to go all in again, but despite her shouting, the landlord position landed in Xu Danlu’s hands.

  Zhang Yang’s hand was good—he could’ve easily taken down Xu Danlu, but just to make Gao Qi strip, he deliberately held back, pressing Gao Qi’s cards hard instead.

  Gao Qi kicked at Zhang Yang in anger, but still ended up losing the fifth round by five cards.

  “Hmph! A pair of cheating lovebirds teaming up on me!” Gao Qi slammed her cards on the bed, glared at Zhang Yang, then smirked wickedly. “Fine, I’ll take it off. It’s just one piece anyway.”

  She swiftly took off her gray cotton shirt. Fortunately, she didn’t count the scarf as a piece.

  With the outer shirt gone, she was left wearing only a white round-neck T-shirt. Her fiery figure immediately showed through—the bulging peaks stretched the thin fabric as if it would tear any moment, making one’s mouth water. Maybe it was the alcohol, but Zhang Yang felt something stirring below.

  Feeling cold after taking off her shirt, Gao Qi turned on the heater and crawled back into bed, shouting arrogantly, “Keep going! Big sis is about to go wild!”

  The three of them played another seven rounds like maniacs, and to Zhang Yang’s surprise, Gao Qi lost five and Xu Danlu two.

  Zhang Yang didn’t lose a single one. Just one point in luck made that much difference? Nuwa System, my dear mother, if you’d given me this earlier, Gao Qi’s fine body would’ve been bare long ago!

  Gao Qi was losing her mind, yelling that Xu Danlu and Zhang Yang were cheating, but she had no evidence. Finally, with nothing left to lose, she jumped off the bed and shouted, “Fine! I’ll strip! I don’t believe your two pairs of pants will last till morning!”

  She looked at Zhang Yang, then at Xu Danlu, lifted her hands slowly to the hem of her T-shirt, tugged it upward until a bit of her pale belly showed, then grinned wickedly and dropped it back down. “Ha, drooling yet?”

  Then, out of nowhere, she pulled out a pair of scissors and cut off her stockings right in front of Zhang Yang and Xu Danlu.

  “Here, big sis’s black stockings—still warm! Want them?” She dangled the cut stockings between her thumb and forefinger, waving them shamelessly in front of Zhang Yang.

  Zhang Yang glanced speechlessly at Xu Danlu, but she completely ignored him, staring straight at Gao Qi’s white thighs, her little red tongue licking her lips. There’s no way she’s not into girls, Zhang Yang thought.

  But to be fair, Gao Qi’s thighs really were flawless—smooth, white, tender, and under the light, faint blue veins could even be seen beneath the skin.

  Gao Qi seemed to notice the strange looks from Zhang Yang and Xu Danlu. Instead of being angry, she smiled proudly. “Keep playing, keep playing! Don’t just stare at my thighs. If you’ve got the guts to strip my pants, I’ll let you check out what’s under them too.”
