"Brother Qin, I heard from the guys downstairs that your move was incredible. You can take wreaths, paper money, and even a coffin to someone else's wedding—haha!"
This was said in a private KTV room inside the East Suburb Entertainment City, at 888.
A man in his forties, with a square face and bold expression, held a glass of wine as he spoke to Qin Xiao.
His name was Shi Aiguo—a rather ordinary name that seemed almost comical—but in the entire underworld of the magical city, he enjoyed immense prestige.
The environment had grown increasingly ruthless. Any so-called "big brother" who couldn't withstand public scrutiny usually ended up on the run or in prison.
Amid such conditions, Shi Aiguo had managed to navigate the gray areas and build such a massive entertainment city.
In a diverse society like this, he was undoubtedly a highly capable and intelligent individual.
On that day, Qin Xiao had made two million in one swoop. As long as he didn't fight or hurt anyone, even gathering a crowd to cause a scene wasn't a big deal.
Everyone was pleased; the day went smoothly, and the money rolled in.
Moreover, the two million was just the beginning.
"Shi Ge, thanks to you, my brothers were so efficient and performed so well! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to put on such a great show!"
"It's just taking other people's money—I'm being too polite!"
Shi Aiguo smiled, raised his glass, and tapped it against Qin Xiao's. "Brother, that coffin didn't make things easy for them. My guys retrieved it. What do you want them to do with it? Send it to me, or melt it down into gold bars for you?"
Shi Aiguo's service was thorough.
Qin Xiao didn't act arrogantly, nor did he treat this as a one-time transaction. He waved his hand.
"Once something is sent, there's no reason to take it back. The coffin, the wealth, the so-called promotion… Since those two scoundrels didn't get to enjoy it, Shi Ge, if you don't mind, you can compensate for the hard work of you and your brothers."
Honestly, when they first met, he had already handed over two million as a meeting gift.
He originally thought that after this matter was settled, the total loss would be at most a few hundred thousand. This should count as the fruit of the brothers' hard work.
There would inevitably be more matters to handle in the future, but this one step cost tens of millions. If Shi Aiguo had reached this point, his ability to manage money was formidable.
So little work for so much money—how could he feel at ease?
"Brother, let's not be sneaky. I'm still alive in this world, not lying in a coffin. Even if someone were inside, I wouldn't care. Today, I only did a small thing for my brothers. Son, this gift is enough. If a huge block of gold fell on me, I probably couldn't catch it!"
"As an entertainment city, it probably isn't worth hundreds of millions. At most, a few tens of millions, right?"
Qin Xiao gestured to the lavish surroundings.
"Hey! Brother, I'm not that capable. Don't be fooled by how easily we make money—we support a lot of brothers and have to look after them. There's not actually much cash in my pocket. This is just a small part of the boss's private life. In the industry, I just help run their business, act as a watchdog. They don't care about my background, so they give me tasks!"
Shi Aiguo was frank, speaking directly without hiding anything.
"Good! Since Shi Ge is so happy, I won't pretend. I don't want to rely on my family; I want to develop my career in this magical city. But I know nothing about it—I need someone to guide me and someone to protect me!"
Although Qin Xiao didn't explain exactly what he intended, it was certainly not anything "proper." He simply needed someone to run errands and find contacts nearby.
Having someone reliable to solve problems would be extremely helpful in the magical city, where he had no friends. For example, he couldn't have rented a Ferrari convoy without Shi Aiguo's initiative.
Having such a competent and discreet local "snake" made everything much easier.
The conversation between them was candid, and Shi Aiguo felt relieved.
Regarding the gold coffin, he only mentioned that it could be exchanged at a discount for a membership card, allowing Qin Xiao to come and consume anytime.
It was just another way to leave a backdoor open. Qin Xiao didn't mind; there would be plenty of opportunities later, and he could take it slowly.
Shi Aiguo also helped Qin Xiao find lawyers for the troubles with Guo Xinliang and Qu Fang.
In exchange, Qin Xiao agreed not to prosecute the two individuals involved, provided they returned the company shares and compensated him.
As for Qin Xiao's injuries, they naturally did not dare pursue that.
Under the watchful eye of Shi Aiguo, it quickly became clear how much money the two had.
Apart from the company shares, the compensation amount was nearly all of their remaining assets.
They ended up with nothing and were in debt. The events at the wedding ruined their reputation—they could no longer remain in the magical city.
Shi Aiguo, still concerned that Qin Xiao might not be satisfied, whispered a few words mysteriously after drinking:
"Car accidents, drowning, all kinds of accidents—even if two HIV patients seduce the couple, it's fine? Betraying your brothers to seduce your sister-in-law—I can't stand this kind of double-dealing bastard!"
Qin Xiao shook his head with a smile, satisfied as long as they no longer appeared before him.
Since things had developed this way, the two accustomed to luxurious living would end up with a life worse than dogs.
He could come here and acquire this system, partly thanks to them.
There was no need to kill them all.
Originally, Qin Xiao had no interest in the company shares. After acquiring them, he sold them to a venture capital firm at a low price.
He initially invested five million in the company. After selling the shares, he obtained over eighty million in cash.
Overall, this was already a huge profit, and he had recovered a lot of money he had spent freely during this period.
After handling these trivial matters, Qin Xiao began asking Shi Aiguo to help him find a location in the city. He planned to start a high-tech company.
Using AI designed by Tony, he aimed to break into the market and establish a foothold in the magical city.
Site selection, registration, recruitment—all were handled by a headhunting company. Qin Xiao suddenly found himself with nothing to do.
It had been over twenty days since he returned, and he now had enough energy to travel again.
Bored, Qin Xiao began asking questions about the system:
"If we travel again, do we still need to advance the storyline to a certain stage before returning?"
"Yes. The Marvel world requires progress through a major plotline before the host can choose to return."
"System, in the future, could I freely switch between the Marvel world and the real world?"
"Insufficient permissions. I can only inform the host that this restriction will likely change in the future, but it will be difficult to alter at will. As the host's power grows, the specifics will naturally become clear."
"Okay!"
Qin Xiao nodded and continued on his way.
