Chapter 1688: Perfect Victory
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
At Chen Xiaobei's cue, the group began slinging Red Envelopes.
One could only imagine how agitated Shen Gongpao must have been at this point.
He thought that he had gotten Chen Xiaobei this time and that he was finally bringing Chen Xiaobei to his knees!
He even openly mocked Chen Xiaobei, and ragged on him without restraint, attacking him at point-blank!
His victory only lasted a few minutes, however, when Chen Xiaobei counterattacked him, causing him to go from victor to loser in a short few moments. Shen Gongpao's misdemeanor had ended up a flop!
His every insult and jibes came back to slap him hard in the face!
Of course, right now, Chen Xiaobei had no time to concern himself with Shen Gongpao's feelings. Red Envelopes were pouring in like rain - it was another season of bountiful harvest!
Ding!
[Congratulations! You snatched Monkey King's Red Envelope. 1,000 jin of Green-Wood Spiritual Crystal has been stored inside your treasure chest]
"Green-Wood Spiritual Crystal?" Chen Xiaobei gasped. "I got a Green-Wood Spiritual Crystal from Yanwang last time! That was a type of Earth-God grade material! This Green-Wood Spiritual Crystal must be the same grade of material! Haha... Increasing my luck was not a waste of effort at all - the first Red Envelope I got contains exactly what I need!"
Right before the Red Envelope Snatching session, Chen Xiaobei received 500,000 merit points. Correspondingly, his luck was increased, coming in just at the nick of time.
"But Monkey King is so generous! He put in 1,000 jin! Once I've submitted the materials for the contest, I will have still 900 jin left for myself! Sweet!"
Chen Xiaobei was very excited.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You received Zhinu's Red Envelope. Three bolts of Milky Way Patterned Cloth have been stored inside your treasure chest!]
"Double-kill!" Chen Xiaobei nearly screamed. "Milky Way Patterned Cloth? I can tell by the name that this is at least an Earth-God grade item! Awesome..."
Ding!
[Congratulations! You received Niu Lang's Red Envelope. One piece of Magpie Bridge's Light has been stored inside your treasure chest!
"Triple-kill! Nice nice nice! Chen Xiaobei was so happy he could not keep his mouth closed. "What is Magpie Bridge's Light? If it's a light, then why is it counted in a piece? So strange..."
Ding!
Congratulations! You received Yanwang's Red Envelope. One piece of Abyssal Enigmatic Jade has been stored inside your treasure chest!
"What in the world! Quadruple-kill!" Chen Xiaobei was practically jumping out of his seat. "An Abyssal Enigmatic Jade? Why would Yanwang send this kind of thing? Haven't I told him already to only send Earth-God materials? This is still good. I already have enough Earth-God materials anyway. It's a good time to get something else!"
Ding!
[Congratulations! You received Xiao Tianquan's Red Envelope. The formula for high-tier Heavenly Dog Biscuits has been stored inside your treasure chest!]
"Quintuple-kill!" Chen Xiaobei cried. "That's strange! Why didn't Xiao Tianquan send any Earth-God materials either? I've told them beforehand! Also, how did he know that I am in urgent need of upgrading the Heavenly Dog Biscuits? This Red Envelope sure came at the perfect time!"
Ding!
Congratulations! You received Princess Iron Fan's Red Envelope. The three pieces of Sanmei True-Fire Talismans have been stored inside your treasure chest!
"Sextuple-kill! Six six six..." Chen Xiaobei was beside himself. "Princess Iron Fan is Hong Hai'er's birth mother! These three talismans will probably be able to unleash the real Sanmei True-Fire. Not only can they be used to craft items, but they can be also used to attack! This is freaking awesome!"
Ding!
[Congratulations! You received Bull Demon King's Red Envelope. A Thousand Beasts Ring has been stored inside your treasure chest!]
"What in the world?! Septuple-kill!" Chen Xiaobei leaped. "I have not had such an awesome time during Red Envelope snatching sessions for a long time now! Thousand Beasts Ring! Another really good piece of treasure!"
Finally, as Chen Xiaobei completed his septuple-kill, the snatching session also gradually drew to a close.
This time, because of the ridiculous rule Shen Gongpao set forbidding singletons to join the session, the number of Red Envelopes given out was obviously low. Many of the single members of the group did not give any Red Envelopes.
But at the same time, because the singletons were unable to join the session, Chen Xiaobei received more Red Envelopes than usual.
Chen Xiaobei: Brother Shen! I really have to thank you! If it were not for that rule of yours, I would not have been able to complete a septuple-kill!
Shen Gongpao: Good for you! 😡😳😤
Bull Demon King: What?! God Chen! You got seven Red Envelopes?! My two wives and I only got five all together!
Wei Xiaobao: You don't say! My eight wives and I only got six in total! This group of unlucky biddies! I'll give them a good scolding when I get home!
Niu Lang: God Chen is incredible! He's the king of luck again this time! Oh, I'm so jealous!
Zhinu: Not only that, he also went public with his relationship with Goddess Chang'e! Love Red Envelopes, double yield! God Chen is a winner in life!
Chen Xiaobei: Haha, thank you, everyone, for your good wishes and Red Envelopes! If there's nothing else, I have to go talk to my Chang'e meimei in private!
Shen Gongpao: Hold on! Don't think you can get away that easily!
Chen Xiaobei: What is it? Do you anything to add, shixiong Shen?
Shen Gongpao: I was nearly muddled by my anger with you! Deities and mortals are not allowed to be romantically involved! Your relationship with Chang'e is against the law of heaven! The both of you have broken the law! You must be punished severely!
Chen Xiaobei: I think you are muddled! Niu Lang and Zhinu are deity-mortal lovers. Queen Mother ordered them to live separately! They could meet once every year on the magpie bridge! My Chang'e meimei and I - we don't even know when we will ever be able to meet face to face. Isn't this cruel punishment already enough?
Shen Gongpao: That...😶
Chen Xiaobei: Queen Mother is the head of all goddesses, and she will not punish Chang'e meimei! As for me, the Prime of Tongtian is my Sifu! I dare you to punish me!
Shen Gongpao: You... Just you wait! I will go consult your Sifu!
Chen Xiaobei: Shixiong Shen! Don't you forget that today is the Qixi festival! You should not be trying to break up lovers!
Chen Xiaobei: I'm willing to bet that not only would you not be able to consult the Prime of Tongtian, but you would also be given a good rollicking! Don't forget that all the saints are together now!
Shen Gongpao: This... This...
Chen Xiaobei: You better think about it carefully. If you want to get an earful anyway, I won't get myself involved then!
Chen Xiaobei was sure that Shen Gongpao would not do anything stupid. He exited the group chat and entered the Brotherhood group chat.
Chen Xiaobei: Brothers! I'm back! Hahaha...
Monkey King: You really are cunning! 😏 That idiot Shen Gongpao must be choleric!
Chen Xiaobei: That's right! I won again, again, again, and again! But today's victory is all thanks to one person - @Goddesschang'e!
