Lin Xi thinks today has to be his lucky day.
He won three rounds in a row.
Half a month ago, his buddy sent him more than a dozen voice messages, each a full 60 seconds long, crying about how an old con artist had swindled him out of two purple-tier items in the game Ember's End. He'd blown half a year's allowance on them.
Lin Xi spent half a month plotting.
Early this morning, he finally got his revenge, swindling a rare orange-tier item from the old con artist. Only ten existed across the entire server, and it was worth twenty times as much as a purple-tier item.
Then came the insults, the block, and logging off. The whole package.
He spent half the night imagining the con artist beating his chest in regret, chuckling to himself and almost losing sleep.
At noon, Lin Xi casually opened the chat group for the Unknown Art Society and saw a master post a picture.
The comments underneath were full of praise: "A masterpiece!" "Everything a master does is on another level!" "That lighting is incredible..."
Lin Xi opened the full-size image and looked at it for three seconds.
Hah. The composition was a mess, and the lighting was completely broken.
He sent over an eight-hundred-word takedown, tearing apart every flaw from perspective to color, with cutting language and an arrogant attitude.
By the time he finished, he was wide awake, all the exhaustion from his sleepless night gone!
What kind of so-called master was this? Lin Xi specialized in dealing with pretentious show-offs hiding behind screens.
So satisfying!!!
At noon, Lin Xi had no idea that the real badass was the Lin Xi of that evening.
His friends had arranged a get-together, so he went to Half Face, a gay bar.
A suited-up customer mistook him for a male escort and offered to pay to sleep with him.
Lin Xi took offense, so he decided to play along. He took the money, straddled the man's lap, hooked an arm around his neck, and felt the man's body go from stiff to burning hot as he listened to his breathing grow more and more uneven.
Just as the man finally couldn't take it anymore and reached out to get his hands on him, Lin Xi patted himself down and left, leaving the man alone, parched with desire.
He'd taken down three old geezers in one day. He was so damn awesome!
In a great mood, Lin Xi wished all three geezers a run of bad luck, then casually sent his resume to an architectural design firm.
Fu Chengxiao never imagined that the words "a run of bad luck" could land so precisely on him.
First, he'd lent his Ember's End account to a relative for a few days, only to come back and run into a high-level scammer.
The guy had taken one of his orange-tier items at one in the morning, but that wasn't the worst of it. He'd also filled an entire chat window with filthy insults!
Calling him a shameless old geezer.
During his midday break, Fu Chengxiao casually shared one of his subordinate's paintings in the Unknown Art Society chat group, intending to discuss its shortcomings.
But a lunatic suddenly barged in with an eight-hundred-word essay, pointing out every flaw in the painting with cutting language and an arrogant attitude.
He even called Fu Chengxiao a fake "master," a pretentious old geezer who tricked people.
After a frustrating day, Fu Chengxiao went to Half Face, a gay bar, to unwind.
He met a male escort wearing a mask over the upper half of his face. The lower half was so beautiful that Fu Chengxiao broke his own rules.
The aloof, abstinent Fu Chengxiao had, for the first time in his life, hired someone and paid up. But the guy took the money and didn't deliver, teasing him until he could barely hold back before turning and running off.
He went home and took a cold shower for half an hour.
After three consecutive blows, Fu Chengxiao started going through resumes with a dark look on his face.
Then he saw the ID photo on one of the resumes.
That neat, handsome chin was a perfect match for the con artist who had turned and walked away in his memory.
His lips slowly curled into a smile.
