Chapter 119: Becoming a Tycoon! (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Right after the competition, Lou Yu was called away by Ji Anguo’s people.
“Grandpa.” called Lou Yu endearingly.
Ji Anguo looked at Lou Yu with all gratification in his eyes, “You did a good job about the bet thing.”
Lou Yu smiled, “I just saw the odds were pretty high and I was confident in Su Rong, so I placed a big bet on it. Never expected Su Rong would really win.”
Ji Anguo cast a glance at Su Qi, saying, “Su Qi, it’s all thanks to Su Rong. Your grandson really did a great job.”
Su Qi laughed, “Oh, general, you really flatter me. My grandson is just a little lucky, and with the guidance of Prince Yu. If it hadn’t been his help, Su Rong would have never had a chance to win.” Though he was being modest, actually one could tell the undisguised pride in his eyes.
Ji Anguo smiled a bit coldly, “This time you have scooped a big sum of money out of Skywind casino, that woman in the palace would be heartbroken.”
Lou Yu said flatly, “That’s a sure thing.” Na Lanyue also had a share in the casino. It was really a lot of money they had to pay this time! It was said Na Lanyu smashed everything in her room after she knew Su Rong won.”
Su Rong sat in the star car and finally put his hanging heart down. But once his heart was hung down, Su Rong started to have a bee in his head.
He now felt a bit regretful: Prince Yu, Mo Fei and Mo Yi all made a fortune through his win while he himself was still a pauper. Why hadn’t he placed a huge bet on himself ahead? Though his hands were a bit tight and only a few million left, the oods was 1:30! That was a Pretty respectable income! What a loss! What a great loss!
The more Su Rong thought about it, the more grieved he felt and nearly cried out.
Mo Fei looked at Su Rong, eyes blinking, asked him out of curiosity, “Su Rong, you won! Why are you still looking so down?”
Su Rong then wore a fawning smile at Mo Fei, “Lord Mo Fei, you see, I nearly lost my balls to win this match. Shouldn’t you give me some reward?”
Mo Fei gave him a smile, and immediately darkened his face, and scolded him, “You used my level-promotion potion and even took a lot of my healing potions, which made me hang up in there for quite a few days! Now you even dare to ask for your reward? You wish!”

Su Rong, “...”
Mo Yi gave Su Rong a look and said, “Young master, anyway Su Rong has also done his part. Maybe you should reward him a little.”
On hearing Mo Yi’s words, Su Rong nodded hard approvingly, “Yes, yes, Lord Mo Fei, give me some reward anyway. Just take it as doing some charity!”
Looking at Su Rong’s fawning face, Mo Yi could only take out a cultivation formation, “This is for you.”
Su Rong felt extremely flattered, holding the formation tightly, only afraid that Mo Fei would take back his words, “Thank you, Lord Mo Fei. Thank you so much!”
Mo Fei said while touching his chin, “Yan Chen told me yesterday all gambling houses have received great sums of money placing the bet on you to win. It’s about 5 billion in total. Is that you?”
Su Rong shook his head, “It’s not me. It’s Prince Yu.”
“Lou Yu? He is really shameless who gets a bargain!” Mo Fei said enviously. When he placed the bet, the odds were only 1:10. But when Lou Yu placed the bet, it had already risen to 1:30! So after some calculation, he only earned a fraction of Lou Yu!
Mo Fei gritted his teeth, thinking resentfully, “That son of a bitch is so goddamn lucky!”
Seeing Mo Fei was kind of upset, Mo Yi tried to comfort him, “Young master, you are young, and so smart, and so wise, you will get richer than Prince Yu sooner or later.”
Mo Fei nodded, wearing a smile after thinking for a bit, “You are right. Yiyi, you are always so thoughtful and so far-sighted.”
“Young master, are we going back to the mansion now?” asked Mo Yi.
Mo Fei picked his eyebrows, “No, after making such a big fortune, of course we are gonna go on the racket first.”
Mo Yi nodded, “That sounds reasonable.”
Su Rong frowned, “I won’t go then. I want to go back to take some rest.” He hadn’t slept well for quite a few days.
“No, that won’t do.” said Mo Fei disapprovingly.
“Why is that?” asked Su Rong.
Mo Fei said reasonably, “If you go back, who will carry my stuff?”
Su Rong looked over to Mo Yi while Mo Yi gave him a sneer.
Looking at Su Rong’s depressed and awkward face, Mo Fei said, “Rongrong, don’t wear that long face. How about this? You go shopping with me, and I’m gonna buy you tomatoes on sticks.”
Su Rong, “...” He is not a kid who would be satisfied with only some goddamn tomatoes on sticks!
However reluctant Su Rong was, he still went shopping with Mo Fei.
Now Mo Fei was rich, so he directly went to the biggest treasure shop.
The whole treasure shop was like a palace. One would feel like entering into the immortal’s palace. Every inch was so magnificent.
All kinds of precious star herbs, potions, peculiar stones, weapons and antiques were exhibited in the showcases.
Mo Yi stopped by a stone in the showcase. The stone had strips of flame-like grains, looking very pretty.
Seeing that Mo Fei was staring at that stone, Su Rong immediately moved forward and explained, “Lord Mo Fei, this is Blood Grain Stone. It is a rarely seen stone which could help stabilize one’s mind.”
“Really?” said Mo Fei a bit suspiciously.
Su Rong nodded, “Yes, when one is about to promote, with a Blood Grain Stone aside, it could stabilize that person’s mind.”
Mo Fei nodded, “Seriously?”
