Guilongchao: I played the domineering CEO to the bone.

Chapter 8 We are the heir of the Dragon, how could he possibly plot against us?

"Let's go."

Min Moyou called out to Tong and walked towards the elevator with the room card in hand.

"Eh?"

Tong unconsciously started walking to catch up, feeling that something was wrong.

Is this a hotel?

I'm not really his girlfriend or date or anything. It's just that receptionist's wild imagination. Why would I go to his hotel room with him?

Although we feel indebted to him for taking his things,

Although our guide job might involve some other odd jobs as well...

But, there are only a few steps left, what else can he need us to do?

Press the elevator button?

He's not without hands, how could he possibly need someone else to press an elevator button...?

Need to collect luggage?

He didn't have any luggage either.

So why is that...?

"Ouch!"

While Tong was deep in thought, Min Moyou suddenly tapped her on the head.

Looking up, I realized that Min Moyou was already standing at the elevator door.

"Don't just stand there, press the elevator button."

???

no? ? ?

You really...?

"Yes, young master."

Tong couldn't help but shake her head, clutching her chin—whose giant baby is this anyway...?

Oh, he gave us 700 million?

That's fine.

I'll have to check later to see if that ring is really worth 700 million.

Is he just making up a number to try and fool me?

.......

Soon, the elevator descended to the first floor.

It was late at night, and when the elevator doors opened, as expected, there was no one inside!

Min Moyou stepped into the elevator, glanced at Tong who was still standing outside, raised an eyebrow, and showed a displeased expression.

It was as if it was a silent rebuke to Tong for being blind and unaware, asking how someone could be a top-tier agent?

Tong hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the ninth floor for Min Moyou.

Well, it's the last bit of time. I'll just go see what this 'Dragon King Suite' is like, broaden my horizons, and then I can brag to others about how expensive it is...?

Tong was exhausted after a long day and just wanted to get off work early to rest. She didn't even try to talk to Min Moyou in the elevator.

Min Moyou was busy connecting with the system and didn't have time to chat with Tong.

Inside the elevator, the two stood side by side, quietly.

It's alright, the night is still long.

...................

'System, explain this Ancient Dragon Realm - Paradise Beyond the World to me.'

[Ancient Dragon Realm - A Paradise Beyond the World, as the name suggests, is an ancient dragon realm. It was formed when a dragon's offspring, whose mind was corrupted by excessive use of dragon spells, transformed into a dragon demon. The dragon spells uncontrollably released their power, creating a spatial field. After the dragon demon died, the dragon spells did not choose a new master. Due to the lack of sophisticated technology in ancient times to eliminate the influence of dragon realms, this ancient dragon realm was able to survive.]

'Don't pad the word count, you jerk.'

[The Ancient Dragon Realm - A Paradise Beyond the World is an independent space, approximately m x m in size, capable of housing both inanimate and living beings. One can live normally within it, and only the host possesses the coordinates to enter. The exact location of this Dragon Realm has been concealed by the river of history and cannot be discovered by other dragon offspring; therefore, it can essentially be considered the host's space.]

'It's just a portable space, isn't it? So many words! Are you a chatterbox? System.'

Furthermore, this Dragon Domain produces a certain amount of rare materials daily, such as Dragon Jade and Dream Dust.

'Explain in detail? It can't really be used as material for gacha pulls or refining Dragon Spells, can it?'

The supernatural energy and rules of this world were brought and established by a creature called the 'Dragon'. After the Dragon departed, it left behind its power, the Dragon Curse. Only a very few can sense the Dragon Curse, or be chosen by it to use its power. These people are the Dragon's Heirs.

[After becoming a Dragon's Heir, a human can unlock their potential, break through the shackles of their life level, obtain their own unique Heir Mark, and enhance their strength. This process is extremely difficult, and Dragon Jade contains the power belonging to the 'dragon's' physical level, which can assist in this process. Therefore, Dragon Jade is the hard currency among Dragon Heirs.]

[So-called Dragon Curses are aggregates of power left behind by 'dragons' before they leave this world. Some are merely imbued with the 'dragon's' aura, while others possess power directly belonging to the 'dragon' itself, and their quantity also varies. Therefore, Dragon Curses are categorized by strength, roughly divided into three tiers: blue, purple, and gold. Each tier is further divided into three levels, with rarity and strength increasing progressively.]

[The power directly attributable to the 'Dragon's' origin lies in the body that the 'Dragon's' existence in this world is split into nine, known as the 'Nine Sons Dragon Curses.' These nine curses are born at the Gold Rank, and their strength is enough to overpower all other dragon curses combined. Therefore, the Dragon Heirs call them the 'Supreme Dragon Curses.' But now there is a tenth—if we include the host's 'Ao Hui'—but 'Ao Hui' has not yet reached the Gold Rank. The fictional background states: its power directly belongs to the 'Dragon's' origin, but due to its small size, it is insufficient to reach the Gold Rank and has been overlooked and undiscovered.]

[Dream Dust contains the spiritual power of the 'Dragon,' which can be used to assist in upgrading and advancing Dragon Curses. Blue-tier Dragon Curses, due to their extremely weak connection to the 'Dragon,' can never break through to the Blue tier. Purple-tier Dragon Curses at least contain a trace of the 'Dragon's' primal power and have the potential to advance to the Gold tier with enough Dream Dust. Gold-tier Dragon Curses can be continuously developed using Dream Dust, with no upper limit to their enhancement.]

[The Dragon's Mark and Dragon's Curse are the two major factors affecting the strength of the Dragon's Mark. The crucial resources that can enhance the Dragon's Mark and Dragon's Curse are Dragon Jade and Illusionary Dream Dust. Both can only be developed from ancient Dragon Realms, and the development process is mostly fraught with danger. Moreover, such ancient Dragon Realms are only controlled by a handful of extremely powerful or highly secretive forces, making them absolutely priceless and in high demand.]

[The ancient Dragon Realm - Paradise Beyond the World can automatically produce a certain amount of Dragon Jade and Dream Dust every day. Now, does the host understand the value of Paradise Beyond the World?]

'I understand, that's definitely good stuff!'

'By the way, System, can you see the strength of other people?'

[Yes, host. 】

What are my strengths?

[0 marks, Purple Tier 1, power entirely derived from the 'Ao Hui' Dragon Curse, yet to be fully developed.]

Where's Hitomi?

[1st Mark, Purple Tier 1, Water Attribute, Ability Focus: Destruction.]

Why weren't the attributes and direction explained in detail?

The application of Dragon Spells essentially involves invoking various rules of the world. These rules are diverse and manifest as attributes; the direction of ability advantage is determined by the way these rules are applied.

'And what about me?'

[Ao Huilong's Curse has advantages in all attributes and all directions.]

'What about my guard squad?' (As a model socialist youth, Min Moyou didn't treat the so-called Deadpools as objects or servants, but as living, breathing people, so he didn't want to be called Deadpools.)

[All three marks, purple level three.]

'Wow? Does that mean I can do whatever I want?'

Minmoyou felt a sense of security very directly.

[Even if the host were to sing "Because You're Too Beautiful" while leaning on Iron Mountain, no one could hurt you.]

...............

"Ding-dong-"

The elevator quickly went up to the ninth floor.

Tong stepped out of the elevator first, and under Min Moyou's astonished gaze, stood to the side of the elevator door, bowed, made a "please" gesture, and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Young Master, we've arrived. Please come in."

Tong secretly rolled her eyes—was it only when Min Moyou was satisfied that this was the case?

Min Moyou almost couldn't hold back her laughter, nodded in satisfaction, and praised:

"Good, keep it up."

Min Moyou accepted Tong's "welcome" without any burden, stepped out of the elevator, and after slightly adjusting her direction, walked towards the Dragon King Suite No. 909.

Tong waited for a while but Min Moyou didn't say "please rise" or "please get up" to her. When she looked up, Min Moyou had already walked a distance away.

Perhaps in Tong's mind, the impression Min Moyou gave her was that he should say something like "Rise" in a pretentious way, and then make a gesture of support, showing his domineering aura, right?

Hitomi silently followed, shocked that this floor only had nine rooms—Kowloon Residence looked particularly imposing from the outside, its area no smaller than a supermarket. Hitomi wasn't unfamiliar with staying there—when doing commissions outside, she would sometimes need to spend a night in a hotel…

Okay, so that was one time when I was working on a case in another district with Mr. Du. Mr. Du looked down on cheap guesthouses and insisted on staying in a single room at Kowloon Residence...

They insisted on opening two rooms, one for each person and one for the cat—Tong wondered why Master Du didn't like sleeping in cardboard boxes. Tong herself was even planning to sleep under the overpass.

Under the guise of improving her living conditions during her business trip so she could recharge and better complete the task, they ultimately deducted the hotel expenses from the commission fee before giving Tong her share according to her probation...

Well, anyway, Tong thought that if she had ever stayed at Kowloon Residence, that would be something to brag about, right? So she half-heartedly agreed to Master Du's suggestion.

Even though it's just a very ordinary single room.

In Tong's memory, there were more than a hundred ordinary single rooms on one floor of Kowloon Residence.

The 'Dragon King Suite' has only nine rooms on one floor...

The doors to each room are far apart.

How big would that be?

Tong pondered, "I really need to see this properly—now I'll have a chance to brag to my cronies (poor friends) about sleeping in the Dragon King Suite at Kowloon Residence!"

As she pondered, Tong suddenly realized a crucial issue—

How exactly is her pay calculated? How is the hourly rate of one thousand calculated?

When it comes to money, you can't be careless at all!

Over the years, Tong has been tricked by all sorts of "money-saving tips" from Master Du.

He couldn't wait to ask Minmoyou a question:

"Boss...? Look, shouldn't tonight be over?"

"Are you satisfied with Xiaotong's service?"

"Then what about my wages...?"

Calling him "Boss Minmoyou" is to emphasize that their relationship is one of monetary employment—so hurry up and give me the money!

"What? Are you in a hurry?"

Min Moyou slowed down. Although he didn't care about the money, he still found it a bit troublesome to settle accounts every few hours.

Tsk, this greedy woman—I just gave her 700 million.

If Tong knew what Min Moyou was thinking, she would definitely vehemently refute him:

Seven hundred million can't fill an empty stomach!

"Urgent! Urgent! Your guide, Xiaotong, is almost starving..."

Tong grabbed Min Moyou's sleeve, about to start playing the victim, but she realized she had misspoke!

Oops!

Having gotten so used to playing the victim with Boss Shen, I forgot my current persona: a top-tier agent who's never short of money or commissions, and who doesn't eat just to maintain his physique...

What to do? What to do? What to do?

Won't we get caught?

Min Moyou already knew Tong's financial situation and hadn't believed her explanation from the start. He casually pulled out a stack of nine-square coins from his pocket, worth several thousand, and handed them to Tong, saying:

"Let's settle these for now."

Why not spend tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of yuan at once to pay the commission fee in one lump sum, as we do in other places?

Min Moyou considered that if Tong received enough money, given her lazy personality, she might not be diligent in her work, and he couldn't use the commission fee as bait or a means to blackmail her...

Ahem, the main concern is that once Tong has received enough money, he will lose his appeal to her, or Tong will lose interest in him. What will he do then?

What should Minmo You do if she wants to take her relationship with Tong to the next level?

So, this is one of the little tricks that domineering CEOs use to manipulate innocent girls.

Tong estimated that there were about seven or eight thousand nine-square coins, enough to cover tonight's commission fee. So, he solemnly accepted the money with both hands and stuffed it into his pocket, thanking Min Moyou very earnestly.

"thank you boss."

Relieved to have received the money, Tong's eyes darted around as she asked another question that had been bothering her:

"Oh, by the way, young master? How is that one thousand per hour calculated?"

"Xiaotong is so silly, she doesn't quite understand?"

Yo ~

Minmo smiled knowingly.

Is this some kind of doorstep delivery?

"As long as you stay where I can summon you at any time, that counts as time. If it's less than an hour, it'll be counted as an hour."

"What if it exceeds one hour and one second?"

"It will also be calculated per hour."

Okay, okay!

Tong has decided to sleep on the floor outside Min Moyou's room tonight—with this calculation, wouldn't she be able to earn several thousand just by sleeping there for one night?

wrong.........

Tong's expression became conflicted again—this 'Dragon King Suite' is so big, if I sleep on the floor at the entrance, will I be able to hear him calling me from inside the room?

I heard that the 'Dragon King Suite' at Kowloon Residence has top-notch soundproofing, so... if we don't consider the duration of use, we're in trouble.

hiss.......

What to do......

That's several thousand dollars...

Hi!

It's poverty-driven thinking that has ruined us!

Such a big room, surely there's room for me to sleep?! Why did you have to choose to sleep by the door?!

We can just sleep on the sofa!

If you can't sleep on the sofa, isn't sleeping on the floor in the room much better than sleeping on the floor in the hallway outside?

As for the fact that a man and a woman were alone together in a room...

Hey!

We are descendants of the Dragon!

Do you think he's plotting against us?
