Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

Fatty Wang raised an eyebrow: "And then?"

Then, of course, came the rewards. First, they gave me, Fatty, a big stick, and next, naturally, they gave Radish.

Hu Bayi frowned slightly: "Fatty, you don't seem like the type to be led by the nose."

You noticed it all?

Why did you agree to that?

Fatty Wang chuckled and said, "I did figure it out."

There was nothing I could do.

Young Master Zhou gives me too much. He gives Fatty a million a year! That's a whole million!

And this is still a guaranteed minimum.

Other money is a separate matter. Old Hu, just imagine how many years it would take me, Fatty, to earn a million?

Not only that, after learning that I, Fatty, practice Bajiquan, he even promised me the complete Bajiquan lineage.

Furthermore, Master Zhao personally taught Bajiquan.

This treatment puts me, Fatty, among the very elite in the entire country.

Big Gold Tooth exclaimed, "Fatty!"

So you weren't just bragging after all.

Fatty Wang rolled his eyes at Big Gold Tooth: "So, Master Jin..."

Are you just teasing me, Fatty?

"Am I, Fatty, really that worthless?"

Big Gold Tooth cupped his hands and said, "Then congratulations, Fatty!"

That's Old Zhao!

"If Fatty can catch Old Zhao's eye and become his disciple, then Fatty, you'll truly be set for life!"

Fatty Wang's expression turned serious.

"Yeah, Young Master Zhou treated us really well. At the time, I, Fatty, was thinking to myself, 'This might be Fatty.'"

This is the only chance I'll ever have to get ahead in my life, so of course I, Fatty, have to seize it.

While Hu Bayi felt happy for Fatty, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Although there was no jealousy,

But this sense of loss still exists; his brother has a bright future ahead of him, while he sees no future in sight.

My feelings were a bit complicated.

After quickly composing himself, he still offered his congratulations: "Fatty, congratulations!"

Fatty Wang smiled slightly.

Just as he was about to show off, Hu Bayi hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Fatty, to be honest,..."

But don't be angry.

Fatty Wang waved his hand: "Old Hu, just say what you need to say."

Our relationship,

What can't be said?

Hu Bayi hesitated slightly before speaking, "Fatty, this treatment is a bit too good."

of course,

I'm not saying you're not good enough for me, but in my opinion, you deserve even the best treatment.

But to be treated like this right after joining?

Could this young Master Zhou be plotting something?

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang chuckled: "Hahaha, Old Hu!"

You think too much,

I'd thought about this question before, but from what I learned from Fatty, it's clear that he was taken in by Young Master Zhou.

After the first subordinate,

Fatty no longer had such worries, after all, the situation was quite clear; in ancient times,

It means "a hidden dragon in the abyss".

My friend was lucky; he got his ticket before the ship even set sail. Whatever he did after boarding...

"Fatty's a veteran too, he won't lose out."

Hearing this, Hu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

After all, when Young Master Zhou looked at it,

The water is so deep you can't see the bottom. If there's really a problem, even if I wanted to save you, I'm afraid there's nothing I could do.

Fatty Wang felt a warmth in his heart.

Then he said, "Old Hu, Boss Jin, why don't you join Young Master Zhou's team? The benefits are so good."

Aren't you tempted?

Hu Bayi and Big Gold Tooth exchanged a glance, and finally Hu Bayi gave a bitter smile and said, "I guess the chances are slim."

That young master Zhou,

They probably don't have a good impression of me, but Jin Ye has a better chance.

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang rolled his eyes at Hu Bayi: "Who told you to stare at Boss Yin?"

Don't think your brother doesn't know.

"You have designs on that Boss Yin."

Hu Bayi blushed, and was about to retort,

Big Gold Tooth then joked, "Uncle Hu, I didn't realize that!"

You have quite the imagination.

You've taken action on things that others wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Hu Bayi was at his wit's end, and in a fit of despair, he said, "She's so beautiful, just like what Fatty said..."

A beautiful and graceful lady is the object of a gentleman's affections.

It's the same principle; isn't it normal for me to be attracted to someone?

Big Gold Tooth hadn't spoken yet,

Fatty Wang sighed, "Old Hu, if it were anyone else..."

Fatty, I definitely support you. Even if you're a billionaire, I still think you're capable. But this Boss Yin...

And Xiaomanjie too

"Fatty, I advise you to save your energy."

Hu Bayi was somewhat unconvinced: "Fatty, you betrayed our revolutionary friendship so quickly?"

Are you still my brother?

Just because you're under Master Zhou's command doesn't mean...

"So you're not going to help your own brother?"

Fatty Wang rolled his eyes at Hu Ba: "Old Hu, don't be so unconvinced."

I'll tell you, and you'll see.

Take Boss Yin as an example. Let's set aside his relationship with Young Master Zhou and whether Young Master Zhou likes him or not.

Just to put it simply, the waters behind the Crescent Hotel run so deep that it's beyond Lao Hu's reach.

If she were the daughter of a billionaire, at most he'd think Old Hu, you're not rich enough for his daughter.

But we're not afraid.

No matter how much money you have, can it still exceed your power?

If all else fails, with our abilities, we brothers will be able to earn that much money sooner or later.

But Mr. Yin,

That's not something we can pull off a scam. Forget about the money, just consider the complicated relationship...

That relationship is very deep.

With our backgrounds, we might be considered respectable by ordinary people, but compared to Boss Yin...

"That's about it for us."

He then extended his little finger.

Big Gold Tooth, unfamiliar with official families, was taken aback: "Fatty,..."

"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

Before Fatty Wang could speak, Hu Bayi had already figured it out and suddenly sighed, "I really was overthinking this."

Mr. Jin, you don't know,

Compared to merchants, officials' families were the ones who valued social standing and family background the most.

Big Gold Tooth raised an eyebrow: "It can't be that bad, can it?"

There are so many officials.

His wives were all ordinary people.

Hu Bayi rolled his eyes at Big Gold Tooth: "That's because our country hasn't been established for long."

Those men's wives were all soldiers who had married their husbands. To become a general's wife...

They deserve it.

One reason is that it was caused by that particular era.

But what era are we living in now?

With the birth of the second generation, intermarriage was a normal phenomenon and an issue that was difficult to avoid in all dynasties.

As for those who married ordinary people...

That's because either their families don't need arranged marriages,

Either your family is open-minded.

"It's alright for men, but look at how many women from official families can successfully marry ordinary people?"

After a pause, Hu Bayi continued:

"To put it bluntly, excluding the older generation,

Mr. Jin, those you saw

Those who marry ordinary people are simply because they are not of a high enough rank.

Big Gold Tooth shuddered upon hearing this: "I said, Old Hu,"

Please stop talking nonsense.

"I don't want to get shot yet, it hasn't even been that long!"

Seeing this, Hu Bayi said no more, sighed, and said, "As for the relationship between me and Boss Yin..."

The difference is that big.

Between the two, Boss Yin is the one I need to look up to.
