Looking at everyone's tense expressions, Xiao Yu smiled slightly and said to the crowd, "Don't worry, I guarantee that after my store opens, there will be no thugs causing trouble. Xiaodao, Daniu, our fists are not for show! If someone comes to cause trouble, let them come in standing and leave crawling!"
Xiao Yu's words immediately stirred up Xiao Dao and Da Niu's fighting spirit. Yeah, what are thugs afraid of? We brothers know martial arts!
"Little Yu Ge! Count me in too!" Er Ya's eyes shone with light, in her eyes, Little Yu was the most upright and kind-hearted person under the sky. If anyone dared to oppose him, she would be the first to disagree! Er Ya had practiced martial arts with Grandpa for over a decade, and when it came to kung fu, she was absolutely not inferior to Big Cow.
Lao Zhang suddenly burst out laughing and said to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, I'm not worried about the hooligans. Renting such a big place must be very expensive, right?"
Xiao Yu nodded, "Uh-huh, a deposit of 50,000 yuan, monthly rent of 25,000 yuan, plus a transfer fee of 120,000 yuan."
Everyone gasped in shock, the monthly rent was 25,000 yuan, which added up to 300,000 yuan per year! Adding the transfer fee of 120,000 yuan and the deposit of 50,000 yuan, it was almost 200,000 yuan, an astronomical figure for these working-class people!
They also admired Xiao Yu's courage, actually renting the store like that. If something goes wrong, it would be a disaster that would leave them bankrupt!
Old Zhang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then pulled out a passbook from his pocket and handed it to Little Yu, "Dad has tens of thousands of yuan in savings here, take it all!"
Xiao Yu was shocked and immediately pushed the old man's hand back, saying to Lao Zhang, "Uncle, I still have money here, enough for use. Our store's business has been good lately, and we've saved a lot of money this period, which is enough to pay the rent. This is your retirement money, you'd better keep it yourself!"
Old Zhang's face fell as soon as he heard this, "Oh, so money is just money, but my money isn't? I put this money in the bank and it's going to mold, it's better to let Pa use it for something big. The new store is opening and everything needs money. What did you say when your father was lying in the hospital with a broken leg? In this society, if you want to avoid being bullied, you have to be someone! Your father is old, he has no hope left, but I am his hope! If you don't hand over that deposit book, I'll turn against you!"
Xiao Yu was moved to tears by Old Zhang's words, and as he looked at the old man, he felt a warm current flowing slowly in his heart. He made up his mind that this lifetime, he must make something of himself, so that he could repay the old man's great kindness.
Seeing Old Zhang's determined look, Xiao Yu had no choice but to take the passbook from the old man's hands and said with tears in his eyes, "Uncle, rest assured, I will definitely do a good job with the business. I'll double the money back to you!"
"Good boy! You have spirit! I like this kind of daring!" Old Zhang was overjoyed, and smiled happily.
Everyone had dinner together, and Xiao Yu returned to his own room and turned on the computer.
Today is the day when KOW website announced the final schedule, he wants to see who his opponent in the final is.
As expected, in the inbox of KOW website, an email was lying there neatly. Xiaoyu opened the email and after a slight pause, she was stunned.
"Dear yy, due to the conflict between the spring championship match and this year's WCG match, the nine platinum members will not be able to participate in the final match. We will select the third place winner of the revival match as the lucky eighth person to participate in the final match."
The final will officially start on Wednesday, your match opponent is - Golden Member 'Knife'!
What? Not even the platinum members are coming? Xiao Yu suddenly felt a bit disappointed, originally wanting to compete with top players from various countries in this tournament, but unexpectedly, it was disrupted by the WCG competition.
Only eight members participated in the final match, and the original sixteen strong became the current eight strong. The wonderful degree of the final match immediately decreased a lot.
However, this is also understandable. White gold members need to participate in more than a dozen international competitions every year, and the events on KOW website are just internal events of the website. Although the prize money is not less than that of international competitions, for white gold members, international competitions are still more attractive.
Like WCG, this kind of international competition is similar to the Olympic Games for e-sports, but it's a major match concerning the reputation and international ranking of professional players in the public eye. Which one is more important, naturally can be imagined.
Xiao Yu thought for a moment, these nine white gold members didn't come to participate in the competition, it also had one good thing, the obstacles he encountered would be much smaller, and this $200,000 reward was very promising.
I've just rented a store and I'm short on funds. These 200,000 US dollars have suddenly become extremely important to me.
The name 'Knife', I've heard of him before, he's a top-notch player in the Gold Member tier, his level is said to be only one line away from the White Gold Member, it seems that tomorrow's match will be a test for me.
In fact, those who entered the final eight were all top-notch players from various clubs. From the quarterfinals to the championship, there are three matches in total, and each one will be a tough battle.
Xiaoyu searched for the match video of 'Knife' in the Kow website's database, and found that he was also a human player with top-notch mechanics and game sense. Xiaoyu also discovered that 'Knife's playstyle had a unique characteristic - he liked to recruit mercenaries as his main army composition, and used them to win several matches unexpectedly.

Late at night, 12 o'clock in the morning.
The entrance of Tilanqiao Prison in Shanghai.
A luxury sedan has been parked across the street for some time now.
"Brother Jin, we've been waiting for an hour, where's the person who was supposed to come out? Will something go wrong?" A thirty-five or six-year-old man in black with a scar above his eyebrow asked from the passenger seat.
"Wang Shun, what's the rush? Fei Ge had already sent someone to take care of it, this matter is 90% sure, absolutely no problem." The driver, a man in his 40s with a long face, said impatiently while smoking a cigarette.
Wang Shun chuckled and said, "Jin Ge, I'm not impatient, I just want to see what the future master of Fei Ying Tang looks like. Besides, staying in a place like this for too long makes me feel uneasy. Earlier when we stopped to pee, I even saw a wanted poster with my photo on it on the wall of that toilet!"
"Ha!" Jin Ge snorted, casting a glance at Wang Shun. "Wang Shun, look at this! Which of us in the Flying Eagle Hall doesn't have a few lives under our belt? Must you be so tense? Don't worry, following Big Brother Fei is safer than being on your own outside. This time, who are we going to receive? You must have heard rumors, right? In terms of fame and number of people killed, today's the day he's supposed to be executed, but Big Brother Fei will still get him out of the death row! I'm telling you, no matter how serious the crime, as long as you're still breathing when you go in, Big Brother Fei guarantees he can get you out!"
Wang Shun took a deep breath and asked, "Jin Ge, is this prison run by Fei Ge? Does he have more authority than the warden just by saying one word?"
"King Ge rolled his eyes, patted Wang Shun's shoulder and said, "Wang Shun, you're new here, there are many things you don't understand yet. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't ask such questions. These kinds of things, how can we possibly know? Just focus on doing your job well, I'm telling you, the more you know about these things, the less good it is for you."
Wang Shun secretly blamed himself for being reckless, as a newcomer, although he had strong martial arts skills and gained the recognition of Fei Ge, becoming a golden killer in the Flying Eagle Hall, he knew that the Black Dragon Society's strength was terrifying, absolutely not just a small black society.
Jin Ge is an old-timer in the Black Dragon Society, and has always been Fei Ge's driver. He should know the ins and outs of things. What he said was right - some things are better left unasked, lest you bring disaster upon yourself.
At this point, he fell silent and his two eyes continued to scan the prison gate.
If Xiao Qing were here, she would certainly recognize the man named Wang Shun as the murderer who had killed her master and his entire family.
Ten minutes later, the small gate of the prison suddenly opened, and a giant over 1.9 meters tall slowly walked out from the door. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, the small gate closed immediately, as if it had never been opened before.
This big fellow was about forty years old, with a drooping eyebrow and triangular eyes, his facial features were quite ferocious. He stood at the door, stretched his waist, as if enjoying the fresh air outside.
Under the illumination of the lamp at the prison gate, this face became even clearer, and a fierce aura emanated from it, especially those eyes, which seemed to gleam with ferocity. Anyone who made eye contact with him would involuntarily feel their heart racing with fear.
"Brother Jin, isn't he Chen Hong, the notorious Jiangxi bandit who killed thirty-seven people in just ten days and was known as 'Poisonous Wolf'?" Wang Shun looked at the tall figure standing at the prison gate, and although he himself had not been shy of taking lives, a thread of fear involuntarily rose up in his heart.
Jin Ge took out a photo from his pocket, compared it with something, nodded affirmatively and said to Wang Shun, "That's right, go! The master has come out."
Wang Shun shivered, got off the car, crossed the road quickly and came to the man's side, forcing a smile on his face, saying "Are you Hong Ge? I'm Fei Ge sent to pick you up."
The big man looked up and down at Wang Shun a few times, with a hint of surprise flashing in the corner of his mouth. "Looks quite familiar, seems to be someone on the wanted list too?"
Wang Shun's body shook slightly, and he looked around four times before realizing no one was there. He then whispered to Chen Hong, "My name is Wang Shun, and compared to you, Brother Hong, I'm far inferior."
Chen Hong's lips curled up into a faint smile, and he nodded his head. "Let's go," he said to Wang Shun. "Take me to see Fei Ge. I want to see what kind of person he is and whether he's worth my 'Poisonous Wolf' Chen Hong serving him."
Two people walked across the street and got into a luxury car. Jin Ge had already started the engine, and with a roar of acceleration, they disappeared into the dark night in no time.
