" I'll leave this cards with Ye Xiong ge and teach you the rest of the two ways to play them, you can mass produce them and use them in your gamble house. But i want 40 percent shares from the profits of the cards ... what do you say, are you willing? " Lin Yu'an laid down his terms. Ye Xiong's men's faces became ugly listening to Lin Yu'an talk " what do you mean 40 percent shares.... who do you think you are to try to conv..... " Ye Xiong glared angrily at the man talking making the man shut his mouth and broke into cold sweats. " Little brother Yu'an that's the only way you'll let go of the cards to me? " Ye Xiong asked, " en " Lin Yu'an answered. " Ye Xiong ge knows my situation, with this i was hoping i could get protection from you " Lin Yu'an said honestly.
To start an underground network in a place without befriending the thugs living there was an extremely dangerous and stupid thing to do, so this was another way for Lin Yu'an to start laying his foundation. " hahaha... i like honest people. If that's the reason then I, the one they call Ye Xiong ge will provide little brother Yu'an with protection. I accept your co-operation, I'm illiterate so do you want to have someone draft a contract for us since it's a co-operation? " Ye Xiong agreed and asked, Lin Yu'an was delighted. " there's no need for us to write down the contract. We'll just make it verbally, how can a business co-operation florish without trust among us partners " " hahahah... true, true.... what little brother Yu'an says is true, this big brother has learnt from you. From now on you address me as dage, from today onwards you're the second boss of my gamble house as well as my sworn brother "
Ye Xiong said making his men shouted and Lin Yu'an smirked. " boss how can you make him second boss, boss we don't agree to this! " One of his men expressed his dissatisfactions and the rest nodded in agreement but Ye Xiong paid no heed to them. " thank you dage, this little brother will follow you from now on " Lin Yu'an partially expressed his gratitude, it wasn't that he trusted Ye Xiong. He just staked a bet to see, if the bet would have failed he wouldn't suffer a loss because to him the playing cards weren't worth anything and he could just sell it to them at a high price too, but since Ye Xiong took the bait it meant more gains for Lin Yu'an. " whoever isn't satisfied with my ways can leave i wouldn't stop you... i am the boss and whatever I say is the law here! Xiao Gou from now on you'll be working under little brother Yu'an "
Ye Xiong stated giving no way for insubordination. Lin Yu'an twitched hearing their tacky sense of naming, but such names for thugs was understandable, Xiao Gou was very dissatisfied with the arrangements but he swallowed his grievance and saluted " okay boss, second boss " Lin Yu'an smirked... " the rest of you go inform your brothers about my arrangements " the other two also saluted and left.

hearing the notification from the system Lin Yu'an cheered in heart, he thought if he keeps going just like this he will complete all tasks of the system in no time. Lin Yu'an stayed to teach Ye Xiong another two more ways for playing cards. " dage, I still have things to do so I'll take my leave now " Lin Yu'an said after seeing that Ye Xiong memorized all three ways " good, good.... if little brother Yu'an runs into any trouble just tell dage and dage will help you deal with it " " thank you "
Ye Xiong happily watched Lin Yu'an walk out of the room with Xiao Gou following behind, unexpectedly today he gain a lot and even got a sworn brother. Ye Xiong couldn't be more happy than he was now, he called one of his direct follower to sit and accompany him to play the cards. Lin Yu'an saw that Xiao Gou was still following him when he walk out of the gamble house, he stopped and turn to Xiao Gou who sneered viciously at him. " why are you still following me? " Lin Yu'an asked indifferently " boss said I'm under you now so i have to follow you..... so you know i don't trust you! "
Xiao Gou said with hatred and distrust to Lin Yu'an who couldn't care less about his trust. " you don't have to follow me from here, I'll go by myself " Lin Yu'an turned around and started walking after saying that. But before he could think about what to do next he was yanked back around by Xiao Gou who was staring at him intimidately, Lin Yu'an lost his mind and gave him a punch on the face. " ahhh " Xiao Gou cried out and bend holding his bleeding nose which looked like it was broken from the punch, he got so mad and charged at Lin Yu'an. Lin Yu'an dodged his fist side ways and kicked him in the side sending Xiao Gou falling, he jumped onto Xiao Gou and started to punch him on the face continuously with no way to resist. People heard the shrill cries of Xiao Gou and came out watching but the thugs made no attempt of stopping Lin Yu'an thinking of his new identity as their second boss. And also they thought Xiao Gou must have pissed Lin Yu'an off not accepting him as their boss just like them, they started to cower in fear and swallow hard seeing how Lin Yu'an was making a mess out of Xiao Gou.
" second boss please stop hitting me... don't hit my anymore. woooooo, i concede. please stop hitting me " Xiao Gou started to plead with tears and snort and his face bloodied everywhere, blood was flowing from both his nose and mouth. Lin Yu'an stopped knowing that if he continued he might end up killing Xiao Gou, and also his fists were throbbing from hitting fiercely and too much, he sighed disheartened by his weak self before getting up of Xiao Gou's body. He turned sharply at the members of dage's gang who were watching him with fears, the corners of his lips arched up into a smile and they all sucked in their breaths in and stop breathing.
With blood all over his face and that smile Lin Yu'an looked like a demon who descended on earth making their foreheads sweat, he withdrew his gaze back to Xiao Gou who was still lying on the ground in pain. " do you still have something to say? " Lin Yu'an asked indifferently and Xiao Gou shook his head with difficulty " anyone else want a lesson from me? " he asked the other members and they all shook thier heads like lizards.

Lin Yu'an was stunned for a moment and sized Xiao Gou up and down not agreeing with the system, how could he leave his back to someone like Xiao Gou. The man looks like a weak chicken for **** sake! As he was lamenting on the system's way of thinking another notification sounded.

he was amazed hear that he completed two tasks at once, he decided to leave the rewards for now and receive them later including the older ones too. Lin Yu'an watched Xiao Gou skeptically one last time and threw him a broken silver of give taels before walking away feeling bashful, his first day in this era and he has already gained a lot. Lin Yu'an decided to go shop for daily necessities and things needed at home, his new home was as bared as a cemetery grounds and also needed repairs. But instead of repairs he was thinking of tearing down the place and building a new house, but for now what he needed most were food ingredients and the daily necessities and clothes. He went to a clothes shop and bought four big cotton blankets, bought already made clothes which were made with the best fabrics. After buying for himself he thought about the twins at home and Yu ger's faces.
Even though psychologically he wanted to deny their existence but thinking about it logically he was now the kids biological father and Yang Yu was his lawful wife, he didn't need to think hard to know that. He assigned to his faith and decided to buy fabrics for them to make clothes, he both the same best fabrics used for his clothes. His colours were darker like black, dark blue and two or three light colours, for the twins he chose light blue and white fabrics and for Yang Yu he chose white for all fabrics thinking that with his structure white would suit him best and he had the shopkeeper choose a color which was suited for middle aged women intending to give it to aunt Zhang as a way to thank her for taking care of them.
Lin Yu'an didn't like owing people favors and because aunt Zhang had being taking care of the previous owner and his family so it was considered a favor to him too. So he wanted to clear up that favor or he'd have sleepless nights thinking about it. Seeing that he bought a lot of things the shopkeeper of the fabric shop offered to lend him a bullock cart and a servant to escort him and Lin Yu'an accepted his thoughtfulness with open hands, Lin Yu'an bought writing papers, ink stone and brush. He went to a grain store and bought white rice, white four and all kinds of flour and grains available. He bought soy sauce, vinegar, oil etc. After he went to the butcher and bought pork meat, before buying vegetables. By the time Lin Yu'an was done buying and stocking whatever was needed it was getting late and he estimated that the time was around three or four, Lin Yu'an sat in the cart with the servant lended to him leading the bullock cart to his home.
