SAG -Chapter 139 Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother Take Their Places!

Zhang Sicheng felt his scalp go numb under Zhang Ran and Prince Haiman’s stares. No matter what, he had never expected these two to actually think about asking him to open a backdoor for them.

“Well… uh… wouldn’t that be a little inappropriate?” Zhang Sicheng said bravely.

Zhang Ran and Prince Haiman were only joking. They had indeed been abused a little too miserably just now.

They both knew that once they used an official cheat, the players’ impression of the game would instantly worsen. Even Prince Haiman’s identity would not change that.

“Cough, cough. I’ve decided. Tonight, every time I win a match, I’ll ‘randomly’ select one lucky viewer and give them a bottle of 1996 Haiman. Remember, completely ‘randomly,’” Prince Haiman said through gritted teeth, emphasizing the word “randomly” very heavily. The meaning was self-evident.

“I’ll also give away ten thousand yuan worth of in-game recharge points,” Zhang Ran said through gritted teeth as well. At this moment, for the sake of a little gaming experience, the two of them had actually begun openly bribing players.

However, when Zhang Ran said this, Prince Haiman looked down on him severely. This fellow was so stingy he did not even want to spend a single cent of his own money.

There were many smart people in the world. Someone quickly understood the meaning behind their words, so very soon, their gaming experience soared.

“Haha, Zhang Ran, see that? That’s the third one,” Prince Haiman said smugly.

Zhang Ran’s face darkened and he did not speak. He was wondering whether he really should be a little more generous.

…

Liu Hui’s home.

Liu Hui was chatting with her childhood friend and bestie. Right now, Liu Hui had also become a popular figure in their village.

There was no helping it. Every time Liu Hui’s mother went out, she would say how good Liu Lu was to their Xiao Hui. She only managed some people normally and earned fifteen thousand yuan a month. After some time, her salary would even increase.

Because of all this, the matchmakers had practically worn down the threshold of Liu Hui’s house recently.

By the time Liu Hui noticed the streamer, it was already ten o’clock at night. Zhang Ran and the others had attended the engagement ceremony at eight, returned home at nine, chatted for a while, and started playing games at nine-thirty.

Now they had already played for more than half an hour, which was exactly when Zhang Ran and the others wanted to cheat.

“Haha, this Prince Haiman is really funny,” her bestie said with a laugh.

Liu Hui, however, was drawn to another voice. She could tell that it was her cousin Liu Lu’s father-in-law’s voice.

And Prince Haiman calling him Zhang Ran again and again also proved that she had not heard wrong.

Because Liu Hui worked at the gaming club, she also knew about the game. At this moment, Liu Hui suddenly felt unable to stay at home any longer.

She knew that because of Liu Lu, Ning Qing treated her very well. But she understood even more clearly that this merely allowed her starting point to be a little higher than others. If she did not have enough ability or make enough contributions, then she would only remain as she was.

“Xinxin, I need to return to Shanghai,” Liu Hui suddenly said.

“Hm? What are you going to do? Didn’t you just come back? And New Year is almost here. Why are you going back to Shanghai now?”

“This game was developed by my brother-in-law’s company. The person playing games with Prince Haiman is my brother-in-law’s father, and this game streamer is someone from the gaming club where I work. The club must be very busy right now. I need to go back.”

Liu Hui briefly explained a few sentences and immediately began booking tickets online.

Very soon, Liu Hui’s parents also learned of Liu Hui’s decision. After hearing her explanation, they also supported her decision.

At the same time, they also learned that even Britain’s Prince Haiman was playing the game developed by Liu Lu’s husband.

So the next day, the envy toward Liu Lu in their village increased once again. Liu Lu had clearly almost become a legend in their village, moving from one extreme to the other.

…

Zhang Ran and Prince Haiman played games for nearly two and a half hours in total. After midnight, they stopped.

“What are you doing tonight? Staying here or going back?” Zhang Ran tossed his phone aside, stretched his muscles, and asked.

Prince Haiman said, “Tonight, I’m going to drink you down. I’m not leaving.”

Hearing her husband’s decision, Lin Mei did not object. She only said, “Drink less. You’re not young anymore.”

“All right, don’t worry. This old antique can’t outdrink me,” Prince Haiman said with complete confidence.

However, just as Lin Mei was preparing to take her two children and leave, another situation appeared.

“Mommy, we don’t want to go back. I want to sleep with Brother Taotao,” Auston said.

“That’s right. I want to hear the story of the Calabash Brothers. Mommy, can you buy me a treasure gourd too?” Arthur’s little face was full of anticipation.

Lin Mei was speechless. What was going on with Zhang Ran’s family? Their family of four had come over, yet when it was time to go back, only she was left?

Lin Mei could not quite make the decision either, so she looked toward Prince Haiman.

But before Prince Haiman could speak, Zhang Ran said, “No need for your mommy to buy them. Uncle will give you treasure gourds.”

He had brought back a total of seven treasure gourds. He had given Taotao and Susu one each, leaving five.

“Thank you, Uncle. I want this green one. I’m Fourth Brother,” Auston immediately said, pointing at the five gourds Zhang Ran had taken out.

“I want the cyan one. I’m Fifth Brother,” Arthur also said impatiently. Clearly, the two of them had already thought this through.

When they learned that Taotao was Eldest Brother and Susu was Seventh Sister, the four little fellows had already discussed it.

Now even Zhang Ran was stunned. The seven Calabash Brothers had already gathered four members?

Handing the two gourds to the two little fellows, Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Xiaotao with amusement.

“Are you planning to gather all seven Calabash Brothers to save Grandpa?”

“Mm. I want to protect Grandpa.” Zhang Xiaotao’s little face was full of seriousness.

“I also want to protect Grandpa,” Susu’s voice was especially loud at this moment, as if declaring her determination.

Seeing the two little fellows like this, Zhang Ran felt as if his heart was about to melt.

“Good, good, good. Grandpa will rely on you all to protect me from now on.”

…

Auston and Arthur had firmly decided not to leave. Lin Mei had no choice. In the end, Zhang Ran said, “How about this? All of you can stay at my house. Spend New Year here this year too. It’ll be perfect for adding some liveliness to our home.”

Prince Haiman did not stand on ceremony either and soon made the decision. This year, they would celebrate New Year at Zhang Ran’s home.

Lin Mei and Prince Haiman stayed in Zhang Siyan’s room. Zhang Siyan slept with Susu, while Zhang Xiaotao slept in one bed with Auston and Arthur.

Fortunately, when the place had been renovated, all the beds had been bought large and luxurious enough, so three little fellows could completely fit.

Afterward, Zhang Ran drank and chatted idly with Prince Haiman. The two talked about all sorts of things. Most of the time, Prince Haiman was the one speaking, talking about what had happened to him over the years.

From the bottom of his heart, Prince Haiman truly regarded Zhang Ran as a close friend, the kind he could open his heart to. So he poured out all at once some frustrations and worries that he could not even tell Lin Mei.

Perhaps because the Auston brothers had never had such an experience since childhood, the three little fellows kept playing noisily in the room and did not fall asleep until very late.

This was the first time Auston and Arthur could play to their hearts’ content like this. Although Prince Haiman was not especially strict with them, their identities were still there, and many things had dedicated people teaching and guiding them.

Moments like this made the two brothers like it very much. They even somewhat did not want to leave Uncle Zhang’s house anymore.
