25 Serial Raider

Two hours later…

Long Yu was exhausted as he stood in a giant empty field. He had finally traded in every piece of scrap in the scrapyard.

No matter their value, he mindlessly commanded the system to sell everything that entered the platform.

11,854,908 yuan. This was the total amount that he earned from the scrapyard tonight.

Luckily, there were no security cameras in the field since there was no place to install them, so he was free to go on his selling frenzy. Well, it was not like the scrapyard bothered to install them there anyway.

Next, it was time for Long Yu to get out of the place before someone notices what happened. Using the same method as before, he bypassed the guard and exited through the front entrance without any problems.

Long Yu decided to call it a night, so he directly drove back to the hotel. When he got the hotel, he saw that the spot which he parked before, now has a reserved sign for his car plate number.

'Being rich sure is different,' Long Yu thought to himself. However, he knew that this would change very quickly once doomsday arrives.

When that time comes, no longer will the rich be prioritised. Only the strong and competent ones will stand above others.

Entering his room, he saw that Xixi was asleep on the lounge sofa. The table next to her was full of wrappers of the complimentary snacks provided by the hotel. Looking at the time on his phone, it was already 9.30 pm.

'Crap… I totally forgot about dinner," he facepalmed himself. He felt sorry for the little lass. She must have been hungry.

Long Yu went to wake her up since she hasn't change out of her clothes. He figured she must have not brushed her teeth as well, because there were still chocolate stains on her lips.

…..

Seeing the little girl sleeping soundly on the bed, it gave him a nostalgic feeling.

Long Yu picked up the hotel room phone and ordered room service for his dinner. Since Xixi already went back to sleep, he didn't order one for her.

Once the food arrived, he tipped the hotel staff and checked his food.

"Smells good…"

"Ahhh!!" Long Yu dropped the plate cover in fright when he heard a voice from behind.

"Big brother, why are you screaming?" Xixi asked with an innocent look.

'This girl….is she trying to scare me to death?' Long Yu felt as if his heart almost jumped out of his chest. If he didn't know better, he would have thought that she had done it on purpose.

"I guess you're still hungry after all, huh. It's my bad that I forgot your dinner," he said with a slightly guilty look.

"It's alright, Xixi ate a lot of snacks just now," she said happily as she pointed at the wrappers on the table.

"Alright, tell big brother what you want to eat most for dinner. I will try my best to fulfil your demands," Long Yu said to her with both his hands on his hips.

"Mm… Xixi wants to eat meat buns, fried chicken, steak, rice…" Xixi started to rapidly recite the name of various food.

"Wait wait, it's better if you just choose one for tonight's dinner," he quickly interjected her.

Hearing this, there was a look of disappointment on her face, but she finally chose steak from her long list of food.

After that, Long Yu went ahead to clear the table. Since the lounge table was pretty low, they both sat on the floor so that it would be more comfortable.

As if performing magic, Long Yu waved his hands in the air, and two plates of food appeared on both of his palms. Instantly, the fragrant smell of cooked meat flooded the room.

On each plate was a slab of steak cooked to perfection. Long Yu had chosen the most expensive beef in the world for their steaks, a5 kobe beef.

He was looking forward to it since he had heard that it was a top grade delicacy. Xixi who was sitting opposite him, was drooling non stop.

During their meal, Long Yu struggled to keep up with Xixi's eating pace. He didn't even have time to savour the taste.

'She truly is a little glutton. With her eating speed, she would put any competitive eaters to shame,' he thought.

After the meal, Long Yu also brought out the classic chocolate cake for dessert. Surprisingly, Xixi did not rush her dessert, she ate each bite with relish.

Long Yu was amused when he saw her lying on the sofa, rubbing her belly with a blissful smile on her face.

After telling Xixi not to sleep too late, Long Yu went to take a bath. It was a tiring day for him, and the odour from the scrapyard still stuck to his clothes.

As he submerged himself into the spacious bathtub full of water, Long Yu ran some calculations through his head.

Now that the Xingshi appliance scrapyard was cleared, he could repeat this process at a few more times in the other smaller scrapyards of Nanjing city. Although they could not provide him with as high of an earning like tonight, they are still valuable sources that he could use.

Long Yu estimated that he would still be short of 100 million yuan, even after ransacking all the scrapyards in Nanjing city. So, he would need to find another source of income after that.

He could not to rob the casino for the time being as it carries a big risk, considering the security of the place. Most casinos are connected to underground forces, so those guards would surely be carrying firearms of some sort.

So, if he was to rob it, he would probably have to do it when it is at its weakest. For instance, during the period when the casino, would not have the time to give a sh*t about their wealth.

'Who knew earning money illegally would be so difficult…' Bubbles formed on the surface of the water as Long Yu sighed through his nose.

If those underground dealers knew that he was earning millions each day and still complained about it, they would probably pull all their hair out in anger.

After his shower, Long Yu changed into his sleepwear and directly went to bed.

….

The next day.

The alarm on the Long Yu 's phone rang, doing its intended job. Reaching out his hand towards the night stand next to him, he skilfully navigated his finger onto the snooze button.

Looking at the alarm, it was already 11am. Long Yu had slept in again for today as he did not plan to do much in the morning.

After waking Xixi up, he brought her out for brunch. Next, they visited the police station again to check if there was any news on the girl's mother. As expected, there was none.

Since Long Yu planned on doing some recon at a few scrapyards in the late afternoon, he first brought Xixi to an outlet to buy her new clothes. He just paid for whatever items she chose, since he did not really care about that little amount of money.

When sending her back to the hotel, he made sure to tell her that she could order whatever food or drink that she wanted from the hotel room service. The items would be automatically charged to the room to be paid later.

Xixi had wanted to follow him instead, but he rejected. It was better to let her wait in the hotel instead of leaving her in the car. Besides, he had bought plenty of toys for her to play with this afternoon.

….

During Long Yu's observation of the scrapyards, he realised that only a couple of them have decent security. These scrapyards contain appliances and small electronic parts, similar to the Xingshi appliance scrapyard. Therefore, they are guarded to prevent scavengers from breaking in to steal parts during the night.

On the other hand, many of the other scrapyards lack security. Since they mostly contain vehicle scraps, no one would bother to steal anything anyway.

Long Yu decided to first hit the ones that were guarded, since the security would likely be tightened once word gets out that scraps were disappearing into thin air.

...

Days later...

Long Yu had wiped every scrapyard in Nanjing city clean. Although the haul from some of them were bad, the combined amount wasn't.

[92,352,086 yuan]

This is the amount of money that he currently has in the system.

It turned out that the deterioration percentages of the vehicle scraps were really high, which drastically depreciated their trade in value to the system. Long Yu blamed the scrapyards for cruelly squashing those vehicles into pancakes.
