Chapter 41: A Helping Hand

Inside the Venue.

The classmates are divided into two groups, one is the male group and the other is the female group.

"Fan! What job are you doing? how can you afford a very expensive car like that?"

Song Ming asked, he is kind of curious and glad that a friend of his managed to become successful.

Lu Fan is bewildered and thought to himself: 'Eh? a very expensive car? I thought it is one of the cheapest one.'

He then replied: "It is nothing much, I`ve bought it with my first earned money."

Hearing Lu Fan spoke, everyone was astounded. They had the same thought in mind.

'How big is the salary that you can buy a $3.5m in a single go!'

Dongfang Xiao then asked.

"What kind of work are you doing?"

Lu Fan chuckles as he embarrassingly replied: "I`m playing a game."

Hearing these, they thought that Lu Fan is playing with them instead.

Both Song Ming and Dongfang Xiao sighed, they thought that Lu Fan removed them from his list of friends.

They then shook his head and thought that it is acceptable, friends like they would only drag Lu Fan's status down.

A smile forms on the both of their faces as they accepted such a fact, and when they are about to speak, someone exclaimed.

"You are playing MOFM, right?"

All of them looked at the one where the voice came from and saw their nerdy classmate.

"What do you mean MOFM?"

Song Ming immediately asked.

"Its a shorter term for Masters of Faith, Medieval, it is the very first leading virtual reality game that was released a month ago."

Hearing this reply, they looked at Lu Fan and waited for him to respond.

Lu Fan laughed embarrassingly and nodded his head.

"Yeah, on my first week, I earned a million already, but I haven't had anything for the past couple of weeks."

Lu Fan paused for a bit then continued: "Right, I remembered that I had earned a few more when I did a live stream."

Lu Fan felt awkward, he didn't want to flaunt his wealth, but he wants to do something since he saw Song Ming and Dongfang Xiao, and that is to recruit the both of them and play MOFM with him. Lu Fan has no other choice than to describe that they could earn money inside the game.

The driving force in it is because Song Ming and Dongfang Xiao had always been helping him, there was a time when Lu Fan had quit the school due to his Father and Mother's death, which made him go and find himself a part-time job.

When the both of them, Song Ming and Dongfang Xiao had secretly left their home and tried to search for a part-time job for Lu Fan.

Lu Fan, on the next day, saw Song Ming and Dongfang Xiao had found a part-time job each and told him about it.

Lu Fan felt extremely grateful to the both of them, that time, he could clearly see the both of them, two teenagers at the age of 14, didn't have a single shut-eye just to help him find a part-time job.

Lu Fan only has a few principles, and one of them is to pay gratitude ten folds or more.

Instead of giving a fish to a starving man to be stuffed for a day, why not teach him how to fish, so that he would not be hungry for the future.

Hearing this words, Song Ming and Dongfang Xiao wanted to ask Lu Fan, but they had heard of it before, that a capsule costs a tremendous amount of money.

The both of them shook their head and removed the idea of playing the game.

"You must be part of the big guilds right Lu Fan? Earning so much for the first week, you definitely made it big!"

One of them asked, he was also a gamer, but he is still a university student, he could barely spend time with it.

Lu Fan shook his head and replied: "No, I had just made a guild on my own."

Hearing the response, the university student lost interest, he thought that Lu Fan has some connection, and he might be able to join them through him.

Lu Fan then turned to his two friends and asked.

"Ming, Xiao, want to play the game with me?"

Hearing Lu Fan's question, they felt excited, then remembering the Capsule's price, they both shook their head and spoke.

"Not really, I need to take care of Mei's needs first, we're living together now, the both of us are working, so it is great for us, we're living comfortably."

"Me too, Mei and I are living together, we are also working in the same company, we are happy at it right now."

Hearing the both of them, Lu Fan smiled, although he has so little experience with society, he can see that the both of them are having a hard time just based on their expression.

Lu Fan looked at them as he spoke: "I thought... you thought of me like a friend... I guess I am assuming something on my own here."

Hearing Lu Fan's words, they gritted their teeth, they want to rebuke, but if they did, Lu Fan might really help them, it is better to cut ties with a friend theirs that had finally manage to become successful than to drag that friend down with them.

Lu Fan can already tell what's on their mind, he chuckles as he spoke.

"Let me talk to the two of them first."

Lu Fan looked at all of them as he asked and dragged his best friends outside.

The three of them stood on the terrace and spoke.

"I`m not going to boast here, but I want to tell you something, It has been a month and a few weeks, and I already earned more than $10M."

Hearing Lu Fan, the both of them were shocked.

Lu Fan then spoke: "Hey, I want to go back from before, the time on our school days, I need you two."

The both of them listened and didn't speak.

"When I needed help the most, the both of you gave me a helping hand, can't I do the same thing for the both of you?"

The both of them smiled, they didn't want to drag Lu Fan, they can survive at the very least.

Lu Fan stretched his hands and placed it on top of their shoulders.

"Hey, I need a helping hand in the game, just join, I`ll just let you borrow the money for a capsule, pay me back when you got some space."

Lu Fan looked at them as he spoke.

"You guys in? or are you finally going to leave me be and fend for myself? I`ll definitely get bullied."

Both Song Ming and Dongfang Xiao smiled as they nodded their head.

"Let's go then, the both of us will be your sword and shields!"

"Ah, you go and be the sword and shields, I`ll just be the player, I`d like to pay for my debt!"

The three chuckles and started to laugh as they went back inside.

...

Just outside the venue, someone is observing the three of them.

Chang Meng hasn't left the venue, instead, he kept waiting for the men that he had called.

"Laugh all you want! I`ll definitely have my way later!"
