Chapter 329: Make Them Lose Miserably! (Part 2)
Finally, Gu Yuan settled it with a bang by preparing gold-colored supporter materials for Yun Ran, and Yun Ran had no choice but to accept.
"You go home and have a good rest, you must rejuvenate. Leave all the logistics to me!"
Although Yun Ran verbally complained about Gu Yuan being noisy, seeing how devoted Gu Yuan was, she couldn't deny feeling moved.
She was about to thank him when Gu Yuan interrupted her: "Don't you dare thank me, that would be too formal.
After all, you saved my life! Too bad you're still a kid, or I'd have to repay you with my own body; since I can't, I'll just have to repay you some other way."
Yun Ran: …
Seriously, not even three seconds of seriousness, no wonder so many people's first impression of Gu Yuan was that this guy was nonchalant.
"Alright, I'm heading back!"
Gu Yuan watched Yun Ran get into the car, waited until her car had left in the distance, then turned and headed back to the manor.
He then returned to the chamber he was previously in.
A servant dressed in a long gown respectfully approached, placed the tablet in his hands.
"Young Master Gu, according to your earlier request, the relevant data has been collected. Those betting on Yun Ran's victory are less than ten percent, her odds are very high."
Gu Yuan looked at the tablet; the bar chart showed Yun Ran's column being pitifully low.
"Transfer all the accounts I previously placed with you to bet on Yun Ran's victory, and also check this competition's betting pool for any rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, compile a list for me!"
"Understood."
After the servant left, Gu Yuan took out his phone and reported the situation to Xie Xuzhi, this time, he was determined to make those people lose miserably!
After returning to the Yun Residence, Yun Ran hurriedly took out her phone to rally support.
When Gu Yuan talked about organizing a cheerleading team for her, she found it too flashy, but having only one or two people to cheer for her seemed embarrassing.
She needed to contact those she got along with before, to ask them to come together, at least to maintain appearances.
At the Hai City Branch, her direct superior Shen Zhe and other team members were naturally included.
Daoist Qingmu, Master Jiechen, and some people from the Northwest Branch were also added to her list.
They owed her a life-saving debt, she needed them to return the favor sooner rather than later, otherwise it would depreciate.
People from the South China Branch were also counted by Yun Ran.
When Taoist Xia received Yun Ran's call, he was surprised: "What's up, calling me so late?"
"The day after tomorrow is the Xuanmen Competition, come and support me!"
Taoist Xia, who was eating a seafood congee, paused: "The Xuanmen Competition? No way, you're actually participating in the Xuanmen Competition?"
"It's not me participating on my own will, I'm compelled to participate. Just tell me whether you will come or not!"
Hearing the rather unfriendly tone in Yun Ran's voice, Taoist Xia quickly responded: "Of course, I'll be there!"
"That's more like it. Ok, that's all, hanging up~"
After hanging up, Taoist Xia didn't even care about his congee anymore; he hurriedly accessed a Xuanmen-exclusive gossip website.
Once opened, he saw information about the Xuanmen Competition featured prominently on the homepage, with many people discussing it.
Especially when he saw the odds, he almost cursed out loud.
"These fools, how could they know if Yun Ran participates, she's bound to be the leader, my god, they actually wagered so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, dammit, I'm going to be rich!!!"
Especially when he saw several materials he needed, which he couldn't find elsewhere, now suddenly appearing here.
Now, he truly believed that Yun Ran was his lucky star. Every time something involved Yun Ran, it brought him fortune.
In the future, if anyone dared to belittle Yun Ran's Life Chart, he'd be the first to confront them furiously!
After placing his bets, Taoist Xia regretted that Yun Ran wasn't 18 yet; otherwise, besides the leader's prize, other bets could have been swept up by Yun Ran.
After notifying Taoist Xia, Yun Ran put down her phone and began communicating with Dragon Spirit.
The groggy Dragon Spirit, awakened by Yun Ran, instantly became furious: [What now, in the middle of the night, can't you let people sleep!!!]
"In two days, I'll be participating in the Xuanmen Competition, you come and cheer me on too!"
Dragon Spirit: ???
Then he burst into laughter: [My little ancestor, do you hear what you're saying! You're actually asking me, a body-seizing dragon spirit, to go to your Xuanmen people's competition? Ha, do you think I have a long life, or do you think I'm out of my mind?]
"If you were well-behaved and stayed in the ocean, or didn't harbor thoughts of body-seizing, just residing in my body, I wouldn't care.
But now it's different, you didn't just seize a human body, but also ran into the headquarters of the Special Administration Bureau, they are not vegetarians, they will find out about you sooner or later.
I don't believe, once they catch you, you would stubbornly hold out to the end, you'd probably be eager to sell me out, pulling me down with you.
So, to prevent you from implicating me, I plan to clear a legitimate path for you, creating a registered identity."
Dragon Spirit suddenly fell silent, just recovering from body-seizing, identity didn't mean much to him.
But now, he understood the importance of identity, although he made a good amount of money from the stuff he salvaged from the ocean.
But many times, there were still restrictions.
"Can you really get me an identity?"
"Believe it or not, too late if you miss it!"
After that, Yun Ran hung up the phone. When she was in the Northwest, she had deliberately hinted about Dragon Spirit's existence.
Wasn't it just thinking that there could be a chance to openly take Dragon Spirit out for a stroll?
After a day's rest, Yun Ran was fully rejuvenated, looking brimming with energy.
When Yun Jinyang learned that Yun Ran was going out again, he simply told her to take care of herself and showed no intention of interfering, which pleased Yun Ran.
Gu Yuan personally drove to the Yun Residence to pick her up.
Seeing Yun Ran in her signature simple work clothes, wearing a baseball cap, and carrying a seemingly deflated backpack.
Thinking about several large boxes of stuff he had in the trunk, he suddenly felt that Yun Ran lived too roughly, far from a delicate fairy.
"Is that all you're bringing?"
"What else should I bring? Didn't you say that the Xuanmen Competition provides everything?"
Gu Yuan: …
"So, you specifically asked what they provide, just planning on bringing nothing?"
"What else? I'm not going on a vacation, why bother with so many things?"
At this point, Gu Yuan was utterly convinced by Yun Ran.
