Good Man Operation Guide

Huo Jingzhou looked up angrily and saw the burly man was sneering at him.

“Mr Huo, you told this little girl that the apartment was yours?”

"You live in my Young Master’s house, use his game pod, use his account, spend my Young Master’s money to make everyone think you’re benevolent and generous. Not counting the millions you stole from my Young Master in the game, how come in reality you also want to use my Young Master’s things to pick up girls?”

Huo Jingzhou’s hands tremblecl out of shape. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at him viciously, “Shut up!!!'

“Tsk.”

The burly man wasn’t frightened by his appearance at all but continued to ridicule, “Huo Jingzhou before you met my Young Master, you were still a poor student who was begging around for a substitute job. You took my Young Master’s things for yourself and stabbed him in the back. Even if you aren’t ashamed, we're all disgusted!”

“I really feel sorry for my Young Master. How could he get entangled with such a disgusting thing like you? Like a leech, taking benefits from him while sucking his blood all the time. You don’t really think that my Young Master will let you go so easily and turn a blind eye to what you did?”

His voice was so loud that it soon reached the apartment next door through the corridor.

The neighbouring door opened, and a beautiful woman came out. She didn’t look at the burly man but looked at Huo Jingzhou in shock.

“Jingzhou, is what they said true?”

Huo Jingzhou’s face looked painfully red and hot. He looked at the beautiful neighbour next door, then looked at the little loli sister beside him. He bit the bullet and said, “Don’t believe them; that’s all a lie. I just have a grudge with them ...”

“Lies! “

The burly man sneered and directly took out the real estate license.

“If I’m right, you lied to these two girls and said that the apartment is yours, right? Take out the real estate license with your name on it! Come with us to the property management downstairs and see whose name is written down as the owner!”

Huo Jingzhou, of course, couldn’t take it out. His forehead was full of sweat, and even his back was wet with cold sweat. Looking at the shock of the two girls who once had a crush on him, looking at him right now, his lips quivered. He was speechless.

He couldn’t speak, but the burly man had no intentions of letting him go. Instead, he turned to the beautiful neighbour and smiled, “Girl, it seems that you were cheated by him, too. Let me showyou a post. It describes in detail how Huo Jingzhou cheated our Young Master’s money and used his money to please girls everywhere.”

“There are already eight women who have met him and know him by his real name.”

Huo Jingzhou’s body trembled. He didn’t care about anything and rushed forward to grab the phone, “No!! It’s fake rumours! Give me that!”

The burly man gave him a look, and several other people quickly stepped forward to stop him. Huo Jingzhou’s eyes were red as he watched the beautiful neighbour and the loli girl read the post with hesitation. He felt like his whole face was torn off and stepped on.

It was exposed-

His painstaking disguise as a rich young man was unravelled.

The neighbour was livid but didn’t speak. The young girl, unable to restrain her anger, angrily looked at the restrained Huo Jingzhou.

“When I was injured, afraid to go home and had no place to live, you brought me back and said that this was your own apartment, and you wouldn’t charge me rent. Were you lying to me?”

“When you said you were the First Immortal Guild leader, number one in the whole server, was it all using someone else’s account? You also... you also took other people ’s money to go around and please women?!’’

“Brother Jingzhou ... no! Huo Jingzhou! You’re disgusting!!”

She couldn’t accept that Huo Jingzhou, who had always been a great hero in her mind, was such a person. She wiped the tears on her face, glared at him mercilessly, and ran into the elevator, crying.

“Ah Yu! It’s not what you think, Ah Yu!!'

Huo Jingzhou anxiously called her name, but the girl closed the elevator door without hesitation.

When he turned around again, the beautiful neighbour who would only smile at him turned cold and looked at him as if she was looking at a stranger.

She removed the expensive watch from her wrist and slammed it down in front of Huo Jingzhou.

“This watch, too. You bought it with the money you swindled, right?”

“Justifying taking someone else’s stuff to show favour. Huo Jingzhou, you’re disgusting.”

-Bang!

With a cold face, she slammed the door.

The hand that grabbecl Huo Jingzhou loosened, but his legs were weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

“You have half an hour to move out, or we’ll have to call the police and sue you for trespassing.”

No matter how much he hated it in his heart, Huo Jingzhou could only hold it in and pack up his things. Because of the urgency, he packed up in a hurry and wasn’t sure if anything was missing. He was pushed out of the door by several men.

Lin! Shi! Heng!

He viciously recited the name from the bottom of his heart, hating the guy who turned his betrayal into a disgrace.

Right now, he relied on the Lin family to bully him. In the future, when he rose up, he would make Lin Shiheng pay the price!

Thinking of that, Huo Jingzhou felt a little better in his heart. It was too late to find a place to rent right now, so he could only go back to school.

Fortunately, although he moved out, he never reportecl it to the school, and he still had a bed in the dormitory.

Huo Jingzhou had a good plan, but he didn’t expect to be confronted with strange looks from students passing by once he stepped into the campus.

His heart shuddered. He looked carefully and saw that everyone was looking at him. Those eyes were looking at him with contempt and disgust.

What was going on!?

Huo Jingzhou covered his face. He lowered his head and hastily walked towards the dormitory building, intending to wait until he got there to properly understand the situation.

He got along well with his buddies in the dormitory. After all, although Hu Jingzhou rarely came back, he had changed his appearance from a poor boy to such a rich and imposing guy. Everyone could see it. After hearing Huo Jingzhou say that he was starting his own business, the four roommates were all very impressed and usually followecl Huo Jingzhou’s lead in the dormitory.

In the past, every time he came back, he would get an enthusiastic response. However, this time, when he opened the bedroom door, he was greeted with four complicated expressions.

No one greeted him, and no one asked him to go drinking with a smile like before. They just looked at him, and as if he didn’t exist, they continued to do their own thing.

Huo Jingzhou clenched his fist. He felt betrayed.

He really wanted to ignore these four people but thought that he was already in trouble with a lot of people now, and he suppressed his temper. He raised his smile and spoke as naturally as possible, “I’m planning on coming back and living here for a while. Would you like to go out and hang out together? My treat.”

No one responded.

The bedroom was horribly quiet as if no one had heard Huo Jingzhou’s words.

The smile on Huo Jingzhou’s face gradually fell. Forcibly suppressing his anger of being betrayed, he then said, “Why are you all silent? Didn’t you guys always make a fuss about me treating you before?”

“Treat us with stolen money?”

The third member of the dormitory answered. He raised his eyes and coldly looked at Huo Jingzhou, “You don’t have to pretend anymore. We all know what you did. You've ruined our reputation as substitutes. Could you actually still act like nothing happened? You’re really shameless.”

Huo Jingzhou’s face turned gloomy. He clenched his fist and rushed forward, “What do you mean!”

“You know what I mean!!”

Not to be outdone, the third member stood up and glared at him, “What did you tell us? You said you were starting a business, you saved so much money by your own efforts, and you bought a riverside apartment by your own efforts. We took you as a role model and boasted about you outside. And now what happened?”

“What business, what effort, you’re just a disgusting parasite!! That rich second generation was blind enough to accept you as a substitute. You occupied other people ’s things and still feel no shame. You’ve been kicked out by that rich guy, right? Why are you looking at me with such a face? Do you really think you can hide what you did from the people on campus? Huo Jingzhou, congratulations, you’re famous!!”

He pushed away Huo Jingzhou, whose eyes were full of disbelief, and slammed the door with a cold face.

The bedroom was silent again.

In the end, the eldest member, who always had a good temper, stood up and explained to Huo Jingzhou, "He was also working as a substitute, and he shared a dormitory with you. Before, he had been saying that he was learning from you and following you. When this matter came out, people thought that he was also that kind of person. He has a lot of anger in his heart, don’t mind it.”

“Now, all the school forums are talking about you, and your real name and picture have been leaked out. I heard that the school is discussing dismissal. When we walk on the school’s path, people keep asking about it. At first, Old Third still said that you couldn’t possibly do such a thing, but then he saw the evidence...”

He went forward and wanted to pat Huo Jingzhou’s shoulder as usual, but before his hand fell, he hesitantly withdrew it. sighed, and also went out the door.

The remaining two roommates looked at each other, and both stood up. They didn’t talk to Huo Jingzhou, didn’t even look at him in the eye, and went out in silence.

In the dormitory, only Huo Jingzhou was left, standing stiffly in place.

It was too late to do anything.

In the game, in reality, everyone knew about the things he did.

The friends, the fame, the women he got by relying on Lin Shiheng’s name all abandoned him.

This time, he really couldn’t turn things around.

No, no!

Huo Jingzhou suddenly raised his head. His eyes looked scary.

There was still a chance!

He still had savings. Although his company had just started, as long as they could make a second holographic game, he could turn over.

Just look at Tianyou group’s prestige now, and people would know that Lin Shiheng was just a rich second generation. What type of rich second generation had any real skills?

Even if this game couldn’t take all the players of ‘The Immortal Path’ in one sitting, even if it was only half of them...

Half was enough for him to crush Lin Shiheng!

Thinking of that, Huo Jingzhou hastily took out his cell phone with shaking hands and called the technician he hacl recruited from ‘The Immortal Path’.

“Hey, it’s me. Is our game almost ready? Can we announce it soon?”

However, there came a somewhat indifferent voice from the technician, “I’m sorry, Mr Huo, Tianyou Group held a press conference, announcing that 'The Immortal Path’ has been completely improved. I went to check the improved version, and with our current technology, we can’t beat it.”

“It doesn’t matter: let’s set the price lower. It will certainly attract a lot of players.”

“I’m afraid we can’t. The starting price of our game pod is too high. The selling price must be higher than ‘The Immortal Path’; otherwise, it will definitely lose money, and...”

He paused and then said, “Tianyou Group applied for a patent. Part of our plan is already in infringement. In addition, many people resigned today; I’m afraid the game wouldn’t be ready any time soon.”

Wouldn’t be ready...

Huo Jingzhou’s hands trembled.

He clearly knew that this game was modelled after 'The Immortal Path’ in the beginning, and while ‘The Immortal Path’ had loopholes, they could hold their own game by stepping on ‘The Immortal Path’. But now, it was perfected.

A game with a higher price than it, a system that wasn’t as perfect as it, and a game that involved infringement, wouldn’t attract many players.

Especially since the game pods weren't compatible with each other’s games, those who bought ‘The Immortal Path’s game pod would find it hard to give up on it and move to other games.

How did this happen ...?

Obviously, not long ago, everything was fine.

In the game, he was the leader of the First Immortal Guild, who was in the first place and had numerous female admirers. In reality, he was an entrepreneurial college student who had an apartment and a deposit. He was admired by men and worshipped by women.

It’s only been a short while. Everything was like a mirage, falling apart.

He was still in a daze after the blow, but the technician on the other end said, “Mr Huo, I’m also going to resign; the resignation letter is on your desk. I don’t need this month’s salary, sorry.”

The phone was hung up.

Huo Jingzhou numbly placed the phone down.

Spooked, he started searching for the Tianyou Group launch online.

In the camera, it was the man he had only seen several times, but he remembered his face.

He was pale, with a faint smile at the corners of his lips, and the man on the side was introducing, "This is Lin Shiheng, the son of the Chairman of Tianyou Group, and the main person who perfected the loopholes of ‘The Immortal Path’.”

Immediately, someone who remembered the forum news got up and asked if the one involved in a big scam case in ‘The Immortal Path’ was Lin Shiheng.

Lin Shiheng smiled and nodded, “Yes, I’m the one who was tricked. I, as the client, will choose to take the legal route and recover all the money that can be recovered.”

Then, there was the speech from the Chairman of the Tianyou Group.

“I’m announcing that my son, Lin Shiheng, will temporarily take over the Tianyou Group.”

Lin Shiheng smiled at the camera, looking very calm as if the takeover wasn’t a big group with hundreds of billions of profits, but a big cabbage.

In Huo Jingzhou’s eyes, the smile was so piercing that he could barely stand.

What he desperately wanted, Lin Shiheng got it so easily.

And what he had worked hard to get, Lin Shiheng was able to take away from him with just a single, light-hearted word.

Money, fame, contacts, admirers, brothers ...

They were all gone.

Including the degree he was getting, he may be expelled because of this incident.

Huo Jingzhou’s eyes turned dark, and his two legs could no longer stand. He went limp and slid down the wall.

In his mind, only one phrase flashed by.

Using a wicker basket draw water', it was all wasted effort.
