26: Chapter 26 798 Group Gathering

Cao Mo raised his draft beer mug and said, "I'm late, I'll punish myself with one."

As he spoke, Cao Mo downed the beer in his mug in one go.

"I'll join you for one," Xiao Guan said, picking up her draft beer mug.

"Don't drink too much, kid," Zhilong reminded her.

"It's fine. If she gets drunk, I'll take her back," Cao Mo replied.

"It's precisely because you're next door that I'm worried!" Zhilong said.

"How can you say that? With my looks, I can get anything I want, anywhere. Why would I need to target the grass right next to my nest?" Cao Mo retorted.

"Xiao Guan might actually be hoping that Cao Mo targets her! Haven't you noticed that Little Fu has her eyes on Cao Mo? It wouldn't be out of the question for Xiao Guan to make her move first," Ying Xiaojie teased with a laugh.

After picking up a red willow skewer and eating it, Cao Mo looked at Zhilong and said, "Zhilong, your First Sister of Duo Sect is defecting. She says she wants to join my Mo Sect, which I haven't even established yet."

Upon hearing this, Zhilong looked at Xiao Guan again.

"Ah! Is Xiao Guan defecting?" Tian Jiu said.

"No! Master, I was just joking," Xiao Guan immediately defended herself.

"That's fine! Go ahead and join the Mo Sect! My Brother Mo is Brother Yi, after all; he can definitely help you succeed," Zhilong said nonchalantly.

"No! I was just joking with Brother Mo," Xiao Guan said again.

"Alright, stop teasing Xiao Guan! Let's drink, let's drink!" Tong Jingchen raised his glass.

The group clinked glasses together, took a sip, and then Cao Mo began to focus on the food.

Stir-fried river snails, barbecue, oysters, seasoned peanuts, and a fruit platter.

"Cao Mo, since we're not Livestreaming right now, tell us, what's the situation between you and Badanmu?" Tong Jingchen asked.

"What situation could there be? We're just friends. I've only met her twice in total. What kind of development do you think could happen?" Cao Mo said.

"It's hard to say! With your looks, it's perfectly normal for a girl to fall for you at first sight," Zhilong chimed in.

"Jiaqi is there too!" Cao Mo said.

"Speaking of Jiaqi, that's exactly what I was about to say! Jiaqi is acting strange too; she was chatting with me on WeChat, asking for your address," Tong Jingchen said.

"So what? Wait, you guys invited me over for drinks just to gossip?" Cao Mo said, speechless.

Ying Xiaojie patted Xiao Guan on the shoulder and said, "Did you hear that? Cao Mo is in high demand, so you have to make your move first. You live right next door to Cao Mo, so you have the advantage of being close to the water to catch the moonlight first."

"I don't dare! I feel inferior," Xiao Guan said.

Zhilong picked up a peanut, put it in his mouth, and then asked Xiao Guan, "Weren't you planning to move out of the apartment?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Guan glanced at Cao Mo and replied, "No! I'm not moving."

"Hmph! You clearly told me a few days ago that you found a place outside, and now you're saying you haven't," Zhilong exposed her.

"Zhilong, do you really have to call her out? Xiao Guan thinks it's pretty good being neighbors with Cao Mo now," Wang Ziyan said.

"Xiao Guan wants to move up and become Brother Yi's wife," Tian Jiu teased along.

"What are you guys talking about!" Xiao Guan shouted, her face slightly flushed.

"Alright, let's drink, let's drink!" Ying Xiaojie called out.

"Let's talk business! Have you all found your teammates for the farming group livestream?" Tong Jingchen asked.

"We've all found them," Zisheng replied.

Tong Jingchen looked at Zhilong and asked, "You invited Er Chen, right?"

"Yeah!" Zhilong nodded.

"Everyone has an external helper, right? Brother Jie invited Sophie, and Zisheng invited Brother Wazi. What about you, Tian Jiu?" Tong Jingchen looked at Tian Jiu.

Tian Jiu immediately raised his hand and said, "Brother! I request that Brother Mo join our group, or let Brother Mo be the captain."

"You've got it all planned out! Brother Yi's Livestream Room has so many wealthy women! We wouldn't stand a chance in a PK battle against him," Zhilong said.

"Without Brother Mo, our team will be the weakest, and that's no fun!" Tian Jiu replied.

"I don't care about that. We've already agreed; this is his first time participating in a group livestream, and Cao Mo is my teammate, mainly to observe," Tong Jingchen refused.

"Tian Jiu, don't you have Xiao Guan? Take Xiao Guan with you!" Ying Xiaojie said.

"Xiao Guan! Xiao Guan's own master won't even take her, and you want me to?" Tian Jiu said with a laugh.

"That's true! Zhilong, you didn't even take your top disciple of the Duo Sect; she called you Master for nothing," Wang Ziyan said.

"Xiao Guan, defect! Join our 798 Brother Yi's Mo Sect; that's where the bright future is," Tian Jiu said, stirring up trouble.

"No! Once a member of the Duo Sect, always a member of the Duo Sect," Xiao Guan declared, showing her loyalty.

Upon hearing this, Zhilong immediately picked up his glass and toasted Xiao Guan.

Xiao Guan clinked her glass with Zhilong's.

At this moment, Zhilong explained, "It's not that I don't want to take Xiao Guan, it's that Xiao Guan isn't suitable to go right now; she still needs more time to develop."

"Excuses! They're all just excuses!" Tian Jiu retorted.

"Tian Jiu, stop trying to sow discord here! I'll drink you under the table today," Zhilong said, looking at Tian Jiu.

"Come on! Let's have a go," Tian Jiu raised his glass.

"Have a PK battle!" Ying Xiaojie instigated.

"I meant drinking!" Tian Jiu immediately said.

"By the way, I didn't watch Brother Mo's livestream today. How many people were online during the stream today?" Zhilong asked.

"Between forty thousand and fifty thousand! At least forty-something thousand. His follower count has now surpassed everyone except Tong Jingchen; it seems to be over six hundred thousand," Ying Xiaojie answered for Cao Mo.

"That's awesome! As expected of Brother Yi. He's only been signed for four or five days; I must toast Brother Yi," Zhilong stood up and toasted Cao Mo again.

"No, no, no, Brother Long, sit down," Cao Mo stood up and clinked glasses with Zhilong.

"Compared to Brother Mo, I feel like a loser," Tian Jiu chimed in.

"If you say that, then what does that make me? A loser among losers," Wang Ziyan added.

"Wang Ziyan, you're just like A-Dou!" Ying Xiaojie added, landing the finishing blow.

"Tian Jiu! Try a little harder, otherwise, Cao Mo will buy a car before you even buy your Land Rover. He didn't even do a PK today, and he still earned tens of thousands from one livestream," Tong Jingchen said.

"It's a Range Rover. A Land Rover is a Land Rover, and a Range Rover is a Range Rover. How could I compare to Brother Yi? Brother Yi will definitely buy a car first!" Tian Jiu replied.

"No, I think electric scooters are pretty good; they're so comfortable to ride," Cao Mo said.

"I agree, electric scooters are much more comfortable than driving," Xiao Guan chimed in.

"It's about status! Doesn't the 798 Brother Yi need to maintain his status?" Tian Jiu said.

"What kind of status does Cao Mo need? He mainly targets wealthy female fans. Maybe when they see him riding a little electric scooter, they'll even tip him more!" Ying Xiaojie said.

"In that case, my driving a Land Rover doesn't mean much either! It doesn't attract fans who care about status," Tian Jiu said.

"That was just to please yourself, wanting to return home in glory," Zisheng said.

"To be honest, Cao Mo should be quite ruthless when doing PK battles. I watched his livestream today; he has a large number of female fans, and many high-level wealthy female accounts too. Today, Cao Mo said he occasionally does PKs, and those wealthy women all said they would tip heavily when Cao Mo does PK battles," Ying Xiaojie analyzed.

"He even stole my big sister fan away," Tian Jiu said.
