49: Chapter 49 The Understanding and Reasonable Teacher Fu
Everyone finished the meal amidst the playful banter.
Cao Mo brought the Livestream Room over to Zhilong's table and sat down next to him.
"Baobao, give me a cigarette," Cao Mo said to Baobao.
"I don't have any, they were all confiscated," Baobao said, patting her pockets.
"Don't you have cigarettes yourself? They didn't search your team, you're just trying to scam Baobao," Zhilong said.
At this moment, Tong Jingchen leaned in and said bluntly, "Baobao definitely has cigarettes; she must be hiding them."
"She's an old chain-smoker, Baobao!" Zisheng said.
"Bullshit! I really don't have any, they were all confiscated," Baobao replied.
"She really doesn't have any, I trust my teammate," Zhilong chimed in.
Teacher Fu then said in a sly, manipulative tone, "Brother Mo, if you want to smoke, I'll use my duck coins to buy you a pack."
These words immediately caused everyone at the table to look at Teacher Fu.
"Little Fu, you've really become a simp. Is it necessary to suck up to him so shamelessly? His fanbase is mostly female; you won't be able to siphon any traffic from him, and you'll just make his fans resent you," Tong Jingchen said.
"That sounds so harsh, I'm not doing it for traffic," Teacher Fu retorted.
"Oh! So you're just after Cao Mo himself, then!" Tong Jingchen said.
"We're all colleagues! Isn't he Brother Yi? What's wrong with trying to please Brother Yi?" Teacher Fu defended herself.
"Forget it, forget it, you don't need to use your duck coins to buy any," Cao Mo said, speaking up to smooth things over.
As he said this, Cao Mo took a pack of Jipin cigarettes out of his pocket and passed them around to everyone.
Cao Mo also handed one to Baobao.
At this point, Tong Jingchen said to Xiao Er, "Xiao Er, bring my Master Mo a glass of iced green tea."
"Who are you being passive-aggressive towards!" Teacher Fu immediately shouted.
"Huh? What passive-aggression? I'm just letting my Master Mo taste what green tea is like!" Tong Jingchen said.
Zhilong then posed a death-trap question to Cao Mo: "Hey! Master Mo, among all the women present, who do you think is the best looking?"
"Damn! Brother Long, what's the meaning of this? Asking me a life-or-death question like that?" Cao Mo retorted.
"Nothing, just asking casually," Zhilong replied.
"They're all beautiful! Each has her own merits," Cao Mo said.
"You can't answer like that, you have to pick one," Tong Jingchen chimed in.
"Exactly, you have to pick one. You can't marry all of them when you get a wife in the future, right? You'll still have to choose one," Zhilong said.
"Why not just take all of them if I like them!" Cao Mo said.
"What do you mean? You want to be an emperor and start a harem!" Tong Jingchen said.
"I definitely can't be an emperor, but a harem… that's hard to say," Cao Mo replied.
"Master Mo, your main task right now is to uninstall Tomato, you're thinking way too big," Tian Jiu said.
"It's not that I'm thinking too big, it's that I actually have the ability to back it up!" Cao Mo said.
"Exactly! What's wrong with Brother Mo marrying a few more women!" Teacher Fu agreed.
Upon hearing this, Cao Mo looked at Teacher Fu with a surprised expression.
Of course, Cao Mo couldn't determine if she was doing it for the sake of the show or if she was being sincere.
Just as these people couldn't determine whether Cao Mo was joking or being serious.
"Little Fu, are you serious? You're that generous?" Ying Xiaojie asked.
"Of course! Brother Mo is so outstanding," Teacher Fu replied with a smile.
"Good woman, good woman!" Ying Xiaojie gave a thumbs up.
"Brother Jie is jealous, aren't you!" Tong Jingchen laughed.
"Brother Jie is definitely jealous! The Eight-Divorce Family," Wang Ziyan said, looking at Ying Xiaojie with a smile.
"What Bali Family?" Sophie asked curiously.
"Getting married eight times and divorced eight times!" Wang Ziyan explained.
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have that many," Ying Xiaojie replied.
After eating, the group went to the small courtyard and chatted and laughed for a while; Cao Mo and his two other teammates each received five duck coins.
These five duck coins were just for them to buy things, and their belongings would not be searched.
Immediately after, they went to the basketball court in the open space below.
Brother Wazi and Ying Xiaojie were playing basketball there.
Brother Wazi took a shot from a distance and made it accurately.
Looking at Brother Wazi's height, you could tell he knew how to play basketball.
Seeing this, Xiao Er bragged, "I could dunk when I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, but now I've gained weight and can't do it anymore."
"Would it kill you not to brag!" Tong Jingchen retorted at Xiao Er.
As he said this, Tong Jingchen also entered the court, picked up the basketball, and took a shot.
As a result, the shot went way off the mark.
Ying Xiaojie took the basketball and said, "Who wants to play me one-on-one in basketball? Five duck coins, best of three."
Just as Cao Mo was about to speak, Tong Jingchen spoke up first, "I'll do it!"
So Tong Jingchen and Brother Jie had a one-on-one match.
Brother Jie clearly knew how to play based on his posture, and with his size advantage, Tong Jingchen was knocked flying.
However, Brother Jie's shooting accuracy was a bit off, which ended up letting Tong Jingchen win five duck coins from Brother Jie.
After playing basketball, Tong Jingchen was covered in sweat.
"Brother Tong, and here I thought you worked out every day. You played for just a little bit and you're covered in sweat, you're really weak. No wonder you're called a skinny dog," Cao Mo teased.
"Damn! It's actually tiring, what do you think! If you don't believe me, go play a round yourself," Tong Jingchen retorted.
"I'll play a round, then! What if I can pull off a violent dunk!" Cao Mo said.
"How tall are you?" Tong Jingchen asked.
"1.81 meters!" Cao Mo replied.
"1.81 meters and you want to dunk, and a violent dunk at that, you can really brag! Why don't you just fly to the sky!" Er Chen said, having appeared behind them at some point.
"You don't believe me, right! Then let's bet on something," Cao Mo said.
"Fine! Let's bet against him. If you can't dunk, you give five duck coins to Er Chen. If you win, Er Chen gives you five duck coins, and I'll give you ten duck coins," Tong Jingchen also didn't believe Cao Mo could dunk.
"Fine! It's a bet! I really don't believe it. If you were really that capable, you could play in the NBA!" Er Chen shouted.
"Alright! Get the fifteen duck coins ready."
Cao Mo confidently got up and went onto the court.
At this moment, Wang Ziyan and Zisheng were playing basketball.
Cao Mo said loudly, "Place your bets! Who else wants to bet? I said I can perform a violent dunk, but Brother Tong and Er Chen don't believe me. Er Chen is betting five duck coins against me, Brother Tong is betting ten. Who else wants to bet against me?"
"I'm in! Brother Mo, you're at most about the same height as me, and you want to dunk! I don't believe it, I bet five duck coins you can't do it," Brother Wazi said.
"I'll bet too, I don't believe you can do a violent dunk," Zisheng added.
"My actual height is 1.8 meters, anyone else want to place a bet? Place your bets now!" Cao Mo said.
"Then I'll bet five duck coins too. Dunking at 1.8 meters, what a joke. Unless your jumping ability is at a professional player level—no, wait, even Curry struggles to dunk, and you want to do a violent dunk," Ying Xiaojie said.
"Then I'll bet five duck coins too, I bet that Master Mo can perform a violent dunk. It's all about the attitude. You guys don't think he can, but I do," Tian Jiu said loudly.
Upon hearing this, Cao Mo pointed at Tian Jiu and said, "Good! Master Jiu, you've got guts. Just for that attitude, when I win, I'll give you ten duck coins!"
"No problem! Master Mo, you're the man!" Tian Jiu replied with a smile.
At this moment, the girls still on the court also noticed this side and all turned their attention over.
