Chapter 164 - 152: The Heaven-Defying Effect of the Upgraded Buff

Chapter 164: Chapter 152: The Heaven-Defying Effect of the Upgraded Buff

This was the first time Gu Heng had been down to the living quarters below the main deck since boarding the Princess X95 flybridge yacht.

Compared to the open vistas of the flybridge and the bright, spacious main deck, the living quarters felt warm and cozy.

Descending the stairs from the main deck revealed a small, circular lounge.

It wasn’t large, but it was fully equipped.

It had a TV, a sofa, a wine cabinet, and a wet bar, with two VIP cabins and two guest cabins hidden behind the circular wall panels.

Gu Heng led the six girls down and pointed to the two guest cabins. "Both guest cabins have double beds, perfect for the four of you. They have en suite bathrooms, so get some rest."

Gu Heng was speaking to Yaya, Lili, and the twin sisters. When he finished, he turned to Bingbing and Yangyang, whose cheeks were flushed. "Xinxin should be done with her shower. You two go back to your room and get cleaned up. I’m going to wash up in VIP Cabin 2. I’ll come find you after."

"Okay."

Hearing Gu Heng’s bluntness, Bingbing and Yangyang’s already flushed faces turned an even deeper shade of red. But they had already received an immense fortune; now it was their turn to put in the work.

Having made the arrangements, Gu Heng paid them no more mind and turned to walk straight toward VIP Cabin 2. However, he had only taken a couple of steps before he turned back.

"Play a round of rock-paper-scissors."

Gu Heng looked at the six girls and suddenly gave the order.

Hearing this, the girls all looked utterly confused.

But even though they didn’t know why Gu Heng had made such a strange request, they still obediently did as he asked.

"Rock, paper, scissors..."

It took three rounds before they had a final winner.

The winner, surprisingly, was Yaya, whose innocent appearance was a stark contrast to her personality.

"Chairman Gu, I won..."

Yaya raised her small fist, whispering to Gu Heng.

"Just borrowing some of your luck."

Gu Heng reached out and patted Yaya on the head. With a slightly gentler smile, he turned and walked back toward VIP Cabin 2.

The girls were all baffled, but they knew better than to question the whims of a powerful man like Gu Heng, so they didn’t dwell on it.

Their eyes met, and a strange awkwardness hung in the air.

Bingbing and Yangyang, about to participate in the "group battle," silently turned and headed for VIP Cabin 1, while the twin sisters looked at Yaya and Lili.

"Which room do you want?"

One of the twins, Shuyue, asked Lili politely.

"We’re fine with either."

Lili waved her hand, graciously deferring.

"Then we’ll take the one on the left."

Shuyue smiled and didn’t stand on ceremony. "Get some rest."

Soon, the twin sisters went into Guest Cabin 1.

"Stop staring~"

"Look at you, completely smitten~"

Lili waved a hand in front of Yaya’s face. "Chairman Gu is already in his room. Let’s go back to ours and get some rest."

"Lili, do you think we’ll be able to get some rest early?"

"Do you think that’s something we can decide?"

Yaya snapped out of her daze, pressing her glossy lips together. "We’re right next door to VIP Cabin 1. How good do you think the soundproofing on a yacht can be?"

"I guess you’re right..."

Once Lili understood what Yaya meant, a blush crept onto her naturally alluring face. She then muttered under her breath, "Half an hour should be long enough, right?"

"Who knows."

"I get the feeling Chairman Gu is in pretty good shape."

Yaya’s eyes flickered as she gazed in the direction Gu Heng had disappeared.

"Good or not, we’re about to find out, aren’t we?~"

Lili winked at Yaya, then grabbed her arm. "Come on, let’s go. We need to shower. I feel so gross after running around all day."

"I’ll shower first, then."

"You go first. It’s fine, I need to edit some photos anyway."

...

「Inside VIP Cabin 2.」

As soon as Gu Heng entered, he locked the cabin door from the inside.

The yacht’s crew had already performed the turndown service, and two brand-new bathrobes were laid out neatly on the large bed.

Gu Heng stripped off his clothes, tossed them aside, and walked naked into the bathroom to turn on the shower.

’Father Tongzi!’

’Claim rewards!’

Gu Heng wiped his face with the very hands that had just touched Yaya’s lucky little head, calling out silently in his mind.

Instantly, the system responded.

[Congratulations, Host, you have received a reward: 8-hour Consumption Refund Card x1]

[Use now?]

[Congratulations, Host, you have received a reward: Buff Upgrade Card x1]

[Use now?]

Facing Father Tongzi’s questions, Gu Heng chose to use the 8-hour Consumption Refund Card first.

A crisp notification sound chimed in his mind, and the system’s holographic screen appeared.

[Host has successfully used the 8-hour Consumption Refund Card]

[Randomly drawing refund ratio...]

[Congratulations, Host, you have received a 1.3x random refund ratio]

[Calculating consumption...]

[Host’s online consumption within 8 hours totaled 58,946,900 yuan]

[System will issue a refund of 76,630,970 yuan]

When Gu Heng saw that he had actually gotten a 1.3x refund ratio, he was absolutely delighted.

He had lived it up all evening, not only getting a Level 75 TikTok account and capturing the hearts of numerous beauties, but he had ended up not spending a single cent. In fact, he had actually turned a profit of over 17 million yuan.

The money wasn’t a huge amount, but the thrill of getting everything for free was incredible.

’I didn’t think Yaya would actually be my little lucky star.’

As Gu Heng thought this, his mind couldn’t help but drift to Xu Mo, who was far away in Beichun.

Recalling the fiasco of that one night, Gu Heng felt that if Momo had been here just now and he had borrowed her luck instead, he might have drawn the maximum 1.5x refund ratio.
