Chapter Thirty-One: The Month of Madness

  Li Qiang's troubles have been resolved by Su Hong alone, and after a round of frank communication and information exchange, the small team led by Li Dairen is no longer as scattered as before, trusting each other and truly coming together.

  "It's time to strike! Although our three-man team is still not on the stage, compared to those real strongmen, we are far behind, but given time, there may be opportunities to catch up! Who knows, in the future, we may even have the chance to raise our own troops during the Crazy Month and establish a trial guild of our own!" Li Dairen clenched his fists, with a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes. As the boss of Quanqiang Corporation, he was not one to be content with being ordinary. Previously, it was because they were too weak, and he didn't dare to imagine anything, but now that Su Hong had joined, he saw a glimmer of hope.

  "What's this 'Madness Month'?" Su Hong couldn't help but ask, originally thinking that after a heart-to-heart conversation, there wouldn't be any more secrets between them, but who knew this guy still had an ace up his sleeve.

  "The month of madness, in the mouths of our trial-takers, is also called the City of Heaven, the City of Despair, and the Blood Moon City. Among them, the name 'Blood Moon City' is the most common. As for what the Blood Moon City really is... hehe, you'll find out later." Chu Ge lazily leaned back on the sofa, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, exhaling smoke rings as he smiled eerily.

  "Alright, since that's the case, I won't ask then..." Su Hong couldn't help but roll his eyes. These two guys were obviously trying to tease him, and he wasn't in the habit of seeking trouble for himself.

  Although Su Hong didn't ask, he had some guesses about Li Daire's "Crazy Moon". If his guess was correct, this "Crazy Moon" or "Blood Moon City" should be a large gathering place opened by the ruler, specially prepared for the trial-takers.

  He, who has already entered the Cemetery of the Moon twice, knows nothing about the Blood Moon City, which should be related to the Cycle of Death. Perhaps only by passing the test of the Cycle of Death at the end of the month can one obtain a pass to enter the Blood Moon City.

  It's no wonder that Li Dairen and the other person deliberately teased him, after all, it's pointless to tell him now because he can't get in anyway, so they might as well use this to satisfy their own mischievous desires.

  After thinking through various links, Su Hong smiled slightly and no longer got entangled in this small matter, but directly issued an order to drive the guests away.

  "Isn't it? This is going to drive us away, this is simply naked revenge!" Chu Ge exclaimed exaggeratedly, leaving Su Hong speechless.

  After getting familiar with her, Su Hong found that Chu Ge's personality was quite quirky. To put it nicely, she was lively and cheerful; to put it bluntly, she was a bit neurotic...

  However, Chu Ge is still very reliable in handling things. From helping his father wash away his crimes to dealing with the Li Qiang incident, it can be seen that Su Hong is still happy to interact with such a person.

  Compared to the straightforward Chu Ge, Li Dairen gives people a somewhat impenetrable feeling, but this may also have something to do with his identity and status. After all, someone who can become the boss of a top 100 national enterprise is not a simple character.

  Just then, Li Dairen smiled and asked: "Su Hong younger brother, you won't really drive us away, will you?"

  "Of course it's true, what's false about it?" Su Hong replied with a sly smile in his eyes.

  Now it's Li Dairen's turn to become depressed, as the leader of this small team, he had just gained a bit of ambition and was about to take Su Hong and Chu Ge on a big adventure, but who would have thought that he was suddenly doused with a splash of cold water.

  "Alright, big brother, I won't keep you in suspense anymore. Let me tell you about the events of that crazy month." Li Dairen said with a raised hand in surrender.

  "Hehe, Brother Li, it's fine to talk about this later. The reason I issued the 'Expel Guest' order wasn't just to play a joke on you guys, but because I just came out of the Cang Yue space and my physical condition hasn't fully recovered yet. So I want to rest for a few days, and after I've recuperated, I'll enter the Cang Yue space again." Su Hong explained with a smile.

  "So that's how it is, I had forgotten about this point, I was too impatient." Li Dairen said with a sigh of relief.

  "My body wasn't in its best state, and I easily defeated Li Qiang that guy. This makes me feel so ashamed in front of Old Li...” Chu Ge muttered to himself upon hearing this, but he didn't really mean to pressure Su Hong, and instead let it go with understanding."

  After chatting for a while, Li Dairen and Chu Ge were about to leave. Just as they were about to walk out the door, Li Dairen suddenly thought of something and turned around to suggest: "Su Hong, my brother, why don't you just move house? You and I are no longer ordinary people now, and in the future, we may face revenge from our enemies at any time. If you still live in this ordinary residential area, it's easy for people to find you. Even if you're not afraid, you have to consider your parents' safety."

  "Old Li is right, you need to think carefully about this. Although we can disguise ourselves in the Cang Yue space, it's not guaranteed that someone won't use special means to peek at your true appearance, which would be troublesome." Chu Ge put away his playful and frivolous attitude, and seriously advised.

  "Hmm, I thought of that too, I'll find a suitable place to live as soon as possible." Su Hong nodded and said.

  After what happened with Li Qiang, Su Hong was actually planning to move out anyway. Living in an ordinary residential area is really too dangerous. This time, it just so happened that his parents were being treated at the Union Hospital and weren't at home. Otherwise, if Li Qiang had suddenly shown up at their doorstep, he might have ended up hurting his parents, which was not something Su Hong wanted to see happen.

  "Haha, since Su Hong has the intention of moving house, then just move to my place, I have a luxurious villa and a large estate in the suburbs, I'll make sure you live comfortably. When Uncle and Aunt come out of the hospital later, they can also move over together." Li Dairen said with a smile.

  "This..."

  Seeing Su Hong's slight hesitation, Chu Ge smiled and patted Su Hong's shoulder, saying: "Don't have any psychological burden, Old Li's place is considered the base of our small team. When it was built, I mobilized my troops to turn it into a small military base. Unless we encounter a truly powerful person, there won't be any major safety issues. Moreover, that place is located in the suburbs and belongs to a private villa, so no one will disturb us. It's just right for us trial-takers who are struggling in the Cang Yue space to live."

  "Yes, why be polite to me? Besides, apart from you and me, there's nothing much going on in Xiao Chu's team, and most of the time we're also staying in the villa, it turns out that I, as the master, am actually the one who spends the least amount of time there due to being busy with work." Li Dairen said somewhat resentfully.

  "Haha, it's settled then! Let's pack up and get going! When we arrive, I've got a surprise for you, consider it a housewarming gift!" Chu Ge blinked his eyes and revealed a sly smile.

  Under the enthusiastic invitation of Li Dairen and Chu Ge, Su Hong did not decline. After some thought, he nodded in agreement. Moving house was a troublesome matter, and it was not certain that a suitable place could be found. Since Li Dairen had a ready-made place to live with good security measures, he was naturally happy to save himself the trouble.

  However, Su Hong did not plan to bring his parents over to live with him. This was not because he didn't trust Li Dairen, but rather because he was worried that the matters of Xuan Yue's space would affect the real world and put his parents in danger. Also, there were some things that he found hard to explain, and he didn't want his parents to worry about him.

  "When mom recovers and is discharged from the hospital, I'll buy a comfortable big house in the city, and let dad accompany her to spend their old age in peace." Su Hong thought to himself, although the housing prices in the city are expensive, he really isn't short of that amount of money now. If all else fails, he can just exchange some more RMB from Li Dairen.

  After making up her mind, Su Hong was very decisive. She packed a few clothes she often wore and, under the stunned gaze of Li Dairen and Chu Ge, picked up a large stack of DOTA game materials and walked downstairs with a smile.

  "It seems that from now on, we also have to learn from Su Hong's younger brother and study these DOTA materials carefully. Although many game rules are no longer applicable, it should still be helpful in some way. However, as I was saying, this huge stack of game materials is really too heavy... I don't have the strength attribute enhanced, but rather the agility attribute..." Chu Ge said with a bitter face, being temporarily dragged by Su Hong to do hard labor. Fortunately, there were Li Daren's bodyguards downstairs, so he didn't suffer for too long and started to slack off instead.

  On the way to Li Dairen's villa in the suburbs, Su Hong called his father and learned that his mother was gradually recovering from her illness under Professor Liu's careful treatment. What made him even happier was that he could hear from the phone call that after washing away the grievances of many years, his father was no longer as depressed and disheartened as before, and had become much more optimistic.

  After a two-hour drive, Li Dairen and his party arrived in front of a European-style villa, nestled in the mountains and surrounded by lush greenery, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere that greatly satisfied Su Hong.

  After dinner, Su Hong followed the servant to his residence. Soon after, he received the gift that Chu Ge had mentioned earlier - a beautiful woman with a pure appearance but an exceptionally sexy and fiery figure pushed open the door, revealing a sweet and alluring smile as she walked towards him who was just about to sleep, and very generously lay down on the bed, posing in a way that seemed to invite him to take her.
