The Strongest Boss System

Chapter 18: Chapter 12 Changes in Happy Forest_1



As a loyal customer of Happy Forest, when Young Master Sun arrived, someone immediately reported his presence, and Boss Liu of Drunken Moon Building personally came out to greet him.

"Hahaha, Young Master Sun, you haven't come here for a month, and the girls in Drunken Moon have missed you terribly. I've especially spared our two top courtesans for you today," Boss Liu said jokingly, his face bursting with amiable smiles.

"You always treat me right, Old Liu."

Young Master Sun claps Boss Liu's shoulder and rubs his hands together: "I haven't placed a bet in a month, I'm itching to try my luck after building it up for so long. Take me to the casino first, have the girls get ready for me," he instructed.

Having said this, Young Master Sun headed towards the Shunde Casino.

Boss Liu quickly stopped him: "Shunde Casino has closed down long ago, I have a newly opened casino, its interior is brand new, and all the dealers were dug up from Shunde Casino."

Young Master Sun was surprised: "Old Huang's Shunde Casino was making tons of money, has he gone mad to suddenly give that up?"

A hint of embarrassment momentarily flashed across Boss Liu's face, but was quickly concealed by his purposeful diversion of the topic.

On one side of Drunken Moon building, Su Xin had turned the Shunde Casino into his territory while the newly established Longqing Casino was on the other.

Longqing Casino's boss does indeed have an eye for business .

Seeing Boss Huang's business ruined by Su Xin, who had deftly acquired Boss Huang's wealth while avoiding controversies, he realized that they as businessmen, stood no chance against Su Xin.

If they couldn't beat him, they had to join him to optimize profits.

Being adjacent to Drunken Moon Building, the largest brothel in Happy Forest, inevitably meant more booming business for the casino.

So he decisively offered 1000 silvers to Su Xin, securing a plot beside the Drunken Moon building.

"Huh? Why are the girls from Drunken Moon now at the casino?"

Seeing a line of popular courtesans from Drunken Moon at the entrance of the Longqing Casino, Young Master Sun was taken aback.

"This is a new service we've introduced at Happy Forest, Young Master Sun, feel free to choose a few," said Boss Liu with a beaming smile.

"Impressive," Sun smirked, waving his hand and entering the casino with two familiar courtesans.

Upon entering the casino, Young Master Sun realized that many things had changed.

Throughout the casino, nimble boys darted around with snacks and drinks. Anyone wanting anything could simply take it.

If one fancied a full meal, the boys had menus on their trays. Once the order was placed, it was sent to the restaurant across the street and delivered as quickly as possible.

Those who used to roll dice were replaced by courtesans from Drunken Moon building. While their movements were not as skilled, they were delightful to watch.

Young Master Sun's eyes lit up. He grabbed a pot of wine and dashed towards a gambling table with some silver notes.

"500 silvers, all on 'big'! Haven't gambled in a month, won't be satisfied until I've made a killing!"

"Big Spender isn't it, Young Master Sun? The two courtesans applauded, causing Sun to burst into laughter.

The dice cup opened at just the right time to reveal a five, four, four, adding up to thirteen - 'big'.

"Hahaha! Looks like fortune favours me today!"

Young Master Sun roared with laughter, sweeping a huge pile of silver notes and silvers towards himself. He casually stuffed two notes into the courtesans' bodices, copping a feel in the process.

The pair's eyes gleamed at the sight of the silver notes.

Each note was worth 100 silvers, usually they'd have to pamper customers to earn such high tips, but they'd earned 100 each without lifting a finger.

Onlookers were green with envy, bellowing: "Get me a pair of big-breasted girls too, I'm betting big on 'big' today!"

Boss Liu and Boss Chen of Longqing Casino exchanged glances, a smirk spread across their faces.

The next day at noon, Young Master Sun climbed out of his warm and soft bed, recalling the events of last night with a smirk.

"This place is so good! I must bring those country bumpkins Old Li and his lot to experience this. Compared to Happy Forest, Changde Square is nothing!"

The grand reopening of Happy Forest left a lasting impression on regular patrons like Young Master Sun.

Given how small Changning Prefecture is, any news would be the talk of the town within a day.

News of the new amenities being offered at Happy Forest spread across Changning Prefecture in just three days, and everyone who came to try them had only good things to say.

Subsequently, Happy Forest saw an explosive increase in customer traffic. By the time the establishments in Changde Square – the casinos and brothels – reacted, it was already too late.

They did not have the ability to evolve so quickly, nor did they have the time to do so.

Only a few of the richest business owners managed to purchase several properties to renovate based on Happy Forest's model, but even then, they did not compare in scale.

After one month, the shop owners in Happy Forest calculated that their net income had increased by at least two-fold this month! For some, it had even doubled!

The one who earned the most, like Boss Liu of the Drunken Moon building, had his profits multiply an astonishing five times.

Previously, it was the casinos that made most of the money in Happy Forest, but now, it was the brothels.

With Su Xin's changes, the young masters gambling at Happy Forest were very generous, stuffing silver into the maids' clothes whenever they won a game.

These extravagantly wealthy owners made a killing. Of course, they also had to pay Su Xin his share of the dividends.

Su Xin never trusted any of the owners of Happy Forest, not even the seemingly obedient Boss Liu of Drunken Moon building.

When it came time to divvy up the proceeds, Su Xin had Huang Bingcheng bring several accountants to check the books of the various businesses, to ensure they were not concealing their profits.

Upon investigation, some were indeed under-reporting their earnings.

Su Xin didn't say much. He simply had his gang members break the hands of those fraudulent accountants on the spot.

The bosses instantly turned pale, daring not to engage in any more trickery and obediently handed over the calculated dividends.

Huang Bingcheng arrived at Su Xin's home with two large containers of silver, a look of excitement on his face, "Boss, guess how much we made this month?"

"Oh? How much?"

Huang Bingcheng opened up the two large containers, revealing a dazzling treasure of silver.

"A full eighty thousand taels! And this is just the first month. As Happy Forest's reputation grows next month, business will inevitably continue to boom, and we will earn even more silver than this month!" Huang Bingcheng's face was flushed red with excitement, as if he'd been injected with adrenaline.

"Really, so much." Su Xin was equally taken aback.

According to his initial estimate, the first month's dividend should have been about thirty thousand taels. He hadn't expected there to be eighty thousand taels, almost tripling his initial estimate.

It seemed like there was no shortage of wealthy people in Changning Prefecture, after all, it was once the capital of the Great Zhou, so there must be quite a wealth.

Touching his beard, Su Xin said, "Take thirty thousand taels from this total and give it to Third Master Tiger. Tell our brothers to all gather at the hall."

"Th...Thirty thousand taels!" Huang Bingcheng looked at Su Xin in surprise, his eyes bulging and his mouth agape.

The property of Shunde Casino was previously given to Third Master Tiger to facilitate the acquisition of the casino under his name.

However, this thirty thousand taels of profit seemed to be given away for free.

"We can't swallow all this money, if we push too hard, we'll choke."

With a slight smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, Su Xin said, "There's more joy in sharing, after all. Consider this an act of filial piety towards my 'righteous father.'"

Huang Bingcheng, as one of the old members of the Flying Eagle Gang, understood Su Xin's intentions. This money was essentially protection money.

Although it felt somewhat frustrating, what needed to be given had to be given.

As Huang Bingcheng and his men left, Su Xin heard the System's voice inside his head, "Congratulations to the host for completing the mainline task: 'Heroic Posture (1)', reward: 200 Villain Points and one mid-level lottery draw."

Entering the System, Su Xin asked, "How many lottery draws do I have now?"

The System responded, "Host currently has 33 primary lottery draws and one mid-level lottery draw. Would the host like to use them now?"

After contemplating a bit, Su Xin shook his head and said, "Better not, let's save it for next time."

With more than a month of saving, his primary lottery draws were equivalent to three mid-level lottery draws. Coupled with the mid-level lottery draw awarded by the mainline task, he had a total of four draws.

Mid-level lottery draws were unpredictable, so Su Xin planned to save up more and do multiple draws at once, hoping to win something valuable.
