Animals?
Humans are also a type of animal, aren't they?
Hu You subconsciously looked up at Mu Lingxiu, and a panel immediately popped up.
[Name: Mu Lingxiu.
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Skills: Perfect Service, Perfect First Aid, Perfect Nursing, Basic Firefighting, Perfect Dance.
Personality: Saintly, Compassionate, People-pleasing.
Affection: 20
Purity: 98]
[Note: Maximum Purity is 100. It decreases by 1 for each intimate encounter with a member of the opposite sex.]
This is great!
Now that he has the panel, he can confidently recruit talent!
Even if he had a boat, he would never be able to survive the post-rainstorm period if he relied solely on himself.
Crew, doctor, chef, and preferably bodyguards!
Of course, the prerequisite for all of this is... loyalty!
Only with an Affection rating of 90 or above can he fully trust the other party!
Fellow countrymen?
In his previous life, there were many instances of countrymen turning on each other.
"Mr. Hu."
Mu Lingxiu sensed Hu You's gaze and respectfully stepped forward: "Is there anything you need?"
"Not for now."
Hu You opened his eyes and looked at the pitch-black window: "How much longer until we land?"
"In half an hour, we will arrive at Macau Airport. The airport has already prepared VIP service for you."
"May I ask what your next itinerary is? We'll arrange a car for you."
Itinerary?
Oh, right, I was busy booking flights and forgot to book a hotel.
Time is of the essence. Anyway, I've already slept, so I'll go get the boat first!
"I want to buy a large yacht."
Hu You directly asked: "Can you find a seller for me?"
"This... please wait a moment."
Mu Lingxiu walked towards the cockpit.
A few minutes later, she walked back in high heels, holding a tablet.
"Mr. Hu, we just contacted the company, and our executives happen to know a Hong Kong tycoon who is preparing to sell a yacht."
"The information has been sent over; please take a look."
"Mmm."
Hu You acknowledged, took the tablet, and saw the detailed information of the yacht.
It was 155 meters long, with a beam of 19.2 meters, a displacement of 5517 tons, and a maximum speed of 19 knots.
In addition, it had a landing craft, two helicopter pads, two jet skis, and a lifeboat.
It could accommodate more than fifty people working on board and had thirty suites.
If it were just a small yacht, forty million would be easy to handle, but a yacht of this caliber... would probably cost hundreds of millions!
Hu You calmly browsed through the pictures, and on the last picture, he saw the marked price.
2.1 billion!
Installment payments are supported, with a minimum down payment of 50%!
"Where is this boat now?"
"It's in Macau."
Mu Lingxiu respectfully replied: "If you need it, we can contact the owner and arrange for you to see the boat as soon as possible."
"Contact them."
Hu You placed the tablet on the table and closed his eyes to rest.
The worst method would be to simply steal it.
But that thing is over a hundred meters long; even if he bypassed the port's supervisory personnel, it would be impossible to quietly steal it.
The best method would be to buy it.
1.05 billion!
He only had forty million, still nearly thirty times short!
Back then, Chen Daozai was able to win thirty-seven million with twenty yuan!
I have a system now, winning 1.1 billion with forty million shouldn't be a problem... right?
...1 AM, at the casino.
Hu You took out a gold bar, easily exchanged it for three hundred thousand in chips, and walked to the gambling table.
Playing dice.
The simplest game of chance.
Betting according to the points of the three dice in the dice cup, either betting on big or small, or on specific numbers.
Hu You tentatively looked at the dice cup, and a string of information immediately popped up.
[Name: Dice Cup, Dice (3, 2, 2)]
This is Perfect!
Hu You found a seat and placed all his chips on 'Small'!
...5 AM.
Hu You walked out of the casino.
After a night of intense gambling, his spatial backpack contained an unregistered bearer bond, with the number exactly 2.1 billion!
Thinking of rounding up, Hu You kept winning until he reached 3 billion before stopping.
In addition, 900 million in funds had been transferred to a bank card, to be used for purchasing supplies.
"Mr. Hu!"
The casino manager saw Hu You leaving and immediately came forward to greet him: "Our casino sincerely invites you to stay in the presidential suite of our affiliated hotel, free of charge."
"No need."
Hu You didn't want to rest yet.
Now that the money issue was settled, and the boat was on its way, the only thing missing was people!
At least, find suitable security personnel first!
Carrying three billion on him really gave him a sense of crisis!
"Alright, if you have any needs, whether it's security, accommodation, or tourism, you can come to me. I will serve you wholeheartedly."
"What do you mean?"
Hu You narrowed his eyes: "Surveillance?"
"Of course not!"
The casino manager immediately explained: "We are thinking about your safety. If something were to happen to you in Macau, our casino's business would be ruined!"
No wonder.
The casino's attitude was simply too good.
And their goal was also very simple: besides preserving the casino's reputation, they also wanted Hu You to come again next time!
After all, among the three billion Hu You won, only one hundred million belonged to the casino, while the remaining 2.9 billion was won from other high-end clients of the casino.
Even when gambling with those high-end clients, the casino alone took nearly twenty-nine million in commission from the winnings!
Such a client, of course, needed to be well maintained!
Gambling, one always loses in the end.
As long as the person keeps coming back, they will eventually spit out that money, principal and interest!
"That's good then."
The viewing time with the boat owner was scheduled for 1 PM, so there was still plenty of time.
Hu You looked at the casino manager and asked: "Do you know where there are reliable security companies?"
"Of course."
7 AM.
There were 156 hours left until the heavy rain.
Hu You, led by the casino manager, arrived at a security company.
It was said that they provided security services for all casinos in Macau, so their professional level was self-evident.
Every security guard was professionally trained, and many were even retired soldiers who had come from the battlefield.
Hu You went in and only said one sentence.
"I want the most top-tier, as soon as possible."
Seeing the casino manager accompanying him, the security company immediately began to call people.
In less than half an hour, twelve muscular men, all over 180 cm tall, stood before Hu You.
There were Black, White, and Asian people.
Hu You scanned them, and the panels of all twelve appeared before his eyes.
Having just met, everyone's Affection was 0.
Their Skills were also similar, nothing more than PerfectFirearms, Perfect Combat, Perfect First Aid, and so on.
However, one person stood out significantly.
[Name: Shen Shan.
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Skills: Perfect Survival, Perfect Combat, PerfectAssassination, Perfect Driving, Perfect Firearms, PerfectFirst Aid, Perfect Swimming, Perfect Off-roading, Perfect Cooking.
Personality: Daughter-lover, Righteous, Heroic, Loyal.
Affection: 0]
Three Perfect Skills, six Perfect Skills, besides off-roading being somewhat useless, he could be said to be born for the apocalypse!
Especially his personality!
Righteous, Heroic, Loyal!
These three modifiers were the Perfect choice for a bodyguard!
As for 'daughter-lover'... wouldn't it be fine to just bring his daughter onto the boat too!
However, he was not among these twelve, but rather at the entrance, sweeping the floor with a broom.
He looked less like a bodyguard and more like a cleaner.
Hu You got up and walked in front of Shen Shan. The other party seemed to sense something, looked up, and met his gaze.
"You're the one."
