"Actually, I lied to you guys. I don't have a family. I'm an orphan." Xie Mingzhe said calmly.

"An orphan?" Everyone's eyes widened. They couldn't believe the optimistic guy was an orphan.

"That's right." Xie Mingzhe gave a natural expression and explained, "I grew up in an orphanage. The director of the orphanage was like my mother who carefully took care of me and sent me to take painting cla.s.ses. I took the college entrance examination in June this year and got admitted into the fine art department of Capital University. Then I came to the capital to hunt for a job so that I can afford my living expenses in college. However, I accidentally fell from the third floor and broke my head. I became a vegetable and lay on the Affiliated Hospital of Capital University's bed for a whole month after the accident. I didn't tell you the truth before because I didn't want you guys to pity me.”

So far, what he had said was true. However, the experience sounded so unreal that everyone was incredulous.

Chen Xiao thought this was crazy, "So you said you were hospitalized before, and you were saying that you broke your head and became a vegetable?"

"Yes." Xie Mingzhe added, "I have had a lot of fantasies since I was a child. Every time an interesting bit came into my mind I would draw it as practice. This time I was in a coma in the hospital for a month. Surprisingly, my Inner Spirit even got stronger after I rallied and all those painting ideas just kept flowing into my mind."

If he became famous someday, his history and background would definitely be completely investigated——so he had already woven a story as his shield: a dreamy boy who loves painting had stronger Inner Spirit after recovering from a coma. He combined the fake part and the true part together. The records of him being hospitalized as a vegetable were available for inquiry. And it was true that he was an orphan as well as a student in the fine art department of Capital University. Even if someone was sceptical about his story, they wouldn't find any holes.

Chen Xiao couldn't find any obvious flaws in his words, then he turned to Chi Yingying who immediately said, "I heard from my husband that there was a vegetable whose surname was Xie in the Neurosurgeon department of their hospital. He regained his consciousness and was discharged from the hospital several days ago after a whole month's coma. He also said that it was a medical miracle. No way! That guy was you!"

Xie Mingzhe smiled, "What a coincidence. Is your husband a doctor of the affiliated hospital?"

Chi Yingying said, "He worked in the department of cardiology which is right above the Neurosurgeon department's office. It is said that the precedent of a vegetable waking up is pretty rare, so a lot of doctors heard the news that you were discharged from the hospital. Many doctors said that you were blessed by G.o.d. Otherwise, the possibility that a patient in a severe coma, like you, could recover is less than 1%."

Unexpectedly, Chi Yingying's husband was a doctor of that hospital, which meant he didn't need to explain further with Chi Yingying unintentionally being his witness.

After Chi Yingying said that, everyone present was rea.s.sured immediately. They expressed their amazement at Xiao Xie's good fortune one after another. After a series of accidents, becoming a vegetable and luckily regaining consciousness, his wits shockingly increased instead of decreasing. The only reasonable explanation was that he was blessed by G.o.d.

Chen Xiao patted Xie Mingzhe's shoulder and sighed, "It must be tough for you to grow up without parents taking care of you for so many years. Now you can set your mind at rest since you got us, and we will treat you as our family."

If Xie Mingzhe hadn't had any friends in this world and worked alone, he would have failed at a later stage. For him, Brother Chen was a trustworthy person whom he had dealt with most frequently. His talent was frighteningly great and it was reasonable that a normal person would suspect it. Currently, however, Chen Xiao and his men were rea.s.sured, which meant that they would help him sincerely from now on.

Xie Mingzhe proactively raised his goblet and sincerely said, "I'm the lucky guy meeting all of you. And if Brother Chen didn't provide me with the opportunity, I wouldn't have my first taste of the game, Star Card Storm, not to mention finding my card making talent. Brother Chen, you're the lucky star in my life. I toast to all of you!"

Chen Xiao briskly raised his goblet, "It is really touching to hear you say that. From now on we are a family. I hate traitors very much, so I hope we can keep solidarity with Xiao Xie no matter what we decide to do in the future, establishing a club or just running a card store."

Everyone raised their goblets excitedly and drained them.

After swigged down his wine, Xie Mingzhe immediately got to the point, "Since we have decided to work together, we should talk about the dividend stuff. Brother Chen said before that each one gets 2% of the store's income as a dividend. What do you think?"

Pang Yu's eyes glittered with excitement when he heard that, "If I recall correctly, the store's made 6,000,000 gold coins merely this noon, and 2% of the number is 120,000 gold coins, which can compete with half of the previous month's income. I mean, don't you think this is too much?"

Chen Xiao said, "Xiao Pang is right. 2% dividend is a little bit high."

Xie Mingzhe said, smiling, "A real united group is priceless. 2% is fine."

He wanted to work with partners who were willing to help him from the very bottom of their hearts. No matter what happens in the future, as least he had someone supporting him. Money could be easily earned, while wholehearted partners were hard to find.

Hearing what he said, Chen Xiao looked at Xie Mingzhe with a serious face, "The store's income will become higher and higher in the future. Are you sure that you really want to share such a large amount of money with us?"

"Why not?" Xie Mingzhe answered without hesitation, "You guys would be more motivated with a large percentage. Even though our store just opened, I'm quite confident about us."

The most important thing was that he was confident about his imagination. [Lin Daiyu] and [Wu Song] were unexpected bonuses, while subsequent cards, [Xue Baochai], [Xi Shi], [w.a.n.g Zhaojun], [Cao Chong] and so on, were completely from his imagination. In addition, his talent was even recognized by a large number of legends, such as Nie Yuandao and Zheng Feng. They proactively invited him to join their clubs, which proved that this was not just in his mind, but he had the ability to make original cards for sure.

With a large number of character material in his mind, he would definitely make more impressive cards in the future. Therefore, he should take the long view and start his own business.

He had experienced the worst thing when he was a kid. Now everything would be fine compared to his previous plight.

Chen Xiao looked at the teenager in front of him and was surprised by his confident and calm manner. Since he was so a.s.sured and gifted at making cards, he should put his own plan on the agenda……

Chen Xiao lowered his head, deep in meditation.

They spent the whole afternoon having fun outside and didn't come back until it was dark.

Xiao Pang and Jin Yue were drunk and directly returned to their dormitory to sleep. Chi Qing sent Chi Yingying home. Xie Mingzhe and Brother Chen were still sober. After taking a bath, he went to the balcony on the second floor. As expected, he saw Chen Xiao smoking on the balcony too. Thinking that Brother Chen might have something to say to him, he opened the door and walked onto the balcony, "Brother Chen, why are you still up?"

Chen Xiao turned around and seriously looked him in the eye.

It was rare to see the serious expression from a young man who was dispirited all the time.

The man's eyes were extremely deep and mysterious at the time, then he asked in a unique and husky voice, "Xiao Xie, since you have made your mind to keep walking on the original card road, I want to help you with a particular thing, in other words, I ask you to help me."

"You helping me equals asking me to help you?" Xie Mingzhe was puzzled by him, "What is this really about, Brother Chen?"

"I want to take you to meet a person." Chen Xiao paused for a second and said, "I shouldn't…… bother him. However, I think he can definitely help you."

It was just to meet a person, and Brother Chen was so cautious. Obviously that was a very important person.

Xie Mingzhe nodded affirmatively, "Okay. Who am I going to meet them?"

Chen Xiao kept silent for a moment, and then said in a retrospective tone, "My older brother, Chen Qianlin."

Xie Mingzhe, "……"

He thought his brother had already died……

Wait a minute. Why did the name Qianlin sound so familiar?

Qianlin Restaurant?

Suddenly Xie Mingzhe recalled that the name of Tang Muzhou's restaurant in the game was Qianlin Restaurant. Was it possible that that restaurant was related to Chen Qianlin? Today it was obvious that Sister Xue knew Chen Xiao. To sum up, the probability that Chen Xiao's brother was connected with Tang Muzhou was great.

Xie Mingzhe tried hard to stifle his sense of curiosity and asked, "When will we go to see your brother?"

"Tomorrow. We cannot afford any delays." Chen Xiao approached him and patted Xie Mingzhe's shoulder encouragingly. Then he said in a low voice, "My brother is a real card making a genius. He is awesome. If he was willing to instruct you, you would master the skills of battle cards more quickly for certain. The problem is that he has left the league for a really long time, and he is not that happy……to see me." Speaking of this, he had a glint of sadness in his eyes, but he cheered up quickly and went on saying, with a smile, "I'll try to persuade him into making you an apprentice. Get some rest tonight, we'll get up early tomorrow and leave at nine."

Noticing the complicated expression on this man's face, Xie Mingzhe wisely decided not to ask any questions. He just nodded, "Okay. Good night, Brother Chen."
