Genius Daddy in the City - Chapter 167

Chapter 167: 167

As soon as Ye Chen stated his answer, everyone in the house was shocked . Disbelief filled their faces and they thought they heard it wrong .

 The smirk on Zhuo Wei’s face froze and he looked terrible . “Are you crazy? Do you really want to play that?”

 Russian roulette was a rather cruel betting game . Compared to poker and mahjong, the betting tool was a revolver while the wager was human lives .

 Either one or a few bullets would be inserted in the six slots in the barrel of the revolver . Then, the cylinder would be spun simply and the players would point the revolver against their heads and pull the trigger .

 It would determine who would win and who would die . It was cruel as it tested one’s luck and courage .

 That was the reason why Zhuo Wei was shocked after he heard Ye Chen’s answer . Wang Qing and Qin Yao also looked like they were staring at a mad man .

 “Do you have the guts?” Ye Chen said coldly .

 Zhuo Wei’s face flushed . “I don’t accept such a request from you . I…”

 “Then, you’re useless!” Ye Chen chuckled . “You don’t even dare to play this, so what gives you the right to be reluctant to let me take up the position?”

 “You…”

 Zhuo Wei was enraged . As an elite in the military, when had he ever been condemned like that? Rage took over him whereby he clenched his teeth and said, “Sure, I’m in . ”

 “Don’t, Zhuo Wei . Are you out of your mind? It’s going to kill one of you . ” Wang Qing’s expression changed and she stopped him immediately .

 As soon as one played this game, unless they gave up halfway, someone would definitely lose their life . No matter whether it was Zhuo Wei or Ye Chen who would be killed, it was bad news .

 Qin Yao glared coldly at Ye Chen . “Is that fun for you?”

 Ye Chen ignored her . Instead, he looked at Zhuo Wei who had already agreed to that . He wanted to give up, but he did not want to be embarrassed before Qin Yao . He could only ask, “Do you have a revolver?”

 From the beginning, he thought Ye Chen was merely scaring him . After all, it was impossible for a regular person to have a gun, let alone a revolver .

 “I happen to have one . ”

 Ye Chen saw through his thoughts . As he smiled, a revolver appeared in his hand . He had gotten it from Barton .

 Upon seeing the revolver materialize, Zhuo Wei looked terrible as if he had eaten a fly .

 Ye Chen picked it up and opened the barrel to find six bullets in there .

 He took out one bullet and left five inside . He said while looking at Zhuo Wei, “There are five bullets inside, so only one slot is empty . That means that each of us has a chance of firing…”

 Zhuo Wei staggered as soon as he heard that . He fell from the couch onto the ground directly .

 ‘Mad! He’s really crazy…’ Wang Qing and Qin Yao opened their eyes wide . They suspected that Ye Chen had really gone insane .

 Every time the revolver was shot, the cylinder would spin . If there was only one empty slot, someone might be killed on the first shot . If the first shot did not kill the person, the second shot would .

 In other words, as soon as they played the game, either Ye Chen or Zhuo Wei would die as soon as the revolver was fired .

 Zhuo Wei looked at Ye Chen in fear . His lips quivered . “Lunatic! You’re really a lunatic . I’m not playing with you . I surrender, I surrender . ”

 “Useless b*stard!” Ye Chen squeezed those two words out of his mouth coldly . Subsequently, he put back the bullet that he had removed earlier .

 When everyone thought that he would give up, they saw him pick the revolver up before spinning the cylinder gently . He pointed the muzzle against his head when the cylinder stopped spinning .

 Wang Qing wanted to stop him by instinct because the barrel was full and he would definitely die once he fired!

 However, the gun fired in the next second .

 Wang Qing could not help but close her eyes . She seemed to be unwilling to see the gory scene . Qin Yao did the same too . Although she did not get along with Ye Chen, it was not to the point that she wanted him dead .

 Among the three of them, Zhuo Wei was the only one who kept his eyes open . However, his face was filled with shock . “H-how is that possible?!”

 The moment the shot was fired, he saw Ye Chen extend two fingers quickly to grip the bullet .

 1Most importantly, the muzzle was less than ten centimeters from his head . Ten centimeters aside, one should not have been able to dodge that even if the muzzle was 100 meters away .

 However, Ye Chen managed to catch the bullet .

 Upon hearing Zhuo Wei’s voice, Wang Qing and Qin Yao opened their eyes immediately . They looked horrified .

 They could not believe it no matter what if they did not witness that with their own eyes .

 Ye Chen did not seem to have seen their faces . He smiled and pointed the muzzle against his head again .

 Bang!

 A shot was fired .

 The second the gunshot was heard, the three of them saw Ye Chen’s fingers on his forehead without even knowing when they moved . There was a bullet between his two fingers .

 The three of them were shocked .

 If they had still been suspicious earlier, only shock remained now .

 Subsequently, Ye Chen picked up the revolver and fired at his forehead . Instead of grabbing the bullet this time, he allowed the bullets to hit him .

 Ding!

 Zhuo Wei and the rest heard a twang as if the bullet had been fired at a metal board .

 When they looked again, they realized that nothing had happened to Ye Chen’s forehead . Meanwhile, there was a bullet that seemed to have been crushed on the ground…

 Dead silence filled the scene .

 Zhuo Wei looked as if he had just seen a ghost while Wang Qing and Qin Yao were dumbstruck .

 Even bullets could not hurt him…

 “Haha…” Ye Chen chuckled for a while . Then, he looked at Zhuo Wei indifferently . “Let me ask you again . Are you willing to let me take up the position now?”

 “I-I do…” Zhuo Wei gulped as he felt a hum echoing in his head .

 Ye Chen nodded and looked at Wang Qing . “I can be the Firearms Division chef commander, but I have two conditions!”

“Please do tell, Mr . Ye!” Wang Qing bowed immediately . Now that she had seen his many techniques, she yielded to him wholeheartedly .

 “Firstly, after joining the Firearms Division, I won’t be reporting myself or training with you guys . You guys can’t restrict me . ”

 Wang Qing forced a smile . “Mr . Ye, we’re hiring you to train us . If you don’t go, then…”

 Ye Chen said, “Then, I won’t go in during a short period of time since the Military Base Competition usually happens during the New Year . Worst case, I’ll show up a month before the Military Base Competition .

 “Secondly, I need you guys to find Geographical Veins for me . ”

 That was the reason why he was willing to join the Firearms Division . It would be difficult for him to find Geographical Veins on his own, but it was a different story for the government .

 “Geographical Veins?” Wang Qing was slightly stunned and she subsequently looked at Zhuo Wei and Qin Yao . Both of them shook their heads to indicate that they had no idea about it .

 “They’re volcanoes in layman terms, especially extinct volcanoes or frozen ponds, the kind whereby people will freeze to death if they fell in . Chilly wind gap1 would work too as those can slice a person’s skin,” Ye Chen explained .

 Compared to Spiritual Veins, they produced spiritual stones while Geographical Veins were a unique, harsh environment .

 Just like extinct volcanoes that had stopped erupting, the flames within the veins had been accumulating to the extent that a fire spirit might even be produced . Another example would be chilly wind gaps . The gaps were filled with strong wind that was powerful enough to cut a person’s skin .

Meanwhile, one would need a Geographical Vein for building one’s foundation .

 Wang Qing came to a realization since she was a wise person . She knew what to ask and what not to . She said after taking a deep breath in, “Mr . Ye, I can’t agree to the two conditions that you’ve raised . I’ll need to speak to my superior . ”

 “Sure, contact me after that . ” Ye Chen nodded . He did not expect Wang Qing to say yes to him right away . After all, Geographical Veins were rare .

 After getting his response, Wang Qing and the rest stayed for a little while before leaving .

 On the other hand, Qin Yao glared at Ye Chen before leaving . Her pretty face looked pissed off . “You’d better watch out . My brother won’t let you go . ”
