Chapter 252 Special Item: A Raincoat That Likes Bad Weather
It was time for another weekly pickup of monster beans… Hehehehe.
Su Yang laughed in an evil manner as he left the villa door and went to the courtyard.
As a result, a red little monster bean suddenly ran in front of him, and exploded with a bang before he could catch them!
There were bean remains all over the place, and a small hole in the ground. Su Yang was confused…
‘What’s going on? A suicide attack because you knew you wouldn’t live long enough?’
Su Yang looked to the side and saw no one messing with it either…
As expected, little monster beans were the most explosive creatures. ‘I don’t know how the three milk tea brothers and No.17 and No. 18 survived for so long.’
Su Yang looked at the ground where some of the remains still remained and thought. ‘Why don’t we try this to make it work? It’s still warm…
‘Since it worked even when it was blown up inside in the past… For one that was this freshly blown up, the results should be similar…
So, Su Yang asked a few little monster beans who were watching to gather the exploded bits of the monster bean together, and then brought them to his sewing machine. Later, Su Yang wrapped it all in a bundle.
Looking at the strange mass of things in front of him, Su Yang tentatively opened the system store and clicked the (Submit] button.
Suddenly, three prompts popped up in front of him in a row.
(Detected: Use of defective materials.]
[Detected the use of rarer materials. Special items will give birth to additional abilities or talents. Confirm submission?)
‘I knew it. It’s defective material after it exploded outside.
‘But first, let’s see what effect it will have.’
Thinking so, Su Yang clicked (Confirm). Suddenly, the sewing machine and the bag of strange items on top of it disappeared into thin air. A moment later, a thin, cicada-like, light and transparent raincoat floated down from the air…
Su Yang quietly moved two steps to the side to avoid the raincoat from falling onto his face as he quietly watched it fall to the ground.
Then he sat back on the sofa, wondering what to do while waiting for the item interface to appear. In the past, he would have just moved out of the (Small Bench That Refuses To Eat <elons] to eat something, but now, he felt like he had a more meaningful thing to do… Counting money!
Young Master Ying gave him four suitcases of money! ‘If you don’t count it yourself, it’s like you didn’t get it!’
Su Yang looked around the living room and found the four silver suitcases next to the TV that he later dragged to the sofa. Then, he placed them on the coffee table in order, and slowly opened them.
After the boxes of cash appeared in front of Su Yang, his eyes lit up. ‘My god, that’s a lot of money!’ All the money was sealed in bundles and there were a dozen of them, that’s a thousand dozen!
Su Yang casually pulled out a dozen and pressed his thumb on it, slowly letting go. Suddenly, the rustling sound of money was heard and to him, it felt like that sound was the most beautiful sound in this world.
As he heard the sound of rustling money, he really felt it was the most beautiful sound in the world. Looking at the table full of money, Su Yang can’t help but feel a little shocked.
It was no wonder some companies liked to use cash for their year-end awards. The shock of looking at a bundle of cash in front of you versus having it in your bank were completely different feelings.
Four suitcases of money compared to ten million in cold, hard, cash was a complete visual delight.
Su Yang’s eyes were shining as he counted the money in the boxes one by one. ‘250 bundles per box for a total of 1,000 bundles, it’s indeed 10 million.’
From now on, all this money was his.
Su Yang couldn’t help but be a bit happy. Three months ago he was a poor student who was worried about 1,000 yuan. Now, he easily had 10 million!
Just when he was feeling proud of himself, a beep was heard in his mind as a Silver Quest triggered. (Learning to spend money.)
Su Yang was confused.
He looked puzzled. ‘What the hell? Is this the second silver mission?
‘The first one was about making money, so why is the second one about spending money?
‘Spending money on a mission?’
Su Yang tapped on the system interface and looked at the new silver mission.
(Silver Quest: Learning to spend money.)
Mission: Spend all ten million.
Time Limit: One month.
Mission Note: Learning how to make money is important, but learning how to spend money is equally important. Money is only worthwhile if you spend it, so please spend all ten million within a month. There’s no limit to the types of things you can spend on. These include but are not limited to buying real estate, investment companies, movies, charity, food or even entertainment businesses. Cheating by giving it away and then asking for it back are deemed invalid.
Friendly Tip: Please try to make every penny you spend worthwhile.
Su Yang looked at the silver mission and felt like there was more than what met the eye. It was either that or there was some hidden meaning to it..
From the get go, the mission seemed rather simple to complete. All he had to do was spend his money. If he hurried, Su Yang would be able to spend all ten million tonight.
However, Su Yang earned this money with blood and sweat, not to mention that this was the entirety of his worldly possessions. ‘I can’t just spend it!’
So, although this mission was to get Su Yang to spend money, the essence was to get Su Yang to understand that money had to be spent to have more value. Only when it flowed could more money be created. Moreover, different ways of spending money brought different results.
For example, if he were to buy a house, he would just obtain the house if one didn’t look at the rise or fall of the prices. That, in itself, would make the purchase a complete waste of money.
Of course, he could also invest in companies but the investment here would lean more toward venture capital and carried a lot of risk. However, if he invested in a proper company, he’d still make a lot of money in the future.
Put simply, there were thousands of ways to spend money, but he had to find the one that worked best for him.
Silver points were hard to come by but 10 million was equally hard to come by!
‘What are we going to do with 10 million? I think diversifying would be the best route to take. Perhaps, investing some in long term investments while putting the rest in short-term investments that would help him recoup his investment faster would be much better. After all, I have a couple of companies under my belt so I need the cash flow.’
The lesson he learned from what happened to Junqing in the past was huge. Cash flow was the life of a business!
He’d also have to spend for the work-study app and the Find Me app next. These would require quite a bit of cash as well.
‘I have a headache…’
For the first time, Su Yang had a headache over spending money reasonably.
‘If only I could spend 10 million and get 100 million in return, that’d be good… Sigh.’
While Su Yang was worrying about the silver mission, the raincoat finally fell on the ground and a system interface appeared.
Raincoat +1: Gained special ability – Raincoat That Likes Bad Weather.
‘A raincoat that likes bad weather? That’s bullshit! Which raincoat doesn’t like bad weather?! After all, it only works on rainy days!’
Thinking like that, Su Yang clicked on that ability, wanting to see what it could do.
After a moment, the description of the ability appeared in front of him.
[Raincoat That Likes Bad Weather]
Ability: You’ll be invisible if you wear it during a rainy day but not under the sun…
Limitations: This invisibility ability is only valid on rainy days.
Note: What would happen if the rain suddenly stops…
Su Yang was speechless.
‘What’s this? It’s an invisibility cloak!
‘But why an invisibility cloak that can only make you invisible on rainy days!
‘That’s an odd restriction!’
He was granted the ability to add points to emotions, peek into memories, pause time, and now he could even be invisible… This system, it’s getting more and more unorthodox!
As the purest person in the world, Su Yang decided that he must not be led astray by the system!
This invisibility suit that could only be used on rainy days… Although the effect wasn’t as powerful, Su Yang still had hope that there were additional abilities and special changes that would appear later. ‘Perhaps, the additional ability would be a particularly awesome one!’
Su Yang’s thoughts wandered. ‘If it was an additional ability that could make invisibility take effect just by eating fruit, wouldn’t that be even more awesome?! If you eat fruit in your raincoat, you’ll always be invisible! You’ll be able to go anywhere you want… Heh heh heh. Like going to the movies without a ticket!’
So it all came down to additional abilities.
Thinking so, Su Yang rubbed his hands, ready to tap on the additional ability to see what he got.
As a result, just as he had opened the introduction to (Raincoat That Likes Bad Weather), he suddenly heard Deeny’s voice in his ears, “Master! Something’s up! Someone’s knocking on the door!” ‘Huh? Someone’s at the door?’
‘Who’s looking for me at night? Sixth Liu? Or is it Pan Zhaodi?’
Su Yang was a little surprised as he stepped out of the virtual space.
Surely enough, there was a knock at the door.
Su Yang got up and opened the door. There was a familiar person standing outside the door.
She had a baby face, a little baby fat, was not tall, and looked cute. Wearing a Pikachu t-shirt with a Pikachu who had an especially fat face.
Su Yang was a little surprised to see Qu Xiaomeng standing in front of his house and said, “Teacher Qu, what are you doing here?”
Qu Xiaomeng was a little embarrassed as she replied, “Is it convenient for us to come in and sit for a while?”
‘US?’
Su Yang keenly caught the keyword.
Sure enough, from behind Qu Xiaomeng emerged a sunny and handsome face, “SURPRISE!” It was Qu Xuan.
Su Yang looked back, the key things of his own house were put into the virtual space so there was nothing to see.
So he got up and let the door open. “Come in.”
‘This sister and brother visiting so late at night. Something is definitely up.’
Entering Su Yang’s basement, Qu Xuan looked left and right, his eyes all curious. After a moment, he looked to Su Yang, “Chairman, don’t you feel damp living here?”
June and July were the seasons when it rained the most in Shanghai so Su Yang’s basement was very damp. It was as if you could squeeze water from his furniture.
However, Su Yang usually lived in the virtual space and couldn’t feel it so he casually said, “It’s okay. I’m used to water.”
Qu Xuan and Qu Xiaomeng were speechless.
Su Yang got out two benches for them and asked, “Why are you guys here?”
Before Qu Xiaomeng could speak, Qu Xuan smiled. “I’m trying to get my sister to stay at your house for a couple of days.”
‘What?!’ Su Yang was stunned.
He looked at Qu Xiaomeng, who was red-faced and was stepping on Qu Xuan’s foot as she anxiously whispered, “What nonsense are you saying?! Su Yang will freak out!”
