YM778.TV Chapter 14: Money is Hard to Earn
[Ding! The little fortune bag contains boundless treasures! Tip: The fortune bag is filled with a variety of magical items, and upon opening, you can randomly receive one. It could be a legendary item, or it could just be a single coin. The rarer the item, the smaller the chance of obtaining it.]
Chen Cang understood, this was a luck-based gift pack.
It’s very likely you’d get a coin, but you could also get a legendary item.
Of course, Chen Cang felt that handsome people usually aren’t too unlucky.
With that thought,
Chen Cang clicked to open it.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have acquired a special skill: Beauty’s Gaze!]
Beauty’s Gaze?!
At this moment, Chen Cang discovered that a new section had been added to his attribute panel.
[Special Skill: Beauty’s Gaze.
Beauty’s Gaze: Passive skill (Not upgradeable).]
[Beauty’s Gaze: Passive skill, mainly applicable to aesthetic surgery. Wearing this skill will help you simulate various cosmetic looks, better aiding you in the perfect planning of cosmetic surgery sites, designing the most perfect appearance. Tip: These are the eyes of an angel, used to discover the beauty in life. Wearing this skill, you become a designer of beauty.]
Chen Cang was stunned!
Holy shit!
This is an amazing skill!
Is my luck really that great?
This skill is like a cheat for a plastic surgeon.
Beauty’s Gaze could help him plan the cosmetic surgery site for others, designing the most beautiful appearance and style.
Isn’t this an amazing skill?
It’s like he was given a talent for plastic surgery.
Wanting to become a plastic surgeon might be simple, but wanting to become an exceptional one, you must have a pursuit of beauty.
You must possess an extraordinary aesthetic sense.
It’s about combining your facial structure’s features to design the most suitable appearance for you.
The same principle applies to hairstylists.
Chen Cang suddenly felt that he had inadvertently acquired a powerful and magical passive skill.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh… Calm down, calm down!
But…
What if I can’t help it?
“Hahaha… hahaha…”
Chen Cang couldn’t stop laughing.
“Wild Wolf is an attitude, Wild Wolf, Wild Wolf…”
“Thud thud thud!” A knocking sound suddenly arose, causing Chen Cang’s voice to tremble involuntarily, even producing a slight dolphin pitch…
“Who is it?” Chen Cang walked to the door and asked with confusion.
“It’s me, the landlord. I’m knocking on the door! No, I mean, open the door!” The voice was indeed the landlord auntie,
Chen Cang nodded and opened the door in response.
A soul weighing over two hundred pounds was panting at the doorway, and Chen Cang said with a smile, “Auntie, what brings you up here today?”
The auntie sighed, “Let’s talk inside.”
Chen Cang looked at the auntie, who weighed over two hundred pounds, hesitated for three seconds, and decided not to close the door… just in case she coveted his beauty, he could still cry out for help.
After she came in, the auntie found a chair and sat down directly: “Chen Cang, I need to talk to you.”
Chen Cang stood up straight, involuntarily taking a step back, “Go ahead, Auntie.”
Chen Cang didn’t have a dislike for fat people, but he felt that… this was a weight of life he couldn’t bear.
The auntie waved her hand, “Come closer, I have something to show you.”
While talking, he pulled on the zipper.
…
He then took out a cell phone from his jacket pocket, opened the photo gallery, and said, “Take a look.”
Chen Cang looked skeptical as he took the cell phone, his eyes widening, “Relocation?”
The aunt nodded, “Yep, there’s going to be a relocation, and you won’t be able to stay here for much longer. You better start looking for a place soon.”
Chen Cang sighed, “Okay.”
The aunt saw Chen Cang’s disappointment, “Don’t miss me too much. I think you’re a decent young man, just a bit too young, not suitable.”
Chen Cang was terrified and quickly nodded, “Right, right, Auntie, you’re absolutely correct!”
The aunt gave Chen Cang a meaningful look: I knew you had a thing for me, kid.
At that glance, Chen Cang was filled with panic.
The aunt continued, “Ah, once the place is torn down, I’ll get ten apartments, plus two storefronts, and 8 million in relocation compensation. Still feels like something is missing, it’s all so empty.”
“Since your uncle passed away, it’s just been me and my daughter, toughing it out, poor souls we are.”
“I can’t handle everything by myself. I am an only child, and so was your uncle. With four elderly folks to look after, all in need of relocating, getting houses and storefronts, and several million in settlement fees, it’s just too much for one person.”
Chen Cang took a deep breath, quickly pretending he didn’t hear!
Auntie, if you keep this up, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist marrying you!
The landlord aunt wasn’t lying. In this urban village, she originally owned four houses. Her father was the village chief, and their family didn’t have much besides houses. After the area became part of the urban village, they constructed a five-story building on the original site for rental business. Then she got married, and her husband also brought several houses…
All in all, they had about seven or eight houses…
This demolition turned them into millionaires!
But now, just from these eight houses, they have a monthly income of several hundreds of thousands, earning millions in rent each year.
Chen Cang’s rent was 900 a month, with six rooms on one floor, totaling five floors.
After all, there’s no place cheaper in the surroundings.
Suddenly, the aunt’s eyes rolled, “Chen, have you got a partner yet?”
Chen Cang shook his head, then quickly remembered something and nodded, “Auntie, I’m about to have one!”
The landlord aunt was taken aback for a moment, seeming incredulous!
“Someone would want you, as poor as you are?”
“Stop kidding, you kid, I haven’t seen you with a girl in two years!”
Chen Cang felt a tightness in his chest, as if his heart was experiencing a crushing pain.
There’s an old saying, “Don’t hit a man in the face, don’t expose someone’s shortcomings!”
Do not mock a youth for their poverty!
At that, the landlord aunt let out a chuckle, “How about I set you up with someone?”
Chen Cang felt so wronged he almost cried: Auntie, I can’t handle it…
“My daughter is coming back to the country. How about I introduce you to her? That little rascal has been staying in South Korea all this time, but this time I’m definitely bringing her back. I think you’re quite good, aside from being a bit poor, you don’t have other flaws. Honest and straightforward, and a doctor too, all pretty good. I quite like you. What do you say?”
Chen Cang shook his head, “Auntie, I appreciate your kindness and am honored by your high regard, but I… I might not stay in Anyang city, I might return to my hometown after a few years. I can’t afford to keep your daughter.”
The aunt confidently retorted, “I’ll support you both!”
Chen Cang: …
The landlord aunt: “That’s not a problem at all. If you win over my daughter, aren’t all these apartments, storefronts, and the settlement money yours to keep? Think about it!”
Chen Cang pondered, and it really made sense!
So tempting!
But Chen Cang immediately snapped to his senses, aware that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
He vividly remembered his first time renting the apartment, having met a woman who was one meter seventy tall and weighed a hundred and seventy…
Thinking about the powerful genes running in the family, Chen Cang shuddered.
This money isn’t easy to earn!
