Making Money Just By Breathing - Chapter 4.1: Turning Possibilities into Certainity

After enjoying some watermelon to beat the heat, Wang Yan’s parents returned.

Old Wang looked at his visibly energetic son and asked curiously, “What did you do today, Little Yan? Seems like you had a good time with your classmates?”

Wang Yan smiled and replied, “I didn’t go out. I was chatting with Brother Xizi, it was quite interesting.”

Upon arrival, Wang Yunxi’s mother immediately instructed him, “Yunxi, go fetch a bucket of ice water. We’re having cold noodles today!”

The family then busied themselves preparing dinner.

Chilled cold noodles topped with plenty of shredded cucumbers, tomato slices, pickled beans, and spicy cabbage, with a boiled egg and some sliced beef soaked in sauce. Cool, sour, and sweet, appetizing and refreshing, it was truly delightful.

Unfortunately, the lucky crits didn’t appear again.

After dinner, Xizi excused himself to play pool at the village entrance, Old Wang went to play mahjong for a penny per game, and Wang Xiufang, the mother, went to dance in the square. They all left the house.

With nothing else to do, Wang Yan went out to the internet café with his friends to play some games and satisfy his gaming cravings.

He got sprayed until after 10 o’clock and then went home to sleep.

The next morning, still groggy from sleep, he immediately turned on his computer.

After a glance, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Hmm, the system is still there, everything that he has experienced is not a dream!

Just as he was about to close the panel, his eyes suddenly widened, and he became fully awake.

In the system mall, there was something lying neatly — the Habit Cultivation Device!

Oh my god!

How come it hasn’t refreshed?!

He directly asked the system and received an explanation that made Wang Yan ecstatic —

[The refresh function will officially activate after passing a complete natural week to prevent the first item’s duration from being too short.]

Wow, that’s considerate!

In other words, the Habit Cultivation Device will stay in the mall for a whole week and won’t be refreshed until next Monday at midnight.

Wang Yan was overjoyed, dancing around, then his expression suddenly changed.

Wait a minute!

Money!

The second-level system still only gives out over 2800 Yuan per day, and it will still take 11 days to save up 30,000!

Damn damn damn!

Finally, another opportunity emerged, and this time, Wang Yan absolutely couldn’t afford to miss it!

Wang Yan was so anxious that he started doing elementary arithmetic problems right away.

With 7 days in a week and an income of about 20,000, the shortfall is only 10,000. There’s a chance!

The first thing he thought of was to take advantage of Jack Ma’s app.

That man is super rich, surely he wouldn’t mind being taken advantage of a bit, right?

‘You were already willing to extend a credit limit over 9,000 when my Huabei account was set up, and I’m going to make use of that right now!’

He wasted no time and immediately took out his phone to start fiddling with it.

Back when Huabei was just launched, Wang Yan jumped at it to be among the first to try it out, buying discounted toilet paper, stationery, and groceries for events.

As the child of a poor family, he had always been keen on grabbing those cheap goods, so his Sesame Credit score was quite high.

Following the process, he quickly completed the application and nervously awaited the result.

“I don’t need much, just give me a 10,000 credit line, and I’ll treat you to some snacks later!”

Ten minutes later, his phone chimed.

“Your Jiebei has been successfully opened, and the current available credit line is 3000 yuan.”

Damn!

What’s this?

It’s not even half of Huabei’s credit limit?!

Wang Yan was perturbed. He had no choice but to try his luck on a different app. Ten minutes later, the results from Jintiao finally appeared.

Wang Yan looked at the screen, rubbed his eyes, and looked again— that number remained the same, standing proudly.
