Chapter 9: This Decimal Point Is Very Inconsiderate
Jiangnan didn’t think he was all that miserable!
He had hands and feet—it wasn’t like he couldn’t support himself!
There were plenty of people in this world worse off than him!
Why waste time complaining about fate and nursing grudges?
That was just making things hard on himself!
But the two girls had already started filling in the blanks in their own heads.
Jiangnan, drenched in sweat, used his thin frame to carry trays, grill skewers, and support an entire household.
Just moments ago, he’d been breaking bricks with his head at the street stall…
The way you humble yourself for survival is really handsome!
Xia Yao’s face was full of pity: “Eat more, will you? Look how skinny you are?”
Zhong Yingxue’s eyes were red, and she blamed herself: “Why didn’t I find you sooner…”
“Lucky for us you sold Xiaoyao those color-fading shorts, or we never would have met!”
Xia Yao: ???
Hey, hey, hey!
Xuexue, are you getting the wrong idea?
I’m the victim here!
Heartbroken!
Jiangnan: …
What exactly are you two secretly imagining?
It’s really not that tiring, okay?
I was just grilling some cold noodles!
Selling hundreds of servings a night at the university town entrance!
I made more money than working an office job, you know?
If they hadn’t banned the stall later, Jiangnan would probably still be selling cold noodles now…
Xia Yao saw Zhong Yingxue’s red eyes and couldn’t bear it either.
So she handed over a bank card: “Here’s 100,000 yuan…”
Zhong Yingxue was also rummaging through her bag: “I’ve got 50,000 here too…”
Jiangnan said seriously, “Look, even though I’m sunny, handsome, elegant, and charming—”
“I’m really not that kind of guy!”
“You two… are you trying to keep me or something?”
[From Xia Yao: Resentment +999!]
[From Zhong Yingxue: Resentment +666!]
Xia Yao gritted her teeth in anger: “Keep your big bald head! I wouldn’t want you even if you were the last guy on earth! You crooked, black-hearted merchant!”
Zhong Yingxue scolded playfully, “Xiao Nan! You’re being naughty again.”
Jiangnan shrank his neck and laughed it off.
The meal was very enjoyable.
When it was over, Xia Yao reached out to Jiangnan.
“What?”
“Give me your phone!”
Xia Yao looked at the domestic miracle phone he handed over—the screen was shattered into pieces, and he was still using it! She was honestly shocked!
“What kind of junk is this? I’ll get you a new one later.”
Jiangnan paused for two seconds, as if making a serious decision.
“Hey… do you need any accessories hanging from your leg? I don’t want to work hard anymore…”
[From Xia Yao: Resentment +333!]
“Hang your head! Come on, smile! Let’s take a photo!”
The three of them huddled together, with Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao sandwiching Jiangnan in the middle!
Xia Yao wrapped an arm around Jiangnan’s neck, squishing his face.
“Come on! Xuexue! Get closer! Yes, a little more!”
“Click!”
In the photo, Xia Yao had a skewer in her mouth, her arm around Jiangnan. Jiangnan’s deformed face was grinning brightly. Zhong Yingxue half-leaned on Jiangnan’s shoulder, making the most popular gesture.
The ultimate reverse peace sign!
“Haha, if it weren’t for your shiny bald head reflecting the light, it would be perfect!”
Jiangnan: “…”
Zhong Yingxue laughed: “Send it to me later—I want to use it as my wallpaper!”
“You got it!”
At the counter, Jiangnan rushed to pay.
“I said I’m treating! You two helped me sell those goods—I can’t let you work for free, right?”
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue really couldn’t fight him for it.
“Boss, how much?”
“341 yuan. Let’s just forget the one yuan.”
“Sure!”
Jiangnan was about to scan to pay.
“Sorry, your balance is insufficient.”
Wait, what? What’s going on? How could it be insufficient? Even the Nongfu Three-Punch was selling for 10,001? And all that merchandise just went out!
He quickly opened WeChat Wallet.
What he saw made him dumbfounded.
Balance: 124.69 yuan!
What the hell?
Where did my money go?
Where’s my hard-earned cash?
He had every sale memorized in his head—it should be 12,469 yuan.
How is it a hundred times less?
You decimal point—you’re being very inconsiderate!
Did you move to the wrong place?
Be good! Go home! Move back two places! Don’t scare your big bro!
I admit I was wrong, okay!
Jiangnan rubbed his eyes and looked again. It really was only a little over a hundred!
The boss looked suspicious. What’s going on?
Bringing two beautiful girls to dinner, but no money?
“You… you don’t have the money to pay, do you?”
Jiangnan: “No way! Wait for me a second!”
System! Where the hell did my money go?
All that hard-earned cash from breaking bricks?
[Congratulations, vendor! Successfully paid the stall fee!]
[Within the range covered by the Vendor Cloth, the vendor activates Invincible Mode!]
[The paid stall fee is automatically converted to skill points at a ratio of 100:1!]
[Congratulations, host! The skill learning module has been unlocked!]
Congratulations? I congratulate your sister!
What use are those skill points?
Can they charm cute girls or buy me a pancake?
What the heck is this stall fee anyway?
[For any transaction completed on the Vendor Cloth, a stall fee must be paid, split as 9.99:0.01!]
[The stall fee is automatically converted into skill points for the vendor to learn skills!]
I just—%?…;#*’☆*%!?&!
At this moment, Jiangnan was frantically sending Morse code!
Jiangnan had heard of a fifty-fifty split, and of a ninety-ten split.
