Chapter 10: Why are your pectoral muscles so developed? _1

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Weird, why is the beautiful landlady messaging now? It’s not even rent day yet.”

Tang Feng found it a bit strange as he checked the messages.

“Tang, I’ve had someone fix the light in your hallway.”

“Could you bring me a bottle of vinegar when you come back tonight? /grits teeth.”

Tang Feng was somewhat at a loss for words after reading these two simple messages.

I’m already worth tens of millions, and you’re asking me to bring you a bottle of vinegar?

Snorting with disdain, Tang Feng responded directly:

“No problem, sis. What brand of aged vinegar do you want, eight-year or thirteen-year?”

…

While Tang Feng was discussing what brand of vinegar to buy with his landlady, a series of electronic beeps suddenly sounded in his mind.

“Host’s assets have reached ten million, meeting system upgrade requirements. Would you like to upgrade the system now?”

“Note: The system upgrade will take three hours.”

At the sound of the system prompt in his mind, Tang Feng was overwhelmed with excitement.

He was quite curious about the functions of the Lv2 system now.

“Big shot, have you received the money yet?”

Just as Tang Feng was silently deciding whether to upgrade the system now, Song Lele also came out from a corner.

“Hahaha, I got the money, Ale, you really are my lucky star. So many good things have happened since you arrived!”

Tang Feng, overcome with excitement, gave Song Lele a big hug.

He now not only owned assets worth tens of millions but also had the system by his side, all of which started from meeting Song Lele.

Calling her his lucky star was truly not an overstatement.

Song Lele was caught off guard by Tang Feng’s sudden embrace.

Her beautiful eyes widened, and her hands didn’t know where to go.

“What are you doing, big shot? Let me go first!”

Song Lele quickly came to her senses and hurriedly pushed Tang Feng away, her face flushed.

“Hahaha, sorry, just got too excited.”

“But, Ale, your pecs are really solid. I could feel it even through your clothes! Teach me how to work out sometime.”

Tang Feng grinned and gave a thumbs up, praising Song Lele for her impressive “pectorals.”

Song Lele, already embarrassed by Tang Feng’s hug, nearly bit back in anger upon hearing this.

Listen to this, is this something you say to someone!

What do you mean my pecs are well-toned? I’m obviously authentically…

Oh, wrong, I’m a man now, so it’s fine.

“We’ll talk about that next time. I just got a call; my family has come to pick me up, I have to go.”

Song Lele quickly changed the subject.

If the topic of pecs continued any further, her blood pressure would be through the roof.

“What, Ale, you’re leaving just like that? We agreed to play games together at the internet café after meeting up, didn’t we?”

Tang Feng said reluctantly.

“Can’t help it, something came up at home that needs to be dealt with, I’m truly sorry. Next time I’ll treat you to make up for it, okay?”

Song Lele said helplessly.

“Alright then, I’ll walk you out.”

Tang Feng waved goodbye to Qian Yue, the owner of Wan Shi Pavilion, and planned to leave with Song Lele.

However, just as the two were about to walk out the door of Wan Shi Pavilion, a figure hurried after them with a quick trot.

“Buddy, wait up, wait up!”

When they turned around, they saw it was the rich young heir they had met when they first came to Wan Shi Pavilion.

“What’s up, buddy?”

Tang Feng asked, puzzled, as he had little to do with this person.

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Brother, you have no idea, when you hit the jackpot on three stones in a row earlier, I saw it all! It was divine!”

Mr. Rui looked at Tang Feng with eyes full of envy, as if seeing a deity.

“Oh, I just got lucky, that’s all.”

Not wanting to offend a friendly face, Tang Feng still maintained a polite demeanor, even though he was unsure of the other’s intent.

“Hehe, buddy, can I shake your hand? No special reason, I just want to share some of your good fortune.”

Mr. Rui asked a bit sheepishly.

Tang Feng slowly threw out a “?”

“Are you serious, bro?”

Mr. Rui quickly nodded.

Lele beside him couldn’t help but lower her head and chuckle softly.

Tang Feng, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, didn’t refuse and reached out to shake hands with him.

Little did he know, as soon as they shook hands, the guy immediately excitedly thanked him and left without lingering.

Leaving Tang Feng with his hand still outstretched, completely baffled.

What the heck, that’s it, just a handshake and we’re done?

What Tang Feng didn’t know was that after he and Song Lele left, the rich kid went straight to choose a piece of raw stone he had been eyeing and started to gamble!

“Listen up, guys, I just shook hands with that jackpot winner, so I’m sure I’ll be lucky this time!”

Many in the crowd knew this guy, and someone directly mocked:

“Mr. Rui, I think you might as well give up. That stone is worth over six hundred thousand. If you lose, won’t you be out of spending money for the month?”

“Yeah, Mr. Rui, give it a rest. We need to accept our fate. You’ve already lost over a million today. If you keep gambling, won’t you be scolded when you get home again?”

“What are you talking about, Mr. Rui gets scolded at home, and he’ll have more than a hundred thousand again in no time. Does he care about that money?”

“That’s just small change, Mr. Rui isn’t here to make money, he’s just here for fun.”

…

The so-called “Mr. Rui,” flushed with embarrassment, argued:

“What losing money? In stone betting, can it be called a loss!”

Then he started muttering some indistinct phrases like “This wave is bound to rise” and “Just paying tuition fees.”

The crowd burst into laughter, and Wan Shi Pavilion was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

But just then, the work on the Stone-Dissolving Platform was complete.

A streak of color appeared under the clear water.

“Damn, it went up, it went up!”

Mr. Rui watched the stone being dissolved, his eyes wide with excitement, and he began dancing around.

“I told you, shaking hands with the jackpot king would surely boost my luck! You guys didn’t believe me!”

“Given the quality, it’s worth at least over a million!”

The ones mocking Mr. Rui just moments ago were suddenly silenced, exchanging looks of disbelief.

Damn, it actually worked?

Isn’t this a little too mystical!
