A Daily Money-Making Life Hack-Have You Learned It Wrong?

Xu Lian remained silent when she saw someone return to their seat with a coin in their hand.

"So, did you learn one money-making tip every day?"

Bai Zhi flicked the Gray Coin in his hand and said with a serious expression.

"Remember this: in this day and age, if you want to make money, you have to be ruthless."

With a crisp click, the coin landed on the table, spun a few times, and sparkled in the brilliant sunlight.

"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Seeing the little Girl crying and looking for her mother, and the Princess and Prince eyeing her menacingly as they approached, Xu Lian forced a smile.

She had tried setting up a stall in the Library Amusement Park before, competing with the Staff for business, but she quickly learned just how disastrous the consequences would be.

The guy in front of me wasn't just sneakily stealing business from the Staff like I was doing; he was openly robbing people right in front of them...

"What, aren't you thirsty?"

Bai Zhi picked up the Gray Coin on the table and, noticing the Princess and Prince walking towards him from his God's Perspective, also stood up from his chair.

"We have money now, we can..."

Bye-bye!! I'll come find you again later!!!

Xu Lian interrupted the other person directly and turned to run without hesitation. However, she had only run a few steps when she turned back around with a mournful face.

"Huh? What's wrong with you now?"

Seeing the Young Girl return, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Forget everything else, just run!!"

She had no time to explain anything, and without hesitation, Xu Lian grabbed the other person's hand and pulled them away as they fled.

--Behind her, the amusement park Staff who had been chasing her to demand a fine had somehow caught up with her.

As the saying goes, "wolves in front, tigers behind," if we don't run now, who knows what might happen...

Five minutes later, on a lawn where people were somewhat crowded and a large number of pigeons had gathered, Xu Lian finally stopped, panting, with one hand supporting her knee.

"I don't think there's any need to run away."

Shaking his head slightly, Bai Zhi used the Gray Coin he had obtained through legitimate means to buy two bottles of Mineral Water from a nearby Stall, and casually tossed one to Xu Lian, whose throat was practically parched.

"Your stamina is too poor. You just finished the Novice Quest not long ago?"

These currencies, used in the amusement park, have their own set of prices. For example, the Gray Coin he received earlier was worth ten, and a bottle of Mineral Water was worth two. After buying two bottles of Mineral Water, the Stall selling water from a refrigerator gave him change of one Gray Coin worth five and one Gray Coin worth one.

"Yeah, yeah, Current Level Lv3, a Newbie Player, looking for Big Shot to guide me... cough cough cough!!"

As soon as she sat down on the lawn, Xu Lian unscrewed the cap of Mineral Water bottle while talking, and eagerly tilted her head back to gulp it down... and almost choked herself to death.

"..."

Bai Zhi remained silent for a long time, watching the Young Girl sitting on the grass, clutching her neck and coughing violently.

This guy... seems genuinely a bit simple-minded.

It took Xu Lian quite a while to recover her senses.

"By the way, what should we do next?"

Without a second thought, she wiped her mouth with the sleeve of her school uniform and turned to ask Bai Zhi, who was standing next to her.

"You saw what happened just now. Making money that way will only breed hostility from the Staff. I think we'd better leave this amusement park as soon as possible."

"Don't overthink it. Until we figure out what's going on in this amusement park, we're basically not going to be able to leave, unless you want to turn into a skeleton."

After glancing at the other person, Bai Zhi simply sat down on the grass as well.

"What we need to do now is wait."

"Wait? Wait for what?"

Xu Lian glanced around briefly, looking rather puzzled.

They were currently on a wide lawn, which was quite lively because it was a gathering place for a large number of pigeons. Many Tourist were enthusiastically feeding the pigeons or taking photos.

Couples like them, resting on the lawn, are not uncommon here.

"Of course, we'll wait for others to come to us."

He glanced at the flock of pigeons not far away, gave a casual reply, and then took out the two Gray Coin that the Stall Manager had given him in Bai Zhi.

These coins are basically the same in appearance, except that the inscriptions on them are slightly different. One coin is worth five yuan and the other is worth one yuan. If you convert them to the price of Mineral Water, they are roughly equivalent to five yuan and One Yuan Coin respectively.

"Speaking of which, was the reason you were chased by those Staff because of your street vending?"

After examining the two coins for a moment without finding anything, Bai Zhi turned to Xu Lian and asked her a question.

"Yes, they said I didn't have Business License issued by the amusement park, and setting up a stall here is prohibited. They not only confiscated everything I had set up, but also said they would fine me..."

Xu Lian looked utterly dejected.

"Is that so...? Interesting."

Bai Zhi flicked the two coins high into the air and caught them again. Looking at the lively crowd around him, he suddenly laughed.

"What's interesting?"

Turning to look at the person beside her, Xu Lian had a strange expression on her face.

"Also, you said you were waiting for someone. Who are we waiting for here? Your companions?"

"My companion shouldn't be in this amusement park; I'm waiting for someone else."

Bai Zhi raised his head, squinted slightly at the Tian Kong, and answered casually.

"This Large-scale Campaign Quest started at midnight last night, and we entered at 7:00 this morning, so there should have been many Player in the amusement park before then... I'm waiting for them."

"But how do these Players know we're Player?"

Xu Lian still seemed somewhat confused.

"If it were Player, they would probably head to the amusement park entrance as soon as possible, right? If it were me, I would set up some things at the amusement park entrance beforehand to find any new Player joining the park."

Yawning, Bai Zhi leaned back and lay down on the grass.

"Let's wait a little longer. There are a lot of pigeons here; the other side should be coming soon..."
