You Really Don't Understand Decimal Points, Do You?

Jiang Nan didn't think he had it that bad!

He had all his limbs. It wasn't like he couldn't support himself!

There were plenty of people in this world worse off than him!

Why spend every day blaming fate and wallowing in misery?

Wasn't that just making life hard for himself?

But the two girls had already started imagining things on their own.

Jiang Nan, drenched in sweat, was holding a tray with his scrawny body, grilling skewers, and supporting an entire family.

Just a moment ago, he'd even been splitting bricks with his head at a street stall...

The way you humble yourself just to make a living is really handsome!

Xia Yao looked at him with pity. "Eat more. Look how thin you are!"

Zhong Yingxue's eyes reddened with guilt. "How did I not find you sooner..."

Jiang Nan: "..."

Hey, hey, hey!

What were you two imagining on the sly?

It really wasn't that exhausting, okay?

He was only grilling cold noodles!

He'd sold hundreds of portions in a single night outside the university town!

It paid better than sitting in an office, okay?

If they hadn't stopped him from setting up his stall, Jiang Nan would probably still be selling grilled cold noodles...

Xia Yao handed him a bank card. "There's a hundred thousand yuan on this..."

Zhong Yingxue started searching her purse. "I've got fifty thousand too..."

Jiang Nan put on a serious expression. "I mean, sure, I'm handsome and radiant, elegant and dashing, and quite the lady-killer!"

"But I'm really not that kind of person!"

"You two... are you trying to keep me or something?"

[Resentment Points from Xia Yao +999!]

[Resentment Points from Zhong Yingxue +666!]

Xia Yao gritted her teeth. "Keep you? Keep dreaming! I'd never go for a bald guy like you!"

Zhong Yingxue chided him affectionately. "Xiao Nan! You're being naughty again."

Jiang Nan hunched his shoulders and laughed it off.

They all enjoyed the meal.

As they were wrapping up, Xia Yao held out her hand to Jiang Nan.

"What?"

"Give me your phone!"

Xia Yao looked at the Domestic Divine Machine Jiang Nan handed her. Its screen was shattered, yet he was still using it! She was genuinely shocked.

"What a piece of junk. I'll get you a new one later!"

Jiang Nan thought for two seconds, seemingly making a serious decision.

"Sister Xia Yao, do your long, fair legs need an accessory? I don't want to work hard anymore..."

[Resentment Points from Xia Yao +333!]

"An accessory, my ass! Come on, smile. Let's take a picture!"

The three of them gathered together, with Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao squeezing Jiang Nan between them!

Xia Yao wrapped an arm around Jiang Nan's neck, squishing his face out of shape.

"Come on, Xiao Xue! Get a little closer. Yeah, closer!"

"Click!"

In the photo, Xia Yao had a skewer in her mouth and an arm around Jiang Nan. His face was squashed, but he was grinning brightly. Zhong Yingxue was leaning halfway over Jiang Nan's shoulder, making the trendiest hand gesture.

The unbeatable backwards peace sign!

"Haha, it'd be perfect if your bald head weren't so shiny and reflective!"

Jiang Nan: "..."

Zhong Yingxue laughed. "Send it to me later. I'm making it my wallpaper!"

"Sure!"

At the counter, Jiang Nan rushed to pay.

"I told you, it's my treat! You two helped me sell my goods. I can't let you work for free, can I?"

Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue couldn't outargue him.

"Boss, how much?"

"Three hundred and forty-one. I'll knock off one yuan!"

"Great!"

Jiang Nan scanned the payment code and was just about to pay.

"Sorry, your balance is insufficient!"

What the heck? What was going on? How could he be short? He'd even bought 10,001 Farmer's Three Fists! Besides, he'd sold all that stuff just now.

He hurriedly opened his WeChat wallet.

One look, and he was stunned.

Balance: 69 yuan!

What the hell?

Where was his money?

Where was all his hard-earned cash?

Jiang Nan had kept track of every sale in his head. It should've been 12,469 yuan.

How had it shrunk by a hundred times?

This decimal point really didn't know its place!

Had it put the decimal in the wrong spot?

Be good! Go home and bring two more digits next time! Don't scare your big brother!

Your big brother admits he was wrong, okay?

Jiang Nan rubbed his eyes and checked again. He really had only a little over a hundred yuan left!

The boss eyed him suspiciously. What was going on?

He'd brought two beautiful women out to eat, but he had no money?

"You... you're not telling me you can't pay, are you?"

Jiang Nan: "That can't be right! Give me a minute!"

System! Where's my money?

Where's the hard-earned cash I made splitting bricks?

[Congratulations, Stall Owner! You have successfully paid the Stall Fee!]

[Within the area covered by the Stall Cloth, the Stall Owner has activated Invincible Mode!]

[The Stall Fee you paid has been automatically converted into Skill Points at a ratio of 100:1!]

[Congratulations, Host! The Skill Learning section has been unlocked!]

Congratulations? I'll congratulate your sister!

What the hell am I supposed to do with those Skill Points?

Can they help me pick up pretty girls or buy a hand-grabbed pancake?!

What kind of stupid thing is a Stall Fee?!

[All transactions completed on the Stall Cloth are subject to a Stall Fee, with a 99:01 revenue split!]

[The Stall Fee will automatically be converted into Skill Points for the Stall Owner to learn skills!]

Go to hell, you stupid system!

Jiang Nan had heard of a fifty-fifty split. He'd heard of a ninety-ten split.

But 99:01?

What the hell, your split even has a decimal point?

Are you serious? You even put two digits after it!

He'd split bricks and sold goods, risking his life. Did it think earning money was easy?

That was all his hard-earned cash!

He'd paid out of pocket for every sock and pair of underwear he sold.

And the system took 99!

Leaving him with just 01?

Jiang Nan exploded!

Was that little bit of money even money to him?

Pfft! It wasn't money at all!

It was his life! His life!

[The Stall Owner has insulted this system! Deducting money!]

Jiang Nan watched helplessly as his balance went from 69 to 69...

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

This stupid... invincible, handsome, dashing system was trying to kill him!

With the system holding him by the throat, Jiang Nan froze in place and looked pitifully toward Zhong Yingxue, who was standing by the door!

The boss rolled his eyes. "Come on, man. You can't be serious!"

"You insisted on paying, and now your balance is insufficient?"

The boss's gaze hit him like an arrow piercing the clouds!

That one really hit him in the heart!

Zhong Yingxue walked over with a smile, paid the bill, and patted Jiang Nan on the shoulder.

Today, Jiang Nan learned the meaning of awkwardness.

Don't ask!

If you did, he'd say he'd forgotten his payment password! His fingerprint was gone!

His WeChat wasn't linked to a bank card! His phone was out of battery!

Xia Yao asked, "What's wrong? Why are you taking so long?"

Zhong Yingxue smiled. "It's nothing! Jiang Nan's phone just..."

This big sister was just too kind! She even knew to save Jiang Nan's face.

Jiang Nan looked dazed.

He had no idea how he'd made it back to the entrance of the alley.

He watched the Mercedes-Benz G-Class speed away, and Zhong Yingxue even remembered to wave goodbye to him.

Why did they just leave?

Did they really have to be so straightforward?

What about that fifty thousand... hundred thousand yuan...

They weren't giving it to him?

Hey! He still had something to say!

Sister Yingxue! Sister Xia Yao! I won't put up a fight anymore!

Fine, keep me if you want!

I'm exactly that kind of person!

Come back... don't let my tears fall!

With just 69 yuan in his pocket, Jiang Nan felt as if the whole world had gone dark.

As he walked past the landlord's barbecue stall, the commotion and shouting made him frown.

He looked over, and a flash of murderous intent filled his eyes!
