Jiang Nan didn't feel like he was suffering at all!

He had hands and feet, so he could support himself!

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

Why would he complain to heaven and earth all day, acting so miserable?

Wasn't he just making things difficult for himself!

But these two girls had started to imagine things on their own.

Jiang Nan, covered in sweat, used his scrawny body to carry the food tray and grill skewers, supporting his entire family.

Just moments ago, he was still smashing bricks with his head at the roadside stall...

The way you humble yourself for a living is truly handsome!

Xia Yao looked at him with pity, "Eat more, look how thin you are?"

Zhong Yingxue's eyes reddened, and she blamed herself, "How could I not have found you sooner..."

Jiang Nan: "..."

Hey, hey, hey!

What were you two secretly imagining?

It's really not that tiring!

I'm just grilling cold noodles!

I sell hundreds of them a night outside the university town!

It's more profitable than working in an office!

If they hadn't banned street stalls later, Jiang Nan would probably still be selling grilled cold noodles...

Xia Yao handed him a bank card, "Here's a hundred thousand yuan..."

Zhong Yingxue was also rummaging in her bag, "I have fifty thousand here too..."

Jiang Nan said seriously, "Look, I know I'm sunny, handsome, dashing, and suave!"

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

"Are you two... trying to keep me as a kept man?"

[Resentment Points from Xia Yao +999!]

[Resentment Points from Zhong Yingxue +666!]

Xia Yao gritted her teeth in anger, "Keep you, my foot! I wouldn't look twice at a bald guy like you!"

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

Jiang Nan flinched and laughed it off.

They ate happily.

As they were finishing, Xia Yao reached out to Jiang Nan.

"What?"

"My phone!"

Xia Yao looked at the Domestic Divine Machine Jiang Nan handed over; the screen was shattered, yet he was still using it! She was truly surprised!

"What kind of junk is this? I'll get you a new one later!"

Jiang Nan pondered for two seconds, seemingly making a serious decision!

"Sister Xia Yao, do you still have room for a pendant on your Big White Legs? I don't want to work hard anymore..."

[Resentment Points from Xia Yao +333!]

"Pendant, my ass! Smile, let's take a picture!"

The three of them huddled together, with Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao sandwiching Jiang Nan in the middle!

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

"Come on, Xiao Xue! Closer, yes, closer!"

"Click!"

In the photo, Xia Yao had a skewer in her mouth and was hugging Jiang Nan, whose contorted face was smiling brightly. Zhong Yingxue was leaning on Jiang Nan's shoulder, making the most popular gesture.

The invincible reverse peace sign!

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

Jiang Nan: "..."

Zhong Yingxue laughed, "Send it to me later, I want to use it as my wallpaper!"

"You got it!"

At the counter, Jiang Nan rushed to pay the bill.

"I already said I'm treating! You two helped me sell stuff, you can't work for free, right?"

Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue really couldn't outbid him.

"Boss, how much?"

"Three hundred and forty-one. If you buy one more, I'll throw it in!"

"Got it!"

Jiang Nan scanned it, about to pay.

"Sorry, your balance is insufficient!"

What the heck? How could it be insufficient? Farmer's Three Fists still cost 10001, right? Besides, all that merchandise was sold just now.

He quickly opened his WeChat wallet.

He was stunned when he looked.

Balance: 69 yuan!

Holy crap?

Where's my money?

Where's my hard-earned money?

Jiang Nan remembered every single transaction in his head. It should have been 12469.

Why is it a hundred times less?

This decimal point is really out of line!

Did you tap the wrong place, you jerk?

Be good! Go home, take the two ladies with you! Don't scare me!

It's my fault, okay!

Jiang Nan rubbed his eyes and looked again. There was really only a little over a hundred left!

The boss looked at him suspiciously. What's going on?

Taking two beautiful ladies out to eat, and he has no money?

"You... you don't have money to pay, do you?"

Jiang Nan: "Impossible! Wait for me a moment!"

System! Where's my money!

Where's my hard-earned money from breaking bricks?

[Congratulations to the stall owner! Stall Fee successfully paid!]

[Within the range covered by the stall cloth, the stall owner has activated invincibility mode!]

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

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the skill learning section!]

Congratulations? What the hell good are those Skill Points to me?

Can they help me pick up Young Ladies or buy hand-grabbed pancakes!

What the hell is this Stall Fee!

[All transactions completed on the stall cloth require a Stall Fee, with a commission of 99:01!]

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

Screw you, you stupid system!

Jiang Nan had heard of 50/50 splits, and 90/10 splits.

What the hell is this 99:01?

Is this commission with a decimal point?

Are you serious? You even have two decimal places!

I broke bricks and sold goods myself, risking my life, is it easy for me to earn money!

That was all hard-earned money!

My socks and underwear were all bought with my own hard-earned cash.

And the System takes a 99% cut!

Leaving me with just 01%?

Jiang Nan exploded instantly!

Was this little bit of money even money to Jiang Nan?

Pfft! It wasn't money at all!

That's f**king fate! Fate!

[Detected stall owner insulting this System! Deducting money!]

As a result, Jiang Nan watched his balance go from 69 to 69...

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

This big idiot... the invincible, handsome, and dashing System is trying to kill me!

With his lifeline grabbed, Jiang Nan froze in place, looking pitifully at Zhong Yingxue standing at the door!

The boss rolled his eyes: "Young man, you're not going to do this, are you!"

"Rushing to pay, and then running out of balance?"

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

It pierced my heart!

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

Today, Jiang Nan learned the taste of embarrassment.

Don't ask!

If you ask, it's because he forgot his payment password! His fingerprints are gone!

WeChat isn't linked to a card! His mobile phone is dead!

Xia Yao: "What's wrong? Why so slow?"

Zhong Yingxue smiled: "It's nothing! Jiang Nan's mobile phone is broken..."

This sister is too kind! She even knows to save Jiang Nan some face.

Jiang Nan looked dazed.

He didn't even know how he got back to the alley entrance.

Watching the Mercedes-Benz G-Class speed away, Zhong Yingxue still remembered to wave goodbye to him.

Why did they just leave like that?

Do they have to be so straightforward?

That fifty thousand... or a hundred thousand...

They're not sending it anymore?

Hey! I still have something to say!

Sister Yingxue! Sister Xia Yao! I'm not being difficult anymore!

If you want to keep me, then keep me!

I'm that kind of person!

Come back quickly... don't make me cry!

With only 69 left in his pocket, Jiang Nan felt the whole world turn gray.

As he walked, he passed by his landlord's barbecue stall. The noise and shouting that came from there made Jiang Nan frown.

At a glance, a fierce light flashed in his eyes!
