Finally Making Money!

Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoqian soon got on the Carousel.

"Qian Qian, hold on tight."

Lin Chen reminded Lin Xiaoqian.

He sat beside Lin Xiaoqian. Even if she failed to hold on, he could reach out and catch her.

"Mm-hmm."

"Daddy, you need to be careful too."

Lin Xiaoqian said sweetly.

The music began, and the Carousel started turning.

"System, does this count as riding a horse?"

Lin Chen asked in his mind.

System: "Even if it counts, Host, it probably won't spin for Five Minutes."

Sure enough, it stopped after three minutes.

"Daddy, let's go ride the Bumper Cars."

"I rode them with Mommy before. Bumper Cars are so much fun."

Lin Xiaoqian said excitedly.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up. Bumper Cars were cars too.

He had a Driver's License, but he had gotten it during the summer break of his sophomore year in college. He had never touched a steering wheel since then, and his license was practically gathering rust.

"Boss, how many minutes is one round here?"

Lin Chen asked when they reached the Bumper Cars.

"Ten minutes."

Hearing the owner's reply, Lin Chen happily paid.

"Let's go!"

Five Minutes passed.

System: "Host, your Driving Skill has begun to improve. It will reach Master level in ten hours and Grandmaster level in twenty hours."

"Nice."

Lin Chen secretly reveled in it.

Driving Skill was highly practical.

He would definitely need to buy a car someday. It would be much more convenient to get around that way.

Otherwise, if it was windy or raining, just thinking about standing by the roadside with Lin Xiaoqian in his arms waiting for a ride was depressing. Not being able to get one would be even more depressing.

One Second after another passed.

Lin Chen's Driving Skill improved rapidly.

"Qian Qian, do you want to ride again?"

After finishing the first round, Lin Chen asked Lin Xiaoqian with a grin.

"Yes, yes."

"Daddy, I want to ride two more times."

Lin Xiaoqian said happily.

Lin Chen took Lin Xiaoqian on two more rides. After Half an Hour in total, his Driving Skill was already much better than a beginner's.

If he brought Lin Xiaoqian to the Amusement Park a few more times, he would become a seasoned driver. A few more times after that, and he could become a race car driver.

"Xiaoqian, want to play a Shooting Game?"

"If you hit the balloons, you might win one of those stuffed toys."

Lin Chen asked Lin Xiaoqian.

Lin Xiaoqian looked over and said, "Daddy, you shoot. I want that big doggy. The big doggy is looking at me, hehe."

"Sure."

"Daddy will definitely win it for you!"

Lin Chen said with a smile.

Bang! Bang!

Lin Chen shot very slowly. It took him Five Minutes to finish, and the system's voice sounded.

System: "Host, your Shooting Skill has begun to improve. In ten hours, it can reach Master level—"

A wealth of shooting experience flooded into Lin Chen's mind.

"Xiaoqian, Daddy didn't get it this time. Daddy will keep trying, okay? Daddy will definitely win that big doggy for you today."

Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoqian and said with a smile.

"Okay."

"Daddy will definitely succeed."

Lin Xiaoqian nodded repeatedly.

Lin Chen still did not win it in the second round, but after two rounds, his Shooting Skill had improved considerably. He was already getting the hang of it.

In the third round, Lin Chen finally won the big dog.

The owner was astonished.

Lin Chen's shooting had been terrible at first. How had it suddenly become so good later on?

"Boss, leave the stuffed toy here for now."

"We'll come back for it later."

Lin Chen said with a grin as he carried Lin Xiaoqian away.

As time passed, Lin Chen did not acquire any other skills. There were games like archery and Basketball Shooting in the Amusement Park, but Lin Xiaoqian did not like those.

He was mainly there to play with Lin Xiaoqian. Acquiring skills was only incidental.

"Xiaoqian, we need to go home."

"Look, there are more dark clouds in the sky. It'll probably rain."

Lin Chen said as he held Lin Xiaoqian.

Lin Xiaoqian was reluctant to leave. "Daddy, the Amusement Park is so much fun. Can we come here again in the future?"

"Of course."

Lin Chen agreed with a smile.

He still needed to come back to improve his Driving Skill and Shooting Skill.

After collecting the big dog they had won, Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoqian took a taxi home. Not long after they got in, thunder began to rumble and rain started falling.

The house is too expensive. That can wait for now.

But I need to buy a car as soon as possible.

Lin Chen muttered to himself.

To buy a car, he had to solve one problem: he needed money.

Lin Chen silently pondered which skill would be the easiest to make money with.

So far, he had acquired quite a few skills: Cooking Skill, Fairy Tale Creation, drawing, soccer, calligraphy, Driving Skill, Shooting Skill, and English.

"If my drawing and calligraphy reached a top-tier level, I should be able to make quite a bit of money, but my current levels aren't high enough."

"Cooking Skill... I have no interest in cooking for other people. Once my Ball Skills and Driving Skills become strong enough, I could make plenty of money playing soccer or racing cars, but I can't choose that kind of path."

"The convenient ways to make some money right now are Fairy Tale Creation and English."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

He could tell Lin Xiaoqian more Fairy Tales to improve Fairy Tale Creation quickly, then submit stories Online and soon start earning royalties.

His English had already reached the level of Simultaneous Interpretation. He could take on some highly difficult translation jobs Online.

Many people in China studied English, and competition in the translation industry was fierce, but very few people could reach his current level of English.

There was no question that he could make money.

"Daddy, I miss Mommy so much."

"It would be so nice if Mommy were here with us."

Lin Xiaoqian murmured as she nestled in Lin Chen's arms.

At the Amusement Park, she had seen many children with both their fathers and mothers by their sides. She envied them deeply.

Lin Chen comforted her, "When Mommy comes back, Xiaoqian, discuss it with her. How about the three of us going to the Amusement Park together?"

"Mm-hmm."

Lin Xiaoqian nodded expectantly.

"Daddy will tell you a story."

"Mm-hmm."

Lin Chen now had many Fairy Tales in his mind. Even without a book, he could tell them directly to Lin Xiaoqian.

After they got home, ate dinner, and took a bath, Lin Xiaoqian soon fell asleep.

Lin Chen began searching Online.

"I should be able to translate this in a few hours. The translation fee is five thousand yuan. Not bad. I'll give it a try."

Lin Chen muttered to himself.

He accepted a translation assignment Online. Very few people took on translation jobs of this difficulty.

Although the pay was not low, at five thousand yuan, if one's skill level was insufficient, they might not be able to finish the translation properly even after a month.

If the translation was a complete mess, the client would not pay.

Clatter, clatter!

Lin Chen went to the study and began typing on the keyboard.

There was already a computer in the study of this house.

My typing speed is much faster than before.

Lin Chen muttered to himself.

He guessed it was probably because his physique had improved.

He had estimated four hours, but it actually took just over three. Lin Chen finished the translation and checked it over once, finding no problems.

Lin Chen soon sent the completed translation to the other party's Email.

He had checked beforehand, and the other party's reputation was fairly good.

Even if they cheated him out of the translation fee, he had only spent a little over three hours on it. He could settle the score with them later.

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

"Huh, so fast?"

A supervisor at a Translation Company was deeply puzzled.

Their company accepted many translation assignments, but when they could not handle them all, they would post some of the jobs Online.

He remembered that this assignment had only been accepted last night.

"Could the translation be complete garbage?"

The supervisor quickly opened the Email to check.

"This—"

Shock soon appeared in his eyes.

The translation was extremely accurate. He felt that the other party's skill level was far higher than his own.

Gasp!

Looking at the time again, the supervisor discovered that from accepting the assignment to completing it, the other party had spent only three hours in total.

"Damn, we've found a real expert."

The supervisor was overjoyed.

If they could establish a relationship with such an expert, they could take on more difficult jobs and make more money from the middle.

"Sir, your translation is excellent. We'll transfer the payment immediately."

"Sir, would you be willing to work with us long-term?"

"This is my phone number and WeChat ID—"

The supervisor quickly sent Lin Chen a reply Email.
