Suffering a Setback

Then I saw a fat man get out of a sports car across the street.

That agitated fat man.

After Qin Xuan said something, he suddenly went from being angry to showing a fawning smile.

Then the fat man kept bowing and scraping while saying something, and even turned around and took out a box of money from the sports car and stuffed it into Qin Xuan's hand.

The scene and the sight left the four people in the SUV completely dumbfounded; they stared at the scene in disbelief.

"What happened? Something feels off about the art style."

"Okay... it seems the fat man is about to hand a box of money to Qin Xuan."

"This... wasn't it supposed to be Qin Xuan who was going to suffer a setback? What's with that fat guy bowing and scraping like that? And what's with him handing Qin Xuan a whole box of money?"

The SUV fell into complete silence. The four people stared blankly at everything in front of them, as if petrified, their minds blank.

"Wait, hurry and stop him! We can't fail the mission Sister Yaoyao Yao gave us. Remember, don't touch Qin Xuan!" the girl with the ponytail said urgently.

"Okay, watch me."

The bald man driving immediately opened the car door and rushed out of the SUV, followed by the strong and muscular Zhao Dahu.

The two men approached the fat man, and without saying a word, picked him up and walked away, also taking the box of money with them.

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

The fat man was seeking help for his illness when he was suddenly dragged away at this crucial moment, which enraged him so much that he flew into a rage, kicking wildly with his fat legs.

"I'm from the Special Operations Group. This is my identification. We need your assistance with an important investigation. Please come with me."

The bald man showed his ID to the fat man, then continued to lift him up, giving him no chance to refuse.

"What do you mean 'assist in the investigation'? I have important business to attend to. If you know what's good for you, let me go. If you piss me off, I'll cripple you all."

The fat man roared repeatedly, kicking wildly with his big feet, hitting the bald man's buttocks several times.

The changes here attracted the attention of many passersby, who all looked over.

Bang!

Not wanting to attract more attention, Zhao Dahu simply raised his right hand and knocked the fat man unconscious with a chop to the neck, then picked him up and left without hesitation.

However, the two felt that this matter was very troublesome to handle, after all, the fat man's identity was extraordinary, and if the matter were to be investigated through legal means, they would also be punished.

Even after they had walked away, they couldn't help but start complaining while hiding in a corner.

"Damn it, if I'd known I'd messed with this fat guy, I should have stopped Qin Xuan beforehand."

"Yeah, I thought Qin Xuan was going to be kicked out by the fat guy, but who would have thought that Qin Xuan could subdue him with just a few words? He even gave Qin Xuan a whole box of money. Qin Xuan is too amazing."

"It seems we underestimated Qin Xuan. I never realized Qin Xuan was this capable before. Has Qin Xuan become this powerful?"

"Was Qin Xuan's slovenly lifestyle all an act? Is he actually a genius?"

The two men huddled in a corner, discussing amongst themselves, unable to understand why. However, they were relieved that Qin Xuan had at least stopped making money.

On the other side.

Naruto frowned as he watched the fat man being carried away. Through his Insight, he also recognized the man in black as an underling of the beautiful landlady, which left Naruto speechless.

"How desperate is this woman? She's actually trying to stop me from paying back the money, trying to get me to spend time with her. Is it really necessary?"

Shaking his head, Naruto turned and walked away. If he couldn't make money from the fat man, he had other ways to continue earning it.

"Huh? A music instrument store? I've got an idea for making money!"

Naruto smiled slightly when he saw the musical instrument shop not far away.

By purchasing Ocarina and playing them as part of Soul Cultivation Method, one can heal their soul injuries while also earning some money through performing arts.

With his Soul Cultivation Method and the incredibly beautiful music he created, Naruto believed that making money through this method would be effortless, and he could even attract a lot of attention and gain fans.

This was a brilliant idea that killed three birds with one stone, so Naruto got up and headed towards the music instrument shop.

Rear.

Baldy and Zhao Dahu handed the unconscious fat man over to the officials, then returned to the SUV.

"Phew, finally done. Fatty's been handed over to the authorities, and they've agreed to help us persuade him," the bald man said dejectedly.

"This Qin Xuan is quite capable; we'll have to be careful next time," said the girl with the ponytail.

"Yes, yes, yes."

The people inside the SUV nodded in agreement, realizing they had underestimated Qin Xuan.

"Huh? What's Qin Xuan doing again? Why is he at the music store? Is he planning to buy a musical instrument?"

"I don't know, I don't think he plays any musical instruments. I've never heard of him having any talent in that area."

"He should be looking for a job, but there's no time to pay off the rent in a day."

"That's right, but we need to be careful to prevent him from taking an advance on his salary."

The people inside the SUV were talking amongst themselves, while also being wary of Qin Xuan taking an advance on his salary.

However, when they saw Qin Xuan come out with an Ocarina, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, so you went to buy musical instruments! I'm relieved now."

"That's strange. Why is Qin Xuan buying musical instruments instead of earning money? Has he given up paying his rent?"

"Probably. If it were me, I would definitely give up. After all, she's the stunningly beautiful and gorgeous Yaoyao Yao. Who wouldn't want her?"

"Indeed, if it were me, I would definitely agree. It seems Qin Xuan has changed his mind too."

The group talked, looking at Qin Xuan with envy, but soon they became puzzled.

They saw Qin Xuan buy a hat, turn it upside down on the ground, and then pick up Ocarina, looking like he was about to play it.

"Is Qin Xuan planning to make money by performing?" the girl with the ponytail asked in surprise.

"Really? There are so many superpowered people these days, and their singing is really good. Who would want to watch ordinary people perform for money?"

"Exactly! Besides, he's a man, he doesn't have the advantages of a woman, and most importantly, he's average-looking, so he can't attract anyone at all. Trying to make money by performing is a completely wrong decision."

Several people shook their heads inwardly, believing that Qin Xuan's choice was fundamentally wrong and a haphazard search.

But at this very moment...

Just when they thought Qin Xuan's performance wouldn't attract anyone...

Qin Xuan, sitting opposite him, also put the Ocarina to his lips.
