Chapter 877: How to Make Money
In addition to stealing, kidnapping, and other illegal means that may make him GG in advance, the first way Chen An thought of getting money quickly was the lottery, which was an impression rooted in Chen Xu's memory.
But in the end, he shook his head and rejected this idea, after all, he is just an ordinary person now, at most his perception is slightly stronger, but he can't reach the level of predicting the result and seeing through the answer, so whether it is a combination of numbers or scratch cards, he has nothing to do. Maybe he didn't make any quick money, and he put the only 100 yuan he had.
Or go to a summer job, but Chen Xu is still underage, and he can take little work, and it will take at least a month to wait until his salary is paid. The things in the counter may not be bought by normal people, but in this world, there are many abnormal people, and if he doesn't take this ethereal spirit crystal in his hand for a day, he may have a long night's dreams.
As for other ways to make quick money, Chen An used Chen Xu's pitiful common sense of life to think about it repeatedly, and felt that there was only one thing left to move bricks, as long as he worked hard enough, he could almost make up the money overnight.
But this one doesn't seem to work, without him, it's just that Chen Xu's health is too bad. Just take a walk around the mall, it's already a little out of breath, and then go to move bricks, it's just terrible.
Just walked all the way, he didn't have much to do, until he saw Zhao Chen, his eyes lit up.
"I said big brother, why are you only here now, and you said that you can two before the graduation party, but now you can only. ”
Zhao Chen opened his mouth to complain, Chen An looked up at him, and said without expectation: "Do you have any money on you, borrow a few hundred yuan." ”
Zhao Chen had never seen this posture of asking for money, he was a little stunned for a while, and it took a while to react, and said with a wry smile: "Big brother, where do you see me looking like I have money, and I still want to borrow a few hundred? ”
Chen An also pinched the hundred yuan in his pocket, and said a little suspiciously: "Isn't it only a hundred to gather for a party?"
Zhao Chen glanced at him and said, "You don't need money to go online." ”
Chen An was silent for a while, the other party's family background was similar to his, and he couldn't find any wool, so he was also anxious to borrow money from Zhao Chen. As for the relationship between other people and Chen Xu, it is not so iron, let alone borrowing a few hundred, even a few yuan is estimated to be nothing.
This made him a little self-deprecating, Chen Xu's popularity as a container is also bad enough.
Lowering his head, Chen An crossed Zhao Chen and continued to walk forward.
This made Zhao Chen a little stunned, and said strangely: "Hey, where are you going?"
Chen An didn't look back, waved his hand back and said, "Let's go around." ”
Zhao Chen was a little stunned and said, "You don't go online?"
"Not in the mood. ”
"What about the graduation party that night? Yang Xue also came, oh, by the way, how was your confession yesterday, you haven't told me yet. Bastard, how did you go so fast......"
Chen An only took two steps to get into the crowd and disappeared into the street, leaving Zhao Chen alone in the messy wind.
In normal times, he might not mind playing games with each other and experiencing life, but now he really doesn't have that mood.
After wandering around the street again, it was determined that with his inattentive state and no division of grains, it was difficult to get such a sum of money in a short period of time, so he could only return home with Shi Shiran.
Today is the weekend, Chen Zhang is cooking in the kitchen, Lin Yun is cleaning in the living room, and when he saw him push the door in, he said in surprise: "Didn't you go online with Zhao Chen? Why did you come back so early?"
"It's boring. ”
Chen An opened his mouth, wanting to ask his mother for money, but in the end he spit out such a sentence.
The parents in this life are close and strange to him, and he instinctively wants to treat this hard-won family relationship with a careful and caring attitude, which is embarrassing to ask for money.
Of course, more of this belongs to Chen Xu's shyness, if it is Chen An's temperament, utilitarianism comes first, even if you value these things again, you will wait until the matter is done.
"By the way, do you have free time in the afternoon? ”
Chen An, who was walking towards his room with his head bored, turned around in surprise and said, "What are you doing?"
Lin Yun blinked his eyes and smiled: "Buy you a mobile phone." Save yourself from looking for you like yesterday. Besides, you're going to college after the summer vacation, and you should have a mobile phone, so you have to buy it sooner or later, so it's better to take advantage of the discount now. ”
Chen An's figure was stunned, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Mom, you rarely have a weekend break, why don't you give me the money and I'll buy it myself?"
Lin Wan shook his head and said: "No, I'm afraid that you will be honest and deceived, I can still negotiate with people when I go, and besides, there is nothing to rest, and there is not every day on weekends." ”
Chen An stubbornly said: "The main thing is that I want to exercise, I can't let you protect me all the time, I have to face some things alone." ”
Lin Wan was dissatisfied: "What are you in a hurry, when you go to college, there will always be a time for you to fly." ”
At this time, Chen Zhang came out of the kitchen with a plate of green pepper edamame and put it on the table, saying, "If he wants to exercise, you just let him go." ”
Lin Wan turned her head to look at her husband, and said with full combat effectiveness: "You don't understand, those people in the Electronic City are asking for a price, if you don't negotiate with him, a hundred yuan of things can be multiplied by ten times for you." ”
Chen Zhang still looked tepid, and said: "Just pay him tuition, you can't always follow him." ”
"You know you're used to him. ”
Lin Wan turned her husband white, put down the mop in his hand, walked to the sofa and picked up his satchel, took out his wallet, counted two thousand yuan from it, thought about it and drew two more, and then folded it and handed it to Chen An.
"Remember, you must bargain with others, don't let them say as much as they want, just as much. ”
"Uh-huh," Chen An was overjoyed, nodded hurriedly, took it and put it in his pocket, turned around and walked out the door.
Seeing his virtue, Lin Wan raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Stop, why are you going?"
"Buy a mobile phone. ”
"The dog has eaten the day, and he can't see that he is about to eat, so he will sleep after eating and go back in the afternoon. ”
Chen Anxin was anxious, but his mother's order could not be disobeyed, so he could only sit down honestly and wait for his father to serve dinner.
During the meal, Lin Wan carefully taught the eighteen bargaining styles he had summed up, and Chen An naturally did not do anything. 、
In the end, Chen Zhang, who had been silent, said: "You can keep the rest of the money, now that you are also an adult, you should also have some money on you, as long as you don't spend it indiscriminately." ”
Chen An pouted his chopsticks and said, "Thank you, Dad." ”
This thank you is quite sincere, I was in a hurry to hang myself for these money, but there was this kind of peak and loop, and in the end, it was my parents who were the most reliable.
It was the first time to enjoy this kind of reliable Chen An, who was inevitably agitated, and what seemed ordinary to ordinary people was so rare in his opinion, which aroused his determination to stay and enjoy his family and make up for his regrets, even if he lost his life in a powerful chess game.
Of course, this is all an afterthought, and for now, we still have to start with the Void Spirit Amethyst first, so that no matter how you say it, you have a power of self-preservation. This world is not as simple as it seems, and the red hair that can shoot lasers reminds Chen An of the dangers around him all the time.
Chen An is indeed not afraid of death, but dying in the hands of a powerful person is heroic, and dying in the hands of a deflated third person is very aggrieved, there is still a big difference. Therefore, the two completely different contradictory emotions of not being afraid of death and sparing one's life are perfectly integrated in him.
After enduring a meal, while his mother Lin Yun went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, Chen An smeared oil on the soles of his feet and jumped out of the house directly, perhaps because of the understanding of the same sex, his father Chen Zhang pretended not to see his actions, so that he successfully escaped from home.
After boarding the bus to Xingye Mall, Chen An breathed a sigh of relief, and began to plan the use of the 2,200 yuan, no, it should be 2,300, plus the 100 yuan pocket money he already had.
In Nanxu City, an ordinary person's monthly salary is only 1,000 yuan, although Chen Zhang and Lin Yun are both in government agencies, which is better, but it is less than 2,000 a month, so what is in Chen An's hands is a huge amount of money, which is equivalent to more than two months' salary of an ordinary person.
Mobile phones must be bought, but you don't have to buy such a good one, three or four hundred can make calls, seven or eight hundred have many functions, more than a thousand is already very good, and more than two thousand are luxury brands in the eyes of ordinary people.
Chen Zhang let him decide the cost of the money himself, which means to exercise his ability to plan his life.
It's just that Chen An didn't mean to show performance in this aspect, buying Void Spirit Amethyst was his main purpose, and the rest of the money would be enough to see what price to buy a mobile phone.
As soon as the car stopped at Nanxincheng Street Station, Chen An was the first to jump down and go straight to the underground mall, and at a glance he saw the purple spar still lying quietly in the counter.
He didn't hesitate to walk into the Baiguo supermarket next to him, bought a snack of fifty yuan casually, settled the bill, and went to the exchange counter with the receipt.
First pretended to understand the situation, looked through the wastebasket that had been scratched for a while, remembered the weight and texture of various different tickets, and then exchanged the small ticket and got a chance to draw a lottery.
Because it is a marketing scam, the probability of winning the 2000 yuan coupon is not small, almost more than 20%, plus the "grand prize" is a lot of words and ink, which is also an obvious feature.
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, it is just a few words, what difference can there be? But in Chen An's perception, this kind of lottery ticket is a lot more "heavy".
Of course, there will be mistakes in this, after all, it is not a formal award, and the paper material used to make scratch cards is not very good, there is a big difference in quality, and if it is purely identified by weight, it is inevitable that there will be a big error.
Therefore, Chen An concentrated his energy, made every effort to amplify his perception, selected a lottery ticket that he thought was the closest to it, carefully scraped off the silver coating on it, and the words "Grand Prize" jumped into his eyes.
Sure enough, there is a 20% chance that it will all depend on ignorance.
Hiding the joy on his face, Chen An took the lottery ticket, prepared the money, and turned around and walked to the glass counter on the other side.
It's just that when he was about to meet the eyes of the counter clerk who slaughtered the fat sheep, he was stunned to see a tall and fashionably dressed woman picking up the ethereal spirit amethyst and putting it on his neck.
