Chapter 546: Chapter 341: Made a Profit or a Loss?
Fushan City, South Gao Country.
The largest college town in the city, Fu Liaoyi groggily woke from a deep sleep in his shabby rented room, somewhat bewilderedly opening his eyes.
His head was in extreme pain, as if it had been violently hammered, causing turmoil inside his mind. He couldn’t help but clutch his head, letting out a roar of "ah."
He lay on the bed panting for a while before gradually regaining his composure.
He fiercely chugged a mouthful of water and took deep breaths.
He had just had a dream that felt almost like reality, not a nightmare, but... extremely bizarre!
It seemed as though he had made a magical deal with a strange person in the dream, trading a month of his life for a bottle of magical potion.
"Alas, a dream is just a dream after all."
Fu Liaoyi smiled wryly in resignation.
Ever since breaking up with his girlfriend, life seemed to have lost its meaning, and that agony had completely torn him apart.
He had lain flat in this rented room for a week, his whole being suffused with the dank stench of decay.
"I must be crazy!"
But the next second, he saw it – the bottle of water placed beside his bed!
That bottle, unlabeled, its packaging exquisite like perfume, reflected a crystal-clear light in the sunlight.
He remembered distinctly that the strange person had handed him this bottle!
That voice still echoed in his ears, bringing with it an inexplicable sense of trust.
"Just let your girlfriend, no... your ex-girlfriend touch this bottle of water, and she will fall in love with you again."
"It doesn’t matter how, whether she drinks it or you splash it on her face, as long as it touches her skin."
His heart started pounding wildly.
"Could that dream... have been real?!!"
"Just let her drink this bottle of water..."
"Everything could start over again!"
He bolted upright from the bed, his eyes wide and round.
His mood suddenly lifted, like a roller coaster ride, first surging upward, then plummeting down.
Tumultuous highs and lows!
...
After a while, he took a shower, shaved off his beard with a razor and searched the closet for a clean shirt.
Throughout the process, Fu Liaoyi’s mood grew more and more delightful, even humming a tune.
Some mysterious force made him believe that this bottle of mystery liquid was real and effective.
Absolutely no fake! Absolutely!
In fact, there wasn’t much of good clothing in the closet. Having a job as a food delivery driver, he’d sweat all day long, so wearing nice clothes seemed wasteful.
But that job earned money fast!
Working about ten hours a day, if you’re familiar with the routes and take on multiple orders at the same time, you could earn even more than an office white-collar.
For someone like him with little education and no skills, how could he earn more doing anything else compared to sitting in an office?
Fu Liaoyi’s mind wandered as he searched the closet for a long time, only to find a grey T-shirt that was clean enough.
This shirt was a birthday gift from his girlfriend.
He remembered she once said he looked very handsome and cool in it!
This one it would have to be.
"Heh heh," a happy smile spread across his face as he started to fantasize about the names for their future children.
After dressing up, he picked up the delicate little bottle, his heart fluttering with a mix of trepidation and nervousness, and walked out the door.
For the sake of his girlfriend’s safety, he also carefully tasted a small sip from the bottle, which seemed tasteless and did not make his head spin, almost like ordinary purified water.
"It doesn’t seem to be any kind of date drug."
A flicker of doubt crossed Fu Liaoyi’s mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
It was a shop called "Desire" after all, and the owner must keep his promises, more reliable than the words of the United States President! Since the owner had guaranteed that the liquid was effective, what was there to doubt?
For his own destiny, he was all in!
...
In Fushan University Town, home to a total of 15 universities, the number of students as well as academic and administrative staff might exceed 200,000!
Delivering food here was quite cost-effective.
Since most schools don’t allow delivery drivers to enter, it saves a lot of trouble to just drop the food off at the shelves near the school gate.
Each time Fu Liaoyi came here to deliver food, he would wear his helmet and wrap himself up tightly.
After all, it would be somewhat embarrassing if his girlfriend’s classmates saw him, just a food delivery driver...
Speaking of which, this was quite weird; the spending power of the students seemed to be higher than that of white-collar workers, eating takeouts every day.
Where did they get their money?
There really were a lot of rich people in the big cities!
Then again, wasn’t his own girlfriend quite the consumer as well?
Fu Liaoyi’s mood was agitated as he let his thoughts run wild.
Due to his urgent desire to fulfill his wishes, his heartbeat began to speed up!
Having been with his girlfriend for so many years, kissed and hugged, but never taking the last step as she always said it’s best "left for after marriage."
But there was another reason - he felt a bit of self-doubt, was he to be a delivery driver for life?
Faced with the future, he was actually a bit lost. At 24, not too old, but no longer at that naive and juvenile age. So many years after graduating high school, yet no distinct career or stable job.
Perhaps people like him were just the most ordinary of All Living Beings.
"No matter what, the future will surely get better," Fu Liaoyi encouraged himself, "Even without much money, one can still live happily."
