Chapter 45: The New Moneymaking Method

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lu Xiaoyu turned around and saw a box of stinky tofu in Lu Shu’s hand, “Stinky tofu? How did you get a box of stinky tofu?”

Lu Shu passed her a pair of bamboo chopsticks, “Try it.”

Finishing what he said, he stuffed a piece into his mouth and waited for a change in his energy level.

A minute passed… Lu Shu almost spat the stinky tofu out onto the ground. There wasn’t even a single change; this was just an ordinary plate of stinky tofu!

Lu Shu identified that it was just an ordinary stinky tofu. This Mischief System really made him feel like crying.

Lu Xiaoyu, who was seated beside Lu Shu, was immensely enjoying the previously scorned stinky tofu. With her mouth full, she said, “So Lu Shu, your awakened ability is… to make food appear?”

Based on Lu Xiaoyu’s view, it was fruits previously and it was now stinky tofu, all of them having relations with food. Other metahumans were able to conjure lightning, fire, and tornadoes with a wave of their hands; how cool was that. But for Lu Shu… a wave of his hand had produced a box of stinky tofu… Well, it actually didn’t seem that bad?

At least for a glutton like Lu Xiaoyu, it was decent. Though pungent, it was actually quite fragrant when eaten. Lu Xiaoyu felt that she had never had such good stinky tofu in her life.

Darkly colored, the stinky tofu had sprinkles of shallots, parsley and a little bit of chili oil on it. Upon consuming it, a special flavor would burst apart within one’s mouth and they would hardly be able to stop eating it.

Lu Shu, with a face darker than ever, did not feel like speaking. He then heard Lu Xiaoyu say, “Lu Shu, a portion of Chinese crepe please.”

Haha! Lu Shu was on the verge of exploding and she was ordering food from him?

“Go ahead and eat, just enjoy ur stinky tofu”.

Controlling his anger, Lu Shu decided to re-roll the lottery.

And again… Another box of stinky tofu…

Hiss! Lu Shu inhaled another deep cold breath and he could hardly believe that in the 3 times that he had spun the lottery… a box of stinky tofu was rewarded for all 3 times, storing itself in the system’s inventory.

Feeling a pinch in his heart, Lu Shu thought whether that could be the only thing the lottery had to offer?

This can’t be right… this can’t be right… if there were only stinky tofu, how could it still be considered a lottery?

Maybe when the refresher fruit had hit its limit, the stinky tofu had replaced the dreaded “thank you for participating”. And it was up to probability to see what he could grasp from the system.

If that was the case, other than the stinky tofu, there was currently a surreal prize to be won which had a similar probability of being drawn as the refresher fruit!

And if it were to be exactly as he had imagined, it was totally acceptable for stinky tofu to replace the words “thank you for participating”!

Lu Shu poured all of his distress points in one go into the lottery in order to verify his thoughts, anticipating what he could draw…

Subsequently, Lu Shu’s inventory bag had over 20 boxes of stinky tofu…

His inventory still had a total of 29 boxes of stinky tofu excluding the portion Lu Xiaoyu was eating. That being said, Lu Shu did not manage to draw anything other than stinky tofu!

Haha. It’s game over now right.

Lu Shu, full of despair, climbed up to the roof and sat there all alone for 20 minutes.

Pondering over and over for those 20 minutes, he sat there thinking, “How could his Metahuman journey be so tough…”

There were currently 2 possible scenarios for him. The first one was that The Mischief System could only produce stinky tofu from now on and would perhaps only be changed when he hits the limit for it as well.

The second one was, as Lu Shu had expected, having stinky tofu replace “thank you for participating”. The main issue was the probability of the rewards; what could be so valuable that even 30 draws were not enough for it to make its appearance?

If only the item could be that valuable… and Lu Shu felt that it was just his wishful thinking.

Or could it be a new ability?

But another issue he had was what could he do with all these stinky tofu?

There were already 29 portions and counting. He can’t possibly make Lu Xiaoyu eat stinky tofus every day right? It was so much better to obtain cash!

Oh wait, cash?

Lu Shu realized one fact about himself – that he was poor as heck. Although his business could barely provide for him and Lu Xiaoyu, there was still cost required for the eggs but he was very satisfied to earn just about 1500 dollars per month.

Stinky tofu, on the other hand, was different. By selling one portion for 5 dollars, he could earn the entire 5 dollars due to the lack of a cost price for the tofus!

For a teenager as poor as Lu Shu, such an idea to riches started the ball rolling in his mind!

If he could earn 3000 distress points a day to spin the lottery, he would be able to obtain 30 portions of stinky tofu. After Lu Xiaoyu had consumed some of it, he would still have 28 or 29 more portions. This way, he would be able to make 100+ dollars a day and in a month, he could earn about 3000-4000 dollars. This was more than double of what he was currently making!

Deemed to be petty cash to some, it was a seemingly large sum to both Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu.

How much more could be achieved with those 3000-4000 extra dollars?

Gradually, he could start to afford Lu Xiaoyu’s school fees.

More meat and milk for Lu Xiaoyu’s nourishment.

Increased tidbits for Lu Xiaoyu.

Movies with Lu Xiaoyu.

And even a change in spring clothing for Lu Xiaoyu was viable.

Little girls definitely had innate desires to doll up but Lu Xiaoyu was matured enough to hide those feelings. As such, she had never once complained about wearing worn clothes.

However, it was clear to Lu Xiaoyu that buying clothes was by no means a small purchase. Thus, she only limited her request to simple 5 dollar hawthorn candies or 2 dollar sweet potatoes.

Another viable option was to save up and to bring Lu Xiaoyu on a trip. Lu Xiaoyu had witnessed the beauty of the Chakayan Lake when it was being advertised once on television and became hooked on it.

She was unable to forget her desires to see it with her own eyes even though Lu Shu told her that many were disappointed by the Chakayan Lake when they saw it first-hand.

“Well, that would have to wait till we have the money,” as Lu Shu made a silent promise in his heart.

Lu Shu thought that his enjoyment would have to come second to hers. He had a duty to fulfill since he was the one who made this little girl leave the orphanage.

It would be too late if she were to start schooling at the age of 16. Her classmates would be discussing the places they had been to while Lu Xiaoyu had not been to anywhere before.

It was sorrowful just thinking about such a scene…

Lu Shu suddenly felt that the stinky tofu prizes were a blessing as converting the refresher fruit to cash was rather inconvenient. If he were to be tracked down, everything would be over for him. Lu Shu understood the concept of the idiom which explained that the downfall of a wealthy man was due to the greed of others.

With Lu Shu selling stinky tofus, it was currently his best bet at earning money. Thinking of all the stuff he had to accomplish, Lu Shu felt a wave of motivation to rake in the distress points…

Well, for a metahuman like him, this special method to earn money was probably way too humble a thought!
