Chapter 103: A Series of Unfortunate Events - Part 3

Translator: AstralGhostEditor: Kurisu

Bei Feng gripped the piece of paper tightly in his hands as he proceeded to the police station and filed an official report.

After filling out everything, he was informed to go back and await further news.

'I've really suffered a huge setback due to my carelessness this time!'

Bei Feng heaved a heavy sigh and walked towards the nearest mobile trading shop. There was no point in resetting his old mobile phone since it was such an old model. He might as well get a new one at this point.

Luckily, he still had a few tens of thousand yuan on his WeChat account, not yet cashed. Otherwise, he would really be left with just that 5 yuan to his name! If that were to be the case, all his years of hardcore scrounging and saving would have yielded no fruits and he would be reverted back to his state of poverty.

”Bam!”

Right after buying the new mobile phone and just while he was testing it out, the phone actually exploded in his hands!

The corner of Bei Feng's eyes twitched lightly as he looked at his blackened hands and back again at the salesgirl.

”This brother, are you ok? Let me switch a new one for you to test!”

The salesgirl who was scared silly hurriedly ran off in a fluster to grab a new phone.

She returned extremely quickly, with a new phone and a bucket of water and a towel.

She wiped the soot from Bei Feng's hands anxiously but as she looked at Bei Feng's palm which only had a few light scratches, her panic quickly turned to astonishment.

Luckily, Bei Feng's body was numerous times stronger than the average person's, and even the thin membrane under his skin was as tough as the hide of an old cow. Otherwise, a normal person's hand would already have been blasted until it was full of mangled flesh and blood!

”This phone won't explode right?”

Bei Feng asked with some uncertainty as he looked at the new phone in the girl's hand.

The salesgirl looked at Bei Feng's hand which was still bleeding slightly and saw that he had no intention of blaming her and finally heaved a sigh in relief. ”Don't worry, I guarantee that this one won't explode! Here, I'll turn it on for you to see...”

The mobile phone's display lit up and per her demonstration, it ran very smoothly and the functions were explained very clearly to him. As expected of a good brand, there were no problems with it at all. ”Alright, I guarantee that this one won't explode. Here, you can give it a try.”

”Bam!”

Bei Feng received the phone and after testing it for a bit, pulled out his wallet to pay for it. But just as he was about to complete the transaction, the phone exploded again!

Bei Feng had a constipated expression on his face as he looked speechlessly at his blackened hand. ”Didn't you say that this one won't blow up? What the hell is going on?”

The poor salesgirl almost burst into tears on the spot. ”I- I don't know either! Please wait here, I'll go and call the boss over!”

After that, she hurriedly ran off like a panicky squirrel.

”Boss, Boss! It's a catastrophe!”

She ran over to the back of the store where a fatty sat, smoking leisurely.

”Calm down, look at how flustered you are! How unbecoming...”

Jin Bifu leaned back against the chair and took a sip of a specially brewed tea directly from a Yixing teapot as he replied lightly. [ED/N: Teapot made from Yixing clay, apparently fancy stuff]

Looking at this scene, the salesgirl could not help but raise her eyebrows in admiration. As expected of a store owner--such a level of nonchalance and calm is not something that normal employees like her could achieve!

In that moment, even the originally panicky salesgirl was being infected by his calm attitude as she slowly explained the situation. ”Boss, there's a customer out front who came to buy a mobile phone, but as luck would have it, two of the phones were problematic and actually exploded in his hands, hurting the customer!”

”What?! Quick, bring me to him!”

It was a mystery how the fat boss was able to move so agilely, but he got to his feet in one swift motion and arrived before the salesgirl as though his chair had caught on fire, causing her to blink her eyes repeatedly in shock.

Seeing the girl stare back at him dumbly, he shook his head and rushed to the front of the store in a hurry, the fat around his body jiggling in a wave-like motion.

At this point, the salesgirl finally reacted and hurried behind him.

”Boss, this is the customer.”

The salesgirl pointed at Bei Feng and said.
