Chapter 16: Cashing Out
Translator: _Min_Editor: Lis_, Rundi
Jiang Chen almost cried as he took in a deep breath of the familiar smoggy scent.
The clock on the wall pointed at 11 o’clock, the time in the apocalypse was synced with the modern world. When he left, it was also 11.
He rubbed his temple and slowly took another deep breath. If he stayed there a second longer, he would go insane. He thought his mental fortitude was strong, but he apparently overestimated himself when faced with waves of machine gun bullets and body parts. He didn’t quiver at that moment, but he was as traumatized as Yao Yao, if not more.
The familiar noise outside of the window made him calm. Even if the noise bothered him before, it reminded him of the place called home.
Thank god for world peace!
Jiang Chen wanted to scream out these words, but he only stretched his arms and didn’t let it out. The constraining force of the civilized society made him hold back. He didn’t want to be considered as a lunatic.
He felt the heavy metal behind his back. It made his heart pump a little faster. Gold! He is rich now! He placed the backpack onto a scale and saw the needle pointed at seven kilograms. His heart pounded furiously. That’s mother fucking one million dollars! He didn’t know the exact exchange rate, but it was around 200 to 300 dollars per gram which would add up to 1.4 million dollars.
He truly hit the jackpot. He didn’t even make 3000 per month back then. He only imagined this in his dreams, but now the gold was right in front of him.
The contrast also made him ponder about his next step. Buy a car? He had plenty of money to do so. Buy an apartment? Pretty close. No no no, he wanted a mansion.
Yes! The vault at the bank!
But when he thought about it, his face immediately dimmed. He hesitated about the idea. He must go back to that place. The apocalyptic world where even the air made you feel suffocated by the cruelty. However, as he was contemplating, a graceful figure appeared in his head.
”I also believe you.”
”Don’t say anything, come back soon.”
”Sun Jiao.” Jiang Chen mumbled the name as he touched his lip subconsciously.
Her warm kiss remained on his lip. Another timid character flashed into Jiang Chen’s head.
”I, I will be very obedient. If you want to do anything, I will not resist.”
”I don’t mind having such a sympathetic master. Yao Yao is very grateful; I hope you don’t abandon me.”
”Yao Yao.” Jiang Chen repeated the other familiar name. The fresh scent of the kiss, although unexpected, kissed straight to his heart.
All the sudden, Jiang Chen burst out in laughter and let go of all his troubled thoughts.
”What am I even thinking? I don’t like little girls.” He jumped off the bed.
First, it’s time to make lunch. Then, cash out on the gold.
As to the car and house, he wants the fastest convertible and the fanciest mansion. At least it has to be better than his place in the apocalypse.
The entire vault will all belong to me.
As to this money. It’s time to enjoy and relax a little.
He walked into the familiar Kitchen and picked up the already dusty knife. He made up his mind. First, he will spend every penny he has. Or else it would be difficult to gather the courage to go back.
It would take some time to get used to it.
Along with the gold, he also took the full-sensory computer and pistol. Although he didn’t want to bring the pistol back as it was outlawed in his society because he didn’t want to make too much of a commotion, his goal was to be rich here.
He brought the computer so that he could watch movies. The store owner promised him that all 100 terabytes were quality movies. He was excited to experience it like never before.
He immediately opened it. The intricate computer projected a rectangular prism made out of arrays of light particles. The interface looked even more advanced than Sun Jiao’s computer.
The already excited Jiang Chen immediately opened the folder titled <movie>. He selected the first one from the list.
But the picture that projected completely shocked him.
”Yes, Yes, go harder!”
The arousing sexual scene projected straight into the middle of the room. It was almost as if the action was happening in his room. He immediately closed the computer as the neighbors probably all heard the noise.
He reopened the computer again, this time carefully scrolling through. He finally saw the names of the movie.
<16 times in the office straight!>
<Secret teaching of a female teacher>
What are these? These are all porn. Jiang Chen finally understood why the store owner made such a perverted face when he sold it to him.
If it was before, he would probably have masturbated to it. But now, things were different. After the countless number of romances with Sun Jiao, he was no longer interested in the one-person activity anymore.
He threw the computer on the ground and carried the hefty backpack. He was hesitant about carrying a pistol. Yao Yao gave him the pistol that saved his life. After a brief pause, he suddenly remembered the storage dimension he had and put everything in there.
