Chapter 137: Close the door!

When he left Sun Jiao's room, it was already noon.

A smile rose unbidden to his face when he recalled the intimacy from last night.

She seemed to sense that he'd be gone for a while because she'd been extra passionate.

By the time the two fell asleep in each other's embrace, it was already late into the night.

He stretched his stiff body and walked to the bathroom.

With a light press on the touchscreen, hot water filled the sink. Taking a deep breath, he leaned against the sink and submerged his head into the water.

After holding his breath—

”Huuuu!”

He resurfaced from the water and briskly shook his head feeling refreshed. Jiang Chen looked at his reflection in the mirror and let the water droplets roll down his face.

”It's been three months.”

He touched his chin, lost in his memories of three months ago, back in July. It was the middle of summer, and as soon as he came here, he encountered a girl on the verge of starvation.

Jiang Chen laughed.

He wasn't sure why he wanted to laugh. Maybe because the experiences in these past three months had been too exciting? Or because of his own transformation? Or perhaps because it'd been too fulfilling. He vigorously shook the water from his head and picked up the electric razor.

”There are many things in this world that are quite convenient.” He plastered a thin layer of plastic wrap around his mouth, and with a click of a button, he could shave his beard away in a second.

This was a treasure to the world.

In the washroom itself, there was a digitalized shower, a smart toilet, multi-functional bathtub with a sauna function, and even the toilet paper was more advanced than the modern world's.

”Life is a magical journey.” Jiang Chen looked outside the window.

The view faced the newly expanded wall. On top of the metal scaffolding were workers and engineers order the construction....

He remembered that in the beginning, his only thought was to obtain gold and become a carefree, wealthy man. And as soon as he got his wish, the first thing he did was spend it lavishly, blowing it all away and experiencing the life he had envied before.

But he fulfilled those wishes a long time ago.

”Now is it power?” Jiang Chen stared at his right hand. The water droplets on the back of his hand reflected his matured face.

Once he had the five hundred million USD in his hands, a sprout called ambition grew in his heart. From that point onward, troubles began to hound him.

Sometimes, he imagined what would have happened if he came to this world for the first time and didn't walk into this mansion. What if he didn't encounter the naughty and cute girl, didn't meet so many unforgettable people?

Sneak some gold and sell it discreetly in the modern world, becoming a rich man in the shadows. If he met malicious forces, he would switch cities, or even citizenship, instead of using his power to push them away. If he met mutated bacteria he was unable to resist, he would leave the area. This place was an ATM for him anyway. There was no reason to risk his life to eliminate the bacteria source.

But it would be a different kind of life.

In the modern world, he would enjoy a lavish lifestyle, and in the apocalypse, he would discreetly explore. No attachment, no concerns, perhaps that was the safer choice? Perhaps it was the best way to survive in this world filled with danger?

”But it would lack the excitement of a vibrant life?” Jiang Chen shook his head laughing and walked out the door.

Without a myriad of beautiful encounters, what was the purpose of living?

Since on productivity alone, man could not beat machine.

...

At the door, he met Yao Yao on her way to the washroom.

She walked half-asleep and rubbed her drowsy eyes with her small hand. The pouted mouth looked like a cherry freshly picked off with the morning dew. Because she was anemic, she couldn't handle mornings very well.

Although she seemed to be overly-conscious about her small flaw, Jiang Chen didn't care. A dizzy loli was too cute to be true, especially when she was asleep and subconsciously sought to hug anything warm.

Ahem, don't ask how he knew.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to say hello, Yao Yao's drowsy face turned beet red, and her body temperature spiked.
