Chapter 12 How to Earn the First Pot of Gold

"Beep beep beep..."

At this moment, QQ suddenly flickered.

Wang Yue opened it and saw a friend request.

"I am Qiao Zixuan."

Seeing the remark for adding a friend, Wang Yue was stunned, thinking, why would the class beauty add him?

Wang Yue clicked to accept.

"Hi, Wang Yue!"

"/Cute."

Seeing the message from the class beauty, Wang Yue thought for a moment and replied, "What wind blew your esteemed self here?"

"Am I old???"

"Not old, but truly a peerlessly beautiful and captivating maiden."

Seeing Wang Yue's reply.

For some reason, Qiao Zixuan's heart began to pound.

Is he complimenting my looks?

It must be.

But with such playful words, does he have feelings for me?

If he were to confess to me.

Should I accept?

What would our children be called in the future?

Which cram school should they go to?

Qiao Zixuan thought of many things in an instant, even the names of her future children.

Finally, blushing, she replied, "You're a smooth talker."

Wang Yue pondered the meaning behind Qiao Zixuan's words.

After thinking for a long time, he gave up. Girls' minds are truly hard to guess.

After all, in his previous life, he was also a straight man.

He wondered if the system could summon any mind-reading skills.

That way, he could directly read women's thoughts in the future.

Just as Wang Yue didn't know what to reply, Qiao Zixuan's message came again.

"How did you practice your spoken English? Why is it so fluent, while I stumble over every sentence?"

"It's actually very simple, just four words."

"Which four words?"

"Only talent."

"If you put it that way, it doesn't seem wrong."

Seeing Qiao Zixuan's enthusiastic response, Wang Yue felt a little embarrassed.

"A new milk tea shop called Bifengtang has opened near the school entrance. The taste is quite good."

At this moment, Qiao Zixuan sent another message.

Seeing this message, Wang Yue's eyes lit up.

That's right, a milk tea shop, how did he not think of that?

In later generations, milk tea shops were everywhere. Shops like Bifengtang, which were popular now, would have little market value in the future.

Perhaps he could try opening a milk tea shop, as he had worked part-time in one before.

But the biggest problem was the lack of initial capital.

"The system rewarded 1000 last time. Although it's not much, it shows that there are opportunities to exploit."

Wang Yue pondered for a while and felt that the fastest way to make money at the moment was to rely on the system.

Seeing that Wang Yue hadn't responded for a long time.

Qiao Zixuan thought, could this idiot not understand her hint?

Or was he pretending not to understand?

The class monitor, who was expressing her good feelings towards a boy for the first time, also began to overthink.

Meanwhile, Wang Yue tossed his phone aside and had already started thinking about how to make money.

"Detected strong desire to make money from the host. Activating Wanted Mission. Do you accept?"

"Wanted Mission? What's that?"

Wang Yue asked.

"It's to help the authorities catch fugitives. The bounty for a heinous criminal can even reach a million."

The system replied.

"Catching fugitives?"

Wang Yue's eyes widened. "I want to make money, but I don't want to die, System." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět

Those fugitives were more or less murderers, heinous criminals. Forget catching them, Wang Yue felt that he would run far away if he even saw them, lest he get into trouble.

"This system will automatically filter fugitives that the host can handle. There will also be extra rewards from this system upon capture."

Hearing the system's assurance, Wang Yue hesitated.

He was in desperate need of initial capital and couldn't think of any other good ideas in a short period.

But catching fugitives was a bit too thrilling.

One wrong move could cost him his life.

Wang Yue also had some doubts about the system's guarantee.

After all, before the system was activated, it hadn't done anything helpful.

"Hey, host, we are one now. I can hear you bad-mouthing me in your heart."

"You can rest assured about this system's integrity."

Wang Yue thought for a moment and said, "Then, are there any penalties for not completing the mission?"

"Of course, there are no penalties. If the mission is not completed, you just won't get the reward."

"Then I accept."

"Ding! Wanted Mission issued – A fugitive has been detected on the rooftop of the host's building. The bounty is 100,000 yuan. Please capture the criminal as soon as possible to avoid further casualties."

Wang Yue was stunned. There was a fugitive on the rooftop?

How could such a dangerous person sneak into their residential compound? Wang Yue's heart pounded.

He felt both fear and excitement.

"Note: This criminal is armed with a sharp large machete. Please handle with care, host."

He was armed? Wang Yue was a little worried, but fortunately, he wasn't carrying a gun, or he wouldn't have gone to his death no matter what.

"System, with my current 80 constitution and the blue-level combat skill, what level am I at?"

"Slightly inferior to a special forces soldier. The host can be more confident."

Hearing the system's words, Wang Yue was a little surprised. He was now almost equivalent to a special forces soldier?

If that was the case, then being careful should be fine.

Wang Yue leaped out of bed and surveyed his surroundings, wondering what he could use to counter the criminal's machete.

After a long search, Wang Yue spotted a steel pipe over 2 meters long.

This steel pipe was used for setting up a mourning hall.

"It's quite handy."

After getting the steel pipe, Wang Yue felt much more at ease.

Thinking of his parents who had not yet returned home, Wang Yue couldn't rest easy with such a time bomb hidden in his residential compound.

Although he hadn't heard of any incidents in the compound in his previous life, his rebirth might bring about some different changes, which was uncertain.

Carrying the steel pipe, Wang Yue walked up the stairs.

He lived in an old-fashioned building, without an elevator. It was only six stories high, and his home was on the third floor.

As he ascended the stairs, Wang Yue felt his heartbeat quicken.

"I must strike first later."

Wang Yue said to himself.

For such a heinous criminal, a second's delay could put him in grave danger.

At this moment, on the rooftop, a middle-aged man around 40 years old was hiding in a water tank.

The water tank had long been abandoned and was very dry inside, with graffiti visible everywhere.

Children often came to the rooftop to play and would enter this water tank.

The man's eyes were sinister, and he had two terrifying scars on his face, looking like a truly evil character.

Beside him, a woman was bound hand and foot, her mouth gagged, and she was shedding tears helplessly.

The woman appeared to be in her early twenties.

She had a beautiful face and wore clothes from international brands, clearly indicating she came from a wealthy family.

"Miss Ding, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

The man looked infatuated and touched the woman's face with his hand.

"When we are completely safe, I will make you my woman."
