Chapter 37 "Limited Edition Title 'Lucky Child of the God of Love,' for Sale!
Not a single vehicle was visible on the street.
No matter if the loan had been paid off or not, your car was gone.
But this morning, not even nine o'clock yet, the streets were bustling with traffic once again.
One after another, rickshaws whizzed by, propelled by... humans.
Yes.
Overnight, the city had somehow filled with throngs of hardworking individuals pulling rickshaws.
Chen Yi reached out to hail a rickshaw, handed a cigarette to the bare-chested middle-aged man with a towel around his neck, and then began to inquire.
"Who organized you guys?"
"What's the charge?"
He asked bluntly, and the middle-aged man was just as straightforward with his reply.
"A big boss found us last night."
"That big boss has many companies under his control and even has some connections with the Law Enforcement Bureau. It's said he's a person with influence high above."
"He gave us the rickshaws and told us we'd split the day's earnings fifty-fifty."
"By the way, where do you want to go?"
Chen Yi nodded thoughtfully and then shook his head, "Nowhere in particular."
It was quick.
These capitalists, upon seeing a sudden vacancy in the market, were like wolves spotting a chunk of meat, relentlessly seizing the opportunity.
"Our boss said, if the customers don't know where to go, we can recommend a place,"
"The Chongyang Bird Market."
"A lot of people are there trading Skill Fragments they don't need, along with some props and whatnot. You might want to check it out; it's also owned by our boss."
"Oh?"
Chen Yi raised an eyebrow with interest, "Then, how do you charge?"
"2 Points, I'll take you anywhere in the city, no distance restrictions."
"As long as we don't leave the city."
"Fine, let's go."
"Right away, please sit tight, sir."
The rickshaw puller, somewhat excited, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his towel and started running, pulling the rickshaw with vigor!
The man before him had a total of seven titles above his head!
Clearly, he was an important figure.
Pulling such a person around the city, that adds to one's face, doesn't it?
Chen Yi looked up at the middle-aged man who appeared somewhat older, and casually said, "Name your price?"
The middle-aged man, hesitating for a moment upon seeing Chen Yi stop at his stall, finally extended a shaky finger.
"What's that price?"
"I want an E-class, Bright Brand Pedal Bicycle from the Points Store."
As his words fell.
The listening vendors and passersby nearby burst into laughter.
"I say, brother, just because you see Brother Chen Yi isn't short on money, it doesn't mean you can fleece him like this?"
"Exactly, and to think you would even sell a title like that, it's downright shameful, to be honest, I look down on you from the bottom of my heart!"
A young man, with a look of scorn and disdain, leaned forward and spat a thick gob of spit at the middle-aged man.
"Brother Chen Yi, you might not be aware."
"It's true that titles can be traded, but the effect of this title is when you face certain death, there's a one in ten chance that the crisis is transferred to someone you truly love."
"Titles can be traded, but their effects cannot."
"That means if you, Brother Chen Yi, buy this title, when you encounter certain death, there's a one in ten chance this man's true love will take the hit for you."
"What do you say, isn't this equivalent to selling his wife's life?"
"Shouldn't he be scolded?"
"It's simply worse than a beast."
Chen Yi nodded thoughtfully, unaware of this effect, but he didn't say much more. Instead, he quickly exchanged for an E-class Bicycle from the Points Store and traded it to the middle-aged man.
He bought the title.
The transaction was complete.
The middle-aged man, without even packing up his stall, squeezed through the crowd and fled from the scene amidst the laughter of everyone around.
Yancheng had allocated almost all the points to Chen Yi for this event.
Hence, at this point, very few people in Yancheng had the points to buy an E-class vehicle; those who did were either rich or noble.
Just then—
A woman with an above-average figure suddenly burst out from the crowd, striding quickly up to Chen Yi, staring intently and excitedly into Chen Yi's eyes with a trembling voice as she urgently said.
"Look into my eyes."
"I like you, I like you, I like you, I..."
Before she could finish—
"Go like your Mom."
The Tuberculosis Rabbit, with an unpleasant expression, put away the wooden stick in his hand, looked at the woman who had fainted in front of him with a hint of disgust and said.
"Lucky for me, I reacted quickly, otherwise Yi bro, you might have fallen for her trap."
