I just want to be a salted fish quietly Chapter 019

A few glasses of Ace of Spades left Lin Xian feeling a little tipsy.

He walked all the way back to the Four Seasons Hotel, took a cold shower, and felt refreshed again.

As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, he heard his phone ringing a pleasant tune. Lin Xian picked up his phone and saw that it was a call from Yan Xiaoman.

“Hello, what’s wrong?” Lin Xian asked.

“What are you doing? Why didn’t you reply to my message just now?” On the other end of the phone, Yan Xiaoman deliberately interrogated him in a serious tone.

Lin Xian said as a matter of course, “Taking a shower! What else could I be doing? Surfing?”

“Are you really that well-behaved? Not messing around outside?” Yan Xiaoman continued to ask.

Lin Xian, while drying his hair, joked, “I didn’t expect you to see through me! Alright, I’ll be honest, I’m currently in a super lively nightclub, surrounded by a dozen pretty girls.”

“Lin Xian!!!”

Feeling the vibration in his eardrums, Lin Xian quickly moved his phone away.

After a few seconds, he finally said, “Why are you shouting so loud? My ears are almost deafened by you!”

“Hmph!”

Yan Xiaoman snorted lightly, then asked somewhat aggrievedly, “Lin Xian, where exactly are you right now?”

Actually, she knew Lin Xian was teasing her, but she was still a little worried. What if this scoundrel really went to a nightclub?

On the way home just now, Wang Lan had whispered many things, making Yan Xiaoman feel a sense of urgency.

“Then where do you want me to be right now?”

Lin Xian walked into the mini-bar, took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator, opened it, and took a sip.

Yan Xiaoman said without hesitation, “Hotel!”

“Sigh!”

Lin Xian sighed, “Such a large room, it’s too lonely living here alone. It would be great if someone came to accompany me!”

“Big pervert!” Yan Xiaoman’s slightly shy voice came from the other end of the phone.

“As long as you come to accompany me, I promise to stay in the hotel room obediently and not go anywhere.” Lin Xian teased.

Yan Xiaoman said righteously, “Don’t even think about it! Lin Xian, I’m telling you, don’t expect me to do that kind of thing with you before I graduate from university!”

“Hehe!”

Hearing this, Lin Xian smiled without speaking.

A woman’s words, just listen to them, if you take them seriously, you lose.

A month ago, Yan Xiaoman also said she wouldn’t fall in love before graduating from university, right?

What happened?

“I’m not talking anymore, my cousin is urging me to take a shower. You be good at the hotel, see you tomorrow.” Yan Xiaoman said and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xian took a photo of the room with his phone and posted it on his Moments.

…

In the bathroom, Yan Xiaoman looked at the Moments post Lin Xian made, feeling sweet inside, and couldn’t help but smile, “Consider yourself smart!”

…

Leaning back on the bed, Lin Xian drank his drink and began to study the system store.

Currently, it seems that the system store only refreshes one item at a time. He wondered if the number of items would increase after his level goes up.

In addition, what frustrated Lin Xian the most was that if he didn’t purchase the items in the store, the store wouldn’t refresh.

This meant that no matter what item refreshed in the future, he would have to buy it.

“I always feel like this system is up to something!” Lin Xian suspected.

Shaking his head, he focused his gaze on the only item.

[Mysterious Cassette]: This cassette contains a song you’ve never heard before. Price: 100, 000 yuan!

…

Looking at the item description, Lin Xian’s face was full of black question marks.

A broken cassette tape, one song costs 100, 000 yuan?

This system is too dark, isn’t it?

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xian finally decided to buy it.

He’d just consider it spending 100, 000 yuan to refresh the system store once, and it could also increase experience points.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that this 100, 000 yuan seemed quite worth it.

“Purchase item!”

After purchasing, the system store section immediately changed.

Host: Lin Xian

Level: LV 3

LV 3 Privilege Reward: You will receive 0.4 yuan reward every time you blink.

Upgrade Experience: 126900/1000000 (Experience can only be obtained through consumption, not through borrowing or earning money!)

System Store: 23:59:59 remaining until item refresh

Items: [Mysterious Cassette]

Skills: [One-handed Ferrari Driving]

Balance: 749808.1 yuan

…

He still needed over 800, 000 experience points to reach LV 4.

Lin Xian currently had 740, 000 yuan in savings. At his current income of 7680 yuan a day, he would have enough money to upgrade in about fifteen days.

In fact, Lin Xian had many ways to quickly increase his system level, but he hadn’t implemented any of them.

The main reason was that he didn’t want to disrupt his leisurely lifestyle and become a slave to money.

Money could never be earned endlessly. Lin Xian felt that compared to making money, enjoying life and doing what he liked was the most important thing.

…

Looking at the black cassette tape in the system interface, Lin Xian decided to listen to it.

Although this thing was useless, it cost him 100, 000 yuan after all, so he couldn’t just leave it there.

“But how do I use this thing? Do I have to specially buy a walkman?” Lin Xian frowned.

“Retrieve item!”

To his surprise, after retrieving the cassette tape, the black cassette suddenly vanished without a trace.

At the same time, a melody gradually echoed in his mind.

“Every morning at 7:30, I wake up naturally

The wind chimes ring, another day the clouds are light

The well-dried clothes smell reassuring

Everything is soft and peaceful”

One second Lin Xian was marveling at the system’s black technology, the next second, as the melody began, he became immersed in the song.

The melody of this song couldn’t be called beautiful, and the lyrics were unremarkable.

But it was such a simple song that made Lin Xian incredibly relaxed and comfortable.

“This is the most ordinary day

Do you miss it too?

Not rushing, not chasing, slowly walking home

Just idly spending the years without worries

Only the evening breeze caresses my cheeks

…

This is the most perfect day

Do you want it too?

Life can be less complicated

Just idly spending the years without worries

Only the evening breeze caresses my cheeks

One day we will find her”

After listening to the song, Lin Xian felt that it was simply a perfect portrayal of himself.

Unrushed, unhurried, just quietly enjoying life and savoring it.

Although he hadn’t professionally studied music, he could still appreciate whether a song was good or popular.

Without exaggeration, this song definitely had the potential to become a huge hit.

And a huge hit song, yet it only sold for 100, 000!

He had just cursed the system for being dark, but now he realized it was incredibly cost-effective!

Suddenly, he was filled with anticipation for the system store.

Of course, Lin Xian had no intention of making money from this song. Making money was impossible, he would never make money in this lifetime. He could only rely on blinking to sustain his life.

Yawning, he turned off the lights in the room and continued to play the song in his mind.

Soon, Lin Xian drifted off to sleep amidst the melodies…
