CHAPTER 49: CHAPTER 22: WHY ARE YOU A MAN?

Seeing the comments from netizens shouting ’impossible’, Zhang Wei felt immensely satisfied.

At this moment, he seemed to have embodied the protagonist from an online novel, suddenly realizing how delightful it felt to ’slap faces’.

He immediately made a decision to let those who just looked down on him see with their own eyes how he earned his ’first pot of gold’.

After all, if you’re going to ’slap faces’, you should do it to the end.

"You don’t believe it, do you?"

"I’ll show you all."

Just at that moment, the buyer who had made the purchase privately messaged him with a question.

[Want a Bear]: Are you sure it’s flawless?

Zhang Wei examined the coin in his hand thoroughly, feeling more confident, and replied: I guarantee there’s not even a scratch.

[Want a Bear]: Where should we meet?

Only then did Zhang Wei notice that they were actually in the same city.

After thinking about it, it seemed reasonable since the person spent so much money and asked for a face-to-face transaction.

Moreover, he was also worried the other party might swap his coin if it was sent by courier, so he replied: Either way is fine.

With a face-to-face transaction, handing over the money and goods in person, everyone could rest assured.

This time the person didn’t reply instantly but gave him an address after a few minutes.

Rainbow Bridge Market.

It’s about an hour’s distance from his home.

[Want a Bear]: How soon can you get there?

It was obvious the other party was very anxious about this transaction.

This gave Zhang Wei more peace of mind. It showed he genuinely wanted this item.

Zhang Wei looked at the clock on the wall and arranged to meet at three in the afternoon.

This way, he could leave some time to wash his hair and tidy up.

After all, the other party was a money-spending rich person, so what if they could get to know each other?

Thinking of this, he considered this transaction extremely important.

Before going out, he planned to wrap the coin properly—at least worthy of its price.

Seeing him washing his hair and changing clothes to head out, the netizens couldn’t help but worry.

[Face-to-face isn’t good, what if the other party is a scammer?]

[I always use courier for selling items, no matter how close I’d rather not save on that delivery fee.]

Zhang Wei didn’t mind: "What do I have to be scammed out of? They can’t scam my looks, right?"

Mu Yunchu’s eyes flickered for a moment.

She, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke:

"If getting rich comes at a cost, would you still do it?"

"Cost?" Zhang Wei blinked, "What cost could be worse than being poor."

"As long as it doesn’t cost me my life, I can accept any price."

Then, without giving Mu Yunchu a chance to continue, he directly opened the door and left.

"Don’t worry, since you said I’ll get rich, once this deal is done, I’ll send you a fireworks stick."

A fireworks stick is worth ten yuan on the platform.

Netizens all criticized him for being so stingy.

If it weren’t for Mu Yunchu’s words, he wouldn’t have had this inspiration.

But Mu Yunchu shook her head.

She spoke with a firm, unyielding tone, "No, even without me, he would still do it."

Though on the surface she was affirming Zhang Wei,

to some of Mu Yunchu’s old fans, there was a faint sense she implied something else.

Zhang Wei felt that Mu Yunchu ’understands things’.

[Why don’t we bet on whether this deal with the person of destiny will succeed?]

[Once they place the order, it can hardly fail, right?]

[You don’t understand. Many buyers pick on flaws and haggle over prices once they get there. The quicker they place the order, the more aggressive they are during bargain.]

[I bet it won’t succeed. Not for any reason other than my recent visit to the bank to change hundreds of coins for cash. If it really happens, I’d probably end up in the emergency room.]

[Isn’t that right...]

...

Zhang Wei planned to take the bus, but then he figured he was about to have money, so he took a taxi directly.

[So extravagant? If I’m not mistaken, it’s about 20 kilometers away.]

"This little money doesn’t matter."

Zhang Wei brushed aside his bangs.

Already beginning to celebrate his entry into the ranks of the wealthy in advance.

While in the car, he chatted idly with netizens, so the time passed quickly, and it felt like he arrived at the agreed location in the blink of an eye.

They arranged to meet in front of a wall, where few people usually lingered, making it easier to recognize each other. Zhang Wei even took a photo to send to the buyer.

Then, looking around, across the street was the market. The surroundings weren’t good, almost completely fitting the description: dirty, chaotic, and messy.

Zhang Wei stood there for a while, starting to get impatient.

On one hand, the sun above was roasting his face, on the other hand, if he didn’t see the buyer for a minute, he feared something might go wrong.

Especially when the agreed time arrived, and he didn’t see anyone, he anxiously began to tap his foot.

The confident look he had earlier disappeared.

[What’s going on, why hasn’t the buyer arrived yet?]

[Could it be he’s getting stood up?]

[I said, how can there be such a spendthrift in the world?]

And Zhang Wei, caught by glimpses of the screen, became even more anxious.

He couldn’t help but wonder if he really got scammed.

Until, when he was itchy and about to take out a cigarette, a shadow appeared in front of him, and above his head, someone called out his platform id.

Though the voice carried a bit of uncertainty.

Looking up, Zhang Wei saw a man in his forties standing before him, wearing a simple black t-shirt paired with dark blue jeans, with a string of keys hanging from his waist.

This look... seems somehow familiar?

[Really? Someone actually came?]

[No matter what, I must see what this spendthrift looks like, spending so much money.]

[But doesn’t this attire look like a wealthy person at all?]

You can’t blame the netizens for doubting.

The man standing in front of Zhang Wei had an oily face, his t-shirt seemed like a cheap stall product, not to mention the jangling keys on his waist.

[To put it mildly, what kind of rich person wears keys on their waist like that!]

But Zhang Wei no longer had the mood to pay attention to what the netizens were saying.

Now that the person appeared, at least it proved he wasn’t scammed.

What the buyer wore had nothing to do with him.

Maybe it was just his hobby?

As long as he pays those three thousand yuan, who cares if he’s untidy, even if he comes dressed like a beggar!

Zhang Wei’s doubts were dispelled, but the expression on the man’s face was quite strange.

Especially after seeing him silent for quite some time, he reconfirmed his username once more.

"Yes, it’s me."

As Zhang Wei nodded, the strange expression on the man’s face became even more pronounced.

He looked around, seeing nobody paying attention, he finally asked the question stuck in his heart:

"No."

"How come you’re a guy?"
