I'm almost 45 and the system is just coming

Chapter 5 A way out
"Level nine?"

Zhou Tian looked at the words "Level 0" on the light screen and his heart couldn't help but twitch slightly. God knew how long it would take to reach Level , and he was just an old man who was almost years old. He didn't know if he would ever reach that day.

"Forget it, work hard, live one more day!"

He sighed and suddenly wanted to lie down. After all, he was nearly fifty years old and had never come into contact with the extraordinary. But suddenly one day the system told him that there were also extraordinary people in the real world, which made him feel a little at a loss.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. He continued to write the novel. After all, this kind of thing was still far away for him, and making money was the most important thing at the moment.

A month after the novel was published, it can be said that in order to make money, now that he has such a large sum of money, his attitude towards money seems to have changed slightly.

Now he was more interested in seeing whether he could get the ability he wanted in the lucky draw after the novel was finished.

For a moment, the room was silent, with only the sound of typing echoing in the room.

After he finished writing the five chapters, he slowly stretched his body. Perhaps because he no longer had the burden of making money in his heart, he felt that he wrote particularly smoothly today. He looked up at the time on the computer and found that the five chapters that usually took him eight hours to write only took him five hours today.

"Gululu!"

He felt hungry and suddenly realized that he had not eaten yet. He transferred two thousand yuan from his bank card to his WeChat, opened the food delivery platform, and ordered a bibimbap.

Now that he has money, he no longer wants to cook. Although takeout is not as healthy as cooking for himself, it is at least less troublesome and allows him to save some time to rest.

After ordering the takeout, Zhou Tian got up, walked over to the sofa and lay down, unable to help but let out a comfortable moan.

He opened his phone and started watching Tik Tok. Looking at the young lady on Tik Tok, he said seriously, "Why do you keep sending me these things? Don't I look like a serious person?"

While talking and laughing to himself, his eyes couldn't help but look at the sexy body twisting on the TikTok.

It was not until there was a knock on the door that he put down his phone, stood up and opened the door. Seeing it was the delivery guy, he took the takeaway from his hand with a smile, said thank you, watched him leave, and then closed the door.

He walked to the table, put it down, opened it and started eating.

Although the food didn't taste very good, it was still enough to fill his stomach. After finishing it and feeling refreshed, he slowly thought about his next plan.

Although he will not be short of money in the future due to system rebates, he needs to find a way out for the money; he cannot just keep it in the bank.

After all, as far as the current bank interest rates are concerned, the interest rates simply cannot keep up with the rate of depreciation of the RMB. As an ordinary person, we can best experience the speed at which prices are soaring in today's society.

He remembered that a few years ago, a piece of tofu was only one yuan, but now, only five or six years later, the price has risen to three yuan, and the price of vegetables has also skyrocketed.

Sometimes, he even doubted whether the 4,000 or 5,000 RMB he earned a month was enough to eat, considering that the city he lived in was just a fourth or fifth tier city.

However, the prices are even comparable to those in second-tier cities, and this kind of life pressure makes him feel suffocated.

Now that he finally has money, he wants it to make money instead of just keeping it in the bank. He doesn't understand funds and knows nothing about stocks. Moreover, all the channels for rising profits in today's society have been blocked by capital operations.

It is no longer easy to find a real way out. Even if he has funds, if he is not careful, he will become a leek of capital.

Thinking about it, his mind kept thinking, but no matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't find a way that suited him.

"Forget it, there's no rush now, let's wait a little longer!"

Just as he finished speaking, a cell phone rang.

"Hey! Xiao Lu!"

Seeing the display on the phone, Zhou Tian couldn't help but smile.

"Xiao Zhou, where are you now?"

"Of course I'm at home, how about you?" "I just drove past your house and wanted to see if you were home so I could have dinner with you!"

Lu Peng's voice came from the phone.

"I've already eaten. Why didn't you tell me earlier? But wait a moment, I'll come down to find you right away!"

After saying that, Zhou Tian got up, changed his clothes, picked up the key, went downstairs, and walked out the door. He saw a middle-aged man in his forties wearing glasses standing at the door and smiling at him.

Zhou Tian couldn't help but greeted him and asked, "How is it? Is the sports car okay today?"

"Not bad! Let's go. We are now in your territory. Don't be stingy. You have to treat us today!"

Chatting and laughing, the two walked towards the gatehouse outside the community.

"Of course, I've never been stingy before, but you always surprise me! You didn't even call and let me know in advance!"

Zhou Tian walked and cursed with laughter.

"I didn't expect anyone to call Chedao Yudong, otherwise I would definitely tell you. By the way, do you have any good restaurants here?"

Lu Peng explained.

"There are basically no good restaurants, but there is a knife-cut noodle restaurant that has only been open for a short time. The noodles there are pretty good. I'll take you to try them!"

Although Greenland Community is a relatively large community, since most of the people around it are ordinary people, the business here is not prosperous. There are basically few restaurants, but there are many stores selling decoration materials.

As they were talking, they came to a restaurant that looked relatively luxurious from the outside. On the sign of the restaurant was written "Jin Xiangqing Knife-Cut Noodle Restaurant".

"This is it, let's go!"

Zhou Tian pointed at the restaurant and said, then he opened the curtain and walked in, and Lu Peng followed closely behind him.

As soon as I entered, a wave of heat hit me in the face and I heard shouting from inside.

"The sliced ​​noodles at table 9, number 18, number 18, anyone want any?"

"I'm coming!"

The sounds of people coming out and responding to each other were endless.

"Wow, there are a lot of people here!"

Lu Peng looked around at the almost full table and couldn't help but said in surprise.

"Yes! Mainly because it's cheap, so some people who are too lazy to cook eat noodles here!"

As Zhou Tian spoke, he walked to the counter, ordered a large bowl of knife-cut noodles, paid 11 yuan, then turned around and looked for an empty table, and the two sat down.

"Xiao Lu, you have been driving a taxi recently. Can you still make money from driving a taxi?"

Zhou Tian didn't know much about the rental industry, but since he didn't have any connections, he might as well invest his money in the rental industry. After all, that's what Lu Peng did. Compared to unfamiliar industries, this industry didn't seem so difficult to enter.

"How should I say this?"

Listening to his friend's question, Lu Peng couldn't help but ponder for a moment, then looked up at Zhou Tiandao.
