Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 5 Hello, you can't poop here.

Even though he had anticipated it, he still couldn't help but feel excited when he actually confirmed that he had 'opened' it.

Moreover, the appearance of this gold bracelet was so simple and abrupt that it couldn't possibly have been stolen.

I grabbed the gold bracelet; it felt quite heavy, which immediately put me at ease. As long as it wasn't plastic, it was fine.

There were no tags or weight markings on the bracelet. The size wasn't large, but it must have weighed at least 20 or 30 grams.

He couldn't tell if it was real or fake, since he wasn't a gold dealer. But he'd find out at a gold shop tomorrow.

Just as he was getting excited, his phone suddenly rang.

When he took a look, he realized that Yuan Meng had sent him a voice call request.

"Master Lin, I'm here! Hurry up, it's already midnight! What good things do you have for me?"

As soon as the call connected, Yuan Meng's impatient voice came through.

"What good stuff?" Lin Mo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Didn't you slap me three times, making me call you in the middle of the night? I've read Journey to the West, I know what I'm talking about!"

Lin Mo:
"Wait a minute, I'm sending you something."

He genuinely couldn't understand Yuan Meng's thought process; he wasn't Bodhi Patriarch, yet she was doing this.

But he quickly came up with a solution, found a way to bypass it online, and then sent the link to Yuan Mengdao:
"Today I will teach you the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Technique, which will surely enable you to display your great power. You will be no match for Heavenly Beings or Asuras, and Kree will be nothing more than a scoundrel!"

Don't talk about repaying my kindness. Just don't mention it to me if you cause trouble in the future!

Upon receiving the link, Yuan Meng immediately said it was no problem, that she would handle anything that happened, and then hung up the phone.

"Ah, still young!" Lin Mo smiled, clearly in a good mood.

But soon Yuan Meng called again. Of course, Lin Mo wouldn't answer. He wasn't stupid; if he did, he'd probably get yelled at.

After making five consecutive phone calls and seeing that he didn't answer, Yuan Meng sent three 60-second voice messages.

You don't even need to click to know it contains a lot of "mommy" content; it ends with a bloody cleaver emoji.

Lin Mo, clutching the gold bracelet, was so excited that he didn't know what time it was before finally falling asleep.

The next morning, Lin Mo, who was supposed to sleep in, got up early, contrary to his usual behavior.

After a quick wash, I went out with the gold bracelet in my hand.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the residential area, I saw a middle-aged man carrying a fishing rod and a fishing box walking out of the supermarket.

"He Qiang, get back here! If you dare go back, I'll change my surname to yours if you ever get out of the house tonight!"

A woman shouted at the entrance of the supermarket.

The man was not afraid at all, snorted and turned to leave.

Who says the human race has no great emperors? Lin Mo sincerely admired him.

"Hey, good morning! Have you had breakfast yet?"

Turning his head, He Qiang looked at him and said somewhat embarrassedly.

The main reason is that Lin Mo has been frequently shopping at his supermarket since he moved in. Although he doesn't know the name, he has gotten a general impression of him over time.

"Hmm, we were just about to go eat. Are you going fishing?"

Lin Mo is neither a socially awkward person nor socially anxious; he is capable of normal social interactions.

"Yeah, I'm exhausted from work every day, so I finally have a day off. I have to play a couple of rounds! I'm off now!"

After saying that, he got on his electric scooter and drove away.

After having a quick breakfast by the roadside, Lin Mo took a taxi to the commercial street and found a small gold shop with a sign that advertised high prices for buying back gold.

"Hello, do you buy gold here?"

Lin Mo didn't waste any time and directly stated his purpose.

A middle-aged man sat at the front desk; he was probably the owner and also an employee. "Receive."

The boss greeted him with a smile as soon as he heard that a customer had come to the door.

Take out the bracelet and hand it to the shopkeeper.

Do you have an invoice?

"Can't find it."

"fine"

The shopkeeper looked at it, then weighed it: 32 grams.

"Can I burn it?"

"no problem"

He's only selling gold, not bracelets, so it doesn't matter.

The boss then took out a blowtorch and chatted with him while burning the food.

"This bracelet looks very new."

"Yeah, I gave it to my girlfriend, but she didn't want it!" Lin Mo said expressionlessly.

This was the excuse he had prepared before he came. As for the invoice, he said it was a surprise and threw it away. Although it sounded a bit like a bootlicker, he was bootlicking anyway, money was the most important thing.

Upon hearing this, the boss fell silent, even looking at him with pity.

"The bracelet is fine. Based on today's gold price of 820 per gram, the total is 26240. Do you think that's acceptable?"

"No problem!" Lin Mo said expressionlessly.

Seeing his expression, the shop owner assumed he was heartbroken and readily made the payment. Since it was a small, privately owned shop, the payment was made via WeChat transfer, face-to-face.

Unlike large gold shops or places that specialize in recycling gold, which require filling out forms and providing bank cards, this is very convenient.

The moment Lin Mo stepped out of the jewelry store, he could no longer suppress a smile.

Not only did he receive a windfall, but most importantly, he finally confirmed that it was all real and felt that the future was bright.

Suppressing his inner elation, he walked faster and faster, constantly imagining himself becoming a billionaire, financially independent, and a successful person that everyone envies.

But at the same time, I was also a little scared. What if someone found out? What if the purchase page suddenly disappeared one day?

For a moment, Lin Mo was also somewhat confused. Faced with this opportunity that could change his destiny, what kind of mindset should he adopt?

Before he knew it, he had arrived at People's Park.

It's Saturday, and there are quite a few people around: children flying kites, old men selling kites, signs prohibiting kite flying on the grass, and security guards who are in charge of prohibiting kite flying but don't seem to be looking in the direction of the children.

Everyone was in good spirits, each doing their own thing, everything was in place, yet it was very harmonious.

Lin Mo's heart calmed down immediately. He squatted down and touched the wild grass in the corner of the roadside.

Yes, why think so much? It's like this weed. The wind blows it, the sun shines on it, and it seems to have the sunshine and the wind, but in reality, besides being a blade of grass, it doesn't have anything. The sunshine and the wind will disappear.

Therefore, one should bask in the sunshine when there is sunshine and enjoy the wind when there is wind, for it has nothing in the world, just like oneself.

"Whoo~"

Lin Mo let out a heavy sigh, having figured out some things, and felt much lighter.

"One should not be too greedy. If you get a thousand coins, you want ten thousand; if you become an emperor, you want to become an immortal. Humans only have two hands. Even if you enter a mountain of gold and silver, you can only take two things. If you take a gold and silver bracelet, you can't take a jade ruyi. How can you have whatever you want?"

"Leverage purchasing pages to empower yourself, achieve financial freedom, and enrich your knowledge and skills."

Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt a surge of comfort and couldn't help but let out a sound of contentment.
"Ah~"

But the next second, the security guard's voice came from behind:

"Hello, you can't poop here!"

Lin Mo:
