Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 18 The Secret Stash Scandal

It was almost the end of November, and snowflakes were falling in the Longyou region.

Today, Longcheng No. 1 Middle School is deserted. 🐳♔ 69𝕤Ĥ𝕌ｘ.𝐜𝓞м 👺♬

After the preliminary exam, the school was practically on holiday. The top-tier candidates were waiting to go to Xianyang for the national exam, the second-tier candidates were waiting to go to the prefectural capital, and the third and fourth-tier candidates were already preparing to enter the workforce.

Qin Feng, who was admitted to university through the top-tier entrance exam, hardly ever went to school anymore, since his teacher, Zhang Beihai, was away on a government-sponsored study tour.

Moreover, Qin Feng had very little affection for his classmates, and he didn't feel any discomfort when they parted ways in high school. Qin Feng thought about it and realized that this might be because he was an orphan in his previous life!

Qin Feng hasn't been idle these past two days either.

First of all, he had won first place on three lists this time, and various celebrities invited Qin Feng's parents to be guests.

Qin Feng's father, Qin Wuyang, was the vice president of the Qin Veterans Association. He particularly enjoyed these boastful social gatherings and was very successful in various places. It's conceivable that if Qin Feng were to stand out even slightly in Xianyang, his father, Qin Wuyang, would become the president, be promoted to the first rank, and be promoted to a third-level citizen—that would be a piece of cake!

And his mother even got a promotion opportunity, a special business license from the Longcheng Police Department!

This business license is the license to sell prosthetic bodies.

The topic of selling prosthetic bodies has generated a great deal of public discussion!

Moreover, this has long been a major human rights issue that the other six states have used to attack Qin!

The reason is simple: among the seven Warring States, the other six states had opened up access to human prosthetics and gene modification projects. This means that if a person has any health problems, they can be corrected through gene technology and prosthetic technology, ensuring that every human being is healthy and free from diseases!

The Qin Dynasty was different. It strictly controlled prosthetic technology and gene modification technology. If either of these technologies was discovered, the person would be killed. It could even be said that the severity of the situation was such that the shooter would be fired first and then interrogated!

However, recently, as public opinion has intensified, the matter has become increasingly uncontrollable. ♖👤 ❻9𝔰нǗx.𝐂Ⓞм ♔😾

After all, from the perspective of ordinary people, their mindset has not risen to the point of strictly refusing any modification to their bodies just because they are given to them by their parents. In the eyes of many people, a little modification is nothing, at least it can give them basic living skills.

The Qin Dynasty was troubled by such calls. It could not change its original intention, but it could not pretend not to hear them either.

Therefore, since last month, Daqin has begun to issue prosthetic body sales qualification certificates in a planned manner. Only sellers who have obtained the corresponding prosthetic body qualification certificate can sell prosthetic bodies, and they must undergo strict review.

In a city as large as Longcheng with a population of 300,000, there are only ten licenses to sell prosthetic bodies, which means that only ten prosthetic body stores can be opened.

Such a limited number of stores means explosive profits!

Although the profit margin for low-end prosthetics is very low, the volume is huge!

Such a qualification certificate should theoretically not be available to ordinary cadre families like Qin Feng's, but Qin Feng's preliminary examination was so famous that some people even predicted that Qin Feng's trip to Xianyang would also be a great success.

So, the Longcheng Public Security Bureau gritted its teeth and issued a qualification certificate to Qin Feng's family.

My mother was very excited about this certificate. She had never liked doing odd jobs at work and had always wanted to start her own small business. Now that the opportunity had come and she had the certificate, the only remaining question was where to get the funds to open the shop.

"There are only one hundred stores in the entire city! And the city has a population of over three hundred thousand! Even if we assume one in one hundred people is disabled, that's nearly three thousand disabled people. Each store needs at least three hundred slots. And if each slot earns one hundred yuan, that's thirty thousand credits! And that also involves annual program updates and faulty component replacements!"

"Just think about it, you two, what a huge deal this is!"

In the parents' bedroom, Mom was gesturing towards Dad, Qin Wuyang, who was making a name for himself.

Qin Wuyang said with a bitter smile, "This is a big deal, but we don't have any money! In my opinion, we should just transfer this certificate. Huang Shiren mentioned to me that he is willing to pay 500,000 credits to buy this certificate."

"Don't even think about it!" Mom stamped her foot. "That swindler Huang Shiren, what wouldn't he do? Let me tell you, Qin Wuyang, I've already quit my job. I want to start my own business! This shop was a rare opportunity given to us by the police station because of our son! I have to take it!"

Qin Wuyang asked, "So how much money do you want?"

Mom thought for a moment, "It'll cost at least 300,000! Prosthetic bodies aren't cheap!"

Qin Wuyang scratched his head, "Where am I supposed to get 300,000 for you? Or, how about we use Xiaofeng's 100,000 to cover it first?"

"How can that be?" Mom said. "That's for Qin Feng's future schooling expenses in Xianyang; it can't be touched!"

Qin Wuyang said, "Where am I supposed to get so much money?"

My mom said, "Don't you have a lot of friends? You can always borrow some! Besides, it's not like I won't pay them back. We'll pay them back when we make some money!"

Qin Wuyang said, "No, I can't open my mouth!"

My mother snapped, "You little rascal! You bully the weak and fear the strong, a coward to outsiders but tough to your own family—"

The sound of his parents arguing drifted into Qin Feng's room. After finishing his push-ups, Qin Feng remembered his bank card.

Last time, I received two million credits on the dark web. After giving two hundred thousand to Dr. Baijia, I still have one million eight hundred thousand left.

There's no use keeping so much money for myself. Since my mom is going to open a shop anyway, I might as well give it to her.

With my intelligence, there are plenty of ways to make money these days!

Thinking of this, Qin Feng took out several bank cards, deposited one million into one of the blank cards, and kept the remaining eight hundred thousand for his own future expenses.

Qin Feng took the credit card with one million yuan on it and went out. "Mom, my classmate asked me to go out and play!"

Mom came out of the bedroom. "Okay! Remember to come home for dinner tonight."

Just as Qin Feng passed by his father's fishing rod bag at the door, he kicked it intentionally or unintentionally, and a card slid out of the bag.

Qin Feng pretended not to see and left.

My mother glanced at it, quickly picked up the card that had slipped out of the fishing rod bag, and soon after, a scream that seemed to come from the bedroom, the kind of screams that only existed during the evolution of humankind, came from there.

"You actually have a secret stash of money! A million of it!"

"I don't!"

"No? How did this card end up in your fishing rod bag?!"

"I don't know!"

"You don't know? You don't know how I could just ask you for a random password and the card would open? And it's worth a million credits!"

"I really don't know!"

"Qin Wuyang, you're really something! How could you do this to me? I, this princess, gave up everything to elope with you and even gave birth to your son, and now you think you can just sit on my head and shit on me? Have you forgotten all those sweet lies you told me under the moonlit flowers? Waaah..."

"Don't cry, okay? That was my secret stash of money. Actually, I've been saving it for you to open a shop. How about we open a prosthetics shop?"

"..."
