Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

Jiang Lai's exclamation roused the other girls.

Especially Chu Lexiao, who had just arrived.

Almost four thousand gold coins?

You have to understand, they've worked so hard for so long, and having a dozen or so gold coins in their reserves is already quite impressive.

However, Chen An actually managed to collect four thousand in just four days!

How did he do that?

Could it be that his talent is related to gold coins?

Chu Lexiao suppressed her shock and didn't ask.

However, their attention had already been drawn to them.

Jiang Lai continued, "After compounding this morning, we have 1683 gold coins. I earned 733 through trading today. Darling, you exchanged some crossbows for them, and you got over a thousand from killing monsters outside. We're almost at four thousand! That's amazing!"

"Not only that, we haven't received back the more than 1,000 crossbows we sold on credit yet. Once we collect the debt, it will be another 5,000 or so."

Her eyes light up whenever she talks about gold coins and resources.

The urge to be frugal and meticulous immediately kicked in.

Chen An also liked the way she did the accounting.

Very charming.

He exudes vitality.

He pulled the girl into his arms and kissed her on the cheek.

"good."

"Honey!"

Jiang Lai happily wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him twice more.

She knew that all she had to do was to do her job well.

Chen An would be satisfied with her abilities and thus reward her.

The egrets might be furious if they saw this.

Of course, Jiang Lai didn't care about any of that.

She was overjoyed as long as she knew she held a place in Chen An's heart.

Chen An nodded, his arm around Jiang Lai's waist, and spoke after a moment.

"So, you've completed your talent quest, right? You can level up now?"

Jiang Lai nodded.

"Hmm! The task was to trade 500 gold coins in the shop, and I watched the panel all day and exceeded the target! Honey, how did it go?"

"Very good, no one can beat you in this regard."

Chen An praised.

As expected of a young lady from the finance department, she is sensitive and quick when it comes to money.

If someone else had fifty gold coins, they would probably be quite pleased with themselves.

Jiang Lai's daily transaction volume is over 700.

Chen An didn't intend to compare himself with others.

I just felt really good.

"I'll upgrade your talent and see what surprises await you at level two of compound interest."

Chen An said decisively.

In this world, there are various currencies that can be used to exchange for goods.

Gold coins are still a form of hard currency.

Whether it's buying things, upgrading doors and windows, or placing furniture, you need gold coins.

He dared to say that no one in the entire neighborhood had more gold coins than him.

"Wow, thank you, darling!"

Jiang Lai said excitedly.

She wanted to tell Chen An when she finished her task today.

But the man had been busy ever since he got back, so she didn't want to make a fool of herself.

Now Chen An is actually offering to upgrade her talent.

She knew it; she was Chen An's most precious woman.

[You will spend 100 gold coins to upgrade your talent "Fertile Interest" to level 1. Do you confirm the upgrade?]

Jiang Lai decisively chose to upgrade.

Come to think of it, she might be the first person in the whole house to upgrade their talent.

Who knows, he might be the first one in the entire neighborhood.

However, it's hard to say for sure.

She had no intention of comparing herself to outsiders.

She was happy as long as her talent could bring benefits to Chen An.

In the blink of an eye, a white light flashed across Jiang Lai's body.

Her talent has been successfully upgraded.

"Honey, look!"

Jiang Lai immediately showed the panel to Chen An without him having to say a word.

The other girls also looked over curiously.

Everyone envied her for being able to upgrade her talent.

[Compound Interest (lv2): From now on, if you have more than 10 gold coins, you will receive an additional 4 gold coins in interest, increasing thereafter. The more principal you have, the more interest you will receive. If you have less than 10 gold coins, you will receive a guaranteed 5 gold coins per day.]

"Wow, it's doubled!"

Level 1 interest compounding: more than 10 gold coins will earn 2 gold coins in interest.

Now that you've upgraded to level two, the interest rate is a whopping 4 gold coins!

"My God, what kind of talent is this? It's terrifying."

Chu Lexiao exclaimed in surprise.

She felt like a wild woman who had just come out of the deep mountains, someone who had never seen the world.

In this way, it seems there's a reason why they have so many gold coins.

Interest compounding, that's impressive!

Chen An was also very happy.

What's the difference between this extra interest and getting something for free?

"Let's take another look at your upgrade requirements."

"Hey."

[Upgrade Requirements: 1000 Gold Coins, earn 5000 Gold Coins on the trading platform, and complete a designated task.]

Chen An raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing these conditions.

"Goodness, the basic requirements aren't too difficult, but this basic task is a bit tricky."

The basic task is to earn 5000 gold coins on the trading platform!

At today's pace, it will take seven or eight days.

Moreover, this wasn't even a designated task.

It remains to be seen whether further demands will be made.

"Five thousand gold coins, that's a huge sum of money! Most people probably wouldn't even dare to dream of it."

Wang Ziyan gasped.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought it was nonsense.

Chen An is truly amazing.

Looking back now, it was a wise decision for her to join the room.

As for the boyfriend she unilaterally chose, he certainly couldn't compare to Chen An in the slightest.

Wang Ziyan was shocked by this sudden idea.

Her heart is now gradually leaning towards Chen An.

She will not regret it.

She would be willing to be just one of Chen An's women in his harem.

"Honey, I'll try my best to earn gold coins from the trading platform!"

After seeing the upgrade requirements for her talent, Jiang Lai spoke enthusiastically.

As long as Chen An provides her with supplies, and she is willing to work hard, earning five thousand gold coins will only take a few days.

"Of course I believe you."

In their professional fields, Chen An adhered to the principle of not interfering or delaying, and fully supported them in giving full play to their abilities.

As long as the benefits brought by the women are positive.

He was too lazy to worry about too much, and letting them do things freely made things easier for him.

With the sly fox, the egret, constantly provoking them, it's hard for them not to engage in healthy, proactive competition.

"It seems that the stronger the talent, the higher the requirements for upgrading, but the benefits are also undeniably excellent."

Chen An held the lump in his hand, his eyes fixed ahead.

He had no idea what kind of surprises his talent would bring when it was upgraded.

Gold coins and such are not a problem.

The main concern is comfort.

He needs to quickly expand his room, add furniture, and bring women.

After finishing everything, the group lay down to rest.

With one more person, the already cramped bed became even more crowded.

Chu Lexiao slept between Bai Mengjie and Wang Ziyan.

Come to think of it, this was the first time she had ever slept in a bed in the world of eternal night.

It's so soft.

At that moment, a fierce wind was howling outside.

The wind was strong, rushing between the buildings.

Upon closer listening, it sounded as if someone was crying.

It's terrifying.

It gives me goosebumps.

Fortunately, Chen An's windows are high-end, giving people a great sense of security.

Just then, a woman's soft moan came from behind.

"Mmm, darling, I want it~"
