I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

"Buzz...buzz..."

My phone was vibrating incessantly on the bedside table, displaying an unfamiliar number on the screen.

Jiang Chen had just finished washing up and was planning how to start his "money-making" spree for the day when this phone call interrupted his thoughts.

He answered the call casually and put it on speakerphone.

"Feed? Who?"

"Jiang Chen! You little bastard! Did you cast some kind of curse on your brother?!"

A sharp, angry female voice came from the other end of the phone.

It's my second aunt!

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up wildly.

coming!

The "after-sales feedback" for the unlucky guy is here!

He suppressed a laugh and feigned surprise, asking, "Second Aunt? What did you say? I don't understand. What happened to my brother?"

"You're still pretending!"

My aunt's voice came like a machine gun.

"Your brother had a really bad day! He left home and just got downstairs when a basin of hot water from upstairs poured over him from head to toe! He came back, changed his clothes, and went to work. He slipped and fell on flat ground near the company entrance, spilling all the reports he'd worked on all night yesterday into a puddle!"

"That's not all! During the meeting, my brand-new iPhone suddenly started playing 'Heroes' Song' on its own, at full volume, right in front of all the leaders, and I couldn't turn it off no matter what I did! The leaders' faces turned green!"

"Just now, he was driving to meet a client, everything was fine on the road, and suddenly he had a flat tire! Tell me! Was it you who did this?! You were the one who transferred that unlucky two hundred yuan to him yesterday!"

Jiang Chen almost burst out laughing as he listened to his second aunt's rapid-fire accusations.

Cool!

That was fucking awesome!

This isn't just a "miniature halo of bad luck," it's practically a "precision retaliation system"!

It's more satisfying than slapping him a few times yourself!

"Second Aunt, you've really wronged me."

Jiang Chen's tone was extremely innocent.

"Yesterday, I realized we hadn't been in touch for a while, so I transferred two hundred dollars to my brother so he could buy a pack of cigarettes and keep in touch. Who knew he'd be so unlucky? This... maybe it's Mercury retrograde?"

"Water my ass!"

My aunt was breathing heavily with anger on the other end of the phone. "I don't care! Jiang Wei said it's all because of your two hundred yuan that brought bad luck! Hurry up and transfer another two thousand yuan to your brother! No! Transfer twenty thousand! To bring him some good luck!"

The smile on Jiang Chen's face vanished instantly.

Good grief, when bad luck strikes, instead of reflecting on their own shortcomings or how they behave, they blame others.

Are you trying to extort money from me now?

Like mother, like son; this family's greedy faces are practically identical.

"Second Aunt, are you still half asleep?"

Jiang Chen's tone turned cold.

"What do I care if he's unlucky? He wants money? No way. I'd rather throw it in the water and make a splash than give it to you."

"You...you ungrateful wretch! Just you wait! I'll make you pay when you come back for the New Year!"

"Okay, I'll be waiting."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he hung up the phone and promptly added the number to his blacklist.

The whole world is quiet again.

Having resolved this minor incident, Jiang Chen's mood was not only not ruined, but he felt even more relaxed.

The system's "punishment mechanism" completely relieved him of any worries.

Anyone who dares to mess with me, anyone who dares to treat my family badly, just wait and see what happens!

He picked up his phone again and opened the chat window with his sister Jiang Ling.

He still has that voice message from yesterday saying, "I'll make a lot of money to repay you in the future."

Thinking of his younger sister, Jiang Chen's eyes softened again.

The bad luck aura is for dealing with enemies, while the rebate system is for arming your loved ones!

The books I bought yesterday are just the first step.

My younger sister is taking the college entrance exam next year, which is the most crucial battle of her life. We must equip her with the best gear!

Learning nowadays is no longer just about burying yourself in doing exercises.

Various online courses taught by renowned teachers, paid learning materials, electronic question banks... all of these require good equipment to support them.

My sister is still using an old phone that she discarded two years ago. The screen is small and it runs slowly; I bet it will lag even when watching a video.

No! It has to be replaced!

Jiang Chen made a decision in an instant.

He stood up, changed into a new outfit he had just bought yesterday, and went straight out to hail a taxi.

Destination—the Apple flagship store on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, Shanghai's most bustling pedestrian street!

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen stood in front of the high-tech glass building.

The store was packed with people, almost all of whom were young.

The air was filled with a unique smell that was a mixture of money and electronic products.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and strode inside.

Instead of wandering around and experiencing the products like other customers, he went straight to the iPhone display area.

"Hello sir, which mobile phone would you like to inquire about?"

A shop assistant wearing a blue T-shirt greeted us warmly.

Jiang Chen pointed to the one in the most conspicuous position.

"Do you have the latest iPhone 15 Pro Max, top-of-the-line model, with 1TB storage, in blue, in stock?"

His questions were direct and to the point, without a single unnecessary word.

The shop assistant was taken aback, clearly not expecting that this seemingly ordinary young man would have such a clear goal, and that he would ask for the top-of-the-line model right off the bat.

"Yes, sir! We have it in stock!"

The shop assistant's smile instantly became ten times more genuine.

"This phone uses the latest A17 Pro chip, which has very powerful performance, and the camera system is also..."

"No introduction needed."

Jiang Chen interrupted him.

"I didn't buy it for myself, it's for my younger sister. She's taking the college entrance exam and needs a phone that runs smoothly, has a large screen, and won't hurt her eyes to look up information or attend online classes."

Hearing this, the shop assistant's enthusiasm was tinged with even more admiration.

"You're such a great brother! This phone has a top-notch screen; the ProMotion technology adapts to the refresh rate, and it really helps relieve eye strain during long viewing sessions!"

"That's fine then."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Let's make the order."

He took out his bank card, ready to make the payment.

Price: 13999 yuan.

The moment Jiang Chen swiped his card to pay, his heart skipped a beat.

That's 14,000 yuan!

It was money he could only save by working himself to the bone for three months.

Now, he doesn't hesitate to give his sister a better learning tool.

[Ding! Payment successful!]

Almost at the same moment the POS machine printed out the receipt, that familiar voice came to my mind as expected!

【Ding! 】

[The host was detected to be a direct blood relative (sister), resulting in altruistic spending of 13999 yuan!]

[Consumer Behavior Analysis: To help his younger sister with her college entrance exam and improve her learning efficiency and experience, the host is purchasing the most valuable productivity tools currently available...]

[Rebates are being distributed...]

"Buzzing—"

My phone started vibrating violently!

Jiang Chen opened the message and saw a long string of numbers from the bank indicating a deposit, which made him gasp for breath!

Ninety-seven thousand nine hundred and ninety-three!

The account balance instantly skyrocketed from over 170,000 to 268,000!

Jiang Chen held his phone, looking at the small shopping receipt, feeling a surge of pride.

He was carrying shopping bags and preparing to leave.

But as soon as he reached the door, he stopped and looked back at the dazzling array of other products in the store.

wrong.

For my younger sister, who is about to face the sprint of the college entrance examination, a mobile phone is just the beginning.

The real "armor" goes far beyond this.

To completely change your destiny, you need to equip yourself with all the necessary gear at once!
