Chapter 201: Mutant Hairy Walnut Tree, Bitcoin Private Key, Fixed Teleportation Location!
Today’s Intelligence 01:
While you were passing through the B State Service Area by car yesterday, you obtained relevant intelligence—
There is a mutant hairy walnut tree in the northwest corner of the B State Service Area.
The nuts from this walnut tree are of excellent quality, producing over 200 nuts when mature.
Annual output value is approximately 600,000!
Recommended purchase!
Note: This walnut tree will be cut down by the service area’s landscaping department around 11 AM tomorrow.
…
“A mutant hairy walnut tree? An annual output value of 600,000!”
Upon seeing the first piece of intelligence refreshed today.
Jiang Tao excitedly sat up from his bed.
Although he knew nothing about walnut collectibles.
But since System Brother said its annual output value was about 600,000, it must be worth the price!
“Could it be the tree my dad and Xu Li’s dad were talking about when we were smoking yesterday?”
Jiang Tao’s mind suddenly recalled the hairy walnut tree they saw when passing through the B State Service Area yesterday.
While they were chatting at the time, Xu Li’s dad also mentioned a funny story about their General Manager playing with walnuts.
“If System Brother hadn’t reminded me, it would be too much of a pity for such a money tree to be cut down tomorrow.”
“I’ll wake up early tomorrow and go take a look at the situation.”
“Since it’s going to be cut down, I imagine it will be easy to buy.”
Jiang Tao pondered buying the tree tomorrow.
With a thought, he continued to browse the next piece of intelligence.
Today’s Intelligence 02:
While you were passing through the B State Service Area by car yesterday, you obtained relevant intelligence—
There is a zombie car that has been parked in the B State Service Area for 3 years.
In the spare tire compartment of the car’s trunk is a hard drive containing the keys to 2 Bitcoin worth over 1.5 million.
Note 1: The owner of this car has passed away and has no relatives or friends. The 2 Bitcoin are currently ownerless.
Note 2: A gentleman cherishes wealth and obtains it righteously. As it is the Qingming Festival, why not send a bouquet of flowers to the deceased car owner to express your gratitude.
…
“…”
Although the value of the second piece of intelligence was over 1.5 million.
Jiang Tao’s mood was somewhat heavy after seeing the specific content of the intelligence.
The identity of the owner of these 2 Bitcoin was somewhat sigh-inducing.
“A pitiable person indeed.”
“I hope you can be reborn into a happy and fulfilling family in your next life.”
After sighing, Jiang Tao naturally wouldn’t let these 2 Bitcoin go.
Moreover, since it was also within the B State Service Area, it was conveniently on the way.
After reading the second piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao’s mind moved, and he continued to refresh the next one.
Which was also the last one for today.
Today’s Intelligence 03:
While you were passing through the B State Service Area by car yesterday, you obtained relevant intelligence—
Every Saturday morning at 7:07:07 AM, a large truck passes through the B State Service Area.
By chance or by being hit by the large truck, you can randomly travel to a new world.
…
“Whoa! The B State Service Area again!”
“This is…”
“Is this a fixed crossover point this time?”
Seeing the last piece of intelligence refreshed, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
This intelligence seemed useless to him.
He now lived a happy life, was in love with his wife, and had a successful career.
How could he be so out of his mind as to go to the entrance of the B State Service Area to try his luck!
“More useless knowledge gained!”
“Sleep, sleep, I’ll head to the B State Service Area tomorrow morning!”
“That tree is quite large too, I’ll need to drive a truck to haul it back.”
Jiang Tao pondered to himself.
He casually activated Sleep Mode and began to sleep.
The night passed without incident.
At 6 AM the next morning, as the sky was just beginning to brighten, Jiang Tao and Xu Li got up together.
They entered the bathroom together to brush their teeth and wash their faces.
“Honey, why are you up so early today? It’s not like you.”
Xu Li, while brushing her teeth, smiled sweetly as she looked at Jiang Tao washing his face.
For some reason, Xu Li felt her husband was becoming more handsome and charming lately.
With the rapid increase in his physique, even with a lax approach to exercise.
Jiang Tao’s physique had changed significantly compared to before.
The fat on his stomach had completely disappeared.
It had been replaced by eight distinct abdominal muscles.
His face had also become more angular.
Of course, the most significant change was Jiang Tao’s aura.
Compared to his previous image as a bitter, burdened individual constantly worried about money.
The current Jiang Tao was full of confidence and vitality.
He now gave people the impression of being as energetic as the sun rising in the morning.
Whether it was outsiders or his own family, everyone could feel the immense changes in Jiang Tao over the past few months.
Xu Li, as his wife, naturally felt this the most strongly.
“I have something to attend to this morning.”
“If I’m not back by noon, eat without me.”
Jiang Tao said to Xu Li as he wiped his face after washing it.
Xu Li asked curiously, “What is it?”
“A friend from B State messaged me yesterday saying they have an old item they want to sell, and I’m going to check its condition.”
Jiang Tao currently had a visible identity as an “antiques dealer.”
His daily trips to Panjiayuan and some of his income came from this identity.
Xu Li said with concern, “It’s a holiday, there will be a lot of cars and people, be careful on the road. Why don’t I go with you?”
“No need, you stay home with Xiao Xue. I’ll be back soon, it’s not far.”
“I’ll go see if Shijie and Shaojie are around later and bring them along for company.”
“Alright, then be careful on the road and drive slowly.”
Seeing that Jiang Tao had his own plans, Xu Li didn’t insist on accompanying him.
Jiang Tao had just finished washing up when the roar of a car engine was heard from outside.
“That’s probably Zhiyuan. I’ll go see.”
Jiang Tao said to Xu Li, walked across the yard to the gate, and opened it.
As expected, Liu Zhiyuan had parked his truck in front of Jiang Tao’s house and jumped out of the car.
“Brother Jiang! Whoa, I haven’t seen you in a month, and you’re looking more like a big boss!”
As soon as Liu Zhiyuan got out of the car, he saw Jiang Tao opening the door and his eyes lit up. He then flattered Jiang Tao.
“What big boss? I’m just a self-employed individual at best.”
Jiang Tao smiled and stepped forward, patting Liu Zhiyuan on the shoulder. He said with a smile:
“But you, kid, have been living too comfortably at home lately, haven’t you gained about twenty pounds!”
“Big head and thick neck, you look more like a big boss than I do.”
“Hahaha, Brother Jiang, don’t tease me!”
“I’m just trying to make a living by following you. I’ll always be your loyal subordinate.”
Liu Zhiyuan sheepishly chuckled and rubbed his head.
He had now firmly latched onto Jiang Tao’s golden thigh.
Before the New Year, he had earned over a hundred thousand by selling satsuma mandarins with Jiang Tao.
After the New Year, he had earned another hundred thousand by selling cattle with Jiang Tao.
In just over two months, he had earned nearly 300,000!
Liu Zhiyuan now felt closer to Jiang Tao than his own father.
Of course, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but only a little.
“Tonight, let’s gather at the White Magnolia Hotel, and we can distribute the money from the cattle farm.”
Hearing Jiang Tao mention distributing money, Liu Zhiyuan’s smile widened!
“Alright, Brother Jiang!”
Jiang Tao said, “I have some business to attend to this morning, so I won’t invite you to my place.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Brother Jiang, you go take care of your business. My cousin is following behind on his electric scooter, he should be here soon.”
“It’s early in the morning, Sister-in-law and Xiao Xue are probably still asleep. I won’t disturb their sleep by going in.”
As soon as Liu Zhiyuan finished speaking, a tall, thin young man in his early twenties, riding a Yadea electric scooter, turned into the alley.
The young man stopped his scooter next to Liu Zhiyuan and greeted Jiang Tao nervously.
“Hello, Brother Jiang.”
Hao Zhiming looked at Jiang Tao with a mixture of respect and admiration.
This Brother Jiang was truly a capable person!
His cousin had made over a hundred thousand yuan with Brother Jiang in just over a month after the New Year.
This had become a topic of much discussion within the family.
In previous years, no one would even bother introducing potential partners to his cousin.
Even if acquaintances introduced someone, those women would look down on his cousin, and it would always end in failure.
This year, however, the situation was completely different!
When everyone heard that his cousin was working with a big boss and earning two to three hundred thousand in a few months.
A bunch of friends and relatives started scrambling to introduce potential partners to his cousin.
Moreover, the girls who went on blind dates with his cousin were no longer arrogant after hearing about his income.
His cousin had achieved a glorious comeback in his dating life.
Hao Zhiming naturally envied him from the bottom of his heart.
The three brothers in his family were still unmarried.
Without the help of benefactors, relying solely on their own efforts, the difficulty of finding a spouse in the future would be absolutely hellish.
“Brother Jiang, this is my cousin, Hao Zhiming.”
Liu Zhiyuan introduced his cousin to Jiang Tao with a smile.
“Thank you for your trouble today, Zhiming.”
As Jiang Tao smiled and greeted Hao Zhiming, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered one to each of the two men.
“Brother Jiang, you’re too kind. This is a small matter, no trouble at all.”
“Hehe, Brother Jiang, my cousin is not an outsider, you don’t need to be so formal.”
Hao Zhiming and Liu Zhiyuan, while talking to Jiang Tao, received the cigarettes with both hands, showing immense respect.
As Jiang Tao offered them cigarettes, he activated the Bole title to check Hao Zhiming’s talent.
Name: Hao Zhiming
Talent: Sports Ace!
Career Path: Marathon Runner, Five-star; Courier, Two-and-a-half-star.
“Oh, he’s actually quite talented!”
Seeing Hao Zhiming’s talent and career path, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up. He felt like he had found a treasure.
If this kid is cultivated properly, he’ll definitely be a talent in the future!
I could consider signing him to an MCN company for cultivation.
Ding! Congratulations on discovering a promising individual with the Bole title, triggering a special mission: Promising Individual!
Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in Jiang Tao’s mind.
The next second, a sapphire system interface popped up automatically.
It displayed a notification:
Task Name: Promising Individual
Task Content: Cultivate Hao Zhiming into an excellent marathon runner and achieve National Athlete status.
Task Reward: 3.88 million cash, 8 Physique points, 7 Charm points, 6 Health points.
Do you accept this mission? Yes or No?
【 Do you accept this task? Yes or No? 】
“Yes, yes, yes!”
After clearly understanding the task’s name and content, Jiang Tao accepted the task without any hesitation!
He decided to accept it first, regardless of whether he could complete it.
Anyway, even if he couldn’t complete it, the worst he would lose was some salary.
If he could complete the task, the reward would be quite generous.
As for the difficulty of this task…
For ordinary people, it would absolutely be something as difficult as reaching the heavens.
Currently, in the sport of marathon, the standard to reach National Athlete status requires a result of ≤ 2 hours 19 minutes 20 seconds.
For amateur runners, finishing within 3 hours is considered excellent.
2 hours and 19 minutes can be said to be the ceiling for amateur runners!
Even “Da Zheng,” who is at the ceiling level for amateur runners and a top internet celebrity.
Doesn’t dare to guarantee that he can always run within 2 hours and 19 minutes.
Therefore, the difficulty of this task is not small.
But since System Brother showed that Hao Zhiming has talent in this area and is suitable for running.
He will definitely perform well in running.
With a thought to accept the task, Jiang Tao looked at Hao Zhiming’s slender, long legs and smiled:
“Zhiming, your physique is quite good, with these long legs, it would be a shame not to run.”
“Haha, Zhiming, your physique is indeed not bad. If I had your physique, I wouldn’t need anyone to set me up on blind dates.”
“Girls who would chase me would line up from our Liu Family Village all the way to the county town.”
Liu Zhiyuan said, as he walked over to Hao Zhiming and made a comparison.
The two brothers standing together instantly amused Jiang Tao.
Liu Zhiyuan is about 1.68 meters tall and probably weighs around 170-180 jin.
He looks plump all over, like Taiyi Zhenren, the master of Nezha.
Hao Zhiming’s height is similar to Jiang Tao’s, around 1.82 meters.
His physique is even thinner than Jiang Tao’s, with thin arms, thin legs, and a thin face, looking like Shen Gongbao from Nezha.
As Jiang Tao said, with this build, it would be a shame not to run.
“I ran for three years on the sports team in high school, but after graduating and starting work, I didn’t have time to run.”
Hao Zhiming scratched his head, a little embarrassed by Jiang Tao’s praise, with the youthful shyness of a young man in his smile.
Jiang Tao looked at Hao Zhiming and suddenly asked seriously:
“Zhiming, I have a question for you, answer me truthfully.”
Seeing the serious expression on Jiang Tao’s face, Hao Zhiming suddenly became a little nervous and said:
“Brother Jiang, please ask.”
Jiang Tao asked with a serious expression: “Do you like running?”
“Ah? I…”
Upon hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Hao Zhiming recalled his three years of high school, sweating on the track of his alma mater.
He wasn’t good at studying, and his academic performance was a mess.
But he had an unparalleled love for running.
He trained through the coldest winter and hottest summer, enduring all conditions.
Back when he was on the school sports team, he was known as a “running fanatic”; he would feel uncomfortable if he didn’t run for a day.
People who don’t run can never truly understand the joy that running brings.
However, after graduating from high school, due to family conditions, Hao Zhiming did not continue to attend university.
Through an introduction from a fellow villager, he started working at a factory in Ping County.
He worked a rotating day and night shift, with over 12 hours of work per day.
Every day, apart from work, the remaining time was for eating and sleeping.
Where would he have the time to run?
But…
If you were to ask what Hao Zhiming liked to do most, it was definitely running, no question!
“I like running!”
Hao Zhiming pondered for a few seconds, looked at Jiang Tao with a firm gaze, and gave his answer with great certainty.
Jiang Tao smiled and asked, “I have a job here that allows you to earn money just by running and exercising every day. Are you interested?”
