Chapter 005: The Way to Generate Wealth

Upon learning that he was not seriously injured, Jiang Shaoyou immediately proceeded to complete the discharge formalities. After settling the bill, the five thousand yuan deposit that Hu Dong later supplemented was reduced to only five hundred yuan.

Jiang Shaoyou chose a relatively clean small inn, and after some haggling with the landlady, he finally secured a room at a price nearly half of the usual rate.

Hu Dong accompanied Jiang Shaoyou to complete the discharge procedures. After leaving the hospital, he waved down a taxi and then said to Jiang Shaoyou: "Boss, where are you going now? If you want to stay at school, you'll need to reapply. It's been several days since the holiday started, and I don't know if you can still apply. How about you come stay at my place for now?"

Jiang Shaoyou quickly waved his hand upon hearing this and said, "No need... you have elders at home, it would be inconvenient for me to go. Hmm... you don't need to worry about it. I will first find a small hotel near the school to stay for a couple of days, and then see if I can find a short-term job that provides meals and accommodation. If that doesn't work out, I will just return to my hometown in a couple of days!"

However, gambling is also the most unreliable method. Gambling is illegal in the country, and even if Jiang Shaoyou can find an underground gambling den, he can at most use his ability to see through to win a few small amounts. Once the winnings are too high and touch the bottom line of the gambling den owner, it could lead to a tragic outcome, and it is entirely possible to be eliminated directly.

Near the university town of Shamen, there are many small inns converted from ordinary residential houses, specifically catering to college students in love who wish to explore each other's physical forms. Today's college students have very open-minded views; anyone who claims to be a virgin before graduating from university seems to be regarded as somewhat shameful. This has resulted in these small inns enjoying a thriving business.

How can one utilize this ability of clairvoyance to make money? Or is gambling the simplest method? In most forms of gambling, possessing the ability of clairvoyance equates to being in an invincible position, making it truly difficult to lose!

The room in the hotel is quite small, measuring approximately five to six square meters. Fortunately, the television is mounted on the wall; otherwise, if a TV cabinet were to be added, there would truly be no space to move around.

Although Jiang Shaoyou believed that he would soon be able to escape the fate of poverty through his own abilities, having grown accustomed to a life of hardship, he still wished to stretch every penny as far as possible before truly achieving prosperity

Perhaps the legendary practice of stone gambling is the most reliable and advantageous path to wealth, as it allows for the full expression of one's perceptive abilities. After all, stone gambling is different from regular gambling, where the winnings go to the house or the owner. In stone gambling, the owner sells raw stones, and if you can cut valuable jade from the raw stones purchased from them, it serves as a live advertisement for the owner. The owner will only be more pleased, and no matter how much you earn, it will not harm the owner's profits and interests.

On the morning of the second day, the bandage on Jiang Shaoyou's head was finally removed. After conducting several more examinations, the doctor discovered that both Jiang Shaoyou's brain and eyes had essentially returned to normal, which elicited a series of exclamations of wonder.

Unfortunately, there is no place here for gambling on jade stones, even if there were... The raw jade is not cheap; it is said that even a small piece can be worth hundreds of thousands or even millions. However, Jiang Shaoyou only has a few hundred yuan on him, so how can he gamble?

To know... on the day of Jiang Shaoyou's incident, examinations revealed that his eyes had actually suffered severe burns. Although the retina had not detached, the possibility of preserving his vision was very slim. However, due to the insufficient hospitalization deposit and the inability to contact Jiang Shaoyou's relatives, the doctors could only adopt a conservative treatment approach for his eyes. Unexpectedly, after several days of seemingly careless treatment, Jiang Shaoyou's eyes miraculously recovered!

Hu Dong also knew that having Jiang Shaoyou stay at his home was not very realistic, as it would create an awkward situation with the library. With no other choice, he could only nod and say, "Since it’s like this... then you take care, big brother! Here’s a thousand yuan for you to keep for now. My pocket money isn’t much either, but if you need anything, you must call me right away! If you need money, I will find a way to lend it to you."

Last night, due to matters concerning Zhou Rui, Jiang Shaoyou had a restless night. Now that he had settled down, a wave of fatigue suddenly washed over him. He immediately instructed the landlady to change the bedding in the room, and then he lay down at once.

However, it is currently the summer vacation period, and students are returning home one after another, causing these small inns to become quite deserted.

After lying down, he found himself unable to sleep. Reflecting on how this misfortune had turned into a blessing, he felt as if he had inexplicably gained the ability to see through things, akin to discovering a treasure out of thin air. However, no matter how astonishing or valuable this treasure might be, it is not cash on hand; it cannot be used immediately. Therefore, Jiang Shaoyou truly needs to ponder carefully on how to transform this ability of his into real wealth.

Jiang Shaoyou nodded in agreement upon hearing this, but he did not accept the one thousand yuan that Hu Dong offered. Although he was currently very poor, he believed that as long as he could make reasonable use of his ability to see through things, it should be quite easy to make some money. Therefore, Jiang Shaoyou simply kept the five hundred yuan deposit refunded by the hospital, planning to use this five hundred yuan to carve out a territory for himself in Shamen.

Some may say that with great power comes great responsibility, but Jiang Shaoyou, having unexpectedly gained superpowers, does not elevate his mindset to the level of serving all humanity. Having been poor since childhood, his first thought is how to use this ability to make money and become wealthy. In essence, it is about how to steal. He desires to glimpse the bodies of the goddesses he can only fantasize about, while the lofty matters of saving humanity and maintaining world peace are best left to those who have nothing better to do.
