CHAPTER 3: Money

Chu Fang was 25 years old and he had tan skin color and his height was around 5'9" with a good amount of muscles and he was not a big guy but he had a good body. He had a oval shaped face with curly hair and his hair looked bad because he did not maintain his hair regularly. He might look handsome if he maintained his body but he did not have the money and time to do that.

He grew up in a rural village and he came from a generation of farmers. He had one big brother so his brother succeeded the farms and Chu Fang was free to do whatever he wanted. So he decided to study in Magic City to get a rich city life but society beat up him and fate did not smile upon him.

" I have 14000 Yuan..... " Chu Fang opened his wechat pay and he didn't keep his money in his bank account because it was unnecessary. Everyone in China used Wechat pay so he always kept his money in Wechat pay.

" Sigh! I just got my paycheck and I am really broke. " Chu Fang muttered but he was 80% better than a lot of young men. The reason was very simple. It was because of his job. That was also part of the reasons he was not in hurry to get a full-time job. He worked at 24 market stores and his second job was 'the distribution of medicine pills ' which he could get some money from it. Not stealing the pills but he could get some pills and he sold them back. As long as Chu Fang met the target amount of selling the pills, the company didn't care so he always tried to make some amount of money for him. It was not a big amount of money but he could live with that. Chu Fang earned around 6000 Yuan from his two part-time jobs and sometimes the third one.

' It is too little. I need to buy one week or more amount of food and weapons. Some defense equipment and a lot of things. Fuck inflation. ' Chu Fang liked to swear everything but he swallowed his words and he could not help but to think another ways to gather up large amount of money.

' Do or die in the Apocalypse. So I only have one chance to bet my life. ' Chu Fang carefully thought and his head was not messy anymore, he started to see his situation.

He stood up and he opened up his safe to take out some valuable things. His mom gave him golden rings and a necklace before he was going to the big city. It was for him to use for the emergency situation.

" Let's do this. " Chu Fang was going to cry when he thought of his parents. His parents were very good to him as long as he didn't ask for money. His parents were farmers so they were not rich but they indeed had a good amount of wealth which they cultivated from generation to generation. Farms needed a large amount of money to invest and farmers would get a large amount of money in a harvest season but mostly it was in a circle.

" I can get 10k Yuan from these. " Chu Fang looked at his two golden rings and one golden necklace. The rings were 24k golden ugly rings and the gold weight was around 6g. The golden necklace had a stone and it was meant for a woman but it was still a precious jewelry.

Chu Fang was not going to sell his rings and necklace but he was going to deposit them. He knew a good place for them to deposit and he could set a goal for him to pick up them back.

" I can do this. I am strong. I am smart.... " Chu Fang motivated himself and he sat down on the table. He started to write the things he needed.

" I can get protection gears from a cosplay shop and the problem is weapon. " Chu Fang wrote the food he needed. Mostly, he wrote down energy drinks, water and ready-made meals.

" Spear .... "

" No... Spear is too big and I need a moderate amount of training to use it. " Chu Fang deleted that opinion.

" But it is the easiest weapon to use and I'm going to kill the zombie so it is the ideal weapon. The advantages are too big to ignore. " Chu Fang added spear in his weapon list again and his brain was walking 100%. After all, it was a life-changing or life-and-death situation.

" .... fuxk... Why didn't I think that? " Chu Fang slapped himself and he amazed of his brain sometimes.

He picked up his phone and called his family immediately. Immediately, his family picked up the phone.

[ What? Did you need money again? ] The voice of old-lady could be heard from the speaker of the phone.

[ No! Mom, I called you because I missed you.. ]

Chu Fang immediately talked sweet words.

[ Talk hurry, I'm busy. ] His mother's tone was impatient.

[Well, I'm going to be out for a few weeks you might not able to reach me for a month. ] Chu Fang said as he heard his mother's sigh.

[ Ok! Have a nice trip. Eat regularly and sleep. Don't do anything stupid. You're already old enough to make your own decisions so I will not say anything about your problems but you can rely on mom. ] Chu Fang's mom said in a warm tone and she raised her son very well so she believed her son would not do stupid things.

[ Don't worry mom, I will be fine. Can you take my ' Weapon License ' photos and send to my WeChat? ] Chu Fang had a smile on his face and he knew that ' Magic City ' changed him a lot of ways. He used to be a little bit naive but now he could see this world clearly. He missed the honesty of rural communities and he wondered if it would be great if he stayed in his tiny rural village.

[ Ok. Eat and sleep regularly. Call me when you come back and you don't need to pressure yourself. If things don't work out, return your home. At least, you don't need to worry about food and clothing. You might not have rich city life but it is not bad in here] His mom said in a calm tone and she did not ask any things.

[... Yes.. Mom... Don't worry. I will be ok. I am strong.... ] Chu Fang felt like he was going to cry but he held back his tears and he ended the call with a smile.

" Yes, I am strong and I will be ok. " Chu Fang silently muttered as he could feel fear and excitement from his upcoming opportunities.
