Chapter 71: Accident

After playing chess, Lee Minho still went down to the first floor, ready to wait for Kang Taehyun and the others.

It was the same sofa from yesterday, and in the same position, Lee Minho saw the chess board placed by the wall of the warehouse door again.

This time, the chess board was placed there, although it was a little far away.

But Lee Minho still vaguely saw the game of chess, which seemed to be the same as yesterday's game.

Even the black piece placed on the edge of the board is placed in the same position.

"What is this for? Why did it come back again."

'Could this chess board be used as a decoration?' Lee Minho thought.

Thinking of this, Lee Minho turned around a little guilty, as if he didn't see it.

After Kang Taehyun and the others went downstairs, Lee Minho immediately joined them.

Then, while walking out of the parking lot with them, he said to Kang Taehyun.

"Guess who is my opponent is today."

Kang Taehyun thought for a while, then smiled gloatingly and said.

"Could it be that kid named Bai Yan? Young Master Lee, you tortured that kid so badly?"

Lee Minho shook his head.

"No, it's your goddess, Ren Yena."

Kang Taehyun was taken aback for a moment, and then exaggeratedly shouted.

"How is this possible, my goddess is so busy, how could she come to participate in this kind of competition?"

"She said that she came to participate in this competition, as if she wanted to meet someone by chance."

Lee Minho then shrugged.

"It's a pity that she met me."

"Meet someone?"

Kang Taehyun looked struck by lightning.

"Could it be, the goddess already has someone she likes? The reason why she came to this competition is to meet that person?"

Lee Minho patted Kang Taehyun on the shoulder.

"It's not what you think, she should be here for work."

"Young Master Lee, how do you know?"

Kang Taehyun's eyes regained light, and he looked at Lee Minho expectantly.

"She said it herself."

Lee Minho replied truthfully.

Kang Taehyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said.

"It's okay, it's okay, since my goddess said so, it must be for work. It's just strange, who is it that deserves her so much effort?" Kang Taehyun muttered.

Looking at Kang Taehyun as if he had been silent in his own world, talking to himself naturally as if there was no one else around.

Lee Minho looked at Yoon Jungsu and Jung Jinso.

The two shrugged their shoulders in unison, expressing that they are no longer surprised by this situation.

They all knew that Kang Taehyun was fine in normal times.

Once encountering something about Ren Yena, it's like a different person.

During the whole meal, Kang Taehyun kept talking to himself as if no one else was around.

The three of Lee Minho pretended not to see it, and left after eating and drinking.

In order to find the chess player yesterday, Jiang Ruozhi sat in front of the surveillance all morning.

Many people walked to the chess board to watch, and there were also many people watching and discussing.

But no one moved that black chess piece.

Until the end of the game, all the contestants left the sports center building, and the black chess piece was still placed in its original place.

After having lunch with Kang Taehyun and the others, Lee Minho went back to the villa.

The task of beheading a hundred people was completed, and Lee Minho was thinking about how to use that Super Rebate Card.

Now that he has a deposit of 600 million dollars, he does not go to work from now on.

However, the 600 million dollars cannot give Lee Minho enough sense of security.

Of course, the more money, the better, but unfortunately, the system never released luck value missions to him again.

Otherwise, it might increase the rebate multiplier a lot.

In order to rebate, Lee Minho was going to spend all of the 600 million dollars.

However, there are not many places where 600 million dollars can be spent at once.

'Buy a house?'

Of the newly developed real estate in Kyoto, those within the captal have almost sold out.

Not to mention the real estate outside, some of the traffic is not very convenient.

Moreover, there is very little room for real estate appreciation now.

Buying a house now would be a bad idea, if it is used for investment, basically has no investment value, and may even lose money.

But if you buy it to live in, it is still possible.

However, Lee Minho already has a villa and a three-bedroom apartment.

What are you buying so many houses for?

'For rent?'

"That's right."

Lee Minho reacted in reverse.

He can buy a house and rent it out! Not only can you get rebates on the money you bought for a house, you can also rent it out and can also collect rent every month.

That way, he would have a regular source of incomne every month.

Although there is a lot of money for the systematic learning tasks, once the learning tasks are all completed.

Then the money will be gone.

He has to think about the future. Now that the economy is uncertain, many industries are not easy to do.

But by renting out the house, you can get a stable income.

This is very good.

It's just that the house to be rented out is also very particular.

Now the real estate in the main road of Kyoto is basically gone.

Houses outside are cheaper. But if it is not close to the subway station, it is inconvenient to get in and out, and it is very difficult to rent out.

Lee Minho then thought about buying a school since he was once an activist. He always do whatever comes to his mind.

He immediately picked up his mobile phone, ready to inquire about the newly developed school district.

But instead, he only saw a black screen on his phone.

Lee Minho patted the phone vigorously and tried to restart it. But still doesn't work.

There have been several black screens before, but restarting it will do the trick.

Like now, after a black screen, restarting is useless, which proves that the phone is broken.

He glanced at his mobile phone with some regret, it seemed that this mobile phone was about to be phased out.

He bought this mobile phone from a second hand mobile phone store for more than 600 dollars. In fact, the previous owner only used it for a few days.

It just so happened that Lee Minho was working part time at that second hand mobile phone store, so he had the chance to get the phone.

This mobile phone has been used for more than two years, and it is time to retire.

'Forget it, I'd better go buy a new mobile phone, um, with a bigger screen, so it's easier to play chess.'

Lee Minho rode his small e-bike to Golden Sun Plaza.

In addition to eating and drinking on Golden Sun Plaza, some shops outside also sell mobile phones, fruits and other things.

After Lee Minho parked the his car in the parking lot, he walked into a domestic brand mobile phone store.

As soon as Lee Minho walked in, the clerk greeted him warmly and politely asked if he needed introduction services.

After Lee Minho refused, the clerk stood aside in a measured manner without stepping forward to disturb him.

In these brand stores, they are very good at thinking about the hearts of customers.

Some customers don't like being followed, it feels like surveillance.

Therefore, the general shop assistants will come forward to ask if they need introduction services.

If necessary, the clerk will enthusiastically introduce their products to customers.

If they don't need it, they will stand at a certain distance that can clearly see the customer.

Be able to serve customers as soon as possible when they need them.

Lee Minho didn't have much research on these electronic products. Most men only researched mobile phones just to play games.

He also liked playing games before, but after the death of his adoptive parents. He seldom play games anymore.

Occasionally, when Kang Dongwon and the others were calling, they would form a team and play a game or two with them.

It's not that he don't like it anymore, but that he don't have time.

That time he is busy going to class every day and doing part-time jobs to make money.

He can't wait to use 24 hours every day as 42 hours. Where is the time to play games?

However, Lee Minho is a pretty good, he thinks it looks good, can be used, and the function is not much worse than other mobile phones.

Therefore, Lee Minho just directly chose a recently released new mobile phone with a good appearance.

The back of the phone is a gradient blue color, which is very nice.

The clerk was surprised to see which phone Lee Minho had chosen.

Not because of anything else, but because it's cheap.

Only 1,600 dollars.

After all, there are not many young people nowadays who use such cheap mobile phones.

Even the system couldn't help complaining.

{You have 600 million deposits, and you bought a mobile phone, but you actually bought that only worth more than a thousand? Host, are you too picky about yourself?}

Lee Minho said disapprovingly.

"I'm not. The mobile phone can be used to make calls, send messages, and surf the Internet."

He then added on.

"Although this mobile phone is cheap, it is also a brand! I rarely play games. I used to be like Kang Dongwon and the others."

"They pulled me to form a team to play. Now I don't play the game anymore, I'm all playing chess. The running and memory are enough."

After buying the mobile phone and tablet, Lee Minho was ready to go back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the mobile phone store, he saw a group of people diagonally opposite the door.

People love to join in the fun. So Lee Minho also leaned over curiously.

He saw a middle-aged woman dressed in rich clothes was grabbing the hair of a young girl in sexy clothes with one hand.

The middle-aged woman yelled while beating, beating the young girl.

The onlookers all pointed, some watched the excitement, and some gloated.

There were also those who saw that girl was pretty and wanted to go up to stop her, but didn't dare.

The girl who was beaten wanted to resist, but she was no match for the middle-aged woman.

Lee Minho has only seen this kind of drama of beating up mistresses in the street on the Internet.

'This is the first time I've seen it in reality.'

Lee Minho just took a look, then turned and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly took advantage of the middle-aged woman's unpreparedness.

She broke free from the middle-aged woman's grip, and then rushed towards Lee Minho.

Lee Minho didn't see this coming because his back was facing the girl.

The system shouted nervously in Lee Minho's mind.

{Host, be careful...!}

'What?'

Lee Minho hadn't reacted yet, but felt a huge thrust from behind, making his body threw forward uncontrollably.

Coincidentally, ahead of him is the road.

Lee Minho staggered and was about to hit the ground. He tried his best to changed his position in mid-air, making him fell sideways on the ground.

The mobile phone in his hand fell to the ground and fell out of the bag.

The car approaching in speed pulled it's brakes.

The tires rubbed against the concrete ground rapidly, making a screeching sound.

People around widened their eyes, and sorme covered their mouths.

He watched in shock as the black car exactly stopped less than 50 centimeters away from Lee Minho.

Lee Minho, who fell on the ground, was in a daze, his mind blank.

The system was so tense that it almost crashed.
