Chapter 6

In the midst of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

Summer's perceptiveness was several times better than before. He noticed the disdain and ridicule in the eyes of the people present. He understood what they meant.

The clothes he wore were cheap, and in their eyes, he could not afford the phones here.

"I want to buy a phone with more features." Summer was about to graduate, and a phone with more features would be very useful.

"There are many phones with more features. I wonder what price range you are looking for? I can recommend one to you." The female saleswoman was very friendly, and her face always wore a sweet smile.

The saleswoman was an intern, still wearing a name tag. Since she came here, she had not made any sales, as anyone who came to buy a phone was always taken by others.

"I want a phone that costs around 5,800 yuan." Summer had just won 5,800 yuan and decided to use it to buy a good phone.

"5,800 yuan?" The female saleswoman was slightly taken aback. At first, she didn't think Summer would really buy a phone. She just wanted to practice her sales skills, but she didn't expect Summer to say he wanted a 5,800 yuan phone.

The other salespeople also heard the number Summer said and were stunned. Then an older female saleswoman, who seemed to change her expression instantly, smiled, but the thick layer of makeup and deep wrinkles betrayed her age.

"Student, let me introduce you to a phone. I guarantee you'll be satisfied." The older female saleswoman had a fawning smile. When she came to Summer, he could see the pockmarks on her face.

"Can you please step back? Your face is like Mount Everest, it scares me." Summer hated people like her. They looked down on him because of his cheap clothes, but now that he said he wanted to buy an expensive phone, they came forward.

"You, you actually dare to talk to me like that. Do you know who I am?" The old woman's temper flared. When had she ever been treated like this, and to be called Mount Everest?

The people around her already looked at Summer with pity. This woman was a bully in the area, not because she was powerful, but because of her lover, who was a well-known figure in the neighborhood, nicknamed "Biao Ge." It was said that he had killed someone and served ten years, and had only been out for two years.

The old woman was almost fifty but dressed like she was thirty, with a thick layer of makeup. No one dared to offend her. Whenever someone came to buy a phone, she would interfere and take a cut.

But today, this high school student dared to talk to her like that.

"Brat, you wait. I'll skin you alive." The old woman took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Master, 5,800 yuan is enough to buy an iPhone 5. You might as well buy one." Fire Pepper didn't even look at the old woman. In her eyes, the old woman wasn't worth her attention.

"iPhone 5?" Summer had heard of this phone. It was said that someone sold their kidney to buy it, hence the nickname "iPhone 5." "Alright, I'll take it. Miss, can you help me set it up? Here's the money. I'll go get my SIM card reactivated."

The intern saleswoman finally reacted and quickly took the money to set up the phone for Summer.

"Master, if you want a good phone, I can buy one for you. Just say the word, and I'll buy any phone for you as a token of my respect." Fire Pepper followed Summer.

"I don't take money from others." Summer glanced at Fire Pepper. "And I haven't decided to take you as a disciple yet."

"Master, what will it take for you to take me as a disciple?" Fire Pepper bounced around Summer.

"I'll teach you a couple of moves. When you learn them, we'll see. And I need to observe you." Summer had finished reactivating his SIM card. It was very simple, just showing his ID. The intern saleswoman had also brought the iPhone 5, and Summer put the SIM card in and tested it, finding it quite handy.

The iPhone 5 was much better in appearance and function than his old Nokia, which was mainly used for making calls, sending messages, and being durable.

After buying the phone, Summer was about to leave when two people appeared at the door. One of them was shirtless, with a dragon tattoo across his shoulders, a shaved head, small eyes, and a big belly like the Buddha.

"Biao Ge, you finally came. If you hadn't, I would have been toyed with by this little brat." The old woman clung to Biao Ge's arm, her chest rubbing against his arm.

"Damn, daring to toy with my woman. You must be tired of living." Biao Ge's voice was loud, and everyone around him looked at him.

Summer stopped and looked at the old woman.

"Who are you calling a little brat?" Summer hated it when someone insulted his parents. Although he had never met his mother, he knew she had a reason for leaving him.

"The little brat is you." The old woman realized what she said: "Biao Ge, look, this little beast is bullying me."

"Who are you calling a little beast?" Summer asked again.

"The little beast is you." The old woman stomped her feet: "Oh, Biao Ge, you have to stand up for me."

Biao Ge's face was cold, and his strong body moved towards Summer: "You dare to bully my woman? You're asking for death."

"Fire Pepper, I'll only do this once. Watch carefully, and then go back and practice on your own." Summer and Biao Ge were of different sizes, but Summer didn't back down and took a step forward.

At that moment, Biao Ge kicked at Summer. His strategy was to intimidate with his appearance, then use his voice to scare, and finally kick suddenly.

This strategy had never failed him.

When Biao Ge's kick reached Summer, some people couldn't bear to watch and looked away. But Summer moved, supporting with his right hand and kicking Biao Ge's left leg with his right foot.

Biao Ge's massive body was thrown behind, crashing into the door of the store.

"Master, you're amazing." Fire Pepper was excited.

"Biao Ge!!" The old woman rushed to Biao Ge.

"Damn, you even dared to fight back." Biao Ge struggled to stand up. The previous kick had left several bruises, but they weren't serious. Biao Ge knew he couldn't back down. He had no job and relied on the old woman for support. If he backed down, no one would give him money.

Summer's phone rang. The ringtone was "Big Apple," which the intern saleswoman had downloaded for him.

"Hello, Cousin."

"My phone was lost a while ago. This is a new one, and I just got my SIM card reactivated."

"Tonight? Do I have to go?"

"Alright, send me the address."

While Summer was on the phone, Biao Ge saw an opportunity and kicked at him again. Summer's shoulders collided with Biao Ge's left shoulder, and he kicked Biao Ge's left leg again, causing Biao Ge to lose balance and fly out, landing two meters away.

"Master, you're so cool." Fire Pepper was extremely excited.

"Alright, nothing much, see you tonight." Summer hung up and glanced at Biao Ge on the ground before leaving.

"Master, wait for me, wait for me." Fire Pepper followed him.

"Don't follow me. I already showed you those two moves. Go back and practice. If you keep following me, I'll never take you as a disciple." Summer warned. He himself didn't know much about martial arts; those two moves were something he had learned from Old Fan in the morning.

Fire Pepper had no choice but to leave after hearing Summer's words.

Summer took a taxi to the most famous antique street in Jianghai City. It was one of the most well-known places in the city, with many antiques and curios. It was also a place where people could find treasures. It was said that someone once bought an antique for less than 100 yuan and sold it for over a million.

Such things happened often, giving the place a mysterious aura and attracting more people who wanted to make a fortune.

Summer knew that most of the lucky people were just a marketing ploy by the shops to attract more customers, but he still wanted to go there. With his new ability to see through things, he wanted to see if he could find some real treasures.

Because of the people who wanted to get lucky, the street was always crowded. In this world, there were always people who dreamed of getting rich without working.

Summer came here because it was his cousin's birthday party tonight. He had forgotten about it until his cousin called and scolded him. So he decided to buy a good gift for her.

The main issue was that his cousin wanted him to pretend to be her boyfriend, which made him even more hesitant.
