"About 300 a day. If it's the weekend, it'll be more," Li Dong said.
But of course, this was a 100% lie. How could he go to work?
This was just to find a suitable reason and excuse for him to have a source of income. It was impossible to do without money. Li Dong found that no matter how down and out the protagonist looked, he would still enjoy where he should.
He himself could not strictly adhere to the "poor" character setting. If he really only ordered a large portion of rice for every meal … it would be really boring.
Eastern Jupiter's annual financial revenue exceeded 10 trillion, and all of this money belonged to Li Dong. Taking out three to five hundred a day to meet his food needs … this was definitely extreme restraint and frugality.
"More than 300?"
"My dad's job for 20 years only earns seven or eight thousand a month, right?"
Denen Satoshi and Nishihara Kaori were both taken aback. Touki was so amazing. He could earn as much as an adult just by doing a part-time job for a high school student?
But a more curious question came.
"Touki, I'm sorry, but I also want to ask, what kind of part-time job do you do? I've worked in a restaurant before, and the hourly salary is usually only ten dollars. The hourly salary of other part-time jobs is not high. What do you do, Touki? "
Nishihara Kaori asked with her head lowered. She knew that this question was a little abrupt and rude, but she could not help but be curious.
If she could do the kind of part-time job that Touki did, she also wanted to give it a try.
"Uh, I don't know how to say this. In short, my part-time job is not suitable for you girls. It consumes a lot of physical strength, and I'm barely holding on."
Li Dong scratched his head, unwilling to reveal more information.
"Kaori, don't ask too much. That's too rude," Denen Satoshi reminded him.
"I'm sorry, Touki."
Nishihara Kaori bowed in apology. But according to the information revealed by Li Dong, when she heard the keyword "consumes a lot of physical strength," she roughly concluded that it should be a job like "porter." Although it was hard, the pay was good.
When she thought of Touki, who was only in his teens, but had already borne everything of an adult, she could not help but feel a little sympathetic and sad.
Looking at the dishes on the table in front of her, the image of Touki struggling to move the dishes appeared in her mind, and she could not bear to eat.
"Let's eat."
Li Dong called out to the two of them and said, "Satoshi, Nishihara, both of you eat. If you don't, the food will get cold. I can't finish so much by myself. I said I'll treat, so don't stand on ceremony with me."
In order to dispel their worries, he added, "Next time, if you want to return the favor, just bring a bigger bento."
These words made the two girls blush, and they had no choice but to pick up their chopsticks.
…
2, Class F.
"What?"
"Touki is at the school cafeteria again today. He ordered a table full of dishes. It's even more sumptuous than yesterday. He spent at least 500 yuan."
The chopsticks in Shangguan Feifei's hand almost fell to the ground. Looking at the lunchbox in front of her, she was stunned. After all, she didn't go to the school cafeteria every day, and she would occasionally bring her own lunchbox.
Touki, on the other hand, had already flaunted his wealth twice.
"Liar, liar!"
Shangguan Feifei muttered to herself, "You keep saying that you're poor. Originally, you only went to the school cafeteria once every six months to a year, but you went twice in a row and spent three months' worth of living expenses. Hahaha. Touki, dear Young Master of the Protoss, are you coming to this school to choose your Gray Princess? And are you eyeing the beautiful, energetic, and kind me? Forget it, I'll give you a chance to pursue me. "
Of course, the premise was that he was really a Protoss.
"Feifei, Feifei."
Ishinaka Satomi's voice sounded in her ear. "You're drooling, and …"
As a close friend, Ishinaka Satomi seemed to know what she was thinking, and analyzed, "Just two high-end consumer activities doesn't mean that Touki is rich. It just means that he's not as poor as we think, and it doesn't prove that he's a Protoss. We still have to observe him before making a conclusion."
"Well, that makes sense."
Taking out a handkerchief and wiping the corners of her mouth, Shangguan Feifei had to admit that Ishinaka Satomi's words made sense.
They had to continue observing.
…
"Oh, I'm so full today."
"Touki, I still have to treat you next time, but I think it's better to go outside the school. It's not expensive, and the taste is very good," Denen Satomi said.
"Sure."
Li Dong nodded.
The three of them chatted all the way back to the classroom, attracting the attention of many students.
…
After the first class in the afternoon.
Denen Satomi and Nishihara Kaori were dragged out by Shangguan Huihui. At the end of the corridor, she asked them a few questions about the meal they had at noon.
"It cost a total of 570 dollars.
Touki earned the money by working. He said that he could earn more than 300 dollars a day, and even more on the weekends … Touki is a very good money-maker.
But he's also a very good spender. Every meal is so extravagant. How much money can he save every month? "
Denen Satomi, who had always been frugal from a family, was used to being meticulous. She found that if he spent about 10 dollars per meal, Touki would save at least 7,000 dollars per month, which was a very impressive number.
Moreover, Touki was only at the high school level, and he was already so good at making money. After he graduated, his income would probably be even higher, and he might even be able to enter the middle class and live a pretty good life.
At the thought of this …
Denen Satomi's face could not help but blush. She unconsciously put herself in the role of a "housewife."
In fact, this was normal. A man of 1.8 meters, handsome, a basketball expert, considerate and gentle, and very good at working to earn money. Such a man was definitely a high-quality property, and it was easy to make people feel at ease.
He gradually overlapped with the ideal partner in Denen Satomi's heart. Then she shyly lowered her head and played with her fingers.
"Part-time job?
Earning more than 300 dollars a day? "
What kind of good job could earn so much?
Questions popped up in her mind again. Shangguan Feifei was dubious. The purchasing power of 300 dollars was very high. Even in formal jobs, there were not many positions with an average daily salary of more than 300 dollars. Touki was a high school student. How did he do it?
Mystery.
This was another mystery that needed to be solved.
"Hey, Satomi, why is your face red?" Shangguan Feifei noticed the abnormality at a glance.
"No, nothing."
Denen Satomi shook her head and said, "But I think Touki should be an ordinary person. The world of the Protoss and the nobles is different. Touki is very ordinary in all aspects. Feifei … we don't need to pay too much attention to Touki."
Denen Satomi did not know why she was saying this, but she still made a suggestion.
"Oh …"
Shangguan Feifei glanced at her, and the corners of her mouth curled up. "Satomi, are you moved so quickly? It seems that you are easily satisfied. But don't have any ideas about him for the time being. Before I peel off all his secrets, no one is allowed to snatch my toy. "
"Do you understand?"
She emphasized her tone, and a cold light flashed in the corner of her eyes.
"Feifei, you misunderstand. I never meant that." Denen Satomi waved her hands in a panic and lowered her head.
"Hmph …"
Shangguan Feifei crossed her arms and proudly returned to the classroom.
…
The basketball club.
Li Dong came here and submitted an application to join the basketball club.
Morido Superhuman.
The president of the basketball club, a 1.9-meter-tall man with explosive muscles all over his body, was a very oppressive figure.
"Touki Ryu, what a strange surname. You want to join my basketball club?"
Morido Superhuman looked at him expressionlessly.
Li Dong nodded and said, "Yes, I like basketball very much. I think I am very suitable to join the basketball club. I hope the president will agree to let me join."
"The basketball club is not something you can join just because you want to. We don't recruit amateur-level players. The court is limited, so we only recruit those who are strong."
"Don't worry, my strength is not worse than anyone's." Li Dong looked confident.
"Arrogant!"
Morido Superhuman snorted. "Basketball is a team sport. Your attitude is not suitable for basketball. Go back."
"Ah?"
Li Dong was taken aback. "President, I haven't even shown my strength, and you're already rejecting me?"
"There's no need to show. I won't agree even if you are a basketball genius." Morido Superhuman turned and walked into the locker room.
F * ck.
He had met someone who was not easy to deal with.
His plan to join the basketball club was ruined just like that?
Could he bully the younger generation unscrupulously just because he occupied the position of the basketball club president?
Li Dong's heart was filled with rage.
At this time.
Three somewhat familiar figures walked over: Shintora, Zuoqiu Akagi, and Mio Takao.
At a glance, they saw Li Dong standing at the door with the application form in his hand.
"Touki Ryu?"
"This guy is actually here?"
"What is he standing there for?"
The three of them broke out in cold sweat, but they still carefully walked past Li Dong and read the contents of the application form.
"So it's an application to join the basketball club."
"That guy also wants to join the basketball club."
"Hey, the president is in the locker room. That guy is waiting for the president."
The three of them looked at each other and then nodded at each other. They had a plan in mind.
After changing, the president of the basketball club, Morido Superhuman, came out in a blue basketball uniform with a towel around his neck.
Shintora and the others approached him.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you go in and change your uniform? "Morido Superhuman glared at them.
"President, don't let the person at the door enter the basketball club."
"President, the guy at the door is a bastard. He will destroy everything in the basketball club."
"Yes, President, no matter what, we can't agree to his application to join the club."
The three of them said one after another.
"What are you talking about?"
Morido Superhuman's eyes were cold. He really could not understand what these three bastards meant.
Shintora and the others were shocked by his ferocious expression and immediately began to speak incoherently.
"President, the guy at the door is like you, a terrible monster!"
"We played a game with him last time, three of us against one, but we lost 2: 8. The three of us together were no match for him."
"President, once he enters the basketball club, not to mention us, even your limelight, your reputation, your dignity, and your pride will be taken away by him! President, we can't let that person enter the basketball club! "
The three of them tried their best to describe the horror of Li Dong.
"What?"
Morido Superhuman clenched his fist, his breathing became heavy, and his eyes seemed to be on fire.
He pushed the three of them away and walked straight in the direction of the door.
At this time, Li Dong also walked in, his face expressionless, facing Morido Superhuman.
Until the two faces were almost touching.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and there seemed to be lightning and thunder around the two of them.
Shintora and the others were overjoyed. Hehe, he angered the president known as the "human tiger." That kid will not live.
"Ten balls."
But they heard Li Dong say, "Let's go to the court and compete ten balls. If I win, I will be allowed to enter the basketball club. If I lose, I will let you beat me up. How about that?"
Morido Superhuman stretched out his hand and raised it high.
"Yo ~ That kid is going to get beaten up." Shintora looked expectant. The show was about to start.
"Bang ~"
Morido Superhuman slapped his hand into the basketball basket next to him, took out a basketball, sucked it in his hand, and said, "Let's go to the court."
"Pfft ~"
Shintora and the other two almost fell.
…
Outdoor basketball court.
Two tall figures were fighting over a basketball, engaging in a fierce 1v1 basketball competition.
"Bang ~" The close collision was like two armors fighting.
"Boom!" This was the sound of a violent slam dunk.
"Bang ~"
A violent hot pot fell from the sky.
"Bang!" One of the figures fell heavily to the ground.
"Boom!" The last slam dunk sounded.
"Ah ~ Ah!!" A few girls standing next to the court screamed.
In the end, the score of this 1v1 individual basketball game was fixed at 3: 7.
After the dunk, Li Dong walked up to Morido Superhuman who was still lying on the ground, stretched out his hand, and said, "President Morido, am I qualified to join the basketball club?"
"Haha ~"
"Hahaha ~"
Morido Superhuman, who was lying on the ground, suddenly laughed heartily.
"There's hope. This year's Shengjing City High School Basketball League Championship, hahaha, there's hope!"
Morido Superhuman got up by himself, patted the dust off his back, and stretched out his hand to Li Dong. "Welcome to the basketball club, Monster."
"Thank you, President."
Li Dong shook his hand with a smile on his face.
He had successfully joined the basketball club!
…
"Damn it!"
"That bastard succeeded again!"
"I didn't expect the president to agree to let such a person join the basketball club. For the sake of the city basketball league championship, he doesn't even care about the risk of being usurped by a newcomer?"
"Uh, the president is graduating this semester. Now the championship is the only thing he wants, even if he has to cooperate with the devil," Takao Mitsuki said.
Everyone could see President Morido's dedication to the championship, so it was reasonable for him to make such a move.
"We must stop that bastard!"
Shintora looked indignant. "That guy has only been in school for a few days, and he has already stolen the girls' attention, the chance to play as a substitute in the basketball game, and everything we have!"
"If I don't teach that kid a lesson, I won't be able to take it lying down."
"How do we teach him a lesson?"
The yellow-haired Zuoqiu Akagi asked. "We've seen his strength. Our bones can't be harder than that brick."
"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with him!"
Shintora sneered and said, "That kid has been eating high-class cuisine recently, and his lunch expenses every day are no less than 300 dollars. Where did he get that money, and what did he do to earn it? The girls don't know, but I do! Haha, Touki, I know your secret! "
"Hey, Brother Ryo, what is Touki's secret?"
Zuoqiu Akagi and Takao Mitsuki were both interested.
