It was a pity indeed.
In the living room, more than a dozen bags were scattered on the smooth ground.
Tang Hong hadn’t taken off any of the tags. He looked sad.
“I don’t need this belt either. Also, this coat is too old and too formal.”
“And what kind of underwear is this?”
“Just because it’s branded, it can be sold expensively? Have they no conscience?!”
Tang Hong stretched out the black underwear and positioned it on his waist to compare the size.
It doesn’t fit.
It’s too small.
He picked up another bag. “The scarf is for autumn, although it is discounted by 20%…”
It was pure cotton, but he couldn’t wear it for the time being. He was afraid he would overheat and die.
‘But.’
‘If l let these newly bought things become old and lose their value, it will be a huge waste. That’s unforgivable squandering. It does not meet the moral standards of college students in the new era at all.’
Tang Hong thought about it silently.
What should he do?
He could only use his secret weapon.
Taking out his phone, he entered the app store and downloaded the Fish app.
“Cheap sale!”
“Sales receipts and tags are all in tact!”
“77%, rock-bottom prices. Please don’t ask me why it is so cheap. They were given by a lapdog!”
Except for three short-sleeved shirts and two dark-colored jeans, Tang Hong posted them all.
On the product picture, he added two attractive tags and smiled with satisfaction.
[Gifts given by a lapdog.]
[23% discount, rock-bottom prices.]
The labels on the products were indeed a bit attractive, but that was all.
The items Tang Hong bought cost on average about 1,000 each. They were basically high-end brands that were not too well-known. Therefore, there was not much traffic and not many people searched for them.
They fell short of the best but were better than the worst. It was very awkward.
Until five minutes later.
Someone enquired, “50% off, free shipping, deal immediately.”
Tang Hong replied, “How about 20% off, free shipping?”
The man stopped responding.
Ten minutes later, someone who seemed interested intentionally asked, “It’s a bunch of refurbished goods, stop faking it. I don’t need an invoice or labels. Make it 700 dollars cheaper and I’ll deal immediately. Oh by the way, does that include postage?”
Seven hundred dollars cheaper…
Sell then to you for just ten over dollars and you still want free postage?
“Oh.”
“What kind of attitude is that? Be careful, I’ll report you. So does it include postage?”
“Dream on.”
“U imitation goods-selling piece of trash. Faker. Just wait…”
Tang Hong blacklisted him and sighed. It was a miserable thing to be a seller on this Fish app. He threw the phone aside and ignored it.
He called up the system interface again and stared at the individual value.
Mortal: Extremely small and weak creature.
Willpower: 69%
Strength: 41%
Realm: 0.00
Individual value: 35
He only managed to add one to his individual value at the shopping mall.
Tang Hong pinched his arm hard, smacked his forehead again, and suppressed his inner turmoil.
“Try to earn more.”
“One must be calm when handling major matters. I must not be anxious, I must take my time.”
He was mainly worried about this: In trying to go from 99% to 100% willpower, there may be a bottleneck.
The instant at which quantity becomes quality, as well as the process of point accumulation, were equally important.
It was best to succeed with one try.
Fang Nanxun and Fan Yu said the same thing. The success rate of actively breaking the limit of willpower was highest the first time.
Afterwards, there would be a shadow in your mind and there would be self-doubt. That would have an influence, so Tang Hong decided to give it all he had.
Usually, when he ate, he liked to leave the best for last.
The same went for breaking the willpower limit.
According to the plan: first increase by 15%, then another 15%. Adapt to the pain of greatly increased willpower and then eventually try to break through the limit of willpower with an increase of 20%.
“I’m still short of…”
“15 individual value points.”
Tang Hong closed his eyes. As he thought about it, he got sleepier.
The afternoon sun became hotter and hotter. The song of the summer cicadas made people feel lazy and not want to move.
Shopping was really tiring. Not only was it physically tiring, it was even more mentally so. He fell into a deep sleep. The screen of the phone that was thrown on the bedside suddenly lit up. After that, it lit up several more times.
After an afternoon nap, he got dressed and prepared to go for dinner.
Then.
Out of habit, he looked at his phone.
“Huh?”
Tang Hong blinked.
“Someone has placed an order!”
“I have an order!”
Order, order! Roar! Tang Hong grinned happily immediately.
Reducing losses and replenishing his funds were only secondary reasons. This was the first time that Tang Hong had sold a product in his life. At this moment, he felt strange. He didn’t know how to describe it.
It seemed like he had grown up overnight.
Especially since there weren’t many questions for all three orders. It made him feel warm to be trusted.
Having lived alone for a while, Tang Hong felt something called responsibility in his heart for the silent trust of strangers across the icy internet.
“I will send the items out now!”
Sitting on the edge of the sofa, Tang Hong looked at the order information of the three buyers. There was only one buyer’s order that needed to be shipped. The other two had proposed face-to-face transactions. He, of course, had no problem with that.
He sent a message to confirm the time and place.
As Tang Hong shifted himself, the fact that the sofa he was seated on was worth as much as half a million Hua dollars was always on his mind.
He had better not break it.
Having said that, Tang Hong was no longer as cautious as he was initially, as if treading on thin ice.
“Let’s go.”
Tang Hong went out. He walked to the nearest express delivery drop-off point, and sent out the belt first.
“We’re here.”
Tang Hong drove to a crowded cafe in a commercial plaza to wait for the second buyer.
Moments later.
A young man wearing gradient smart casual wear and bright black leather shoes, sat opposite Tang Hong. He looked Tang Hong over but did not say anything. Then, he picked up the bag and looked inside.
The receipt and tags were all inside.
The extremely new clothes startled the young man. Actually, he was very good at bargaining. As long as bargaining was allowed, he could cut the price by at least half.
However.
The clothes in the bag were still unopened and in their plastic bags. The young man glanced at the invoice time. His mind trembled, and countless thoughts turned in his mind—it turned out that they were just bought this morning.
The items had just been bought that morning and now they were being sold. What was the situation?
“Why?”
“You’re selling them immediately after buying them?”
The young man couldn’t help but ask.
Yes…
This was such a conscientious seller, he was embarrassed to bargain. He really couldn’t bear to do it.
“Eh?”
Tang Hong was typing a message with his head lowered. He had confirmed the meeting address with the third buyer. It was probably not far from an art college.
Tang Hong said, with his expression slightly lost.
“Did I not mark it on the Internet? Didn’t you see it? Those things were given by a lapdog. I don’t like it, so I don’t want to use them.
The young man: ???
The young man: (¬_¬) No way I will believe that.
“Uh.”
“Anyway, the goods are okay.” The young man confirmed the receipt of the goods on the spot and gave a five-star review. Then, he hesitated.
“Ahem.” The young man said, “Is it convenient to ask, the lapdog is a girl?”
Tang Hong was noncommittal, “Otherwise?”
“Amazing, amazing.”
The young man left with his head down. He didn’t believe Tang Hong’s words at all. How can a cute girl be a lapdog? It must be a man, it must be a man.
He muttered silently to himself repeatedly.
He got into his car.
First, he lit a cigarette. He had timed himself to leave the underground parking lot within fifteen minutes.
The next moment, his expression stiffened. The cigarette was slowly burning through.
He watched the conscientious seller who had spoken so highly of himself take out a key from his pocket, then stop by the luxurious sports car parked diagonally opposite.
Yellow!
Eye-catching!
The car was well deserving of its moniker: Lamp Factory. He felt his eyes ache as if blinded. He couldn’t help but shed a tear as if stung by smoke.
Quickly pinching his cigarette out, he shrank down and secretly watched Tang Hong. Tang Hong opened the car door, got in, started the car and slowly moved out of the parking lot. The roar of the engine resembling a beast’s low roar echoed in the ears of the young man. It did not dissipate for a long time.
“Sigh.”
The young man lit another cigarette and took a deep and melancholy puff.
What he smoked was not a cigarette.
It was confusion.
…
By the time Tang Hong arrived at the place agreed upon with the third seller, it was already getting dark.
The afterglow of the evening sun fell on the trees on the street. The golden light and the cool breeze made people feel refreshed, happy, and less bothered by the heat.
Tang Hong parked his car on the side road next to Yunhai Art University.
It was mentioned on the Internet that all the cars parked at the entrance of the art school were luxury cars. However, Tang Hong walked 500 meters and did not see any particularly expensive cars. Perhaps it was because it was neither Friday nor Saturday.
He thought to himself as he walked.
He reached the meeting place.
It was a bakery with huge floor-to-ceiling windows that made it look bright and spacious. A familiar hat came into Tang Hong’s view.
“That is…”
His heartbeat began to accelerate.
