In the year 2015, in Xinghen Country, Jiangzhen City.
It was the second day since Arthur Farlier came to this parallel world.
Although this is just the parallel world, the gap between this world and the world where he came from is not big. And the basic technology and historical processes are the same, as high as 99%.
There are only differences in some aspects.
The entire Jiangzhen City seemed to have become a giant stove.
The scorching heat of the sun creates an illusion that the asphalt on the road is melting.
On both sides of the road, the buzz of cicadas can be heard, adding a touch of irritation to the already hot and impatient pedestrians.
Arthur was blinking quickly as he was seated behind the cash register inside a simply decorated Western restaurant.
He had blinked his eyes for only a few minutes, and he could already feel soreness in his eyes. His eyes had become slightly red.
Despite the discomfort in his eyes, Arthur couldn't hide his shock.
You can really make money by just blinking your eyes?
It's amazing!
Rows of data appear in his mind.
Host: Arthur Farlier
Grade: LV1
LV1 privilege reward: Every time you blink, you will get 0.1 yuan.
Upgrade Experience: 0/10000 (Experience points can only be obtained through spending, not through loans or money earned!)
System shop: Not Open
Props: [LV1 Privilege Gift Package]*1
Skills: None
Amount: 23.3 yuan
...
The 23 yuan was actually the result of Arthur's quick blinking.
In every blink, 0.1 yuan is earned…
Arthur's brain computed rapidly.
A normal blink of an adult is about every three seconds. So, there are approximately 20 blinks per minute. Excluding the 8 hours of sleep, that should be about 19,200 times per day.
Rounded to 19,000 times and multiplied to 0.1 yuan each time!
In other words, Arthur can earn 1,900 yuan per day by just blinking his eyes 19,200 times!
That would be around 57 thousand yuan a month, or 684,000 yuan a year!
Uh…It doesn't seem to be that much.
To be honest, for an income of several hundred thousand a year, Arthur doesn't feel too complacent.
The restaurant he was in is owned by his family. Because of its strategic location, and several office buildings near it, there is a lot of traffic. Therefore, the daily earnings are very good. It's not too much in a year but still about hundreds of thousands.
In addition, father Farler is very generous to him. He provides him with enough pocket money during ordinary days and constantly gives him red envelopes during the holidays. Therefore, after calculating the income of the system throughout the year, Arthur is very happy but he is not that excited…
Of course, this is the only benefit brought by LV1.
As the level increases, the money earned in each blink also increases, but it is not known yet by how much.
System: "Do you want to raise the level to LV2 first?"
Spending or consumption will generate experience points, and it will cost him 10,000 yuan to upgrade to LV2. Arthur's private money is almost 100,000 yuan and there is no need to worry about the money to spend.
Just as he was contemplating whether to raise his level to LV2, the caring voice of his mother, Wang Hongmei, was suddenly heard.
"Son, why are your eyes red? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Yes, Arthur's father is from Britain and his mother is a native of China. As a product of these two, Arthur is a proper mixed-race boy. Growing up in this country since birth, Arthur also uses Chinese for daily communication.
He is just nineteen years old now.
His face is still a little immature, but I have to say that he is still very handsome at the moment.
The nose is straight, the sky-blue eyes are bright, coupled with his blond hair. These features truly set him apart from other native Chinese.
Anyone who reads it must say that Arthur is a handsome guy.
But Arthur frowned at this moment, because now he has very long hair, and the front hair almost covers his eyes.
It looks a little unorthodox.
Arthur frowned, feeling helpless in his heart. Just transmigrated, he haven't had time to change this hairstyle
Now is 2015, although it is not an era of non-mainstream, but at this time, affected by the anime culture, it is indeed a trend for boys to cover their eyes with hair.
As Arthur blinked his eyes, a few strands of hairs stick to his eyes, making him feel incessantly irritated.
At this time, David Farlier also walked out from the back kitchen, lit a cigarette, and asked: "What's wrong? Is Arthur not feeling well?"
"It's okay. My eyes are just itchy now. I rubbed it a few times." Arthur waved his hand and replied casually. Seeing Arthur Farlier smoking a cigarette, he couldn't help but say, "Dad, give me a cigarette!"
To be honest, although Arthur relatively has a strong accepting ability, he is just a student after all who had just finished the college entrance examination. He then suddenly obtained the system. He still couldn't calm down for a long time, so he planned to smoke a cigarette to calm himself down.
As soon as he asked, Wang Hongmei firmly objected: "No!"
"How old do you think you are to even think about smoking? Why don't you go directly outside? Arthur, I think you are learning bad habits. Do you want us to fight over this for several days and argue day and night? You're wasting all my efforts in taking care of you."
Listening to her mother's endless chatting, Arthur curled his lips indifferently and then turned to David Farlier.
David Farlier's character can be described in two words: Buddha man.
That's right, Buddha man! (Note: 'Buddha man' is an internet buzzword. The main meaning of this is to refer to someone who has no desires, no sadness or joy, having an absolute calmness and peace of mind. As for the further meaning, it means someone who pursues a peaceful and simple way of living, wanting to do most things independently and at your own rhythm.)
This kind of character of David had led to him adopting a more relaxed approach to Arthur's growth and education.
So long as you don't do bad things, and you don't break the law, you can do whatever you want to do.
It can be said that Arthur Farlier has also acquired such character from his father so he can keep his composure being faced with the money brought by the system.
Sure enough, his father did not disappoint Arthur.
After clearing his throat a few times, he took out a cigarette and handed it over to Arthur saying, "Little Arthur is an adult now, and he is about to go to university. It is not much of a big deal to smoke a cigarette. After all, he is still young. But you must keep in mind that smoking is bad for your health, so you should smoke less."
"Even though you know that smoking is bad for your health, you still do it every day!" Wang Hongmei snorted.
Obviously, women are very attentive to details.
David was immediately unhappy when he heard his wife's words. "What? I only have this hobby? No women, no gambling? Do you still want to take it?"
Seeing that her husband was going on again with his trump card, Wang Hongmei could only sigh and say: "David Farlier, you always say that to justify your wrongs."
With a cigarette in his mouth, Arthur looked at his parents' arguing at this time, which made him smile, having a feeling of warmth in his heart.
There isn't much pressure on himself. Although he is not a top-notch student, he had passed the college examination in a second-tier university. Although he comes from a not super-rich family, there aren't any issues with the finances. After graduating from college, he doesn't have to worry about his future.
And now, there is also that system which shall provide him money every day.
Influenced by David's Buddhist mentality, Arthur felt that it is enough that he be a winner in life quietly.
He will buy a couple of properties, pick a few fancy sports cars, travel leisurely. Besides, he also have to meet some boys, and have a fulfilling romance life.
Oh, by the way, yet to be introduced. Arthur is gay, a proper bottom!
But this bottom is simply a blank papers, without having experienced any relationships ... yet.
…
The restaurant is usually busy in the morning and evening, but not much in the afternoon.
After cleaning up the kitchen, David Farlier went to the neighboring store near them to brag as he smokes a cigarette in his mouth. Wang Hongmei occupies the cash register to count the earnings for the day.
Arthur pretended to be busy with his phone as he was looking at the system interface and was ready to open the privilege package.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for opening the [System Newbie Gift Package] and gaining 5 attributes points and 2 skills."
