65, there’s quite a bit of information this time! (3 updates)_1

The couple occasionally exchanged a few words as they worked until about 11 p.m. before they finally entered the bedroom together and lay down on the bed.

“Honey, I’ve calculated the cost of the renovation, and it should be around 40,000 yuan. We don’t need to make it too fancy. Additionally, with the equipment deposit and all that, investing another 100,000 yuan at most should be sufficient to get the store up and running,” Xiaoxiao said.

Li Jinwen pointed to the lines of notes in his notebook and reported his findings to Lin Mo, then asked, “How about you, honey? Are you planning to buy futures in ginger?”

Lin Mo nodded, “Mhm, I plan to buy some futures to get familiar with them, but the main focus will still be the physical market. I’m going to check out the wholesale market in a bit.”

“Ah? You’re going that soon?” Li Jinwen expressed her concern, “Won’t you be too tired? It’s already 11 p.m., why not go to the wholesale market the day after tomorrow instead? Get a good night’s sleep and don’t wear yourself out!”

Tired?

Indeed, a little.

But this kind of tired was completely different from the past.

Ever since he got the Intelligence System, Lin Mo felt like he was cheating at a video game, finding any hardship worthwhile, or rather, he enjoyed it.

Because as long as you work hard, you’ll definitely get intelligence!

Xiangzi always thought he didn’t work hard enough, which is why he never got to own his own car!

Out of the 7 billion people in the world, who knows how many can’t even find a way to strive, especially those living in war-torn countries, trapped behind tall walls, living in environments where they could lose their lives at any moment.

Being rewarded for hard work is a luxury at any time!

Compared to 99.99999% of the people in the world, possessing the Intelligence System, I already stand at a very advantageous starting point.

“Tired? What tired? This is nothing compared to carrying bricks in the past. I’m living like a god now!” Lin Mo leaned against the headboard, slowly closed his eyes, and whispered with a smile, “Honey, once we buy a house, then I can really rest.”

“By then, if we have money, we can also get an RV and travel all over the country, especially staying for a while in the sacred places you love so much!”

Making money itself is for a better life.

Otherwise, what’s the point of making money?

“Mhm, mhm, we’ll have that one day! Now, honey, you should sleep for a bit. You can just drive tonight. I’ll ride the bicycle to take Lin Xiaoxiao tomorrow,” Li Jinwen said.

Li Jinwen didn’t try to persuade Lin Mo any further.

She knew that Lin Mo was on a roll, and convincing him otherwise would be futile.

Better to support him wholeheartedly!

“Okay, I’m just going to check out the market anyway; I should be back soon.”

After running around all day, Lin Mo really felt sleepy, mostly because he barely had any time yesterday.

For the first time in a long while, he fell asleep without waiting for the Intelligence System to refresh, setting an alarm before succumbing to deep slumber.

After all, the intelligence would still be there, and seeing it two hours later wouldn’t make much of a difference.

…..

At one in the morning, the alarm rang punctually.

“Huff….”

Lin Mo, who had only just fallen asleep not long ago, opened his tired eyes and quickly turned off the phone alarm.

Indeed, he didn’t need to be this exhausted; after all, he was already a millionaire, but perhaps it was years of habit that he couldn’t shake off yet. He always felt that if there was a chance to make money, he had to grasp it firmly—letting it go would be like losing money!

First, take care of the essentials, then relax properly!

After making sure he hadn’t woken his wife, he quietly got out of bed, freshened up briefly, changed into a clean set of clothes, and left the house.

Lin Mo first called a rideshare to the charging station, then drove his Wuling mini to the wholesale market.

It was the middle of the night, yet some stretches of road were still brightly lit and bustling with people, lively as ever.

Passing by the bar street, it was filled with men and women just finishing their nightlife; nearly all the late-night food stalls were crowded with patrons.

“`

The noise was deafening, and the atmosphere was incredibly lively.

Luxury cars were everywhere, and scantily clad beauties could be seen at every turn.

It almost gave one the illusion of being unable to distinguish between day and night.

This was Rakshasa City,

a metropolis with international flare, where the rich reveled in extravagance and the poor lived like cockroaches.

After driving for about half an hour, Lin Mo finally arrived at North City District’s largest first-level Vegetable Wholesale Market.

The time was 1:40 AM, with 20 minutes to go before the market opened.

At the entrance to the wholesale market, various types of tricycles and farm vehicles loaded with vegetables were already packed together. On each vehicle sat a middle-aged couple, either dressed in thick down jackets or simply wrapped in military greatcoats.

These were local vegetable farmers from Rakshasa City.

Very few of them were natives; most were outsiders who leased a few acres of land, erected greenhouses, and planted cash crops and vegetables.

It was a way to make money, but it was also incredibly exhausting.

Waking up at dawn, sleeping in the middle of the night, worrying about heavy rain, hailstorms, pest infestations, and so on…

If it was a good harvest year with favorable market conditions, then the hardships endured were not in vain. But just one little accident could render all their hard work useless.

No help from heaven, no hope from earth!

Those who toiled for years in greenhouses only to still be in debt to the bank—Lin Mo had seen plenty of them.

They worked through the day watering, irrigating, fertilizing, and removing pests…

At night, they’d start picking vegetables, washing them, and packing them neatly into their tricycles, then they would drive dozens of kilometers to the market to sell the freshest produce for the slimmest profit. And when it was time to head back, they had to stealthily avoid the traffic police that might appear on the road at any moment.

Earning money like selling cabbages while worrying like dealing drugs.

This saying wasn’t an exaggeration at all.

Everyone knew that selling vegetables wasn’t as profitable as wholesaling them, but not everyone had the capital to become wholesalers.

This was Rakshasa City, a place where poor people must struggle hard just to survive. For ordinary citizens at the bottom of the social hierarchy, climbing upwards wasn’t easy at all.

“Still some time before the market opens, just enough to check what information the system has provided!”

Lin Mo stretched lazily and skillfully summoned the interface of the Intelligence System in his mind.
