Chapter 7: Robbery!
"Let's exchange 500 for now, as an initial development, 500 should be enough."
The purchasing power of $500 is not high, but Lin Xiao's boundary is limited, and frequent exchanges are not worthwhile. With this initial capital of $500, the plan in Lin Xiao's mind can already be unfolded.
"Alright, 500 dollars will be exchanged immediately. Since it's an exchange, you can freely store and withdraw it within the Wan Jie system. When you want to take it out, just think about it in your mind."
Lin Xiao's consciousness was connected to the internal space of the Wan Jie system, and he clearly felt that after his 1st-level Small Thousand Boundary power decreased by five points, five dark green banknotes suddenly appeared in the originally empty space.
As soon as he had the thought, five $100 bills appeared in Lin Xiao's hand which was placed in his pants pocket.
He pulled out his hand and Lin Xiao looked at the five US dollars in his hand, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"With this amount of money, should be enough, right?"
Lin Xiao had never been abroad and wouldn't know the purchasing power of US dollars in America. He simply relied on some information he had searched online before, plus his own speculation, to estimate that these five hundred dollars would be enough to buy that thing.
As long as he bought that thing, Lin Xiao's next plan could be unfolded.
Lin Xiang had told Lin Xiao that there were no supernatural beings in this world, which made Lin Xiao give up his plan to gain power in this world. He then shifted his focus to another aspect.
Money!
To survive in this world, the existence of money is indispensable. With money, many things will be much easier to handle. However, in reality, Lin Xiao had no way to quickly get a large sum of money, so he set his sights on these small worlds.
Anyway, for these small worlds, he is just a passerby. No matter what kind of heinous crimes he commits, as long as he returns, it has nothing to do with them.
Perhaps the excellent Lin Xiao wouldn't have done this in the past, but since witnessing Iyun being taken away and being powerless to stop it, he understood a principle: "Whoever has the bigger fist is the truth."
His fists are small, so he can only be forced to accept everything given by others, but now he has an opportunity, no matter what, he will not let go of this opportunity, whoever tries to stop him, he will kill!
Clutching the five hundred dollars, Lin Xiao's heart was in turmoil, and it took him a good while to calm down.
"Brother, you need to learn how to control your emotions!"
Lin Xiang's voice full of concern echoed in Lin Xiao's mind, apparently the intense emotional fluctuations that Lin Xiao had just experienced were also felt by Lin Xiang.
"Alright, I'll learn to control it." Lin Xiao nodded and silently picked up the money, then stood up from the long chair.
At this time, a few cries of surprise suddenly came from the crowd not far away, and then a figure quickly rushed out of the crowd. He pushed open the passersby in front of him with both hands and ran quickly towards Lin Xiao's direction.
"Help! That guy stole my wallet!"
In the crowd, a stout middle-aged woman limped out, shouting loudly as she chased after someone. Her bright and shiny clothes were now stained with dirt, and her exposed knees were scraped, clearly having been pushed to the ground when the thief snatched her money.
Among the onlookers, a few young people seemed eager to rush forward and help, but were pulled back by their companions. They saw that the hijacker's hand was gripping a dagger, clearly indicating that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Lin Xiao was standing right in the way of the fleeing bandit, he glanced at the middle-aged woman on that side, then looked at the bandit running over, his instincts told him to get out of the way, but a surge from within made him unwilling to move.
"I am no longer the person I used to be, and I must learn to face future life in a different way. Since it's inevitable, the sooner the better. Let's start with this calamity!"
Lin Xiao's eyes flickered with an inexplicable fierce light, and in his eyes, the bandit who had rushed over suddenly transformed into the old man who had taken away Yi Yun that day. In an instant, Lin Xiao's last bit of fear disappeared without a trace.
Yay!!!
With a gritted teeth, he muttered the two words, just as the bandit was about to run past Lin Xiao's side, Lin Xiao suddenly stretched out one leg.
Bang!
"Ah~~!"
It just so happened that the unlucky bandit probably didn't think that this young-looking yellow-skinned kid would suddenly stretch out a leg to trip him, and hadn't even thought about dodging. He only felt that one of his feet had suddenly kicked something hard, and then his body followed its inertia and plunged forward violently, directly crashing onto the hard ground.
Obviously, smashing your face into the ground is not a wise move. No matter how thick-skinned you are, it won't protect you at this moment.
The bandit only felt a severe pain coming, and before he could react to get up, a heavy object was pressed heavily on his back. Immediately afterwards, his head was dizzy, and then he knew nothing.
Lin Xiao suddenly stretched out his leg, successfully tripping the hijacker and, without noticing the pain in his calf, directly flipped over and sat on the hijacker's back, rounded his arm, and punched the hijacker's occipital bone with a loud thud.
"How long has it been since I last got into a fight?" Lin Xiao suddenly thought.
It seems that since elementary school fifth grade, he has never fought with anyone before, and had no idea that he could actually knock someone to the ground.
As soon as the punch landed, Lin Xiao immediately felt a sharp pain, looked at his gradually reddening backhand, and Lin Xiao curled up his mouth, revealing a strange smile.
"The feeling of hitting someone... it's so refreshing!"
With this punch, Lin Xiao felt that all the resentment he had accumulated over the past few days was finally vented. He grabbed a handful of the bandit's long hair and took a closer look, only to find that he had already fainted.
There was a small puddle of blood on the ground, but it wasn't much, and it wouldn't be fatal.
At this time, Lin Xiao also discovered the stolen goods.
A lady's purse.
He picked up his wallet, and with one kick, he knocked the robber's dagger out of his hand. As Lin Xiao turned around, he found that everyone seemed to be staring at him.
"Thank you so much! Thank you very much!"
At this time, the foreign middle-aged woman who was robbed also walked over with a limp, thanking Lin Xiao profusely.
Lin Xiao smiled and returned the wallet to her. The other party immediately opened the wallet and took a look at the contents inside, and only after finding that nothing was missing did she pat her chest and let out a sigh of relief.
Lin Xiao thought there was nothing more for him to do and he didn't want to go to the police station to make a statement, so he decided to turn around and leave.
However, at this time, the middle-aged woman grabbed him.
"Young man, thank you so much! This is your reward!"
That was three $100 bills, Lin Xiao had taken a glance at the contents of his wallet before, and in fact there wasn't much cash inside, only five or six bills. The other party actually wanted to give him a reward of $300, which surprised Lin Xiao greatly.
