Qian Gang, now known as Li Xuanzu, is just a student. Even if he didn't go to school and spent the whole month working, he still wouldn't earn 10,000 yuan.
Li Xuanzu was now in an awkward position. Qian Gang's physical condition was decent, but definitely not top-notch; he was barely in the upper echelons.
However, Li Xuanzu still had some ability to make quick money.
The first thing to do is to go to some antique stalls and try your luck to see if you can find genuine items. This is the fastest way to make money.
Then there's gambling on rough stones, which I believe everyone knows. Li Xuanzu could easily see the essence of a stone with his divine sense, but the price of a rough stone is generally quite high. If it's a stone of poor quality, it's okay, it's less than a hundred yuan, but if it's of good quality, it can be thousands, and there's no way to do it.
Finally, the dumbest method is fortune telling. It's not difficult for a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage to predict minor karmic causes with their divine sense.
However, this method is extremely unstable and only lasts for one month, so it's uncertain whether it will be able to build a reputation.
But its advantage is that it's not that dangerous.
Although Li Xuanzu has a physical body, he can still get injured if attacked. Both of these factors make him an easy target for envy. If he is ambushed and loses an arm or leg, his chances of survival will be low when the great calamity comes.
Li Xuanzu decided to play it safe and went to have his fortune told.
The cost is very low; a complete outfit costs less than fifty yuan.
They would simply lay a yellow cloth on the ground, bring a table and chairs from home, write down the fortune-telling services and prices, and that was it.
In fact, there aren't many fortune tellers on Blue Star, especially street fortune tellers, who are almost never seen anymore. So Li Xuanzu didn't have many competitors. In addition, the curiosity of young people and the feudal ideas of some older generations made Li Xuanzu's business quite successful.
He chose a location near the university town because there are many young people there, who are generous with their money and don't really haggle.
Unsurprisingly, most of them came to have their fortunes told regarding marriage and wealth.
A fortune reading costs fifty yuan, while a marriage reading costs two hundred and fifty yuan.
But believe it or not, those girls actually gave in. Of course, it could also be because Qian Gang is good-looking, especially when he wears the "Tai Chi diagram," which is what people usually see when fortune tellers wear sunglasses.
This makes Qian Gang look somewhat roguish and handsome, which is exactly the type that many girls like.
If we're talking about their financial fortune, Li Xuanzu could at most tell them some ways to earn seventy or eighty dollars, which they might find useful, but not enough to make them rich.
As for marriage, there's not much to say. Li Xuanzu only told them who the other person was, but not the method or timing.
Who can truly explain matters of fate and destiny?
Interestingly, some young girls would come up and ask if they wanted their palms read. Li Xuanzu could tell just by looking at their faces, and he was also very clear about their little thoughts.
A day passed, and Li Xuanzu had earned nearly a thousand.
It has to be said that this kind of thing makes money quickly, but it's not necessarily a sustainable business.
Because it takes time to see if his calculations are accurate, and that won't be effective in just a day or two, there are only a few students who are interested in this today. Those who aren't interested won't come.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Xuanzu packed up his stall and went home, buying some snacks and gifts along the way.
After arriving home, Li Xuanzu knocked on the door of his landlord next door.
The person who opened the door was a woman named Ning Hanxiang. She was in her thirties, very beautiful, but her husband had died young.
After spending the day studying faces, Li Xuanzu glanced at the other person's face as well, and well, she was a jinx to her husband.
Ning Hanxiang opened the door and found Li Xuanzu staring at her, which made her a little embarrassed, so she quickly stepped aside to let Qian Li out.
Li Xuanzu then realized that staring at people was not a good idea, and apologized repeatedly, putting down the gift in his hand.
"Aunt Ning, thank you for taking care of me all these years. Here are some small gifts as a token of my appreciation." It was a small box of cosmetics that cost Li Xuanzu over five hundred yuan. However, since she had taken care of Qian Li for so long, she had also given Qian Gang a much cheaper house.
"Xiao Gang, what are you doing? I only helped you because I saw that you two kids had it tough. Qian Li is a sensible girl, and it's nice for her to chat with me sometimes. If you keep doing this, Aunt Ning will be angry." Ning Hanxiang frowned. She was well aware of Qian Gang's financial situation, and these cosmetics didn't look cheap.
Thinking of this, Ning Hanxiang suddenly asked, "You haven't done anything illegal, have you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xuanzu was somewhat bewildered, but he still explained the source of the money, which reassured Ning Hanxiang considerably.
Qian Li also walked to the door at this moment, and looked up to see Li Xuanzu.
"Brother," she said softly, still feeling a little uncomfortable.
Li Xuanzu patted her head, took a lollipop from a large bag of snacks and gave it to her, then went home.
