Being reborn from 2023 back to 28 years ago is like living a second life.
Lin Dong now possesses two major advantages: he has the Black Gold System and he knows the major historical trends.
After experiencing a robbery in his previous life, his left hand was permanently disabled, and his life was incredibly miserable. Even in his fifties, he still had to drink and smile to attract business for his boss.
Now that he has been reborn, Lin Dong will take his destiny firmly into his own hands and will no longer easily be swayed by the opinions of others.
As for those who have offended you? Cut them off without hesitation.
The Black Gold System is already incredibly powerful, and it also comes with the "Black Gold Eye" that can scan various people, and the "Enhanced Wings" that strengthen the body.
But Lin Dong firmly believes that the system can be upgraded.
As for how much wealth is needed to upgrade, Lin Dong doesn't understand yet.
The system has a wealth of 17.06 million. Let's try to upgrade the "Black Gold Eye" first.
"Upgrade Black Gold Eye".
Lin Dong silently recited a sentence in his mind.
[Ding, insufficient balance, Black Gold Eye upgrade failed. Intermediate upgrade requirement: 1 billion wealth points.]
Black Gold Eye (Level 1): Accurately locates the target's hidden location in black gold.
"Holy crap!" Lin Dong almost cursed aloud.
Is this system really that greedy? It costs 1 billion just to upgrade a lousy Black Gold Eye to the second tier?
Why don't you go and rob it?
Keep in mind, this is 1995, the time when millions of laborers were heading south to seek their fortune.
Nowadays, the average monthly salary is only around 500 yuan, so buying a courtyard house in Beijing would cost less than 500,000 yuan.
You're asking for 1 billion right off the bat? That's outrageous!
...
Hmm? Should I really buy ten or eight of his courtyard houses? In ten or twenty years, each one would be worth over a hundred million.
Okay, let's do it that way.
Next, Lin Dong tried to upgrade "Enhanced Wings".
[Ding, insufficient balance, upgrade of Enhanced Wings failed. Intermediate upgrade requirement: 1 billion wealth points.]
Intermediate Enhancement Wings: Can enhance various knowledge and skills.
Lin Dong was speechless. Well, he could only strengthen his body first.
Fortunately, the skill of strengthening the body isn't too bad.
[Wings of Enhancement: 1 million wealth points to enhance by 10 points.]
Lin Dong could only find out how much 10 points actually represented by by conducting silent experiments.
To experience the thrill of his own power, he ruthlessly spent 1 million wealth points to increase his defense by 10 points.
[Ding! Body defense increased by 10 points, skin mesodermal toughness increased by 10%, external force damage reduced by 10%, and pain reduced by 10%.]
This is it? Lin Dong suddenly felt like he had been cheated out of a counterfeit product. This was a million yuan! And this is the kind of shoddy goods you deliver?
Lin Dong was completely speechless. This damn system was really shady. He might as well rename it: Black System.
Unwilling to accept the humiliation, Lin Dong gritted his teeth and spent another 2 million to increase his physical strength and speed by 10 points.
[Ding! Strength increased by 10 points, adding 10 kilograms of force; speed increased by 10 points; explosive power increased by 10%; top speed from a standstill: 1.78 seconds.]
"..."
Lin Dong was severely affected and shut down the system to avoid seeing it.
It feels like in the blink of an eye, this huge fortune of 3 million has fallen into the water. No wonder it hurts.
...
After giving his statement at the police station, Lin Dong did not go to the hospital for a check-up, nor did he rush back to his dormitory.
He walked alone to the Xinhua Bookstore on Wenhua Road and bought a copy of "The Complete Sherlock Holmes Stories".
Lin Dong took out a hundred-yuan bill from his system's wealth balance.
I watched as the bookstore cashier put the banknotes through the banknote detector, carefully checked their authenticity, and then skillfully gave me change.
Lin Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief. This money was usable; at least the damn system had some conscience.
Then, he found a steamed bun shop and ate two baskets of fragrant steamed buns with great relish before slowly returning to his dormitory.
Sitting at his desk, he tore off the bottom page of the complete Sherlock Holmes books, which had a blue book stamp.
They also deliberately aged the entire book, making it look like it was bought many years ago.
He also marked many parts of the book in red pen, and even wrote down a few thoughts in some places with great seriousness.
After doing all this, Lin Dong placed the book in the most conspicuous position on his desk.
He is waiting.
Will the twists and turns of fate change?
If he has truly been changed, this person will definitely come looking for him.
...
The Complete Sherlock Holmes 1981 Edition
Tea market on the second floor of Xianquan Hotel.
Chen Shumin bought a morning newspaper and ordered a basket of char siu bao, a basket of shrimp dumplings, a basket of siu mai, and a bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork.
He leisurely ate his breakfast, flipping through the newspaper, occasionally glancing up casually at the robbery scene across the window.
The two bodies at the scene have been removed, and the locations of the human figures have been marked on the ground with white chalk.
Bloodstains, bullet casings, tire tracks, and even barely perceptible, messy shoe prints will be the focus of the investigation.
Chen Shumin counted carefully and found seven shell casings, meaning that a total of seven shots were fired during the robbery.
Seven shots were fired, resulting in two deaths (one guard and one driver), one injury, and one escape. The incident was estimated to have taken about 1 minute and 50 seconds, which was roughly in line with his expectations.
Moreover, judging from the police's response, their habitual thinking is still to focus their checks on land routes and airports, while temporarily neglecting water routes.
This outcome was exactly what Chen Shumin had predicted.
Therefore, the key to the success of the entire plan lies in whether or not the money can be evaded through the first round of police checks.
