Chapter 3: Buying the Kitchen Knife, the Universal Job Change System Arrives



After leaving Jinghai University, Qiao Suinian hailed a taxi and headed straight for Lao Cao's food stall.

He remembered that before the Heavenly Net Ghost Spear awakened, he ran a food stall as a cook, and his Nine-Turned Intestines dish attracted a constant stream of customers.

While in the taxi, Qiao Suinian borrowed from every online loan available on the market. He didn't even look at the interest rates; he borrowed even loans that required repayment of 60,000 yuan for every 3,000 yuan he borrowed.

The driver in front glanced at Qiao Suinian, who was frantically applying for loans, through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but offer some advice.

“Young man, online loans are no good. I advise you to give up. When I was young, I was just like you, vain and used online loans to satisfy my vanity, but I regretted it later.”

"Take my advice, online lending is a dangerous business. If you can't handle it, quickly tell your parents and pay back the money. You absolutely must not touch this stuff!"

Qiao Suinian smiled upon hearing this, but did not refute it. Instead, she spoke up.

"Driver, if you trust me, sell all your cash, cars, and houses, and then exchange them for gold."

Once the universal job change system arrives, money will be worthless; it's too stiff to even use for wiping your butt, and nobody will pick it up if you leave it on the ground. Only gold will have any value.

By then, who would bother urging Qiao Suinian to repay his debts? Why not lend them to him?

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Qiao Suinian, the driver could only sigh and stop talking.

In just half an hour's drive, Qiao Suinian's account had already accumulated over 100,000 yuan in cash.

"We're here, young man. I still have to advise you one more time: this thing is dangerous, you really shouldn't touch it!" the driver said earnestly.

"Thank you, sir. Just one more reminder: remember to exchange all your money for gold. You have two hours left."

Qiao Suinian also reminded the driver that she would never be stingy with her kindness towards such a warm-hearted person.

You can't talk about ice with a summer insect. If he directly told the driver that a system for changing jobs for everyone would be coming soon, the driver would just think he was crazy.

Therefore, he could only use this tactful way to remind the driver.

After paying the fare and getting out of the car, Qiao Suinian stepped into Lao Cao's food stall.

It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, and the food stalls had not yet opened for business, but the kitchen was already busy preparing ingredients for the evening.

Qiao Suinian immediately recognized a chubby, busy figure with a mushroom haircut in the kitchen. No one would have imagined that this ordinary-looking fat man would one day become the world-renowned Heavenly Ghost Spear—Cao Junfeng!

"Hey handsome, we're not open for business yet. Why don't you sit down and wait a bit?" The owner of Lao Cao's food stall came out to greet him.

"No need, I'm here to see Cao Junfeng." Qiao Suinian went straight to the point and stated her purpose directly.

Upon hearing this, Cao Junfeng, who was in the kitchen, wiped his greasy hands with a blackened white cloth, walked out with some surprise, and asked Qiao Suinian.

"Have you heard my story?"

“No, but your face tells a story,” Qiao Suinian replied with a smile. “I’m here to discuss a business deal with you.”

"What kind of business? Let me make this clear first, I will absolutely not sell the recipe for Nine-Turned Intestines!" Cao Junfeng's expression instantly turned wary.

Qiao Suinian's lips twitched. Who would want to buy your piece of junk?

"Don't worry, I don't need the recipe. Do you have an heirloom kitchen knife? How about selling it to me for ten thousand yuan?" Qiao Suinian asked with a smile.

"Ten thousand yuan?" Cao Junfeng raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest already in his eyes, but he still hesitated before speaking. "That ancestral kitchen knife was passed down from my great-grandfather's great-great-grandfather; it's my family's most treasured heirloom!"

"Over the years, I have used this cleaver to cut countless large intestines. I have long regarded it as my beloved family and friends, my brothers and sisters!"

"So?" Qiao Suinian asked.

"You need to pay more!"

Qiao Suinian: "......"

Finally, after some haggling, Qiao Suinian bought Cao Junfeng's ancestral kitchen knife for 30,000 yuan.

Just to be on the safe side, Qiao Suinian spent another 20,000 yuan to buy the remaining ordinary kitchen knives from Cao Junfeng's shop.

Cao Junfeng was overjoyed to have made the deal and wanted Qiao Suinian to taste his signature dish, Nine-Turned Intestines.

Qiao Suinian quickly refused. Not to mention that the national job change system was about to arrive, he didn't have time; even if he did have time, he wouldn't eat Cao Junfeng's braised intestines.

Because in Cao Junfeng's previous life, the media had revealed that his family's large intestines were filled with stuffing.

As soon as Qiao Suinian stepped out of the shop, Cao Junfeng and his wife, who were inside Lao Cao's food stall, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

If 50,000 yuan suddenly fell from the sky, anyone would be overjoyed.

They exclaimed that they were incredibly lucky today, having run into a rich but foolish young man.

Qiao Suinian, who was carrying a backpack at the shop entrance, also smiled. Cao Junfeng, the once-powerful Tianluo Ghost Spear, could only settle down to be a cook from now on.

I wonder if Cao Junfeng will regret what happened today so much in the future?

His rebirth has unknowingly begun to change the things happening in this world.

After spending 50,000 yuan, Qiao Suinian still had about 80,000 yuan in cash left.

He first called a moving company to buy enough water and food for five days and delivered it to his dormitory. Then he exchanged all the remaining money for a gold bar.

After doing all this, Qiao Suinian raised her hand and glanced at the time.

February 12, 2060, 18:11.

In three minutes, the universal job change system will be available.
