Chapter 335: Gifts Must Be Thoughtful
"I created the Body Strengthening Technique. Judging from your appearance, you should have reached the fifth level."
"Work hard. Once you have mastered it, you won't feel tired when you continue to stay up late and work overtime." Chen Jue smiled slightly and responded sincerely without any hesitation.
"Oh my god!"
"It's really you!" Jiang Fan couldn't help but blurt out the Chinese quintessence. He was so shocked by the information that he almost lost control of the steering wheel and even drove the car under the viaduct.
In fact, the roommates in Room 348 had guessed Chen Jue’s identity a long time ago, because before Chen Jue left the message on the AFK, he had passed the "Body Strengthening Skills" to several of his roommates.
At that time, the official version of "Body Strengthening Kung Fu" had not yet been circulated on the market, but Chen Jue took out this martial art and taught it to them.
In addition, the author's name is the same as his, so anyone with a little bit of common sense can associate his true identity with it.
Jiang Fan's mind was shaken, and he took two deep breaths, "Old Cat, you are really... so awesome... you secretly made such a big news behind the scenes!"
"During the six months since you disappeared, news related to the "Body Strengthening Technique" has been all over the screen!"
"My whole family is practicing this!"
"Speaking of which, your current identity is not the urban war god or the crooked-mouthed dragon king in the novel, right?"
"Or was he recruited by the higher-ups and became the leader of the martial arts world, or the special forces king of a certain department? People on the Internet are saying that the author of "Body Strengthening Skills" is definitely a modern martial arts saint."
"Haha! That's not true! I'm just an ordinary person. I just learned some martial arts before you. It's not as exaggerated as you think." Chen Jue was amused by Jiang Fan's ridiculous words.
Although his cultivation level has reached the highest point for human beings, he is still essentially the same ordinary person, Chen Jue.
It's just that the changes in this year have been slightly bigger, and Chen Jue is a billion points stronger than the original one.
If Chen Jue is really judged by the society's standards, his current identity is still that of an unemployed vagrant. He is nearly thirty and has not bought a house or married yet. He is a complete 24K purebred country loser.
This "diaosi" has more money in his pocket, a stronger body, and a prettier face. Young ladies will like him very much when they see him.
…
The car was driving smoothly in the city. After confirming Chen Jue's identity, Jiang Fan kept talking in the driving seat, saying "awesome" repeatedly.
By the time we drove to a hospital in Xiao District, Hangzhou, almost half an hour had passed.
After half an hour of mental excitement and inner activities, Jiang Fan's emotions finally stabilized.
"Let's go! I'll take you, the Martial Saint, to see my newborn son. We in the dormitory have agreed that every child born in the future must acknowledge the godfather!"
"What big dad, second dad..." Jiang Fan said jokingly while taking some fruits from the trunk and going upstairs with ease.
"Then wait a moment. Since you are here to see my godson, we cannot be without courtesy when meeting each other!" After Chen Jue finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly. He disappeared in a flash.
In my hometown in Vancouver, there is a custom of full-month gifts. When a relative or friend’s child is born, we must take time to visit the hospital and give them a full-month red envelope.
When the newborn is one month old, the parents will hold a full-month banquet in the hotel to entertain the guests who have given gifts.
This was Chen Jue's first visit, so naturally he had to be polite.
Fortunately, Hangzhou is a very developed city. He found a big brand jewelry store called Zhou XX in the commercial district near the hospital. As soon as Chen Jue entered the store, he took a quick look at the counter.
"Please wrap this for me. It's for gift giving. Put it in a nice box." Chen Jue pointed to a longevity lock engraved with the words 'Long Life' on the counter and said to the clerk.
"Okay, sir! This is the new pure gold baby longevity lock launched by our headquarters. Do you want it with a gold chain or a red rope?" the clerk asked, and took out two longevity locks from the counter.
Chen Jue weighed them and found that the two longevity locks were a bit light and probably not solid, so he put them back: "Do you have a solid longevity lock?"
"Sir, this is for the baby! A solid one would be too heavy and uncomfortable for the child to wear. We don't have a solid one in the store at the moment." The clerk explained hastily upon seeing this.
"How can I feel uncomfortable wearing something that weighs only a few dozen grams?" Chen Jue chuckled. The attributes of his brain area increased dramatically, and some memories that were deposited deep in his brain were recalled by him.
In his memory, he also wore such things when he was a child, but they were all made of silver.
The silver pendant engraved with the words "longevity", the silver bracelet with a teething stick, and two silver foot rings, the whole set weighed at least a hundred grams. I was very happy wearing them at that time and didn't think it was too heavy at all.
"Sir, if you want to buy the solid version, I can go to the headquarters and apply for a transfer."
“But you have to wait two days, and the transfer will cost several dozen extra dollars.” The clerk tried hard to sell.
Chen Jue took a look at the price list in the store. In addition to the 999 gold price of more than 500 yuan per gram, there was an additional labor cost of more than 200 yuan per gram.
The price of this product is almost half the value of gold. It is truly a big brand!
Chen Jue walked around the store and didn't see anything he liked, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it! I'll go next door if they don't have it in stock. Sorry."
Although he is extremely wealthy and worth nearly a billionaire, he is not a fool who spends without thinking.
…
After leaving the jewelry store, Chen Jue found an Industrial and Commercial Bank of China nearby.
After getting the queue code and waiting for a while, Chen Jue took out some new banknotes from the counter and sealed a big red envelope with 8888 in it. He also asked the teller inside if he had any investment gold bars for sale.
The investment gold bars of the bank are different from the gold bars sold in gold shops. These are calculated according to the international gold price of the day, without labor costs, and their sources are authentic, so you can buy them with more confidence.
"We have gold bars for sale. What weight would you like, sir?"
"The gold bars here are divided into three different sizes: 10 grams, 50 grams, and 100 grams." The teller asked through the bulletproof glass.
Since Chen Jue was going to give gifts, he certainly couldn't be partial. Once he started this, his roommates' children would have to make up for it. So Chen Jue thought for a few seconds and asked, "Give me 20 100-gram sticks. The cost will be charged to my card."
When the teller heard that a big business had come, he hurriedly called the counter manager.
As soon as Chen Jue's financial account was opened, the long list of balance numbers and account levels instantly dazzled the two people inside!
Soon after, the branch manager of this Industrial and Commercial Bank of China heard the news and came to invite Chen Jue to go into the VIP area and wait for a seat, and served him tea and desserts.
When he was working, the balance in Chen Jue’s card had always fluctuated between six and five digits, and he had never experienced this kind of service treatment from rich people.
I didn't expect that after leaving the earth for more than half a year, I could act like a local tycoon in front of outsiders!
…
With the money paving the way, the bank staff quickly brought out 20 beautifully packaged investment gold bars.
Under the warm hospitality of the branch manager, Chen Jue took a business card, declined the proposal to buy large-scale financial products and investment projects, picked up the gold bars and left the bank.
When passing by a boutique, Chen Jue went in and bought a bunch of red ropes.
"The raw materials have been obtained..." Chen Jue walked quickly towards the hospital and sent a voice message to Jiang Fan asking for the names of his two children.
Jiang Fan was a little confused by his behavior. After reporting his name, he urged Chen Jue to hurry over, saying that the child had just woken up and he wanted the other party to recognize him in advance.
"How can a baby who is only a few days old recognize people with such poor vision?" Chen Jue smiled, took out two gold bars from the box and held them in his hands, while walking, he activated the martial arts energy in his palms.
Under the scorching heat of the martial arts energy, the two gold bars softened quickly, and he finally used extremely skillful and gentle techniques to rub them out into two solid longevity locks made of pure gold.
There are two longevity locks, with "Long Life" engraved on the front and the names of Jiang Fan's two children engraved on the back.
After the longevity locks were melted into shape, Chen Jue blew on them to speed up their cooling and shaping. Then he threaded the red ropes on them, and the two pieces of full-month gifts for children that had been blessed by him, the "martial arts saint", took shape.
"Done! Saved a lot of time! "
"It's made by hand using traditional methods. Children will definitely like it!"
