Chapter 713: Average
"So many small cards... What's a homeless guy doing with these? He doesn't have the money to mess around." Yu Nan patted his filthy clothes pocket and found he had indeed hidden all sorts of small cards printed with sexy, beautiful girls.
The cards looked quite old, with several black fingerprints smudged on them, clearly indicating they were often held.
"No way..." After organizing his thoughts slightly and sifting through the homeless man's memories, he was shocked by the other party's bizarre habits.
Lacking entertainment, and with the long nights stretching out, that guy actually had to rely on looking at small cards to "cast spells" and alleviate his loneliness...
"..."
"There seems to be something hard inside." Yu Nan had originally intended to tear up all these "black history" items, but he found two that he couldn't tear.
An ID card, name: Yu Nan...
And a bank card.
"What a waste of such an elegant name. From now on, I'll live on for you."
...
"Where did he go today?" A rather delicate-looking girl was wandering around the overpass, seemingly looking for someone.
She was an overly sympathetic girl who had grown up in comfortable circumstances. She often helped the original Yu Nan, though the biggest reason was that she found the homeless man quite handsome, with a melancholic, decadent, and artistic air about his brows.
"Are you looking for me?" In the original Yu Nan's memories, this girl occupied a quite important position. Though she looked rather ordinary, not as alluring as the girls on the small cards, she was genuinely a good person. Every few days, she would bring him food, and sometimes even leave some money, which was how the impoverished man could afford wine.
"Who are you?" The girl turned her head, seeing someone she didn't seem to recognize, yet who felt vaguely familiar.
"I'm the one who lives here." Yu Nan pointed to the bed under the overpass.
"You don't look like him." She looked at Yu Nan, who was neatly dressed and didn't have a trace of strange odor, and mumbled to herself.
Trash cans were indeed good things.
To make himself look like a normal person again, Yu Nan, relying on his memory, rummaged through all the nearby trash cans. He finally found half a bottle of unused shower gel, and a set of old clothes that fit reasonably well.
He ran to a river a few hundred meters away that didn't seem too heavily polluted, and used up all the shower gel to wash himself clean.
As for his hair, which was so dirty it had grown worms, Yu Nan simply used a broken knife he found in a trash can to shave it all off, covering his bald head with a common canvas advertising hat, like those seen on tour groups.
"Then... how can I make you believe me?"
"When was the last time I came here?" the girl blurted out.
"One... two... three, three days!" Yu Nan said, having sifted through the original Yu Nan's memories.
"I didn't expect you'd get back on your feet after just three days." The girl clearly accepted Yu Nan's answer.
She had previously learned a little about the original Yu Nan's background. About six or seven years ago, both of Yu Nan's parents fell seriously ill. To treat them, he poured almost all of his family's savings into it, and accumulated a lot of debt, but in the end, he still couldn't save their lives.
His wife had several big arguments with him over this, finally divorcing him and leaving with their son. Suddenly becoming a lonely man, the original Yu Nan couldn't bear the blow; his mind began to develop problems, he lost his job, and eventually became a homeless man who was sometimes normal, sometimes deranged.
The overly sympathetic girl had explicitly and implicitly suggested to him many times that she could support him in starting over, but the original Yu Nan, who had completely succumbed to this decadent life, never considered it.
"Just lie around and be a good-for-nothing... Anyway, everything you strive for will be scattered by a gentle breeze."
He always answered like that.
"Can you lend me five thousand yuan? I want to start over."
The girl never expected Yu Nan to say such a thing to her.
"Can I transfer it to your phone?" She didn't doubt his sincerity. Yu Nan had purposely changed his appearance to prove himself; that alone was something a self-indulgent good-for-nothing wouldn't do.
Yu Nan shook his head.
"I forgot you don't have a phone yet... Come on, I'll buy you one."
She seemed quite excited, while Yu Nan appeared a bit awkward.
Yu Nan had originally prepared a lot of persuasive words, thinking of how to coax the girl into lending him money. He never expected that the moment he opened his mouth, she would agree directly, leaving all his prepared "dirty talk" useless.
As a Reincarnator who had traveled through many worlds, his moral bottom line could drop quite low as long as he achieved his goal. Tricking little girls was child's play for him.
According to Yu Nan's original plan, he only wanted to trick her out of some money to buy a phone, then go on a mad spree of online loans. Anyway, the apocalypse was only half a month away, so money borrowed by "skill" wouldn't need to be repaid.
He spent most of the day confirming the reality of the Main God and the impending apocalypse, because Yu Nan discovered that the basic body-tempering cultivation technique he had exchanged for in the Main God Temple, which was in his memories, actually worked in this world!
...
"Here." The eager girl held a new phone and handed it solemnly to Yu Nan. "The latest M40."
"..." Holding the phone, Yu Nan was momentarily at a loss for words.
He saw the promotional poster outside the phone shop: it was the latest and most expensive model in the store, and the top-tier configuration, priced at over eight thousand.
"What's your bank card number? I'll transfer it now."
...
"Did you press an extra zero?" Yu Nan glanced at the SMS notification for the transfer and found that she had transferred a full fifty thousand yuan.
"More capital means you can start over better," the girl said with an indifferent expression.
"Don't just squander it away, this is half a month's living expenses my family gave me."
"..."
Li Jian Ning.
Yu Nan glanced at the name of the transferor and hesitated inwardly.
Living in the cycle of transmigration worlds, it had been a long time since he had encountered a truly good person. Even his own teammates often couldn't be relied upon and would sell him out.
"The apocalypse is nigh, demons will run rampant across the land. Find a safe place, stock up on food and water, and survive.
That's all I can say.
Yu Nan."
After withdrawing the cash from the bank, he sent her this text message, considering it a repayment for Li Jian Ning's kindness.
...
"This is what you meant by being the most ordinary person?!!!" In a messy room, Lun Qin complained to a coffin on her bed.
"Three hundred times, oh, my Lord God, this is three hundred times the power of an ordinary person!!!" Lun Qin casually patted the chair, which was already broken into several pieces, destroying it even more thoroughly.
"I gave you the average power of everyone on this planet." The voice from inside the coffin was very calm..
