Chapter 7: I’m Serious About Making Money

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a few days of struggling, the sales of the houses were finally finalized. In the end, Su Can sold all the houses he owned for 30 million.

Su Can nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the 30 million balance in his bank account. He finally felt at ease now that he had the money. 30 million should be enough for him to obtain food, medicine, daily necessities, generators, and other resources. He might even have leftover money after obtaining these things. However, his body was unlike ordinary people so he had to prepare more things and a place to live. As such, 30 million might not be enough.

Su Can was still deep in his thoughts when he received a text from Li Jiayue.

“Su Can, how have you been recently? What have you been busy with?”

Li Jiayue’s slight concern instantly dispelled Su Can’s anxiety by half. After thinking for a while, he typed on the keyboard and replied, “I’m seriously making money for the future.”

Su Can had yet to figure out how to tell Li Jiayue about the apocalypse that was going to happen in the future.

“Is that so? Good luck!”

“Thanks.”

After sending the simple reply, Su Can looked at the balance in his account and fell deep into his thoughts again.

“How can I obtain more money? Should I borrow money?” Su Can wondered out loud. However, he did not have any relatives, and he could not possibly borrow money from Li Jiayue. Moreover, even if he could, it was likely that Li Jiayue did not have much money. He could try getting a loan from the bank using his business, but the bank would not be able to lend him that much money.

‘What should I do?’

At this time, Su Can suddenly received a text message.

“Congratulations. You’ve obtained a credit limit of one million yuan. Please download our app for more information. The first twelve months of repayment are interest-free…”

‘That’s right! If I want to borrow money, I can just go online…’

Su Can was inspired when he saw this text message.

The monthly interest of online loans was very high, and under normal circumstances, he would not have considered doing this. However, the apocalypse was coming; what could anyone do if he did not repay the loan?

With this thought in mind, Su Can quickly downloaded the app for an online loan platform and quickly filled in the application form for a large loan.

Not long after Su Can submitted the application form, he received a call from the online loan platform’s customer service.

“Hello? Is this Mr. Su Can?” a male customer service officer asked, trying his best to suppress his excitement and sound calm. Earlier, when he saw the application for a large loan, he had almost jumped out of his seat from the excitement. The interest rate of their loan platform was only slightly lower than that of loan sharks. Based on the amount that Su Can wanted to borrow, Su Can had to pay at least 6,000 yuan a day. All in all, he would receive a commission of at least 20,000 yuan. This kind of pie-falling-from-the-sky situation finally happened to him!

“Yes, it’s me,” Su Can replied indifferently with a nod, “I’ve already submitted my application for a loan. When will the one million be transferred into my account?”

“Sir, please wait a moment,” the male customer service officer replied, still trying to suppress the excitement in his heart. He was very excited that he had encountered someone taking out such a huge loan not long after he started work, but he still had to seriously check a few things. After all, the loan had to be repaid. If Su Can did not repay the loan, he would be in serious trouble.

“Sir, I’d like to confirm your place of employment and your home address. We have to verify a few things before we can release the money to you,” the male customer service officer said with a smile.

“Why are you so worried? I’ve already filled out my home address and my place of employment in the form, and they’re true. I have more than ten properties in hand. I want to buy a better property now so I’m currently a little short on funds. With so many properties, are you afraid that I’ll run away? When everything is settled, I’ll be able to repay the loan with interest in one go,” Su Can said.

Upon hearing Su Can’s words, the male customer service officer grew even more excited; he had successfully captured a big client. He said, “Sir, please wait. I’ll process the loan for you immediately.”

“Alright,” Su Can replied before he ended the call, looking very satisfied.

It did not take long after Su Can ended the call when he saw the additional money in his account.

‘As expected of an online loan platform… It’s really fast!’

The corners of Su Can’s lips curled up into a smile. As long as he continued doing this with other online loan platforms, he should be able to raise enough funds.

…

Within a few days, Su Can successfully took out loans from various online loan platforms. It did not take long for his account to have an additional twenty million yuan. With all the money he obtained, he did not think it would be difficult for him to buy a piece of land that could be used as a shelter.

Su Can looked at his account balance with satisfaction. He did not think too much about the usury of the online loan platform. After all, the end of the world was coming, and he did not need to repay the loans. No matter how high the interest rates were, they had nothing to do with him.

Although Su Can had a huge sum of money now, he could not spend it as he pleased. He wanted to complete his next purchase in the next few days, and if the transaction was too large in such a short period of time, he would be flagged by the bank. If the bank felt that his account was suspicious, the bank might even freeze his account. It would be terrible if that happened.

It would be easier for Su Can to buy a piece of land in the name of a company compared to buying it personally. It was a little troublesome to set up a company, but if he hired a lawyer, it should be settled in fewer than two days.

…

Su Can collapsed on the couch as soon as he got home. Over the past two hours, he visited many law firms in the city before he finally found a reliable lawyer to help him with the least amount of money.

In another two days, he would receive the documents for his company. Subsequently, he could begin to look for a place to build a shelter. The money he spent on hiring the lawyer was indeed worth it.

Su Can was still thinking about the matter when someone knocked on his door.

“Who is it?”

Su Can opened his eyes and rose to his feet. When he opened the door, he saw a slender figure standing in front of him.

“Hi, good afternoon!”

Li Jiayue was dressed especially well today. Her hair was pulled to the back, making her dimples even more obvious when she smiled.

“Li Jiayue? Why are you here?” Su Can asked, pleasantly surprised. His lazy appearance from before vanished immediately, and he quickly straightened his back. Then, he continued to say, “It’s so late now. Please come in. I can order you dinner if you haven’t eaten…”
