Making a Fortune, 5 Yuan Enters the Account

The next day, early morning

The bathroom was filled with steam.

Hanako stood in front of the sink, her hands supporting her on the countertop, bending slightly over, her face almost touching the mirror.

She turned her face from side to side, carefully examining herself in the mirror.

Her skin was fair and radiant, with a natural blush on her cheeks, and her eyes showed no signs of fatigue, but rather were moist and sparkling.

Does it really have beauty benefits?

Hanako murmured to herself, her fingertips lightly touching her cheek.

"It seems... my complexion is indeed a bit rosier."

I have to admit, I felt refreshed when I woke up this morning, and even my skin seemed smoother.

"Could it really be...?"

Hanako muttered to herself, a slight smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips.

She shook her head, banishing these embarrassing thoughts, and picked up her toothbrush to squeeze on the toothpaste.

The minty flavor spreads in your mouth.

She hummed an unknown tune while brushing her teeth, clearly in a good mood.

Just then, the bathroom door was pushed open.

Jiang Chuan walked in naturally, wearing loose pajama bottoms and shirtless.

"morning."

He casually greeted her, acting like an old married couple, and walked over to Hanako, picking up his toothbrush.

"Eek~"

Hanako, with a toothbrush still in her mouth, made a muffled, teasing remark.

"You just casually pushed the door open and came in! Aren't you afraid I'll be naked?"

As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her chest.

The neckline of the pajamas was already loose, and this movement made her full curves even more obvious.

Jiang Chuan glanced at it and smiled.

"Wouldn't it be better to be naked?"

He brushed his teeth and gave a mumbled response.

Then he naturally walked behind Hanako, wrapped his arms around her waist, and gently rested his chin on her shoulder.

What are you doing?

Hanako pouted coquettishly, but her body betrayed her by leaning back and snuggling into Jiang Chuan's arms.

"I'm brushing my teeth, stop fooling around."

"No trouble."

Jiang Chuan hugged her waist tightly, and one hand slid down to her lower abdomen and gently pinched it.

"I just think you look especially beautiful today."

"Glib-tongued."

Hanako said this, but her eyes were full of smiles.

"You're such a bad guy."

She twisted her body, but couldn't break free.

"This is the Pokémon Center, be careful."

"Now you know it's at the Pokémon Center?"

Jiang Chuan leaned close to her ear, lowered his voice, and chuckled.

"Who sneaked into my room last night, and even took the initiative...?"

"Oh dear!"

Hanako blushed instantly to the roots of her ears, turned around abruptly, stood on tiptoe, and sealed Jiang Chuan's lips with hers.

The minty toothpaste foam smeared all over Jiang Chuan's mouth.

"Well……"

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment.

Then she smiled and accepted the toothpaste-flavored kiss.

A few seconds later, Hanako blushed and stepped back, her eyes darting around, unable to look at him.

"Serves you right for talking nonsense..."

"Eek~"

Jiang Chuan licked his lips, deliberately making a disgusted expression.

"You kissed me with a mouthful of foam on my lips? Aren't you disgusted?"

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Hanako immediately turned her head and glared at him, her cheeks puffing out slightly.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

She reached out and poked Jiang Chuan's chest.

"I didn't mind the mess on my face last night, but now you're disgusted?"

As she spoke, she playfully slapped Jiang Chuan's hand that was wrapped around her waist.

"How can that be the same? Last night was..."

"You still dare to talk back!"

Hanako was both embarrassed and annoyed, and turned around to kiss him again to shut him up.

Jiang Chuan was well-prepared for this.

He laughed and turned his head away, then pressed his face against Hanako's, wiping the foam from his mouth back onto her face.

"Oh dear~ Jiangchuan! Foam!!"

Hanako exclaimed, but her voice was full of laughter.

Not to be outdone, she also smeared the foam on Jiang Chuan's face.

The two of them started playfully fighting in the bathroom.

You wipe me, I'll rub my face all over you.

Laughter and coquettishness mingled together.

Hanako's pajamas were slightly damp, clinging to her body and outlining her alluring curves.

Jiang Chuan's pajama bottoms were also splashed with water.

But none of them paid any attention.

Like an ordinary couple, they enjoyed their playful morning time.

Then a knock came at the door.

Then came Miss Joey's gentle yet questioning voice.

"Mr. Egawa? Ms. Hanako? You're in the same room?"

The two people in the bathroom froze in that instant.

Hanako froze in Jiang Chuan's arms, her eyes wide and her expression panicked.

Jiang Chuan also stopped what he was doing and made a "shh" gesture to her.

"I think I heard a sound..."

Miss Joey spoke softly from outside the door.

"Has something happened?"

Hanako blinked anxiously, mouthing silently, "What should we do?"

Jiang Chuan remained calm.

He cleared his throat and responded towards the door.

"It's alright, Miss Joey, I'm washing up."

"And Hanako-san too..."

Miss Joey had clearly heard the two of them making noise.

"Ah! It's...it's Jiang Chuan sleeping in!"

Hanako quickly spoke, her voice slightly shrill from nervousness.

"We need to leave early today. He... he's not up yet. I'll come and wake him up."

As she spoke, she frantically tidied her disheveled pajamas and tried to wipe the foam off her face.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but laugh at her flustered appearance.

"I see."

Miss Joey outside the door was silent for two seconds.

Then, a knowing smile appeared in her voice.

"Okay. Then you guys be careful."

"Although the accommodation is free, the Pokémon Center has rules that some things... are not allowed to be done."

She paused, then added.

"Of course, given Mr. Jiang Chuan's heroic act last night, we will appropriately relax our management. However... please still be mindful of the impact."

That's already a very tactful way of putting it.

But the meaning is clear—I know what you're doing, don't go too far.

"Okay, okay! We'll be done in a minute!"

Hanako replied, blushing.

Hanako finally breathed a long sigh of relief as she listened to Miss Joey's footsteps fading into the distance.

She slumped into Jiang Chuan's arms, her forehead pressed against his chest.

"That scared me to death..."

"Look how scared you are."

Jiang Chuan smiled and ruffled her hair.

"Miss Joey isn't going to eat you."

"That's embarrassing too!"

Hanako looked up and glared at him reproachfully.

"Look at you, you almost got caught! If we get blacklisted by the Pokémon Center, we won't be able to stay there anymore. You'd better behave yourself then!"

"Hurry up and wash up! Get ready and get out of here!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Jiang Chuan smiled and agreed.

The two quickly finished washing up.

Hanako carefully checked herself in the mirror, making sure there were no foam marks on her face and that her pajamas were neatly arranged, before she felt relieved.

"I'll go out and help with the cleaning first."

She whispered to Jiang Chuan.

"Miss Joey must have been suspicious just now, I need to make a good impression and cover it up..."

"Go ahead. I'll be out in a bit."

"Um."

Hanako blushed, tiptoed to open the door, and peeked into the hallway.

After confirming that no one was around, he slipped out.

Jiang Chuan watched her retreating figure and smiled.

Then I picked up a towel, dried my face, and walked out of the bathroom.

The curtains in the room were already drawn.

The morning sunlight streamed in, warm and comforting.

Jiang Chuan picked up the Trainer Healing Computer from the bedside table. The Trainer Forum showed 99+ message notifications.

"Oh? There's some movement."

He raised an eyebrow and opened the forum.

Enter the bounty area directly.

The post I made last night has been pushed to the top of the trending list.

The title is simple.

A mysterious Flying-type legendary Pokémon has been spotted on the outskirts of Viridian City! High-resolution photos are needed for identification!

Attached below is the photo that only shows a corner of the golden feathers and rainbow light.

The number of replies and bidding records below the post has exploded.

"Holy crap! The sheen! The texture! This is definitely not photoshopped!"

"Vivid City? I'm nearby! Please provide your exact coordinates!"

"Name your price, OP! I'll take this photo!"

"I'll pay 50,000! Sell it to me!"

"You think you can buy the legendary elf's tracks for 50,000? I'll offer 80,000!"

"100,000! DM me, OP!"

Jiang Chuan quickly browsed through the bidding records.

Most of the bids hovered around tens of thousands.

However, there are three records that are significantly higher than others.

ID【Lighthouse Watcher】bid: 120,000 Alliance Coins.

ID【Seaside Beauty】bid: 135,000 Alliance Coins.

ID【White-Clad Researcher of Pallet Town】bids: 150,000 Alliance Coins.

Moreover, the three bids kept increasing, clearly indicating a head-to-head confrontation.

"The Lighthouse Keeper... isn't that Zheng Hui?"

"A beauty by the sea...who is this?"

"The white-clad researcher from Pallet Town..."

Jiang Chuan looked at the ID, smiled, and immediately guessed who was behind it.

"Old Man Da Mu, you really are rich."

150,000 Alliance Coins.

This is already a huge sum of money for an ordinary trainer.

It's enough to live comfortably for several months on the road, and you can also buy a lot of Poké Balls and healing items.

Jiang Chuan did not hesitate and directly clicked to confirm the transaction with the "White-Clad Researcher of Pallet Town".

Almost the next second after it was confirmed.

Ding dong.

The phone rang with a crisp notification sound.

[Your trainer account has received 150,000 League Coins. Current balance: 150,850 League Coins.]

With this money, plus the good citizen bonus promised by Miss Officer Jenny, he could live quite comfortably for the foreseeable future.

Of course, if you want to get some Pokémon and items, a few hundred thousand won't be enough.

Those things cost tens of thousands each.

Top-tier items can even fetch hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.

However, there is a system, and you can get items and such by completing tasks.

It's just a matter of scanning the map more often.

Jiang Chuan turned off his computer, feeling quite pleased with himself.

He changed his clothes and left the room.

In the hallway, Hanako was wiping the handrail for Miss Joey.

She worked very diligently, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Miss Joy watered the potted plants and chatted with Hanako occasionally, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

It seems that Hanako's "performance" was very successful.

Miss Joey has made no further mention of what happened in the bathroom.

"Jiang Chuan, get up."

Hanako's eyes lit up when she saw him.

But then she remembered something, her face flushed again, and she lowered her head to continue wiping the handrail.

"Yes. Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Chuan walked over and naturally took the rag from her hand.

"I'll do it. You go and rest for a while."

"No need, I'll be done wiping soon."

Hanako tried to take the rag back, but Egawa wouldn't let go.

Their fingers touched.

Hanako recoiled as if electrocuted, her ears turning red.

Miss Joey, who was standing nearby, smiled and tactfully walked away with the water bottle.

"Look at you, you're sweating."

Jiang Chuan reached out and gently wiped the sweat from Hanako's forehead with his thumb.

The movements were gentle.

Hanako was stunned.

She looked up at Jiang Chuan, and seeing his focused gaze, her heart skipped a beat.

"I... I can do it myself..."

She whispered, took the rag from Jiang Chuan's hand, and turned to continue wiping.

But the smile on her lips couldn't be hidden.

…………

Half an hour later, Jiang Chuan returned to his room to pack his luggage.

The three gathered in the lobby of the Pokémon Center.

Xiaoxia sneaked over to scare Jiang Chuan, but when she saw the balance on Jiang Chuan's screen, the thought vanished instantly.

"150,000? Jiang Chuan, you've struck it rich! How did you suddenly get so much money?"

She grabbed Jiang Chuan's arm and moved even closer.

A faint fragrance wafted over from the girl.

Jiang Chuan could feel the temperature of her body.

"The photos were sold."

He answered casually and continued tidying up.

"Photographs? What kind of photographs can sell for 150,000?"

Xiaoxia looked incredulous.

Then it suddenly dawned on her, and she gasped, "You mean that shiny big-beaked bird?"

"Mm." Jiang Chuan nodded.

Xiaoxia stared blankly with her mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.

Her family owns a martial arts school and is considered wealthy. While 150,000 is a considerable sum, it shouldn't have caused her to lose her composure.

However, this photo of the flashing big-billed finches is worth 150,000!

This really surprised her.

"No way, are rich people these days really that stupid? Buying a picture of a big-billed finch for 15?"

Xiaoxia made an exaggerated exclamation, and then her eyes suddenly lit up.

She suddenly turned her head to look at Jiang Chuan, a sly glint in her eyes.

"Then... if I take some pictures of my starfish, will that also..."

She had already started making plans.

This time, when he ran away from home in a fit of pique, he really didn't have much money with him.

Although Hanako kept telling her not to worry about it, she still felt bad that Hanako was eating and drinking for free.

If only I could earn some money myself...

You're overthinking it.

Jiang Chuan ruthlessly interrupted her fantasy and immediately explained that it was a picture of the mythical beast Phoenix King, which put Xiaoxia at ease.

Xiaoxia immediately deflated, her shoulders slumping.

"All right……"

But the next second, she rallied and wrapped her arms around Jiang Chuan's neck.

"Hehehe, Jiang Chuan, you've struck it rich! Can you treat me to something good to eat?"

She was practically hanging on Jiang Chuan, her soft breasts pressing against his arm without reservation.

Jiang Chuan could clearly feel the full elasticity.

What would you like to eat?

"Hmm... let me think..."

Xiaoxia tilted her head, thinking very seriously.

A few seconds later, her eyes lit up.

"I want a burger! A double beef and cheese burger! And ice cream! Chocolate flavor!"

Jiang Chuan was taken aback. He had thought that the young lady from the Hua Lan Dojo would suggest a fancy meal at a high-end restaurant.

The result was that they asked for a small amount, just enough for snacks to cover the cost of a regular meal.

"Is that all?"

Xiaoxia nodded vigorously, her eyes full of anticipation.

"At home, they say these are junk food and don't let me eat much of them. But I love them!"

As she spoke, she shook the hand that was wrapped around Jiang Chuan's neck, as if she were being affectionate.

"Please, Jiang Chuan, treat me to a meal!"

A tomboy's ability to act cute can be quite effective.

Jiang Chuan looked at her bright eyes and her unconsciously pouting lips, and smiled.

"Okay. Please have some."

"Yay! Jiang Chuan, you're the best!"

Xiaoxia cheered and hugged him even tighter in her joy.

She was practically pressed against Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan could even smell the faint scent of shampoo in the girl's hair.

The benefits are plentiful.

Xiaoxia herself seemed completely unaware of how suggestive the position was.

She was still basking in the joy of "having a hamburger to eat," and smiled brightly.

Just then, Hanako, who had finished cleaning, walked to the door and saw this scene. Her big eyes blinked in astonishment...
