Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

「Eilrus Town.」

Jiang Chen was dragged by Angelina to become a street vendor. Angelina squatted on the ground, displaying the equipment they had obtained for sale right on the street. Selling items this way was one of the essential skills for a Hero.

Jiang Chen wanted to sell them all to a merchant to settle it once and for all.

But Angelina firmly declined. In her opinion, selling to merchants meant getting a low price. It was better to sell the items herself so the merchants wouldn't earn even a single Yuan from her.

Somehow, Jiang Chen found himself agreeing to her request; it was always hard for him to say no to a beautiful woman.

Jiang Chen stood still while Angelina enthusiastically hawked their wares.

Angelina said, "Come on, say something!"

"Me, a noble Swordsman, hawking equipment on the street?"

"What's wrong with being a Swordsman? Is it such a prestigious profession? You just can't swallow your pride. Don't you need to make a living?"

"I was trying to say that I actually have money; there's no need for..."

"Even if you're rich, you should be thrifty! Do you have any idea how expensive equipment is? After the First-stage advancement, we'll be talking about massive amounts of money—and sometimes, even money can't buy what you need! I'm preparing for the future."

Jiang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This woman is quite interesting.

Once he reaches the First-stage, as long as she sticks with me, she won't have to worry about equipment.

Angelina continued, "Don't you think it's fun to get equipment from drops and then hawk the hard-won gear on the street? Money earned through hard work feels more satisfying."

Is she an idiot or what? Just sell it all to a merchant and be done with it. You're trying to cut out the middleman, but they need to make a living too!

The crucial thing was, what Angelina said actually made a lot of sense.

Jiang Chen also played the fool for once, raising his voice and shouting, "Come and take a look! Only 999 Yuan! Don't miss out as you pass by! For 999 Yuan, you can become a God! For 999 Yuan, you can challenge those above your level! For 999 Yuan, you can surpass everyone else!"

Excitement lit up Angelina's face. "Just 999, just 999..."

Indeed, their shouting drew a crowd. Many people gathered around, intently examining the equipment Attributes.

"Damn, such awesome equipment for just 999 Yuan? Let's hurry and check it out!"

"Damn it, I thought they were God-tier items, but they're all just common gear. Bro, your advertising game is strong!"

"So, it's all just common gear after all."

"Well, not all of it. There are also two pieces of bronze gear."

"Buddy, I'll take them all. How about a wholesale price of 500 Yuan each?"

...

Angelina counted the money excitedly, looking like a little money-grubber. She handed some to Jiang Chen, saying, "This is your share. We'll split it seventy-thirty. I've divided it clearly."

"You can keep it all for now."

"Aren't you worried I'll pocket it all?"

Jiang Chen turned and smiled. "I trust you."

"Yes, you're a good person. Don't worry, I have a good sense of judgment and won't misuse it. I'll save it up; it'll be useful later. We need to prepare for the future."

Jiang Chen was somewhat bemused. This small amount of money is nothing to me.

"Where are we going now?"

"To the tavern. Let's have a drink to celebrate."

"Alright."

「Inside the tavern.」

Jiang Chen ordered a Bloody Mary, a drink he found comforting. Angelina sat quietly beside him, watching him.

Jiang Chen was puzzled. "Aren't you drinking?"

"I don't know how to drink."

"Are you worried about the cost? Don't worry, it's on me."

"Bartender, a glass of Romantic Lover, please."

...

What the hell?

A glass of Romantic Lover costs several thousand Yuan! And she claims she doesn't know how to drink? Or does she just not want to spend her own money! What a little money-grubber.

Jiang Chen glanced at his fifty-Yuan Bloody Mary. Suddenly, it lost all its appeal. To hell with this Bloody Mary!

I'm drinking cheap liquor while she orders the expensive stuff... For her, her own money is to be saved, but other people's money is to be spent!

Jiang Chen forced a smile. "This drink isn't bad."

Angelina watched Jiang Chen finish his drink, then poured half of her own into his glass with a smile. "I'll share half with you. It's more fun when two people drink together."

"Why do two people need to drink together?"

"I'm not a good drinker. I get dizzy if I drink too much."

Hmm...

This is a great opportunity! Tonight, I'll try to get the Divine Blessing. If I acquire this team Skill, I won't even need to form a team anymore.

Jiang Chen coughed. "It's fine. Drink as much as you want. My treat."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Bartender, a bottle of Romantic Lover, please."

...

Jiang Chen felt he'd been tricked. A bottle is about ten glasses, so one bottle costs fifty thousand Yuan! That's fifty thousand Yuan for one bottle of wine—even more expensive than the finest liquor!

Looking at Angelina's drinking capacity, it's clearly anything but ordinary.

The two of them left the tavern.

Angelina let out a satisfied burp. Jiang Chen was utterly speechless. You said you couldn't hold your liquor, that you'd get dizzy from drinking! You've had three bottles, how are you not dizzy yet?!

"Jiang Chen, don't walk so fast! I'm dizzy."

Jiang Chen stopped, looking at the staggering Angelina. As if afraid he would run off, she clung tightly to his left arm with her right.

Stop trying to stuff it in, it won't fit...

"You've had too much."

"Just a little. My head is so dizzy right now. I can't drink anymore. If I drink more, I'll really be drunk."

Yeah, right! Like I'd believe that! You just want another freebie, don't you!

"I'm going to be flat broke one day."

"Why?"

"Sooner or later, you'll drink me into poverty."

"Hehe... Don't be stingy. Didn't you say it was just chump change?"

"Even 'chump change' can't withstand your drinking. You've gone through a hundred and fifty thousand Yuan in one night."

Angelina walked ahead, her face flushed. She looked back at Jiang Chen and laughed. "Does it sting, spending that much?"

"Sigh..."

"Why are you sighing again?"

"It's a good thing you're not my wife. Otherwise, I really couldn't afford to support you."

"Haha... Then I'll insist on becoming your wife and turn you into a pauper!"

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes. I thought she was the naive one, but it turns out I'm the fool. I should just hurry back to the hotel and get some sleep.

Becoming my wife? Dream on! You'd squander my entire fortune sooner or later...

Angelina was truly drunk.

Jiang Chen put Angelina on the bed and covered her with the blanket. He then lay down beside her, watching her sleep peacefully. Silently, he took out a cigarette, walked to the window, and took a long, hard drag.

Then...

「The next morning.」

When Jiang Chen opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Angelina, wide-eyed, staring at his nose.

Angelina's thigh was casually thrown over his body, her right hand on his back, her whole body hugging him.

Uh...

Jiang Chen asked, "Did you... do anything untoward to me last night?"

"That's my line."

"There should be equality between men and women."

Angelina sat up and straightened her clothes. After checking them, she finally relaxed with a sigh of relief and touched her head, asking dazedly, "What?"

Uh...

Angelina touched her head. "I really drank too much last night. I absolutely can't drink like that again."

"You still want a next time? If there is one, you're paying."

"Did I spend a lot of money drinking?"

"About a hundred and fifty thousand Yuan, I guess!"

Angelina's eyes widened in disbelief. "A hundred and fifty thousand Yuan? Oh my gosh, how much equipment would we have to sell to make that much? Was it your money?"

"Yeah."

Angelina breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness it was your money."

Damn it, what kind of thing is that to say? As if my money isn't real money! This woman is truly obsessed with money.

Jiang Chen got up. "Let's go. Time to continue grinding levels."

"Okay."
