Chapter 50: Before I knew it, I was almost a billionaire?
Cheng Ning leaned against the door, her arms crossed over her chest, terrified that Lu Ran would suddenly come close to her.
Seeing her reaction, Lu Ran chuckled, annoyed, "Hey, we've known each other for months. If you don't believe my reasons, don't you believe in my character?"
Cheng Ning naturally believed it.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have given Lu Ran the key to her house. For a girl to give her house key to someone else, it's not just simple trust.
While Cheng Ning could believe it, it didn't mean she wasn't afraid. After all, Lu Ran would flirt with her from time to time, but he had a history of doing so. He might not actually do anything to her, but others might be a different story.
Cheng Ning said weakly, "I believe in character, not in people."
Lu Ran: ......
Hearing Cheng Ning's evaluation of him, Lu Ran was immediately annoyed and said, "System, look at the mess you've made! Listen to what people are saying about me!"
The system only provides the host with a general task objective; the specific actions are up to the host.
[Although the host's shameless approach startled Cheng Ning, it also calmed her anxieties about being in a foreign land. Well done.]
[Gained 300 treasure chest experience points.]
[Congratulations, host! You have triggered a 15x bonus to treasure chest experience points, gaining 4500 treasure chest experience points.]
[Current stored treasure chest experience points: 5780.]
Considering that the highest multiplier critical hit effect was triggered, Lu Ran decided not to pursue the system's responsibility for the time being.
After clearing his throat, he said to Cheng Ning, "Well, let's not discuss this topic for now."
"I'll take you to the bathroom to wash up. After you're done, get some rest. We need to go to the hospital tomorrow."
In this unfamiliar environment, it was naturally impossible for Cheng Ning to brush her teeth, wash her face, and wash her feet all by herself.
Without waiting for Cheng Ning's response, Lu Ran pulled Cheng Ning into the bathroom.
Lu Ran took out a water cup, toothbrush, toothpaste, and towel that she had prepared in advance from her bag. She turned on the tap, filled the water cup with warm water, squeezed out toothpaste and applied it to the toothbrush, and then placed the water cup and toothbrush in Cheng Ning's hands, one on each side.
Aside from being cared for by her parents like this when she was a child, it had been a long time since anyone had done anything so meticulous for her. Cheng Ning didn't hold back this time.
Instead, she quietly enjoyed Lu Ran's care.
After brushing her teeth, Lu Ran handed Cheng Ning a towel that had been dampened with warm water and wrung out halfway.
After Cheng Ning finished washing her face, it was time to wash her feet.
"We don't have a basin, how about we rinse it with a showerhead?"
Cheng Ning nodded gently: "Okay."
"Then I'll help you sit on the toilet, and I'll flush it for you."
Cheng Ning said shyly, "I'll do it myself."
Lu Ran said, "It's inconvenient for you. What if you slip and fall?"
Cheng Ning wanted to say something, but Lu Ran helped her sit on the toilet seat. Then her shoes were taken off, and Cheng Ning, in her nervousness, could only bend her toes and tense her body as Lu Ran washed her feet.
When Lu Ran first saw Cheng Ning's feet, he swallowed nervously.
The next second, I quickly shook my head to get rid of the embarrassing thought.
It looks so beautiful that even someone who wasn't a foot fetishist is starting to become one.
Of course, Lu Ran only admired her with his eyes and did not touch her directly with his hands. He was not a hooligan, so how could he do such a thing? He was simply helping Cheng Ning with her face and feet washing out of kindness.
After helping Cheng Ning put on her slippers, Lu Ran's restless heart finally calmed down a bit.
"Lu Ran, could you get me a blanket? I'll sleep on the sofa; it's quite big."
As Cheng Ning sat down on the sofa, she touched the soft cushions and thought that with a sofa, she wouldn't have to sleep on the floor.
Lu Ran replied, "I want to sit and play for a while. If you sleep on the sofa, where am I supposed to sit? It's uncomfortable to sit on the bed without a backrest."
Cheng Ning pursed her lips: "Then, I'll just sleep on the floor!"
Lu Ran took Cheng Ning's arm and led her to the bedside, where she sat down.
"You lie in bed for a while, I'll wake you up when I'm sleepy."
Cheng Ning hesitated for a moment: "But I'm a little sleepy, what if I fall asleep?"
Lu Ran laughed and said, "I'll wake you up if you fall asleep."
Cheng Ning nodded gently: "Okay."
Then, Cheng Ning took off her coat and slippers and slowly lay down.
Lu Ran covered Cheng Ning with the blanket and said, "You go to sleep first, I'll wake you up when I want to sleep."
Cheng Ning lay there for about twenty minutes, her drowsiness growing stronger, until she couldn't help but mumble, "Lu Ran..."
Lu Ran sat on the edge of the bed and patted the blanket.
"I'm here, you can sleep peacefully."
Feeling that Lu Ran was sitting right next to her, Cheng Ning's last bit of unease about the unfamiliar environment slowly faded away, and she finally drifted off to sleep.
Once Cheng Ning was completely asleep, Lu Ran got up and sat down on the sofa.
He mentally said to the system, "System, open the King's Treasure Chest."
It's time to open treasure chests again. Hopefully, the good luck last time isn't the end, and we can't let him have another bad streak.
【Ding! 】
[Opening the King's Treasure Chest will reduce the chest's experience points by 1000.]
[King's Treasure Chest Opening Now...]
[Congratulations, host! You have opened the King's Treasure Chest and obtained a Susdaner custom fishing rod. It is a limited edition item with a market value of 200 million yuan, but it is extremely rare and difficult to find. It has been successfully purchased for you through our channels. You can pick it up at your nearest brand store.]
Lu Ran was stunned for a moment. It wasn't unusual to get a fishing rod from the box, but it was surprising that such a custom-made limited edition could be found.
This system is amazing.
He could pick it up directly at a nearby brand store, which means the system rewards are distributed based on his location.
Although Lu Ran wasn't a seasoned angler, he still loved fishing, and he was very happy to get his hands on such a rare fishing rod.
"System, continue, open the King's Treasure Chest."
Within two minutes.
Lu Ran opened three King's Treasure Chests in a row.
As it turns out, one should never be too happy too soon.
Sure enough, all three times it was 10 yuan in cash.
"System, open the King's Treasure Chest."
【Ding! 】
[Opening the King's Treasure Chest will reduce the chest's experience points by 1000.]
[King's Treasure Chest Opening Now...]
[Congratulations, host! You have opened the King's Treasure Chest and received ten stocks worth 2 million yuan. The reward has been credited to your account. You can log in to your securities account to view it.]
Lu Ran remained silent for several seconds before giving a strange smile.
They can even issue stock certificates, that's impressive.
Then, Lu Ran took out his phone and opened the stock app. Only then did he realize that the internet speed overseas was incredibly slow. After waiting for a while, he finally got into the app.
Lu Ran was shocked when he saw the account details.
In addition to the 200 million shares in his regular account, he also has a shareholder account, namely the shareholder holding account of Upstream Media.
Billions of dollars, even though it's just stocks, it can still be considered his assets.
He's almost a billionaire without even realizing it?
Even with a normal job, he could never save that much in a lifetime, just from the daily fluctuations in the profits of those two hundred million stocks.
Indeed, when people are not short of money, they really are not short of money.
Although the stock price was falling, Lu Ran didn't take it seriously at all.
After the initial excitement, I casually turned off my phone and lay down to sleep.
There is probably no stock investor in the world with a more carefree attitude than him. To be precise, there is no major investor with a more carefree attitude than him, because Lu Ran doesn't care whether the market goes up or down.
Let it sit there and see when we need it.
