Chapter 433: Chapter 202: Mutant Walnut Tree, Bitcoin Secret Key, Fixed Travel Location!

Xu Li saw that Jiang Tao had his own plans, so she didn’t necessarily have to follow him.

Jiang Tao had just finished washing up when the sound of a car engine roaring came from outside the door.

"I guess Zhiquan is here, I’ll go take a look."

Jiang Tao said to Xu Li, walked across the yard to the gate, and opened the gate.

Sure enough, Liu Zhiyuan parked his truck in front of Jiang Tao’s house, pushed the door open, and jumped out of the car.

"Brother Jiang! Wow, it’s been over a month since we last met, and Brother Jiang is looking more and more like a big boss!"

Liu Zhiyuan’s eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Tao, and he flattered him as a bonus.

"I’m no big boss, at most a self-employed individual."

Jiang Tao laughed as he went forward, patted Liu Zhiyuan’s shoulder, and said with a smile:

"But you, kid, you’ve probably been living too comfortably at home this past month, gained about twenty pounds, right?"

"Big head, thick neck, you look more like a big boss than I do."

"Hahaha, Brother Jiang, stop teasing me!"

"I’m just hanging around with you to earn a living, I’ll always be your loyal follower."’

Liu Zhiyuan scratched his head and chuckled foolishly twice.

He’s now firmly holding onto Jiang Tao, the golden thigh, without letting go.

Before the New Year, he followed Jiang Tao and made hundreds of thousands of yuan selling sugar tangerines.

After the New Year, he followed Jiang Tao selling cows and made hundreds of thousands more.

In just about two months, he’s pocketed nearly three hundred thousand!

Now, Liu Zhiyuan sees Jiang Tao as closer than his own father.

Of course, saying this might be a bit exaggerated, but only a little, not much.

"Tonight, let’s have a gathering at the Bai Yulan Hotel with a few of our brothers and split the money from the cattle farm while we’re at it."

Hearing Jiang Tao mention splitting the money, the smile on Liu Zhiyuan’s face grew wider!

"Alright, Brother Jiang!"

Jiang Tao said, "I’m going out of town this morning for some business, so I won’t be inviting you to come inside."

"No problem, Brother Jiang, you go ahead and take care of your business. My cousin’s riding a bike following behind, probably arriving soon."

"It’s early in the morning; sister-in-law and Xiao Xue are probably not awake yet, and I won’t disturb their sleep."

Sure enough, as Liu Zhiyuan’s words fell, a tall and slender young man in his twenties rode a Yadea electric bike and turned in from the alley entrance.

The young man parked his bike next to Liu Zhiyuan, looked at Jiang Tao with a somewhat tense expression, and greeted him.

"Hello, Brother Jiang."

Hao Zhiming looked at Jiang Tao with respect and admiration. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

This Brother Jiang was truly capable!

After the Chinese New Year, in just about a month, his cousin had earned hundreds of thousands following this Brother Jiang.

It’s become a popular topic of conversation in the family.

Before, no one would even bother to introduce marriage prospects to his cousin all year round.

Even if acquaintances did introduce someone, those women didn’t fancy his cousin, and it always ended in failure.

This year’s situation is entirely different from previous years!

People heard that his cousin was hanging out with a big boss, making two to three hundred thousand in a few months.

A bunch of relatives and friends are scrambling to introduce his cousin to marriage prospects.

Moreover, the girls who went on blind dates with his cousin no longer acted arrogant after hearing about his income.

In the matter of blind dates, his cousin made a spectacular comeback.

Naturally, Hao Zhiming was envious from the bottom of his heart.

All three brothers in their family were yet to marry.

If they couldn’t find a benefactor to lend them a hand, and relied solely on their own efforts, the difficulty level of future marriage discussions was going to be hellish.

"Brother Jiang, this is my cousin Hao Zhiming."

Liu Zhiyuan cheerfully introduced his cousin to Jiang Tao.

"Thanks for your help today, Zhiming."

Jiang Tao greeted Hao Zhiming with a smile, reaching into his pocket to offer the two a cigarette each.

"It’s no trouble at all, Brother Jiang."

"Heh heh, Brother Jiang, my cousin is like family; there’s no need to be so polite."

Hao Zhiming and Liu Zhiyuan both reached out reverently with both hands to accept the cigarettes Jiang Tao offered as they chatted with him.

As Jiang Tao gave them cigarettes, he had a thought and used the [Bo Le] title to check Hao Zhiming’s talent.

[Name]: Hao Zhiming

[Talent]: Athletic Champion!

[Professional Direction]: Marathon Runner (Five Stars), Errand Runner (Two and a Half Stars).

"Oh, turns out he’s quite a talent!"

Seeing Hao Zhiming’s talent and professional direction, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but brighten up, feeling like he had found a treasure.

This kid, if properly nurtured, will definitely be a talent in the future!

It might be worth considering signing him to an MCN company for training.

[Ding! Congratulations on using the Bo Le title to discover a promising talent, triggering the Special Mission [Promising Talent]!]

Suddenly, Jiang Tao heard a system notification sound in his mind.

The next second, a blue system interface popped up automatically.

A prompt message appeared on it:

[Mission Name]: Promising Talent

[Mission Content]: Train Hao Zhiming to become an outstanding marathon runner and meet the national champion standard.

[Mission Reward]: Cash 3.88 million, Constitution 8 points, Charm Value 7 points, Health 6 points.

[Do you accept this mission? Yes or No?]

"Yes, yes, yes!"

After seeing the mission name and content, Jiang Tao didn’t hesitate at all and directly chose to accept the mission!

No matter if it can be completed or not, just accept it first.

Anyway, even if it can’t be completed, at most it’s just some salary loss.

If the mission can be completed, the rewards are quite generous.

As for the difficulty of this mission...

For ordinary people, it’s definitely as hard as climbing to heaven.

Currently, in the marathon sport, to meet the national champion standard, the time needs to be ≤2 hours 19 minutes and 20 seconds.

If a public runner can run within 3 hours, they are considered excellent.

hours and 19 minutes can be said to be the ceiling for public runners!

Even someone like "Taisho," who is a top internet celebrity among public runners.

Doesn’t dare to guarantee they can run within 2 hours and 19 minutes every time.

So, the difficulty of this task is not small.

But since Brother Tongzi showed that Hao Zhiming has talent in this field and is suitable for running.

He will certainly perform well in running.

With this thought, Jiang Tao looked at Hao Zhiming’s slender long legs and said with a smile:

"Zhiming has a pretty good physique, these long legs would be wasted if not running."

"Haha, Zhiming’s small body is indeed not bad. If I had his physique, no one would introduce matchmaking to me."

"Girls chasing me would line up from our Liu Family Manor to the county town."

Liu Zhiyuan joked as he walked over to Hao Zhiming and made a comparison with him.

The two brothers standing together instantly made Jiang Tao laugh.

Liu Zhiyuan is about 1.68 meters tall and weighs around 178 pounds.

His whole person looks round and chubby, just like Nezha’s master, Master Taiyi.

Hao Zhiming’s height is about the same as Jiang Tao’s, roughly 1.82 meters tall.

His physique is even slimmer than Jiang Tao’s, with skinny arms, legs, and face, looking like Shen Gongbao from Nezha.

Just as Jiang Tao said, it would be a waste of this physique not to run.

"Back in high school, I ran in the sports team for three years, after graduation, work got in the way, and I didn’t have time to run anymore."

Hao Zhiming scratched his head, a bit embarrassed by Jiang Tao’s praise, with a shy boyish smile.

Jiang Tao looked at Hao Zhiming and suddenly asked seriously:

"Zhiming, let me ask you a question, answer me honestly."

Seeing the seriousness on Jiang Tao’s face, Hao Zhiming became a bit nervous and said:

"Jiang, Brother Jiang, ask."

Jiang Tao asked with a serious look: "Do you like running?"

"Ah? I..."

Upon hearing Jiang Tao’s question, Hao Zhiming thought of the days he used to run and sweat on the school playground during his three years in high school.

He wasn’t fond of studying and his academic performance was terrible.

But he had an immense love for running.

Training in the coldest winter and hottest summer, he persisted regardless of the weather.

Back when he was on the school sports team, he was known as a running fanatic who felt uneasy if he didn’t run for a day.

The joy running brought could not be understood by someone who didn’t run.

However, after high school graduation, due to family circumstances, Hao Zhiming didn’t continue to university.

Following a fellow townsperson’s introduction, he worked in a factory in Ping County.

Working day and night, two shifts, more than 12 hours a day.

Besides working, his remaining time was spent eating and sleeping.

There was no time for running at all.

But...

If you ask what Hao Zhiming loves to do the most, it is definitely running, there’s no doubt!

"I love running!"

Hao Zhiming, after pondering for a few seconds, firmly looked at Jiang Tao and gave a definite answer.

Jiang Tao smiled and asked: "I have a job here where you can make money just by running every day, are you interested?"
