Chapter 457: Chapter 214: New Intelligence: Moutai Wine Bottle, Platinum Butterfly Carp, and Big Brother’s Troubles!

"Tomorrow, go take a look at Baiyulan Hotel and make sure to get that wine bottle!"

"In anyone else’s hands, this thing is just a wine bottle, only Brother Tongzi can unlock its true potential."

"I wonder what attribute it will have this time! I’m really looking forward to it!"

Although the Moutai wine bottle wasn’t Jiang Tao’s first special item, he was still a little excited.

These kinds of things, the more the better, he wouldn’t mind getting one every day!

After reading the first piece of information, Jiang Tao already had a plan of action in mind. With a thought, he proceeded to refresh for the second piece.

[Today’s Intelligence 02]:

You had contact with your brother Jiang He yesterday and acquired related information—

The Jiantao Supermarket run by Jiang He is coveted by Li Yifeng, a nephew of a leader in Li Town.

Jiang He and his wife, Zhang Xiaoyan, have been troubled and anxious due to frequent incidents at the supermarket recently.

...

"A leader’s nephew in town is eyeing my brother’s supermarket?"

"I thought my brother and sister-in-law seemed like they had something on their mind at lunchtime."

"Facing something like this, why wouldn’t they just tell me?"

Reading the second piece of information refreshed today, Jiang Tao frowned slightly.

The Jiantao Supermarket he took over from his cousin Xu Jiantao in Li Town was doing well.

Makes a profit of three to four hundred thousand a year without much issue.

A business this profitable is bound to attract envy.

Whether in a big city or a small county, without connections, even if you get a business up and running, you’ll still end up having your success reaped by others.

This experience of his brother and sister-in-law is a vivid example.

"Tomorrow, I’ll also solve the trouble for my brother and sister-in-law."

To his brother and sister-in-law, this might be unsolvable, but to Jiang Tao, it’s not a big deal.

He’s someone capable of seeking big favors now.

Sister Bai of Baiyulan has a lot of influence in Ping County.

The little trouble with his brother’s supermarket should be a mere trifle to Sister Bai.

Jiang Tao had saved Baiyulan’s life once, so asking her for this favor shouldn’t be difficult.

After reading the second piece of information, Jiang Tao proceeded to check the last piece refreshed today.

[Today’s Intelligence 03]:

You had contact with your father-in-law Xu Wencheng yesterday and obtained related information—

The Platinum Butterfly Carp fish Xu Wencheng caught while fishing yesterday is a special item.

Upon obtaining its ownership, you can activate a random attribute.

...

"Platinum Butterfly Carp? Another special item!"

Reading the last piece of information today, Jiang Tao’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

Jiang Tao wasn’t new to obtaining special items like living creatures like the Platinum Butterfly Carp.

Previously, he had bought Wang Cai from an old lady downstairs.

That Wang Cai sure lives up to its name of "Bringing Wealth"!

Recently, when Xu Li took it out for a walk, it brought back quite a bit of good stuff.

Items like golden beans, gold rings, gold earrings, gold pendants, absolutely ridiculous.

Wang Cai, possessing the "Wealth Attribute," not only sustains itself but also adds a bit to the household income.

Now Xu Li and Jiang Xue regard it as a treasure.

"Today’s luck is really good, refreshed two special items at once!"

After reading today’s three pieces of information, the curve of Jiang Tao’s lips was more pronounced than an AK47’s recoil.

With a thought, he closed the system interface.

Jiang Tao continues to brush his teeth, wash his face, and shower, humming a cheerful tune in his heart.

Nineteen minutes in total.

When Jiang Tao finished washing up and, dressed in pajamas, pushed the door to the bedroom, he found Xu Li still awake.

Wearing a black lace see-through nightdress, Xu Li lay seductively on the bedside.

Having just finished her bath, her face and skin all took on a faint pink hue.

Coupled with her enchanting expression and captivating eyes, she looked like a reincarnated Daji.

Old Jiang dropped the act, instantly transforming into King Zhou, and seized the moment for enjoyment.

Admittedly, being at his mother-in-law’s and being at home did feel a bit different.

One hour later...

In the plea of Xu Li, the rapid breaths in the room gradually steadied.

The couple held each other and whispered for a while before falling asleep together.

...

Next morning, 7 o’clock.

"Daddy, get up quickly~ The sun is shining on your buttocks~"

Woken by shaking, Jiang Tao opened his eyes to see his Little Cotton Padded Jacket holding his arm and shaking it.

"Xiao Xue, Daddy has no energy left, you need to charge Daddy up to get up."

Old Jiang played his old trick, continuing to play around with his Little Cotton Padded Jacket.

"Tsk, you think I’m a three-year-old?"

Jiang Xue pouted, being clever, she wouldn’t fall for it.

Old Jiang upped his offer: "Kiss Daddy and fully charge me, and I’ll buy you a new toy set."

"Really? Just one kiss and I get a toy set?"

Jiang Xue’s big eyes roamed around, the glint in her eyes made Old Jiang have a bad premonition.

"A man never goes back on his word."

Old Jiang felt quite confident, having more than 20 million in his little treasury now.

"Deal! Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah~~~"

Jiang Xue held Old Jiang’s face and showered him with a series of kisses.

"Hey, hey, Jiang Xue, you’re not playing fair, I’m fully charged, any more and I’ll explode!"

"Haha! I kissed you 10 times, you owe me 10 sets of toys! No backing out~"

After setting up her dad, Jiang Xue let out a tinkling laugh, feeling extremely proud of herself.

"Honey, Xiao Xue, stop playing around, hurry up and get dressed for breakfast, it’ll get cold soon."

Watching her husband and daughter playing and laughing, Xu Li’s face was also full of happiness.

After some playful antics, Jiang Tao started getting dressed.

Brushing and washing took only about five or six minutes.

After personal hygiene, he sat down at the dining table to have breakfast with his father-in-law and family.

"By the way dad, the Platinum Butterfly Carp you caught yesterday is still around, right?"

While eating dumplings, Jiang Tao casually glanced at his father-in-law Xu Wencheng and asked.

"Yes, I put it in a big basin on the balcony, why are you asking all of a sudden?"

Xu Wencheng, having finished his dumpling, looked at Jiang Tao with curiosity.

Jiang Tao chuckled, "Xiao Xue likes raising fish, so when I go to Beijing, I’m planning to get a large fish tank at home for her to play with. I think that Platinum Butterfly Carp looks pretty, I’d like to keep it in the tank."

"Haha, take it if you want, why be so formal between us?"

Hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Xu Wencheng waved generously and handed it over happily.

"Sure! I don’t know much about raising fish, Dad, after breakfast, can you help me separate it from the other fish?"

Being recognized as a special item by Brother Tongzi, Jiang Tao valued that Platinum Butterfly Carp very much.

"Sure, no problem, honey, didn’t we have a small fish tank somewhere, where did you put it?"

Xu Wencheng asked his wife, considering what his son-in-law requested even more important than his own business.

"Oh, the one we had, I put it in the basement."

"Alright, after breakfast, I’ll get it from the basement and transfer that Platinum Butterfly Carp."

"I appreciate it, Dad."

"You youngster, why so polite with me!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Haha, it’s not being polite, it’s just manners~"

Chatting and joking around, they soon finished breakfast.

After eating, Xu Wencheng took the elevator to the basement, rummaged through boxes, and found a rectangular glass fish tank.

The tank was about 60 centimeters long, 30 centimeters wide, and 30 centimeters high.

The Platinum Butterfly Carp caught yesterday was still just a palm-sized little fish for a day.

Though the tank wasn’t big, it was enough for it to frolic inside it.

[You have acquired ownership of the Platinum Butterfly Carp, binding successful, would you like to activate the attribute immediately?]

As Jiang Tao transferred the Platinum Butterfly Carp to a new tank, a message flashed across his retina.

"Yes! Activate!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Tao chose to activate the Platinum Butterfly Carp’s attribute.
