Chapter 397 - 185: Banknotes That Can Breed Money!

"Dad~ Here you go! This is all my money! I really believe in you! You have to do your best today!"

"Where did you get so much money?"

Jiang Tao looked at the wad of cash Jiang Xue handed him and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This stack of bills was no less than three or four thousand!

"Dad, you don’t need to worry about that. Just take it and use it!"

"This is your daughter’s support for you~ Just remember to pay me back with interest as you said."

Looking at Little Cotton Padded Jacket’s confident demeanor, Jiang Tao felt like he was being played, but he was still amused.

Such a young age and already has a head for business, the kid’s got potential!

Not bad at all!

As for the interest on a few thousand bucks, Jiang Tao really didn’t mind.

Besides, the money wasn’t being earned by someone else; it was getting taken by his own Little Cotton Padded Jacket, so he didn’t feel bad about it.

"Haha, alright, let me count how much there is, and I’ll pay you back with interest tonight."

Jiang Tao said with a smile, cheerfully counting the cash in his hand, totaling 3,800 bucks!

Among them, there was one bill that glowed a dim golden hue in his vision.

Evidently, this was the special bill mentioned in Brother Tongzi’s intel.

"What are you two up to over there?"

Xu Li noticed father and daughter counting money, and curiously walked over to ask.

Jiang Xue’s little face was full of pride as she said:

"Dad said he needed 1,000 bucks to do business, and I lent him my allowance money for it!"

Jiang Xue’s uplifted face was full of pride.

"Hehe, really, our Xiao Xue is such an understanding good child."

Xu Li was amused by her daughter’s words and gave Jiang Tao a playful side-eye.

She knew right away it was a scheme to swindle kids out of their pocket money.

Jiang Tao winked and raised his eyebrows at Xu Li, signaling her to keep it under wraps.

"It’s about time, we should get going downstairs."

Xu Li smiled and reached out to Jiang Xue.

"Mm-hmm! Dad! You have to work hard! Go for it!"

After giving her dad a cheerful pep talk, Jiang Xue held her mom’s hand, and the mother-daughter pair walked towards the door, laughing and chatting.

Seeing his mom serving rice, Jiang Tao seized the moment to slip back to the bedroom, carefully pulling out the hundred-yuan bill with the dim golden glow from the cash stack.

To anyone else, it was just a 100-dollar bill.

But to him, it was uniquely significant.

[Special item detected in host’s possession, would you like to bind and activate the attribute now?]

"Yes!"

Familiar with the process, Jiang Tao took out the needle from behind the phone case.

Continuing to draw blood, he bound and activated the attribute on the bill.

[Special item successfully bound and activated, random attribute acquired.]

Upon seeing the system panel notifications, Jiang Tao redirected his gaze to the hundred-yuan bill in his hand.

[Item Name]: Money Breeds Money.

[Attribute]: Everlasting Bloom.

[Effect]: Can generate 100 brand-new bills daily.

[Note]: The generated bills are 100% genuine and can be used without worry.

"Now that’s really money breeding money!"

Seeing the name and attribute after activation, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up.

Generating 100 bills daily equals 10,000 bucks!

Now, alongside the Wealth-Attracting Golden Toad and the Beiqi EU5, there’s a [Money Breeds Money].

Even if he does nothing in the future, he makes a net income of 30,000 bucks a day!

Ninety thousand a month just lying around!

If used for daily expenses, it’s more than enough for the whole family to splurge!

"Not bad, not bad, welcome to our big family!"

Jiang Tao brought the hundred-yuan bill to his lips and gave it a peck.

This was undoubtedly another "cash cow" to help him make money.

"But, where should I put it..."

Jiang Tao glanced around the room, looking for a place to store it, but nowhere seemed appropriate.

[Ding! System detected host’s need for storage, would you like to spend 10,000 to open an item list?]

[Once the item list is opened, system items can be stored inside.]

Swoosh!

A blue system screen suddenly appeared, displaying two lines of information.

"Item list?"

Upon seeing the system notification, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up.

10,000 to open an item list, the price isn’t too steep!

"Open it!"

[Processing deduction, please wait...]

[Deduction successful, congratulations on obtaining 1 item list slot!]

Swish!

The deep blue virtual panel in front of Jiang Tao transformed, revealing a grid about one cubic decimeter, full of high-tech flair.

This grid was similar to a storage slot in an online game, allowing free and easy access to items related to the system.

Jiang Tao reached out and placed the [Money Breeds Money] he was holding into the storage slot, and it successfully stored!

"Interesting!"

After testing the effect of the Item List, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but brighten up.

[Would you like to spend 100,000 yuan to open the second item slot?]

"That’s quite a steep price increase!"

Seeing that the price to open the second item slot had increased tenfold, Jiang Tao was taken aback.

"Yes! Open it!"

Although it was a bit pricey, Jiang Tao still gritted his teeth and opened it, then placed the Wealth-Attracting Golden Toad from the safe into the slot.

This way, it’s both safe and saves time and effort, no need to open and close the safe every day.

[Would you like to spend 1,000,000 yuan to open the third item slot?]

"No..."

Seeing the price of the third slot doubling again to 1 million.

Jiang Tao was speechless, silently choosing no.

Currently, he didn’t have an urgent need for storage.

No need for that many item slots for now.

"Son~ time to eat."

"Alright, I’m coming."

Hearing his mom’s voice from outside the door,

Jiang Tao closed the system interface with a thought and opened the door to leave the room.

Early in the morning, he had acquired a special item mentioned in the intel.

Jiang Tao was in a great mood, and his appetite grew quite a bit.

After eating, Xu Li and his mom cleared the plates and utensils into the kitchen dishwasher.

Jiang Tao and Xu Li followed their usual routine and left the house, walking towards building 62 where Xu Li’s parents lived.

On the way, Jiang Tao hesitated several times, unsure whether to tell Xu Li about her mother being pregnant.

If the parents didn’t want the child, it didn’t matter if they didn’t take folic acid or vitamins.

But if they did want the child,

not taking the necessary vitamins and trace elements early could affect the fetus’s development.

"Husband, why do I feel like you have something to tell me?"

Xu Li hugged Jiang Tao’s right arm, looking at him curiously.

After so many years together, neither could hide their thoughts from the other.

Jiang Tao thought for a moment and then spoke:

"Wife, I’ve noticed Xiao Xue’s grandma’s face showing signs of joy these past two days, as if there’s some happy news."

"Huh? What happy news could my mom have? Stinky husband, are you joking about my mom!"

Xu Li wrinkled her nose at Jiang Tao’s words and gently punched him on the arm.

Jiang Tao laughed, "Don’t doubt it, I studied face-reading with my master for two or three years; your mom’s face these past days definitely shows signs of happiness."

Xu Li said, "So what happy news could there be?"

"Perhaps your mom’s going to give you a little brother or sister?"

"Stinky husband! You said you weren’t joking about my mom. My mom is already in her 50s, how could she..."

Xu Li hadn’t finished her sentence, suddenly froze.

She actually knew of someone who got pregnant in their 50s!

Jiang Tao’s uncle’s partner, Tian Mingrong, was also in her 50s.

She had heard from Jiang Tao that Tian Mingrong was already pregnant with her uncle’s child.

Those two were likely to get married this year because of the child.

"Husband, you weren’t joking, right?"

Recalling Tian Mingrong and her uncle’s situation, Xu Li believed Jiang Tao’s words a bit more.

In theory, the chances of pregnancy for women in their 50s or 60s were low, but not impossible!

Jiang Tao became serious and solemnly said,

"From a face-reading perspective, it seems accurate, but to be sure, more scientific methods should be used to verify it."

"My mom and dad..."

After accepting Jiang Tao’s words, Xu Li was at a loss.

She and Jiang Tao had been trying for almost a month with no results.

And now her mom might be pregnant with a third child???

"Husband, what if it’s true?"

Xu Li looked at Jiang Tao with a complex expression.

Jiang Tao calmly said,

"It depends on what your dad and mom want. Whatever decision they make, I’ll respect it."

"Mm-hmm, I think the same way."

Xu Li quickly came to terms with it too.

Given their current family situation, even having a third child wouldn’t be too much pressure.

As they walked and talked, they soon arrived outside Xu Li’s parent’s house.
