Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 8 Shabby Shops and Deadline Locks
In this densely populated old city, there are so many residential buildings with different construction dates.

Wherever Chen Ran looked, he suddenly remembered that there was a very old house not far from his house, which was in a crowded area with a lot of people but in a remote location.

With a thought in his mind, he put on his shoes and ran out of the house. After a while, he came to the dilapidated old residential building in his memory.

The conditions given by the system are a bit harsh. Chen Ran needs to use prophetic information to exchange for the potential value of tennis skills, and the prophetic information must allow Chen Ran to make money even while lying down.

For example, you know that a nearby store, whether it is an Internet cafe or a supermarket, can do booming business and make a lot of money. But when this opportunity is placed in front of you and you choose to give up, the system will not recognize it.

Because whether you are opening an Internet cafe or a supermarket, you need to do it yourself and spend countless energy and time. This is equivalent to starting a business. It is generally very hard. If you just say "I give up", you will not get the potential value. The pie in the sky will not be in vain. .

"I have an impression of that residential building. It looked very shabby because of its age, and the location was also very good. It was located in a corner alley." Chen Ran recalled the bits and pieces in his memory.

Generally speaking, there are commercial streets in this area, and there are many residents. A building usually has six or seven floors, with five or six units on each floor, and one unit has two households. Therefore, the cost of demolition is very high, and the government would rather develop it. New town area.

Chen Ran remembers clearly that about two years later, the very old residential building became a dangerous building because of several shocking cracks.

The government had no choice but to demolish it and rebuild it on the same spot, and the residents of that building were a blessing in disguise and got a windfall of money.

"System, if I give up buying these stores, it will still meet the conditions, right?" Chen Ran asked in his mind, pointing to the small, shabby, musty shops in front of him.

The doors of the shops were all broken, and there was a piece of white paper taped to the door, with a few words written on it, including what the shop was selling, and its contact number.

"meets the!"

Chen Ran took a long breath.

In this era when housing prices have not yet soared, it was smelly, dilapidated, small in size, and in a terrible location. A small shop with only a dozen square meters would be disliked even if it was given away.

However, the system prompts that the potential value obtained by giving up this prophetic message must be equated with the wealth at one's disposal.

If Chen Ran had no savings, he would not be able to meet this condition.

I have to thank my foresighted grandma for this.

Chen Ran's grandma is a very frugal old man. She feels that it is unreliable that her son and daughter-in-law cannot save money at all.

So when Chen Ran was in the first grade of elementary school, his grandmother opened a separate account for her grandson, and all the new year's money from now on was deposited into this passbook.

In addition, my grandparents also have a small self-built house with only one floor, which provides a stable source of rent every year.

This money was originally given to Chen Ran's parents, but since he was in the fifth grade of elementary school, the money has been put directly into his bankbook. The reason given by grandma was that she would need a large amount of money when her grandson goes to college. , she would save it first.

When your grandson goes to college in the future, you won’t have to pay for the tuition.

But when Chen Ran was in college, grandma changed her story again, saying that the money would be reserved for her grandson to marry, and that his grandparents and parents would pay half of the college tuition.

Because Chen Ran never got married, the money in this passbook remained unused until he was reborn, which was almost 20.

After getting the system's reply, Chen Ran decisively ran back home and carefully took out the bankbook he had stored. There was more than 500 yuan in it, which could almost buy two of the smelly and shabby small shops just now.

The system quickly gave another prompt. Once confirmed, Chen Ran's deposit will be locked and cannot be used, but he can decide the locking period.

The lock-in period is closely related to the appreciation space of small stores.

Chen Ran pondered for a moment, then excluded the fractional price of more than 500 yuan, and then resolutely set the lock-in period in 2019, because that was the period when housing prices were the highest.Before this point in time, you can no longer use this deposit. Of course, the money you will continue to deposit in the future will not be counted, otherwise you can use it to continue to earn money without limit.

"After the lock-in period is completed, are the potential values ​​evenly distributed?"

"Choose only technical attributes!" This was the plan Chen Ran had thought of for a long time.

He only felt his body tremble slightly, and then he immediately opened the properties panel.

Chen Ran found that his ultimate technical attribute had changed to 73 points, and his remaining potential value had changed from 13 points to 18 points.

By selecting only technical attributes, the potential value only increased by 5 points.

Although Chen Ran was slightly disappointed, he was quickly relieved.

After all, opportunities like the World Cup are rare. If an ordinary person knows all the results like Chen Ran, he can get rich overnight and achieve financial freedom in an instant.

Chen Ran rubbed his head vigorously and put all distracting thoughts aside.

In the "simulation training ground", Chen Ran has unlimited physical fitness, which is also his biggest reliance.

This means that Chen Ran has more training time than any other athlete in the world, plus guidance from famous teachers.

He muttered silently in his mind, and his figure appeared on the training ground again.

"Coach, please train me hard!"

……

A few days passed by in a flash. During this period, Chen Ran always pretended to be a "three good student" and studied seriously in class. In fact, he was training in a "simulation training field" sweating like rain.

As for the homework assigned by the teachers, except for the name, which he wrote himself, he copied everything else exactly.

Fortunately, the time for the high school entrance examination is very close, and there will be no more mock tests, otherwise his results will be exposed.

The beautiful class leader who sat at the same table as Chen Ran was also shocked. What on earth are you busy with every day? You don't even do multiple choice questions or fill-in-the-blank questions.

But this girl is true to her word, and since she agreed, there is no reason to go back on it.

"Chen Ran, what have you been busy with recently?" After school on Friday afternoon, Zhou Jing couldn't help but asked out of curiosity. After all, the 16-year-old girl had lost some composure and could not bear her temper.

Chen Ran replied mysteriously: "I am doing something that must be very important to me. I will tell you after a while, and your jaw will drop in surprise."

"How can it be so exaggerated?" Zhou Jing looked like she didn't believe it, "Don't tell me you are opening a store to do business."

Because her little brain really couldn't think of anything that Chen Ran would do that would surprise her.

"Hey, you'll know after a while. This matter is much more important to me than opening a store and doing business."
