Chapter 25: Chapter 27 Remember to Buy Roast Duck
Qin Youguo also picked up his chopsticks and took a bite, and then the duck leg rapidly shrunk in size.
Qin Hao also picked up his chopsticks to try it; with the first bite, his eyes brightened with joy as the texture and flavor were the best he had ever experienced in his life.
Indeed, it was a truly delectable roasted duck, living up to its fame.
A look of delight appeared in his eyes because he saw the huge business opportunity it presented.
One could tell how delicious the roasted duck was just by the speed at which his parents were eating it.
Qin Hao had tasted only one bite from start to finish, and in less than ten minutes, his parents had devoured the entire duck.
They still seemed to long for more as they gazed at the empty plate.
Mrs. Qin said to him, "Xiao Hao, this roasted duck is so delicious, why didn't you buy a few more? Look, it wasn't enough for us."
Mr. Qin chimed in, "Exactly, let's go buy two more tomorrow; this duck is great, tastes even better than Jinchen roasted duck."
...
Two catties of duck isn't enough?
Usually, the two of you can't even finish one catty, right?
Qin Hao didn't dare respond, fearing that his parents would really push him to go buy more tomorrow. Where would he go to buy it then?
He hurriedly finished dinner, then found an excuse to return to his room.
After closing his door, he sat in the chair and began planning for the future. Selling roasted ducks was something he had to do; it was his only way out at the moment.
Thinking of this, he quickly summoned the system and opened the character attribute panel.

Items: Invisibility Cloak, Small Experience Book (Adds 100 experience points to a skill), Bust-enhancing Bra, Hip-enhancing Underwear.
There were no changes to his attributes. Qin Hao used the Small Experience Book on Medical Skills, upgrading it to level 1.
Then he clicked on the lottery draw again, hoping to draw another Delicious Roasted Chicken Skill Book.
"Congratulations, Host, on acquiring a Bust-enhancing Bra."
Qin Hao's forehead was lined with black threads. One wasn't enough, and now there's another? Does the system want me to open a clothing store or something?
He made another three draws in a row.
"Congratulations, Host, on acquiring Hip-enhancing Underwear."
"Congratulations, Host, on acquiring a Skill Conversion Card."
"Congratulations, Host, on acquiring a Hacker Skill Book."
At the last prize, a Hacker Skill Book, he felt a bit comforted in his heart—it was, at least, a skill book.
He checked out the Skill Conversion Card: It allows the host to convert any one of their skills into a brand-new skill. In doing so, the old skill will disappear, and the new skill will be retained.
This item was somewhat useful. Qin Hao stored it in his backpack and then looked at the Hacker Skill Book.
Hacker Skill Book: After studying, one can attain top-level hacker skills.
He immediately clicked to learn it. Being a hacker had always been a mysterious and cool label in his eyes, and he had never thought he'd become one someday.
He still had four hundred achievement points left and chose not to draw again.
Actually, what he most wanted to draw were attribute points, but the odds of drawing attribute points were too small; he had only drawn them once since he started participating in the lucky draws.
He booted up his computer and logged into the chat software. Gazing at the virtually empty friends list, he couldn't help but sneer.
Nowadays, he had no more than twenty friends, among which only Du Wanrou and Xia Qing would frequently chat.
Having been blocked by Du Wanrou, Xia Qing was the only one who would usually initiate a chat with him.
He sent Xia Qing a message, "Have you eaten?"
But Xia Qing did not reply for a long time, and with nothing better to do, Qin Hao ultimately resumed working on mathematical mock exam papers.
...
Sunday morning
Qin Hao woke up a little after seven and, having eaten breakfast, said to his mother, "Mom, I've got something to do and need to head out. I may not be back for lunch."
Mrs. Qin said, "Hmm, okay, be careful outside. Do you need money?"
Qin Youguo said irritably, "You're spoiling him too much, not even asking what he's going out for."
Turning her head towards Qin Youguo, Mrs. Qin said, "Our son is grown up and has his own thoughts. Besides, he's under so much pressure from all the reviewing; it's good for him to relax a bit sometimes. Oh, and son, remember to bring back two roast ducks."
"Right, remember to buy two roast ducks."
...
Qin Hao quickly left home, surprised that his parents still remembered the roast duck matter.
Once out of the residential area, he took out his phone and called Li Bao.
The call connected quickly, and Li Bao's voice came through from the other end, "Hao, you looking for me?"
Qin Hao asked, "Where are you and Fatty right now?"
Li Bao replied, "Fatty and I are near the pool hall."
"Great, I have something to discuss with you both. Wait for me there for a bit."
After hanging up, Qin Hao headed towards Xinghui Pool Hall. En route, he passed a Xuan Country Development Bank.
He entered the bank and, using the intelligent machine, opened a Development Bank account, then deposited twenty-five thousand yuan.
It took about ten minutes to get the card, and on his way to the pool hall, he linked the bank card to his mobile payment app.
In the age of mobile internet, mobile payments had become extremely popular, making it convenient to pay for taxis, food, hotels, and much more directly from one's phone.
When Qin Hao arrived at Xinghui Pool Hall, two people were standing at the entrance. Seeing Qin Hao, their faces showed a hint of shock as they respectfully greeted, "Brother Hao."
These people had witnessed Qin Hao's terrifying prowess the day before – taking on more than a dozen men without as much as a scratch, which was something close to a monstrous existence.
But that wasn't what they feared most; what truly intimidated them was Luo Hao's ruthlessness, crippling Wang Qiang without a second thought.
Wang Qiang was still lying in the hospital, his hand, even if it were to heal, would likely suffer complications.
Qin Hao gave a smile and nodded. He recognized the two men as Li Bao's subordinates, "Wang Hong, Zheng Tai, right?"
Wang Hong and Zheng Tai were somewhat taken aback that Qin Hao knew their names, flattered, "We didn't expect Brother Hao to remember us. Please come in, Bao and Fat Brother are waiting for you inside."
Walking into the pool hall, he saw that there wasn't a soul inside as it had not opened for business. Li Bao and Kang Youyi were sitting on chairs waiting for him.
As he entered, Li Bao and Kang Youyi quickly rose from their seats, "Brother Hao, you've arrived."
Qin Hao walked over, and Kang Youyi promptly moved a chair towards him, "Have a seat, Brother Hao."
Qin Hao said with a smile, "Let's not be too formal. Why haven't you opened for business today?"
Li Bao explained, "Fatty plans to rent out this pool hall and open another one beside Golden Bright KTV."
Qin Hao nodded subtly. The foot traffic here indeed couldn't compare with that near Golden Bright KTV, and not much money was being made.
Golden Bright KTV's vicinity was the prime area of Yonghe Street, crowded with people, and opening a more upscale pool hall there would definitely be better.
Qin Hao then inquired, "The rent there must be expensive, right? Does Fatty have enough money?"
Li Bao said with a smile, "Brother Hao, you don't know yet, but we call the shots on Yonghe Street now.
All those KTVs and bars have been taken over, and this is the money we've got left after splitting it. Count it, Brother Hao."
After speaking, Li Bao brought out a black backpack and placed it next to Qin Hao.
