　　Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

　　Bei Feng gripped the piece of paper tightly in his hands as he proceeded to the police station and filed an official report.

　　After filling out everything, he was informed to go back and await further news.

　　‘I’ve really suffered a huge setback due to my carelessness this time!’

　　Bei Feng heaved a heavy sigh and walked towards the nearest mobile trading shop. There was no point in resetting his old mobile phone since it was such an old model. He might as well get a new one at this point.

　　Luckily, he still had a few tens of thousand yuan on his WeChat account, not yet cashed. Otherwise, he would really be left with just that 5 yuan to his name! If that were to be the case, all his years of hardcore scrounging and saving would have yielded no fruits and he would be reverted back to his state of poverty.

　　“Bam!”

　　Right after buying the new mobile phone and just while he was testing it out, the phone actually exploded in his hands!

　　The corner of Bei Feng’s eyes twitched lightly as he looked at his blackened hands and back again at the salesgirl.

　　“This brother, are you ok? Let me switch a new one for you to test!”

　　The salesgirl who was scared silly hurriedly ran off in a fluster to grab a new phone.

　　She returned extremely quickly, with a new phone and a bucket of water and a towel.

　　She wiped the soot from Bei Feng’s hands anxiously but as she looked at Bei Feng’s palm which only had a few light scratches, her panic quickly turned to astonishment.

　　Luckily, Bei Feng’s body was numerous times stronger than the average person’s, and even the thin membrane under his skin was as tough as the hide of an old cow. Otherwise, a normal person’s hand would already have been blasted until it was full of mangled flesh and blood!

　　“This phone won’t explode right?”

　　Bei Feng asked with some uncertainty as he looked at the new phone in the girl’s hand.

　　The salesgirl looked at Bei Feng’s hand which was still bleeding slightly and saw that he had no intention of blaming her and finally heaved a sigh in relief. “Don’t worry, I guarantee that this one won’t explode! Here, I’ll turn it on for you to see…”

　　The mobile phone’s display lit up and per her demonstration, it ran very smoothly and the functions were explained very clearly to him. As expected of a good brand, there were no problems with it at all. “Alright, I guarantee that this one won’t explode. Here, you can give it a try.”

　　“Bam!”

　　Bei Feng received the phone and after testing it for a bit, pulled out his wallet to pay for it. But just as he was about to complete the transaction, the phone exploded again!

　　Bei Feng had a constipated expression on his face as he looked speechlessly at his blackened hand. “Didn’t you say that this one won’t blow up? What the hell is going on?”

　　The poor salesgirl almost burst into tears on the spot. “I- I don’t know either! Please wait here, I’ll go and call the boss over!”

　　After that, she hurriedly ran off like a panicky squirrel.

　　“Boss, Boss! It’s a catastrophe!”

　　She ran over to the back of the store where a fatty sat, smoking leisurely.

　　“Calm down, look at how flustered you are! How unbecoming…”

　　Jin Bifu leaned back against the chair and took a sip of a specially brewed tea directly from a Yixing teapot as he replied lightly. [ED/N: Teapot made from Yixing clay, apparently fancy stuff]

　　Looking at this scene, the salesgirl could not help but raise her eyebrows in admiration. As expected of a store owner–such a level of nonchalance and calm is not something that normal employees like her could achieve!

　　In that moment, even the originally panicky salesgirl was being infected by his calm attitude as she slowly explained the situation. “Boss, there’s a customer out front who came to buy a mobile phone, but as luck would have it, two of the phones were problematic and actually exploded in his hands, hurting the customer!”

　　“What?! Quick, bring me to him!”

　　It was a mystery how the fat boss was able to move so agilely, but he got to his feet in one swift motion and arrived before the salesgirl as though his chair had caught on fire, causing her to blink her eyes repeatedly in shock.

　　Seeing the girl stare back at him dumbly, he shook his head and rushed to the front of the store in a hurry, the fat around his body jiggling in a wave-like motion.

　　At this point, the salesgirl finally reacted and hurried behind him.

　　“Boss, this is the customer.”

　　The salesgirl pointed at Bei Feng and said.

　　“Gulp!”

　　Watching the expressionless Bei Feng with his two bloody hands, Jin Bifu felt his heart drop as his brows instantly became covered in sweat.

　　‘That’s it! I’m going to pay in blood this time!’

　　This gloomy thought flashed through Jin Bifu’s mind as soon as he finished accessing the situation.

　　“Dear customer! I really do apologize for this! Let’s go to the hospital first and we can talk about the matter of your compensation there! Don’t worry, this incident happened in my shop, so I will definitely take responsibility for this to the end!”

　　Jin Bifu hurried forward and bowed sincerely towards Bei Feng.

　　Seeing this, Bei Feng nodded his head lightly. This boss had pretty good business ethics. At least he had a great sense of responsibility.

　　The wounds on Bei Feng’s palms were actually nothing to be concerned about. It only looked frightening because of the soot and blood. Under Bei Feng’s control, the blood had stopped flowing long ago. With his recovery abilities, the scratches would be completely healed in a few days.

　　“There’s no hurry to go to the hospital. Help me pick out a new mobile phone first.”

　　Jin Bifu saw that Bei Feng was not joking when he said that, and his panic began to deepen instead. ‘Maybe this fellow values money more than his life?’

　　He turned around and nodded his head at the salesgirl, indicating for her to comply. Very quickly, she brought another brand-new phone and held it before Bei Feng.

　　She tested it carefully for a while and after ensuring that there were no problems with it, she passed the phone to Jin Bifu to check. ‘This brand of mobile phones had never had any issues before, so the same situation repeating should be impossible!’ He thought.

　　After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he finally passed the phone to Bei Feng.

　　This time, Bei Feng did not dare to hold it in his hands. Instead, he left it on the counter and swiped its screen with his finger.

　　“Bam!”

　　Not even 5 seconds had passed before the phone exploded again in a ball of fire!

　　Both Jin Bifu and the salesgirl leaped backwards like a pair of startled cats. Jin Bifu started to curse aloud. “F*ck his grandma! That b*stard actually dared sell me problematic phones and fool me!”

　　Bei Feng had already suspected and prepared himself for this scenario and quickly retracted his hands in time. However, a large, fist-sized hole had appeared in the counter, faint greenish smoke was rising out of it continuously.

　　“F*ck! This model of phone actually exploded three times in a row! Salesgirl, I want a refund!”

　　“What?! I bought this model from here a few days ago! I also want a refund!”

　　A small crowd had gathered around the shop. Those customers who had purchased the same model immediately demanded a refund, while a few others wanted to go back and bring their phones back for a refund. The others were mostly there to watch a show.

　　‘D*mnit! Today is not a good time to buy a phone. Forget it, I’ll come back tomorrow after the curse is lifted.’

　　Bei Feng felt extremely aggrieved in his heart. That stupid fox wouldn’t even let him buy a phone!

　　As he turned to leave, Jin Bifu immediately started to panic. “Handsome Bro, let me take you to the hospital!”

　　“There’s no need, I’ll come back tomorrow to buy the phone.”

　　Bei Feng waved with a slight smile.

　　Jin Bifu swallowed nervously before he realized that Bei Feng truly did not intend to pursue the matter. ‘Holy sh*t! What a nice person!’

　　His hands were injured to that extent but not only did he not demand a compensation, he even wanted to come back tomorrow and give him the business! Jin Bifu suddenly felt that there were indeed some good people left in the world. His faith in humanity was completely restored in that moment.

　　He decided that when Bei Feng came back tomorrow, he would definitely give him a huge discount!

　　Looking at the multitude of people in front of his store and those screaming for a refund, Jin Bifu compared them with the saintly Bei Feng and suddenly felt extremely disgusted with these petty hecklers.

　　“Xiao Fan Zi! What the hell were those sets of phones you sold me?! Just now, a customer came to my shop and three phones exploded in his hands!

　　D*mnit, those blood-soaked hands… even your Granddaddy here was scared out of his wits just looking at it! Listen, if you don’t take them back, I’ll never forget this grievance between us!”

　　After settling the hecklers with much effort, the first thing Jin Bifu did was to make a call to his supplier and scream into the phone until his anger was completely vented.

　　Bei Feng checked into a hotel and lay on the bed exhausted. He did not dare to go back before the 24 hours were up. After calming himself down, he began to wash the blood and dirt off his hands.

　　The wounds on his palms had already closed, and as long as he did not overexert himself, the wounds would not reopen easily.
