Chapter 476 - 315: Dating Only Distracts Me From Making Money
Sure, here’s the translation for the text you provided:
In the cramped and dim tenement.
Audrey found several pieces of bread as hard as rocks and a small jar of nearly depleted jam from the cupboard.
She then stuffed them into Lin Lang’s arms, generously saying:
"Hurry up and eat! You must be starving!"
Lin Lang accepted the food, hesitating whether to eat it.
Meanwhile, Audrey had already plopped down on the broken stool directly in front of him!
The stool creaked!
Audrey didn’t seem to notice, her eyes fixed on Lin Lang, and she asked:
"Tell me! Where did you come from, what happened, and how did you end up homeless?"
"Oh!"
Holding the bread, Lin Lang said naturally:
"A friend told me to come here for a good life, but he abandoned me halfway..."
Upon hearing this, Audrey immediately frowned, her face full of indignation, and said:
"How could there be such a friend, it’s truly despicable!"
"Leaving you here alone, not caring whether you live or die! It’s simply too much!"
"Alright! Eat up now! From now on, you’ll follow me, and I won’t let you starve to death!"
As she spoke, she patted her little chest!
Her face was full of a righteous expression!
Lin Lang: "..."
He looked at the hard piece of bread in his hand.
Finally, he took a bite—
With his terrifying physique, he could digest even a screw if he ate one!
Not afraid of getting sick at all!
...
Lin Lang ate slowly.
Occasionally chatting with Audrey on the small stool.
Until nightfall!
The tenement became dark and hazy.
"Ah—"
Audrey yawned and stretched her little hand to cover her mouth:
"It’s bedtime."
"Bedtime?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Lang glanced at the room’s only old and fragile bed, asking:
"How are we supposed to sleep?"
Surely, this bed can’t bear two people, right?
Audrey waved her hand freely:
"You sleep here, I’ll squeeze with Aunt Maria."
"Just next door."
"If you get scared, you can call my name loudly, and I’ll come to save you!"
After speaking,
She gave Lin Lang a wink and then went out.
Lin Lang looked at the unique girl’s back, unable to resist a slight smile:
"Quite interesting..."
...
The next morning!
The sunshine hadn’t yet completely dispelled the chill of the slum.
Audrey ran to the room where Lin Lang was sleeping.
She pounded on the door, shouting:
"Hey! Wake up, the sun’s shining on your butt!"
After a while!
She still hadn’t received a response from Lin Lang!
"Really!"
Audrey thought Lin Lang was still sleeping in!
So she frowned slightly!
Directly pushed open the door and walked in briskly:
"Wake up..."
Only to see Lin Lang already standing in the room, fully dressed.
Lin Lang smiled at her:
"Good morning."
Seeing this, Audrey froze slightly—
Yesterday when she met Lin Lang, it was already dusk.
And now with the morning sunlight shining on Lin Lang’s handsome face.
It seemed even clearer and softer!
She thus discovered—
This young man from the East had a special aura about him!
Different from anyone here!
...
After a while, Audrey came to her senses and added:
"It’s not early! Hurry and tidy up, I’ll take you to someone who can arrange work for you."
She walked to the dressing mirror, hastily tidying up her appearance, yet urging Lin Lang:
"Hurry up, don’t dawdle, Grandpa Tom doesn’t have much time!"
Lin Lang helplessly:
"Now it’s me waiting for you, alright?"
Only able to patiently wait for Audrey to finish tidying up and leave the tenement.
...
Along the way!
Audrey, like a tireless little loudspeaker, constantly introduced the bits and pieces of the slum to Lin Lang!
Occasionally greeting passing acquaintances, chatting for a bit.
...
Soon, they arrived at a simple little courtyard.
Inside the courtyard.
An elderly foreign man with gray hair was leisurely sunbathing in a rocking chair.
Audrey walked straight in, saying:
"Grandpa Tom, you’re sunbathing, huh? I brought someone to you, could you please arrange a job for him?"
Grandpa Tom raised his eyes to look at Lin Lang, who stood there calmly.
Then Tom glanced at Audrey, slightly frowning:
"Audrey! It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but how can work be arranged just because it’s requested? I don’t have any suitable work recently!"
Upon hearing it, Audrey pouted and said:
"Grandpa Tom, you can’t say that! You’re quite capable! Surely you can think of something!"
Grandpa Tom closed his eyes:
"I’m an old man who’s been retired for years, what capabilities do I have? Besides, for him to find work, his skills are what matter!"
Audrey continued to plead:
"Grandpa, Lin Lang’s skills are impressive! Just help him!"
Grandpa Tom was amused yet helpless by Audrey’s persistence, turning his gaze to Lin Lang:
"Young man from the East, what skills do you have? Let’s hear them first."
Lin Lang thought for a moment and said:
"I have considerable strength!"
Upon hearing this!
Grandpa Tom chuckled disdainfully:
"What’s the use of being strong? Can anyone be stronger than the Superpower Users?"
But he suddenly noticed Audrey’s angry little eyes!
So he quickly changed his tone:
"Strength is good! If you are strong... you can maintain the security in our residential area!"
"I’ll give you ten gold coins a day; how about it?"
Ten gold coins?
Lin Lang found it amusing—
