"Our profit today is quite good." Zhang Qin Feng returned home with 400 dollars extra today. It was considered quite a good result as that was about 10% profit from what he has.
[Dear user, please plug the processor on your desktop computer. I will need to download a modify some software before we can start mining]
Stein said. Opening the Dimensional Store System to access the eight spaces he had, Zhang Qin Feng took the piece of electronic out. A unique connector head is automatically selected when it was placed closer to the hardware's connection point.
"What kind of connector is that? To think that it could connect to the device in my world without a problem." Zhang Qin Feng released his hand holding the processor and allowed it to automatically load.
A hologram panel soon came up in a flash with some numbers. Following that is a screen on the computer, where files are getting solved at high speed. The speed of solving then rewards Zhang Qin Feng with a digital currency in the form of coins.
[Toot]

[We have successfully solved one block of the puzzle program in six minutes. The system will now adjust to power-saving mode while slowly increasing the efficiency rate. The estimated electrical bill will be 485 dollars at the end of the month]
"Stein! Wait. What's with the sudden influx of electrical cost?" Zhang Qin Feng was shocked by the fact the bill for his electricity will increase tenfold. Although he has a rough idea about digital mining, he's not ready to fork out such a hefty cost for now before knowing if it's a profitable investment or not.
[This is our breakeven point for now. Of course, one of the reasons behind this was the low market value of the digital currency. Like keeping the physical gold in hand until its value is appreciated, this digital currency will be a worthwhile investment in the future]
-
[Would the user like to proceed?]
-
Stein asked. Although it was efficient and able to logically deduce the market trend, the decision still eventually came to Zhang Qin Feng's hand. What worrying Zhang Qin Feng was not about the possibility of this investment ended up as a flop, but because of something else.
It was because if he recklessly uses this kind of power supply for months, he'll eventually become a suspect of illegal activities wanted by the government official.
Confused and unsure whether to proceed or not, a phone call came in and interrupted him before he managed to make a decision.
"Hello?" Zhang Qin Feng answered the phone call. It was not a saved number in his contact list.
"Should I bring you something from my restaurant? I can be at your place before 10pm. Do you like spicy food? How about I pack you half a roast duck so we can enjoy it together at night with some beer?" Wang Yufei asked him through the phone.
"Ah, Yufei… Up to you. My place has some beer, so you won't need to buy anything when you come up. But… My room is a little untidy. I hope you won't mind." Zhang Qin Feng embarrassedly replied as he looked around his room.
It was indeed a room for a single bachelor without luck with the ladies. There was a hint of man's smell all over the room. On the wall were a few posters of models in a bikini swimsuit. The further it goes, the lesser is the fabric is on the models.
What was worst is that the posters are not removable. It was not because they're stuck on the wall with permanent glue, but because if it was taken off, the wall would end up looking like a graffiti wall full of stains and paint marks.
Zhang Qin Feng scratched his head for unable to find a proper solution to this matter. And unknown of what motivates him to make this decision, Zhang Qin Feng whispered to Stein.
'About when can we expect a profit from mining all those digital currencies?' he was curious. What if the digital currency never manages to rise up into being used? Won't that be equal to him investing over 6,000 dollars for nothing?
[If the system were to make an estimation, half a year later would be the earliest date for the digital currency to enter the market. Like physical gold, the system is confident that the market will go crazy when the hype is here]
'Then let's do it. There's no point for me to be afraid since my fee was mainly in the electricity and time spent." Zhang Qin Feng nodded at the computer's screen. And after receiving his approval, the processor continued.
Right at 10pm sharp, a knock on the door came into his quiet studio.
Upon opening the door, a beautiful smile is standing outside, waiting to greet him. There was a slight blush on the cheek of the owner behind the smile.
"I've brought you some rice too. Should I get them open so we can eat together while we're talking?" Wang Yufei said. It seems that the posters on the wall were not a distraction to her.
Of course, that's because Wang Yufei is heavily stacked in the chest department. Standing before the basin as she moves the food from the container onto the plates, her position allowed Zhang Qin Feng to appreciates the view from Wang Yufei's back.
Two of the top buttons were undone to allow her to breathe easier. Added with a pencil skirt that hugs her bosom beautifully, it made Zhang Qin Feng's heart beating faster. The other member of the Zhang Family happened to be rioting under his pants having his point of view covered.
Turning around and walking over to his computer table, Zhang Qin Feng put his hand out to receive the two plates of food she brought here. As this was the first time she came to his room, it was only proper if Zhang Qin Feng went to get the drinks and cutleries for them to enjoy the food.
He opened the small fridge to bring four cans of beer out. Being a gentleman and opening the beer for Wang Yufei was the least he can do before they started to enjoy the snacks she brought. The two talked about many things, from about themselves to what they've done when younger.
From two can of beer, it went to four and then six. On the fourth, Wang Yufei already started to get tipsy as she relaxed and started to get touchy with Zhang Qin Feng.
Totally have no idea about what she was talking about at this moment, Wang Yufei tried to take something out from her pocket. A box came out together as she pulled a paper out.
"This…" the two of them were staring at the box for a minute before looking at one another. Without words and any action needed, they interlocked in a heated kissing session.
