Life Changing System

Chapter 127 Going Into A Coffee Shop

That Saturday morning, Bai Chen helped his parents with preparations at their shop as usual before leaving.

His destination today was to follow the direction in which the green arrow of Mission 21 was pointing.

Clearly, he chose to complete Mission 21 first, which was to ‘create a debt of gratitude’.

The destination pointed to by the green arrow seemed quite far, so he took a cab.

Riding in a taxi for such a long distance definitely costs quite a sum of money. Bai Chen would not have been able to afford it before this.

But now, he had one million yuan in his pocket. He had already taken out 20,000 yuan to spend.

Bai Chen had gotten this large sum of money thanks to the Life Changing System, as well as the necklace of fortune, and Long Xu In, who had lent him the money to start him off at the casino.

If it were not for them, he would not have made these one million yuan, even if he had dedicated his entire life to work.

Inside the cab, Bai Chen sat beside the driver quietly. He stared distractedly out the window.

The driver was a middle-aged man with a huge belly. His face was decorated with a large amount of sweat. Though the interior of the car was air-conditioned, that did not stop his sweat from pouring out.

There were two reasons for this. One was the extremely hot weather that day. Bai Chen had checked the temperature before he left the house and had seen that it was as high as 34 degrees Celsius.

The second reason was certainly because of the middle-aged man’s size. Most chubby people usually sweat more than regular people.

“The weather is really hot today,” the big-bellied middle-aged man said. He wiped his face with a towel he had hanging around his neck. “Don’t you think so, young man?”

Bai Chen turned to look at him and nodded slightly. “It’s really very hot today.”

The middle-aged man smiled before telling him a lot more things in a bragging fashion. He seemed talkative. Most taxi drivers were like that. They loved to tell stories to their passengers.

Bai Chen listened to the middle-aged man boast. He felt quite amused. The driver reminded him of his friends back in prison. They were just like this big-bellied middle-aged man; talkative, blabbering on about nonsensical things all day long.

Thirty minutes flew by in a flash. The taxi parked at the entrance of a large business district.

Bai Chen paid and got out. At the same time, his eyes looked at a huge sign at the entrance. It said...

‘Xing Wei Business District’

That was the name of this business district. Compared to the Xing Seng business district, this place was much larger.

‘I never thought it was going to be the Xing Wei business district.’ Bai Chen did not expect that saving a person from an assassin would occur around this business district.

He was from Xing Zhou. Naturally, he had visited Xing Wei business district before. It had not been too often, but he had been here, so he was familiar with it.

Bai Chen swept his eyes around and saw some cars traveling past. The entrance was filled with people walking in and out. It was 10 in the morning.

“The place that the arrow pointed to is there?” Bai Chen kept opening up Mission 21’s window all the time, so he saw where the green arrow was pointing. It ended at a coffee shop. It was of a brand he did not recognize.

Bai Chen looked with his brows furrowed into a knot. His face showed confusion. He did not understand why the green arrow stopped in front of that coffee shop, which was too far off.

If he had to walk there, it was about twenty steps to get there.

However, Bai Chen did not want to go in yet because he was still confused. He looked down while considering this issue thoroughly.

At that moment, he remembered something. It was highly possible that the coffee shop was going to be the place the assassin would strike.

That must be it. There was no way it was something other than that.

“Then I should be waiting inside,” Bai Chen said to himself before closing the Life Changing System’s transparent window.

Since the mission’s instructions did not go into specifics, the only thing he could do was wait. Even though he had no idea when this thing was going to happen.

Bai Chen walked towards the coffee shop but did not enter. He walked to the side of the shop, which was a tiny alley. It was a secret space that could not be seen easily.

In an instant, his face and body transformed. He transformed from his 18-year-old self into his 30-year-old self.

The reason he had to transform himself was that he wanted to look mature and reliable when he helped the person that the mission pinpointed from the assassin.

The transformation did not affect the clothes he was wearing right now at all, because his 30-year-old body was quite thin.

After having used his thousand-face skill to change into his 30-year-old self, Bai Chen walked out of the alley, turned, and entered the coffee shop quickly.

“Welcome, sir.”

As soon as he opened the door, a voice from a female staff member rang out to welcome him.

Bai Chen nodded. He walked over to sit at a table close to a mirrored wall so he could see the outside of the shop.

He chose this spot purely because he would be able to see things clearly. He could then react promptly when the assassin attacked the person specified by the mission.

He sat down for less than a minute before a female shop employee handed him a menu.

Bai Chen accepted the menu. A cursory glance showed the prices of each type of coffee were affordable; he ordered a cappuccino and a piece of cake.

The female employee walked away with the menu.

Bai Chen was waiting quietly. Inside the shop, other than himself and three female employees, there was nobody else. Bai Chen did not think this was odd, though.

Most customers visited coffee shops early in the morning, around 7 to 8 a.m.

As for this time until nightfall. this was probably was the period where customers came and went. Customers came at every period of time until the shop closed.

Whether there were a lot or a few customers depended on the day of the week, too.

After a short time, the coffee and the cake Bai Chen ordered were served. At the same time, a few customers entered the shop.

Bai Chen’s gaze was on the window to the outside street. His hand held on to the steaming hot coffee. The smell of cappuccino could be detected.

He blew on it a little to cool it down before sipping it in a relaxed manner.
