Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Stripping the Wealth Gathering Array

The Sun father and son were planning to open a clothing store, and the relocation of the Celestial Fortune Clothing store had basically no impact on Qin Yun.

Qingwu County First Middle School, on the sports field.

Some classmates were sweating it out on the basketball court, while a young man was running on the track.

"I say, Qin Yun, how can you run like this now?" Zhou Yang panted, watching Qin Yun run lap after lap.

Although it's senior year, physical education classes are still attended as usual. A little exercise amidst intense study is good for relaxing the mind.

And Qin Yun had suddenly developed a liking for running.

Previously, his physical condition was average; he couldn't handle running a thousand meters. But now, even after running two thousand meters, he felt nothing and instead felt completely relaxed and comfortable.

"The more you run, the more you can run." Qin Yun said with a smile.

But inside, he was quite pleased.

"With the activation of the Wealth Gathering Array, my physical condition is indeed improving constantly."

The intensity of high school studies is high, with students basically sitting at their desks from seven in the morning until night. No one's physical condition is particularly strong.

His previous physical condition could only be considered average.

Now, with running, he could feel his body becoming more and more energetic, filled with power.

"By this time tomorrow, the new store will probably have opened." Qin Yun thought while running.

It was already the 31st, and by noon tomorrow, the Wealth System would update, and a second Level-One Wealth Gathering Array would appear!

After running another lap, Qin Yun stopped.

"Classmate, are you a senior?" Just then, a tall and strong man in his thirties walked over.

"Yes." Qin Yun nodded, looking at the man. He should be the physical education teacher.

"My name is Ma Zhiyuan. I'm in charge of training sports students. I've seen you run twice, and you maintain an even pace even running three kilometers, without reaching your limit. I think you're suited for long-distance running. Would you be interested in some training after the college entrance exam?" Ma Zhiyuan said excitedly, with a slight gleam of excitement in his eyes.

"Unexpectedly, I accidentally found a good candidate for long-distance running."

He had been dealing with sports students for years, and the speed at which Qin Yun was running would exhaust other long-distance runners, but Qin Yun seemed to do it easily.

"Long-distance running?" Qin Yun was taken aback.

"Yes, if your grades are good, I can take you to the city for competitions." Ma Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Maybe you'll bring back a medal, and there's a prize too."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in long-distance running." Hearing Ma Zhiyuan's words, Qin Yun shook his head and declined without hesitation.

"Classmate." Ma Zhiyuan wanted to say something more.

But Qin Yun turned to Zhou Yang and said, "Let's go."

He strode off into the distance.

Seeing this scene, Ma Zhiyuan had no choice but to give up.

"What a promising student."

His face was full of regret.

...

"Qin Yun, who would have thought a sports coach would take an interest in you?"

Meanwhile, Zhou Yang was extremely excited and said, "I think you can definitely go compete and maybe win a gold medal."

"I already said I'm not interested." Qin Yun said helplessly.

It was unexpected that after the first tempering by the Wealth System, he'd gain the attention of a sports coach while running.

But indeed, he had no interest in running; his mind was completely focused on the Wealth System.

...

"Yun, today at the wholesale market, I saw Sun Yadong."

Coming to the store in the evening, Qin Xuan saw him and quickly said.

Her face clearly carried a trace of anger as she said, "I did some digging. He was buying wholesale clothes there, and the styles he bought are the same as ours."

Qin Yun pondered for a moment and said, "It seems he's planning to open his own clothing store."

Going to buy clothes wholesale, the purpose is obvious.

"Definitely. There are many examples online of unscrupulous landlords seeing their tenants doing well, only to drive them away and start the business themselves." Qin Xuan was obviously very angry, her voice changing slightly.

"Who would have thought we'd encounter one so shortly after opening the store."

The store had been open for over half a month, completely consuming their effort, but after tonight, it wouldn't belong to them.

The thought that their business might face a huge impact made her angrier and angrier.

"Don't worry, big sister. Tomorrow marks a new beginning. With luck on our side, wherever we go, good fortune follows. Tomorrow, both stores will surely be bustling." Qin Yun, however, remained calm and smiled.

Hearing his words, Qin Xuan could only nod and say, "Let's hope so."

"Huh? Qin Yun?"

While the two were talking, a surprised voice suddenly sounded, and a girl from afar approached.

"Xiao Lan." Seeing who it was, Qin Yun was taken aback, then smiled.

Unexpectedly, he ran into a classmate here.

Xiao Lan came over and looked at Qin Yun, then at the Celestial Fortune Clothing store, and curiously asked, "Qin Yun, is this clothing store run by your family?"

She had heard from Zhou Yang that Qin Yun had opened a store, but since Qin Yun didn't want to talk much about it, she didn't know its location.

She was out for a walk tonight and happened to see it.

"Yes." Qin Yun nodded.

"Then I'll have to drop by more often to support your business." She glanced at the store and giggled.

In response, Qin Yun joked a bit, "Today, the store is here. Tomorrow, it will be at another place."

He pointed to a nearby clothing store that was obviously not yet open.

...

Meeting Xiao Lan was just an episode; as the night grew, the street became less crowded.

A little after 8 p.m., Celestial Fortune Clothing stopped doing business, and Qin Yun and others began moving clothes to the adjacent shop.

The new store was only seven shops away, just a few steps.

The old shop was almost cleared out, and with some effort, it was completely empty.

The final step was to take down the Celestial Fortune Clothing sign.

But before they took it down, Sun Yadong arrived, having hired several small cars loaded with clothes.

Sun Yadong was opening the store tomorrow, so he couldn't hide it any longer.

"Boss Sun seems to be planning to open the store himself?" Looking at Sun Yadong, Qin Yun said calmly.

"Haha, since Boss Qin didn't want to renew the lease, leaving the store idle would be a waste. So, I might as well do some business." Sun Yadong laughed, instructing the workers to quickly move the clothes inside.

"Dad."

At this moment, a young man suddenly walked over.

"Huh, Qin Yun, you're here too?" The young man, upon reaching Sun Yadong's side and seeing Qin Yun, seemed very surprised.

"Sun Jianqiang." Seeing the person, Qin Yun's face slightly darkened.

Sun Jianqiang turned out to be Sun Yadong's son. Upon learning this, Qin Yun quickly guessed that the astronomical rent could have something to do with Sun Jianqiang, given their less-than-friendly relationship.

He didn't believe Sun Jianqiang would "coincidentally" appear here at this time.

"Jianqiang, you and Qin Yun are…" Sun Yadong asked "curiously."

"Dad, Qin Yun and I are high school classmates." Sun Jianqiang said with a smile.

"Oh, Qin Yun, with this connection, you should have mentioned it earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn't have charged so much rent." Sun Yadong said, tapping his head, looking regretful.

"Why don't we discuss the rent again?" He said sincerely.

"No need."

Qin Yun was somewhat impressed by Sun Yadong's shamelessness.

Now, as the store was emptied and he rented another clothing store, saying to renegotiate the rent was obviously annoying.

Looking up, the Celestial Fortune Clothing sign had finally been taken down, and at this moment Qin Yun stood silently, with his right hand slightly open.

Buzz…

The entire clothing store in front seemed to ripple slightly, and afterwards, invisible lines appeared.

These lines were invisible to the naked eye, as if merging into the world.

Numerous lines emerged, forming a large array, which quickly contracted and compressed, finally turning into a small point that came to Qin Yun's hand.

Level-One Wealth Gathering Array!

In just an instant, the Level-One Wealth Gathering Array was directly extracted by Qin Yun!
