Taking advantage of the moment during the lightning when the landlord would shrink back briefly, Xiao Lan took out the 【Holy nun’s heart】 which he had gotten in an exchange with Wang Taidi.
As long as it wasn’t an injury as severe as a broken limb, 【Holy nun’s heart】could heal anything.
After activating the item’s effect, a radiant, light gold layer covered Xiao Lan’s wounds with a warm and gentle sensation. In the wake of the gold light, his bleeding wounds recovered at a visible speed.
Early, when he had been fending off the landlord’s attack with difficulty, Xiao Lan had almost used 【You’re so broke you make me laugh】 to escape.
Unfortunately, there was still some time left before daybreak. Even if he managed to escape for the time being, it couldn’t guarantee his safety. This item sounded very derisive, but was in fact very powerful and still best left for when he was on the brink of death.
Thankfully, after spending a bit of time, he finally found the landlord’s weakness.
Xiao Lan put away 【Holy nun’s heart】 and stood up, looking at the landlord’s haggard face. “Did you have fun hitting me just now? It’s my turn now.”
The landlord still didn’t understand how serious the situation was, or where this guy whom he had been suppressing got his self-confidence. So what if his injuries were healed? He was still helpless.
Could he have turned stupid from the beating?
Because he didn’t know if Luo was afraid of electric shocks, Xiao Lan placed the black cat on the floor on the side.
As he walked towards the landlord, he activated his ability.
【Name: Poverty is unable to restrict my imagination】
【Ability: Hundred thousand volts】
【Remaining time: 00:04:59】
Instantly, dangerous-looking electricity flickered over Xiao Lan’s skin. At the same time, one could audibly hear the crackle of lightning, and he looked like a deity wielding a thunderbolt.
The electricity gave the landlord a strong sense of danger.
He immediately saw that the situation didn’t look good, and two bright rays of silver light shot out of his grey eye one after another to attack Xiao Lan and stop him from getting closer.
But the tables had turned.
That incredibly sharp silver light which had forced Xiao Lan to cut a sorry figure as he dodged it was now like a bunch of ordinary light rays when it touched the electricity that currently covered Xiao Lan; it was gobbled up by the electricity and didn’t cause any harm at all.
The landlord immediately widened his eyes in astonishment. “You! How is that possible…”
Just a moment ago, this ridiculously broke person had been completely helpless when dealing with him; how did he suddenly transform in such a short period of time?!
Xiao Lan didn’t want to waste time speaking nonsense with him at all; the important thing was that he only had five minutes and couldn’t waste it on speaking nonsense.
He lifted a hand towards that large face that made one lose their appetite, and snapped his fingers.
Snap.
At the crisp finger snap, a bolt of electricity shot towards the landlord.
The landlord was about to flee when he saw that the situation didn’t look good, but the electric bolt was extremely quick, and had already reached him before he could move, striking him in the forehead.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
With a ‘chi’, a scorch mark appeared on the forehead of the projection-looking landlord.

The landlord glared at Xiao Lan angrily and was about to make some villainous declaration. However, the guy in front of him unexpectedly didn’t follow the script, and with a snap, snap, snap, three bolts of lightning darted over to hit his face again.
“Tbe! Gjwc la!!” Vqbgalcu obeg mtjggfv wjgxr, atf ijcvibgv tbkifv oeglberis.

Xiao Lan let loose another bolt of electricity which collided with the red light, but half of it was unexpectedly cancelled out. In the end, the landlord was only burnt slightly.
“Hmph.” The landlord sneered coldly.
Seeing this, Xiao Lan frowned.
With this counterbalance, the landlord might be able to draw this situation out for a very long time, but Xiao Lan himself only had five minutes. Also, it seemed that the landlord’s current state couldn’t be maintained for long, so whoever lost this fight would die.
Could this be a battle between two men over who could last longer?
Xiao Lan, who had less than five minutes left…
Ah, pei! Five minutes will never concede!!
Xiao Lan’s gaze turned serious. This was a battle of dignity. As a man, one couldn’t lose when it came to endurance.
If he couldn’t win by just relying on his current state, just use a physical method to break the other’s endurance.
Xiao Lan took out 【Unnamed little friend’s piggy bank】 and took out a couple of coins. Holding them in his palm, he let the electricity circulating over his body flow into the coins.
Xiao Lan aimed at the landlord with serious eyes. “Ready?”
Following that, Xiao Lan tossed out one coin. The electricity which the coin could carry was much greater than just throwing out an electric bolt. Bright lightning cut through the air, lighting up the environment in its wake.
“AH —”
Before the landlord could react, the coin was already flying at him. It swept flickers of dense and solid lightning along with it, and forcibly burned a patch of the landlord’s large face black!
Xiao Lan had thrown the coin very hard, and this coin flashing with electricity was already deeply embedded in the wall.
The landlord was still trembling from the lightning, when he saw Xiao Lan raise a hand to throw another coin, and he hurriedly teleported away.
The moment the landlord teleported away, three coins carrying resplendent electricity ruthlessly slammed into the wall, leaving charred black marks on it.
Seeing this scene, the landlord’s ghost face looked even paler.
The ghost face began shuttling endlessly between the walls, ceiling, and floor as it tried to hamper Xiao Lan’s judgement and avoid his attacks.
Seeing the ghost face all over the place, Xiao Lan lightly tossed the coin he was holding up and down. “Thank you for your care during this time. Please accept the rent.”
As he said the words, lightning struck in unbroken succession as Xiao Lan swiftly threw out coins.
It was one yuan, but it was as if Xiao Lan was throwing out money and riches.
He probably had never ever thought that there would be a day that he would use money to beat someone up.
Lightning intertwined in the corridor into an electric web, and the landlord was the prey caught in the web with nowhere to run.
He dodged and evaded Xiao Lan’s pursuit until he was battered and exhausted.
Each time he teleported to a new location, Xiao Lan would attack in a flash, and he sometimes even anticipated where the landlord would teleport to and blocked the way with electricity so that the landlord was unable to change locations.
In a handful of breaths, the finely woven electric web had burned the landlord’s entire face black. Someone who didn’t know what was going on might think that this ghost had carelessly touched something with high voltage when he was alive, and died from it.
Just as the landlord was about to teleport to a new location, he suddenly realised that his surroundings were already covered with coins flickering with lightning.
He already had nowhere to run.
Xiao Lan gave his prey a smile. “Goodbye, Mr Landlord.”
The next second, a bolt of lightning stronger than any of the ones before shot out from Xiao Lan’s hand and lit up the corridor so brightly that one couldn’t open their eyes. It carried despairing and majestic might, and directly pierced the landlord and the wall he was on.
After the smoke and dust settled, all that remained in the corridor was a mess, as if ten of thousands of huskies had been let out to joyfully tear about.
The landlord had disappeared. Who knew if he had died or fled. In any case, this guy could no longer prevent Xiao Lan from clearing the game.
“Huu…” Xiao Lan let out a soft sigh of relief.
Though it had been very fun beating the landlord up, notifications of his poverty value decreasing had popped up continually during the fight, so his joy had been mixed with unspeakable pain.
After a rough calculation, he had lost about 100,000 poverty value.
While he already had tens of millions in poverty value, in the pursuit of poverty, a person’s desire knew no bounds.
The joy of spending money recklessly was, as expected, still something a broke person like him couldn’t enjoy…
The night sky was growing lighter, and daybreak probably wasn’t far away. Xiao Lan was planning to dig Luo out from the mess on the ground, when he saw a bit of red out of the corner of his eye.
A familiar-looking little red ball quietly rolled to his side.
Xiao Lan lifted his head and realised that some of the neighbours who had blocked the stairs had appeared yet again. It was the mother and daughter, the pregnant woman, and the couple.
The mother and daughter were still holding hands and standing there with their heads lowered.
The pregnant woman was still drenched all over, and stood in a puddle that smelled of laundry detergent.
The couple were lying in a pool of blood, malicious smiles on their bloodstained faces.
They seem to be taking advantage of the moment when Xiao Lan was physically exhausted from a big fight to teach him how to be a person; truly a group of good and steadfast new-age neighbours.
The little friend’s soft voice rang out. “Big brother, can you help me pick up the ball?”
Girlfriend: “Darling, let’s send him down this time, alright~”
Boyfriend: “Baby, I’ll listen to you~”
Looking at this little ball that seemed to be provoking him, Xiao Lan looked at his skill time and saw that he still had 50 seconds left, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly.
50 seconds is enough for all of you to experience the joy of poverty.
Electricity appeared once more, and Xiao Lan reached out to pick up the small ball. There was a layer of crackling electricity between him and the ball, so this couldn’t be considered as him directly touching the ball.
The little friend with the lowered head stiffened for a moment. Why do you still have electricity?!
Moreover, her little ball unexpectedly didn’t come into effect?
Sensing that something was wrong, she immediately hid behind her mother, and even pulled on her.
The pregnant woman originally planned to step forward, but when she saw her teammate’s strange behaviour, she pulled back the water stain that was heading towards Xiao Lan.
But the couple who seemed to have pretty bad brains was still rushing forward. Their limbs in the pool of blood scuttled over the ground towards Xiao Lan.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Lan locked onto the couple. It’ll be you guys.
The next instant, the little ball attacked the couple as fast as lightning. Exaggerated lightning covered its surface, making it look just like a giant lightning artillery shell.
The couple finally noticed that something was wrong. This combat strength didn’t look like leftover dregs after a big fight…
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Under the couple’s stupefied gazes, this lightning ball crashed into them with imposing ruthlessness.
“Boom —”
With a brilliant flash, their entire bodies were covered in electricity, and they were smashed into pieces in their pool of blood. Their limbs were scattered about, like toy figures that had been taken apart.
“Darling, you can’t die, I can’t lose you…”
“Baby, even if I die, I’ll still love you…”
The main perpetrator of it all, Xiao-single-dog-Lan: “…”
Wake up. You’re both already so dead you can’t die any more.
The author has something to say:
Smashing money little theater:
Overbearing president: Five million, get out of my sight.
Xiao Lan: One yuan, get out of my sight.
Hahaha the couple is just so-
XL is so OP! Luo! You have to be stronger!
Thanks for the chapter~
Of course Luo is the first priority (◍•ᴗ•◍)
Thank you for the chapter!!! ❤️❤️
It’s okay Xiao Lan, soon you’ll be the one throwing dog food at single people.
Yep, can’t wait for it to happen! 😂
+1
Thank you for translating! <3
ONE YUAN, ALL IN CASH
Thanks for the chapter! ^^)
This chapter made me giggle so much! xD
Dont worry, you can continue to destroy property in the next instance and be even more broke lolThank you for protecting our Luo, we are grateful on his behalf!Thanks for the chapter <3
Ahahahaha, so good xDD That couple is really stupid and so damn annoying xD
Thx for the ch (≧▽≦)/
I’m 90% sure the snapping was an FMA reference
My boy Xiao Lan is strong 🥺 Thanks for the chapter.
I’m a bit confused, so, 1 yuan coin from piggy bank thrown out doesn’t make him poorer, instead it decreased his poverty value? then that also mean his power decreased? that’s the reason Xiao Lan feel pained to throw the coin? 😂😂
Yes. Destroying things means gaining debts therefore his poverty rises. Using money means decreasing debts or decreasing financial instability therefore his poverty drops
wheezing like crazy the one yuan- Xiao-single-dog-Lan, one yuan, get out of my sight F0Ck I CAN’T HE IS SO RIDICULOUS 😂
