My husband and I both have golden fingers.

The news of Xu Luming buying a cow spread through the village like wildfire. At first, seeing the cow's sickly appearance, people thought Xu Luming had been swindled, convinced the animal wouldn't last long. But after the Jiang Family cared for it for a while, the cow grew increasingly vigorous. Unable to contain their curiosity, villagers flocked to see the animal.

*A cow!*

Even the village elder's family might not own one!

Visitors came in droves every day, making the Jiang Family's courtyard more lively than ever before. As Xu Luming himself put it, he felt like the first person in the village to buy a car—and not just any car, but a Rolls-Royce.

Speaking of cars, Xu Luming couldn't resist asking Jiang Xinyi, "Did you used to have a car?" Jiang Xinyi's calm demeanor and patience reeked of corporate life.

Jiang Xinyi didn't mind answering. "Yes."

Hearing Jiang Xinyi mention his life before transmigrating for the first time, Xu Luming's eyes lit up with curiosity. "What kind of car?"

*A college graduate, a white-collar worker, and a car owner—no wonder he's a doctor in this life. He must have been an elite in his previous one.*

Jiang Xinyi looked up. "Too many to count. Which one are you asking about?"

*I really want to compete with you rich people!*

Xu Luming's eyes instantly reddened. He had thought himself lucky to have a Space cheat in this life, but Jiang Xinyi's words made him feel utterly pathetic.

*Two lifetimes of poverty...*

*Even with a cheat, I'm still broke as hell. Haha!*

*I'm so poor, it's almost laughable!*

Rubbing his jealous eyes, Xu Luming made the biggest decision of his life: "I'm going to make money!"

After transmigrating with such a powerful Space cheat, if he still ended up struggling to make ends meet, he'd despise himself.

Jiang Xinyi, who had been scribbling in the pharmacy for the past two days, glanced up at Xu Luming's declaration. "With your Space and the Spirit Spring I gave you, money is nothing but dirt to you."

He stared intently at him and said firmly, "In this world, what you should pursue isn't wealth, but power."

Jiang Xinyi's gaze was so unwavering, so certain, that Xu Luming felt compelled to follow his advice without question.

"Power?" Xu Luming murmured. "Become an official?"

He added dejectedly, "But I'm registered in the military. I can't take the imperial examinations."

Although the Great Chu dynasty hadn't been founded through a military coup, the chaotic era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms had left its mark. In those turbulent times, anyone with a bit of military power could declare themselves emperor. Consequently, after establishing the Great Chu, the dynasty, like the Song, harbored deep distrust towards military commanders.

The Three Great Camps might appear to wield immense authority, but in reality, they possessed only a fraction of true power. Whenever a major army mobilized, civilian officials or eunuchs appointed as "Pacification Commissioners" or "Military Commissioners" would assume command. Meanwhile, the military generals were relegated to the obscure rank of "Commander-in-Chief," serving only as temporary battlefield commanders.

If the campaign succeeded, the glory belonged to the Pacification Commissioners and Military Commissioners. If it failed, the Commanders-in-Chief bore the blame.
