Five-Good Youth

After several days of training, Lu Xingzhi's intelligence has reached the required level, and the system has faithfully removed the evil "business idiot" setting.

Unfortunately, due to the system's unfair terms, he is currently unable to offer any useful advice.

They're clearly upgrading him, but he insists on paving the way himself first, and now they're not even letting him be a foreign aid player, isn't that going too far!

Adhering to the principle of cherishing time and protecting the fruits of hard work, Lin Yehuan only made a couple of complaints before giving up the pointless resistance and pondering for a long time. Currently, it seems that only Su Huaisheng can offer her help in this regard.

So Lin Yehuan invited Jiang Ju to the game center.

Although she had only met Lin Yehuan a few times, and only in photos on the school's official WeChat account, and the two had no interaction in real life, Jiang Ju still readily agreed to meet her and brought Su Huaisheng along.

To be honest, they exchanged contact information because of that most popular post on the forum in the past year—"Come on, that's a genius who published three top-tier journal articles in half a year!"

Jiang Ju is an art student, so academics don't really appeal to her.

However, people in the comments section have been continuously providing photos and stories about Lin Yehuan's life, including one that showed her nearly 10,000 hours of gaming experience.

In addition, the type of game she played highly overlapped with her own, and Jiang Ju was instantly attracted.

Spying on other people's private lives is a terrible thing, Jiang Ju silently repented, but how could there be such a perfect person in the world! Good at studying, successful in his career, helping anyone in need find tutoring jobs, and even playing games with such good taste! If he liked a girl, he would definitely fall in love with her without hesitation.

She secretly observed Lin Yehuan, and Su Huaisheng secretly observed her.

And just like that, she successfully got the goddess's contact information.

Su Huaisheng successfully put himself in a state of constant anxiety, and whenever he felt anxious, he would seek out Lin Yehuan for game tips and the secrets of love.

Lin Yehuan never expected that he, a person completely immune to love, would become someone else's guardian angel of love, and also unwittingly discovered that he had a special section dedicated to dream girls.

I live a life of constant busyness, like a spinning top, but it seems so enjoyable to others. Tsk, I'm just too elegant and perfect.

No wonder every time the college posts a tweet related to her, it gets a huge number of retweets. She thought she was being discussed privately about academic fraud.

None of that matters. As long as it doesn't affect her performance evaluation, it doesn't matter what others want to discuss. It can even help reduce some of her interpersonal burdens. However, it's true that she's afraid to go to public bathhouses ever since.

The two were playing a two-player online game, but one of them, having practiced for half a year, was still too bad at the game and was forced to become the "funny person."

Jiang Ju was stunned by her actions. First, she had never thought that games could be played like this. Second, her smooth operation meant she didn't even need to concentrate. Although she was still holding the controller, it didn't stop her from discussing terms like investment, entrepreneurship, and unicorns with Su Huaisheng.

They can even provide themselves with plenty of emotional value while discussing the topic.

Jiang Ju didn't understand anything they were saying, except for the word "MVP," but it was clearly not the MVP she was familiar with. As a result, her worship of the goddess reached new heights, and her gaze gradually shifted from the screen to Lin Yehuan's eyes, which reflected the screen's brilliance.

"Be careful." Lin Yehuan saw that she was distracted and was operating his controller with one hand, so he placed his other hand on her hand—no, on her controller—to help her dodge the attack.

Jiang Ju vowed never to criticize slow motion in idol dramas again. If it were her, she would have filmed 180 slow-motion shots of that scene.

This was the most reassuring game she had ever played. Jiang Ju was so moved she almost cried. There was no noise at all, and there were always people who could accurately coordinate with your actions and even praise you. This was simply a life like that of a god!

The only drawback was that the deity only stayed with her for one day.

On the way back, Lin Yehuan took advantage of the fact that his memory was still clear to organize the content of today's conversation.

She learned all the policies and requirements for starting a business from reading books and documents in the past two days. Most of the concepts were still only on paper. Su Huaisheng, on the other hand, was the most normal rich second-generation she had ever met during the assessment. He was obviously very familiar with these things.

Lin Yehuan suddenly realized why he seemed so normal—he was real! He was also someone trapped in the system because of relationship problems, only he was kept here by the system as an aid in her assessment task.

As for his convoluted kinship with Lu Xingzhi, it's obviously a result of the system's spoofing and forced "six-person law".

But all these trivial matters didn't matter anymore. Lin Yehuan tapped her head, pulling her wandering thoughts back to the main point: she needed to apply for a startup subsidy and a grant for college student entrepreneurs.

No, she'd misremembered again. These two could only be applied for after business registration. Lin Yehuan closed her laptop and switched to handwriting. Her thoughts instantly became clear again. She needed to first establish a small, self-employed online business to obtain a business license with minimal investment, so she could apply for subsidies later.

She might even need to take out a loan. Who would believe it? She might have to take out a loan for a general education course assessment. If she messes it up, she might have to worry about whether it will affect her credit score in real life.

It's not fun at all. Yesterday I was feeling so rich, after all, it was 200,000 yuan. Now I realize that money isn't really that valuable.

Lin Yehuan opened the system's story mode panel and sighed. It turned out to be another silly leveling-up story. He thought he had been thrown into a period drama about starting a business. How about giving him an unlimited gold coin mode to play with?

We apologize, but this system strictly enforces rules and cheating. Please respect the law and abide by social norms and customs.

The most obvious change after the system upgrade was that it had more and more voice lines and skin textures. The sudden broadcasting voice startled Lin Yehuan so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Look at you, you took a joke seriously. Do you think I'm that kind of person? I'm a model youth with good morals, good grades, good health, good discipline, and good work ethic," Lin Yehuan retorted.

[Fictional content detected. The system has automatically corrected it to: So sleepy, so hot, so hungry, so poor, so annoyed]

"You've really gone too far..." Lin Yehuan walked up the stairs, his eyes darting around as he suddenly remembered something, but he still wanted to save face, so he went inside before putting it into practice.

The floor was still a bit too hard, so Lin Yehuan aimed at the mattress and knelt down with a thud, adopting an upright and unyielding voice as he said, "Activate story mode 'Kneel to become powerful.'"

[Effective]

Sure enough, the money poured into her account balance like water. Watching the number keep increasing, Lin Yehuan nodded in satisfaction. Three minutes passed quite quickly, and the money was paid out very readily. As time went on, the growth rate not only did not slow down, but actually accelerated.

So it seems... she's actually quite valuable, Lin Yehuan thought. It would be great if this story mode could be a permanent feature. However, six million... should be enough.

Surprisingly, this trick actually worked. It saved six months of work, significantly improved the funding, and the system task progress jumped from 0 to 10%. The originally tight deadline was also extended to two months later.

Lin Yehuan contentedly took out several finance books as bedtime reading, skipping over the original plan for online operations and directly conceiving what type of company he wanted to start.

Reselling is definitely not an option. Lin Yehuan thought of those small workshops on WeChat Moments that were recruiting agents all day long. After all, which domineering CEO started his business by selling substandard cotton mattresses?

The Internet? That's a bit too high-tech. Although given Lu Xingzhi's omniscient and omnipotent background, he could definitely do anything without any problems, the issue is that she's the one who starts things, and she's completely clueless about all this. Isn't this ridiculous?

"Aren't you just being ridiculous?"

"What are you two doing kneeling on the ground? I'm canceling the family rule of kneeling to receive punishment."

"Get up right now, don't be so shameless as to think I'll let you two off the hook." Lu Buxiu said, reaching out to pull them down, but unexpectedly he was dragged down to his knees as well.

After three minutes of eye contact, Lu Buxiu was finally helped up. He patted his knees and stubbornly made his way back to his room.

Lu Xingming leaned against the table and rubbed his knees, which were red from being bruised. He paused for a moment and said, "Your brother is getting old. Don't drag me down with you when your legs are weak."

"Don't drag me along when you get scolded in the future."

"Hey, little brother, can you share some of the pain with your brother? My little heart is being tortured to the point of being riddled with holes."

Lu Xingzhi glanced at this "good brother" who had been pitiful one second and switched to business mode the next, picking up documents and answering the phone. He thought to himself that his heart was riddled with holes, but not from others; he had to tear them out himself.

As someone suffering from trypophobia, Lu Xingzhi quickly left the place where the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense.

Perhaps the theories were too hypnotic. Lin Yehuan alternated between reading several biographies of famous entrepreneurs and light novels, but he still inevitably became more and more drowsy.

Thump, thump thump

There was a knock on the door, and Lin Yehuan perked up to open it. Xu Pengpeng would usually come to talk to her at this time, but unfortunately, it was Lu Xingzhi who came this time.

"I have something I'd like to talk to you about. Do you... have time?"

"Yes." Lin Yehuan thought for a moment. She had plenty of time and couldn't wait to chat with him to find some ideas.

"Shall we go to the study?"

“No need,” Lin Yehuan realized that opening the door only a crack might make him feel uncomfortable, so he opened the door wide. “You sit here.”

Lu Xingzhi sat with her at the desk and looked at the thick stack of books next to her, realizing that she really wasn't joking a few days ago.

Thankfully, it wasn't a joke, he thought; otherwise, the idea he'd been working on for so long would have been wasted from that day on.

"Do you really want to start a company?" Lu Xingzhi asked her again to confirm.

"Yes!" Lin Yehuan answered quite firmly. Of course he had to be firm, otherwise how could he graduate?

"I have an idea..."

"Hmm?" Lin Yehuan couldn't help but feel strange. He tried to suppress his nervousness by drinking water. The mission was only 10% complete, and he could already join in? Was the system really that kind of benevolent?

What do you think of male birth control pills?

"Hmm..." It took Lin Yehuan two seconds to realize what he had heard, and he choked on his water. "Huh?"

Dude, your technique is way too difficult!
