Chapter 8
: What's your name?
"This kid is hopeless!" Liang Yanbo angrily picked up his empty plate and threw it into the recycling cart. "I'm so angry!"
Sitting next to Zhou Yu, Gao Ying asked curiously, "Why is he angry?"
Zhou Yu replied, "Because of our different stances."
Now that he has awakened his spiritual energy, he is a student being groomed by the school, and even his lunch is different from mine.
There are already class differences among people.
Unlike myself, who, at such a young age, has already become tainted by the stench of money.
"Anyway, let's ask first," Zhou Yu stood up and threw his plate into the recycling cart. "There are so many of us in the second year of high school. What if someone is really willing to invest in me? And a rich person at that."
Once you succeed once, and have a successful case, you can use that to promote it further.
When the time comes, won't people who are willing to invest in you flock to you?
……
One day passed.
The next morning.
Zhou Yu glanced at his WeChat balance.
Apart from the 800 yuan that Gao Ying transferred to me today, nothing has changed.
This is good news, meaning that Zhou Yu hasn't forgotten to pay off any of his debts.
Zhou Yu still vividly remembers the shock of the 100 yuan automatically deducted from his WeChat Pay account yesterday.
It was so painful.
I opened the shop as usual, and the daily quotas for Spirit Gathering Potions and Body Tempering Potions had been refreshed again.
Zhou Yu paid the full amount without hesitation and had all four injections administered simultaneously.
The upper and lower body experienced completely different sensations, and Zhou Yu immediately realized what the true feeling of experiencing both ice and fire was.
After receiving the injection, Zhou Yu wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth, got up to say goodbye to his family, and headed to school.
After he left, Zhou's mother went into Zhou Yu's room and saw the new water stains on his sheets and the wads of paper in the trash can.
Zhou's mother: "..."
This child...
How could so much pressure accumulate if I can't awaken my spiritual energy?
And why does it have to be done so early in the morning?
……
After leaving home and arriving at school, Zhou Yu had just sat down in the classroom when his homeroom teacher suddenly walked in through the back door.
"Zhou Yu."
Seeing his homeroom teacher approaching, Zhou Yu quickly stood up and asked, "Teacher, what's wrong?"
"Other teachers have already complained to me," the homeroom teacher said. "Yesterday you seemed to be asking other students if they wanted to invest in you or something, didn't you?"
Zhou Yu: "..."
No, how could such a bad reputation spread so quickly?
"I understand that you are very anxious because you can't awaken your spiritual energy. You want to try all sorts of methods to awaken it, but this is something that only talent can determine." The homeroom teacher sighed.
"Having money is useless. If having money could awaken spiritual energy, then those rich and powerful people wouldn't want to create alternate accounts."
Zhou Yu nodded excitedly, "I understand! You're trying to tell me that as long as I can awaken my spiritual energy, I'll be able to transcend social classes and achieve great things, right?"
The homeroom teacher shook his head. "No, what I mean is, stop bothering those students who have awakened their spiritual energy. You can't afford to ruin their future. If you're going to bother anyone, go bother those students who haven't awakened their spiritual energy yet."
Zhou Yu: "..."
I offered you a way out, but you won't give me one, is that it?
OK OK.
After the homeroom teacher left, Gao Ying also walked into the classroom.
"Hey? Yu-ge, what were you talking about with the homeroom teacher just now?"
Zhou Yu: "He told me to go and deflate his car tires in a bit."
"Really?" Gao Ying blinked. "Can I go too?"
Zhou Yu patted her on the shoulder, "Of course! We're like brothers, right? We'll share the hardships together!"
"Great!" Gao Ying suddenly said, "By the way, I have good news for you. I've found someone who wants to invest in you!"
Is this for real?
Zhou Yu's eyes lit up immediately. "Great! Where is he? When?"
Gao Ying replied, "But she has something to do in the morning, she'll be free at noon, we'll come to the classroom to find you after class."
"No need," Zhou Yu raised his hand, "Just come find me in the cafeteria."
canteen?
Gao Ying blinked, and although she didn't understand why, she still agreed.
Only Liang Yanbo, who was sitting in front, turned around and stared at Zhou Yu speechlessly.
"Are you trying to get lunch for free again?"
Zhou Yu retorted, "How can you call something a cultivator does for free? You're being incredibly rude!"
"Heh, I can tell what color your poop is just by which leg you step with first. Do you think I don't know you?"
Zhou Yu subconsciously took a step back, looking embarrassed. "Holy crap, you..."
Liang Yanbo noticed that Gao Ying had also subconsciously taken a step back. Not only the two of them, but also the classmates around them who had heard his voice were looking at him with fear.
"It's a metaphor! It's a metaphor! Don't misunderstand!"
Ring ring—
The bell rang promptly, and Liang Yanbo stood up, picked up the textbooks for the day, and headed out of the classroom. "Alright, alright, time for class. Class is the most important thing!"
Gao Ying waved to Zhou Yu and followed the group heading to class.
Zhou Yu looked around at his classmates who were trying to breathe in the air but had not yet awakened their spiritual energy.
With a sigh, Zhou Yu stood up and walked over to one of his classmates.
"Hey buddy, interested in learning about personal investing?"
classmate:"……"
……
At noon, at the entrance of the cafeteria.
Zhou Yu, whose meal card had no money, stood like a gatekeeper at the entrance of the cafeteria. After a morning of hard work, his balance still hadn't increased by a single penny.
However, Zhou Yu was not discouraged. The first pot of gold is often the hardest to earn. Once the first pot of gold is officially launched, the rest will naturally follow.
Therefore, he attaches great importance to his first official customer.
Soon, Gao Ying's face appeared in the crowd.
"Hey, Brother Yu!" Gao Ying greeted him as she approached. "You're waiting for us at the cafeteria entrance so early."
Zhou Yu really wanted to complain that without awakening his spiritual energy, he didn't even need to attend classes.
It seems the school doesn't really want to manage them; there isn't even a teacher patrolling, which is ridiculous.
It felt like they were just a bunch of livestock being let loose. As long as they paid the tuition, the rest of the focus was on the students who had already awakened their spiritual energy.
Although it was indeed very enjoyable to have a day without doing anything, Zhou Yu always felt guilty for having his mother pay for his schooling.
How about we just stop going to school starting next semester...?
"Let me introduce you!" Gao Ying stepped aside and introduced someone to Zhou Yu. "This is the person who is willing to invest in you!"
Zhou Yu looked ahead and saw an ordinary-looking boy standing in front of him. The boy was holding the same books as Gao Ying, clearly a student who had awakened his spiritual energy.
"Hello," the other person extended their hand to Zhou Yu, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Liu Bei."
Zhou Yu: "?"
What's your name?
