If Chen Yu's college life was once a struggle of necessity, it has now become an opportunity to savor the splendid moments. Only after entering college does one begin to miss their high school days, and only after graduation does one reminisce about the beautiful days spent at school.
The Chen Yu of the past strove for his parents and himself. The Chen Yu of now has surpassed ordinary humans, even transcending Earth's humanity...
For Chen Yu, money was easy to come by. His life here was about cultivating his sensibilities.
After attending classes for a few days, Chen Yu took a trip to a jade company over the weekend, selling all the jade he had purchased from the "Kidney" country. Since he had bought raw materials, the pricing was very generous, significantly bolstering Chen Yu's finances.
Nine million might not be a lot for the wealthy, but for an average family, it was an astronomical figure.
Naturally, Chen Yu didn't plan to enjoy life on his own. He called his parents, telling them he had won a lottery jackpot.
However, Chen Yu's father scolded him right off the bat, "You little rascal, have you been up to no good? Don't think your old man is so old that he doesn't understand. It's impossible to win the lottery!"
"Dad, I really won."
Chen Yu insisted, somewhat speechless.
Yet, his father scolded again, "You think I don't know that the lottery is about statistics, not probability? Dreaming of winning? Tell me, did you get into trouble?"
"Son, our family might not be well-off, but we must never engage in illegal activities," Chen Yu's mother also added over the phone.
This left Chen Yu exasperated.
Had he known it would cause such a misunderstanding, he wouldn't have mentioned winning the lottery...
Wasn't the issue here that his parents would rather believe he was involved in illegal activities than winning the lottery?
"Alright, I admit!" Chen Yu sighed, telling his parents, "I didn't win the lottery. I've been translating novels on foreign websites to make some money, hoping to improve our living conditions."
Hearing a more reasonable explanation, his parents finally relaxed.
Indeed, Da Xia's web novels were very popular overseas, with some even quitting "unquittable" habits for them.
Fortunately, Chen Yu's tall tale convinced his parents.
However, they were still shocked by the transfer of a hundred thousand yuan, not expecting such earnings.
Chen Yu could only laugh it off, knowing too well that too much money could cause even greater misunderstandings. Sending a million directly might have prompted his parents to rush over to Jiangdong University.
After transferring some money to his parents, Chen Yu went out again.
With his ID and driver's license in hand, he visited a Four Sons dealership in Jiangdong to choose a car.
Choosing a car online might be convenient, but there's a significant difference between pictures online and seeing the cars in person.
After a day of selection, Chen Yu purchased two cars: a luxurious sedan and a rugged SUV.
He bought both cars in full and got them licensed. Then, he drove the SUV to a secluded village on the outskirts of Jiangdong, found a spot without cameras, and stored it in his spatial storage.
The SUV, suitable for instance world use, would come in handy in the wilderness.
After storing the SUV, Chen Yu left the village, taking a long while to find a ride back to the city.
Then, he drove his new car back to school.
The Four Sons dealership was quite stunned to see such a young customer paying in full for two cars without much fuss.
Chen Yu felt a secret thrill, appreciating the smooth transaction.
Jiangdong University allowed vehicles on campus, provided they were registered with security and the student life committee.
Registering, of course, meant paying for a parking spot, which was no issue for Chen Yu.
With money smoothing the way, everything went smoothly.
The next Sunday, Chen Yu got up early, planning to drive to a nearby residential area to look for a house to rent.
Even for renting, he wanted a place with a better environment.
When his roommates, Wang Jing and Liu Yuan, saw Chen Yu stepping out of the luxury car, they were dumbfounded.
The young man had secretly bought a car!
Chen Yu, however, didn't see them and drove off in a flash.
The most convenient way to find a rental was through an agency, and despite their reputation for being exploitative, money wasn't an object for Chen Yu...
After looking around, he found a standalone villa in a community not far from Jiangdong University.
The rent was slightly higher, but it was fully furnished and well-decorated.
Satisfied after viewing the house, Chen Yu did some further investigation in the area with the agent's back turned and found no issues.
Discovering that many residents were also renters, Chen Yu confidently signed the lease.
"Got a car, got a house, seems like I'm still missing something."
Lying on the soft sofa in the villa, Chen Yu pondered again.
Then, noticing some dust on the table, he had an epiphany.
What was missing was a woman... or rather, a maid to clean.
Without hesitation, Chen Yu contacted a housekeeping service, paid for a maid to come and clean.
Given the size of the house, it was impossible for Chen Yu to manage alone.
Thanks to Chen Yu's prompt payment, the maid service was quick to respond, and several experienced aunties showed up, unsurprised by the task at hand.
After a day's cleaning, the villa was spotless, with no damages from the cleaning process.
Chen Yu gave them high praise.
The hired maid was only temporary, coming only when Chen Yu needed cleaning, so he wasn't worried about being disturbed while entering instances.
...
Time flew by, and soon it was time to draw for a new instance.
Driving to his rented villa, Chen Yu settled into his room and started the automatic instance draw on the "Ultraman Fighting Evolution" game page.
This time, Chen Yu was more prepared than ever, with a stable environment and a spatial storage filled with daily necessities, even including a diesel generator.
