Sometimes, you can't blame fate for being too coincidental; it's just that your circle is too small.
Shimen Agricultural University, the alma mater of Yang Genshuo and Cheng Bo, had the first script murder mystery store right outside the school on the commercial street.
It was when Yang Genshuo's career was thriving and he was making a fortune that he met Chen Wanting.
After she asked for his WeChat, Chen Wanting invited him out for meals several times. Feeling embarrassed to refuse, he went. Frankly speaking, when a young and beautiful girl takes the initiative to ask a single guy out, it's hard to resist.
Women might have various criteria in choosing a partner, but the thoughts of men are almost always the same.
One thing led to another, and soon they ended up together.
"Brother Genshuo~ can I come to your shop later, is that okay?"
"Brother Genshuo, let's have dinner together tonight, I'll treat you to Haidilao, okay?"
"This is the first time I've taken the initiative to ask a guy out for a meal~"
"Please pay attention to me, I'm really bored being alone in the dorm, I super want someone to accompany me~"
A girl's coquettish voice came from Yang Genshuo's phone, as clingy as it could get.
Chen Wanting's body suddenly stiffened.
The others also stopped and turned their puzzled gazes towards the person coming from behind, recognizing it as Chen Wanting's voice.
Pat pat pat~
Yang Genshuo clapped his hands and stepped forward.
"What a thoroughly enjoyable invitation! Isn't it, Wanting?"
Everyone looked towards Chen Wanting who had just been establishing a clean image of herself. Now caught in a reversal, her face had turned beet red.
Fei Yang, unable to stand seeing his goddess being humiliated, loudly scolded,
"Don't you have a sense of responsibility?"
"Don't you know to protect a girl's privacy?"
"How can you expose her like this, making her embarrassed, and still consider yourself a man?"
These words not only shocked Yang Genshuo but also left the other classmates thunderstruck. However, Fei Yang, for his goddess, continued fiercely,
"No matter what was said before, Wanting doesn't want to deal with you anymore; she's only annoyed by you now. Just delete her contact and stop bothering her!"
Although it was nonsense, Chen Wanting seemed to find her footing and immediately followed up,
"Yang Genshuo! Just leave, don't come to the university to find me anymore. I told you yesterday I'm really busy lately and have no time; please stop harassing me, okay?"
Her friend also quickly added in a taunting tone, "Look at yourself, do you think you're worthy of Wanting? With so many admirers she has, who can you compare with?"
"See that Bentley over there? That belongs to the young master of the Zhao Corporation; he was begging for Wanting's WeChat yesterday. Could you ever afford that in your lifetime?"
Everyone was surprised to look at Chen Wanting; Zhao Tiansi's name was well-known throughout the Agricultural University. He was generous and open-handed, never mistreating anyone he befriended.
And his family's wealth... well, as long as he doesn't go crazy and start investing or doing business, he could never spend it all.
If such a person was pursuing Chen Wanting, then she could really soar to the status of a phoenix, forgetting about job hunting, public sector exams, or postgraduate studies—she just had to think about becoming Mrs. Zhao!
Looking at the Bentley, Chen Wanting also gradually gained confidence.
"I didn't want to tell you this, but that's the reality. You better leave; don't humiliate yourself."
Chen Wanting's ambiguous words left her classmates even more astonished, especially the girls, whose eyes nearly spilled over with envy and jealousy.
Except for one person, who was as if petrified.
Fei Yang.
Even after sending this person away, the goddess would still be out of his reach, wouldn't she?
Gathering his courage, he said, "But it's not necessarily the case, right? After all, finding someone who truly loves and cares for you is the most important, and money... can be earned later, right? Ha ha ha~"
Nobody paid attention to him.
Yang Genshuo looked at the car they were pointing at.
"You're talking about that Bentley Bentayga?"
Her friend Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, "At least you know something, it's four million!"
"Sss~"
The students gasped, the figure shocking them, especially considering the companies that had come to recruit at the school recently offered a monthly salary of 4000...
It would take 1000 months of saving without eating or drinking to afford it!
"Oh? So the guy coming down from the car is Young Master Zhao?" Yang Genshuo asked somewhat mockingly.
Chen Wanting looked toward Zhao Tiansi who was approaching her quickly, with a slightly flattering smile, he tilted his chin up and spoke with restraint,
"For now, we are just friends, don't talk nonsense later..."
She thought Zhao Tiansi had approached her on purpose, seeing that she had the highest attractiveness amongst everyone present. There was no reason for Zhao Tiansi to look at anyone else.
Everyone's attention shifted towards Zhao Tiansi.
Noticing the crowd in front of him staring, Zhao Tiansi touched his nose,
"Are you guys nuts? Staring at someone in the middle of the night... haven't seen a handsome guy before?"
Turning his head, he spoke pleasingly, "Brother Genshuo, finished with work? I'll take you back."
Chen Wanting's face switched from anticipation to horror!
At that moment, observing Zhao Tiansi carefully approaching Yang Genshuo, he felt somewhat dazed and thought everything happening was too surreal.
Yang Genshuo pointed at Chen Wanting, "Do you two know each other?"
Zhao Tiansi stared at Chen Wanting for a moment, as if he had just realized something.
"Oh! You're the girl who asked for my WeChat in front of my car yesterday, right? I'm face-blind and don't remember clearly. I'm sorry, are you a friend of Genshuo too?"
Yang Genshuo: "Ex-girlfriend."
"Then I'll delete her."
Chen Wanting's face turned pale. At that moment, she felt as if she suddenly wore a red nose, and she could vaguely hear Batman's voice in her ears.
"Get back to Gotham, I promise I won't hit you!"
"Wuu wuu wuu!"
Chen Wanting could no longer bear the humiliation of being publicly executed and ran away crying.
Fei Yang felt a burst of joy in his heart. Now it should be my turn, right?
"Wanting, wait for me!"
The other students watched this miraculous scene under the night sky, feeling as though they had overeaten on melons and were so full that they had to quickly find a class group to digest it.
Yang Genshuo gave a cold smile and didn't want to glance at someone like Chen Wanting ever again.
At that moment, he even felt a bit relieved, relieved that his store had closed down and he could see just how shameless a person could be.
Zhao Tiansi was long accustomed to such situations.
"Genshuo, women, it doesn't matter. Just cure my kidney so I can return to the peak vitality of this age, and this Bentley is yours!"
"Lu Xun once said: 'To drive a Bentley at a young age, love is always very sweet!'"
Yang Genshuo turned around and said, "I thought it was your friend who had the kidney issue. Why is it in the first person now?"
"..." Zhao Tiansi said gloomily, "Genshuo, you can't do that."
...
Zhao Tiansi took Yang Genshuo home, and it was already 11 PM.
Pulling out a Solid Essence Rejuvenation Pill from the study, Zhao Tiansi just sniffed it and was conquered by the refreshing scent of herbs and wood.
"Genshuo, my sense of smell tells me this is absolutely top-notch stuff!"
After swallowing it, the heat spread from top to bottom, extending to both kidneys, and his vitality burst instantly!
Even though he had been taking small pills for a year, Zhao Tiansi felt his astonishing male energy at that moment!
"Genshuo! It works!"
"Here's the Bentley key, I'm going out to conquer now!"
"I'm incredibly strong now!"
Yang Genshuo said awkwardly, "This... it's too valuable, and how will you go?"
"I'll have my driver bring over my sports car."
"Okay, okay... come back here in a week for the second pill."
"Deal!"
Zhao Tiansi left excitedly, and a Bentley Bentayga was added to Yang Genshuo's yard.
"That's... quite sudden."
He had only intended to sell Zhao Tiansi a few pills to repay a 200,000 loan, but now... he ended up with a 4-million Bentley Bentayga directly.
"Maybe this is what being truly rich is... but, I'll be richer than him in the future."
Back in the study, looking at the computer.
In the game, only half a day had passed, Yang Shi sat alone in a safe house on the mountain under a lamp, engrossed in reading the Thirty-Six Stratagems, a satisfied smile on his face.
Yang Genshuo smiled, this was exactly what he wanted.
Yang Shi had a low level of education. During his 12 years as a beggar, he had learned some basic literacy from some educated old beggars.
After Jiang Xiaobai arrived, not only did he clear up the teahouse's accounts, but he also often taught him some cultural knowledge, and Yang Shi, having good comprehension, understood and absorbed it quickly.
The Thirty-Six Stratagems, a crystallization of ancient wisdom, also helped Yang Shi raise his cognitive level.
"As the family head of the Yang Family, since Yang Shi can't pursue the path of Immortal Cultivation, he must rely on methods and strategies to continuously develop the Yang Family until a cultivator appears in the family."
Although he could manifest to make decisions for Yang Shi during critical moments, most of the time, especially during Time Acceleration, Yang Shi had to rely on himself.
[Time Acceleration].
The Yang Family developed steadily in the game without any major moves.
Yang's board game teahouse added ten sets of Three Kingdoms Kill cards and one set of Werewolf Killing cards, making the business even more booming, and there were even queues forming in front of the teahouse, prompting Yang Shi to purchase the adjacent shop, expanding the teahouse's area.
Yang Shi practiced martial arts during the day and studied the Thirty-Six Stratagems at night, living a life both fulfilling and monotonous.
Yang Genshuo felt sleepy watching it.
Glancing at the time, it was already 12 AM.
"Let's sleep. When I wake up tomorrow, the Spirit Rice should be ripe. Let's see how much I can harvest."
Yawning, he was just about to briefly explain his 'meditation' to Yang Shi, when at night, a horse emitting light galloped towards the Yang Family estate.
"Eh? Is that a Spirit Beast?"
Riding the Spirit Horse was Liao Cao, the shopkeeper of Treasure Pavilion in Qingshi County, moving at a great speed, arriving at the main gate of the Yang Family estate in just a few moments.
He shouted anxiously, "Brother Yang Shi, there's big trouble!"
