Facing Zhou Yuchao's provocation and sarcasm, Gao Yan smiled, "I have no choice but to work hard. After all, now that we're in college, we're adults. We can't just keep asking our families for money, right? What would that make us, overgrown babies?"
Hearing Gao Yan's retort, Zhou Yuchao's face darkened. It was clear Gao Yan was mocking him for being someone who only knows how to ask his family for money.
But Zhou Yuchao didn't want to admit defeat, so he sneered, "I can't help it if my family doesn't want me to suffer. Besides, college is the time to learn. If you spend all your energy making a bit of money, isn't that like losing the watermelon to pick up the sesame seed? Why go to college at all, just go work and earn money, right?"
Having already fallen out with Zhou Yuchao, Gao Yan's words became even less polite. He scoffed, "Learn?"
"I heard someone had to retake exams twice to pass last semester. Is that how you learn?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yuchao was almost furious enough to spit blood.
At this moment, Wang Qin returned from ordering food and said to Gao Yan, "Boss, the food is ready. They'll bring it over in a bit. Here's the change."
"Boss?"
Zhou Yuchao suddenly widened his eyes, staring at Gao Yan, "This milk tea shop is yours?"
Gao Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes, I just took over. By the way, do you want two cups of milk tea? Since we're classmates, I'll give you a 50% discount!"
"I wouldn't drink it even if you gave it to me for free!"
Hearing that the milk tea shop belonged to Gao Yan, Zhou Yuchao was almost angry enough to explode. He dragged Bai Wei away.
Seeing this, Gao Yan couldn't help but laugh, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
After walking some distance, Zhou Yuchao suddenly realized that taking over a milk tea shop must have cost Gao Yan tens of thousands. Where did he get so much money?
As far as he knew, both Gao Yan and Cheng Hao were broke.
It was impossible for them to come up with that much money.
Which means, this milk tea shop probably isn't Gao Yan's.
Bai Wei was also a bit puzzled. From what she knew, Gao Yan had to work part-time to cover his living expenses. Now he had taken over a milk tea shop. Could he be hiding his true capabilities?
Thinking of this, she suddenly became interested in Gao Yan. He had pursued her for several months, and if there was something to gain, why not give him a little taste?
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Gao Yan gave Wang Qin a few instructions and hurriedly left the milk tea shop.
There was a big lecture this afternoon.
The lecture was given by a retired professor who had been rehired.
Despite being nearly seventy, his lectures were anything but dull, full of wit and humor.
However, Gao Yan found it hard to concentrate, his mind occupied with thoughts of how to make more money.
The investment in the milk tea shop wasn't high, totaling less than a hundred thousand.
This left him with over nine hundred thousand.
Suddenly, Gao Yan had a thought. The system was called the God-tier Profit System, which provided rebates on income but didn't specify how the income had to be earned.
What about borrowing money?
If this method worked, he could exploit the system endlessly.
With this in mind, he decided to give it a try.
He sent Cheng Hao a WeChat message, asking him to transfer twenty thousand for urgent use.
Cheng Hao was straightforward and promptly transferred the money.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for reaching the upgrade standard in experience points. Would you like to upgrade?"
"Haha!"
If he weren't in class, Gao Yan would have laughed out loud.
He decisively chose to upgrade.
"Ding, system upgrade complete. The rebate on funds will increase to 3x, and you are awarded one lottery draw and 4 attribute points." The source of this chapter is g.com.
With a thought, Gao Yan opened the system panel.

"Another lottery draw opportunity!"
Gao Yan was about to initiate the draw when the system notification sounded, "Ding, system vulnerability detected, initiating repair!"
"Ding, repair successful. As a reward for discovering a system vulnerability, you are awarded one advanced lottery draw!"
Gao Yan was stunned, then a look of frustration appeared on his face. He had just found a way to quickly upgrade the system, only to realize he had exploited a loophole.
No matter, if borrowing money didn't work, there were other methods.
Oh, and the system had rewarded him with an advanced lottery draw.
He asked, "System, what's the difference between an advanced lottery draw and a regular one?"
System: "Host, draws without a prefix are standard draws. Advanced draws yield advanced prizes!"
"So that's it!"
Gao Yan realized, feeling a sense of anticipation.
The next moment, he silently said in his mind, "System, initiate the standard lottery draw!"
"Ding, initiating standard lottery draw!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning a Super Seasoning Recipe!"
"Another recipe?"
Gao Yan was taken aback. Was the system trying to make him a culinary tycoon?
The next moment, a golden light visible only to him entered his mind, and he suddenly had a Super Seasoning Recipe suitable for any cuisine.
With this Super Seasoning Recipe, even a novice chef could create top-tier dishes.
If he used this recipe to open a fast-food restaurant, it would definitely be a hit.
Then, he commanded, "System, initiate the advanced lottery draw!"
"Ding, initiating advanced lottery draw!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring the Combat Master skill. Would you like to claim it?"
"Not for now!"
Gao Yan replied. The previous three recipes had all turned into golden light and entered his mind, but this time it asked if he wanted to claim it, indicating that merging the skill might not be as simple as he thought.
He decided to wait until he returned to his rental apartment in the evening to claim it.
By five in the afternoon, the big lecture ended, and Gao Yan left the classroom with the crowd.
He didn't go to the milk tea shop.
Because he had thought of another way to gain experience.
Gao Yan went directly to a Fruit Phone store.
He spent seventy-two thousand yuan to buy fifteen of the latest models of Fruit Phones.
Then he took photos of the phones and posted them in the class group chat, adding a message: A relative's phone store is raising funds, and they asked me to help sell a batch of the latest Fruit Phones at a low price. Interested classmates can message me privately.
Within ten seconds of posting the message in the group, someone messaged Gao Yan privately.
Stars and Sea: Gao Yan, are those phones legit?
Stars and Sea was the WeChat display name of his classmate Wang Bo.
Heaven Bestows Me Talent: They're all unopened original phones. Only fifteen units. Market price is 5,000 yuan, but now only 4,000 yuan. First come, first served.
Stars and Sea: No way, really?
University students are usually quite sensitive to the prices of phones and computers.
Therefore, Wang Bo knew Gao Yan wasn't lying. The market price for this phone was indeed 5,000 yuan, and even with connections, it would only be 200 yuan cheaper.
If he could get one for 4,000 yuan, it would be a great deal.
So, he told his roommates about it.
"It can't be a scam, right? The latest Fruit Phones sell themselves. If it's this cheap, it might be smuggled goods!"
"Exactly, cheap goods aren't good!" Another roommate agreed.
"It shouldn't be. Gao Yan is our classmate. If he dared to sell smuggled goods, he wouldn't be able to show his face in class again!" Wang Bo shook his head.
"That's true. I don't know Gao Yan well, but he shouldn't be a scammer!" Another roommate added.
After thinking it over, Wang Bo decided to test the waters with Gao Yan: If I want to get one, when can I have it?
Heaven Bestows Me Talent: You can have it now. Come to the Meet Milk Tea Shop on Snack Street. Cash on delivery, and I guarantee the phone is fine. If there's a problem, I'll compensate you double.
Stars and Sea: Okay, wait for me, I'm coming right away.
Wang Bo decided to give it a try. What if it was real?
So, he told his roommates and hurried out of the dorm.
After dealing with Wang Bo, Gao Yan received more private messages.
By the time he arrived at the Meet Milk Tea Shop with over ten Fruit Phones, he had already confirmed five buyers.
About ten minutes later, Wang Bo arrived at the Meet Milk Tea Shop, panting, "Gao Yan, I'm not too late, am I?"
"No, you're the first. All the phones are here!"
Gao Yan smiled, pointing to the fifteen phones on the table.
