Chapter 6

However, compared to a day ago, Lin Yi was now considerably more confident.

After all, with money in his pocket, there was no need to panic!

In Magic City, a metropolis where most people spoke of money and human warmth was thin,

"money" was the prerequisite for all confidence.

He still remembered that during his freshman year, Lin Yi had fallen for a girl in his class,

a girl from Sichuan Province. She had a delicate, bird-like appearance, a melon-seed face, large eyes, and very fair skin.

Whenever she got shy, her face would turn bright red, which was extremely cute.

Unfortunately, she was not interested in Lin Yi.

After he pursued her for a while, the girl directly laid her cards on the table.

To be honest, Lin Yi still remembered the girl's words to this day.

"Student Lin, thank you for liking me, but I am not yet ready for a relationship. Moreover, I hope you focus more on your studies; after all, there is a difference between a scholarship and a student loan!"

Lin Yi had absolutely never expected that this delicate, bird-like girl could speak such hurtful words.

Later, after further provocation from a girl in the Economics and Management Department,

he finally saw reality clearly.

After running for a while, Lin Yi went to the school cafeteria.

The environment at his school was quite good.

Not to mention birdsong and fragrant flowers, but it was definitely a place of beautiful scenery.

It had even given rise to a doggerel poem.

"Within Songjiang University, the river reflects the white windows, intoxicating the view;

Lingering by the green water, one's heart flies away, lost in enchantment.

The lawn within the woods is beautiful, the square outside the woods is towering.

Behind the trees, aircraft wings appear; through the vicissitudes, one listens to the wind and thunder."

The entire campus was crisscrossed with water systems; right at the entrance stood white buildings by the water, exuding leisure and tranquility.

The square and the teaching buildings were grand and vigorous,

while the central landscape lake was vast and aesthetically pleasing.

After buying some steamed buns from the cafeteria, Lin Yi returned to his dormitory.

Since there were no classes this morning, when he returned to the dorm, everyone was still asleep.

"Steamed buns, I've bought them!!"

Lin Yi shouted loudly; regardless of whether those guys heard him or not,

he then changed into casual clothes and left the dormitory.

Because this morning, he still had a job handing out flyers.

To be honest, logically speaking, given his current worth and future potential, handing out flyers was completely unnecessary.

However, this was something he had promised two days ago, and one must see things through from start to finish.

Things once promised must absolutely never be reneged upon.

This was Lin Yi's standard for conducting oneself.

Walking along the long street, passing through the underground commercial district, and ascending the pedestrian bridge,

the temperature in September in Magic City was somewhat hot and muggy.

On the streets, many men and women were either bowing their heads to stare at their phones or whispering to each other.

When these people saw Lin Yi handing them flyers,

each of them wore looks of disgust and mockery.

As for these looks, Lin Yi had long grown accustomed to them.

So what if people disliked him!? So what if people mocked him!?

Decades ago, didn't Old Ma and Little Ma also humble themselves to secure investment?

To be honest, the reason Lin Yi was handing out flyers today was so that one day he could stand in the skyscrapers not far away, holding a glass of red wine and looking down at those people below, saying:

"I used to be just like that!"

This felt somewhat like the spiritual victory method of Ah Q.

However, while handing out flyers, Lin Yi was also pondering a question:

that is, what he should do next.

To be honest, before obtaining the Super Arms System, his greatest dream had been to lease a shop in Magic City,

running a beauty salon and barbershop, a specialty restaurant, and so on.

For this purpose, Lin Yi had even conducted special investigations,

but unfortunately, as an international metropolis, the competition was too fierce.

Every day, countless catering enterprises went bankrupt, and countless new ones were born.

Whether he could make money, Lin Yi did not know, but he was certain that with his slight frame, he would definitely not be able to build it up.

As for beauty salons and barbershops,

Lin Yi had initially planned to hire people to open a shop,

but after calculating the costs, he abandoned the idea.

Because it was simply not cost-effective; just for the initial shop rent, labor, utilities, and so on, it would cost at least over 100,000.

And this was just for an ordinary barbershop.

Of course, this was mainly because the startup capital he could support was too small.

Otherwise, these industries would certainly be profitable.

However, after obtaining the Super Arms System, Lin Yi genuinely looked down on these service sectors from the bottom of his heart.

As a student majoring in mechanical automation, although due to doing business, distributing flyers, and other reasons,

he had failed three courses last semester, even so, what he hoped for most was still to engage in real industry.

After all, his hidden identity as an arms merchant

was absolutely something that could not be exposed, whether internationally or domestically.

Otherwise, not to mention those foreign arms exporters,

just speaking of domestic law, it would be more than enough for Lin Yi to eat a clip of peanuts.

But, just imagine, in the future, the money he earned through the Arms System would be hundreds of millions, over a billion, or even tens of billions.

Could it be that once he got hold of this money, he would just idle away his days waiting for death and directly enter a life of retirement?

Do not forget that he is only twenty-one years old this year.

A person must always do something.

Furthermore, in this society, having money alone can at most satisfy one's material life.

However, once material life is satisfied to an extreme degree, a person will become extremely empty.

This is just like those second-generation rich kids in society.

Because of their emptiness, they can only focus their attention on women, sports cars, nightclubs, and the like.

Lin Yi did not want to become that kind of "second-generation rich kid" who idles away his days waiting for death.

Therefore, he planned to use the money earned from arms to invest in real industry.

It was just that regarding the specific investment projects, Lin Yi was still conducting careful investigations.
