Cartier classic diamond necklace, official website price: 24.9888 yuan.

Ferrari global limited edition Gale Cheetah Black Diamond version, market price: around 2100 yuan.

Longcheng city center "Yipin Tangchen" 500-square-meter river-view flat, market price: starting from 3000 yuan.

Shen Ci sat on a plaza bench and scrolled through her phone for a full two hours before finally figuring out the true situation of this world.

Almost all people, events, and objects remained unchanged; the only thing that had changed was the price. Based on the price conversion from her past life's memories, the current world had depreciated by a full ten thousand times.

In other words, the ten-yuan check Li Xiao's mother gave her was equivalent to one hundred thousand in her past life.

However, just as Shen Ci wanted to see how much money she had now and subconsciously clicked on her WeChat wallet, she almost screamed.

She covered her mouth with her hand and widened her eyes, looking at the string of numbers after the balance:. 6725 yuan.

Nearly 650,000!

Shen Ci was no stranger to this string of numbers, because before she retired, she sold her car. The car dealership transferred six hundred thousand to her via WeChat in six installments, which, added to her original WeChat balance, was the number she saw now.

Her WeChat balance had actually followed her from 65 years old back to 20?

Wait...

If the WeChat balance could do this, what about her bank card?

The nearly five million she had saved for her retirement and coffin money over her lifetime was all on one "Construction Bank" card.

Her fingers trembled slightly, out of her control. She clicked on the interface for binding bank cards in her WeChat wallet. Although she didn't remember the full card number, she remembered the last four digits very clearly.

1069.

The screen jumped. WeChat was bound to only one bank card, and the card displayed four words: "Space-Time Bank."

Seeing the last four digits of the card number, Shen Ci's pupils trembled with excitement: it was "1069"!

She regained her composure, her mind racing. She quickly switched the phone screen back to the main page and indeed saw a "Space-Time Bank" app.

Everything was so surreal that Shen Ci wouldn't feel surprised by anything unexpected that happened afterward.

She clicked on the app. The system automatically scanned her face and logged her in directly. The page was so simple that there was no messy text or advertisements; it only displayed Shen Ci's name, card number, and the balance in the card.

. 88 yuan.

All her savings from her past life, not a single cent missing!

And in this world where everything had depreciated, her existing assets were equivalent to—over fifty billion!

Fifty billion?

The obscurity of this number was no less than that of 7.5 li.

September in Longcheng was very muggy, but Shen Ci sat in the plaza until dark before finally calming herself down completely.

Finally, she stood up, hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and returned to school.

Longcheng University of Technology, Girls' Dormitory 309.

Returning here again, Shen Ci stood outside the door, let out a light breath, and then pushed the door open to enter.

The dormitory was playing the latest hit single by a Korean girl group. On the bed to the left near the door, the ordinary-looking Lin Shuang was playing a game with an online "wild king" using a standard "clip" voice.

At the desk under the bed on the right, the plump Wang Hou was burying her head in spicy hot pot, her phone on a stand as she watched a BL drama.

Near the left side of the balcony, the outstanding-looking Yu Xinxin was hunched over, holding her feet and painting her nails.

Shen Ci's appearance didn't cause anyone to react in the slightest; no one even turned their head or looked up at her.

It was the same familiar recipe, the same familiar scene.

In her past life, she had spent all four years of university in such an isolated environment.

She went straight to her own spot. It was a bunk bed with a desk underneath. At just one glance, Shen Ci sighed impatiently, because she discovered that whether it was on the desk or the bed, most of the things were gifts from Li Xiao.

She picked up a trash bag from the desk and, without a word, threw everything into it.

This action made the three roommates, who had previously ignored her, turn their heads to look over.

Then the three of them subconsciously looked at each other, suspicion in their eyes.

"Tsk." Yu Xinxin let out a snort, looking at Shen Ci with sarcasm: "What kind of wind are you blowing? These things aren't cheap, aren't they all gifts from Li Xiao? Did you have a fight?"

The other two showed gloating smiles upon hearing this.

Lin Shuang temporarily turned off the game voice chat and mocked with her original voice: "Did you break up?"

Hearing the word "break up," Yu Xinxin's eyes lit up.

She couldn't wait for Shen Ci to be dumped. Why was she prettier and more popular than her? Why was it that she had known Li Xiao first, yet Li Xiao had fallen for Shen Ci?

Shen Ci couldn't be bothered to deal with them; she just focused on searching through her drawer. She remembered that the ring Li Xiao gave her was kept inside, so why was it gone?

After a while, she finally felt the ring in the very back. Shen Ci didn't even look at it and threw it directly into the trash bag.

Yu Xinxin's smile froze, and her eyes widened: "Shen Ci, are you okay? That ring is worth nearly three yuan!"

"Do you want it?"

Shen Ci turned to look at Yu Xinxin, her face expressionless.

Yu Xinxin was startled and asked tentatively: "You... you really don't want it anymore?"

Shen Ci curled her lips and sneered: "If you want it, go pick it up from the trash can downstairs in a while. Don't think I'll give it to you for free."

"You..." Yu Xinxin's face was embarrassed, and she shouted in shame and anger: "Who wants your broken ring? Your own family is dirt poor. You have the nerve to act like a big spender in front of us!"

"Exactly, it's Li Xiao who has money, not you." Lin Shuang echoed with disdain, then realized she had forgotten to turn off the voice chat, and quickly switched back to her "clip" voice: "That wasn't me talking just now, it was my roommate. You're so amazing, five kills again..."

The dormitory door was pushed open at this moment. Wu Yu from the next dorm appeared at the door, looking at Shen Ci with excitement: "Shen Ci, hurry downstairs. Li Xiao is holding such a big bouquet of roses waiting for you."

As she spoke, Wu Yu exaggeratedly gestured how "big" it was, and showed an envious expression.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xinxin sprang up from her chair, Wang Hou stopped eating, and Lin Shuang stopped playing. The three of them squeezed onto the balcony window to look down.

There were quite a few people gathered downstairs at the girls' dorm. Li Xiao was standing there holding a large bouquet of bright red roses, looking up slightly at the window of Dorm 309.

Yu Xinxin's eyes turned red with jealousy, her nails digging into her palms as she gritted her teeth: "Shen Ci, what are you pretending for? If you broke up, would Li Xiao still come to find you?"

Shen Ci didn't lean over to look. She tied a dead knot in the trash bag, picked it up, and quickly walked out of the dorm. ===== CHAPTER 3 =====
