Chapter 159 Money is a good thing (4k first update)
Wei Yunzhi was laughing so hard that her body was shaking, and Lin Zhiyuan also showed a rare helpless expression.

In his opinion, Li Yan used his money to win Wei Yunzhi's heart. As long as the beautiful girl was happy, he had nothing to say.

Li Yan’s idea was actually very simple. Since the online article would be put on the shelves soon, the more than one thousand yuan in royalties would be just pocket money.

Having this amount of pocket money in junior high school was something I could never have imagined before I was reborn.

He only earned four hundred yuan a month in high school, and a packet of instant noodles and some sausages from the canteen every Friday night was considered a snack.

He has also read some online novels about rebirth. Who doesn’t use cheats to make a lot of money as soon as they go back?
When I was reborn, I only had two coins in my hand. Within a month, my pocket money was 200,000 yuan. After a year or two, 10 million yuan was just a drop in the bucket. A contract worth hundreds of billions...

Why don’t I have this treatment?
If all else fails, a bank card will fall from the sky and I can open it to show six million.

He thought that his path should be to secretly carry tens of thousands of dollars to school as soon as the summer vacation was over, to show off, to Zhang Ming and He Han, to let them experience the power of money at a young age; then he would take advantage of various information gaps and fly all the way, and in junior high school he would sit in an office of several thousand square meters and sigh:
Money is just a number to me. I want to find the meaning of life.

If you want to get good results, you have to practice, practice hard, and there is no shortcut for you.

If there is an author writing his own life, wouldn’t this author be too perverted?
Up to now, my first and second pots of gold were both earned from royalties from my writings with my solid strength. I have become almost the most awesome junior high school student in the province during my time there, and only then can I finally stop taking this thousand yuan seriously.

But apart from anything else, the money earned in this way is really sweet, and it is really comfortable to spend it.

Maybe this humble fifteen hundred yuan will be the happiest pocket money he has ever spent in his life.

The breakfast was not large and was finished quickly. Wei Yunzhi suddenly suggested going to Rongxi Commercial City again.

"Provide you with a stage to be a dandy."

Lin Zhiyuan said he didn’t quite understand this kind of interaction, but buying things was good!
The three of them walked slowly towards Rongxi Commercial City, complaining all the way about the three middle-aged men who had just eaten next door.

The three of them were huddled around the small table and couldn't even lift their left hands to eat.

However, the content of their conversation was quite explosive. One said, "I drank with a boss until midnight last night and negotiated a project worth three million." Another immediately said, "Is three million worth drinking with him?" And another shook his head and said, "I have never drank with my boss when I got a project worth 20 million."

At that time, Lin Zhiyuan almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but was persuaded by Li Yan's words, "They may be talking about the project itself, and it has nothing to do with how much money you make."

Then I heard this conversation:

"Brother, don't drink with me for projects worth three million in the future. It's not worth it. If you drink too much, you will ruin your health. How many three million will you lose?"

"Brother, you're right. How much of your 20 million did you end up taking out?"

"What do you mean by how much you draw? Are you looking down on your brother? You got everything."

Lin Zhiyuan was about to lose his temper again, and Li Yan convinced him with an excuse: "He might be a real big shot, and he came here to find the taste of his childhood."

In the end, they watched helplessly as the three big brothers forced the boss to reduce the 41-dollar bill.

Li Yan really didn’t want to find the excuse of “rich but stingy” anymore...she decided to label the three of them as boastful idiots.

But it provided some fun for casual chatting on the road, which was not bad. Wei Yunzhi was amused and laughed all the time. When he walked to the commercial city, he said that his legs were not tired, but he was tired of laughing.

Walking into the trade city, Li Yan suddenly realized that as a male who was not used to shopping, he would get lost in the mall.

I have no idea what to buy.

After walking around without any ideas, Li Yan decided to carry out the task plan. She bought a gift for her parents, herself, Xiaopang, and Wei Yunzhi, and then had a meal at noon.

It was very easy to decide on gifts for parents - clothes. Li Yan still vividly remembered the embarrassment of Chen Fengling when she was reluctant to attend the parent-teacher meeting.

Ding!
[Filial piety +1, large experience pack, total 23]

Every time this skill increases, it is because of some actually insignificant things, which makes Li Yan feel ashamed.

But where to buy it?

Li Yan didn't recognize any of the numerous brands on display. He was about to walk into a store at random but was stopped by Wei Yunzhi.

"I know this one," Wei Yunzhi pointed to a large clothing store, "the quality is good and guaranteed."

Women are indeed better at shopping.

Li Yan decided to listen to the professionals, but when she passed by the store she was about to enter, she couldn't help but take a look at the tag on the model.

An ordinary-looking windbreaker costs 1500 yuan.

Shit, he’s such a dandy, but this is only enough to buy a piece of clothing?
Li Yan followed Wei Yunzhi into the store and mechanically answered questions about her parents' age, height, weight and other data. She took the opportunity to glance at the tag - 200 yuan.

He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked out two coats and packed them, costing a total of 460 yuan.

Ding!
[Consumption +1, level 40 skill, influenced by level skill economics, total ]

Is this also a skill?
Li Yan felt that apart from becoming more sensitive in judging prices, there didn't seem to be much improvement.

“Maybe I need to go back and read some economics books to find a deeper understanding of consumption-related knowledge?”

"He's like this from time to time." Xiaopang was explaining Li Yan's sudden absent-mindedness to Wei Yunzhi.

"Geniuses always have something special." Wei Yunzhi smiled, his eyes always looking at Li Yan.

Lin Zhiyuan suddenly felt that he was redundant.

"What about you? What do you want to buy?" Wei Yunzhi asked Li Yan as he approached her.

"what……"

"How about buying a pair of shoes?"

"Huh? Good idea." Li Yan was a little tempted.

"Since you are also a sports person, you can't go wrong buying sports equipment. There is no badminton store here, but there are plenty of shoes."

Lin Zhiyuan was secretly annoyed. Why couldn't he come up with such a good suggestion?
The three of them went to a Nike store again. In that era, Nike shoes were a simple way for students to distinguish their "classes".

For example, Wang Hang has always believed that he has established an unshakable status in the industry by relying on a pair of the latest and genuine AJ shoes on his feet.

Instead of thinking it came from his own father.

Seeing this store, Li Yan recalled that before her rebirth, she didn’t buy her first pair of Nike shoes until she graduated. Before that, no pair of shoes cost more than two hundred yuan.

Although at that time Nike had lost its former glory due to the patriotic trend and the rise of other brands.

But when Li Yan bought it, he was actually a little happy. He obviously hated Nike being involved in politics.

Sometimes it takes a lifetime to make up for some shortcomings of childhood.

Just like he also loves to eat grilled sausages, he knows it is not a good thing and has no nutrition, but he can't resist that one bite not only satisfies his immediate appetite, but also the gluttony that was restricted in his childhood.

Maybe it has nothing to do with how good the shoes are, what brand they are, or even whether Li Yan likes shoes or not.

Just buy a mood.

He can now fulfill his teenage desires while he is still a teenager.

However, he was always choosing in the discount area and ignored the latest models. While Lin Zhiyuan was picking and choosing with Li Yan, Wei Yunzhi directly stuffed the latest running shoes into Li Yan's hands.

"Six hundred yuan is too expensive..." Li Yan took back the half sentence of "I'll buy you two things and have dinner later."

"I bought it. Since I promised to be a playboy, I have to be willful." Wei Yunzhi crossed his arms, looking unquestionable.

Li Yan hesitated for only a second, then patted his head and thought, damn, six hundred is nothing!

Which reborn person would hesitate to buy a pair of shoes worth 600 yuan after earning money? He paid for it decisively. "Pick a hairpin for me." Wei Yunzhi took the initiative to ask right after buying the shoes.

"I want Yu-Gi-Oh! I've had my eyes on one set for a long time, but my family won't buy it for me. If you give it to me, they won't have any complaints!" Xiaopang raised his hand high.

Li Yan smiled as she pursed her lips to look at these two things. A hairpin and a box of Yu-Gi-Oh!, the total cost would not exceed fifty yuan.

Wei Yunzhi brought Li Yan to a small jewelry store, took out a board of hairpins with ease, and asked Li Yan to help her pick one.

Li Yan quickly selected a pink hairpin, "It goes well with your current outfit."

The total shopping amount is 3 yuan.

Wei Yunzhi happily put on the hairpin, looked at herself in the mirror, turned around and asked Li Yan with a smile: "Does it look good?"

It was so dazzling that Lin Zhiyuan had to look away.

"I picked it, so it can't be bad." Li Yan said with a smile, "Have you seen this hairpin for a while?"

"Correct."

“Why not buy it?”

The possibility that three dollars can't buy something... For local students in New Taipei City, this should not exist.

"The one you picked looks better."

Yo yo yo yo, the little fat man immediately turned into an expression that looked like he deserved a beating.

Soon, he bought the Yu-Gi-Oh cards he had always dreamed of, and was completely absorbed by them.

Li Yan did not respond to Wei Yunzhi's words, and Wei Yunzhi did not seem to care about the matter. The two of them began to discuss the next item tacitly and naturally.

"Let's eat. You two are trying to save money for me. Let's have a big meal at noon." Li Yan looked around and pointed to a western restaurant. "Let's have this, Ace Steak."

"It's too expensive. I can't eat here." Wei Yunzhi responded straightforwardly, "It's a high-end restaurant with an average price of 500 per person."

Xiaopang was stunned, "Wow, Senior Sister, have you eaten it before?"

Wei Yunzhi waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I saw the flyer at the door."

So the three of them chose another western restaurant. The waiter at the door saw three children who looked like junior high school students walk in. After confirming twice that there were only three of them, he brought them the children's menu.

Li Yan took out the remaining red notes and said, "Hello, could you please give me the main course menu?"

The waiter hurriedly changed the menu with a surprised look on his face.

Li Yan bared her teeth at Xiao Pang and Wei Yunzhi, "Actually, I'm so embarrassed, but is this what it feels like to show off with money?"

This kind of pretense is very vulgar, but it feels good on another level.

Even if you want to show off, you have to combine work and rest to appeal to both the elite and the masses.

Xiao Pang nodded, then immediately realized something was wrong and shook his head again and again, "I have never used money to show off."

The dishes are very delicate and high-end, the portions are small and the prices are very expensive.

At that time, it was not popular to eat with your phone first. You didn’t have to wait until all the dishes were ready before starting to eat, nor would you wait until the food had expired to take pictures.

All of them are eaten in the most suitable state, warm and rich mushroom soup, crispy fried food, steak with unclear texture, and drink with unclear taste...

It's true that he doesn't understand what it means. Li Yan joked that wild boars can't eat fine bran, and still thinks the noodles in the morning are delicious.

But it seems that Wei Yunzhi likes to eat very much and has a big appetite.

The environment of the western restaurant is naturally much more upscale than the noodle shop, but the booths are back to back, and when the girls behind her lean on the back of the chair to discuss, Li Yan can hear clearly:
"Have you read Mr. Shenxu's comments? They are very interesting."

No way, I can even meet a book friend here? Li Yan's ears perked up immediately.

Wei Yunzhi was sitting next to Li Yan, so naturally he could hear it as well.

The fat guy opposite just turned a deaf ear to what was happening at the other table and was only focused on showing off his French fries.

Li Yan thought he could hear the girls behind him comment on his work, but after listening for a while, he found out that they hadn't read the book at all. They just thought that Mr. Shenxu's "star-chasing" behavior was cute.

“It can’t be defined as star-chasing… people are reading books.” Li Yan whispered.

"What is this Golden Alliance they are talking about?"

"Uh, a reward on a novel website."

"Why do you care so much?"

Li Yan quickly responded, "Because I am a gossipy person. I love gossip."

"You are lying."

I have 40 points of "acting" skills, so don't guess randomly.

"I am indeed curious about some of the hot topics that others are talking about."

"I thought you wrote a novel, too."

Just then, Xiaopang shouted that he was too full, and Li Yan changed the subject by saying he would pay the bill.

As for the discussion behind me, it quickly turned into "If XX could give me a heart, I would give him a reward of one million."

After all this time it turns out it was just for bragging, it was a waste of time.

The meal cost nearly four hundred yuan. Although Li Yan didn't understand what she was eating, she felt very happy.

Isn’t there a saying? When you were a kid, you didn’t have the money to buy what you wanted, but when you grow up, you make money but don’t have what you want to buy.

Of course there are things I want to buy, but when I grow up, a lot of money is spent on "necessary" things rather than "wanted" things.

When we reached the crossroads, it was time to end my happy gathering with Wei Yunzhi.

The little fat boy watched Li Yan leave for a long time and was about to tease her, but Li Yan suddenly asked:

"Zhiyuan, this is your life, right? You can buy whatever you want. Is it so great to have money?"

Lin Zhiyuan didn’t have much sympathy. He had never been poor, and he even felt bad for “not being able to buy the best”.

Just like the pain of rich second-generation people like Xiong Da.

So he didn't understand the complicated emotions in Li Yan's heart, he was just very happy that Li Yan gave him Yu-Gi-Oh.

"Money is an important resource after all," Li Yan said goodbye to Xiao Pang and was walking slowly back to the dormitory. "Connections, money, ability... If you want to accomplish something big, all of them are indispensable. Ability must be ahead of everyone, and so are connections and money."

When he walked into the dormitory, Li Ruofei just came out of the toilet and was about to greet Li Yan enthusiastically, but he saw him shaking his head and sighing and saying:

"Well, let's just make some money first."

　Today is a day of ten thousand. I let it all out in one breath in the morning, and then I have to socialize again tomorrow night, so I let out a long sigh.

　　There should be two updates tomorrow and the day after tomorrow (I haven’t written the one for the day after tomorrow yet, I’m too busy), and I’ll try to adjust my state and write more on the weekend.
