TWWMABMTBH Chapter 21

Chapter 21: I See Your Face and Want…

Struck repeatedly by Rong Ziyan’s bad luck, the system was speechless for a long time, unable to even utter a “damn it.”

Rong Ziyan calmly opened the system instructions to check them. At the same time, a snow-white goose egg landed in his palm.

Item details: Wanxi white goose egg, fertilized egg, 100% hatching rate. A must-have cute pet for a tough guy. Its snow-white feathers can heal your barren heart. [Hatchable, group rearing recommended]

System: Pffft hahahahaha, what the hell is a tough guy?

The previously sulky system was immediately amused by this description and started laughing uncontrollably.

Rong Ziyan, however, carefully examined the egg, thinking that this goose egg didn’t seem quite the same as the Wanxi white geese he remembered.

So, was it telling him to hatch the goose?

Rong Ziyan carefully recalled the characteristics of Wanxi white geese.

Wanxi white geese are large geese that produce down, and they are generally more common in the south. So, was the Heavenly Path suggesting that he was making money too slowly by selling salted duck eggs, and was it indicating that he could start down the path of animal breeding?

After a couple of thoughts about the precautions for raising geese swirled in Rong Ziyan’s mind, he couldn’t help but become curious.

He really wanted to know what would be different about these hatched geese compared to ordinary Wanxi white geese.

Coincidentally, someone called him at this moment, interrupting Rong Ziyan’s train of thought. Rong Ziyan glanced at the caller ID. It was a senior classmate he had worked on projects with before.

“What’s wrong?” Rong Ziyan asked.

“Don’t even mention it, be careful lately!” The senior’s tone was very annoyed. “That rich second generation in your dorm seems to be trying to cause trouble for you.”

The senior was very angry when he brought this up. It was also a coincidence that the professor the rich second generation had found was the senior’s PhD advisor.

So as soon as he heard the rich second generation was coming, the senior had been paying close attention to the situation. As expected, he discovered the rich second generation’s plan to deal with Rong Ziyan and quickly came to warn him.

Rong Ziyan understood what he meant, but he didn’t think that the rich second generation had a chance to defeat him.

Publishing a paper in a core journal was not a simple homework assignment, and it couldn’t be just copied. It had to go through layers of research and proof.

The truth cannot be faked, and the fake cannot be true.

Moreover, this rich second generation was committing academic fraud at such a young age, which was simply ruining his future.

“Are you sure?” The senior was also shocked.

“I’m sure.” Rong Ziyan nodded. “He doesn’t even know that his paper and mine are not in the same research direction. How could it possibly be his own work?”

The senior was originally worried about Rong Ziyan, but he completely relaxed after hearing this. He thought that the rich second generation was indeed a big idiot. With the best resources at home, if he had just put a little effort in, he would have already achieved something by now.

With a head full of rubbish, he still wanted to get into the scientific research field. It seemed he hadn’t truly experienced the real world.

“Even so, you still need to be more careful.” The senior advised Rong Ziyan a few more times before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up, Rong Ziyan thought for a while, then transferred another 10 cents to the loan shark’s Alipay account. But this time, he added a note.

Note: Did you know? On August 10, 2018, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security sought public opinion on the “Regulations on the Management of Professional Title Evaluation” on the Chinese government’s legal information website. The “Regulations” proposed that professional title evaluation should prioritize ethics, implement a “one-vote veto” for academic fraud, and include such individuals in a credit “blacklist.”

The rich second generation happened to have his Alipay open, and he received the notification right away. He was furious the instant he saw the note.

But Rong Ziyan’s actions gave him an idea. He finally had the opportunity to insult Rong Ziyan.

So he deliberately transferred 999 to mock Rong Ziyan. He typed the note very slowly, and it was full of insults directed at Rong Ziyan.

The rich second generation thought that after insulting Rong Ziyan, according to Rong Ziyan’s personality, even if he didn’t want to pay attention to him, he would at least try to make the money back. That way, he could keep using this money to insult Rong Ziyan, and there would be back-and-forth. He could vent his anger.

But he had clearly overestimated himself.

This time, a full half hour passed before Rong Ziyan replied with four words in the payment receipt.

“Too many words, too lazy to read, but thanks, boss.”

So Rong Ziyan had taken the money?

The rich second generation was so angry that he wanted to send a message to Rong Ziyan, but he discovered that their Alipay accounts were not friends. In other words, if he wanted to curse again, he had to spend money first.

But even if it was just 10 cents, it was still his money. Spending money to curse Rong Ziyan was like throwing a meat bun to a dog – it would be gone for good. And judging from Rong Ziyan’s reaction, he might even be using him as a cash machine.

Damn it! He had been played by Rong Ziyan again. The rich second generation was so angry his heart was pounding. He collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted, unable to move even a finger.

[Anger value 4000]

After providing a massive amount of anger value at once, the rich second generation did not continue to provide bits and pieces of value as he had done before. He was clearly either passed out with anger or had been made stupid with anger.

Rong Ziyan sighed: Getting this angry, he’ll be dead soon without even having to activate the ancestral curse.

The system was speechless: Rong, I beg you, act like a human being! You’re probably the first debtor in the entire country to piss off his creditor to death.

Thus, having obtained a new item through the lottery and tricked the rich second generation out of some money, Rong Ziyan was in a very good mood. He turned around and donated the 999 RMB he got from the rich second generation to a charity for impoverished mountain areas, adding a note: “Learning from Comrade Lei Feng.”

If the rich second generation had too much money, Rong Ziyan would help him do some charity. Although it wouldn’t wash away his past sins, at least it would give him something to look forward to. Maybe when he was behind bars later, it would help improve his vile personality.

There were still about two hours left before arriving back at the village. After all the commotion, Rong Ziyan also felt a bit tired. He leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest for a while. The system also stopped talking to him so that he could get some rest.

In the class group chat, since Rong Ziyan and the rich second generation, the two main topics of conversation, were no longer speaking, the topic gradually changed, and eventually, everyone also fell silent.

The rest of the way was uneventful. By the time Rong Ziyan opened his eyes again, the bus had already stopped in town.

Rong Ziyan got off the bus and looked at the time. He estimated that it would be time to cook dinner by the time he got back.

Coincidentally, there was an aunt selling vegetables from a cart by the bus stop. She enthusiastically greeted people getting off the bus.

“Fresh vegetables! Homegrown, no pesticides, picked this noon, take a look, come and see!”

Rong Ziyan went over to take a look. The vibrant green vegetables looked very fresh and appetizing.

Rong Ziyan thought for a moment, then bought a bunch of leeks, planning to make a leek and egg stir-fry when he got back.

There were tractors in the town that went to the village. Rong Ziyan’s timing was good, as there was one returning to the village. The tractor driver smiled when he saw him.

“Little Doctor Rong is back?”

“I’m back.” Rong Ziyan nodded, then, carrying his vegetables, he boarded the tractor heading back to the village.

The tractor stopped at the village entrance. After getting off, Rong Ziyan didn’t go straight home. Instead, he went to the animal husbandry station first to see if there was anything going on. At the same time, he wanted to use the animal husbandry station’s incubator to hatch the goose egg he had drawn today.

Having made up his mind, Rong Ziyan walked towards the animal husbandry station.

In the evening, Rong Ziyan was walking back along the small path, feeling very content as he looked at the thriving crops on both sides of the path.

Just then, a large goose suddenly rushed out from the direction of the field embankment. Looking at it in the sunlight, the goose’s beak, the edges of its eyes, and the tips of its wings all had a bit of grayish-blue. The unique luster of the bird’s feathers added an unexpected touch of elegance. No matter how you looked at it, it was a remarkably beautiful and handsome goose.

Rong Ziyan stopped to look at the goose, feeling quite surprised. Most of the people in the village raised chickens and ducks, and he had never really seen any geese, especially not this breed.

Rong Ziyan immediately recognized the breed of the goose that was heading toward him. It was a Yangjiang goose, a typical meat goose, with tender meat and a very delicious flavor.

The goose was not afraid of strangers. When it saw Rong Ziyan looking at it, it immediately waddled over on its two legs and stopped in front of him.

Geese were known to be aggressive, so Rong Ziyan was wary of it suddenly pecking him and wanted to take a step back. However, he saw a heart slowly appear and start bouncing above the goose’s head.

Goose: Daddy~ I give you my heart~

System: Damn it! Rong Ziyan, when did you have a bastard behind my back?!

Rong Ziyan was also confused. But the goose had clearly decided that Rong Ziyan was its father and rubbed its head against his pants leg.

[Goose’s intimacy +1000]

[Goose’s intimacy +1000]

As for the words above the goose’s head, little hearts were also appearing in droves, instantly surrounding Rong Ziyan from head to toe.

Rong Ziyan: Who are you calling daddy?

Goose: Hehehe.

Its black bean eyes were full of adoration. It was clearly a fully grown goose, yet it had the skills of a spoiled child. It was surprisingly cute.

Rong Ziyan couldn’t help but pinch the tuft of feathers on the goose’s head. The goose’s eyes lit up, and it immediately sent more little hearts to Rong Ziyan.

In just a few moments, this goose had provided Rong Ziyan with nearly 5,000 gold coins.

The system could no longer hold back and accused him: Look at him! You’re still making excuses. This really is your bastard child behind my back!

Rong Ziyan, you heartless jerk!

The system shouted “I don’t hear it, I don’t hear it, I don’t hear it,” turning itself into a pufferfish.

Rong Ziyan was helpless and tried to explain in a good-natured way.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard someone whistle in the distance.

The goose, which had been around Rong Ziyan, immediately stopped moving and tilted its head to listen.

Then, it reluctantly rubbed against Rong Ziyan one more time before turning around and waddling away with its two legs toward the source of the sound.

Rong Ziyan said to the system, “See, I told you I was right! It belongs to someone else.”

While trying to reassure the system, Rong Ziyan looked up in the direction of the whistle, wanting to see who the owner of this goose was that randomly called him “dad.” However, he saw a very handsome young man.

Standing on the embankment where the goose had first appeared, the young man had long legs and a narrow waist. His aura was charming and romantic, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were naturally smiling.

When the young man saw Rong Ziyan looking at him, he winked mischievously at Rong Ziyan, and the corners of his lips also curved into a beautiful arc, fitting the current definition of a heartthrob.

However, Rong Ziyan clearly heard the system notification [Lust value from Ji Shu 9999].

And above the young man’s head, a line of words also appeared, [I see your face and want…]
